Bi-Plane Phys Through
Air Above Snowflake

The first ship of the air" to
visit Snowflake or this section
of the country arrived here
about the middle of the after
noon Wednesday, made com
plete circuit of the city and
land landed near the red hill
northwest of town. Many heard
the buzzing noise above them
but few except ex-soldiers in
the late war realized what was
coming.
The machine is a Curtis model
12-cylinder bi-plane, with 160
horsepower motor and has a
carrying capacity of two per-
sons, besides the aviator. Two
gentlemen of Glenwood Springs
Colo, are in charge of the plane
and are visiting the different
towns giving persons so desiring
an opportunity to go up with
them at ten dollars per ride
of ten minutes or so.
These machines are quite a
costly affair, it is said, and it
takes quite hunk of cash to be
able to get in full possession of
one. 1t requires fourteen gal
Ions of high grade gasoline an
hour to keep one of these planes
moving. 1t is also said that an
aviator has first to procure a
government license, which costs
5000, before he is allowed to
drive" the machine. Planes
of this type cost around ten
thousand dollars, the motor be-
ing the most expensive part
Of it.
The following here took sky
ward rides: Francis McLaws,
Jr., James Dewitt, Grandfather
VIM. j. Flake, one of the origi-
nal founders of Snowflake, and
who is in his 85th year, accom-
panied by A. G. McCloskey,
made the second flight, and it is
doubtful if Grandfather Flake
did not set a new worlds record
for flying in an airship consid-
ering his ripe, old age, and he
was just as game and plucky as
any Of the younger generation,
and did himself as we'll as Snow
flake great honor in attempting
this unusual feat. The other
persons wko partook Of this
treat were Don c. Smith, James
L. Hall, Walter G. Shelley and
Hyrum Broadbents
The appearance of the ma
chine in Snowflake created more
excitement than a circus and
the schools here and at Taylor
almost quit business for a time.
The plane started yesterday
for St. Johns but failed to get
out as far as the point of the
mountain" where they quit on
a count of water" had
to lay out all night, returning to
Snowflake this morning. 1t has
not been announced when they
will visit st. Johns.

Junior High Notes
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4

The Junior High is putting forth a
year to socialize the school. We are
carrying the socialized scheme into
the classroom recitation. 1t helps
the shy, backward boy or girl to get
his bearings. We are attempting to
make both the classroom and the
Fairgrounds pleasant and profitable
place for boys and girls. We are
emphasizing both work and play
each in its place.
When pupils speak of having lots
of fun and good time at school, it
does not follow or mean that they
are neglecting their work or putting
one over on the teacher. The teacher
ing the situation as well as the pupils
and at the same time is directing it,
for she has planned for it.
As I have said, we are socializing
our class work so that each pupil
may feel free to express himself. The
teacher knows her pupils and knows
when to liven them up from their
detected mood, which will come over
any class at times, by little refresh
ing amusement. This throws the
class into proper receptive mood for
the lesson, the same as a good story
does an audience when their interest
and attention fags.
We are trying to make the school
place of pleasure and of culture rather

caused his utter downfall and un-
doing. We are always glad to have
