such a station could be erected for

called upon the governor and took on

sale of the penitentiary property to
the city for $4,000 The governor
called into the conference Edward j.

Governor Pleasant is said to have
expressed himself as in hearty SYM
pathy with Ile desire of the city to
acquire the penitentiary property for
park purposes. but is reported to have
pointed out to the committee that the
penitentiary system. with its present
enormous debt, did not have the funds
to make permanent improvements. He
suggested to the commissioner tkat
they get together with the prison au'
thorities, get exact figures on the cost
of a modern sanitary receiving So

city limits, and then submit the pro-
position if the suggestion could be
worked out, without expense to the
state, he would favor the exchange.

MAXWELL MAKES
PERILOUS LEAP

The most spectacular automobile mo-
ton picture yet obtained by camera,
was filmed recently near Santa Bar
bara, CAL, where the studios of the
American Film Co. are located, when
Maxwell stock touring car leaped q
chasm 80 feet wide and 2l feet deep.
It landed safely on the other side with
IA feet to spare, the total distance OF
the fight beng AZ feet. Three passen-
ers were carried on the peril0us jour.
ney. Another remarkable tribute to
Maxwell sturdiness is contained in the
fact that none of the passengers were
injured and the car was unharmed.
The car was driven 1000 feet on
temporary board incline to give it the
momentum necessary for its long leap
through the air. Albert Thompson, one
of the film actors, who was riding the
car. said it had attained speed Of so
miles an hour when it left the incline
huilt on the approach side of the gulf.
A sslarge crowd was on hand to watch
the performance and the majority of
the onlookers predicted the experiment
would end in disaster.
In the car beside MIR. Thompson were
Juanita Hansen and Jack Little. of the
Flying A" Co. When the car landed
on the other side of the gorge it con-
tinued on its way up the road until it
was brought to stop by its daring
driver.

RIVER EN-
DORSES GRANT BILL

The Hood River valley is practically
unanimous in its endorsement OF the
Oregon Land Grant bill as introduced
in congress by Senator Chamberlain.
The Commercial club Monday evening
wired congratulations to Senator Cham
berIain on his success in securing the
support Of the subcommittee of which
he Is chairman, and kilograms Of en-
dorsement. which urge that he renew
his fight in behalf Of the 10000 ap-
portionment of the land grant funds,
were sent to Representative Sinnott BY
the Commercial club, city council,
county commissioners, various school
boards and the banks of the city.
The bill, as endorsed by local officials
and citizens, provides for 40 per cent Of
the land grant fund to 60 to the irrre-
ducible school fund of Oregon, 40 per
cent to be appropriated for roads and
20 per cent to the general reclamation
fund.
"As view the situation of the land
grant. '',says Judge Derby, cit was the
original intent that the state Of Oregon
should enjoy the proceeds Of the grant.
and believe the people should make
every effort to save for themselves and
future generations something that is
justly due them."'
Judge Derby first called the attention
of the matter to the Commercial club
and has prepared resolutions Of en-
dorsement of the bill.
