"To most retailers,' the review
said, "the Christmas season has
brought the largest sales ince 1930,
with many reporting the 1929 fig
ures exceeded."
The largest gains were reported
tn the south and southwest where
sales were 20 to 40 per cent ni?her.
In the middle-west sales gained on
an average of 15 to 20 per cent.
Christmas buying on the Pacific
coast generally was reported as the
best since 1929 with the week's
gain set at 15 to 2S per cent orer a
year ago. Bales In Kew England are
averaging S to 12 per cent over a
year ago.
-Comforted by assurance that
1934 will close with trade positions
from both the volume and profit
standpoint the strongest achieved in
five yean, plans for a broader ex
pansion In 1935 are now being for
mulated,'' the review said.
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.

tngtoo, whose address was Creswell,
Ore, received a one-year certificate

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.

If the funds are available tn time no

j Next to that is the six mile sir.p re

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. A grading contract ha? been
