ination practiced by the Dutch govern
ment against American Interests (prac

Heads Campaign to Establish
National Air-Routing System.
i By Harry I, Rogers
Washington, May 31. (I. N. S.)-
Air service officers, headed by Briga
dier General William Mitchell, to-
,jday launched a campaign for a cen
tralized air service and the estab
lishment of a national system of air
ways whichthey believe is necessary
If aviation is to be properly devel
oped and -repetitions of the fatal
crash which resulted in the death of
seven at Indian Head, Md., last Sat
urday, avoided.
General Mitchell has mapped out a
proposed system of air ways which he
believes will meet all present require
ments. It provides for five main air
routes and a number of secondary
routes, with airdromes and landing fields
at frequent intervals along them. Four
of the main air ways parallel 1 the
boundaries of the United States while
the fifth crosses the. continent, about
midway between the northern and south
ern boundariea
COCRSE ALONG PACIFIC 5 '
The proposed airway along the ' Pa
cific coast extends from Seattle to San
Diego with fully equipped landing, re
pair and fuel stations at Portland, Eu
prene, Ashland. Redding, San Francisco,
Merced. Fresno, Bakersfield and : Los
Angeles. The eastern route reaches from
Portland, Maine, o Key West. Fla. ;
The southern route would follow the
Mexican border from San Diego to
Brownsville with numerous Intermediate
stations, thence to San Antonio.. Galves
ton and along the gulf coast to New Or
leans, Montgomery and Savannah. '
The northern route proposed "by Gen
eral Mitchell takes its beginning at
Bingham ton, N. .T., with the junction of
lines from Boston and Mlneola. thence
proceeds to Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago,
La Crosse, Minneapolis. Bismarck, Bill
ings, Helena, Missoula and Spokane.
THE CE5TTBAI. KOUTE , k
The central route. Joining the Atlantic
coast airway at Washington, proceeds
westward toward ' Pittsburg, Columbus,
Indianapolis, Springfield. St. Ixuls.
Kansas City. Topeka, Cheyenne. Raw
lins. Green River, Salt Lake City and
Reno, joining the Pacific route at. San
Francisco. ; . t . ; -
These main routes are Inter-connected
by cross routes so that most of the im
portant cities of the United States are
included. Salt Lake City, for example,
is an important junction point, being not
only on the main central routed but also
on an airway from Los Angeles to Spo
kane by way of Goldfield and Boise.
Similarly. St. , Louis, besides being on
the central line, is on an important north
and south route which connects Chicago
with Montgomery, Ala., and the southern
and Atlantic routea ;
It is understood that an effort will be
made to put legislation through con
gress authorizing the establishment of
such a system of airways.

DISARM
FEELERS' SENT
Harding Sought to Sound Atti
tude of World Powers on Ques
tion of Conference Before Sen
ate Passed Borah Resolution.
Washington, May 31. (U. , P.)--Informal
"feelers" looking toward
the discussion of disarmament be
tween the world powers have been
put out at the instance of President
Harding, it. was learned today.
This action, it is understood, was
taken before the senate passed the Borah
resolution "fealling" for a disarmament
conference.? .
Although details of the plan have not
been divulged, it was said that President
Harding has suggested informally to
the great powers that the question be
considered by the supreme council. ; He
'believes this method more satisfactory
than an attempt to settle the question at
a special disarmament conference.
The president, according to best in
dications today, still holds the view
that Borah's resolution would unduly
tie the hands of the executive.
At the time of the appointment of
Colonel George Harvey as ambassador
to Great Britain, it was announced .'
that he would be instructed to broach
the subject of a disarmament agree
ment abroad. Information obtained to
day indicated that . the first step in
carrying out this course has already
taken place.
SPENCE ADVOCATES
COOPERATIVE PLAN
Eugene. .Or., May 31. (XJ. P.)
