we were picked up was latitude 80 de-

degrees Is minutes west. We tried to
salvage the plane, but the tow lines
OF the Ionia broke, and we were forced
to give up the attempt.

cause the small boat of the Ionia was
tossed about like a cork. All of us
were seasick, otherwise we did not
suffer.
I'VE sent out sos calls after land
ing, but the radio sending radius was
only fifty miles on the surface of the
water While awaiting rescue we in
tercepted messages between destroyers.
We last heard the radio of the NC-3
at 9:15 o'clock Saturday morning.
IF the fog had not been so thick
we could have continued to Ponta Del
gada. Our engines worked splendidly
throughout. The average altitude of
the flight was between 500 and $500

u. 5. Cruiser at Lisbon
" aiting for Seaplanes;
Report Good Conditions

LISBON, May 10 (By The Associated
Press).-The cruiser Rochester, with
Rear Admiral Plunkett on board, and
the supply ship Shawmut are here
awaiting the coming of the seaplanes.
American naval officers continues their
meteorological Investigations at the
Lisbon Observatory, and consider gen
eral conditions favorable for contin-
uance of the flight.
The American naval mission has ar
ranged to notify the people of Lisbon
when the plane or planes leave the
Azores by blowing whistles. The
whistling will be repeated an hour be-
fore the aviators are expected here.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-20

Hawker, wife of the aviator, and their
daughter arrived at the Sopwith air
drome this afternoon. Before hearing
the reports of her husbands landing
she had expressed the belief that he
would fly direct to the airdrome here
if he found it possible
The report this afternoon that Haw-
ker had been sighted off Ireland was
received with enthusiasm here, where
the Sopwith headquarters are located.
So confident were Hawker's friends
that he would succeed in his transat-
lantic flight that as soon as his de-
parture was announced arrangements
were made for his reception.

an almost sinking condition thirty
miles off Corvo Island, Azores, with
the destroyer Fairfax standing by.
Lieutenant Commander Bellinger
and his crew of the NC-1 are aboard
the cruiser Columbia at Horta, def
nitely out of the race, according to
Bellinger's own report on the condi-
tion Of his machine.
With his arrivel at Ponta Delgada
Commander Towers again took ac-
tive command Of the flight situation.
Whether Commander Read in the
NC-4 shall proceed alone at the
earliest possible moment or wait for
the NC-3 to resume the flight de-
pands on the condition of the latter
plane. Officers here believe the
NC-4 commander would be ordered
to proceed as soon as weather per-
mits on the next lap.
Even under the depression of
earlier hours, before news Of the
safety of the NC-3 had arrived, Of
ficers were quick with tributes to
the gallantry Of Harry G. Hawker,
the daring Australian whose single
handed attempt to cross the Atlan-
tic by air, stalking his life and that
of his navigator on pure luck, ap-
pealed to them strongly as a sport
ing venture. Officers said the Aus
tralian had the best wishes of the
American naval service and should
he succeed from no one would he
receive heartier congratulations.
Navy Cheered by News
That Towers Is Safe
AS news Of Commander Towers's
safety spread through the Navy De-
partment, feeling of relief fol-
lowed it, for it meant that not only
had seventeen officers of the Ameri-
can navy flung themselves through
more than 1900 sea miles of space
to arrive safely in midocean, but
that American seaplane construction
had stood the test Of storm on the
surface as we'll as having conquered
the air.
1t had been a saying of the SER
vice that the planes were built to
ride any seas in which they could
land. The NC-3 did more than that
She rode out gale that is said to
have approached a ninety-mile rate
at times and came serenely taxying
into port, having kept steadily on
her general course under guidance
of her skilful crew. This spoke loud
ly to officers here of both sound
building and rare skill and ingenu-
ity. 1t established, they said, rec
ord for the service, probably for the
world.

Invaluable Data
Gained, Says Darid
Varied Experiences Of
Seaplanes a Basis for
Development Of Future

