Dublin Restoring Buildings
 Damaged During Revolt

PLANE RUNS INTO
 BAD SNOW STORM
 INTERIOR DISTRICT
Fairbanks News-Miner)

Flying for two hours in a blind ing snowstorm, in an attempt to find a pass through a range of mountains near Wiseman, was the experience undergone recently by Pilot Noel Vein, Peter Dow and his son. Unable to find their way thru they were forced to return to Fair banks
 The plane left Fairbanks at 11:O5 in the morning, bound for Wiseman, in the Koyukuk. By airline the dis tance is about 200 miles, and is almost directly north. The distance between is covered largely by noun tains, and the weather is extremely variable. The sky was almost cloud lesss when the plane started from the landing field, but when within about fifty miles of it's destination the snow was falling so heavily that it was practically impossible to keep on a true course. Because of the heavy load-three men and about fif- ty gallons of gas-the plane could not get above 5000 feet.
 Vein flew through one range which was so high that he just missed the trees on the mountain tops. He says it was one of the hardest trips he has ever undertaken; not quite sure of his position, with the possi- bility of the clouds just ahead con- cealing mountain, he had to trust mainly to luck.
 He soon saw that the plane could never make the mountain ahead, and decided to return. Vein had trou- ble in finding his course on the way back, but finally sighted Brooks and landed there The field was covered with four inches of snow glazed with ice, all of which added to their trou- bles in the takeoff. To cap the eli aX, one of the magnetos went out of commission soon after leaving Brooks and the flight to Fairbanks was made on one magneto.
 The plane landed at the park after having been in the air five hours and ten minutes. Vein does not expect to attempt the trip again. The wea- ther is so uncertain at this time of year that it might be weeks before another try could be made It is thought the plane will be taken down for the winter. Vein expects to leave for his home in Minnesota in about week, returning to Fairbanks in the spring to resume his flying.

 Fourteen years ago the Boy Scout movement was imported from England, where it was first organized after the Beer war by Gen. Sir Baden Powell.
 From that time it has grown from nothing to one of the largest organiza- tions in the United States and perhaps the most important from the standpoint of the boys, said Mir. Shixe
 It has received the enthusiastic ap- proval of all who were interested in the boys growth and has had men like ex- Presidents Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson and Harding as honorary presidents, he said
 The movement has, met with a little opposition and with little suspicion from quarters which suspected it of military aspirations, he said, but in every case it has .allayed them and now meets with heartily approval from every one.
