GOVERNMENT MUST DECIDE
WHO OWNS THE AIR

Washlngton.-Who owns the air?
The ancient Romans, who must
have looked ahead through the CEN
turies and had visions of the present
day aeroplane and dirigible, enacted
a law granting absolute ownership OF
the air above property owned by a
citizen.
In the light of the achievements of
the Wright brothers, Curtis, Bleriot,
and hosts of others, the question has
been revived after sleeping for CEN
turies. and aerial enthusiasts are now
asking legal authorities for a citation
in the modern laws which might
throw some light on 1t.
Lyttleton Fox, who is member OF
the Aero Club of America, started the
discussion at recent meeting OF that
organization. He reached back into

Pendleton, Dec. 1, 1909.
To the Editor:-
Statements recently appearing in
your columns in the matter of the
mayoralty contest seem to require
correction and as citizens of Pendle-
ton interested in its welfare, we crave
space to make to the public the fol-
lowing statement.
DR. f. r. Swinburne is a candidate
for mayor not at his own desire or
request. but at the solicitation of nu-
merous voters, among whom are the
undersigned and Congressman Ellis
and other gentlemen who are tenn
porarily absent from the city. AS
suredly he is not the candidate of any
clique or interest. If elected he viii
be no mans man, but the good OF the
CITY will be his first consideration.
Neither the Northwestern Gas &
Electric company nor the Washington
& oregon Traction company, nor any
other corporation have ever received
thought or discussion among his
friends in this campaign He is not
now. nor will he be as mayor, sur
rounded or affected by corporate IN
fluences in any degree, Under his ad-
ministration there will be a square
deal for all.
We urged DR.. Swlnburne to become
candidate. and we now urge his
candidacy, because in our opinion the
citv needs at this time strong. inde-
pendent and Courageous man, who will
impartially and completely administer
the ordinances, cooperate with the
state officials in enforcing the laws,
devote his time to municipal AFFAIRS
and keep the city within its income.
He has made pronounced success
of his own affairs; he is not engaged
in active business, and will not be
fearful of losing patronage by the full
performance of his public duties; he
has built ome here which is an
ornament to the city, and will be
found supporter of all movements,
50 far as the financial condition OF
the city will permit, which can pos
sibly make for the public good. The
men who are responsible for his can
didacy are actuated by no selfish mo-
| tive and they are confident that he
will make an ideal mayor at this
I somewhat critical juncture in our mu-
nicipal life.
Respectfully,
STEPHEN a. LOWELL,
w. G. COLE.

TIME members of the party roped at intervals
of twenty feet. Allowing for the depth of the
crevasse. the amount of rope taken up in their
hands ready to be served out occasion required,
and the inclination of Barth's line of descent the
latter ought be notchng the opposing wall before
Stampa quilted the surface of the glacier. Though
Spenser could not Stampa now. he knew that the
rear guide was bracing himself strongly against any
telltale jerk with the additional security of an
anchor obtained by driving the pick of his deeply
into the surface ice. 1t was Bowers business to
keep the rope quite taut both above and below but
the American was sure that he was gathering the
slack behind him with his right hand while he
lied the his left. and did not use it to steady
himself
Spenser assumed from various comments by

child's play to him. This de-
parture from all the canons of
the craft as impaired by Stampa
during their first week on the
hills together. struck Spenser as
exceedingly dangerous. He re-
flected that if it had not been for
the words he had overheard, he
would never have known of this
curious proceeding Indeed, but
for those words, with their SIMS
ter significance augmented by
Bowers devilish expression, had
he even looked back by chance,
the naneuver might not have
attracted his attention. What.
then, did it imply? Why should
a skilled mountaineer break an
imperative rule that permits of
no exception He continued to
watch Bower even more closely.
He devoted to the task every
instant that consideration for
Helen's safety and his own would
allow.
There was not much light in
the crevasse. Heavy clouds and
smothering snow wraiths hid
the travellers under a dense pail
that suggested the approach of
night, though the actual time
was about half-past one in the
afternoon. The wind seemed to
delight in torturing them with
minute particles of ice that stung
with a peculiar sensation of burn
ing. These were bad enough.
To add to their miseries. fine.
powdery snowfakes settled on
eyes and eyelids with binding
effect.
During particularly battling
gust Helen uttered slight ex-
clamation. Instantly Spenser
stitfened himself. and Barth and
Karl halted.

RARTH'S AK rang out again.
The vibrations of each lusty
blow could be felt distinctlyalon
the solid ice wall. After last
downward step he would begin
to notch his way up the other
side, where the angle was much
more favorable to rapid progress.
Spenser stole another glance
over his shoulder. Bower had

of the leader paid heed to nothing else but Spenser
was fascinated by Bowers actions
At last. Barth's deep bass reverberated triumph
antly upward: ''Vor1udrts!"
Vorpd,ts, Stampa!" repeated Bower, suddenly
chang the ice to his right hand and stretching
the left as far along the rope and high up pos
sble. simultaneously he raised the AK.
Then, and not till then, did Spenser understand.
Stampa must be the point of relaxing his grip and
preparing to descend If Bower cut the rope with
single stroke of the ADJ violent tug the sundered
end would preciptate Stampa headlong into the
crevasse. while there would be ample evidence to
show that he himself had severed the rope by
miscaculated blow. The fall would undoubtedly kill
him. When his corpse recovered, it
would be found that the cut had been made
much closer to his own body than to that
of his nearest neighbor

regained the commonplace world of
the hotel. In any case. she wished
the men would hurry; for it was
unutterably cold in the crevasse.
A I last. there was a movement
I = ahead Barth began to mount.
Muttering an instruction to Karl
that he was to give the girl a
friendly pull, he cut smaller steps
more widely apart and at sleeper
gradient. Soon they were on the
floor of the ice and hurrying to
the next bridge. Not a word was
spoken by anyone The fury of
the gale and the ever-gathering
snow made it imperative that not
a moment should be wasted The
lightning was decreasing percep-
tibly, while the occasional peals of
thunder were scarcely audible
above the soughing of the wind.
A tremendous crash on the right
announced the fall of another
avalanche, but it did not affect
the next broad crevasse. The
bridge they had used a few hours
earlier stood firm. Indeed, it was
new welded by regulation since the
suns rays had disappeared.
The leader kept perfect line,
never devlating from the right
track Helen. who had completely
lost her bearings. thought they had
a long way farther to go, when
she saw Barth stop and begin to
unfasten the rope Then a thrust
with the butt of her pickel told
her that she was standing on rock.
When she cleared her eyes of the
flying snow, she saw we'll defined

which was sold by the receivers to
former Mayor Lawrence Pagan of HO
bOken.
Mayor Pagan bought the property at
public sale for S190.000. but certain
bondholders claimed that the auction
eer did not give sufficient time to bid
ders to determine whether they would
go above the bid of $19O.0C0.
In this contention they were sup
ported by Oakley Cooke, one of the
three receivers. The other receivers,
John r. Lee and William A. Arnold,
insisted that the sale had been con-
Quoted to the best advantage.
Judge Lanning said that affidavits
were presented to him that if the prop
erty was put up for auction again a
bid of at least s25O,OOO would be made,
and he ordered that the property be
again offered for sale.
