The relocation through Dorris. as planned, would eliminate three right-angle turns at Butte and 4th, 4th and Main, and Main and 1st, and also eliminate three railroad spur crossings near the south city limits and the main Une crossing of Uie Southern Pacific tracks at the east city limits. The HtKhwsv Commission's plsns call for a general re-routing of TJS 97 from Juniper Station, the route to follow closely the present nign- way, and an overnead crossing at the south city limits of Dorris over the railroad tracts, present mgn wsy and a county road. A bad kink in the. road at May, between Dorris and Macdoel, also is to be eliminated. The new road Is planned to be two-lane, with room to expand into four-lane, but one mile section on Dorris Hill (Klamath Pass) would be built four-lane.

Warden John Cranor said the tunnel was at least IS feet below Uie surface of the ground. State police and sheriff's officers from a dozen counties in Wash ington and Oregon barricaded highways and began one of the greatest manhunts in Eastern Washington history. Deputy Warden Al Remboldt said the tunnel, -'.arted at an a""'t near the prison's power house, went north and came up Just out side the east wall, less than 100 leet Irom a watch tower, HA.N'DHJLL "It must have been made by th handfull," Remboldt said, "and the men put the dirt In the ashpit and carried it out with the ashes. There is no telling how long it took them to dig it or bow many men have been working on It." - Cranor said the seven, including a convicted murderer, are all max imum security prisoners and are believed to be dangerous. One had said If he ever escaped he would not be taken alive. A count at Ihe prison listed these men as missing: Bob Cameron, second degree burglary. College Place, Wash.; Bob Palmer, parole violation and second degree assault. Walla Wal la; Glen Wahl, first degree as sault, Merril Casel second degree burglary; Ralph Courser, robbery; Harold Coe, serving life for first degree murder; and Harry Being, robbery and escape. CONVICTED Cranor said Coe was one of two sailors convicted of dragging a teacher out of bis car and killing him a year ago. Officers said Palmer recently bragged that he would never be taken alive "if be ever got out of Uie place." Palmer was convicted on two counts of assault for at tempting to shoot his estranged wife in Walla Walla. Cranor said that while he had not checked Uie records, he be lieved Uie break took more men out of Uie prison than ever es caped at a single time in the past. "It is possible and probable the; had outside help," be said. The only clue turned up was a report to police in Walla Walla that an automobile had bun stolen this morning from a private garage m a residential area Police thought it probable! the oar bait been stolen and used in the escape. In checking the tunnel opening, Cranor said the ashpit had been used before and the area is cov ered with steel plates Installed to cover previous openings. He said one tunnel waa discov ered at the same place last sum. mer and was filled in. The con victs in making- this escape dug around some of the pistes after having removed one.
