The motor of the Fair child" failed in the final takeoff and the plane landed in the trees at the edge of the lake, completely wrecking the plane. Pilot Blunt was not seriously injured.
 The "Fleetser" landed on the ice of the lake, which broke and the plane sank in thitry-five feet of water. The "F1eetser" is being sal mged.
 Edward Lowe Jn., persident of the Pacific International Company, was standing on the ice when the "Fleetser" collapsed. He suffered a drenching and bad shock.

Bad weather has held Was son in Whitehorse. If the wealth CT improves it will be hard to say which needs him worse. Burke or the Pacific International Airways.- Prince Rupert Empire.

Wasson's Story


 Last Friday morning Wasson and Walsh took off from Whitehorse with the intention of making Liard Post with the view of securing some authentic information as to the di- rection in which Burke was flying when he passed over that neighbor- hood. Before the post was reached, however, they were forced to make a landing owing to a snow storm which was encountered. They land ed on small lake about 40 miles from the post There they remain ed over night and on Saturday morn ing found they had not sufficient runway to permit the plane to rise. so secured the help of a number of Indians to cut 5000 feet of roadway through a forest of standing timber. After taking off they followed up the Liard river, the direction talk en by Burke when last seen as re- ported by their Indian helpers. They ran into another snow storm and were obliged to seek a landing place on a small lake near the Pelly range. On Monday morning they returned to the Liard river and To- cated an Indian camp where they were informed that Burke's plane had been seen by them also, head ing up river flying low. Further on an Indian cabin was seen on the bank of the river, from which two Inidan women emerged and ran into the woods. apparently much fright ened. They continued on up stream and when about forty miles above the cabin Burke's plane was located on the river.
 The plane had made good land- ing and did not appear to have been damaged. Wasson and Walsh brought their plane down to SOO fet and circled the spot several times and were satisfied that the plane had landed in the river un- damaged. No signs of any kinds were seen near the plane, and as there was no chance to land nearby owing to the rough condition of the ice and the country, they decided tc locate a suitable landing place as close as possible. A lake Is miles away was chosen, to which point they left yesterday, equipped witf snowshoes. supplies, etc, and to- day they expect to cover the 1S miles of rough mountainous coun try intervening between their land ing place and the Lizard river.
 Monday, when they returned iron the four-day search, but ten gallons of gas remained in the plane.

tenth street. and on New York avenue
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth,
where equally large buses park at an
angle, projecting their rear ends into
the street almost as far as the street
car tracks, are pretty well known and
should be regarded as menacing to
pedestrian and automobile traffic.
The bus terminal problem has been
complicated by the lack of power on the
part of the Commissioners to compel the
use Of a central, union terminal. as
there is no union terminal. Neither
the bus companies nor private enter
prise has seen fit to build q union ter
minal, as the bus companies have been
getting along very well without one.
Well arranged and convenient waiting
rooms for the bus patrons have re-
placed the ramshackle makeshifts that
once were made to serve, but the buses
continue to use the streets for parking
space, loading and unloading, and the
bus stations are located where normal
conditions alone serve to congest traffic.
The Commissioners might find it adj
visable to order. the big interstate bus
stations out of the congested traffic
district, unless they agree to furnish
and build one downtown union ter
minal, with the buses parked of the
street. That problem has been allowed
to take care of itself long enough, and
direct measures are necessary.

States Of America. 1t is what is
claimed to be the "deadliest machine
gun in the world, capable of firing bull

at the rate of 800 shots Minute"
This significant contribution to world
culture has been invented, We ARE told
by a travelling salesman, who, "diSap-

World War. has since devoted his spare
time to gun making"
1t seems q pity that he missed his
chance of seeing the World War at first

discovered that it was not, after all,
fought with popguns, and that many
who shared in 1t saw no particular ne
cesSity for toiling to improve the lethal
weapons then employed. But in the
next war a special effort should be
made to find room for this inventor
light clerical work might be provided,
at eight and half miles behind the
line, where he would still stand q
chance Of being plugged 800 times in
so seconds by travelling samples of his
own .5-caliber bullets.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL.

is not profiting at all by the expert
ences of the talking machine industry.
That interesting manufacture went
into commerce as q talking machine"
The largest and most successful
makers kept that name.
The machine, however, shortly evo-
luted into music machine.
While talking was allowed, and many
speech records were made, the over
whelming number of musical disks
turned out in about quarter of a CEN
fury firmly established the photograph
as a musical instrument.
Today radio doesn't know whether it
is a talking machine or music ma
chine.
Every listener knows.
He knows that his radio is first and
last a musical instrument.
Radio is music or nothing.
Not that it cannot speak for itself
The radio has unparalleled oppor-
tunity to speak, because 1t brings the
lifelike tones of a real man or woman
at the other end of the waves.
He or she is there, talking, and some
thing of that presence, although across
seas, makes its way through space to
the listening ear and brain.
But it can be overdone.
Radio consistently has refused learn
ing anything from the experience OF
the photograph people.
The great drive in the latter industry,
after Edison made his first hand
cranked machine, was for tone quality.
A device which could increase tonal
values, even per cent, was gobbled up
quickly. The tragedy was that per-
lection did not come until too late.
New tone chambers, new forms OF
needles, new sound boxes all helped to
put other makes on the market.
Better processes of record making
were for tone quality.
Yet when the radio first came into
popular acceptance tone quality was
something which had to be sold to the
rank and file of the listeners.
At first 1t was all distance"
Every one who knows his radio will
recall the first two or three years, when
the tones of the piano were distorted
into tinny excruciating SOUND as OF
pianoforte gone mad.
'Tone quality" which should have
been sought first of all (and was, of
course, by some), had to wait until
about two years ago to come into its own
The quality today is the favorite OF
the radio gods.
All tnaL Is lacking 10 make LIE IhulO
the perfect home musical instrument is
the serious consideration by all broad
casters Of the ever-increasing tendency
of the human voice to hog the ring
We, for one, submit that the trend
should be the other way. Human be-
ings, who always like to hear the sound
of their own voices, will ruin radio I'M
less some stop is put to this eternal talk,
talk, talk
1t is almost impossible now to turn
on set, at any time of day or night
without running smack-dab into the
human voice.
We are tired of hearing people talk.
Everybody is, we believe. Let us have
music, more music, better music, softer
music.

100000 listeners which the broadcast

You have heard the successful prize
fighters, how they run to the micro
phone and yell, Hello, mother: hello,
everybody down in Armadillo. TeX!"
OF course. it is commendable for a
man to think of his mother, and no
doubt the folks down in Armadillo get
quite kick out of hearing Sammy
Sampach, the new champion, speak to
them.
Mother is mighty proud of her boy,
at least the sporting pages say she is,
and If she isn't. mother is a good sport
and never once lets on to the world
that she would have been better pleased
II Sammy had taken up a quiet but
safe job in the hometown grocery.
AS for the worthy citizens of Arma-
dillo, no listener in the wide world
would blame them in the slightest for
being rather ''set up over Sans

A greeting to them was expected and
highly necessary, If Sammy wished to
avoid being looked upon as stuck up"

The rostrum is dwarfed.

Napoleon, standing under the shadow
