HIGHWAY BOARD
TO DECIDE POLK
ROAD CASE SOON

The future course of the state
highway department In Polk coun-
ty, based on the recent order hand
ed down by Circuit Judge Kelly
restraining contractors from pro-
ceeding with further work on the
West Side Pacific Highway under
the agreement between the state
and county court, will be determ-
ined at meeting of the highway
commission, probably during the
coming week, according to Roy A.
Klein, secretary to the commits
sion.
The grading work involved in
the state and county agreement
has been practically completed, ac-
cording to Klein, and the contracts
have been let for the paving Of
the highway with the contractors
making preparations for immedi-
ate work on this phase of the high
way improvement.
Inasmuch as both Judge Kelly
and Judge McCourt, while a mem
ber of the circuit court OF Multi
nomah county, have upheld the
validity OF the present route of the
Pacific highway through Polk
county, 1t is pointed out, it is pos
sible that the highway commits
sion may decide to proceed with
the paving Of the road in spite of
the court decree which affects only
the Indebtedness of Polk county to
the static highway department.
However. 1t is stated, there is no
way in which the department can
be compelled to proceed with this
paving. work now that the agree
ment between the state and coun-
ty has been declared void by the
courts.

ARMY PILOT AND
CIVILIAN Win IN
BALLOON RACE:

Chicago, June Sc (By Associ-
ated Press. Lieutenant W. F.
Reed of Pensacola, Fla, sole navy
entry in the national balloon race
which started at Milwaukee
Wednesday, was the only pilot un-
accounted for when dawn
streaked the skies today.
Swung below their big silver
gray bag, Lieutenant Reed and
his aide, Chief Rigger Kitmu1len-
ak, were believed to be drifting
over the Great Lakes region. From
the start of their flight Lieutenant
Reed and his companion virtually
have been lost in the skies.
Determination of which three
pilots will represent America in
the international balloon races
which starts in Switzerland this
summer awaited only reports
from the navy airmen. 1t has
been practically assured that the
American entries in the interna-
tional race will include one army
pilot and one civilian-Major
Oscar Westover of Washington,
D. G. and H. E. Honeywell of st.
Louis.
While enthusiasts awaited word
of Lieutenant Reed, Major West
over holds the honors of the race,
having covered a distance of ap-
proximately 900 miles when he
landed near Lake st. John in the
province of Quebec. Honeywell,
when he descended south of Jop-
lin, Mo-, had floated $50 miles.
Both of these balloonists covered
considerable more distance than
any of their competitors except
the missing Reed and are virtually
certain entries in the international
event.
One of the surprises of the race
was the early descent of Lieuten-
ant Commander ]. P. Norfleet in
his helium-filled navy bag which
engaged in an experimental flight
and not as a contestant. Com
mander Norfleet had covered 425
miles when he landed near Han
cock, Mo.
No injuries of consequence were
by any OF the pilots who
are down.

1t is admittedly seldom that an
amateur theatrical production
holds much of interest to persons
other than those acquainted with
tbs members Of the cast, but
those who appeared in ELIZA
Comes to Stay" senior play
which was presented under the
direction of Miss Hazel Browne at
the Salem high school last night,
raised their comedy out of that
class and made of 1t farce which
won general applause.
In singing out individuals for
mention, Kenneth Perry, Helene
Gregg, Frances Ward, Margaret
McMahan and Donald Worden
must be lined up toward the front.
Merle Petram, as the honorable
Sandy Verrall, an English gentle
man, handled his part well.
Unlike most high school casts.
that which produced ELIZA Comes
to Stay" had but four weeks in
which to rehearse and in that
short period accorded her. Miss
Browne accomplished much. Over
acting, the fault which weakens
so many amateur offerings. was
reduced to a minimum.
Members of the cast were as
follows: Merle Petram, Frances
