FOR HEROIC
Judgment on Nation's Air
Defense Expected in
Time for Congress.
TASK DIFFICULT ONE
Commander Towers Asserts
Aviation Corps Should
Remain Integral
Part of Navy.
lAanristed ha Leurd Win.)
WASHINGTON. Oct. IT. The
President's air board retired to its
own counsel today as judge in the
long disputed question of American
prowess in the air. .
Satisfied that every angle of the
question has been amply explored
In the bulging volumes of testi
mony before it. the board turned
to the harder task ot drawing ecu
elusions from the masa of controv
ersial opinions and proposals pre
sented during its three weeks ot
hearings.
Conclusions of the hearing i last
right, after final day and night ses
sions marked by the t&ue conflict
of views among army and navy
witnesses that haa characterized
t:ie whole inrilry, brought' the
b.-.ard today to the question ot prod-lure
in preprng its report to
President Coolidge.
The president desires to have
the report in hand before congress
meets in December and so inform
ed Chairman Dwlght Morrow and
other members of the board when,
at the suggestion of Secretary
Dwlght F. Davis, then acting secre
tary, he appointed it to make the
exhaustive Inquiry now concluded
Into both the military and com
mercial phases ot the question. Mr
Davis suggested Its creation aa a
means of clearing the atmosphere
Ifter Colonel William Mitchell's
tensatlonal criticisms of the army
and navy air ' service administra
tion. Towers Suggests New Plan.
A warning that the existing sys
tem wltbin the navy department of
handling aviation would be unable
tn stand the stress of war was
sounded yesterday before the pres
ident's air board by Commander
John H. Towers, who arranged for
and had personal command of the
trans-Atlsntle flight of naval sea
planes in 1921.
Opposing both unified air serv
ice and a separate air corps wUr.li
the navy. Commander Towers, who
wss assistant director of naval av
iation during the war, said he was
firmly convinced "that aviation
roust remain an Integral part of the
main fighting organization of the
navy and that Is the line."
"II there Isn't a good til," he ndd
ed. " a little shaping must be dime,
but this shaping should be applied
to both parts, not to aviation
alone."
To this end he proposed the ap
pointment of an additioUHl assist
ant r'-eretary of the navy o be
charged with responsibility for av
iation only, with the prlnc'pnl duly
of coordinating the burtiu's con
certed with aviation.

President Coolidge Hopes
for World Benefit From

General Desire to Reduce

Lead to Action
Soon, Belief.
fAanrlatrit Frew Lvued Win.)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17. Wide
spread Interest attached in official
and diplomatic circles today to the
disclosure that President Coolidge
hopes that the success of the Lo
carno European security pact has
opened the way for a new disarm
ament conference in this country.
In the absence of formal knowl
edge of the terms of the group of
pacts worked out to give Eurooe Its
first real prospect of security since
the war, however, definite ateps
I toward the calling ot aucb a con
ference are unlikely.
I The Washington government has
received from time to time as the
Locarno conference took shape, ad
vices from Ita diplomatic represen
tatives in the capitals of the coun
try concerned which satisfied ob
servers here that European states
men entered that round table dis
cussion firmly determined to make
progress toward a permanent
peace status along the troubled
frontiers. Care has been taken,
however, not to send any observer,
official or unofficial to , keep an
eye on the proceedings." '
America Gives Moral 8upport,
Since the Washington's govern
ment's policy will not permit It to
participate In any way In the dis
cussion or to become responsible
In any degree for the execution of
whatever security program It was
lound oossible to formulate. It was
compelled to confine Itself to th-J
role of bystander, but gave Its full
est moral support to the undertak
ing. There has been no more definite
Indication of what president Cool
idge may nave In mind toward
summoning a new arms limitation
conference than the statement that
he regards the signing of the se
curity agreements aa going far to
ward making possible such a move.
Whether he hopes to lead the
Iwev toward a general arms cur
tailment understanding dealing
with land and sea and air forces or
still must be limited to a large ex
tent to the purelv naval matters.
Is not known. He has long been
anxious to exert his Influence di
rectly toward a reduction or mili
tary hnrdens. however, and with
out doubt Is exploring with his ad
visers every possibility of the pre
sent hopeful situation.
President Coollclre was urged to
rfav bv Senator Fess. republican.
Ohio, to Initiate a move for an In
ternational conference designed tn
bring about a reduction in the site
of European armies. The senator
suggested the conference should be
held In the United States as soon
. nnthl nd that it might he
found feasible to discuss also limit
ation of the tie of noison gas. sub
marines and aircraft in warfare.

8UTHERL1N, Oct. 17. A real
estate deal of considerable impor
tance was closed here thla week
when J. M. Wat kins, or Eugene, a
well known and successful pepper
mint grower, took over the prop
erty two miles east of Kutherlln
known aa Camp Two. The lands
embrace approximately alx hun
dred acres, and it Is understood
the price paid waa $60 per acre, or
a total of about $38,000.
The property was owned by the
Holland-America company ami the
deal waa conducted through the of
fice of F. M. Compton. local repre
sentative of the Holland-America
company and Balfour, Guthrie and
coniHiny. Thla is Ihe second large

a few months. Ihe nlher being thn
sale of the F. B. Walle ranch of
2!iOQ acres a short time ago to W.

of California, for ir.O.IHKI.
Camp Two la considered one of
the best ranches In Hulherllti Val
ley. The land Is practically all tin
der cultivation and the soli Is very
productive. Mr. Watkins. the pur
chaser of the property, will at once
proceed to plant one hundred acrea
to peppermint, and has already re
ceived three truck loans or pepper-
! mint rooie from iJine county which
are now being piemen.
He has
been engaged In peppermint grow
ing for a number of years, and af
ter careful Investigation says he
Is convinced that the soil and cli

An association of peppermint
growers will be formed here short

acres will be planted to pepper
mint the coming aeason. Arrange
ments are already bring made for
a large still at Camp Two whern
the peppermint essence will be ex
tracted. The new Industry promises
much for Hutherlln valley, and it
would not be surprising If the trees
In many orchards were pulled out
and the land used for growing pep

Is traced in an Interesting article
written by II. '. Stewart and
which appeared recently In the Ore
gon Journal. Mr. Stewart in his
article says:
With specialty crops gradually

at one time everyone waa trying
to produce the same thing as each
of his neighbors, the outlook for
agriculture Is much brighter. At
