CHRISTMAS FIRE WARNING ISSUED Tin Chief H. H. Hutton today of fered advice to Salem residents as a precaution against fires during the holiday season. Great care should be taken, the chief said, with wiring Installed by amateurs for Christmas lighting. Al so, he said, everyone should be care ful about decorations of Christmas trees or rooms. No candles other than electric globes should be put on trees and paper should be kept clear of the globes. Further, says the chief, Christmas trees should be removed immediately after holiday week because when they become dry they are a more serious fire menace than when fresh.

Continuation of Flood Stage From Page One though some additional lowlands and hop yards will be flooded. I; was at this time las: year that the river rose to 21 fee;, causing some trouble for the railrosds and motor ists who found highways covered with wa:er. Tne Pudding river flats Just this side of Silvenon are flooded and the wate? standing within a foot of the pavement during the reaming. Tnose familiar with conditions pre dict that by ni?ht the hizhway will be covered. Silver creek is running bank full and though its overflow Is spreading over lowlands it has not yet reached real flood proportions. The Ab-.qua and Pudding rivers are both carrying capacity flews. At Jefferson the Santiam has reached Its highest point of the year and is touching the 13 foot mark Water Is spreading to the highway but had not covered It up to nocn. Continuation of the rain was ex pected to bring about this condition by nigtitfail. Traffic over the Pacific highway resumed at noon after being de toured between Eugene and Junc tion City, according to reports re ceived today from the Oregon state motor association bureau. Tne old Prairie road was used and flagmen were stationed by the highway de partment at either end to give di rections and warnings. It was also reported that the water had reached the depth of the radiator on an old model T Ford. Some encouragement was re ceived from Eugene In that the Mc Kenzle and Willamette rivers were beginning to fall during the morn ing and that there had been little rainfall during the day. Coupled with the heavy rainfall and contributing to conditions In the valley is the sudden rise in tem perature in the mountains which has caused snow to melt rapidly.

S:orm warnings for small craft were ordered up at all Oregon and Washington coast stations at 8 am. A southwest wind attained a veloc ity of 46 miles an hour at Tatoosh during the night. Tne weather forced airplanes to remain in their hangars. Visibility was reduced to one-half mile. Fog was reported heavy from Medford south to Redding, making air travel Impossible and road travel dangerous. Although rail and wire communi cation services generally continued uninterrupted, operators were ap prehensive. The weather bureau said heavy rain fell from Eugene north and from the coast to the Cascade mountains. In the Columbia valley It was raining from Astoria to The Dalles. In eastern Washington rain fell as far east as Spokane. It was raining at Bend in central Oregon, gon.

Continuation of Funds Ample From Page One If the funds are available tn time no doubt much of the remaining work may be dene nxt vear.

Immediately beyond tha: is a four mile stretch under contract to the Slate Construction company who so far, the report says, has only done a little work: but Is expected to wxd t;p on Its next summer. The next lfojr miies takes the road to the I junction and is all complete. The I fJ and Bend is also completed.' So, when the six miles is done under the $125,000 now allocated, the work will be as well as done from Detroit to Sisters. From Whitewater on to Mar.c-n creek the road is graveled with rather rough rock and only needs surfacing which will probably be done next summer. Between De troit and Whitewater the road is finished. After this entire section through the mountains is done there will still be the problem of handling the road from Detroit down to Mehama. While this road is all passable and well surfaced, a considerable part of it is a narrow road built by the gov ernment for ingress into the forest reserve and much of it winds around mountain sides and above high cliffs, it not being a road for the heavy and fast traffic expected on the new North Santiam high way when completed. The 13 miles to be done from De troit down to a point the other side of Gates is the most difficult work of all.
