Flying Over Pacific Is Next.

Capt. John Alcock, Englishman,
and Lieut.. Arthur Brown, son of
American parents. have completed
successfully the first nonstop fight
across the Atlantic. For a few days
the world will, ring with praise for
their achievement and then it will
settle down to the realization that
hop across this sea will in very
short time be matter of every day
occurrence. 1t was so when Bleriot
was the first to fly over the English
Channel, and when the Inflated
Frenchman sailed over the Alps, only
to meet his death while making
landing in Italy. Now no one would
give a moments consideration to
repetition of either of these achieve
ments.
Within very short time a trans
Atlantic fight will excite no COM
ment. We may be sure that the air
passage will be used in carrying mail
where speed in transmission is desir-
ed. 1t may be some little time be-
fore an airship is developed with any
great capacity for passonger-carry
ing, but this, too, is certainty. Avia-
ton has made such rapid strides in
the past few years that almost any
thing is considered possible of
y, In, oil
The hardy and courageous British
ers who have just completed their
nonstop trip have finished the vic
tory won several weeks ago by the
American naval aviators. We would
not detract even the smallest measure
of praise and honor for this most re-
cent accomplishment. We salute the
latest victors and acclaim their won
derful work. 1t was certainty that
this nonstop flight would be made,
but these courageous Britishers have
made it fact. Similar flights in
the near future, of course, will at
tract some press comment, but it will
not be long before an air passage over
the Atlantic will be merely matter
of routing news.
The last remaining obstacle now
to a globe betting flight is the Paci-
fic. Already, we are told, plans are
on foot for this feat. Secretary DAN
iels has made the announcement that
naval aviators are making ready for
the attempt and we feel sure that
it will be successful If air condi-
tions are favorable a trans-P&cific
fight by the northern route should
not be as hard even as the passage
over the Atlantic. An aviator hop
ping off from Seattle or Tacoma ought
to be able to negotiate the LOO
miles to the Unalaska Islands with
out difficulty. He could make an
other jump of 1850 miles from
Unalaska to Petropavlosk Then the
remainder of the way to Japan and
China is we'll dotted with islands.
A nonstop fight over the Pacific
right now is hardly possible, but it,
too, will come in time. AS matter
Of fact, the majority of us probably
will live to see an air trip made
around the globe without a pause

Back to The Country.

Back to the country. jOn my honor,
will leave this noisy town.
I'll go back to the beech and maple,
With their breezy Shady sound.
am tired of the clash and clatter,
OF the Thousand shocks and jars; !
OF the foot, toetn Of the whistles,
And the ''honk, honk" of the cars:
will leave this noisy town
But / will not leave alone!
Tired of all this busy bedlam!
OF the "ging-o-hng" of bells;
Of the hum and roar of business,
Like hundred little bells
And the peoples tireless tramplings
Up and down the groaping streets,
With their ceasless calls and chatter,
Pandemonium made complete.
But apart from all TIE crowd
III not call her name aloud. s
Back to the country! yes, l mean it;
Back to the moss-backed pebbly
brook;
Back to the dear old fields and forests,
With their kind O. homely look;
Back to the hills DER which 1 scram-
bled,
When an eager care-free boy,
Hunting muscadines in autumn,
Birds nests in the spring
joy!
With this smoky town I'm done
Did speak of an unnamed one?
Where the humming bird is humming
Round the white spring bloom;
Where the bumblebee is drumming
On the silver chords of June;
Where tho lark springs from the
meadow,
Shaking dew from off her wings,
While the clover blossoms listen,
Heads hung, as she mounts and
sings
Back to the country, fresh and free
And she said she'd go with me!
/ must back where the redbird riots,
Back where the bluebird builds her
nest,
Back where the thrush pours out its
music,
Back where the mocker sings his
best!
Oh, for the old paths through the
meadows!
Oh, for the hot dust OH my feet!
Oh, for the cows l drove to pasture!
Oh, for their milk and butter sweet
Back to the open hills and grove
And she vowed undying love!
Where the swallow trims the edges,
OF the warm and fieecy cloud,
And the bobwhite in the valley
Blows his bugle clear and loud;
Where the whippoorwill at nightfall,
Challenges the solitude,
And the firefiies with their lanterns
Sparkle through the underwood
Oh, for the country's quiet ways,
Wooing to peace, to prayer and
praise!
In my dreams, the old plantation,
Boyhood home, / often see;
Where the strutting turkey gobbled,
And the cock crew shrill and free;
Where the pigs squealed for their
luncheon,
And the horse neighed for his corn;
Where the calf called for it's mother
And the mule paved in the barn,
Back to the country, whence l came,
With that dear one too sweet to
name!

BUTTERFLIES CROSS OCEAN;

sights in the world is to see millions

Mexico City, Sept. 17.-Lega,
precedent for the republic Of Mex
leo to nationalize its lands which are
row devoted to the production of De-
troleum, is claimed in statement
recently furnished to the Associated
Press by Leon Salinas, sub-secretarv
Of the Department Of Commerce and
Industry which has this question in
charge.
Laws and statutes governing the
Development of coal and oil deposits
date back to the days of the viceroys
in Mexico, the statement says, and
since that time there has been a Sc
ries of DEGREES and laws that firmly
establishes the rights of the republic
in this regard.
The question is now in the hands
Of the Mexican Congress for revision
with a view to adjudicating claims
made by foreign companies with vast
interests in Mexico.
AS early as 1898 the Spanish gov
ernment by laws known as mining

Benito Juarez, president Of Mexico
