 In the light of lessons learned in this trial flight Bleriot plans to build, at cost of upward Of a million dollars, the first real ocean air liner.
 It will be a monoplane, weigh ing some 26 tons and measuring 131 fact across it's wing. It will be powered and fuelled to re- main in the air for 20 hours. Four motors will propel it.
 It will carry 30 passengers, housed within the wing, which will be curved in ovoid shape at the front of the plane and will come to an edge behind.
 There is no reason, Bleriot de- clares, why transoceanie com merce and transport plane cannot be built that will weigh a hun .dred tons or more and will carry seas. At all times the passengers gers for whom the French pio- neer plans space in his first air Infer.

invite COWGIRL
BACK TO RODEO
MURDER SCENE
Free of Stabbing Charge,
Riding Star Asked
to Perform.

BV United Press
LAKEVIEW, Ore, June 16.-A
wiry cowgirl who late last fall
emerged triumphant in dramatic
murder trial, will return to Lake
view this fall to win her way into
the affections of thousands of visi-
tors expected here for big railroad
celebration and annual roundup,
Sept. to 8.
Officials of the celebration COM
mittee announced that Lorena
Trickey, cowgirl and rodeo star, will
be offered a contract to appear
here during the three rodeo-rail-
road celebration days.
1t was in Lakeview that Lorena
was acquitted of numbering j. p.
(Slim) Harris, the handsome COW
man of whom she said Il love him
better than life itself" and there is
no doubt but that she will return
to visit her friends.
Taste of Old West
This celebration will be another
chapter in the now nearly COM
pleted book, 1.-THE Old West" 1t
commentaries the coming Of a
standard gauge railroad-the Ne
yada, California and oregon rail-
road.
For Lake County 1t means full
fillment of dream of many years
and will bring this isolated region
in the corner of oregon bordering
California and Nevada into closer
touch with the rest of the world.
Always a marvellous show because
it is still a part of cowland, the an
nual roundup will be bigger and
better than ever, with riders from
fifteen States competing.
Riders Leaving Ranges
1t was at the roundup a year
ago that the Smiling Slim Harris
went to his death with a knife in
his heart.
Lake County is still the colorful
cowland of the old days but with
the coming of the railroad indus
trial development seems destined
to drive the riders from the ranges
and to bring about a new phase of
civilization.
Just recently announcement was
made that the M. G. ranch. one of
the largest in the entire west, would
be subdivided into a Thousand small
! farms.
The old order is changing rapidly
and at the celebration Lakeview in
tends to portray vivid picture Of
the old order-led by the dashing
Lorena-and to blend with it like
ness of Their new scheme of things
contented farmers, railroads and
good highways.
