In Linn county to the north,

A similar warning was issued

The flow into tho Cottage
Grove reservoir, which was only
four feet from its crest at 8 a. m,
today, was also down slightly.
Thurston Periled
The increase In the McKonrle
during the night brought peril
to the Thurston farming com
munity and Springfield civilian
defense workers and the McK.cn'
lie river boatmen were evacuat
ing farmers from that area this
morning.
Despite the fact that hundreds
of acres were flooded, all agen
cies working on rescues said they
had no reports of persons miss
ing. Two residents of West
Springfield, Mrs. Gladys Dur
ham and John H. Matteson, were
admitted to a Eugene hospital
during the evening and treated
for shock, but their condition
was not believed serious.
Several 111 persons were
brought from Springfield to Eu
gene by way of the southern
Pacific line on speeders, to be
taken to the hospitals here.
Evacuees Eat
Hundreds of evacuees in
Springfield, most from the Glen'
wood area which has been under
several feet of water for more
than 30 hours, were being fed
In the high school there. The
Red Cross provided them with
shelter in the homes of Spring
field residents during the night.
Property damage was expect
ed to be heaviest in the Glen
wood area, as rescuers coming
back from there this morning
said many more buildings had
been crumpled by the flood
waters.
Springfield police reported
during the night that farmers in
the Jasper and Deadmond Ferry
districts were calling for help
across the waters and firing guns
In attempts to gain the attention
of rescuers. These areas were
expected to be evacuated today.
Engineers Help
A detachment of 77 army en
gineers from Camp Adair, head
ed by Lt. Carl Froerer, arrived
here about 1 a. m. this morning
and immediately began to help
with rescue work under the di
rection of C. C. Mongold, resi
dent U. S. army engineer.
Rescue work was restricted
during the night because of the
swift waters, with the Red Cross
in Eugene reporting at least a
score of requests for evacuation
which they could not fill until
daylight.
Reports from the state police
hers indicated that Eugene had

SALEM, Jan. 1 W) The Mar
lon county Red Cross dlsas. re
lief committee stood on tho ulert
today as tho boiling Willamette
river threatened to flood scores
of farm homes in the Salem
area.
With a 27-foot crest predicted
for Saturday night, the river
reached 23.2 feet at 8 a. m. to
day, up one foot in eight hours.
Salem itself would be en
dangered if the river goes above
27 or 28 feet.
Frederick Wlese, farmer in
tho Willamette community, was
believed drowned yesterday. No
trace of him was found, but a
team of horses returned to his
home after breaking away from
the wagon on which he was
working.
In the bottom lands near Sa
lem, some tenants have aban
doned their homes, but others
have remained, traveling by row
boa:. Residents of nearby Dallas
were ordered by city officials to
boil their drinking water after
a slido broke a water pipe near
the source of the city's water
supply. . .
Remnants of Silverton's Abl
qua dam, source of the town's
water supply, went out late yes
terday. The dam was damaged
In the November flood, but it
had been hoped that the broken
dam could have been used as
the foundation for a new dam.

but a technicality has entered
the situation as regards him.
Members of the, county court
said Jacobs might be technical
ly -disqualified because he reg
istered as a republican for a
single day. ; . .
- This occurred ""on the day
after the general . election in
November. Jacobs,, who had
been a democrat for 22 years,
had made an election wager
with some one, changed regis
tration for a single day, and
changed it back the next day
to the democratic party. .
The registration records show
Jacobs' registration card with
the word "democratic" written
on it, but another word rubbed
out. .. .... . , . . - -
Jacobs told the court about
the incident this week.
The law requires that the ap
pointee must have been a mem
ber of the democratic party for
five years prior to the appoint
ment, Boivin being a democrat.
Hence, a question of Jacobs'
technical qualification, has been
raised. There is no indication
that Jacobs intended to change
his party allegiance, but .mere
ly changed registration for a
day in payment of an election
wager.
A number of other names are
still being mentioned, and the
final decision rests with the
court.

It wasn't known that the Japs
