fore it was necessary to make a
long detour around. While, he
says, the county owns the bridge,
the records are silent as to either
the government or county ever

which it sets. The government
wants it to clear up the title on
proceedings involved.

Paraphrasing the Golden
Rule, Commander Scott of trav
el fame, advised an audience at

of scenic attractions.
Scott, a resident of Califor

said the Pacific coast had every
thing" that a tourist could pos

that the visitor not be gouged
by those who take his money.
The speaker was brought to
Salem by Jim Mount, president
of the Oregon Advertising clubs
of Portland who spoke in the
interest of cooperation between
the various communities in see
ing that the tourist has an op
portunity to visit the entire
state. He said the state had been
lax in this connection.
The luncheon was held in
connection with the weekly

'Daylighting'
Espee Tunnel
"Daylighting"" of 400 feet of
a 700-foot tunnel on the South
ern Pacific line between Corval-
lis and Toledo, made necessary
by rain damage, is under way
with a large battery of heavy
machinery on the job.
This was reported here today
by Lynn F. Cronemlller, assist
ant state forester, who was call
ed to the scene Friday because
five acres of state land lying in
a mountain canyon will be cov
ered by the removal of earth.
The term "daylighting," in the
speech of engineers, means con
version of a tunnel into a cut.
Of the 700-foot tunnel 400 feet
will be changed into a cut over
100 feet deep, leaving a 300-foot
tunnel.
"Because of excess rainfall,"
said Cronemiller, "the tunnel
caved in, breaking down, of
course, the heavy timbers. It
was temporarily shored up so
the line could be used, and also
rail traffic will continue through
the hill while the work is in
progress.
About 200,000 yards of earth
will be removed and dumped on
state land. When it is, by agree
ment with the railroad company,
the state department of forestry
will plant the five acres to trees
at the expense of the Southern
Pacific."
The project has to be complet
ed in the next three months, or
before the next rainy season, the
engineers said.

He said the law will become
effective in the coastal area as
soon as possible.
The recent legislature extend
ed brand inspection to these two
areas, thus making it statewide.
The purpose is to cut down the
number of livestock thefts.
Under brand inspection, all
livestock, except sheep and
hogs, must be acompanied by
transportation or brand inspec
tion certificates when they are
moved on public roads.
The certificates can be ob
tained from state brand inspec
tors, county agents or sheriff's
offices.
Peterson today announced
appointment of the following
brand inspectors for Willam
ette valley points:
Woodburn-M c M 1 n n vllle
Irving Hanger, Woodburn.
Salem Allen Keith, Salem.
Albany George Weber and
D. H. Mains, both of Albany.
$330 Power Tools
Stolen at Buildings
Power tools valued at $330
were looted from two sheds at
construction sites Friday night
at 1020 Oxford street and at
1860 S. Capitol street.
A speedomatic skill saw, val
ued at $125 and a power drill,
valued at $80 were taken from
the S. Capitol street tool shed
while a second speedomatic saw
was taken from the other tool
shed.
In both cases, locks were
clipped away with bolt cutters,
and detectives presumed that
both thefts had been accom
plished by the same criminal in
view of the similarity of the
work and the close location of
the two lootings.

