Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO BEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGOX, THURSDAY. JANUARY 25. 193. IS Project Will Be Recom mended to Department of Commerce by Lieutenant Smith and Major Sandry ASHLAND, Jan. 35. (fipl.) Lieut Baill B. Smith, aeronaut tea director for the department of commerce in Oregon, and Major George E. Sandy, airport engineer, will recommend to the department of commerce officials In Washington, D. c, approval of the propoaed expenditure of 75.000 for building an airport at Ashland, un der the OWA, It was learned yester day. The two officials Inspected the site Juat south of the city yesterday morning. Lieut. Smith and Major Sandy met Marshall C. Hoppln, regional airport advisor for the western states, at Medford and conferred with him on the project.. The officials explained here that the Ashland airport improvement pro posal presents an unusual set-up, in that any expenditures of more thin 25,000 which are approved by the state officials, must receive final ap proval from the department of com merce et Washington. They also pointed out that they are not con sidering expenditure of the money here as an improvement but . t-tr building a new airport, since Ash land does not have an airport at the present time, but mervly a site for an airport. Major Sandv stated that United States army p.ots, who have ferried planes from the Boeing factory at Seattle south, are all anxious to have the Ashland site developed as an air port because It is out of the fog belt. The desire to have the Ashland airport developed is due to the fact that when the entire valley is blank eted' by fog, the site for the proposed Ashland airport Is fog-free. The attitude of the federal govern ment toward the proposal is based on its safety factor, it was stated. Lieut. Smith and Major Sandy con ferred with Hoppln and Inspector Jurevloh Wednesday afternoon and proceeded north for Inspection ot other airport improvement proposals, The plan. If given final approval, will mean employment of 332 men tn Ashland for a period of 85 days. MeteorologicalReporl W V Hi N W CALLED VETERAN January 20, 1034. Forecasts.

An editorial in the Wednesday Issue of the Ashland Tiding says: "Recommendation of expenditure of 75,000 for building an airport at Ashland by department of commerce officials, following Inspection of the site this morning, Is another step to ward consummation of a dream long held by local citizens. "Lieut. Smith and Major Sandy, department of commerce officials, de clared they believed expenditure of the money for building a port here would be Justified. Their opinion Is not a hasty one, but one which i supported by physical data on fog conditions here over period of 13 years, the opinions of pilots operat ing over this area, and results of sur veys by air transportation companies. "The city council has secured suf ficient property so the port can be constructed to meet the. maximum requirements of the federal govern ment. "Building of an adequate port would provide a most valuable asset for na tional defense. A squadron of planes stationed here could, In the event of war, protect a large section ot the coast line in operations from this port. The field could bs used at any time of the year because It is fox free. "Instead of opposing expenditure of a large amount of money for the airport here. Medford should be boost ing the project, if only as ft matter of self-protect Ion. Medford's great Investment In its fine airport would go for naught If the airlines should follow the inland airway now under construction. Ports are now under construction from The Dalles to Klamath Falls, at Bend. Redmond. Madras, Maupln, Klamath Falls and The Dalles. "Building of a port at Aahlanl would insure continued operation of air lines through this valley,1 AKRON, QMo.

(AP) Doris Stevens, feminist leader, came back from Montevideo today Jubilant be cause the recent Pan-American con ference was "the first confer ence that ever has said women are as Important as debts and tariffs." Under Its caption, "Introducing," the United Air Lines News, tn Its .ui isue, prints the following praise of Seely V. Hall, valley born and raised, and son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Court Hell: "An 'old timer' on the Pacific Co; route of the United Air Llnea Is a fellow who can recall the days when Just about any cleared space was an Intermediate landing field, when farmers, drug store clerk snd hotel proprietors were 'airway meteorolog ists.' and when open-cockpit two seater planes made up the line's mod ern fleet. "Seely Hall Is an old timer. "Now field manager for Unlted's Pacific Air Transport division at Se attle, Seely can tell you how he once rode up and down the proposed air route In a rattling old Lizzie, pick ing out likely looking landing spots and appointing weather observers. An observer then was anybody who could tell you whether It was raining, sun shining or snowing, and who could Inform you as to whether he could sen si Perkins' barn, the lonesome pine or some other object a quarter to a half-mile away. "Hall was born at Central Point, Ore., in 1803, the son of pioneers. He went to school in Medford, drove stages to Crater Lake national park and, after that, took over in auto mobile agency. Came the war and Seely enlisted In the Signal corps branch of the air service. At Sin Diego, he was with Hebe Miller in the motor repair shops of the First Aero spuadron. Russ Cunningham was there, too. as a flying cadet. . "After the war, Seely bought a Jenny and formed the Medford Air craft company. Actually, about 25 people owned the plane, slnoe Seely raised money for its purchase by promising a ride to everyone who bought a $100 share, and there were many responses. With his ship, he barnstormed through Oregon and; eastern Washington. His plane, in-; cldentally. was the first of the clv Ulsn type to fly over the Siskiyou mountains and to go up the Columbia River gorg. "Wedding bells sounded and Seeiy sold the Jenny, to pursue various ac tivities until 1925, when he became Interested in Vern 0. Oorst's plan to start a Pacific Coast airmail line.

The firm man ufactures Grunow electric refriger ators and radios. 'We have decided to lncresse our newspaper advertising appro priation thin year," Grunow said, "because we believe newspapers are one of the most effective me diums for reaching the consumer.' He said the company looked for ward to greater business this year than ever before, largely because rt increased Durehnsine power. I the route, he became associated with this project. "Seely had charge of the Medford station for Pacific Air Transport for four years, then went to Loa Angeles as division superintendent. Later be became field manager at San Diego and In September of last year, was transferred to Seattle. With Mrs. Hall and their two youngsters, he now is getting accustomed to Washington 'mist'." E 10 BAKER, Ore., Jan. 35. CAP) The community of Bourne in Baker county, which in the 1030 census was one of the two points in the Un ited States with a population of one person, may soon claim the more enviable distinction of being the fastest growing community under Uncle Barn's flag. Basil Prescott of Los Anegels has launched an extensive gold mining development on the main properties along a four-mile vein In the Bourne district and 30 men are now at work removing old machinery from the E. dc E. mill where the new plant will be located. Arrangements are said to have been made for a large supply of machin ery and electric current for a pilot mill of 160 tons dally capacity. Prescott lnltl mated 600 men will be working In the Bourne district within a year. In keeping with the times Drugs and Toiletries at Cut Prices at JAR MIN'S DRUG STORE. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 (Spl.) A meeting of congress members from western states where predatory ani mal control work has been conduct ed was held recently to determine the procedure to be followed to com bat the proposed reductions in the budget of the department of agricul ture for such work. Cougressman James W. Mott of Oregon attended the meeting and Is cooperating with the group. The appropriation of predatory ani mal control work last year was 530. 000. The estimate for the 1035 ap propriation is (01,343. This is a drastic cut and will practically elim inate this work next year In Oregon and the other western states affect ed. Much benefit has been derived from this work In the past and Its discontinuance will not only mean a great loss to the state but will also undo all the good previously accomp lished. As a result of the meeting, a com mittee of two congressmen Lea of California and Taylor of Colorado was appointed to present the whole problem to President Roosevelt and request .him to recommend a sup plemental appropriation to take care of this work. Congressman Mott is hopeful that this effort will meet with success. Duck Stamp Bill Given Approval NEW YORK, Jan. 38.
