Thanks, Mr.. Editor, for all the
nice things you said about The

But whatever commendable things
the writer might have done have
been made possible because of the

gratitude. They have mantled him
with a cloak of abiding humility

ever diminish. That is a sacred

Telephone Lines Are Down from Marshfield 10
 Portland

PORTLAND, Oregon, Sept. 29.- Fog and smoke lay this morning over great section of Western Oregon, extending as far inland as this city.
 Weather on ditions gave new hopes of cessation of the fire men zee which has laid sections of the Oregon coast in waste.
 An extremely dense fog swelled m over the Central Coast region where a series of fires were burn ing with considerable destruction to property at the last reports
 It is believed here that the dense fog has also extended to the Marsh field region where telephone lines were temporarily out of commission this morning. although it was ex- pected that the circuits would be repaired shortly.
 Reports far into the night told of fog approaching Marshfield which would assure calm weather and provide a barrier to further spread of the forest flames which destroy cd Bandon, an old town south of Marshfield, last Saturday night with loss of nine lives.

TOP OF WORLD AIR ROUTE IS PROPOSED NOW
Line Would Be Operated from Moscow, via AL
 aska, to Seattle
SOVIET OFFICIALS ARE IN CONFERENCE
Two Lanes Are Proposed for Commercial System
 to Be lnaugurated

MOSCOW, Sept. % Two ar routes across the Top of the World from Moscow to Seattle are being considered at a conference of So- viet authorities who are planning a commercial air line between Rus sia and the United States. The flight could be made in four or five days by easy stages, the officials said.
 The first route, although north ernly, is favored. It is approXi- mately 7250 miles long including 125 miles of open sea
 Via AldSka
 From Moscow the line would span Siberia, across Boring Strait down the coast via Cape Lawrence to Nome, Whitehorse and to Seattle.
 Southern Route
 The southern route, 1000 miles longer, is regarded as unsatisfac- tory because of generally unfavor- able meteorological conditions. This route would be from Moscow to Bay, then south to Ram Siberia, across the Aleu- tians, Boring Sea to Seattle via Seward, Alaska
 LeUoncriSkys Statement
 Sigismund Levanevisky, who re- gently flew from San Diego to Mos COW via Alaska and either route is entirely feasible
 The officials intimated they will stretch the proposed airline next year but no specific date has been set for opening the line, but will be discussed at a later conference.

RUSSELL OWEN ESCAPES WITH
 LIFE IN MISHAP
Auto-engine Powered Ship Ground Loops in Dusk
 Near PAA Runway
WHETHER FLIGHT WILL BE RESUMED UNDECIDED
Broken Tachometer Shaft Caused Flier to End Non-
 stop Flight Attempt Here

Miraculously escaping with his life, Test Pilot Russell Owen of Spokane, ended his projected non-, stop flight from Anchorage to Se- attle few minutes after o'clock last night here when his automo- bile-engine powered plane Se-aska crashed at the edge of the Pacific Alaska Airways runway when he was attempting to come in for a landing.
 Striking the rough ground at the east side of the runway, the spec ially built plane washed out" the undercarriage, nosed over, smash ing the propeller, and flopped on its back. Owen was cramped into such small space that he was un- able to move to unfasten his safety belt and was held in the ship with gasoline pouring over him until att tendants at the PAA hangars raced to his rescue. They lighted the ship and removed the pilot from the wreckage, scratched and bruised but little the worse for his experience. It was said to be little short of a miracle that the plane did not catch fire. If it had, Owen probably would have been cremated before aid could reach him, it was said.
 Whether the accident wrote finis 10 the flight was not certain today. Owen said:
 Uncertain ot Future
 Tt will be several days before I can decide what to do Repairing the plane probably will cost around $500, and as it just about broke me to get the plane in the air this time, I may have to store the ship here and leave it until next year"
 All the money raised for the ven- ture with the support of the Seattle Washingtonians had been spent in the two attempts to make the flight, the pilot said. Early in the summer Owen took off from An chorage on the flight but that time was forced back by bad weather.
 In case decision is made to resume the flight, Owen said, he had an extra propeller at Anchorage which is the major item needed.
 owen, despite his disappointment over the unhappy ending to his flight. was enthusiastic over tfe performance of the little ship. It took off at Anchorage with 2 load of 930 pounds, about 400 pounda
