o New Building

By A. L. LINDBECK
SALEM. The new building which
the state will erect an property be
ing acquired just north of the capitol
site will be combined office and li
brary building. This was decided at
a meeting of the Capitol Reconstruc
tion commission with the Board of
Control here Saturday. The new
structure which will be approxi
mately 100 by 200 feet and three
stories high will cost approximately
$739,000. It will be finished in mar
ble to match the capitol building if
that material can be had at the ar
chitect's estimate. Otherwise Indiana
limestone will be substituted.
While the plans for the new struc
ture will make provision for the ac
commodation of a number of other
state departments it will be so ar
ranged that the entire building may
be converted into library uses in the
future if necessary. Provision will
be made in the immediate plans to
take care of library expansion for at
least 12 years.
Whitehouse & Church, Portland
architects, who are designing the
new structure, expressed doubts as
to their ability to complete the plans
by November 1, the deadline set by
the Public Works administration
which is contributing $450,000 tow
ard the construction cost to supple
ment the $550,000 appropriation vot
ed by the last legislature.
The board also gave its approval
to the Capitol commission's plans
for the construction of a power and
heating plant to serve the entire
capitol group and for the landscap
ing of the newly acquired property
according to plans submitted by the
designers of the new capitol. These
plans include widening of Summer
street to provide a more dignified
approach to the capitol, construction
of mirror pools and the planting of
shrubs and trees in the parkings and
on the building sites. Governor Mar
tin told the Capitol commission that
the State Highway department would
take over most of the proposed land
scaping program, thus saving most
of the $57,000 estimated cost of this
program which will thus be avail
able for expenditure on the new
building.
The Capitol commission at Satur
day's meeting revealed that it plans
to not only purchase the entire block
of property north of the capitol site
and west of Summer street on which
the ew building is to be located but
the half block bordering on Sum
mer street just east of that property
and the corner lots on the two blocks
to the north. This will permit of im
mediate widening of the capitol ap
proach, it was explained.
Oregon's relief roll hit a new low
in the five-year history of the state
relief committee during August, ac
cording to a report submitted to
Governor Martin by Elmer Goudy,
relief administrator. Only 6418 per
sons were on direct relief throughout
the state in August, the report shows.
That is a decrease of 1141 from July
and 429 fewer than were on relief in
August, 1936. Goudy said that he
expected little if any change in the
relief situation for September.
More than 6800 Oregon motorists
have been refused operator's per
mits this year, according to Secre
tary of State Snell. Examiners for
the motor vehicle operator s division
have rejected 2217 because they did
not know how to drive, 2121 were
turned down because of ignorance of
the traffic laws, 1540 applicants were
found to have defective vision and
512 had other physical or mental
handicaps. Twenty-three applicants
were found to be epileptics. Twenty
two could not interpret road signs.
Numerous improvements at the
state fair grounds will be made pos
sible as a result of the financial suc
cess of the fair this year, according
to Leo Spitzbart, manager. One of
the improvements to be undertaken
immediately will be the construc
tion of an extension to the new live
stock pavilion. Cash receipts at the
fair this year exceeded $80,000, top
ping 1936 receipts by more than $10,

the week and the wagering on the
horse races, totalling $93,776, far ex

It takes the average motorist three
fourths of a second to react to an
emergency, according to "reactom
eter" tests made at the state fair
under the direction of Secretary of
State Snell. In that three-fourths
of a second an automobile travelling
at a speed of 40 miles an hour will
cover a distance of 44 feet, plus an
additional 88 feet after the motorist
has reacted to the emergency and
applied the brakes.

Adventure Is Coming
In The American Boy
Readers who like adventure and
the lure of far places will find plen
ty to please them in coming issues
of THE AMERICAN BOY Magazine.
They'll read, for instance, of sea
men and sabotage and San Francisco
water-front trouble; of, daring ad
venture in the world of pseudo-science,
and of a fued aboard a plung
ing, rolling battleship.
They'll read, too, of excitement
aboard a transport plane blaring
over jungled Mexican mountains,
and of stranger planes that are not
bound to earth but swing through
the noiselessness of space. Readers
can follow a young ex-Mountie as
he searches for clues in the wild
northlands, and Tierney, the pie
eating detective, on the trail of city
criminals.
A new feature of THE AMERI
CAN BOY is picture pages that tell
stories. Pictures, for instance, that
vividly show a day in the life of a
coast guardsman, and how an Eski
mo husky sled dog does his work.
They transmit the thrill of battling
a hundred pound, water-churning
tarpon. Tips on how it's done are
also given pictorially ranging from
how to run a broken field to how
to be correct in a ballroom!

AMERICAN BOY will be raised in

LT. DONNELLY TAKES LIONS
THROUGH AVIATION SCHOOL
Continued from First Page
ing. Lt. Donnelly drew "attack" and
graduated with a class of 27, out of
the 135 beginners with whom he
started, indicating the student mor
tality. The mortality, however, was
through failure in studies rather
than by death.
When his class started at Kelly
they were informed that under the
law of averages which had so far
prevailed two of their number would
lose their lives in training ship
flights. Fortunate, not one life was
lost in his class, though to date since
graduation six classmates had suc
cumbed to the hazards of flying.
His narrowest escape he cited as
one time while flying across the
desert of New Mexico he ran out of
gas and had to make a forced land
ing in dangerous country. The ship
went over on its back and he was
two days without food or water be
fore a cowboy arrived on the scene
to help him out. He escaped serious
injury, though was cut and bruised
considerably.
The lieutenant's story was related
without show of egotism, and his
winning manner of speech kept his
audience tense as they received the
picture of making an army aviator.
There was much more reference to
different parts of the training, and
anecdotes of experience, more or less
serious.
One of the lighter stories classic at
Kelly was anent two Chinese stu
dents who had finished a few years
before he arrived? They were sent
on a flying mission northwest of the
field. They were not heard of for
several days when a telegram ar
rived from Corpus Christi, far to the
south, which read: "Lost, but know
where we are."
Lions were specially honored at
the luncheon by being privileged to
partake of the blue-ribbon water
melon exhibited at North Morrow
County fair at Irrigon last week end.
It was brought from the fair by
Sheriff C. J. D. Bauman as a gift
from the grower, Frank Leicht.
Weighing 51 pounds, the melon pro
vided more than enough for every
one to eat, though the manner in
which it disappeared paid high trib
ute to its excellent quality.
Robert Knox, physical education
director, and Kenneth McKenzie,
assistant physical education direct
or for the grades, were introduced
as guests from the school. The club
voted its support to the petition
asking for improved mail service for
Heppner.
