John Howe pondered these things
for an hour or more, and then before
retiring he wrote the letter to Mr..
Thad Upton that decided the fate OF
the Truax homestead and incidentally
his own. He had eliminated Susan
Truax, he said. He was sur he could
persuade her not to buy. Likewise he
had found a purchaser. All that re-
manned now was for events to shape
themselves. He would be back in his
office he hoped, within ten days.
After that John Howe set out to
WOO Susan Truax. Two or three after
moons they spent riding together, for
Susan was a keen horsewoman, and
then there was a country walk where
John proposed and was accepted.
Susan did not question his judgment
then when he advised her not to buy
the Truax property, though she seemed
keenly disappointed at having to let
it slip from her fingers.
Immediately following that Susan
signed the proper papers r~elinGuishing
her kinsman, Mr.. Upton, from her
claim as purchaser, ~whereupon Mr..
Thad Upton promptly sent word to
John Howe that he might proceed with
the sale, retaining all profit he made
beyond the $4,000. Two days later
the $4,000 was in the hands of Mr..
Upton, so apparently Mr.. Howe had
found an immediate purchaser.

was in his office and Mr.. Thad Upton

REFUSE GERMAN STATES 0ATE
Several Public Officials Of Federated
States Scorn Allegiance to Re-
publican Constitution.

Berlin.-Public officials in some Of
the federated German states have re-
fused TO take the oath of allegiance
to the republican constitution on the
ground they owed allegiance only to
their WI state.
The point of law evoked lively dis
c~ussion, particularly In Bavaria,
where respect for the present German
regime is not deeply grounded. Legal
suits Vere brought in two cases for
reinstatement of the officials whose Of.
fees had been declared vacant on ac-
count of their unconstitutional atti-
tude.
One court ruled the oath was un-
necessary. but u higher court reversed
the decision.

and then circled around and saw the
men rush for them and open and read
them. This greatly impressed the au-
thorities.
Some steamers were frozen in the
ice off the coast some miles from st.
Johns, it being an unusually hard
winter in Newfoundland. They, also,
had been without newspapers or
mails. Cotton repeated his stunt and
dropped newspapers onto the decks OF
the steamers, and the passengers were
able to read the afternoon papers al
most as quickly rs citizens Of st.
Johns did. Delivery of newspapers
has been made in many places around
the shore.
An Object Lesson.
The Norwegian manager Of a paper
company at Alexander Bay wanted to
get down to the plant from st. Johns.
The ~cross-country train was showed
in somewhere nea the line. Cotton
took Blakstad, the manager, to his
place in an hour and three-Quarters.
at the same time dropping newspapers
on the passengers in the marooned
train. Among the train passengers
was w. It. Ooaker, minister Of marine
and fisheries, who had refused to be
taken by plane to Port Union, head
quarters Of the Fishermen's Union Of
Newfoundland. He was on the

The machines being used by Major
Cotton are q Martinsyde, with a 275
Falson Rolls-ROyce engine, and Il
DH-9. The former Is the same type
used by the first men to come to New
foundland in connection with the
transatlantic flight. Both machines
have a very quick take-Off and land
very slowly. Then there is u West.

CINE, particularly useful in case OF
crash, as the aviators "a live in the
cabin in comparative comfort. Con-
centrated food for q month for two,
snowshoes, blankets, etc., are always
carried in each machine. Neither Of
these machines is suitable for the con-
ditions of the country, however, and
on his return to England Cotton will
have some specially designed for the
work, putting into them everything
that he has learned while here.
Aviators in all parts of the world
are watching with 4 great deal Of in
terest Cotton's activities in winter fly
ing in Newfoundland.

ICONS are useless except in open wa

from any kind of snow and alight on
the toughest and most uneven snow
banks. The skids can take the ma
chine safely over bitches, or even logs.
A small skid for the tail keeps the
airplune completely out of the snow,

Cotton has two hangers and a cou-
pie Of canvas sheds, stationed ut va
riOus points. One canvas tent has
been placed at st, Anthony, away down
by the Straits Of Belle Isle, by the
Labrador coast. There is Il hangar ut
BotwOOd, midway between the north
and south Of the country, and one at
st. Johns. At that, there are not half
enough hangers, as all Of the interior
Of the country is uninhabited and eX-
posed to the rigorS OF winter. A crash
there means to be maroOned perhaps
for weeks, unless It be near the trans
insular railway.
The right kind Of airplane mechan-
les have to be brought out from Eng
land. In some instances, after paying
all expenses, Cotton has found the
man untitled for work. The hardy,
dare devil type of pioneer mechanic is
the type needed for winter flying in
Newfoundland, and he is hard to get.
Neither the insurance companies
nor the government Will insure Cot
tons machines, so that If a machine
crashes the loss falls entirely on him
self.
Bridging Ice Barriers.
Cotton and his companion in flying.
Capt. V. s Bennett, SON OF the New
foundland statesman OF that name,
have been proving the practicability
and usefulness OF the airplane in many
interesting ways. Their idea is to
force the government and people TO
see That not only Is aviation useful
to Newfoundland, but that the future
development OF Newfoundland de
ponds upon aviation.
Bell Island, the iron-producing rock
In Conception bay, was cut off from
the mainland for days by an ice block

to bear man or horse, and too thick
to allow a boat to get through 1t. For
