Copco Extension to Serve
Patrons on the Pacific
Highway and Along

CLKNl'JALK, June 21. Construc
tfon work is to begin immed lately
on tlie extension of t he alif oin hi
Oregon Power company's power
lines on Cow creek from the pres
ent terminus ut (Jlendule Junction
lo Fortune Branch, according to
authorization received from the
company's Chicago office.
The new extension will follow
along tho Pacific highway and will
be almost 4 miles long. It' will
serve about 10 customers, three of
them being auto camps and aer
vlce stations on the Pacific high
way. Aa originally proposed the power
line was to have extended :ij miles
further than present plans cull for,
or to Azalea. While tlie power
company is making no promises
at lliis time it is generally thought
by company representatives mat
the line will eventually be extend
ed to Azalea, as the plans cull tor
insulation and construction to
carry ti!00 volts, although tlie pres
ent voltage used is
1). A. Hutchinson of Med ford is
in charge of construction on tho
new line. When completed this
line will be added to the (itendnle
district and will be in charge ot
W. j, JohynH, Copco representa
tive at Cileudale.
This project has been under
consideration since last Decem
ber. The Lf. S. government plan
ned erect ion of a n aerial beacon
on tho summit between Canyon
creek and Cow creek and with this
uld in view It was thought enough
jnore revenue could be secured to
warrant the power company In ex
tending itu lines to Azalea. When
plans for the beacon were rescind
ed the proposition to extend the
power lines received a temporary
setback. The plans now authorized
are a compromise of the original
proposition, as they include only
about one-half of the extension ask
ed lor ut first.

POLIET, 111.. June 21. John
King, an ugeo convict in the Illi
nois state prison, has invented an
airplane propeller that may revo
lutionize world flying.
The most amazing part of this
news is that King, whom psycholo
gists have called the "possessor of
a criminal mind," has never seen
a modern airplane.
It was behind the gray, forbid
ding walls of Joliet prison that
King, an inmate for the past 1G
years, conceived and perfected his
icma rk able di sco very.
With 13 years of his sentence
to serve. King has refused all mon
etary offers for his invention.
Among the aviation interests that
have communicated with King con
cerning his creation are the Cnited
States navv, the Guggenheim
Foundation and Henry Tord.
King, however, declares that the
only price he would consider is his
immediate freedom, a matter, which
rests in the hands of the state of
Illinois.
His Idea was first conceived In
a dream while lie was asleep hi
a solitary confinement cell. For
five years he toiled alone over tb
plans. After Major Harry C- Hill
became warden he was allowed
Mr. and Mrs. T. K. Pollock, who re

EAGER TQ ACCLAIM
HIS ACHIEVEMENTS
f AsnnrUtf! Pre Iaal Wire)
WASHINGTON, June 21. Rear
Admiral Richard E. Hyrd turned
toward home today and the plau
dits of old friends and neighbors
eager to add their own acclaim for
his daring exploits to that of New
York and Washington.
He was the proud possessor of
the second medal to be presented
to hira by a president of the United
Slates ill honor of his achieve
ments in exploring the polar re
gions by airplane.
The decoraiion, a special medal
of the National Geographic society,
was conferred upon him last night
by President Hoover in com
memoration of his South pole
flight. The presentation took place
on the same stage upon which he
received from President Coolidge
a medal In honor of his flight over
the North pole.
Praise From Hoover
In lauding the aviator's accom
plishments, Mr. Hoover said be
spoke not only for himself but for
the nation as a w hole.
"For men of our race to master
extraordinary difficulty, to carry
through great adventure, thrills us
with pride, with hope and with
confidence." he said, "great ex
plorers do not merely add to the-
sum of human knowledge but they
also add immensely to the sum of
human inspiration."
In reply. Admiral Dyrd told of
the. flight to'the pole and described
tlie region in which he and his
party dwelt while preparing for the
flight. His full report is to be- pub
lished in the fall and probably will
occupy three volumes.
Double Satisfaction
It was satisfying to the mind, he
said, that the expedition accom
plished its objectives and carried
the American flag one thousand
miles farther south than it ever
had gone before.
"Dut," he added, "of deeper
meaning is the fact that every man
who started out with me has re
turned that we left not a single
man on the :cj- that everyone is
here tonight.
"Such a . tiling satisfies the
heart."
At the enrc'uion of his address,
moik.il pictures taken by the ex
pedition were cuown for the first
time.
Admiral Dyrd planned to leave
Washington early in the day today
for Richmond, ills home, wnere an
other tumultuous welcome awaited
him. The members of his command
left Washington for New York ut
midnight last night.

attraction, in addition to being an
important transportation route. He
stated that the Umpqua valley and
coastal region have much in com
mon, and expressed his apprecia
tion of the caravan as a means of
uniting efforts to secure the needs
for this vast empire.
Maurice Newland, president of
the Roseburg Chamber of Com
merce, spoke on the Importance of
increased transportation facilities.
He developed the thought that the
Umpqua valley, with its wonderful
climatic conditions, can produce a
wide variety of crops, and that out
of more than a million acres of
tillable land, less than 100,000
acres arc being put to productive
use. In order to realize from the
potential possibilities of the agri
cultural land of the county, he
stated, it is necessary that mar
