AIRPLANE PROPELLOR MADE FROM BOARDS OF
 DOG SLED SAVES SHIP

WINNIPEG, May 3I.-Through the ingenuity of a steamboat engineer at Fort Simpson, in the sub-Arctic, in constructing an airplane propeller out of few dog-sled boards and glue made from raw moose hide, an oil company's freight airplane escaped being stranded at Slave Lake for several months.
 The propellor made by w. A. Johnson, who had only few crude tools at his disposal, worked with out hitch and carried the machine over the frozen wilds to Peace River.
 The emergency repairs were made necessary when the airplane plunged into a deep snow bank and splin tered one of it's propellors. If the new propellor had not been made the aviators said they would have had to remain in the north country until the opening of navigation about July 1.

BIG MANEUvERS N
 BEING PLANNED !! ! ! 1
 FOR AIR CRAFT ]
Director Naval Aviation Has Stiff Program for Flyers
 During Summer.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 31.-- With Atlantic and Pacific fleet air forces mobilized at bases on the two coasts, an intensive program of summer and fall maneuyere is being planned by Captain William A. Moi fatt,e director of naval ayaition. Starting with the joint army and navy bombing tests otf the Atlantic Coast from June 15 to July 15, de- signed to test the offensive value of aircraft against naval vessels, navy fliers will be put through several months of stiff exercises
 Early in July the Naval Airship ZR-2 purchased in Great Britain. will fly to this country in charge of an American crew A great aeria. demonstration will mark her ar rival. Detachments of seaplanes, flying boats and dirigibles will fly out to sea to meet the big airship and escort her to point on the Atlantic coast just north of Boston
 The ZR-2 will then skirt the coast southwark passing over the principal cities to Philadelphia, then proceed to the giant navy hangar at Lakehurst, N. J.. and anchored to "mooring mast" the first de- vice of this kind to be erected in this county.
 Experts from Great Britain will superintendent erection of the mast which will be a steel structure about
 / 15O feet high with a swiveled bride at the top to which the nose of the dirigibie will be moored permitting the ship to swing always nose to wind. The structure will cost about $50.O00 and probably be fitted with an elevator to carry the crew of the dirigible to and from the ground.
 After being thoroughly overhaul ed, the ZR-2 will undertake cross country cruise to show the ship to the people. Present plans call for a trip to Chicago and return, at feast by way of the Southern border of the Great Lakes. and if cities west of Chicago provide mooring facilities the cruise may be extend ed indeiinitely. The ship can make 8 round trip to Chicago without re- fueltng.

PIONEER STEAMER ON NEW ROUTE BRINGS TO
 END A HISTORIC TRIP

VANCOUVER, B. C., May 31-- When the steamer Buenos Ayres with a cargo of wheat from Van couver dropped moorings in Thom as River at London, historic voy. age had come to an end The ship was the pioneer of the new route Tor wheat from the western shores of America through the Panama Canal to Europe
 At banquet in celebration of the epoch-making voyage, Sir George Perley said that in the near future the export wheat trade of western Canada would be divided between Pacific and Atlantic ports instead of af passing eastward to Europe as in the past. F. C. Wade, agent gen eral of British Columbia in Great Britain, said the voyage marked the awakening of western Canada to the advantage of the Panama Canal.
 Though the Panama Canal has been open for several years,' said Mir. Wade, there is just now a re vival of interest in. what this shorter route to Europe holds out for the Pacific ports, not only of Canada Drt the United States. As for the grain trade development, it is worth noting that the Peace River district could produce ,30,Oo0,000 bushels of wheat if there were proper trans portation facilities out of that re zion. The settlers there look for the building of short line to the Pa cific Ocean which will give them an export outlet for their far produce.'

.2.75 Per Cent Beer
A Future Possibility
(By Federated Press)

hington-Intimation has been
given members of the Senate Finance
Committee from cabinet officers that
at some future time the Administra-
ton may support a proposal to tax
2.75 beer $500 a barrel and devote
the proceeds to a soldiers bonus.
Several hundred million dollars
could be raised annually by such a
tax and it was openly stated that this
amount from such a source might be
very convenient if political pressure
compels the passage of bonus bill
The Administration believes the
country is not yet ready to approve
a relaxation of the prohibition en-
forcement act, but definite reaction
in favor of mild beer is said to have
set in many sections that have been
regarded as dry. One high official
said he believed legislation could be
framed to impose heavy tax on mild
beer which would meet approval if
proposed in year hence.
Senator Calder of New York re-
Gently gave notice Of his intention to
propose an amendment OF the revenue
bill amending the Volstead act to per-
nit the sale of 2.75 per cent beer un-
der a tax of $5 per barrel.
1t is understood that Senator Calder
has been told not to push his amend
ments at the present time, but to wait
until public sentiment has changed
when they may get the support of the
Administration. The Administration
believes that mild beer will be pop
ular a year from now and that rev.
enues from this source will be suffi-
cient to pay small bonus and line up
political support from the soldiers
