Brush Fires in
Silverton Area
Silverton Two brush fires
kept the Silverton volunteer
fire department busy Sunday.
Damage was slight in each case,
but the fires threatened to do
considerable damage.
A sawdust pile, which has been
smoldering near the old flax
plant for months, broke out in a
blaze Sunday afternoon, and sent
fire racing across fields on
Brush creek, burning between
the Chauncey Bowen farm and
the Lovlein farm. The old flax
plant is located on the Charles
Leonard property, and Leonard's
cattle had used the building for
a shelter.
Although the old building
caught fire on three different oc-
casions, firemen were able to
hold damage to a minimum.
Four acres of stubble and grain
on the Floyd Fox farm burned
as a result of fire started from
a combine machine spark Sun
day. The Fox place is located a
few miles south of Silverton on
the Silver Falls highway. Sil
verton firemen halted the blaze
before it reached any buildings.
Four Injured An automobile
driven by Phillip Smith, 4965
Rickman road, and a City

Warren Talks On
Check Investigators
Police Chief Clyde A. Warren
reviewed activity of the week
end convention of the Northwest
Check Investigators association
Tuesday for members of the Sa
lem Junior Chamber of Com
merce.
.He pointed out that the pur
pose of the meeting was to en
able officers to exchange infor
mation which would aid in trac
ing bogus check operators.
His advice to the Jaycees was
to know the endorsers and to
determine if the check was good.
He emphasized that knowing
the endorser was particularly
important now in view of a "big
run on stolen government
checks."
Canners Themselves
Work Out Some Prices
The government has allowed
processors of canned and frozen
vegetables, fruits, juices, and
soups not yet covered by specific
price ceilings to work out their
own prices with buyers.
The office of price stabiliza
tion said the permission is tem
porary because production of
seasonal packs is at its peak
and the food must be moved to
markets immediately.
All the products will come
under - specific ceilings - later.
Prices in excess of ceilings then
will have to be cut back.
Wafer Use
Continued from Pane 1)
The maximum of water that
can be brought in from the North
Santiam water source through
the pipeline from Stayton island
is about 20,000,000 gallons a
day. The difference between
that figure and what is used
in excess of it has to come from
the reservoir. Monday that
meant the reservoir reserve had
to be drawn on for 16,100,000
gallons.
The heavy usage was mainly
irrigation of lawns and gardens.
But in addition to household and
garden usage the canneries are
in operation and the water con
sumption there was part of the
day's .total.
There is plenty of water in
the river, City Manager J. L.
Franzen said, and no restriction
on the use of water is contem
plated so far. Guenther said,
however, that any voluntary re
duction agreed upon by resi
dents, for example, using water
on alternate days, would be help
ful and would keep up pressure,
which lends to drop when the
usage is as heavy as it was
Monday.
CBIC to Meet in Spokane
Spokane, Wash., Aug. 21 u.R
Public hearings on a program
for the comprehensive develop
ment of the Columbia basin were
scheduled here for late October

ducted in Portland and Boise.
Clothing Found A bag of
clothing and other articles,
found near 3435 Triangle drive
south of Salem was held Tues
day at the Marlon county sher
iff's office for its owner. It
was discovered near a culvert.
The bag contained three sets of
jeans for a young boy some

Bressler, 1715 South-High street

500 acres.
New Detroit Area Blaze
New fire was one about seven
miles west of Detroit, which
broke out in the early morning
hours of Tuesday. Starting in
the Clackamas-Marion Fire Pro
tection district, that fire is most
ly on the forest service section
in the Willamette National For
est now. At first reports it was
20 acres but a report received
by the state forestry department
shortly before noon estimated it
at 500 acres.
Three men from the Salem of
fice of the forestry department
have gone to that blaze but have
not yet reported back on it. Burn
ing in a rocky and very steep
area, it will be difficult to get
equipment onto the fire and
much hand work will be re
quired.
More than 5000 acres of tim
ber land have been blackened by
the fire on Hubbard creek near
Roseburg, which continues un
controlled and Monday night
burned the Landers' lookout
tower and the structure under
neath it. Approximately 500
fire fighters are expected to be
on the line Tuesday in a des
perate effort to bring that blaze
under control. More equipment
and men are being rushed into
that area by the Douglas Forest
Protective association.
29 New Fires in Washington
In the state of Washington
there were 29 new fires, but
all were controlled except one
of about 100 acres in Cowlitz
county near Toutle and one of 60
acres southwest of Chehalis.
The fire at Greylands got away
Monday night on about a mile of
trail and grew to some 750 acres.
The fire near Newhalem was
halted by 300 fire-fighters after
burning about 2000 acres. A fire
in Skagit county had covered
from 1800 to 2000 acres and
north of Vancouver, Wash., an
80-acre fire on the Lewis river
was trailed Monday night.
California reported that 25.000
acres had been blackened since
fires broke out over the week
end.
Salary Hike
(Continued from Pw 1
The board refused the request
of Harry W. Lang, of the Na
tional Laundry, for turning over
laundry work of the University
of Oregon Medical school to pri
vate laundries in Portland in
stead of doing the work at the
slate prison.
Lang s laundry is now hand
ling the medical school's laun
dry during the sit-down strike
at the penitentiary,
All members of the board were
in accord that the handling of
laundry of state institutions was
in no way competing with pri
vate industry and also said that
there was no appropriation
available if such a change were
held to be advisable. The laun
dry work was taken from pri
vate laundries in 1941, when,
according to Warden George
Alexander, the Portland laun
dries were not able to handle
the work because of the influx
of shipyard workers to the area.
The board authorized pay
ments of $7,617.10 due to Bowen
Brothers on a mechanical con
tract for the T. B. treatment unit
at the Oregon State hospital and
$8,035.40 due George Isakson
company for work on the new
school building at the Blind
school.
First Aid Case Monday First
aid was called Monday to dress
a cut for Benny Hutto, 7, of 2370
Lansing, who stepped on a frag
ment glass while going barefooted.

and the Taft-Hartley act indic
ate some top labor leaders may
be getting ready to throw their
strength behind a democratic
presidential candidate again in
1952.
President William Green of
the American Federation of La
bor surprised some republicans
by linking an attack on the
Taft-Hartley act with an asser-
lion in an Atlanta speech yes-,
terday that Taft himself is ' an
organizer of communism in Am
erica." Condemning the labor act as
"an insult to the working peo
ple of America," Green said the
law of which Taft was one of the
principal authors "has made peo
ple resentful and may turn their
faces toward communism."
Dan Tobin, president of the
AFL Teamsters, predicted in a
union publication that Taft and
President Truman will be the
nominees of their respective par
ties. He said Taft is "an honor
able man" but holds "antagon-
ism to labor."
Taft, meanwhile, is on a three-
day tour of northern New Eng
land, where he will make a half
dozen or so speeches. He is sched
