REFERENDUM ON DOCK CONTRACT fBy United Preai) Pacific coast seamen were report ed 'today to be preparing to ballot on the question of renewing their present agreement with steamship operators, thereby dropping their demands for changes In the con tract and eliminating a source of many disputes. 'The proposed referendum would be held tinder the auspices of the maritime federation of the Pacific. The S. S. Admiral Senn Is tied up In Oakland by the demand of the seamen for cash compensation in stead of time off for overtime work The demand formed part of the schedule of changes the seamen's affiliated unions proposed and operators rejected. The same ques tion temporarily held two Dollar liners In port In San Francisco last week. A new source of trouble was brewing in the Pacific northwest, where longshoremen have declared! an embargo on the products of the Fisher flouring mills of Seattle. The embargo was effective In Seattle, Tacoma and- Portland and was based on a strike at the Fisher mills. Seattle longshoremen will an nounce Tuesday whether they will continue the boycott.

E. Barrick. one of the 90.000 odd spectators who saw the battle in Yankee stadium, who returned to Salem late Saturday after a trip of some 8000 miles by automobile. Dr. Barrick, accompanied by his wife, spent five weeks on the trip which carried him to the Atlantic seaboard. Louis possesses all of the skill, punching power and ring gen eralship credited to him by the sport writers, Dr. Barrick declares. The spectacle of the huge throng which jammed the stadium was well worth the price of admission, with out the fight thrown in, the re turned traveler states. He was for tunate in securing a scat In the right field stands where he had good view of the ring which was pitched over second base.

Official spokesmen hesitate to es timate the total Ethiopian strength before them, but believe it may reach from 30,000 to 40,000 men, However, they say, the Ethiopians may be able to muster 100,000 men In all on the whole northern front from the Sudan to the Red Sea. Actually the Italian northern army Is occupying a front of only about 37 miles from east to west. It has met with almost no resistance since the campaign started Oct. 10. The principal activity at the mo ment Is the continuous consolidation of the position advancing supplies for the next stage, extending and widening roads. Even with the roads Improved for transport of supplies it is far from plain sailing. For example the road from Eritrea to Adigrat has 1.500 sharp curves, many on the edge of precipices.

(Associated Press Photo) WANTPENSIONS LEFT TO STATE The Marion county legislative de legation will be contacted by County Commissioner Roy Melson as to car rying out with its favorable backing the proposed social security program as approved by a committee in Port land recently. Melson is a member of the committee representing the state association of county judges and commissioners. Others meeting with that committee included repre sentatives of the state relief com mittee, lederal agencies, slate plan ning board and legislative Interim committee. The commtitee recommended that the old age pension obligation be placed wholly on the state and that the state join equally with the coun ties In bearing the relief and indig ent burden if the financial problem can be solved by using the excess of state receipts over anticipations. The committee report states that if the recommendations are followed it will not affect budgets now being pre pared due to the fact that no federal funds have been appropriated for pension purposes as yet. The coun ties feel the plan will make a more equitable distribution of pension and relief burdens states the report, and will simplify administration as well as reduce county expense. Every county court is asked to contact their local legislative delegations for favorable consideration of the plan. U. O. Allen, Yamhill county com missioner and secretary of the state association, is sending out copies of the report to various courts over the state. BOY, 10, DROWNED NEAR VANCOUVER Vancouver, Wash., Oct. 21 (IP)- Allen Dewey, 10, was drowned In the Columbia river early Sunday after he and a companion, Arthur Ash field, 11. had been stranded on a barge all night. The boys climbed on a log which led to the barge Saturday after noon. Soon after they went aboard the tide changed and the barge was swung on Its cable out into the riv er and away from the log. They spent the night on the barge and when daylight came and the tide swept the barge back to the log, Allen started to climb out on the log. A riverman saw him and shouted to the lad to wait on the barge until a boat could be put out but the boy went ahead. He slipped from the log and sank immediately. Arthur was taken ashore in the boat.

Lockwood In removing the charter from the frame and retracing the names which had be come faded with age. Mrs. Eva Mar tin, corps president, accepted the charter in the name of the WRC.

