- The bare fact that Oreson Lin
en Mills, Inc.; Is successfully man
ufacturing ' and marketing linen
yarn, is sufficient evidence that
linen doth can be produced just
as successfully. If the company's
financing is completed so that the
weaving , department . can be ade
quately equipped and organised.
That is the opinion of T. A, Lives-
iler, mayor of Salwra and rice pres-
laeni oi me unen mm company.
The company now hat an. ex-
perlenee'l and efficient superinten
dent In charge of the spinning de
partment, and In R. O. SneiJingit
tiaa a capable general manager In
charge ot sales promotion ami oth
er business details- said Mr Lives
ley; hat due to the failure to com
plefe faaclng. the directors have
never been able 4o turn theft -at
tentlon to putting the weaving de
partment on a running basis.1
i Wants Entire Process !
' But Mr, Llvesley does not .'take
rery kindly to the suggestion that
the plant be made an exclusive
spinning factory, selling all of its
reluct to be woven in mills in
Vi2- of the country, : '

ley Is convinced; and even if this
were not so, ;he will not be con

be possible and practicable to

.-.-T :.. location Advantageous ',

the fact that the Salem mill la in

"If the machinery and the man

question about the suecesa of the

auditors who .have been - investi
gating theibobka of., the various
sand and gravel concerns which
have been operating on the Co
lumbia, river.
The report of the auditors
showed that the 13 concerns oper
ating on the Columbia river had
removed from the stream approx
imately 2,741,208 cubic yards ot
sand, during the past seven years.
Sales of sand between the oper
ators aggregated 313.644 cubic
yards, leaving the net amount of
sand removed from the river at
2.427.53.-cublc yards. ..The op
erators claim exemption from pay
ment of royalty on 579,234 cubic
yards of sand on the grounds that
this product was used loathe con
struction of streets, roads, and
other public work.
The auditors : explained thatj
their conclusions were based on
sales, , which were cheeked care
fully with the original invoices on
file In the offices of the several
sand and gravel operators. Based
on the royalty fixed by the Oregon
state land board for gravel re

UP) Captain Frederick A. Giles,
British war ace who set out to
day from San Francisco in a trans
Pacific flight, to Australia In
formed the Examiner by telephone
tonight that he had been forced
back after traveling 500 miles to
sea and had landed near the Wil
liam Randolph Hearst ranch at
San Simeon, Cal.
Utterly beyond control, his little
trans-Pacific , biplane when 600
miles at sea. went spinning Into
rain drenched cross currents ot
air and finally turned completl
upBlde down, scattering his cham
nta roods and his instruments into
the ocean below, .Giles said. ,
Saved By Rare Ability
And then, !n what must haver
been a magnificent exhibition of
skill. Captain Giles turned his"
damaged plane right side up again.
made a wild guess as to direction
and sent her roaring back to the
mainland' to make a perfcet and
safe landing a mile south of the
Hearst ranch at San Simeon, EO
miles from San Luis Obispo.
"I never expected to make it,
he said over- the telephone' from
the Hearst ranch tonight. 'jMjr
center section .bracing: wires had .
snapped; I had dumped mv main
gas tanks to lighten the strain on
the broken plane and the chances
were Just about zero. But luck
stayed with me I hit the coast
about sixty miles north of where
I landed, and had to keep my ship
m the air for all of that distance
before I finally found a landing
place at San Simeon."
. Effect of Experience Shown
He stopped for breath. Even
over the telephone, one could catch;
the tremor of nervousness that still
remained in that voice after that
test -perhaps one of the most ter
rifying: experiences any aviator has
