Construct Storage Res

Tunnel To Applegate
Tributary And Plants.
SALEM, Ore.. .May 26. (fl)
Construction of a storage reservoir
at the point known as the Kerby
reservoir site in Josepme county,
also the construction of a tunnel
nine miles long from the reservoir
to a tributary of ,iilegate river
and to proposed power sites on the
Rogue river, are planned by Clias.
H. he and Romaine V. Meyers of
Oakland, ta., according to an ap
plication filed by them with the
tederal power commission.
fiovernor Xorhlnd was informed
liy the federal power commission to
day that the application had been
filed.
Whether the power development
plans of Lee and Myers on Kogue
river In Josephine county will come
tn conflict with an act of the 1II2II
legislature prohibiting the con
struction of dams in the Rogue and
withdrawing Us water from appro
priation except for irrigation Is a
question to he adjusted in connec
tion with their applcatlon before
the federal power commssion. ac
cording to Stale Engineer l.upcr.
Claim Prior Right
It is understood the two Oakland
men expect to get around the legis
lative act on a prior right basis.
The application Involving the Ker
by site on Illinois river was filed
after the legislative act, but since
that act did not apply to that
stream the tiling was accepted.
Included in the project, however,
are five applications for power
right appropriations on Rogue river
and these were filed before (he
state restriction was enacted. The
stale reclamation commission, ac
cording to Luper, will probably re
fer the Rogue river issue to At
torney General Van Winkle for an
opinion. Should the state commis
sion decide against the promoters
it is presumed they would nppoal to
the courts.
Darr.8 Proposed
The Kerby reservoir application
proposed a storage dam of 1500 sec
ond feet in Applegate river, to be
carried to the Rogue at a point
above five power plant sites on
the Rogue, each Involving construc
tion of a dam. The five sites, each
designated on the blue prints as

German Airship Returns To
Pernambuco For Hop-Off
To United States Sun
day Trip To Rio Janeiro
Unpleasant Feature.
PERNAMBUCO, Brazil, May 26.
P landing a Journey of nearly
2500 miles to Rio Janeiro and back
the Graf Zeppelin at 9:10 o'clock
a. m. today (7:10 K. S. T.), was
moored to Its mast In this city to
begin preparations for flight to
North America,
Two airplanes of the Aeropostul
company circled about the great
airship as It made for the landing
field. Tho Graf first appeared
over rernambuco at 8:25 a. m.
(0:25 a. m. K. H. T.)
Mooring linos were dropped
20 minutes later, after the mo
tors had been slowed down and the
gas valves opened to permit a per
fect descent from the skies. .
Mooring operations which began
at S:53 occupied only seventeen
minutes.
Thus the Zeppelin was made fast
in slightly more than 24 hours
after leaving Campos Dos Affonsos
at Hio Janeiro.
I'liplca.itit Visit
Tho stay in itlo Janeiro was not
tho most pleasant cxperlenco In
tho history of the Graf Zeppelin.
I 'receded by a quarrel over ad
mission prices to the Campo Dos
Affonsos landing field, other
hitches developed In tho course of
the night; unfamlllarity of the
Brazilian soldiery with their task
In handling tho unwelldy craft
added to tho confusion.
Dr. Eckener,. master of the Graf,
did not even leave the gondola of
the ship, remaining there for re
ception of various civic and gov
ernment officials, Germans resi
dent in Brazil, and tho Prince
Louis Ferdinand, son of the for
mer crown prince of Germany,
who whs in It lo Jane fro f o r the
occasion. '
The Graf, which left Pernambu
co at 11:55 p. in. Friday (9:55 p.
m. E. S. T.) unived over tho head
lands outside the harbor at 1:30
u. in. Sunday morning, but after
communications with officials Dr.
Eckener decided to withhold land
ing until dawn.
With coming of the sunlight tho
started the ship past the crown of
famous Pao D'Assucar or "Sugar
Loaf" mountain dominating the
city, and then passed over the
llruxlllan capllat. The noise of the
dirigible's motors brought thou
sands from their homes Into the
streets and onto roofs for a view
of tho craft, which at first was
outlined in the sky by sunlight ap
pearing from over the tops of the
mountains while the city was still
in darkness.

The King's Hlbway detour Is

Another coat of oil will be
applied the coming week, and
the' road smoothed. The first I
two applications of oil were made
almost valueless by showers. Tho

It Is possible that while re

Interested in tho development of

found they knew about the success
of the Detroit Hose campaign and
made It a talking point."
Mr. Wood feels, from his obser

last night in which he declared a
large proportion of the lumber
mills in the Douglas fir region are
"finding it necessary" to curtail
their production for an extended

Large inventories; decreased de

under present conditions were
given by Greely as tho cause of
the cut.
He said a number of mills which
normally operate two shifts havo
indicated their Intontlon of reduc
ing to a one-shift basis soon. Oth
ers are expected to reduce their
cutting schedules to four or five
days a week.
Many single shift mills. Col.
Greeley said, aro now operating

undoubtedly follow suit.
