nnmnrntnisp Mnrlp With J V AAAAC V A ' AMU ? f 1 VIA miner aireei Kesiaents The city council Monday night made a compromise with resi dents of Miller street west of South Commercial, who objected to the dead-ending of Miller in the improvement of South River 'road. The council approved a Train Speed Goes to Parley After an appearance before the city council Monday night by Frank McCulloch and K. K. Schomp, attorney and assistant superintendent, respectively, of the Southern Pacific company, the council tabled pending con ference of several agencies an ordinance bill that would re duce the speed of trains through Salem to 20 and 25 miles. Pre viously a letter had been read from L. P. Hopkins of the com pany asking for the postpone ment. Alderman Albert H. Gille, chairman of the utilities com mittee, who introduced the bill, moved that it be tabled, ex plaining that such a confer ence was what he had been wanting for a long time. Participating in the confer ence, which it is believed will be within 30 days, will be repre sentatives of the Southern Paci fic, the city council, the public utilities commission, the state Jjighway commission, and the city long-range planning com mission. McCulloch said the company had received from the city first a request for wigwag signals on D and Court streets, imme diately afterward a request for the same kind of signals at four other crossings, then notice of the ordinance under considera tion, and a letter from the state public utilities commission ask ing that it increase speed on one line, and that on State street it was subject also to the state highway commission. Efforts to reduce train speed and install safety signals at the same time are not consistent, McCulloch said, "and since," he added, "the signals cost from $3000 to $4000 each, it is a mat ter of some moment." McCulloch said he realized the movement to reduce speed grew out of the accident on Madison street in September in which three young men lost their lives. But he said train speed waj not an element in the accident, and that at a dis tance of 100 feet from the track there was a clear view of 900 feet in both directions. recommendation of the street committee which will leave the street open at South River road but only for right turns from the latter. It will not permit left turns from Miller into South River road. Theer were two arguments against left turns. One was that South River road will be a heavy traffic artery, and the other, related to it, that a high cliff on the east side of South River road obstructs the view from Miller. The improvement, now under way, moves the main traffic artery from Miller to Owens in traffic movement to South Riv er road from South Commer cial. Because of that the coun cil two weeks ago approved making Owens instead of Mil ler a through street. A petition was received from Owens street residents protesting that it be a through street. The street committee recommended rejec tion of this petition because the work is too far advanced to rescind the action. The council approved the report.

Before the president issued his order earlier in the fall the en gineers had planned approxi mately $12,000,000 on rivers and harbors and flood control work in the stale during the fiscal year ending next June 30 Cordon said in a statement today he is studying the situa tion to see if anything can be done to get the engineers' ap propriations increased. Of the flood control projects listed for Oregon, the engineers said expenditures limitation "wi41 not permit any construc tion except completion of the existing contract for relocation of the highway, railroad, and waterlines at the Dorena dam and the completion of snagging operation in the Clackamas river and Rogue river." The engineers said the relo cation work at Dorena dam would cost ?1,910,000 and be completed in the fiscal year ending next June 30. The snag ging work will cost $5,000 in the Clackamas river and $25, 000 in the Rogue river. Activi ties on the balance of the flood control projects in Oregon will be limited to "continuation, at a reduced rate of preparation of plans." Cordon was informed the only river and harbor construc tion in the state will be miscel laneous work at Bonneville costing $150,000.

Missing Men Search Goes on (By the Associated Press) Searching parties resumed their quest for two missing men in western Washington moun tains at dawn today while in eastern Washington forest serv ice officials expressed fears for the possible safety of an estimat ed 30 elk hunters trapped in the Blue mountains. The western Washington searches centered in the Amer ican ridge country for Joe Blackburn, commercial packer, missing since last Thursday and in the Queets area of western Jefferson county where Donald Loomis, 37, of Bremerton, has been missing since separated from hunting companions Sun day. In Seattle, Sheriff Harlan S. Callahan detailed Deputy Sher iff Ace Sanderline to the search in the Olympics for Loomis after Special Deputy Norbitt McGor den of Jefferson county said a bloodhound probably would be needed. Searchers feared that Loomis might be injured and unable to walk out of the area inasmuch as the region is laced with rivers and creeks which offer easy access to safety. Snows of Tollgale-Godman region of the Blue mountains were believed to have confined some 15 hunters while a like number were believed tempor arily imprisoned in the Pom-eroy-Mount Misery area where drifts stood five and six feel deep on the road. Safety of the marooned hunt ers was believed by forest offi cials to depend on their having a sufficient quantity of food to last out the snow.
