HIGH SCHOOL
SITE PROPOSED
FOR ARMORY
Suggestion that If the proposed
armory proposition for Salem goes
over that a deal be made with the
state to take over the site of the
present high school building in
event the proposed school bond issue
goes through, has been offered by
Walter Minler, chairman of the Sa
lem school board, and it is under
stood that the matter will be taken
up for further serious consideration.
The proposed school bond Issue, if
It passes, would provide for a new
high school building on a new site.
At a prospective cost of $600,000 or
$700,000, the school itself would war
rant a grant of $270,000 or more of
PWA money from. the government.
It Is stated that the present school
plant started In 1905 has been con
structed at a cost of $175,000, cover
ing expenditures for the original
structure and various additions with
one minor exception. It was pointed
out that the $270,000 grant from the
government would not only amortize
the total cost of the old high school
building if that were abandoned but
also add a gift of $100,000.
Both proposals as to the high
school site for an armory location
and dependent upon the various
contingencies, first that the armory
proposition goes over, second that
the school bond issue goes over, and
third that PWA money Is forthcom
ing in both Instances. Then would
come the matter of an agreement as
to the price of- the site between
those Interested.

FILTERS CLEAR
PLAY GROUNDS
MURKY WATER
Installation of filters at the din
ger playground pool has transform
ed the waters from a murky solution
to one of almost crystalline clear
ness, an inspection of the tank re
vealed this morning. Prior to the in
stallation of the filters, it had been
impossible for the life guards to see
a body a short distance below the
surface of the water. Now, a dull
penny, lying on the bottom at the
deep end of the pool is clearly vis
ible. Had It not been for. the trip to
and from the bathhouse, swimmers
would have had little use for suits,
since visibility while in the water
was almost nil.
Water from Mill creek, which
flows near the pool is utilized in the
tank, and other than being treated
with chlorine, there was no way by
which 'the water could be cleared
prior to Installation of the filters.
Changing of the water twice a week
was found necessary and even then
visibility was almost at the vanish
ing point. Passage of the water thru
the filters removes all sediment and
as a result changes will be less fre
quent. Back washing through the
filters wit keep the sand in excel
lent condition, it Is said.
Vern Gllmore, superintendent of
recreation who declared "we have
been mighty fortunate in keeping
accidents down to a minimum," ex
pressed himself as extremely pleas
ed at the transformation brought
about by the filters, he predicting
that two life guards would be en
tirely adequate as against four at
present.
Plans for seeding down a large
portion of the south and of Olinger
field and installation of a sprinkling
system as a PWA project are being
worked out and it Is expected next
year will, find the playground cov
ered with grass instead of dust which
now prevails.
Out at Leslie, where the filters are
expected to be put in operation to
morrow, and where water has been
pumped in from the c'ty mains, the
change will mean a considerable re
duction in the water bill. Water for
Leslie pool has cost the playground
board approximately $600 a year.
Both playgrounds have been de
veloped by the Salem school board
In cooperation with the federal re
lief program.
SERA WORK AT
END SAYS NILES
Work relief under the jurisdiction
of SERA has apparently come to an
end, temporarily at least, in the
opinion of Glenn C. Niles, county
administrator, who stated today
that he had received no information
from higher tips which would indi
cate a continuance of this form of
assistance to relief families'. The
original plan provided for shutting
down of SERA work relief July 31.
However, an extension was granted
at the last minute due to the fact
that PWA. scheduled to take care of
the situation, had not become fully
organized at that time. It la entirely
possible that a second postponement
in the time for shutting down on
SERA projects may come at the last
minute.
It was pointed out today, how
ever, that .there is little Ukelihood of
an extensive work relief projects be
ing undertaken at this time because
of the demand for labor on the
part of owners of hop yards, bean
patches and prune orchards. In one
or two instances owners of large
bean plantings have been operating
a truck service between the federal
employment office and the scene of
operations, in order to secure help.
Projects costing in the neighbor
hood of $490,000 have been passed
upon favorably by the local PWA
setup. However, no money has been
allotted for the actual construction
work.

tempted to bar police from the
apartment but later gave them the
name of Miss Doraln.
Police went to Walsh's home
where they found her doubled up in
the doghouse, with the dog on
guard outside.
. She denied she had shot Walsh
but declared she and the liquor
salesman had been married secretly
in Yuma, Ariz., five months ago.
"I went to a show yesterday and
had a dinner appointment with him
but he didn't show up, she told of
ficers. "I then went to his home
and remained there all night,"
Detectives said, however, the ra
diator of her automobile was warm,
indicating she had not been in tv
apartment all , night. They also
claimed all the guests identified her

detectives reported they found i
note written on the flyleaf of the
church ritual book, "Key to 'Hea

DISCONTENTED
COLONISTS TO
RETURN HOME
Seward. Alaska, Aug. 31 (IP) Fresh
charges of inefficient and extrava
gance in the operation of the gov
ernment's agricultural colony in the
Matanuska valley were made today
by a group of disgruntled settlers
awaiting return to the United States.
Camped In a railroad car because
they lacked funds for hotel accom
modations, the five families who left
the valley this week reported that
there were "too many bosses" seeking
to direct establishment of homes and
farms in the settlement 150 miles
north of Seward.
Joseph Hoffman, deputy U. S.
marshal who accompanied the
group to Seward, disagreed with
McCormick and the others. Hoff
man said that the confusion had
been adjusted and that the man
agers of the colony deserved com
mendation. Of the 200 families, numbering
about 1,000 persons, who originally
went to the Matanuska under new
deal auspices, 171 families now re
main. Desertion began a month
after the colony was established In
mid-May.

NEW TITLE FOR
FISH BILL ASKED
A new voting machine ballot title
for the proposed initiative bill to
reopen the Rogue river to commer
cial fishing will be written if attor
neys for sportsmen and commercial
fishermen agree, Attorney-General
Van Winkle said today.
Southern Oregon sportsmen ob
jeeted to the ballot title, which In
ferred the bill was to "restrict fish
ing to angling, except for salmon
and sturgeon in limited areas dur
ing the spring season with drift nets
havin 8i-inch mesh."
The sportsmen said the ballot
title should have been worded: "To
rc-open the Rogue to commercial
fishing.'
Van Winkle said only the short,
voting machine title never used
but required by law had been
printed by newspapers and conveyed
the wrong impression.
Sportsmen countered again with
mi objection that the first part ot
the regular printed ballot title waa
as misleading as the voting machine
text,
The printed title starts:
"Initiative bill regulating fishing
in the Rogue river. Purpose; Regu
lating fishing in Rogue river and
tributaries; prohibiting all fishing
there except angling or with drift
nets having mesh not under B
inches ..."
Van Winkle said the regular bal
lot title was not, in his own mind,
misleading.
