kon-another HOO mile trek. There was strong west wind which grew to 40 mile gale as climbed to 1000 feet in order to clear the Canadian Rockies. had 10 hours of gas in the tanks when left. but the hard head wind reduced my speed to such an extent that upon reach ing Hazelton. slightly more than half way between Edmonton and Whitehorse. found that did not have enough gas to reach my destina tion. I could no go on and had to find suitable landing place, which I did at Vanderhoof, British Columbia, where I put the ship down in a small ploughed field about three miles north of the village.
 Due to the time wasted in getting fuel. there was not enough day light left for me to continue on to Whitehorse where there are no facilities for night landing. I therefore decided to remain at Vanderhoof until dawn Saturday.
 took off at 3 a. m. and reached Whitehorse after four and half hours of extremely difficult flying The peaks of the mountains were obscured in clouds and I had to pick my way along the valleys and streams. Luckily, there was no wind to bother me.
 Following nearly three hours of valley chasing, having zig-zagged up one valley down another I came out at Atlin Lake. directly on my course, but somewhat the worse for wear, as flying at 150 miles an hour along winding bottoms of valleys hemmed in by rugged mountains, is not condu- cive to restful meditation.
 From Lake Atlin on. the wealth
 cleared somewhat and I land ed, took on gas and left for Fair banks. Here I refueled, hopped off for Nome, and once again I had low clouds and mist as travel ing companions.
 STOP MADE AT NOME reached Nome at 6:10 D. m having covered the 1,500 miles from Vanderhoof in 12- hours. | remained at Nome one hour and then returned to Fairbanks. getting there at II p. m. still broad daylight.
 After five hours of rest, left for Whitehorse where arrived at $40 a. m, refueling and set out for Edmonton. was within 200 miles of that city with the worst part of my journey behind me when the trouble which even tually forced me to land began to develop.
 About half way between Prince George and Jasper just as I was starting to gain altitude to clear the last mountain range before reaching the open prairie country my engine suddenly sputtered and l uf altitude adjustment. was set too low. I immediately glanced at my gas-pressure guage which indicat- ed normal pressure.
 The motor, however, continued to falter and at times would stop speed keeping the propeller churn- ing. Then. again it would pick up for few moments it would function smoothly. Meanwhile I kept losing altitude.
 I saw the handwriting on the wall and realized that unless q miracle happened the flight was over. For that reason my anxiety was divided between the dying 1ootor and .he utter absence of a space big enough to land a plane on in that rocky and de- solate region.
 ---- DIFFICULTY IN LANDING --.- | I had unbuckled my safety belt and was ready to jump, much as I hated to leave my ship, but

 OF DISASTER


 aska and any point in the United States is entirely practical" ac- cording to the report of Captain Ross G. Hoyt, who recently flew from New York to Nome. Part of his report was made public by the Department of War on August 4,
 Captain Hoyt also reported that his flight proved the feasibility of long range pursuit. Although he reached Nome he was forced to land on his return trip due to water in his gasoline tanks.
 In the report he is now prepar- ing. Captain Hoyt tells the story of his flight from the time he left New York cn the afternoon of July IS until his ship nosed over in small clearing in the heart of the Canadian Rockies at sunset on Sunday, July 21, Just dS Ht ilciu Npilipltitu p'VpV miles of his S,460-mile itinerary.
 The full text of the section of the report made public by the Department of War follows:
 Immediately after the christen- ing of the plane by Mrs. Trubee Davison, I climbed into the cock pit, gave the motor a brief test and took off easily with full load of 260 gallons. the ship weighing at the moment of take off approximately two And a quarter tons.
 Shortly after leaving New York for Minneapolis-my first stop-I encountered intense thunder storms with accompanying rains and a high southeast wind blow ing directly across my 1.000-mile course. These storms grew in in tensity as I proceeded westward over New York state and reached their peak over Lake Erie and Lake Michigan.
 The air was so rough that I had trouble in holding the ship in ac- curate compass course. Also low clouds and heavy rain made it impossible for me to see either shore while crossing the lakes.
 It was not until I passed over Manitowoc, Wisconsin, that I was sure I was on my course. Here the clouds began to lift and soon I flew in brilliant sunshine.
 From then on until I reached Minneapolis at dusk, I had clear sailing. I left Minneapolis shortly after dark and headed for Ed monton. HOO miles away
 The moon shore brightly as I circled the Minneapolis field, but I had covered less than 100 miles before clouds again began to ob- scure my course, while lightning to the north and south told me it was hopeless to attempt to circle the storm. I had no alternative other than to go through it, which I did the next two hours flying at an altitude of from 5000 to 2,500 feet navigating entirely by in- strument and unable to see any thing below me even when the darkness was temporarily rent by flashes of lightning.
 After two hours of flying of this I came out into clear moonlight and sometime thereafter saw the glow of light of a large city appear in the horizon Tn a few minutes I was over what I hoped to be Regina, Saskatchewan. This hope was presently confirmed when I identified Moosejaw, an- other large city, slightly to the South of Regina
 I was on my course with 800 miles to go. From Regina to Ed nonton there were no landma rks which could be checked on at night. Altohugh morning twilight begins in that region about 3 o'clock the fact that was travel ing due northwest and away from the dawn, made darkness follow me until within 20 miles of Ed monton where I landed at 3:45