Cooperative marketing and distri
bution, taxation, transportation prob
lems and financing were the high
Ughts of Master C. E. Spence's
speech to the Oregon state grange
delegates assembled here this after
noon on the first day of the four-day
sessiofTof the grange.
He told the assembled delegates, who
numbered about 360, Chat it was through
the cooperative marketing associations,
such as the Eugene Fruit Growers'
association and the various dairying and
poultry associations of the state that the
greatest amount of. return would be
made to the farmer, and the' cheapest
prices given the consuming market : It
meant an elimination of the middleman,
he said. . .
RATES ARE HANDICAP
Unless railroad rates are reduced, he
said, farmers will lose much mon'ey. He
said that in some' places rates were so
high that it did not pay the agricultur
ist to send his produce to market.
S pence said that the way to reduce
rates was not to reduce the wages ot
the employes,- and particularly the
wages of the .common laborers, as
they are the best customers of the
farmers. He advocated some way to
cut down the alleged inflation of val
ues (watered stock). so that a real
valuation could be secured from which
to figure just and reasonable profits
and fix rates accordingly. S pence also
felt, he said, that expense could be
pruned in many executive departments
of the railroad companies. -
In order to reduce the burden of
taxation for the farmer, he advocated
an income tax for Oregon. He said
there is too much wealth that, is es
caping taxation and the property own
ers are having too much of the burden
laid on their shoulders.
LIVESTOCK OX PARADE
All of the officers are present, accord
ing to Master Spence, except Mra Carrie
Sales. Pomona, of Clatsop county. She
will be unable to attend.
' The roll call was held at 10 o'clock
this morning and a parade, featuring
pure bred livestock, was given for the
entertainment of -the visitprs at 11
o'clock. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the
officers and the credentials committee
made their re porta ,
At 6 :30 o'clock tonight, at two of Eu
gene's largest churches, a banquet will
be tendered the visitors by the Chamber
of Commerce and a reception held aft
erwards in the auditorium of the First
Christian church.
Addresses of welcome 'were made on
the part of Eugene and Lane county or
ganizations by President P. L. Campbell
of the University of Oregon, C. IX
Rorer, president of the Bank ot Com-.
roerce, and Dean H. Walker, city coun-j
cilman.
Master Spence of the State Grange
and Wi W. Wing, master of Lane Po
mona grange, ' gave the response.
$5,000,000,000 Is
Need of Electrical
" Men, Says Insull
Chicago, May 31. (J. N. S.) A work
ing capital of $5,000,000,000 will be
needed by the electric light and power
industry within the. next five years to
meet - demands upon it by the public,
according to Martin J. Insull, -vice
president of the Middle West Utilities
company, today.
- Mr. Insull, addressing the Opening' of
the 'convention of the National Electric
Light associations, declared electrical
progress Would . cost the companies
$1,000,000,000 a year for the next five
years. Hundreds of electrical "wizards
from all parts of the country attended
the convention.
This enormous sum. Insull said, would
be ' spent- to electrify steam railroads,
utilize available water power" through
out the nation and to establish gigantic
"super power systems" linking all elec
trical distributing companies.
PRES DENT
WILL
Sellwood and Tabor Numbers to
Be Transferred to Arleta Ex
change Saturday; $4,000,000
in Improvements Is Proposed.
The , Pacific Telephone & Tele
graph company - is preparing to cut
between 1500 and 1600 telephones
from the " Sellwood, Tabor and 'B"
automatic exchanges into the new
Arleta automatic exchange lead next
Saturday night, C. E." Hickman, com
mercial superintendent, , announced
today.. :
Practically all the subscribers whose
telephones are to be changed Saturday
night from the manual to the auto
matic systems have been apprised of
the change, as an additional instru
ment has been installed in their home.
These subscribers will use the manual
instrument until late Saturday night.
Beginning ; Sunday morning they will
use the automatic. After Sunday the
manual instruments will be removed.
