Residents to Vote
On Wafer Extension
Proposal for extension of Salem
city water mains Into the Salem
Heights district has reached a stage
where petitions sufficiently signed
have been prepared and the county
clerk under the law is to call a
special election to pass on the
question within from 30 to 50 days.
The petitions call for service to
about 150 residents along part of
Iowa, Hanson, Salem Heights, Rat
cliffe, Vista and Falrview, avenues
with the Summer street extension
the eastern boundary of the dis
trict. Among those backing the
plan were Walter A. Barkus, C. A.
DuRette, Dr. F. M. Erickson, Paul
Orlebenow, Dr. D. D. Craig, George
Averett and O. Waddle.
A number of meetings have been
held on the subject in the Salem
Heights section and the first pro
posal was for an area about five
times larger than that covered In
the completed petitions. The dis
trict as now proposed starts three
blocks south of the Salem city lim
its. It will be known as the Vista
Heights water district.

on the first anniversary of its
opening.
Yeater and Rush
In New Location
Removal to new and enlarged
quarters at 255 N. Liberty is the way
Yeater & Rush company, operated
by Douglas Yeater and "Bill" Rush,
marks its first anniversary. The firm
is dealer for Westlnghouse products
for this community. The favorable
outlook for the major appliance
business in 1039 and the need for
greater storage space which would
allow larger purchases at savings to
be passed on to customers, were cited
by the firm as reasons for moving
from the original Commercial street
location.
A long-term financing arrange
ment with Electric Home and Farm
authority, making possible monthly
payments low enough for the aver
age worker to have a complete elec
tric home with up to four years In
which to pay, will be a contributing
factor in 1S39 sales, Yeater and
Rush predicted.
Carload of Ranges Sold
An outstanding accomplishment
of the firm in Its first year In busi
ness was purchase and sale within
90 days of the first Olid carload
of ranges ever shipped into Salem.
This record received widespread re
cognition with more than a page
write-up in a trade magazine of the
electrical industry, "Electric West."
Yeater and Rush recently re
turned from Portland where they
witnessed a preview of the 1939
Westlnehouse line. Outstanding fea
ture of the new refrigerator, they
pointed out, is the "True Temp"
control, an exclusive Westlnghouse
feature which guarantees a positive
degree of temperature inside the re
frigerator regardless of outside room
temperature. The new "meatkeeper"
standard on all models, designed to
keep meat without dehydration, also
attracted interest at the preview,
they reported.
Both Yeater and Rush had con
siderable experience In the major
appliance field before embarking on
an independent enterprise of their
own just a year ago. Yeater 'a ex
perience dates back to nine years;
Rush's for five.
Redwood Tree
Will Be Lighted
On account of sentiment on the
part of t good many Salem residents
the redwood tree In 8ummer street,
where It obstructs traffic and vision,
will not be removed, but a protec
tive light will be placed on the tree
instead.
The street committee reported to
the council that while the tree
ought to be taken out of the street
there was so much sentiment
against It that the light was recom
mended. The report was adopted.

Murdered Three
Claud and Elmer Tenison told
state parole otflcen yesterday they
killed a fattier and Ms two sons
near Perryton, Texas, (even yean
ago.
The two men, serving IS years
each In the Oregon penitentiary (or
bank robbery, repeated confessions
made 2i yean ago which at that
time were discredited by Perryton
authorities who regarded the con
fesslons as a hoax.
Saturday the bones of a child
were found on a Panhandle ranch
causing the Perryton officials to
attach greater credulity to the Ore
gon confessions. The Investigation
was reopened. The two brothers
were questioned again and repeated
the story.
Claud, 40, and Elmer, 42, said J
M. Cone agreed to pay them 11,000
to murder his two sons, J. M. Cone,
Jr., 10, and Vernon Cone, 6, because
he didn't want to be encumbered
with them when he "ran off with
another woman."
They said the father paid them
only $250 so Claud shot him. They
said each shot one child and buried
them 20 or 25 miles southeast of
Perryton.
Elmer told Gerald Mason and Ce
ell Edwards of the parole board, "I
tried to forget it and I couldn't, so
I told the story and feel better.
Ill have to go back to Texas to
face It sooner or later, so It might
as well be now." Claud refused to
say whether he wanted to return to
Texas.
Edwards and Mason said they
were Inclined to believe the men.
"If they didn't actually commit
the crime they certainly had guilty
knowledge, because their story check
ed on many points," the parole
members said.

