Pays for RaiI
 Trip After
 .3I-Year Lapse

ONTARIO, Cal, April 13. = A railroad passenger fare from Iowa to California, 31 years overdue, has been paid at last.
 An aged man stepped into a ticket office here recently, and in a trembling voice announced that he wished to make amends for a wrong he perpetrated against the company early in 1898
 His was the story of a father with a large family, who needed the call of the west. But when final arrangements had been made he lacked fare for one member of his flock. So he devised a special packing box which was sent with the household goods, in which his son made the trip.
 "The ride must have turned the boys ambition toward a railroad career" the man beamed as he paid the fare, because today he is a COT ductor."

Austrian Diggers Find
 Gold Buried Long Ago

VIENNA, April 13-Gold believed buried sixteen centuries ago by Ro- man legionnares has been found in field at Haffnerbach, near Vienna, during boring tests for water.
 At a depth of "A feet the dig gers found rich deposits of gold dust mixed with clay and earth, several ounces of pure metal being obtained from every few handfuls of earth.
 Mining experts believe Roman legionnaires originally took the gold from nearby river and hid it in it's present location for safe keeping during an attack from a migratory tribe. It is assumed the Romans intended to send their treasure to Rome to be minted, but probably suffered defeat and wers forced to abandon their wealth.

Senator Reed Serves Mo- tice that Fight on One
 VIII Be to Finish

WASHINGTON, April 18,-Con- flict between President Hoover and members of his party in the Senate on three important proposals, and between the House and Senate on at least another one, appeared cer- tain as Congress swung into full stride.
 The decision of the Senate on the agriculture provision on export products brought the possibility of a sharp difference between the two Chambers. The plan has been def initely excluded in the House bill.
 The Republicans in the Senate are divided on the National origins clause of the immigration act which the President wants sus- pended, and also, on the desire of the President $J have tariff re- vision limited principally to agri- cultural schedules.
 Senator Gerald P. Nye, of North Dakota, has drafted a bill to meet the HISS4uSlllldl ouSSCotloA4 AOA oeS pension of the origins clause but Senator Reed served notice there will be a fight to the end against such a move.
 Senator Johnson announced he will call the Senate Immigration < Committee to meet immediately z ss..-.sa-. 4lsf.f ,sei = . ss- Sion of the clause which has been proclaimed effective July 1. It pro- vides new basis for immigration and drastically revises the present quotas.
 Senator Reed also declared against any attempt at limited tariff revision.

 port, Inc, arrived in Juneau
 fternoon at 1:24 o'clock with
 ard. The plane is the larg- ' est coming north on the present exploitation and surveys being made regarding extension of a reg ular air passenger service from Se- att'e to Juneau.

Iver- son. of Cordova, who paid SIO0 for the trip to Juneau, and Mrs. c. M.

 Type of Plane
 As the name denotes, the plane lis of the type that can take-off from the water or from land. A boat type of fuselage forms the underbody. Wheels that can be drawn into the hull at the will of the pilot are an integral part. When taking off from land these wheels are drawn in to lessen the air resistance. The plane is the same type as the Navy has used lin the air mapping work 1T, Alaska 1 in recent years with the exception that the Wright Cyclone motor of 45O horsepower is used. This gives the plane an air speed of 125 miles an hour. This speed was maintained most of the distance north.
 While the ship is ordinarily ten-paSsenger plane, for this flight north some of this space was de- voted to gas space.
 1 MT. Gorst after arriving here stated that the return trip south would start tomorrow. Passengers will be carried at $1o0 each to Seattle.
 Purpose of Trip The object of the trip, said MT Gorst, is to show the Post Office officials that flight north witf stops made on schedule could bt : made successfully, also to show 9 the people that we are interested and are working towards establish ing regular service to and iron the States to Alaska.
