AVIATORS TO i BE
TAXED FOR USE OF
LANDING FIELD
Aviators elsewhere may escape the'
zpense of maintaining: landing fields
for their embryonic industry.. bu
not so in Portland, and a a. result
Of that decision an ordinance pro
posing:' fees for the use iof Broom
field, tho municipal landing- field,
will be presented to the' city coun
cil Wednesday. , j
Commissioner Pier, whose department
supervises the field, declares that con-
. staatly increasing demands f.re being
made upon the facilities there by Oregon
aviators and by frequently! entertained
. visitors. Several planes regularly use
the f field and daily commercial ftlers
from elsewhere land there. Including the
forest Ire patrol planes, j
An effort to determine a jfair basis of
charges for the use of thej- field, failed
when Commissioner Pier discovered that
the few cities where municipal fields are
maintained have not yet reached that
stage in air development where fees can
- .be asked. Therefore, a scale of prices
has been proposed. v i
The field will be open to the free use
of all fliers for" one weekj Thereafter
each plane will be aekd to pay $15 a
month to aid in upkeep of the field and
to pay the caretaker who is constantly
on the ground, attending the needs of
fliers and supplying therm with oils,
water . and . other necessities.
Broomfleld has cost the city $3000 and
is said to be splendidly equipped for
Its purposes. It "has four tent hangars
available tor the use of aviators and
their ships and for those! who use a
hangar a . total charge of $25 a month
Wilt be made to cover all expense.

Medford, Aug. 21. Incidental to the
recent wrecking of the Bank of Jackson
ville by its president, a movement 1 un
der way to . have the Jackson county

"The recent collapse of the Jackson

touring car. dashed through a cordon
of police at Barneyville wheri the chase
started, the police pursuing the rob

The bandits car "turned ' into Wash

such speed that at times it seemed
near overturning. J The police machines
put on top speed,-but the robbers' car
was too fast for them until, reaching the
Plum Tree road, it suddenly stalled.
The battle kept on while the surviving
bandits dragged their dead into the
dense woods Just off the road. The po
lice immediately threw a cordon 'around
the wood and expect to capture the
four or five surviving robbers before
the night is over.

GEIS ABOUT PIPE,
CORONER! ASSERTS
When Herbert lOels, IS -year-old
son of Mr. anu Mrs. Charles Gels of
580 East Salmon j street, took his
fatal dive Into the Willamette river
at the East Lincoln street power sta
tion of the P. R., l. & P. company.
it was contrary to Warnings shouted
to him by carpenters working on the
dock and barges near by. . ?r
This was the conclusion of Deputy
Coroner Leo Goetsch Saturday after
interviewing several men who saw the
accident that cost the. life of the lad.
Gels' body was recovered late Friday
rrom the machinery - of the pumping
system nearly 100 feet back from the
river where he had been sucked n by
the Intakak nln for itho nvillnir intern
of the big condensers!.
Goetsch declared he could find no evi
dence of criminal negligence on the part
of anyone. He found no warning signs
at the place, however, and had not in
vestigated whether or not the openings
in such suction pipes are legally re
quired to be screened.
A. F. Krupke. 338 Glenn avenue, fore
man of the carpenters working on the
dock when the boy Snd his companions,
Paul McNewar and William Brown,
were diving, denied to Goetsch that any
of his men had offered a reward to the
boy who could put ia rope around the
base of the pipe. Instead, he 'declared,
he had warned the hoys away from the
dangerous suction, but they had disre
garded his , warning.)
The body, badly rjiutilated, is at the
morgue. - f
