WORLD EL|ER'S
PLANE FIGHTS
SNOWSTORM
Major Martin Has Thrilling
Battle With Elements.
Lands at Chignik.

CHIGNIK, Alaska, April 26.-After
one of the most thrilling experiences
in the history Of aviation, in which
machine and man successfully battled
the fury Of the elements, Maj. Fred.
erick L. Martin, commander Of the
American round-the.world flight, sue
ceeded in reaching here safely in his
flagship plane Seattle.
The flight from Kanatak here was
made in a binding snowstorm
against a stiff southeast gale.
MarOoned . Week.
Major Martin has been marooned
at Kanatak, little Standard Oil ex-
bay, for more than q week. He
was forced down in Portage bay
while en- route from Seward to
Chignik by a leaking crank case
and forced to await at Kanatak
after his rescue by the destroyer
Hull, the arrival of a new, engine
from Dutch Harbor.
With the new engines arrival
the weather turned bad. Kanatak
became the center Of a cauldron Of
winds. Day after day went by with
out a sign of flying weather."
Yesterday Major Martin determined
to make the start and arising at
8 a. m. found the tide insufficient
to float the big aircruiSer from it's
retreat in Kanatak creek to the
outer bay.
With the entire community as his
aides q drag was constructed and
by 1890, through the use of a
Standard Oil tractor cut had been
made in the bar sufficiently deep
to pull the plane through. When
Major Martin arose the day was
calm but by IL o'clock a southeast
wind had sprung UP and, by the
time the plane was towed into the
bay 1t was so rough as to endanger
the cruiser and her occupants.
No Turning Back.
However, there was no turning
back as the receding tide made It
impossible to tow the plane back
into the shelter Of the creek. A
binding snowstorm followed in the
wake Of the wind and at 1:15 when
the plane rose and headed for
Chignik 1t was almost impossible to
see the shore line.
The storm continued during the
entire flight to Chignik. At Kumlik
bay, Major Martin made a landing
to escape the fury Of the snowstorm
and to check his position. This
landing was made at 4:45 and the
plane remained on the surface Of
the water until 1855, when 1t again
rose and headed into the storm for
Chignik which was reached at $3.50.
Show Terrible Strain.
Major Martin and his mechanic
plainly showed the terrible strain
which they had undergone on the
flight when they landed.
During the entire flight we were
forced to follow the shore line at a
maximum altitude Of 400 feet"
Major Martin said
1.-THE storms between Kanatak and
here were q terrible strain to the
plane and personnel and we con.
sider> ourselves lucky to have
escaped disaster"
Major Martin will fly from here
to Dutch Harbor at the earliest
possible moment and join the three
other planes in the globe,circling
flight there.
I'VE are mighty anxious to get
under way again." he declared. 1.-THE
wait at Kanatak was very trying
and we want to get going again as
soon as possible"

RAPS.
FORDSHOALs :
PROPOSAL
Former interior Secretary
Sees Acceptance Leading
to Power Trust.

Henry Ford's bid for Muscle
Shoals grants to q special corpora
ton a right not consistent with the
terms Of the Federal Water Power
Act" James r. Garfield. former
Secretary Of the Interior, today told
the Senate Agriculture Committee.
THE properties should be devel-
oped for the needs OF all the peo-
ple," Garfield said.
"FOrd's offer does not provide tor
valuation at the end OF the grant. 1t
would provide great power trust.
The rates for power would not
be regulated.
The gentlemen, representing Mr..
Ford are not philanthropists. They
are trying to get for themselves the
greatest possible advantage. To &C
cept would be to give away for a
song great grant"
Garfield said 1t seemed to him un.
wise TO dispose Of the question pure
~ on the basis Of the problematicaI
!ertillzer output promised by Ford,
but not guaranteed. He added that
the policy in pioneer days of giving
land grants for railroad develop
ment could not today be considered
precedent to justify the Ford award.
Cities Growth Feared.
Answering Senator Ranadell CD
OF Louisiana, Garfield conceded that
much harm had been done the
country by the growth of great
cities.
"Do you think" Ransdell cor
tinued, that a great service would
be done the nation as a whole il
power from Muscle Shoals were
distributed, not alone to the small
cities and towns Of the South, but
to the rural communities as well,
providing for the development of
the country areas?"
Eyes, ! do" Garfield said.
The disposition of Muscle Shoals,
Garfield added, should conform to
the provisions of the Federal water
power act.
1T is the mere gIamor of a
name" he asserted, that has at.
tracted people to the Ford offer.
THE fact that he did a great
work in his line is nothing on
which to predicate this grant"
What do you think of Govern.
ment ownership Of the property?'
asked Senator RalSton Dl Of In.
diana
Prefers Private Grant.
II think it WISER" the witness
answered, Ito lease it to a private
corporation rather for the Govern
ment to administer it directly"
The danger of this lease" Gar
field said of the Ford plan, sis
that it gives away 50 much with
no return or guarantee Of a re.
turn"
He thought it wise, too, for the
Government to be able at any time
to take back the property if it
were not satisfied with the conduct
OF the leasee. Garfield agreed with
Senator Helm 3D. of Alabama that
Ford had performed a great public
service regardless of the merit of
his offer, by bringing public atten-
ton to the potentialities of Muscle
Shoals. While wholly opposed to
the Ford bid, he added, he did not
favor any other certain offer be-
cause he was not conversant wita
all offers.