Salem Girl
Musician Hurt
Klamath Falls, May 14 )
A Salem girl, Joyce Jenson, 17,
was injured here last night
when she was struck by an au
tomobile in front of the Klam
ath armory, where state high
school music contestants were
filling cars to be transplanted
to local homes for the night.
She suffered scalp lacerations
and was released from a hos
pital after treatment. Gerrell
Lloyd Butler, 40, driver of the
car, was fined $3 in police court
today for not having an opera
tor's license. He also was given
a suspended sentence for having
inadequate brakes and the Judge
reserved judgment on a charge
of failure to wield right of way
to a pedestrian.
Richard Fanger, Medford, re
ceived several stitches in a fin
ger which he caught in a bus
window while riding to the
Klamath music festival.
Columbia Flood
(Continued from Page 1
Near Oroville, Wash., an
emergency bridge was thrown
across the SImilkameen, a trib
utary of the Okanogan, when
high water made a temporary
bridge built after last year's
floods unsafe.
The Portland weather bureau
calmed fears that the Columbia
would run wild as it did last
year.
Vancouver Crest to be 22 Feet
River forecasters said, at
worst, the Columbia would reach
a crest of 25 feet at Vancouver,
Wash. Even that height was not
expected. They predicted the
big river would rise slowly to a
crest of 22 feet at Vancouver on
Monday. That level Is eight feet
below last year's peak.
An end to the current north
western heat wave was predict
ed by Monday with a mass of
ccol air moving in from the
Pacific ocean. Lower tempera
tures would decrease the run
off from mountain snow fields
and sharply reduce flood dan
ger throughout the region.
With the exception of the mi
nor dike failure near the Can
adian border, levees along the
Kootenai river were holding.
The town of Bonners Ferry, Ida
ho, was gaining added protec
tion as workers increased dike
heights there. The Spokane
weather bureau estimated the
Kootenai would reach 29 feet
at Bonner's Ferry today two
feet below flood stage, but sev
eral feet below the growing dike
tops.
Seepage through a new river
barrier at Orofino let flood water
into a city park and baseball dia
mond. Two lumber mills on the
river were still Idle because of
the high water.
The Snake river rose one foot
at Lewiston, Idaho, yesterday
but no serious damage was ex
pected there. The Clearwater
was falling slightly at Lewiston
late yesterday following cooler
weather in the mountains.
At Richland. Wash., a back
water from the Columbia flowed
into drainage ditches in the
town. Workers pushed a small
dike across of vulnerable point
and put pumps to work spilling
out seepage water.
The upper Columbia reached
22.8 feet at Boundary today, six
feet below flood stage.
Northern Idaho's big Pend
Oreille lake was coming up irad-
ually and would damage some
large shore installations if the
rise continued another five feet

Rice to Attend
Highway Meet
The Marion county court Sat
urday directed County Commis
sioner Roy Rice to attend a ses
sion of the state highway com
mission at Portland next Tues
day when city officials, Cham
ber of Commerce representa
tives and others will be present
to discuss the Baldock plan and
make a report on what the city
has done in regard to it.
County Judge Grant Murphy
said he considered it of import
ance that the county court have
a representative there as it has
several hole cards of interest
in that connection. There is the
matter of the bridge, the matter
of what road will be used as an
entrance to Salem for the North
Santiam highway and probably
foremost the matter of a by-pass
road for the Pacific highway,
all of which are of significance
to the court. In addition, he
considers of prime Importance
the possibility of the plan being
side-tracked and In that event
he says he wants to see that
Marion county gets Is fair share
of state highway money, any
way.
The county court will not be
much in evidence here next
week. Commissioner Ed Rog
ers will leave Monday for North
Bend to remain until Friday and
County Judge Murphy will

Truman Hedges
On Criticism
Washington, May 14 W) Tha
White House said today Presi
dent Truman intended no cri
ticism of house democratic lead
ers in a letter he wrote to a
union leader about recent labor
law compromise proposals in
congress.
House Speaker Raybum (D.,
Tex.), and other administration
supporters last week offered a
compromise house labor bill, in
cluding a number of provisions
similar to those In the adminis
tration - opposed Taf t - Hartley
law. But the bill was defeated.
The president is pledged to
repeal Taft-Hartley. His letter
to A. F. Whitney, president of
the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, read:
"The compromisers got no
where, as I was sure they would
n't, and they never had any con
sideration whatever for me."
Questioned on published re
ports that this was a presidential
spanking of Rayburn, White
House Press Secretary Charles
G. Ross said there were two "ty
pographical errors" in the quoted
sentence.
Ross said he checked the let
ter's text with Mr. Truman and
"No slap at any persons was In
tended." Ross said the sentence
should have read:
"The compromises (instead of
'compromisers') got nowhere, as
I was sure they wouldn't, and
they never had any considera
tion whatever from (instead of
'for') me."

signatures for several months.
The assembly will take up a
broader companion draft treaty
on freedom of information at
its next session opening in Sep
tember, and present both for
signature after the second pact
is completed.
The U. S. had battled sine
drafting of the treaty started at
a 54-nation conference In Ge
neva last year to restrict th
treaty to terms this country
could accept.
Only last night the delegation
won withdrawal of an Indian
Chilean amendment that might
have affected a clause prohibit
ing censorship in peacetime ex
cept for national defense.
Canham said the final version
is acceptable to the government.

Morse said that although many
