THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, rOETLAXD, AUGUST 24, 1919 11 COMMEIVDED TO BOYS Idaho Governor Calls Attention To Advantages. AVIATION PROBLEM RAISED Question of State's Right to Regulate Air Traffic to Be Pat Up to Attorney-General. BOISE, Idaho. Aug:. 25. (Special.) Governor Davis believes army life offers many educational advantages and In a statement just issued he urges young men without dependents to Join the colors. "Camp Lewis, where many juano soldiers were trained, Still pos sesses facilities for military training." said Governor Davis, "and In addition it is the policy of the war department to enable men serving in the army to undertake studies or work at various trades, to improve their academic standing or Increase their earning capacity after discharge. For the benefit of citizens of this state I call attention to the educational opportunities afforded through service in the army and believe that young men not yet committed to any profes sion or trade can well spend a year in military training." The question of the state's right to regulate air navigation and to prescribe rules by which airplanes may travel from point to point has come up with the Incorporation of the first airplane operating concern in Idaho, the Idaho Aeroplane & Motor company, which is operating a Curtiss machine In Boise, accepting passengers for travel about the city and is prepared to engaged in a a-eneral airplane business. It is believed that the public utilities commission has Jurisdiction, but the attorney general's department will have to decide that point. The common carrier law. under which the com mission operates, gives It Jurisdiction over "any means of conveyance." Com mon carriers are required In this state to put up a bond of IJOOO for the safe conduct of passengers.

If the embargo is maintained, they say. they will lose a large amount of money, while a vast amount of badly needed food will be spoiled. They now have more than jnoo cars of early potatoes ready to ship. Pressure Is being brought to bear on the railroad administration to re lieve the embargo and it is believed that when the true situation is seen it will be lifted. Information has been filed In the district court in this county against Charles S. Moody, former adjutant general of the state, whose department was Investigated by the last legisla ture. He is charged with filing a false certificate to secure payment of a bill for $1783 for expenses for a trip from Boston to Washington, D. C, and return in 1918. .Moody asserts that extra expense was caused In his department because of frequent trips he was required to make at the request of the provost marshal general. He defied the legis lative Investigating committee to find anything irregular in his record. RECEPTION PLANS MM SEATTLE LAYS ELABORATE OCT- LIN E FOB FLEET REVIEW.' Northwestern Governors and Pre' mier of British Colombia Are ' Expected to Be Present. LAND SALE IS SOUGHT MRS. LOCISA LYCAU OF TEXIXO MADE DEFEXDAXT. Plaintiff Allege This Price Is Many Times Former Worth of Moclips Oil Property. ABERDEEN". Wash., Aug. 23. (Spe cial.) Suit has been brought here against Mrs. Louisa I.ycan of Tenino to compel her to accept 110.000 for 22 acres of land at Mtclips, which lies near the well being drilled by the Standard Oil company. This amounts to 1454.60 an acre, about 25 times what the land could have been purchased for six months ago before the oil boom started. The complainants are Thomas C. Aid- well and Harry C Peat of Seattle, and Hubert Chabot of Moclips, who allege that Mrs. Lvcan agreed to accept $10,000 for her land. Standard Oil officials would not give out the exact depth of the well today, but said that it was down around 400 feet. On Wednesday at midnight the tool rope broke, leaving the tools In the hole, and now a fishing Job is In progress to recover them. At the 400-foot level 15 Vi casing was atill in use. Considerable difficulty has been encountered in getting through the soft formation which, it is be lieved, a rotary would have penetrated quickly. Boring In the old Jefferson Oil com pany hole In Jefferson county will be' resumed Monday, officials of the Swas tika Oil company, which now holds that property, announced today. The hole, when left by the bankrupt Jefferson company 11 was down IOCS feet. Boring will be resumed at that depth with six inch casing in use. W. R. Hill, superintendent of the Swastika company, left for the well this morning with the last supplies needed to get the plant in operation. During the past week the workers at the well have been forcing water down the eix inch casing and letting it come up. soaking up the exterior walls. By this process it is hoped that the six inch casing can be freed. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 24. (Special.) With word from Secretary of the Navy Daniels to Admiral Rodman, com manding the. Pacific fleet, that he wished to have as large a review of the warships at Seattle and Tacoma as the one planned for San Francisco,- the general fleet committee of this city this week extended its plans to include the mportant functions attendant upon such a formality. Arrangements to entertain the gov ernors of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming and the premier of British Columbia will be placed in the hands of a special commijLtee, this separate body also to include in its preparations the reception to Secretary Daniels and his party. The governing officials of the states mentioned and of British Columbia, to gether with their wives and personal parties, will review the fleet with Sec retary Daniels from the historic battle- ship Oregon. Captain X. C. Twining, chief of staff of Admiral Rodman, al ready has begun perfecting arrange ments for the fleet's itinerary north of San Francisco, where a review will take place September 1. The information service In Seattle, attendant upon the fleet's visit, has been placed wholly in the hands of the Seattle Daily Times by Chairman James Lansbury of the committee for accom modating visiting civilians. Jnforma tion booths will be scattered through out the city and every point upon which out-of-town visitors wish information will be handled by the expert staff of the Times. Special arrangements are being made by this committee to care for mothers and relatives of officers and men of the fleet, prior to the fleet's arrival In Se attle. Every facility in the city will be uptillzed to effect quick communication between civilian relatives and friends with the fleet personnel. Information arrangements will cover the handling of mail destined for the fleet with full particulars to civilians interested as to the ships on which any individual sailor may be stationed, the location of that ship in the harbor, fa cilities .for reaching the ship, hours during which visitors may be received and the time and place at which sailors will be given shore liberty. In this wav relatives will be accorded exceptionally prompt means of getting In touch with their menfolk aboard ship, either by going directly to the various war ves sels or by being at the pier at which the men disembark when coming ashore. a barbecue and band concerts are the tentative programme.
