The Washington legislature in its 1845 session passed a law providing for ab sentee balloting for legal resident-owners not able to reach the regular polling places. Contracts Involved The ballots call for a decision on whether the owners should enter into contracts with the government to pay their share of the estimated $280,000,000 needed to complete the project. Sale of power generated at Grand Coulee dam, which also impounds the water to be used for irrigation, is expected to pay about three-fourths of the cost. Frank A. Banks, regional di rector of the bureau of rec lamation, said cost to landown ers would not exceed an average of $85 per acre, to be paid on an interest-free basis over 40 years and with payments de ferred for the first 10 years. The project called for irri gation of 1,029,000 "acres, but banks said pre-election, with drawals by wheat ranchers might approach 300,000 acres. The Job of carrying water to the thirsty basin would neces sitate the building of nearly 500 miles of main canals and laterals and 3500 miles of smaller canals: construction of four huge dams, one of them 15,000 feet long; the boring of four tunnels aggregating four and a half miles in length; the laying of approximately 2,500, 000 cubic yards of concrete enough to build 800 miles of standard highway.

Loomis commanded three battalions of riflemen in less than 20 days, taking command of each at a critical stage of the battle. On July 9, 1944, he led a company under heavy fire and located German machine gun positions which were taking a heavy toll of American lives. He crawled within 30 yards of a gun and directed grenade throwers who knocked it out. Then he moved to another and accurate gunfire wiped out its crew. Two days later. In charge of a second battalion, tht colonel Central Valley Cities on Proposed New Air Routes Salem and other cities in the Central Willamette valley will be the routes of two new air lines coming into Oregon for stop or pick-up service, if the civil aeronautics board approves its examiner s r e c o m mendalion.

Southwest planes would be equipped to pick up and deliver mail at smaller cities without landing. Three-Year Certificate The routes, termed tempor ary, would be certified for a three-year period.

Germans Scout Hitler Escape Kiel, July 21 (U.R) High Ger man naval officials say Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun definitely could not have escaped to Ar gentina aboard the recently in terned U-boat 530. Vice Admiral Eberhard Godt, chief executive staff officer of Germany's U-boat fleet under Grand Admiral Karo Doenitz, said yesterday that the U-530 "went to sea from Kiel or a Norwegian post but probabl.it i from Kiel on March 3. P Hitler was known to have been still in Germany later than that. British intelligence officers said they were "99 percent" sat isfied that Hitler and his girl friend did not escape by sea and that Adolf died in Berlin. Godt said the U-530 was never ear-marked for any spe cial Hitler mission. He said, as far as he knew, there had never been any submarine plans for Hitler's escape. Vice Admiral Helmuth Meye, one of Germany's greatest naval intelligence chiefs, said: "I believed that Hitler died in the Berlin chancellery. It is impossible for a man like Hit ler to live as an unknown Mr. X. If he did not die in Berlin it would be impossible for me and Doenitz not to know about it." Woodburn Dr G. Herbert Smith, president of Willamette University, was the guest speak er at the Woodburn Rotary club Thursday noon. His subject was ' Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" and his talk dealt wtih the post war unemployment problem. Visitors were Ro tarian Charles Fowler of Sa- I lem. A.
