' WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 Two
more lives were sacrificed to aviation
at the United States aviation field,
College Park, Md., near here, late to
day, when an army aeroplane fell 35
feet to the ground, instantly killing
Corporal Frank S. Scott, and so ser
iously injuring Second Lieutenant
Lewis C. Rockwell that he died later.
Hundreds of persons, including fel
low army officers atached to the avi
ation school, witnessed the tragic ac
cident. When they reached the scene
Corporal Scott was found dead sever
al feet from the wrecked machine,
while Lieutenant Rockwell was near
by, fatally injured. The Lieutenant
was taken to the Walter Reed Army
hospital here, where he died this ev
ening. Lieutenant Rockwell had started up
with Corporal Scott as a passenger
to make a test flight in his trial for
ay military aviator's license. They
had been in the air about eight min
utes and at a height of about 500 feet
began gliding down. About 35 feet
from the ground the aviator turned
the machine upward again and some
thing went wrong. The aeroplane
buckled and crashed to the ground,
reduced to a heap of wreckage.
Scott and Rockwell were hurled
several feet from the machine. Broth
er officers, acting as officials in the
test flight, picked up the men. Scott
was lifeless, his clothes torn j from
him and his bones broken. Rockwell
his head buried in the earth, showed
signs of life.
Officers who witnessed the accident
were at a loss to account for it.

al of the mills by M. D. Latourette,

v "This is a great country," said Mr.
Dunscomb. "I am amazed. I never
dreamed that there was such a busy
place in the northwest as Oregon
City. I wish I could stay here sever
al months to make a thorough study
of conditions. Oregon City has a
great future, and its citizens are evi
dently wide-awake."

ENGINEER TO MEET WITH DELE
GATES OF WILLAMETTE VAL
LEY CITIES
LOCKS AND DAMS NOT NECESSARY
Dredging of Willamette River Will
""Cost About $50,000 Annually,
According to Estimates
Evincing the deepest interest in the
proposed establishment and main
tenance of a six-foot channel from
Portland to Eugene by means of
locks and dams above Oregon City,
Major Mclndoe, Corps of Engineers,
U. S. A., who recently issued a letter
to commercial interests of the Wil
lamette valley, asking that expres
sions be forwarded to his office bear
ing on the matter, has consented to
appear at, Albany, October 3, when
there will be assembled delegates
from Willamette cities to . discuss
ways and means of bettering naviga
tion conditions.
Some of the Albany taxpayers have
expressed themselves as favoring the
improvement of the present channel
to a depth of three feet so that it
would not be" necessary to construct
locks and dams. Steamboat men are
holding to the view that a six-foot
road should be built and that with
slack water for1 the entire distance
as against, a strong current that must
be Contended with most of the year
under present conditions, time will be
saved in traveling, while larger ves
sels can ascend the stream instead
of only those built on special lines.
E. B. Thomsen, assistant 'engineer
in Major Mclndoe's office, and Cap
tain A. B. Graham, of the Oregon City j
Transportation " Company, will jour
ney to Eugene so as to cover the
stretch of river between there and Cor
vallis which is not navigable at cer
tain periods, and they will complete
their examination in time to attend
the Albany gathering.
Major Mclndoe forwarded an exten
sive report some time ago on im
proving the Willamette by dredging,
it being estimated that with $50,000
or $60;000 annually,' instead of $20,
000 as now appropriated, permanent
benefits could be provided. The chief
of engineers, General Bixby, passed
favorably on this report, but congress
did not act, evidently having know
ledge that the Oregon delegation was
working on a six-foot channel plan.