VETERAN OF KIT CARSON CAVALRY
 IS STILL ALIVE

. NEW ALBANY, Ind, April J. A survivor of the famous Kit Car son first cavalry, New Mexican vol unteers, quietly is spending the de- clining years of his life at his home here Dr. Hugh J. Needham when only 19 years old yielded to the lure of adventure in the far west when the names of Kit Carson, Wild Bill and Buffalo Bill were on the lips of every American youth.
 Arriving at Pairville, Colo, Au- gust IT, 1862, Needham enlisted in Company M. He was mustered into service at Fort Garland Colo, and began campaigning with the troop CTS. As evidence of some of the thrilling experiences, the aged vet eran today carries two large scars made by arrows and bullets fired by Comanche braves in one of the numerous skirmishes.
 pr. Needham was finally dis charged at Fort Union, N. M, Oc- tober 8, 1886, when he returned and made his home here. Dr. Needham practiced medicine here Is years, and was United States Commissioner of the Federal Dis trict Court nine years, and has been prominent in Masonic so- cietieS.

National Automobile Chamber of Commerce This is not all spent directly the machines themselves but on cars and things which the automotive in- dustry has made necessary.
 The purchase of new cars forms the largest item -$3 830 100000 Then comes the national bill for gasoline and oil which amounts to $2,370oOooo0 Tires and spare parts cost another $200Oooo0o0 Chauffeurs and drivers paid $2,225 ooO000 Roads and streets come in for $160o,000000. Garage and service charges amount to $1ol5,0ooooo. The re- mainder something like $935,oo000o goes for in- surance taxes permits and similar items.
 It is an enormous bill but it must be worth it for the people pay it without serious complaint One wonders, also, what would happen to the gen. eral prosperity if the automotive industry should be wiped out of existence.

TUESDAYS ELECTION.

The citizens of the community in Tuesdays elec- tion in no uncertain manner voiced their approval of the administration of city government during the past year by Mayor Thomas B. Judson and the Council of which he is the head In electng him for a third term, the voters expressed con- fidence in his ability to them faithfully in the coming year as well putting the seal of their approval the past year With a majority of practically 200 votes he returned to office. That is sufficiently large for all purposes
 On the ticket with MT. Judson, D. M BothweIl and Lockie MacKinnon were elected by majorities almost as large his The third successful candndate G. E. Krause, made the race on the opposition ticket All three are progressive busi- w. S. George, c. H MacSpadden and Walter P. Scott can be depended to give the City an economic and efficient administration of it's busi- ness affairs, one that will compare favorably with that of the past year The retiring members of the Council Messrs H. T. Tripp, Warren H. Wilson and Charles G. Warner have rendered valuable service to the City during their encumbency. MT. Warner was the only of the trio to seek re- election, and lost by the margin of Il votes He and the others retiring are owed debt of gratitude by the citizens for the time and effort they expended at some personal sacrifice on the Citys business
 While MT M. L. Merritt was unopposed for re- election as School Director 63l voters marked theii ballots for hinl-a fine complimentary vote and one that was really deserved in view of the fine manner in which he has filled the directors office during his first term.

Simple Words.
(Bangor Commercial.)


 Is it true that the English language is about to be transformed into a language of short words spoken with a rapid, staccate utterance? That is the dismal prospect pleasant-depending on the way one looks at such thngs-suggested by a noted phologist
 A language which has dispensed with infection is the way to "monosylabalism' word which goes comfortably far to correct the tendency which it Then there is also the subtle influence of slang. which tends always to invent short sharp substitute for any word that places the least strain on the tongue and wind; and popular custom in- eYtaby adapts itself to the line of least resistance Then again there is the influence of the vernacu- lar, which is becoming more and more potent thanks to it's vivid picturesque and humorous quality which so easily disarms resentment of its vugarity.
 It is easy to believe that the tendency toward monosylabasm is stronger in English than in any other language. Any one who dabbles in verse making is painfully of the difficulty of avoid ing those strings of monosyllabes which fatal to rhythm and cadence
 And yet here may be hope. For whatever may be the syllable degeneration of their language the English speaking peoples retain their simple affec- ton for long words And, after all, the habit of using simple words for simple things isn't all bad.

One Result of the Jones Act.
(New York World.)

Pending the verdict of time, it would be rash to debate most of the predictions made regarding the Jones Act. The experience of the State with the harshest enforcement law, Indiana is that harsh ness has handicapped and not assisted enforce ment. But all the contradictory prophecicS-that the Jones Act will drive out the big bootleggers and rum runners, that it will simply make the big boot leggers and shoot to kill that it will result in more convictions, that it will result in more acquittals and on-will be tested by exper- fence.
 One prediction, however, may be made with cer- tainty In proportion the Jones Act is effective in abolishng the big vioator, it will certainly multi ply the small violator in proportion as it dscourages the large-scae bootlegger it will encourage the snall-scae bootlegger In particular any destruction of former sources of supply will encourage home brewing and e-fermenting. For past experience furnishes unassailable basis for this prediction Wherever enforcement has become relatively ef- fective the sale of malts grapes, grapejuice and home -disting apparatus has doubled, trebled and quadrupled. In quarters hostile to the Vol stead Act the new law may be regarded with ap- prehenson. But interests which sell these commo- dities will look upon it with compacency.
