fall of rain if the present pace
keeps up. To date, 4.07 inches
have been recorded for this

inches.
Forecast is for occasional rain
tonight and Saturday with

Gale Hampers
(Continued from Page 1)
Better weather was forecast
for tonight and tomorrow, but
today's storm not only bothered
searchers but would be an addi
tional blow to the five missing
men.
They alone were unaccounted
for of the 17 who parachuted
from the ice-coated, blazing
bomber. Eleven men have been
brought here, and another was
recued yesterday.
The Royal Canadian air force
at Vancouver, B.C. asked a para-
rescue team to stand by at Mc-
Chord in case survivors are
sighted in inaccessible country,
None Lost at Sea
Survivors interviewed here
expressed belief the B-36 was
far enough inland when the men
parachuted so none of them
could have come down at sea,
The parachutes and tracks in
the snow were sighted yester
day.
A United States helicopter
spotted the SOS and imprint,
Four parachutes also were lo
cated, but it is not known whe
ther they belonged to the miss
ing men or to those already res
cued. Twelve of the 17 airmen who
parachuted from the flaming B
36 early Tuesday have been
found and returned to McChord
field, Wash, Two of them were
injured.
The 12th survivor rescued
was Lieut. Charles G. Pooler of

Three search parties are being
held in reserve today aboard

Havre Smith, 86,
Dies, Silverton
Havre Smith, 86, one of the
oldest natives of the Silverton
community, died at the Salem
Convalescent home Thursday
afternoon where he had been in
ill hcilth for the last five
months.
Smith was the last member of
the pioneer family of Solomon
and Jemima Smith, who came to
Marion county in the early 1850s
and was one of a family of seven
children. He was born near Sil
verton April 11, 1863.
He was married to Annetta
Dawes at her home in Stayton
March 4, 1886, who died three
years ago. Most of their mar
ried life was spent on a farm two
and a half miles east of Mt. An
gel. Surviving are two children,
Orville Smith, Tacoma, Wash.,
and Mrs. Hugh (Jennie) Range
of Silverton; also three grand
daughters and two great-grandsons.
Funeral services will be held
from the memorial chapel of the
Ekman funeral home at 1:30
o'clock Saturday with burial in
the Silverton cemetery.
Woman Killed
(Continued from Page 1
She was wearing an inexpen
sive band on her ring finger, pos
sibly indicating she was mar
ried. Her clothing consisted of a
red bandana headpiece. It was
of a figured Dutch boy and girl
pattern. Her dress was a figur
ed, bluish-green. She wore a
long brown coat, brown sandals
and red anklets.
In her clothing were found
cigarets and a lighter. A spring
type watch band was also found,
but the watch was missing.
In an effort to identify the
woman, Salem and state police
officers canvassed the area,
checking families there who may
have known her. But none of
the residents of the vicinity were
able, by noon, to offer any clues
to her identity.
Some of them, however, re
ported having seen a woman of
her description walking down
the railroad right of way upon
several occasions recently, and
one report was received which
confirmed the story of the train
crew. She was seen walking
north from town shortly before
the accident.
Macleay Protest
(Continued from Page 1)
Fendricks comp 1 a i n e d that
rotting foodstuffs in the dump
will not burn, but carry a sus
taining stench. He also said
burning papers carried from the
dump by winds are a fire hazard
in the vicinity.
Mrs. Olson, a teacher at Pra
turn school, claims the odor is
very severe, even at the school
about five miles away. Mrs.
Boedigheimer offered a com
plaint about the trucks dropping
debris as they carried garbage
toward the aump.
Miller suggested, quite em
phatically, that the county at
tempt to secure a spot in some
isolated hilly country for
dump. He said the county could
build a road leading to such a
spot, and that the dump need
not be placed within several
miles of anyone's home.
Tooker told that his son had
recently made an investment of
several thousand dollars in
dairy barn, and now that the
garbage dump has been placed
at Macleay, the smoke from
the dump is continually settling
on his farm, and would probably
result in a lower grade of dairy
products produced there.
Humpert's foremost complaint
was that water running off the
dump in rainy weather was run
ning into a spring nearby, and
that several farmers depended
on that spring to provide water
for livestock and turkeys.
Salem
Rockets Ahead
Capiial Journal, Salem, Ore.,
Hell's Canyon Gospel Told
By Hudelson of Baker
W. A. Hudelson of Baker preaches hell and damnation and
believes in it.
Hudelson is on a trip through the western part of the state,
and as he goes is telling the people about the Hell's Canvon de
velopment pro3ect.
He believes the people of the
west side don t know too much
about the project and what it
means to northwest develop
ment. Hudelson happens to have
been raised at Jefferson in Mar
ion county, but has been an east
Oregonian for 40 years or more.
He is a director of the Hell's
Canyon Development associa
tion, which has 1200 members
at Baker.
The cost of the dam, includ
ing transmission lines, is esti
mated at $339,000,000, and it
has a favorable committee re
port in the lower house at Wash
ington. Location of the proposed dam
is on the Oregon-Idaho boun
dary and when built it will be
the highest dam in the world
and in the deepest canyon in
the world. The site is 110 miles
up Snake river from Lewiston
and 103 miles downstream from
Wciser.
The dam will be 742 feet high.
It will form a lake 93 miles
long, but which will inundate
only 1800 acres of tillable land.
Its purpose will be flood con
trol on the Columbia, also to
furnish additional water for Mc-
Nary and Bonneville reservoirs
at the low water season, and it
will be an aid to navigation at
that season.
Hell's Canyon dam will pro
duce from 900,000 to 1,000,000
Kilowatts or electrical enerev
against 800,000 at McNary and
fluu.uoo at Bonneville.

more realistically than at any
time in the past eight months of
the coal rontract dispute.

not more than four persons.
There have been 20 representa

no flat wage demand, it was said,
but left this open for settlement
when other points were agreed.
Lewis also has suggested that
the mine owners guarantee the
miners 200 days of work a year.
