Lane County Chamber Will
Ask for Showdown on
Project
A lukewarm attitude en the part
of the state highway commission to
ward undertaking completion of the
highway down ths Siuslaw river
from Mapleton to the coast at Flor
ence was reported at last night's
meeting of the Lane County Cham
ber of Commerce by County Com
missioner Liiinion num.
It resulted In a vote by the county
chamber directing Its highway com
mittee to get In touch with the
highway commissioners Immediately
for a definite expression as to
whether they Intend to go ahead or
not; If not, why not, and the Lane
county ohamber will act accordingly
at a special meeting which may be
called by Joseph E. Shelton, the
president.
"I was the only Lane county rep
resentative present at the last high
way meeting In Portland." said Mr.
Hurd. "and I spoke after a large
delegation had been heard asking
for work this year on the Rooosevelt
highway all along the ooast.
"I said frankly that Lane county
had only a few thuusand dollars It
oould contribute toward the Roose
velt ob at this time, and that so
far as we were concerned we would
muoh rather see the road down ths
Siuslaw completed this year, be
cause with the tax levy voted this
fall for that purpose we have about
$250,000 for the county's share on
that project.
"The commissioners asked me
which project I thought the people
of Lane county would rather see go
forward, the Roosevelt or tho Sius
law road, and I said the Siuslaw
road, beoause we have money enough
to assure something like a finished
result on that projeot. The matter
was tsken under consideration, but
I gathered the highway commission
was not muoh Inclined to take the
Siuslaw road up actively at this

KEEPS SECRET
OF LOST PI
GRAND CANTO V. Aria., Dee, 21.
The sullen Colorado guards its
secrets closely. A three-day airplane
search along 247 miles of the great
Grand Canyon gorge served only
partly to lift the veil which the swirl
ing siit-laden waters cast over the
fate of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Hyde,
Hansen, Ida., honeymoon adventur
ers, who challenged the dangerous
currents in a home made scow.
Lieutenants John (Juincy Adams and
W. ft. Plummer. army air pilots from
March field, Kivemde, Cnl., govern
ment field, late yesterday gave up
the hunt for the missing couple and
returned to their poM. The army
airmen located the scow, stranded at
(he water's edge at Separation rapids,
13 miles below Diamond creek. Flying
as far below the towering canyon
walls as they dared, the nirmen found
no further trace of Mr. and Mrs.
Hyde. Suitcases and supplies they
saw, apparently intact in the scow.
Tbe hunt now devolves upon boat
and foot parties, already engaged in
1 tedious sparrh for footprints, in an
'effort to determine whether the ven
i t tiresome cntiple escaped the trench
i e rus rapids. Before returning to
March field. Adams and Plummer
snooped low over a boat party. iead"d

White House
In Portland
Is New Plan
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. OP)
Claims of Portland, Ore., as site for
a summer white house were advanced
today, by Representative F. F, Korell,
republican of that state.
''Airways are being laid out," he
said, "and transcontinental air travel
is just beginning. All of this means
that distance between the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts Iias been reduced
so tha t with iua ugurat ion of a -4-hour
air service the relative distance
between Washington and any one of
the major Pacific coast cities will uot
be as (treat as t!he distance between
Washington and Philadelphia in the
days of Washington, Adams and Jef
ferson." His statement, inserted in the, Con
gressional Record added that, he was
calling the matter to the attention of
fhe house because of recent agitation
for a summer white house. He said he
was "anxious that the claims of my
native city, which are great from the
standpoint of health, beauty, con
venience, and accessibility, shall not
be overlooked."
