BURGLAR GETS AWAY
WITH S595 IN JEWELS

Jewelry valued at s595 and cash to-
falling S55 were obtained by burglars
who, late last night, robbed the res
idence of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. J. Palmeteer,
712 Is'lleth street. The jewelry be-
longed to Mr.. and Mrs. Palmeteer and
the cash was. taken from the clothes
Of j. K. Parker, of Portland, guest
with Mrs. Parker there.
The Palmeteers believe that their
entry to the house shortly after ]
o'clock. on their return from trip to
Walla Walla. frightened away the
burglars by a rear door or window.
Mr.. and Mrs. Parker were asleep dur
ing the robbery and the burglars had
gone through his pockets.
Professional work is the way MIR.
Palmeteer sized up the situation this
morning. The burglars were careful
not to leave the slightest trace of
their work and the job was pronounc-
ed very clean one. Jewels belonging
to the Parkers were overlooked, it is
thought, when the burglars heard the
returning party.

JOURNALS IN OR|OLE
SPEED THROUGH AIR

An hour and fifty minutes after the
journal plane left Lewis and Clark
field in Portland, with IA bundles OF
oregon Journals, it landed at the Bitt-
ner field near Pendleton yesterday
The trip was made in an oriole with
rred Du Puy as Pilot
Pilot DuPuy left the landing field
at i2:55 p. m. and at l p. m. was 1000
feet in the air. At 1850 u. m. the plane
landed here. Pilot DuPuy flew at a
height of 400 feet up the gorge and
was bothered by fog and rain. After
leaving The Dalles he encountered
good weather.
The need for a landing field near
town is evidenced by the fact that II
took as long to bring the papers to
Tendletou as it did to bring them from
Portland to Pendleton.
