JUDGE SWEITZER
HOLDS COURT FOR
GARNET CLUB

The Garnet Mesa Community club
held it's regular meeting Monday even
ing. the coy home Of Mr. and Mrs.
J. L. Sprung being opened for the oc-
ce1ion. The house was filled to ca.
pacity, and after routine business had
been disposed of the meeting was
turned over to Judge" L. w. Sweitz.
er who forthwith opened a kangaroo
court with a full complement of Off
ficers.
The complaint was read, in which
the Garnet Mesa Community club
was plaintiff, and Miss Elsie Rogers
was defendant and the young lady
was charged with having appeared in
public in mems rlotIies, contributing
to the bad morals Of the community
and Of having enticed sore married
men from their hearths.
c. A. Marellus and Mrs l.. w.
Brewer prosecuted the case as eager.
ly as ever an honest-togoodness
lawyer bounded his "culprit." and
the young lady was ably defended
by L. C. Anderson and Mrs Mabel
Martin.
John Hazelett welded his rayei as
bailiff with all the energy of a rock
crusher, while w n. Dulng found It
difficult to pilot his prisoner into the
court room with 400 pound C?) bal.
last attached.
Fred Martin was sheriff Ay crackey
and his star would have We'd with
any ever busted off by a member of
the Grassyille Police force
Judge" sweitzer presided with dig
nifty and handed out his rulings when
attorneys became engaged in heated
arguments, with n flrmness calculat-
ed to put the offenders to rout and
leave the spectators satisfied that he
had performed his duty right nobly.
There was great deal Of fun in
selecting the jury as well as conduct
ing the hearing. and some Of those
attorneys certainly did ask some
naughty questions, particularly in re-
gard to G, A. Moellers alleged "stlll"
and his acquaintance with a myster-
ious woman" at Cedaredgo. But the
witness was Just as foxy as many
Witnesses in regular caseeB. and had

Twill be called upon to take in any lhop in the course of the entire globe |circling cruise. They each carried |342 gallons of gasoline, 200 gallons |of which was used between Seattle land Prince Rupert.
 Starting Point
 Iof the flight was Santa Monica, Ma ljor Martin stated that from Cali lfornia to Seattle constituted noth- ling more than a cross country flight. With the starting of the flight with pontoons at Seattle, the chances became greater and, flying from Prince Rupert to Japan, a course never covered before by Iayiators, he and his fellow pilots be- came pioneers of the air called upon | to exert the best of their abilities. The machines are known as Douglas world cruisers. They were built as Santa Monica and are simi- lar to Douglas torpedo boats with some notifications, however, which suit them particularly for the work which they are called uopn to per form. Loaded with pilots, gas, bag gage, etc. the machines weigh little over eight thousand pounds. without, they weigh 5,100 pounds. The wings are 35 12 feet long and have spread of 50 feet. Their height is 13 feet inches. The fuselage and wings are made of aluminium and are partly covered with canvas. The motors are 500 horse power Liberties. The maxi mum speed of the machines is 100 miles per hour with pontoons and 105 miles with landing gear. Their cruising speed is 75 miles, this hay ing been exceeded at times during Sundays flight.
 The aviators and mechanics all belong to the United States Army under the auspices of which the globe flight is being attempted. The purpose of the flight, Major Martin said is to demonstrate the feasibili- ty of communication by air between the nations of the world.
 Major Martin says no attempt is being made to race with the Brit ish. He admits that Stuart Mac Laren has good opportunity of beating the Americans around. The only handicap to the British. he states, is that they have not enough supplies laid enroute. If they have good going, however, they should beat the Americans hands down. In long distance flight single machine has the advantage over a greater number providing there are no mishaps.
 Seal Cove Suited For Landing
 Major Martin stated that the cove selected for the landing of his machines was we'll sheltered and suited to the purpose although he did not realize at first that it was so small
 The American machines will fly with pontoons until they reach Cal cutta. There they will be replaced with wheels for land flying. At Tokyo the pontoons and engines will be changed. There will also be en- zine changes at Calcutta and Hull. England. Thirty-five new engines are set out along the route.
 Lieut. Wade Complimented
 Major Martin also complimented Lieut.. Wade on his navigation abili- ties in successfully making the flight and following alone under ad- verse conditions. Lieut. Wade came up the inside passage all the way and did not go outside of Cape Cal vert as the first three machines did.
 All the officers of the flight re- gently underwent special course of training at Langley Field, Vir- ginia, for the flight upon which they are embarked.

A letter received recently by Mrs U. w. Pritchett from Tommie Jack |son, a Native boy committed from Wrangell to the State Industrial School for Boys at Golden, Colo, in January 1921, states that he is do- ing we'll in every way. He is now in the sixth grade in school and has learned the Seventh Badge in be- havior. He expects to be returned to Wrangell next February.
 The school is conducted along a Parole or Badge System and has been very successful in helping de- linquent boys

Stating that flying conditions were very poor, Major Martin com lplimented his fellow pilots on their good work of staying with the course and negoittiang the trip sue lcessfully. We always knew where we were and were confident of our ability. We never felt that we were taking unnecessary risks and never considered coming down before we reached Prince Rupert.
 Weather Reports
 Major Martin referred to the misleading weather reports that were issued at Seattle Sunday morn ing prior to taking off. The flyers were advised that there might be some rain, but were assured tha, there would be no fog. Snow was not taken into consideration.
 The maximum altitude attained by the flyers en route north was 1000 feet. It was necessary at times to go less than 100 feet to obtain visibil lity which never exceeded one mile on either side after striking the rain and snow area. The speed of the light varied from 70 to S5 miles. The machines on the flight Sunday car Tried the maximum load that they
