LOST FLYERS ESCAPE
DEATH ON MOUNTAIN
Crash Into Mountain Peak in Fou.
Wrecking Plane Completely;
Flyers Uninjured

C0rdova, ka-MiraculOusly es.
Gaping death after crashing against a
mountain peak in a fog and completely
wrecking the former flagplane, Seattle,
one of the four United SatteS army
glObe-encircling air cruisers, Major
Frederick L. Martin and his mechanic,
Staff Sergeant Alva L. Harvey, were
safe, May II, at Port Moller, 100 miles
west of Chignik, Alaska, on the Alas
ka peninsula, according to a wireless
message received here from that point,
via ST. Paul island.
The following wireless message from
Major Martin was received here at
1915 a. M, Sunday, from Port Moller,
via st. Paul island:
Crashed against mountain in fog,
on 30th at u 80. Neither of US hurt.
Ship total wreck. Our existence was
due to concentrated food and nerve.
Arrived at trapper's cabin southmost
point of Port Moller bay, morning
seventh. Exhausted. Found food
Rested three days. Walked beach.
Waiting Instructions
1t had not been learned here how
many miles the two aviators were
from Port Moller bay when their plane
was wrecked. But this journey took
them a week. The country is occupied
by hills. South of Port Moller bay
the peninsula is but 25 miles across
to the Pacific ocean. Port Moller bay
is a branch of the Bering sea. The
region still is under snow
To the tale of Major Martins fate,
for which the world has been waiting
II days, a strange feature is contrib
uted by the fact that two men at Port
Moller thought, last Sunday evening, |
that they saw a plane, 10 or Is miles |
from Port Moller But the place where |
Major Martin hit the mountain appar-
emily is at least 80 miles from Port
Moller, which is 20 miles from the
southern end of the bay.

In Willingness to assume responsibility.
THE thing that gives us such panic
about them is simply that they are
freer of expression, that they say in

ashamed of themselves as physical be-

CONDITIONS IN GLENDIVE
POINT TO STEADY GROWTH

"Present general business conditions
in Glendive are good, and perhaps
somewhat better than in most portions
of Montana. According to our reports
and all conditions considered we have
little to complain of said Raymond
Hildebrand, president of the Glendive
chamber of commerce. ''In fact, many
of our business men state that while
business for March was not as good
as for the same month last year. the
business for the four-month period just
closed is considerably above that done
during the same time last year. We
are rather optimistic concerning the
future in our city and look forward
also to much better agricultural year
"Of course, owing to weather condi
tions farming is not as far advanced
this year as it might be. But, most Of
the wheat is already in, though there
will not be an increase in wheat acre
age over last year. There will, how
ever, be considerably more flax. sweet
clover and other feed crops. Not less
than 5000 acres of corn will be plant
ed in Dawson county this year and bet
ter still, it will be put in better and
cared for more thoroughly than ever
before. This is largely due to the
fact that the Glendive chamber of
commerce on behalf of the business
men is offering cash premiums total
ing $1,000 with cash prize of $3.50
FOR the best 20 acres of dent corn
grown in Dawson this year"
