Eyre House Moved to New Location David Eyre's home,
formerly located on Summer street where the state will soon
construct a new office building for the highway depart
ment, has been bisected and one section is shown in the process
of being removed to a new location at Mission and High
streets. H. Henkel & Son, Portland movers, report the sec
tion rapidly transported to the new site on three dollies
weighs about 30 tons. The remaining section will be moved
in a few days. Harry Dorman purchased the house and it is
the only one of many on the block to be moved.
Ask Express
Rate Increase
George H. Flagg, public utili
ties commission of Oregon, has
refused to grant a proposed 10
percent increase in certain Rail
way Express rates until the ship
pers of the commodities (most
agricultural) affected thereby
can give testimony as to the pos
sible effects of such an increase.
While this increase would not
apply to the small package ex
press shipments normally made
by private shippers under so
called "class" rates, it would ap
ply to commercial shipments in
Oregon of a variety of commod
ities, including the following:
fish, fruits, vegetables and nuts,
butter, eggs and cheese, fresh
meats and poultry, bakery goods,
beer and non-alcoholic bever
ages. A hearing will be held in the
conference room of the Salem
city hall on Friday, October 7,
at 10:00 a.m. in order that all
interested parties may be heard.
Seeking Maid Who
Left With Cosmetics
Salem detectives Tuesday
were seeking a domestic em
ploye of a Kingwood area home
who deserted her position and
care of a child, leaving only a
vague note behind and taking
clothing and a cosmetic case
valued at $50.
The report of the disappear
ance of the girl, identified as
Dorothy Goodner, was made by
Dr. H. S. Gilbert, of route 8.
She was described as 23 years
old, five feet, one inch tall and
weighing 1ZU pounds. It was
reported she usually wore a
quantity of makeup. Slight in
formation was available con
cerning her family.
The note she left behind said
she was leaving the state with
"a friend."

Parents Face
Half a dozen or more sets of
Marion county parents face pos
sible indictment at a specially
called session of the grand jury
Wednesday for allowing their
minor offspring to run at large
unattended between midnight
and morning indulging in moral
offenses.
If indictments are returned
the parents will be charged with
contributing to the delinquency
of minors which, while not like
ly, might attain the measure of
a penitentiary offense.
The grand Jury at its last ses
sion was shown records in at
least half a dozen of such cases
where children 13. or 14 years
of age seemed to have run wild
with no parental control be
tween midnight and morning
with a result they became in
volved in trouble and wards of
the juvenile court. The jurors
expressed an interest in the sit
uation and the special session
suggested to deal with the sit
uation from the parental angle.
Virtually every one of these
cases could have been avoided
with a reasonable amount of
parental control and discipline,
stated District Attorney Ed
Stadter in commenting on the
jury call.
"Too many parents are as
suming the lackadaisical atti
tude that they expect public of
ficials to look after their chil
dren and see they do not go
astray. The idea may seem old
fashioned but it is still preva
lent in certain circles that chil
dren of that age should be at
home in bed at a reasonable
hour and where their parents
know what they are doing. If
the parents cannot look after
their children It is possible the
law will look after the parents.'

Coastal Towns
(Continued from Page 1)
A grass fire swept into the
town. Foresters were fearful
too, that the McMinnville area
fire may become worse. This
fire zone was southwest of th
200,000 acre Tillamook burn
area which was gutted In the
1930's of virgin forests in the
worst forestry disaster of Ore
gon history.
Some Homes Destroyed
The coast fire had scorched 2,-
uuu acres yesterday. The Mc
Minnville zones added up to over
1.000 acres. In southwest Wash
ington, the Pinchot National
forest had a 1,500 acre timber
fire. South of Grand Ronde,
ure., some a.uoo acres were
burning.
One farm home was destroyed
yesterday, but McMinnville
firemen saved 14 others in the
Pea Vinee canyon sector. Re
ports there said the firea along
the mountains last night made
the countryside look like a vast
camp ground. In another small
fire east of Portland a barn was
leveled.
Scores of scattered fires of a
few acres to several hundred
were being worked.
Federal Regional Forester
Guy Johnson said they broke
out so rapidly yesterday he had
lost count. There were several

The Pinchot forest had burned
up to 1.500 acres by midnight

No Columbus Holiday
State Treasurer Walter Pear
son protested against the clos
ing of the Salem liquor store
on Salem day of the state fair
when other departments were
required to remain open. His
protest was made when Roy
Mills informed the board that
the legislature had removed Co
lumbus day from the list 'of le
gal holidays In Oregon.
I feel that it was absolutely
unfair to state employes for one
department to close down when
others remained open and I
want to be assured that the state
liquor store here in Salem is not
closed on Columbus day," Pear
son said.
'It won't be," Gov. McKay
said laconically.