SEEK REPOSSSSION OF TRADE STREET The city authorities are now ne gotiating with the Oregon Pulp & Paper company for repossession of Trade street between Commercial and Ferry, in the hope that an auto- nobile parking nuisance can be elim inated. Several years ago tho city vacated the street, except a 20-foot strip, In favor of the paper company so the latter could build on the ground. But the company has never put up an additional building on the street. Instead the space is used by com pany employes for automobile park ing without limitation, and while It creates a serious traffic problem the city can do nothing about It. The cars even Infringe on the city's 20- foot portion of the street, officials say. SEEK LIMITATIONS OF SERVICE DRIVES Efforts will be renewed at the city council meeting tonight to limit the width of driveways entering mo tor vehicle service stations. An or dinance bill will be introduced to cut them down to about 20 feet. It is not probable that any attempt will be made to put the bill through all three readings and on final pas sage, because of previous defeat: that this legislation has met in the city council. The measure will have retroactive provisions. Stations occupying hal: a block would, by the provisions of the bill be allowed two 20-foot driveways on each street abutting the station. Those of less than half a block could have only one. An ordinance bin offering a gas heating code, to govern the Installa tion of gas heating equipment, will probably be up for third reading. With most highly controversial Issues that have been before the council for several weeks now out of the way it Is not probable that tonight's session will be unusually spirited. RAIN RECORD IN HAWAII Honolulu LP) Mount Waialeale on the Island of Kauai Is generally rec ognized as the wettest spot in the world. The last reading showed a fall of 495 inches in one year, five days. Rev. E. H. Blackwood-Price's cross bred ewe recently gave birth to two healthy fa nibs at Saintfleld, Ireland.

IT BrxV MeMINNVllLK jf ,;, O lillr 1 v V X, lAtrs'ct mine Portland-Salem Route Would be Shorter by Wilsonville Highway The possibility of a short cut to Salem through Wilson ville, saving about three and one-half miles in the distance between Portland and the capital city has been brought out mm .iib upen lur me iirsr, time in. an article by R. H. Baldock, state highway engineer, appearing in the October issue ol the Oregon Motor ist. This new route would bo out Bar bur boulevard, across Willamette river at the site ol the present Wil sonville ferry and connecting with the East Side pacific highway at Aurora, No indication was given as to cost of this possible project. Mr. Baldock's statement was made in an article discussing Bar bur voulevard which route, he said, "15 now and will continue to dc one pf the main traveled roads in the state of Oregon. "It carries the confluent traffic of the West Side Pacific highway, serving valley points to the south, as well as the important coast con nections via the Salmon River highway and the northerly Tilla mook branch. "In addition to the area now served by this route, it U probable that an alternate location for the East Side Pacific highway will be extended north from Aurora, cross ing the Willamette river at Wilson YES SIR! BELIEVE ME-I WANT THE CAPITAL JOURNAL "That paper gives me ALL the news, why they have both the United Press and the Associated Press dis patches and I understand most papers only have one of them. Guess that's why they can just pick out the CREAM of the NEWS and not fill up the paper with skimmed milk. Guess it costs them a little more money but those fellows that run the Capital Journal have found out that news, and lots of it, is what we farmers want. For instance, you couldn't trade me out of that market page in my paper for any amount if I couldn't get another there's real money for me on that page. Ma likes the stories and the local news page most, that is, most flfter our own community news, she says she knows more about whats going on around here now than she used to when she had to spend so much time on the telephone. You could't buy my Capital Journal for any amount of money if I couldn't get another "You'd just as well have the cream, too." BARGAIN PRICE During October P By Mail Only In Marlon, . Polk, V.mhill, Btnlon, Unn and Clack.mu Connllw ville, and connecting with the rourtn street extension near the nauunoman county line. "This probable relocation would provide a saving of approximately 3W miles In distanct between Salem and Portland, and would result in combining a major portion of the East Side Pacific highway traffic with that of the West Side highway to be borne by the new Fourth street route. "Considering these probable high way connections and the material growth In population expected within and near the metropolitan area of Portland, a conservative forecast would estimate motor vein. cle traffic to reach a figure of 20, 000 vehicles per day on this section within the next ten years. A super highway of this type would even be capable of carrying as high as Ro ¬ om) cars per day, provided no con gestion occurred at the feeder ends. "The development of wide arter ial highway entrances to the citv of Portland through the suburban districts is necessary to prevent congestion and expedite the move. DICKSON CASE TO COMMITTEE The main point at issue In the organization of the stale senate for the special session the seating con troversy between Af.1) by Dickson and Nate Boody of Multnomah county was relegated to a credentials coin mittce of five by 28 mwubers of the upper house- meeting in a pre-ses- sion caucus last night. , Dickson was ruled ineligible to hold his scat In the senate by At torney General i, H. Van Winkle after he had acaeptcd a position as federal attorney unccr the AAA which was recently ruied Ineligible by the supreme court Boody was named by the Multnomah county court to take Dickson's place. Discussing the question of acting only on emergency legislation and to end the session in the shortest pos sible time, the members In caucus adopted a resolution authorizing each committee to take upon itself , the burden of acting at an Individ ual steering committer to weed out minor bills. It was voted unanimous ly to retain all rules and commit tees of the regular session. All elective officers were retained with the exception of reading clerk and doorkeeper. Elbert Bcdc, veteran reading clerk of the past house ses sions was elected In place of Mark Woodruff who was unable to attend the session, and Bart ram Lough Hn was chosen in place of James Kyle ns doorkeeper. Senators Zimmerman and Stclwcr were not present at the caucus meet ing. STARTS FROM BOTTOM " Marysville, Kan.
