]. F. COOK VISITS
AVIATION CITY
JIM COOK FINISHING COURSE
AT DETROIT-6O PLANES
AT INDOOR SHOW

John F. Cook returned the latter
weeks trip which included Chica-
go, Detroit and points in Missouri
Mr.. Cook spent most of his time
at Detroit where his son, Jim, is
completing a course in aviation
Jim has proven an apt pupil and
has reached a point where he is
plotting planes and putting them
through their usual PAGES, includ-
ing landing. He has not been al
lowed as yet to fly alone, but has
been accompanied by an instruc-
tor.
Mr.. Cook, Sr., had a ride in the
air as one of his numerous exper-
fences and attended the first in
door airplane show ever held in
this country. The building in
which the show was held has
enormous floor space, sufficient
for the exhibition of more than SO
planes. Almost every type being
made in this country was shown.
There were lecturers and demon.
strators present to explain the
points of the various makes. De-
troit is regarded as the aviation
center of the country. Later, Mr..
Cook visited an airplane factory
at Memphis, Missouri, where the
Pheasant plane, a very popular
make, is produced.
Growing Business
Mr.. Cook returned home deeply
interested in aviation and the de-
velopment that is taking place all
over the country. He believes
that the selling of airplanes for
business and pleasure purposes is
certain to take on large proper
tions and follow in the wake of
the automobile business.
Aviation did not, however
eclipse golfing in Johns affec
tions. He played Is holes on ths
Hawthorn club course, a few miles
out of Detroit and made a score
that bested his opponent by a
wide margin. He pulled off one
drive of 300 yards which the
grounds-keeper said was the best
shot he had seen in some time.

ANNUAL lO-MILL LEVY
ELECTION, SAT. MAY 10

l. L. Jensen, clerk of the school
board, calls attention to the fact
that the special levy election will
be held at the school house on
Saturday afternoon between the
hours of two and six. This is for
the purpose of voting on the usual
lO-mill levy asked by the school
board. Only freeholders may
vote. Lest there be any misunder-
standing on the part of voters who
may not have been in the city at
the time of the last election, this
levy is not additional to the usual
amount voted for the maintenance
OF the schools, but is a levy which
is voted every year and is essen
tial to keeping the school up to its
present standard

B. & B. WORKER
MEETS DEATH
NICK CHRiSTiANSON STRUCK
BY FREtGHT-ClRCU
STANCES A MYSTERY

Nick Christianson, single man,
about 3S years of age, came to his
death beside the Great Northern
track a mile east of Wolf Point
late Saturday afternoon, May 5th.
While there were no eye witness
es, it is considered certain be-
yond any reasonable doubt that
he was struck by the engine of
a through freight.
B. and 3. Worker
Christianson was a member of
a Great Northern bridge and
building crew which was at work
with a pile driver at one of the
small bridges just east of town
He was a flagman whose duty it
was to go out about a quarter of
mile from the work train and
flag approaching trains. There
are two flagmen and his station
was east of the pile driver. His
position when noticed, after the
accident, indicated that he had
been seated on the north side of
the track facing north. His head
had been struck and crushed on
the right side and his right arm
was broken in several places.
Why he would allow himself to
be struck by the engine is a mys
terry that never can be solved. The
best theory advanced is that the
warm sun of Saturday caused him
to fall alseep. Other theories have
been advanced, but facts are lack
ing to substantiate any of them.
The engineer of the train says
he saw nothing that he took to
be man but did see something
that he thought was a piece of
tar paper, such as is often blown
against the end of the ties. A
brakeman recognized Christian
sons form as that of a person
and notified the engineer who
brought the train to a stop.
No Relatives In America
A car was secured and the in
jured man was brought to the Of
flee of DR.. DeWane. He was still
breathing but expired about ten
minutes after reaching there.
Foreman Matson of the b. & B.
crew stated that Christianson had |
been employed under him for
about four years and that he had |
no relatives in this country. Act !
ing Coroner Gordon held an in |
vestigation but no facts that |
would establish to certainty the |
exact cause and manner of the |
mans death were brought out. 1t |
that no one had spoken |
to or seen Christianson for about
an hour and half prior to the
time that the train arrived, so it
can never be known if he were
taken i'll or what his physical
condition may have been at the
time of the accident.
AS matter of duty the acting
coroner took charge of his per-
sonal effects found in the bunk
;ar, and these included life insur-
ance policies.
Services were conducted at
cemetery by the Rev.
4. o. Johnson of the First Luther
IN church on Tuesday, May 8.

SELF-GOYERNMENT HOPE Is
 POSTPONED.

One of the results of the recent election was another postponment of the hope of full Terri torial government for Alaska The people of Alaska and those of the Nation have endorsed the centralization of authority at Washington particularly far Alaska is concerned. Ne shall have to continue to place reliance on the wisdom and benefcenoe of the bureaus.
 Under the circumstances We are specially for tunate that the bureaus which operate in Alaska are efficiently organized, that their Alaska rep resentatiyes thoroughly competent and earn estly imbued with the purpose to make the public service of real in the development of the Territory They have the confidence of the people of Alaska and that of the Government at Wash ingten which, itself is anxious to contribute in any reasonable way to Alaskan development
 At the present moment the Forestry Bureau is devoting its energies to bring about pulp and paper development, the Fisheries Bureau is doing it's level best to solve the fisheries problems and the road building organizations are at work for the good of all concerned A competent and broad-minded is at the head of the game organization.
 While this is anomalous situation for an American people, accustomed to progressing under local sef-goyernment, to be in, there is nothing left for us but to make the most of it. We should cooperate in every possible way with the powers that be. We have the consolation of knowing that it might be a lot worse for we have the assurance of past performances that the bureaus are disposed toward cooperation We have the further happy knowledge that honesty industry and good faith are characteristic of the bureaus and their local representatives
