Borne damage was done to a- meat

Circuit Judge McMahan says tbe
county law library should be on the
third floor of the courthouse and
the county court says It should re
main on the fourth floor. Far be it
from us to Jump In between so many
legal luminaries but we always un
derstood the count7 court had Juris
diction over orphans.
Anyway we are glad .the census
was taken before the water com
pany shut down work on its Im
provements.
The census blanks going back to
Washington from Salem will weigh
a ton, says Bob Hendricks, census
supervisor. If Salem were In Rus
sia there would be a trainload.
St. Paul dropped behind a little
In the census from 10 years back.
Probably due to the fact that St.
Paul bootleggers In Jail here were
counted as living In Salem.
A lot of folks have asked us what
that pile of lumber was for which
has been piled up In front of the
First National bank. We understand
it's to build a pagoda for Jimmy
Nicholson to keep him from getting
freckled during the summer months.
County Clerk Boyer was explain
ing to some one over the phone
yesterday at what times of the day
there are rush hours at the court
house. But he overlooked the rush
of employes for the street Just at 5
o'clock.
The farm board which Is in
sisting on pusllcly owned ele
vators should see the publicly ,
owned elevator at the court- '
house In operation once.
Senator Grundy was taken to a
cleaning for re-elecuon in Penn
sylvania for. which nobody In the
country whi be sorry but orundy.
Now If they could pass a law to keep
him out of Washington altogether,
the country would be better- of.
We1 wonder when AI Norblad

If he will pot his coat back on!
Or perhaps he will become known
as the hatless attorney. .
Poor old Claude Ingalls. republi

WAR MOTHERS
GAZE AT GRAVES

Romagne - 8ous Montfaucon,
France, W) Nearly two thirds of
the American Gold Star mothers
looked for the first time Wednesday
on their soldier sons' graves in the
principal American military ceme
tery here. There are burled In. this
cemetery half of- America's war
dead In this country.
The sky Itself was tinged with
sadness and rain cut short the
pilgrimage after an hour. Many of
the mothers had brought evergreen
wreaths, some entwined with flow
ers and others found wreaths ready
for them here. Some brought little
American flags which they placed
on the graves. The mothers, almost
200 of them, went In little groups
to different parts of the cemetery
and there prayed at the graves of
their boys. There was some sob
bing and all were wet-eyed as they
lived over again the day their sons
departed, and long months of
anguished waiting, and the saddest
day of all when came word of
death.
When after an , hour, rainfall
came, the mothers hurried by ac
companying officers to the hostess
house where they comforted each
other and had lunch. .
All of the mothers arrived at
Verdun last night, well but many
were tired. Mayor . Schlelter and
other officials as well as the French
war widows of the region greeted
them.
The city itself had a printed card
of remembrance bearing each
mother's name and the city's coat
of arms. Bony Is such a tiny vil
lage that the mothers go there In
motor cars, returning here each
night where they can be made
comfortable.

Airport Revenues
Lacking Because

By HARRY N. GRAIN
: Salem's municipal airport is not on a revenue producing
basis simply because the council committee in charge of its
operation has failed to make provision for placing it there.
Opened last August, and in at least partial use since that

ties has ever been established, achate - , ' .. -

It Is true, of course, that Jhe

the time of its dedication during
the American Legion convention
last summer and that the "flying
season" had passed before the run
ways had been smoothed out prop- I
erly for use, the hangars built and

IMPROVEMENT
OF COLUMBIA
TURNED DOWN
Washington, D. C. (Jft Disap
proval of the Stelwer bill to author
ize the secretary of war to extend
operations of the Inland Waterways
corporation to the Columbia river
in Oregon, Is voiced by Acting Sec
retary Davison, who has informed
Chairman Johnson that he does not
favor the bill. In expressing disap- i
proval, Davison quoted terms of
the act of June 3, 1924, which spe
cifies that the Inland Waterways
corporation shall operate only on
the Mississippi river and Its tribu
taries, and on the Ohio river.
"The main purpose of the pro
posed law," the acting secretary
wrote, "may then be said to be to
remove any restrictions now exist
ant as to where the secretary of
war may authorize operations by
the Inland Waterways corporation,
but without changing the method
of procedure under which he may
order the extension."
In conclusion, Mr, Davison's let
ter said: "It was clearly the In
tent of congress to limit under ex
isting laws the field of operation of
the Inland Waterways corporation
as outlined above. The war de
partment Is not prepared to rec
ommend legislation which would
permit the secretary of war to ox-
tend these operations to sections
not now authorized by the law.
I, therefore, dd not favor passage
of bill 8 4089." ...