"The diversity of experience Of the
three American seaplanes making the
transatlantic flight is likely to prove
one Of the most valuable features of
the whole exploit" said Evan J. David
aeronautic expert and business mana
ger of the publication, "Flying," as he
watched the overseas bulletins come in
yesterday.
From the standpoint of record
making" he said, ait might be more
satisfactory il all the NC planes had
arrived without any mishap as Lieu
tenant Commander Reads did. But
from the standpoint of knowledge
gained for the benefit Of Transatlantic
flying in general there is no question
that the variety of experience is far
more interesting, far more informing"
The most important feature Of the
flights, Mr.. David declared, will be the
gauge it will furnish on the nature of
air currents above the Atlantic.
"The great danger heretofore,' he
explained, "has been in the fact that
we knew nothing about the air currents
existing above the ocean, their nature
or direction. No aircraft had ever been
as far as 200 miles out to sea. All the
rest was painless, unknown space. To
take the plunge into that tricky mys-
terry required rare courage and daring.
Once the plunge had been taken, how
ever, as it now has, we have data to
go on"
"Dirigibles," Mr.. David said, will
handle the bulk of the aerial carrying
trade which will shortly be undertaken.
Because of their lightness, however.
they probably are not the best type
of craft to undertake this pioneer
work. Now that we have something
to base calculations on, however, as
we shall have when Commander Read
makes full report, the dirigibes will
not be compelled to operate entirely
in the dark.
Dirigibles to Garry Planes
"The dirigibles will, of coures. carry
seaplanes aboard just as ocean liners
carry lifeboats. Accidents, especially
at first, are bound to occur But people
are not going to be so afraid of the
effects Of those accidents when thew
know that there is at hand seaplane
provedly capable of wcathcring the
waves Of the mid-Atlantic."

stop at Ponta Delgada was thought
to be planned for the purpose of
obtaining supplies.
The story of the plucky fight,
Commander Towers and his men
were forced to make for two days
and nights was not expected at the
Navy Department before to-mor-
row, for officials realized that the
ayiators must have been almost ex-
hausted when they reached their
haven.

STATE e PERIMENTAL
DRY FARMS ARE
GIVEN INSPEC-
TION

Director f. s. Harris of the Utah
Experiment Station accompanied by
the secretary. Mr.. X. b. Sauls and
Prof. Ray +. Homer. principal of
the Branch Agricultural College has
just returned from an inspection trip
of the experiment dry farms of Utah
According to DR.. Harris the expor-
mental results being obtained in
several sections are very promising.
though sufficient data have not yet
been secured to arrive at definite
conclusions. The Kane County Dry
Farm at Kanab and the Garfield
County dry farm at Widtsoe are in
very good shape considering the ve4y
unfavorable conditions for dry farm
ing this year. The farm at Cedar
City is all in fallow on account of
the severe drouth experienced thee
this year, but the land is being main-
tined in good filth for further ex.
perimental work next year.
The work at Nephi, where dry
farm rotation, breeding, selecting and
other experiments on dry farm moth
DDS and crops are being conducted In
cooperation with the U. s. Depart
ment of Agriculture, is progressips
VERY satisfactorily. Due to the lack
of moisture and the warm weather
the fall grain harvest is somewhat
earlier than usual, though the yields
are. about normal. The yield of spring
grains however, will probobly be be-
low the average.
| Preparations are being made for
stocking the irrigated farm at PAN
guich with registered Shorthorn cat
tie. Mr.. Harris states that thee xper-
iment station expects to build up one
of the best herds of Shorthorns ia
the state on this farm, which will be
used to supply the southern part of
the state with the best breeding cat
tie obtainable. There are now eight
head Of cattle on the farm. The
stocking Of the place to its capacity
win probably be completed by fall.

eli of Defense will be called to-
gether at the Commercial Club at 8
o clock for the purpose Of hearing
the financial and other reports OF the
Council to decide what kind OF ame-

From the beginning the officers
and members OF the Council have OPP

They have always favored some
thing that will be useful and live and

Purpose In Life.

Have n purpose in living. Aim to be
somebody and TO do something, and TO
know Just what II Is you mean to be
and do. Some people pity those who
fall short OF their ldeals-the Inventor
who falls, the Statesman who Is so far
In advance Of his constituents that he
receives ceusure Instead Of praise. But
these are not the ones who need your
sympathy. Save your pity for those
who are drifting through life with
out a goal, who are living without q
purpose.

Had II not been for friends of this
character under those very trying
conditions where our lives and pro-
perty were endangered by Indians
we could not have endured the hard

Elder Il. b. T. Taylor of Salt Lake
City said he had known the departed
for nearly forty years and during
that time he had learned to respect
and love him. Charles had been at
his home and he had been at the
home OF the dear brother whose re.
mains occupy the casket before us
and there was congeniality existing
between them that was strong and
enduring. In his journey up FROM
Salt Lake City he had for seat
mate Mr.. Thomas Smart who stated
that he. too, was going up to attend
the funeral services of Charles A.
whom he esteemed as one Of the
most dependable men among his ac-
puaintances and a man whom he
looked upon as true genuine friend
whose departure now in the prime
'of life when with health he could
hayeenjoyed the fruits of his labors
and the association of his family and
friends fill my heart with sadness.
Mr.. Taylor said further that he was

from Davis county was on his way

quaintance with the Reese family he
