Enthusiastic Road
Meeting, Brewster

The good road meeting held at
Brewster, January 7th, was at
tended by 35 enthuastic delegates
from the towns in the Methow
and Okanogan valleys and towns
between Coulee and Brewster.
The object is to complete the
unfinished portion of road be-
tween Coulee and Mansfield, the
balance of the entire distance is
surfaced road. This will connect
with the Canadian road when
finished of which recently that
Government has made appropia-
tions for its completion through
to Vancouver, passing through
one of the most scenic spots in
the west. This will make Candain
travel through this part by a dj-
rect road.
The meeting met after lunch at
the Gamble Hotel and organized,
by electing judge Brown. Of
Okanogan as President, and Cap
Fred McDemott of Pateros, Sec
retary. The question was con-
siderable discussed as to best
methods of securing means for
the completion of the Is miles
of road, which is all there is
lackiug of making it a full fledg-
ed highway.
In order to expedite matters
it. was arranged to appoint a
committee to look after this
work, made up of one man from
each town. The committee so
arranged is follows: Peter Nc
Pherson, Brewster; C. H, Yand,
Winthrop; ALE Wetsel, sTwisp;
F. w. McCann, Coulee; Fred
Ward, Mansfield; w. G. Brown,
Okanogan; F. M. Hadell, Oro-

general committee, was appoint
a subcommittee of five; one each
from Okanogan. Orovllle, Brew

Cap. Fred McDermott. as secre-
tary, and w. c. Brown, as chair
man.
Each good roads club or COM

what necessary expense the
committee need in it's work.

of natures great wonders. In

isal society with Biologists from
16 foreign countries visited six
of the principal Geological won

Colorado. and these men had trav-

we personally heard them say
that the Grand COulee was sec.

interesting. both from a scenic

BY United Press Leased Wire

NEWARK, N. j., Sept. A. The
death OF the Ii men on the Shenan-
doah was characterized as "mur-
DER in a copyrighted statement
by Captain Anton Heinen, who was
construction expert of the rigible,
published by the Newark News to-
day.
The removal of eight of the IS
safety valves in the gas cells Of
the ship was the direct cause of the
disaster, Captain Heinen declared.
1t was to save this precious
heiium that the men gave their lives
foolishly, the statement continues.
Changes in the Shenandoah were
+ made about six weeks age. / saw
the plane
Was Safe Before, Claim
Captain Heinen declares that be-
fore the reduction of the saftev
valves the Shenandoah afforded the
safest means Of travel on land, sea
or air.
Such a ship as the Shenandoah
was and still is, contend the SAT
est thing in the world. If it had
not been for the foolishness in cut
! ting down Of the safety valves, the
men all would have been happy
, with us today.
= From what Commander Klein
! told me, the ship was nearly filled
! with heium when she left here. As
j figured it, at Il height of 5000
! feet, which was pressure height, as
! we call it. the ship would have to
valve off gas. In the storm which
she struck, She rose too fast fer
the valves.
" Had the ship been filled with
hydrogen. - he continued, "the dis
aSter might not have occurred. The
hydrogen would have Waived more
/ freely and they would not have
been 50 cautious about saving it
! because It is not SO scarce rs he
lIGm or 50 expensive.
Wouldn t Make Voyage
Wouidn' t have gone on Il trip
with the Shenandoah for million
: dollars. II WAS not safe with the
waive changes
Why do You suppose we put 20
valves on the Los Angeles? We
dld that because we knew that even
: the IS originally ON the Shenandoah
were not enough for the greatest
; safety with spare valves in ease
some failed to work when needed.
Now there will be II whitewa4h
. board of inquiry and some eamou-
: fiage to cover up the real storm of
the cause; which was the foolish ac-
tion of the crew at the station in
! changing the valves. Already there
have been things said to lay the
! blame ON poor dead Lansdowne. -
Helnon said that the change made
in the installation of Il three ton
! water bag would not have been a
primary cause of the accident. He
also declared that the weight added
/ to the ship in the installation of
machine gun armament meant no.
thing.

EXPERTS CLAIMS
WILL BE- PR0BED.
SAYS SECRETARY

Hy United Press Lcnscd Wire
WASHINGTON, Sept. A.
Charges made by Captain An
tone Heinen that removal of
eight safety valves of the
shenandoah before sailing
caused the dirigible disaster,
will be investigated by the
navy department.
Information supplied to the
department by Lieutenant
Commander Lansdowile before
the fatal trip indicates that he
authorized valve changes last
May or June as result of
previous cross country flying
with the Shenandoah.
Secretary Wilbur has complete
confidence in the wisdom of
naval experts at Lakehurst who
pass upon such matters and
feels that Heinen's charges
can be and should be disprov-
ed.
Heinen, who crossed the At
lantic on the IRIS (Los Ange-
les.) has not been employed by
the navy since June, 1924, and
is known as an unfricndly
critic, according TO officials
here.
