Within 90 days a Richfield
beacon light and service station
is to be under construction on
South Commercial Ktreet ac
cording to advance announce
nifnt made by the Richfield
company which several month
as acquired a suitable site lo
cally for its Salem station.
While the oil company will
nut erect hotels it 1 expected to

of its various service stations.
LOS ANGELES April 17.
First announcement that serried
stations of the Richfield' Airway
beacon chain In the northwest will
be of Norman architecture, in
striking contrast to the Spanish
style of the stations In California,
was made in Los Angeles by W. H.
Cotrel, service statlcn manager
for the Richfield Oil company.
The announcement eame as a
surprise in view of previously pub
lished statements that the Ideal
stations of the great Richfield
Neon "Lane of Light' from Mexi
co to Canada would be uniform in
design.
Conform With Nature
The contrasting character of
the natural beauty of the north
west was ascribed by Cotrel for
the decision to vary the type of
design. He showed press repre
sentatives preliminary sketches
showing the purposed stations' de
sign marked by the sharply tower
ing roofs and timbered walls char
acteristic of Norman construction.
"The beauty 4jVashington and
ff.eg'on is a rugged one gigantic
forests, towering hills, mighty
rivers." explained Cotrel. "It is
different from the more langorous
charm of Eouthern California with
its placid sea, palmed hillsides and
Spanish-like atmospher. This dif
ference our artists have caught,
we believe. In the contrasting do-,
sisn for the airway-highway sta
tions south of Ml Shasta, and
those north of that point.
Type Distinctive
"The low-built, white stucco,
red-tile-roofeddesign of the south
em stations, Spanish-American in
tone, is most suitable to Califor
nio. Just as appropriate equally
as beautiful will be the distlnc

Within the next 90 days. It is
announced, beacons and towers
will rise at 11 points in Washing
ton and Oregon while the service
stations will follow these beacon
towers as rapidly as construction
plans will permit.
In this connection, Sfr. Cotrel
took occasion to deny a rumor
that Richfield has been planning
the contraction of hotels t the
beacon sites. He explained:
"Highway Communities, Ine.,
the company working with lis on
the plan for this monster chain of
stations and towers of light, ex
pects to grant leases for various
construction. Hotel leases n o t
Richfield win put up roadside
hostelries, it may be anticipated,
while garages, restaurants, and
other concessions are sure to fol
low. Richfield, however, Is not
in the hotel business we are con
cerned only with aiding aviation
with our beacon chain and sup
plying motorists with convenient
service-comfort stations."

Morria It the ton af Dr. and Ifra. Henry
E. Morria of this city. The other euar
for f irtt award waa written hy Mra. J. Ik
atriciciana of Hubbard. Young Morria'
essay it called "Salem, a Community f
Community Builder" :
Salem, the cherry city, the city
beautiful, looms Into view as the
great Fokker monoplane roars
down the fertile valley of the Wil
lamette. It is an inspiring sight
that one sees. In the center of
the city is the capitol and the su
preme court building, surrounded
by their luxurious grounds.
We circle the city, slowly vola
planing down to Salem's wonder
ful new airport. We land and are
Immediately whisked away to a
fine new hotel. We spend a rest
ful night and awaken the next
morning, feeling happy and . in
perfect physical condition. An ex
cellent meal is set before us, and
before we rise from the table we
hare consumer a meal of excellent
Oregon products. A car from the
chamber of commerce is placed at
our disposal as well as an ener
getic young business man whoJs
to act as our guide.
We leave the chamber of com
mere and drive eastward up
State street. Presently we see to
our left the . state house and the
supreme court building. The state
house grounds contain a wonder
ful botanical garden, having an
excellent collection of the - trees
and shrubs known to North Amer
ica.
To our right we see the Wil
lamette "university, an excellent
liberal arts school and the best
law school in Oregon.
We enter the capitol building
and take the elevator to the
fourth floor, from which we climb
up steep Iron stairs to the cupola,
Due east we can see the state
penitentiary, which houses 700
prisoners. It Is altogether self
supporting and produces much
lime and flax and other articles
of commerce, due to its skilled
convict labor. Bordering the
state penitentiary and just to the
north lies the Insane asylum. This
houses the more dangerous ' and
criminally insane persons. It has,
Including the asylum farm, nearly
1500 inmates. Then, turning
aside from the state institutions,
we see within our midst fine res
idences. Salem 1 known, aa the .
"city beautiful" and Its Xlne homes
certainly Justify that, appellation.
Finally we leave the state house
and visit -the various Industrial
sites of the city. There are ten
canneries In the city, two of which
are perhaps the largest in Oregon.
One of them, the Hunt Bros, can
aery, nut out a world's record
pack of SI 2,0 00 cans in 24 hours.
These cans, if placed end to end,
would reach from Salem to Al
bany. We visit the Oregon Pulp
Pand Paper company, a thriving
paper concern with an excellent
business future,' It produces linen
cloth equal to the best Irish linen.
Another textile concern is the Kay
Woolen mills whose goods are of
premier quality. And last, but
not least, we visit the gigantic
taw mill, the C. K. Spaulding mill,
which supplies the building ma
terials for. tie larger share of tha
upper Willamette Ttlley.
Time grows short and we must
leave. There are yet many minor
Industries which our lack ot time
will not permit us to view. We
have had time only -to see the
largest concerns. "Sed tempos
fuglt." and we must go.
Again we re whisked "to the
airport. . Another great Fokker
monoplane roars : out ot the sky
to come to a perfeet .three-point
landing before us. ' We climb
aboard and wavt farewell. Our
plane heads Into the wind and we
are circling the city. We look
down and see the city, green with
its tree's and shrubs, colorful with
Its wonderful flowers. We look
aside for a moment We look back
and the city has faded form view.
It has vanished like a dream, but
the memory lingers still.
And my thought turning back
to the fair city I had left, I pon
dered upon the beautiful example
of community spirit It had shown.
The Inhabitants of Salem had,
through brotherly spirit and co
operation, given It great enter
prises, fair homes, and real beauty
thus forming an ideal In eommun
ity and personal relationships of
which the noblest philosophers
would say "Ne plus ultra."
