MAKES TRIP
IN FLYING MACHINE

C. c. Stevens, the we'll known To-
connective firemen, who recently re-
turned from a trip to sunny Califor-
mia, returned to Cordova last week
after spending a few days in Chiti-
ma and at the front. Steve says the
boys in Alaska who haven't been out
for several years can hardly realize
the improvement and progress which
has gone rapidly on. He says people
in California now have the flying
machine craze, and through the in
fluence of his father in Los Angeles,
Steve had the distinction of being
the first Alaskan, so far known, to
make a trip in one of the newly i'm
proved aeroplanes. When asked
about the experience or sensation of
the ride, Steve said it was different
from riding on locomotive and far
more uncomfortable. Two passen-
gers besides himself made the trip.
He said they were seated on cross
bars of aluminium, and strapped Sc
curely to an upright bar with the
legs dangling. They rose to an alti-'
tude of about 500 feet. and as the
speed was something like 35 miles
an hour there was little sensation
outside of the rushing wind, which
was quite cold, and about all he
could see below was a whirling kali
eidoscope of the earth's surface.
