Break Power
Portland, Ore., April 19 U.R
The federal bureau of investiga
tion Friday was probing a break
in a transmission line near Al
bany, Ore., which interrupted
Bonneville power administra
tion service to the central Lin
coln people's utility district,
BPA officials said here.
S. E. Schultz, chief engineer
for BPA, reported that two
strings of insulators apparently
had been shot away, from the
pole by rifle fire.
Service was interrupted at
noon after the break caused a
fire which burned down a pole
on the 115,000-volt line.
The FBI was asked to investi
gate, officials said, because such
a major interruption causes con
siderable loss to the government.

SECOND FLOOR
East Salem Section Booming
With Little Grain Planted
East Salem, April 19 On a trip through the suburban districts
to the east of Salem one will see how the suburban communities
are changing as such communities do with the rapid growth of a
city. The first checkup of East
Salem communities for a report
on what is being planted on acre
ages was made this week by the
reporter.
This year for the first time
one will see very little grain
within a three or four mile lim
it of the city boundaries. So
many building projects have
been started and although some
of these projects have only one
or two houses built at this time
the land has been marked off
and will not be plowed up.
There are few new orchards but
on the acreages left for plant
ing it is strawberries or cane
berries this year.
In Swegle community, which
has had very few large straw
berry patches for years, Ralph
Becker and Roy Ward have put
out several thousand plants thi
spring and Wards have also in
creased their cane berry acre
age. The E. A. Terrill acreage on
Fisher Road has two new acre
ages of cane berries and it is
the same in all the other com
munities. Farther out there will
be grain and Dan Stauffer is one
farmer who plans on grain for
a few years. He has just com
pleted a large implement shed
and warehouse, 32 by 70 feet. It
is made of the new aluminum
