verting the waters of the Deschutes
river through the plant Of the Bend
Water, Light & Power company, are
cconsidered responsible for a washOut
which occurred yesterday and which
will cost the company several thousand
dollars
Water impounded in the joint log
pond Of the Brooks-Scanlon Lumber
company and the Shevlin- Hixon COM
pany a mile above, was suddenly re-
leased, while the pond was being clean
ed out, with the result that the por-

boring of the crustaceans was quickly
swept away.
When first discovered the flood men
aced the ice plant and creamery but
an alarm brought the members Of the
Bend fire department, and volunteer
workers joined them, filled sand bags
and carried tons of hay to be placed in
front of temporary dam of timbers
which was hastily erected. At one
time 200 men and boys were at work

CHIEF OF POLICE
Twill Be NAMED.
This EVENING

A new chief of police to succeed
Fercy M. Varney as head of the Salem
oplice department, will be appointed
by the city council at its regular ses-
sion tonight, if a quorum is present.
Either Verden M. Moffitt, present
traffic officer, or Jack Welsh, engin-
eer at the Wittenburg- King plant will
be appointed it is believed, as no
other candidates are known.
Perhaps in no other appointment
to be made by the council has the
public taken so keen an interest.
Shortly after publication that Traf-
fic Officer Moffitt, an ex-service man,
was candidate against Mr.. Welsh
petitions began to appear in the buui-
ness districts urging the council to
appoint Mofflt to the post.
The council is known to be div
ided on the matter of appointment of
these two candidates. Because coun-
'cllmen decline to commit themselves
1t is not known who has the majority
vote to win the appointment.
Individual members of the Ameri-
can Legion have approached mem-
bers of the council urging the ap-
pointment of Mr. Moffitt as chief.
Mayor Wilson is said to have been
approached by several legion men,
and while not naming the candidate
he would support, inferred that he
probably would support the former
soldier
AS Councilman Halvorsen and
Craig are out of the city, and john
son may be attending convention in
Portland, it is possible quorum will
not be present at the meeting.
