Currently his income from motion

Whether the policies contained
disclaimed clauses in event of death
or accident resulting from air
travel could not be learned.
Most of his insurance invest
ments were increased substantially
during the last two years, financial
sources reported. In 1882, however,
Spectator, an insurance trade paper,
listed Mr.. Rogers among $1,000000
policy holders. Publication of the
list has since been discontinued.
Mr.. Rogers was a large owner OF
real estate in Southern California
and Oklahoma. Shortly before his
death it was said that he was
negotiating for the purchase of a
large cattle ranch in the Southwest.
Bought Government Bonds
In financial circles it was said
that the humorist was a buyer of
government bonds in large blocks.
Contrary to frequent reports, Mr..
Rogers never invested in stocks, nor
were any of his real property hold
ings encountered by mortgages, as
far as could be learned.
Mr.. Rogers won the respect of his
financial associates for canninesS of
his investments. In all business
affairs he was extremely shreWd, his
friends said. He was lose-mouthed
in discussing his business ventures,
however, and he gave Mrs. Rogers
a great deal of credit for the success

were broken.
Some of the personal effects

comprised mainly maps of Siberia,
Russian dictionaries, and notes on

Mr.. Rogers were on a vacation

The plane was left untouched.
Plans for its salvage had not been

before it can be taken out Of this

Mr.. Post and Mr.. Rogers arrived
in Alaska a week ago. Mrs. Post
had intended accompanying them,
but there was q last minute change
of plans and she left them at
Seattle to return to their home in
Oklahoma. They had visited
Alaskan points and were en- route
from Fairbanks TO Point Barrow.
Lost in a fog, they descended to
the river to inquire directions and
also for Mr.. Post to work on his en-

talked to the natives while Mr.. Post
worked on the motor. Then they
ate their dinner on the bank with
