TRAVELLING MEN LEAVE TODAY NOON ON SEAPLANE NORTHbIRD FOR TRIP TO INTERIOR; GOING VIA SKACWAY

The Northbird reached Skagway at 2:1o o'clock this afternoon, a fine trip being made and the time from Juneau to Skagway being one hour and 22 minutes, according to a cable gram received from Max Humfrey. At 1:55 o'clock the Northbird circled over Chlkoot Barracks and Haines and then started for skagway.
 The seaplane Northbird made it's first real commercial" flight in this part of Alaska today and in so do- ing inaugurated a service that may be of inestimable value to the resi- denlts of this section.
 Roy Jones, the genial and efficient pilot of the Northbird, was engaged by Max" Humfrey to make the flight from here to Skagway and they tcok-off during the noon hour today Accompanying them is George Lang CT Both Humfrey and Langer are travelling salesmen. Humfrey repre- senting Hills Bros. Red Can" Coffee. and Langer representing the United States Rubber Company.
 This "trip by seaplane is the first leg of their long and tedious journey through the Interior of Yukon Ter ritory and Alaska by way of the Yu- kon River to St. Michael and Nome on the Boring Sea, and other points in the Arctic.
 It is necessary for them to get across the ice of Lake LeBarge to the lower end before the condition of the ice becomes unsafe for travel, and, as an carly ''break-up' is looked for this year, thcy are naturally anx- ious to make all possible speed Therefore they have chosen the air route for that part of the trip frc.n here Ito Skagway.
 This is the firgt time any of the commercial men have ayailed them selves of the service offered by Roy Jones and his Northbird, but 1t may be the forerunner of numerous sim liar trips.

 LIFTING POWER OF AiRPlANES s

LONDON, May 3.--An improvement of at least 10 per cent in the lifting efficiency of aeroplane wings is ex- pected to be made by an invention which has Ibeon patentcd by a young ex-officer of the flying corps.
 He claims to have discovered the method by which crows and other birds glide at fine angles, and experl- menIts which have beon made with gliding models suggest that the wing tip feathers arc not merely for fal- ancing purposes but contribute large ly to the Hitting capacity.

 Night Sessions Probable
 At noon it seemed inevitable that night sessions would be necessary in order to give conference committees time to adjust differences in both tho taxation and revenue and appro- priations bills. The salmon pack and mining income rates adopted by the Senate and possibl amendments 10 tho appropriations bill, it was pre- dicted, would have 10 be threshel out in conference.
 Tho first attack on the latter measure came on the section cover ing the Territorial Secrotary's office. Senator Aldrich argued against al lowing the Secretary any salary from tho Territory, and in committee of the whole. offered a motion to strike that item. He was unable to get a second to it, however, and it died. He then attempted to mise a point of order against the itcm, but MT Chamberlin. presiding, ruled it out of order In tho commibtee. |. was expected that the same point would be raised when the Senate resume l formal so11ic1.
 Changes In Rates
 Work tha. lt took the House hours to accomplish Monday and Tuesday was undono by the Senate yesterday afternoon in about as many minutes, when 1t ripped apart the salmon pack schedules and adopted entirely new rates for those which the House had passed by a narrow margin of one vote.