that they now had enough dele.
gates votes in their vest pockets
to nominate Mr.. Coolidge at Cleve-
land on the first ballot-the total
Coolidge votes being estimated in
the neighborhood of thousand.
The Republican platform was also
discussed, as was the selection Of q

One thing stood out prominently
In connection with the views ex-

State VIII Have Ten
Thousand More Autos

Arizona's automobile registrations
for 1924 probably will exceed $4,000
an increase of 10000, more than 20
per cent, in a single year, accord
ing to a recent announcement by
Secretary of State James H. Kerby.
Although figures on registrations
through the state during November
are not complete, he announced, they
will show that between 500 and 900
cars were registered during that
period of 80 days, very large num-
Der for the next to the last month
of the year.
Registrations also are continuing
heavy through December, although no
actual figures have been received.
Registrations for the ten months end
ing October 81, exceeded $4,000, and
with nearly 1000 more for November
and a number almost as large for De-
cember, supplies the basis for the es-
innate that the total for the year will
exceed $4,000.
The increases during the early
months of the new year, will cores
pond with those of the closing months
of this year and it is not improbable
that the registrations for 1925 will
range between 10000 and $4,000.
The registrations are indicative of
a high degree of prosperity prevailing
generally throughout the state. Prac-
tically every new registration is in
dicative of the purchase by someone
of an automobile.

week. Choice to prime yearling steers
sold at $3.50 to $14 Prime steers

steers and all classes of short fed
steers were 25 to so cents lower and

calves, stock COWS and heifers were
lower.
Hog prices showed a substantial

POPULATION OF
INDIAN TRIBES
IS ON INCREASE

An increase in the cOuntry's Indian
population and marked improvement
in health conditions on their reserva-
tions have been noted by United States
Indian Commissioner Burke.
Growth by 2599 in the past year to
a total of 346,902 in a population to-
tai entirely dependent on the differ
ence between the birth and death
rates, is accepted as proof that the
Indians are becoming a healthier peo-
pie.
Campaign being conducted against
trachoma and tuberculosis, the most
prevalent Indian diseases, are yield
ing results, and the commissioner
seeks an additional appropriation OF
$13O,000 to carry on the work.
A gain in school attendance also
was noted, 65,484 Indians having been
enrolled in various schools, repre-
senting an increase of 4,071 over 1923.
In three years the number of teachers
in the Indians summer training
schools has grown from "a to 325.
Although oil and gas operations on
Indian reservations were less than
normal, the leasings reached 226,919
acres; 49,64O,458 barrels were pro-
duced and the total revenue was
$29,145,517. A tract of 100 acres on
the sage reservation in Oklahoma
was leased for nearly $2,000,00O and
several others brought more than
$1,O0O00O apiece. The Osages alone
realized $24,670,4S from oil and gas.
Lumber cut on all reservations ag-
gregated 2O,O00,0O0 feet which yield

KANSAS CITY STOCK
YARD REPORT
December 10, 1924
BY CHAS. M. PIPKIN
Correspondent

Though prime yearling steers sold
up to $14 this week the highest price
since December 1920, the general cat
tie market was lower. There was a
sharp decline in all classes of short
fed steers, especially the weighty
kinds Cows and heifers, except
prime heifers and steers and heifers
mixed were lower. New York state
has declared an embargo on live poul-
try from seven central western states.
This will probably increase demand
for beef, and increase demand for fat
cattle. Hog advance in the first three
days of the week and though easier
in the past two days, retained net
gain. Sheep and lambs were the high
est of the season.
Receipts this week were 59,625 cat
tie, 12,300 calves, 81,175 hogs, and &c.
500 sheep, compared with 53,675 cat
tie, 200 calves, 1876 hogs, and 21,-