He said the work of transferring the
subscribers now served through the
Tabor, Sellwood and B" automatic ex
changes to the Arleta lead is a part
of an extensive program undertaken
by his company in which it is expected
that $3,000,000 or $4,000,000 will be
spent in Portland during the next three
years. .
The new Irvington Exchange building
at Twenty-fourth' and Stanton, will be
opened some time next year. It will
serve many stations' now handled
through the Woodlawn, Tabor and C"
automatic exchanges.
2JEW SWITCHES iySTALLED
Eight new sections of switchboard are
being installed at the Broadway ex
change for the purpose of taking care of
3500 stations which are to be transferred
to it from the Main exchange.
Many other Improvements are planned,
Hickman said, but . the new exchanges
are being developed by -units with a view
to taking care of rapidly growing busi
ness. ,
"We expect to spend $3,000,000 or
$4,000,000 in making, improvements, but
we can't spend the money this year or
next because It is impossible for us to
get the necessary materials, bu the im
provement will be made just 's -rapidly
as possible," he leclared.
7 The . new Arleta exchange is7 located
at Foster road and Seventy-second
street. ' The first ! telephones were cut
into it last December. .
TO REARRANGE SERVICE
In transferring the Tabor, Sellwood
and "B" automatic stations to the Ar
leta exchange, the company is endeav
oring . to rearrange the service with a
view to carrying forward further ex
tensions. In keeping with the policy of
extending the service, several hundred
telephones now served by . Tabor, East
and "C" automatic - exchanges will be
cut Into the New Irvington exchange
when it la opened next year.
. jOnIy a couple of hours will be re
quired by- the telephone company in cutting-
across the telephones Into the Ar
leta ; exchange Saturday night. Service
on the lines being transferred will not be
interrupted. Hickman declared..
The company has issued a new direc
tory, but because of the changes planned
patrons have been requested not to use
it until - Sunday -morning. It contains
the new numbers which will be served
through the Arleta exchange.

Messengers Warn Farmers of
Danger; 2 Towns' fn Darkness.
Woodland. Wash., May 31.
Breaking of the Woodland district
dike and flooding of rich farming
lands of the district, which occurred
Monday night, will cause a loss to
crops of $100,000, according to esti
mates here, besides $10,000 damage
to the dike and pumping plant.
At least 5000 acres of land are under
water and 150 of the 2000 cattle in the
district remain In 'the flooded lands.
Frantic efforts are being made to rescue
these. Of the aooo.head of cattle. 1000
are dairy animals. -
Many of the approximately 20 farm
ers of the district are remaining in their
homes, which ar.e almost all on hljrh larul
and have not been reached by the floods.
It Is expected, however, that all .will be
driven out, as the water is gradually
rising. .
FARMER LOSES HE-ATI LT
The heaviest loser probably will be
James Kuhnis, who has between 600 and
700 acres of crops under water. F. M.
Lane, former county commissioner, has
15 head of dairy cattle in the flooded dis
trict. EL W. Robinson,7 diking commis
sioner, will also be a heavy loser.
- The.- majority of those affected are
renters. One farmer;- when he heard ef
the breaking of the dike exclaimed, "I've
-borrowed $8000 from a Woodland bank.
I don't want to hear any more."
As far as can be learned, no one was
killed or injured. The water averages
about a foot deep on the greater part of
the farm lands and in the lower sections
is much deeper.
The dike broke at 8:45 o'clock and
every available automobile was pressed
into service to supplement the telephones
in warning farmers to seek safety.
Woodland and K a lama were thrown into
darkness when electric power wires were
carried away,
BREAK AT CREEK '

In his bill that this army officer, tijfn
into debt by his desire to earn rttgy's
favor by satisfying her inordinate-craving
for Jewels, committed suicide In a
Turkish bath.
Of almost eoual Interest is the charge
that Peggy's "alibi letter" produced-by
her to prove her alleged divorce from her
first husband, Kverett Archibald, took
place before her marriage to Phllbrlck
Hopkins, Is a false Instrument. This" let
