"He shall see the capital of the nation removed to the valley of the Allstdsstppl, not four days Journev. from either ocean. Then shall the population of the mountain states be counted by the tens of millions and .Idaho shall be one of the first of states.' . Remarkable was the accuracy uf the vIsIol Governor Wallace in view or Mr. fact that Lcwislon, virtually the only settlement in the immenso territory which was then Idaho, excluding placer camps of the mountains, had Useir come Into being merely tin a trading post thru which 4re handled the supplies of tho gold seekers. ...

By Luther A. Huston) LONDON. (I.N.H.) America leads the world In aeronautical re search and experiment while France has taken the lead In the field of operation. Great IlrtUln. which held tlie lead at the end of the war, has failed to maintain the development work essential to leadership. . This trunk statement of Eng land's aeronautical . position, by comparison with that of Her chief allies during the war, was made by Major Genera! Sir Frederick H. Hykcs, one of the leading llrttlsh authorities on aviation In Kngland utmost since Us Inception. He was one of tho organizers of ;the .Brit-; ish Naval Air Corps and the Itoyal Air Force; commanded Hritlsh fly ing units In France und on the Dardanelles front during the war, I was chief of the British air staff.

At present ho is a mem-1 ber of tho Hritlsh Parliament, , Air of Vaist Importance, Discussing the importanfo of; aviation both In times of war and in civil affairs. General Hykes said: "The air us we know It has been evolved in the short space of fif teen years. Under right guidance It holds the' developments of the future. As an Instrument of war it will enforce operations In three dimensions. "Airpower limy -destroy the civ ilized world, or at best render a country a menace to Its neighbors.

Depreciating England's slni. ness in the matter of attention to post-war air development. General Sykes puld tribute to t Ihh: work America has done in the furl hir ing of aeronautical science. . "In America," he snid, "unlimit ed expemlituro on a wide field of research and development has sup ported the efforts of designers, und there has, in consequence, been u great stride in general aeronautical progress In the Lnited Stale, where the performances of latent types far siirpnsH thoso achieved In Eu rope.

He has much ground to cover and he is likely at the other end of his beat. But each night there is a silent police man at your, street-corner. There are many of them in this community. Thev are the street lights operated by the Enst-. ern uregon Ught and rower company. These silent guardians help to avoj cuients by lighting the streets, an give a sense of comfort and securiw cause crime cannot exist within the circle of their protecting radiance. During the war several cities in "their efforts to help in saving coal, ordered a reduction in street lighting. In one great city, the mayor ordered that all such lights outside of the central business section, should be cut off at 11 p. m. Vv'iiiiin an hour after. the order was put into effect, three murders, a score of hold ups and innumerable robberies, including the theft of the mayor's private car from in front of the city hall, were committed.
