SENATOR PENROsE
FLIES TO CARSON

After making two unsuccessful at
tempts to travel to Carson in his air
plane Monday, Senator Matt Penrose
was compelled to postpone the trip
until Tuesday morning, when the
forty mile trip was made in 80 minutes.
A new gas tank which has recently
been installed in the machine was the
cause Of the trouble, according to
aviator Williams The first trial
Monday took the airman several miles
from the Gelder field before the mo-
tor began to balk, and it was with
considerable difficulty that they re-
gained their staring point. The ne
cessary repairs was made and the
trip successfully negotiated Tuesday
morning. The Carson Appeal has
the following too say concerning our
Senator
Senator Matt Penrose came in from
his Yerington home this morning in
his airplane. Matt did the plotting
while the mechanician duly occupied
the rear seat of the machine.
The senator is the first to arrive in
this city to attend to official duties via
the air route. The consequence is
that Matt is designated the sky pilot
OF the two houses this winter.
He stated that the trip from Yer
ington to Carson was negotiated i'll 80
minutes the distance being approx
mately 40 miles as the airship flies
AS it is necessary to take 1000 foot
altitude to get above the fog and
clouds it made some high flying for
Matt.
The senator is going to hold the
machine over for few days and the
chances are that lot of the law
makers will be induced to sprout wings
and attempt the upper levels.
The senator has an experienced man
with him and between the two the
machine will be. doing some stunts
over this city for the next few days
Frank S. Lamberson and William
Patrick Maloney left Monday for
San Francisco While in that city
Mr.. Lamberson will select two billiard
cues to be given as prizes at billiard
tournament which is to be held i'll
Yerington i'll the near future.
Miss Charlotte Penrose was a pas
senger in the Penrose airplane on its
trip from Fallon to Yerington last
week. The distance was covered in
