ADVERTISERS PATRONIZE NEWS-REVIEW SL STARTS AT ONCE (Auwlatoi Preu Loused Wire) PORTLAND, Ore., July 12. De velopment of railway terminal at Klamath Falls will be begun at once under the direction of L. C. Oilman, executive vice president of the Great Northern railway, Ralph Budd, president of the company, has informed the Portland Tele gram. " Mr. Oilman accompanied the Great Northern president from Se attle, and will make his head quarters hero during the prelimin ary stages of the Great Northern's expansion in central Oregon. He expects to spend considerable time, however, in Klamath Falls . ond Bend. No announcement has been made as to how the terminal situation at Klamath Falls will be worked out. The northern line owns two tracts of land on opposite Bides of Lake Ewauna. One tract ,'adjolnn the terminals of the Southern Pa cific, over whose tracks the Great Northern will reach Klamath Falls. The other may be reached either over a long trestle across the lake, or bv leaving the Southern Pacific tracks at Pelican City and using the recently acquired right of way down the Link river. The Great Northern also plans on developing Its own terminals nt Bend, While the site has not definitely been chosen, one-that is known tn be ndor consideration Is along the Shevlin-HIxon railway, about a mile south of Bend. Sur vivors have begun work on this site to determine its suitableness for terminal purnoses. Tho Great Northern's chief en gineer will be sent to Bend In the near future. Mr. Budd said, to de termine what Improvements are to b made nn the newly acquired Shevlln-Wiyon logeing line. This work will be carried on simultan eously wl'h the construction of the 4R miles link which will connect the nresent tfermlnus of the Sliev-Hn-H'von line with the Southern Pa'fic's track at Chemult. - The auestin of tbrt ip"invnl nf the Oornn Trunks division point from 'Metnlhft to Bend is said to depend enMrelv unon "whether the nrnnerty thnt Is available mav be utilized for terminal purposes. Sur vflvs are blnpr made to determine this, and if this prnhlem Is solved, It is understood, W. F. Turner, president of th Oregon Trunk, will recommend tft t'insfor of the division point to Bend. FIVE WORTHLESS CHECKS TURNED OVER TO SHERIFF STARMER Five worthless checks, which It Is claimed were passed by H. G. Ewlnp. arrested yesterday and held in the county Jail pending a hearing, have been turned in to Sheriff Starmer. Four of these checks, each for 520, were passed on the Grand Hotel, Stanley's Garage, Roseburg Garage, and Jitney 6. Another for $12.50 was passed on the Imperial Cleaners. Mr. Ewing following his arrest declared that he had money in the Coquille bank upon which the checks were drawn, but the bnnk stated that he had never opened ari account there. Editor On Tour Oscar H. Cravens, editor of tho Daily World and Weekly Courier at Bloomington, Indiana; was a visitor In Roseburg last night. Mr. Cravens and his family are on an auto tour of the Pacific coast and are going north from California. UNSUNG GORDON M'COY RISKED DEATH TO FLOOD (By NEA Service.) NEW ORLEANS, July 12. The eagles of the aid have won the ap plause of the nation. Tho Lind berghs, Chamberlins, Byrds, Malt lands and the rest have dared greatly and achieved greatly. They have brought new honors to American aviation. But now It is time to talk about another American aviator: an avi ator who dared greatly, too. and risked all that a man can risk his lire but who did It In obscurity, without the blare of trumpets, seeking not glory but the safety and comfort of others. This man is Major Gordon Mc Coy, of the II. S. army air service. For two months he has been saving lives In the flooded regions of Louisiana, flying all day long, week after week, spending his own money, going without sleep, risk ing death In various forms, doing It Quietly anil' without acclaim but making a record that the peo ple of the valley will not soon for get. Volunteered For Service Major McCoy was stationed at Memphis, Tenn., as Instructor to the Tennessee national guard, when the flood came. Ho volun teered for service, took his army plane and was assigned to rescue work in the lower valley. No one knows just how many lives he saved. Dally he flew out far over the flooded valleys, circling like a hawk over Inundat ed farm lands and pastures. Far below he would see a group of people cllnelng to a roof top In the midst of the swirling waters. Down he would soar. , hovering beside them. . A wave of his hand would give them a message of encourage ment; then he would shoot aloft again, rising until he could signal a distant coast guard boat to come Made in a MinuteThis Wonderful DRESSING Fruit Salads Follow the recipe below and make this delicious salad dressing in a minute- prove to yourself that Mazola is equal to the finest imported salad oils.

The HS-1, largest army dirigible and flagship ot Scott Field, will embark tins nioniu its longest flight. A tour to Washington, New York and Boston, with a possible stop at the Ford mooring mast in De troit on the homeward trip, nas been arranged as an educational flight for a crow of about nine itifn. commanded by Lieut. Col. John A. Paegelow, commandant of Scott Field. The ship is the world's largest semi-rigid crnft, and Is approxi mately a third as large as the Los Angeles, rigid nirship of the navy. HERO OF Major Gordon McCoy ET- 13 D E, A- Company ...State. Launched in January, 1020, its longest previous flight was to De troit on the first log of a proposed 1,200 mile hegira which was can celled becauso of adverse weather conditions. On a flight hero six months ago the KS-1 was compelled to remain aloft for nearly 20 hours because of a 61-mile gale which made land ing Impossible. It was in constant radio communication with the field. The ship has three gondolas, Jwo for engines and one a navigator's cabin, slung to an aluminum keel which gives it seml-rfgidity. It is 282 feet long, 73 feet at its largest diameter, and has a helium capaci, llv of 719.000 cubic feet. -A THE AIR SAVE REFUGEES IN and rescue the marooned people. Probably the most dangerous of his exploits camo near Daltey's landing, on Bayou Boeuf. He saw a negro on the roof of a house, dropped down and lnnded in the water alongside. "Boss, howdy," cried tho negro. Tse sure glad to see you nnd l'se sure the boss would invito you right In. if right In warn't filled with water and the boss sick in the attic and not able to say any thing much." Major. McCoy entered thte house. He found 22 white people lying in its stuffy, damp attic. A short ex amination showed him the trouble smallpox! Away went tho major to thtw nearest coast guard station. Bncki to the house ho gutedd a rescue boat, seeing to tt that the side people and the negro were taken away safely. He saw them conduct ed to a hospital camp, received the doctor's assurances that all would recover and then went and hat! himself vaccinated and resumed his rescue work. Won't Take Praise "Shucks! Most any airman can do that sort of thing." he remark ed. That Is only a sample of Major McCoy's work. Day after day, week In and week out, be has been doing things like that. ' From day break until dusk his plane has soared over the flooded farms and villages, guiding the rescue boats and safeguarding the lives ofthose threatened by the flood. He has gained no fame. There will be no triumphal welcomes or medals for hfra when he goes homo. But he has honored American aviation Just as surely as I.lnd- bergh and Chamberlln have honor-4 ed It. And the penpl? of the valley know It.
