The Abiqua apparently has been flooding more territory than either Pudding river or Butte Creek. All low places on dirt roads connecting the Marquam and Mt. Angel highways are flooded. Along the main course of Pudding river the lowlands are covered and the roads covered with several in ches of water. From the E. G. Wles ner farm near North Howell thous ands of acres of land are inundated. Butte Creek flat, on which the Roy Morley 100-acre walnut orchard is located, was under water this morning.

The creek is bank full and slowly rising. With Pudding river rising during the night it was expected by noon today that the Salem-Sllverton highway near the Harding farm would be tinder six or seven feet of water today. Government engineers turned out a crew of men Saturday afternoon to make further repairs to the revet ment work on the river below In dependence. Sandbags were used to reinforce places weakened by the recent high. water as a precaution ary masure. .

Though water is flowing over the highway at Valley Junction and between For est Grove and Gaston, traffic Is go ing through. Slides have necessitated one-way traffic on the lower, Col umbia river highway. Through the efforts of three high way crews, the Salmon river high way is being kept open. Use of the airport route on the Salem-Turner road Is Inadvisable due to water conditions.

(Adv.) FEETHURT? Vra Need HEALTH SPOT SHOES Paris SHOE SERVICE 115 North Hlfjh Street V- a 1- V 94 STEAMERS 94 YEARS LOST PEACOCK SPIT Astoria, Ore., Jan. 13 (ff) The wreck of the freighter Iowa brought to 94 the number of steamers that have run into disaster on Peacock spit since a shipwreck first gave It its name. The treacherous shoal was named after the government sloop Peacock which went aground there in 1841 94 years ago. The shallow waters lie on the Washington side near the mouth of the Columbia river, where violent such size they smash huge ships as southeast storms sweep unbroken across the river. The breakers reach a child breaks a toy. Peacock spit's greatest tragedy was in 1852 when the General Warren was shattered and 40 persons drown ed. In 1913 the Rosecrans foundered with the loss of 33 lives. More recent tragedies had been less disastrous. Four seamen were killed when the Norwegian motor ship Child grounded May 4, 1934. One seaman died and five were in jured June 17, 1929, when the frei ghter Laurel broke in two. Vigilance of the coast guard has saved hundreds of lives February 15, 1930, the Admiral Benson was driv en ashore. Waves broke across the ship's deck but the 104 persons aboard were saved. Nine big steamers have been stranded on the spit in the last six years. WOMEN POETS NOT CONCERNED IN LOVE New York, Jan. 13 (P) Cupid took a staggering blow on the jaw today from America's women poets in Leap Year, of all times. Of 1,652 poems in the "Contem porary Women Poets" anthology just published, only 82 deal primar ily with love the sweet mystery of life or what have you, which makes the world go 'round. Instead, many of the 1,311 women represented wrote about such work aday subjects as the drought In Ar kansas. One lyric is sub-titled, "A Rhyme of the Relief Administra tion," and another' tells what its author hopes to accomplish by her vote. A poem which seemed on first glance to be about the tender emo tion which "all the world Is seek ing" turned out to be about a loon flying across a lake. TAX STATEMENTS READY FEB'Y 13 L. E.

This year the statements will con tain notices of all tax delinquencies against the taxpayeis properties.

JAPAN PLANS TO LEAVE PARLEY (Copyrliht, 103. t United Prua) London, Jan. 13 (IB Naval limi tation negotiations entered a deli cate, dangerous phase today that may determine definitely whether there is going to be competition in building, adding scores of mil lions of dollars to tax schedules in the United States, Great Britain and Japan. Japanese delegates had a series ot fresh instructions from Tokyo, the result of an emergency cabinet meeting. Delegates of other powers Anierl ca, Britain, France and Italy ex pressed hope that the instructions would deter the Japanese from withdrawing, as they threaten, un less their demand for equality of strength with America and Britain is conceded. But Japanese delegates told the United Press that they believed their departure was Inevitable. A Japanese spokesman intimated that if Japan's demand for equality were rejected Admiral Osaml Na gano, chief delegate, would: 1. Propose again the abolition of so-called offensive warships, namely, battleships, aircraft carriers and heavy cruisers. 3. Urge a five-power declaration expressing a desire to avoid a naval race; and 3. On these two peaceful notes quit the conference in the friendliest possible manner.

THE LAST ROUND-UP! 4 RAIN SLOWS UP OPERATIONS IN ETHIOPIA AREA (Copyright, 1930, by United Pren) Addis Ababa, Jan. 13 (LP) Rain, cascading ceaselessly into valleys and gorges, saturating the southern and eastern plains and turning roads into virtual quagmires. Is im peding movement of everything but mules and has halted motor opera tlons in most parts of Ethiopia, re ports from all fronts said today. A drizzle has even reached Addis Ababa, the western limit of the sea sonal "little" rains which have ar rived three weeks early. It Is Indicated that conflict on any scale must be at a standstill for at least six weeks. These little rains are the forerun ners of the summet downpours which keep the entire nation con fined to local districts. The road between Addis Ababa, and. De-ssye the one good road In the country, extending northward to Lake Aschangi, already is nearly impassable. Where formerly it was possible to make the journey to Dessye In 18 hours by truck it now takes six days. Observers believe that movements for the next month will be extreme ly slow and most limited. They see the Ethiopians with the advantage in not being encumbeied by trucks, tanks or other heavy equipment. Thus they will be able to take the offensive on a limited scale, while the Italians, it Is believed, wDl be inability to move. forced on the defensive because Of It is believed also that tri rains are likely to cause lessening of air plane activity as fields become bog ged and clouds shroud terrible mountains.
