The condition is "made, in line with the recommendations of aviation au thorities, that responsibility's assumed only when Tthe in sured is riding as a passengrer in a licensed airplane, operated by licensed pilot,- upon a regular passenger route between established airports. . i Aviation has developed, chiefly under the impetus of pri vate capital, to a point where it now serves millions of .people fa this country, Drs; Sykes and Smith declare; The mail airways alone, on September -1, of this year, were serving 65,677,209 people. '!'' Evidence of the tremendous progress made by. aviation is found in the establishment of new airports. By the end of this year,; approximately one thousand airports s and inter mediate fields will be in existence fa all parts of the United j States.' More than j fifty airports have been recently, com pleted while, twice that number of cities have set aside funds or have begun plans for modern terminals. , raiffll SLTi'S o HDDS GOfULMlEll Mystery of Brutal Murder of . Recluse Believed Solved Last Nisht There was an important tour conducted by the members of the state board of control yesterday through the indu tries at the-Oregon penitentiary ! J ' -' " The party conducted being representatives of the four dnily newspapers of Portland, and Salem newspaper men. They found much recent progress. - ' . They found in the machine shops -a flax pulling machine being dismantled in order to get the designs for the building of flax pulling machines fa that plant.! These, it is estim ated, can be built there at a saving of , about $600 on each machine to the state flax industry. This will make a jiew industry here. It will provide a cheaper way to furnish additional machines, so necessary fa the development of the flax industry in this valley. Absolutely necessary. " . They found the management of the prison preparing to enter on the making of socks for that institution, which may lead to making socks for the otherstate institutions. The hbpr (of the 14 women prisoners is to be utilized. Thus they will be taken out of a state of idleness, to-the vast benefit of the women themselves, and for the good of the state. They found the flax industry, using every part of the flax grown on our farms - ' . Excepting the perfume of the flowers of the flax as they i flaunt their blue loveliness in the fields in the June and July breezes. " . . : f v - . ' I ' There Is the making of long line (or "hne" fiber, the turning out of the spinning tow, and the paper stock, and the upholstering tow, and ground seed for the drug trade, and the whole seed for the same trade and for planting and the rnalribig of linseed oil ' "s' . And the new product fa the shape of stock feed from the bo!l3 and smaD seeds, etc This will run to a value of , $125 a day, from by-products that were mostly formerly burned. And there is the using of the shives of the flax for fuel; the woody substances after the fiber is taken off. " , The party found the lime plant in full blast, turning out CO tons a day of agricultural lime. And this must be doubled and doubled again and again, to provide the sour soils of the valley and coast counties .with the' sweetness that will rend er them productive of .the crops that are "destinedto make thi3 the most prosperous section of thV globe r" " -- .'.- ' . .--'aaBiBBiaBaaiaaaa - aj w... -'' - ' '- ' ! ; They found "all the other industries being brought up to a state of efficiency. There is a population of 608 at the prison, a high water mark, and every able bodied man is Dusy and 'generally .contented in being busy. And efficient. ; The efficiency is to be increased. : For one thing, by, a new scutching machine already on the way from England, that is to show the way to make independent, retting and scutching plants profitable, all over -this valley r And in various other ways there is to be greater efficiency. to prepare for the taking care of the coming larger acreage of flax; to reduce the overhead; to give greater production per capita - v - . :y ' Finally to make the institution self supporting as contem plated when the legislature enacted the revolving fund law. The above," from the Dearborn Independent, the magazine of Henry Ford, makes up a summary that is interesting And it is a reminder, that Salem must be about the busi ness of providing ari adequate and convenient airport; one that will accommodate - all kinds of flying .machines. - . . The conquest of the air is going on; it will go on.without end, and almost without limit. IRnry Ford uses airplanes extensively fa the1 transportation of parts between "his fac tories and assemblingi plants'; througnputllie country, and for other schemes of quick transportation. His vision shows him that the navigation of the air is one of.the big things of this age, to grow bigger with the years. I Salem must do everything and be everything in the do main of t progressive city, bound to develop steadily into metropolitan proportions, and to so develop the more rapidly with such a progressive spirit as will direct our destiny along the most practically progressive lines. There should be nothing too good for Salem, nor too big in the domain of conservative reason. VERDICT TO Sill! -III SHE'S CSSE 000, providing for 12 new teach ers.

COMMITTEE JOINS FIGHT And there was a word of encouragement from State Treas urer T.; B. Kay,- concerning the emerging from the experi mental stages of the two linen mills in Salem. " : With a few things cleared away; with a little more money to wipe out debts and provide. working capital, the stage of profits will be reached . ; J Perhaps modest profits at first But looking to big things fa the future, with the coming cf specialty plants to take care of part of the primary output, the yarn, that is now going mostly to eastern mills, and their products coming back here. " - , Here is the conclusion: , If the people of Oregon could all eee what the newspaper people saw; yesterday, the .extra 100,000 fa bonds of the second Salem linen mill would be in the bank tomorrow, and $100,000 more provided, if needed, to put the institution ahead to the profitable productive stage at once, to which it is now groping And the next : legislature would . make an appropriation fcr capital investment that would at once make the Oregon penitentiary self supporting " ' ... , ; - That would lift the burden of its support forever from the thoulders of the taxpayers. , ' ,"" ' There is no other one; thing that would pay as large a 7 ro f i t for the providing of that much state money; and it would not be a great sum, S Perhaps 200,000 would do it That is the way Minnesota did, in 1004 ; provided the whole ; urii at'once, and the penitentiary of that state at Stillwater l.r 3 not cost Minnesota taxpayers a cent since 1905, and there hove 3,000,000 in the revolving fund, and it' could be in; BALTIMORE, Not.