iff J. 8. Talley said today the bones
of a child found near here were sent
to Austin headquarters of state po
lice in an effort to ascertain their

Talley said he thought the bones
may be those of J. M. Cone, Jr., 10,
or Vernon Cone, 8, who have been

convicts, Claud and Elmer Tenison.
serving 18 months for robbery, told
parole board members they killed
the boys on promise of $1,000 from
the father. Then, according to their
story, the father was slain because
he did not pay off In full.
A verdict of suicide was returned
in the death of the elder Cone,
May 31, 1932, a day after the boys
had vanished.

Not Responsible
For Turner Road
For the reason that Turner road
from Mission street to the east city
limits was taken over by the county
to be part of the Santlam highway
the city council declined last night
to take over the road and maintain
it. Two weeks ago petitioners asked
the city to see to the oiling of the
road to protect residents against
dust during the summer months.
The committee investigating for
the Cornell found that property
owners had been at an expense of
several hundred dollars In land do
nations and in moving buildings
with the understanding that the
county was to improve the road. The
committee In Its report stated It
would be an injustice to the prop
erty owners for the city to take back
the road for the reason that proper
ty owners would then have to bear
the cost of street improvements.

Senate Rejects
Abolition of
Death Penalty
A proposed constitutional amend
ment to abolish capital punishment
in Oregon waa rejected by the sen
ate yesterday, 17-10. The house
passed a bill to tax motorists to de
fray hospital costs of Indigent traf
fic victims. The senate again refused
to pass a bill to increase the state
labor commissioner's salary from
13,600 to $4,200 a year. The vote was
14-14.
The bill authorizing the fish com'
mission to regulate commercial fish
ing near Bonneville dam will reach
the senate floor this week on a di
vided report. Most members of the
senate fishing Industries commit
tee recommended against it.
The committee also recommended
against three other bills giving the
commission the right to regulate the
commercial season on the Columbia
river, granting similar powers on all
other streams, and limiting commer
cial fishermen to the use of drift
nets on the Columbia.
A favorable recommendation was
given a bill exempting treaty-right
Indians from the licensing provis
ions of the commercial fish code.
A bill to require all notaries pub
lic, except attorneys, to take an ex
amination was sent back to the
house revision of laws committee al
though it had been defeated pre
viously. Gov. Sprague vetoed a bill allow

providing equal representation of

also signed a bill allowing counties
to levy taxes five years In advance
for the construction of a courthouse
and other public projects.
Public Buildings
Measure Signed
Counties which have been unsuc
cessful In their attempts to finance
new courthouses could take renewed
hope when Governor Charles A.
Sprague signed a bill to permit
counties to levy taxes for five yean
In advance for construction and
maintenance of public buildings.
Counties still would have to wait
until the money la raised before
starting construction, but under pre
sent law, they may levy for only a
year at a time. The new law also
would permit counties to avoid fi
nance charges on bond Issues,

McKay (R., Salem) and Rep. Burt
K. Snyder (R Lakevlew).
Capital Punishment
Measure Killed
The senate killed 18 to 10 Monday
a proposed constitutional amend
ment which would abolish capital
punishment.
Sen. Ashby Dickson (D-Portland)
said the measure was "the most
important measure presented to the
senate: Who has a right to take
a life on the theory of protection
to society? Why not let people ex
press themselves at the next elec

METALS CORRODE
HUMAN BEINGS DIE
Metals which quickly corrode and wear out when exposed to the
elements can be made to last many years under identical conditions
by the simple process of galvanizing.
Human beings who would fall an easy prey to many dangerous
diseases are made immune by simple treatments which can be ad
ministered by every physician.
The smallpox danger is eliminated by vaccination. Typhoid fe
ver, tetanus, rabies, diphtheria and other such things which were
formerly deadly or extremely dangerous are now preventable or
their attacks are made far less fearsome by preventive medicine.
It Is Impossible even to surmise how tremendously human life
would be conserved if everyone would make It a policy to get the
physician's attention as soon as approaching illness Is even sus
pected. The druggist plays a part In the conservation of human life In
exact proportion to the kind of prescription department he main
tains. Ours is the kind which is kept prepared at all times to ren
der real service.
