Waiting For Mail

About 10 white persons are at Bettles, most of them having come down from the mines over a week ago for the mail. But it was not scheduled to leave Fair banks until today, so they have had a long wait. Most of the whites are from Wild Lake and the South Fork of the Koyukuk.

 From Chicago
 Among those at Bettles were Joe Smith, Jr. and his young wife. They went into the Koyu- kuk four years ago after travel ing directly from Chicago and have remained there ever since. He was a taxi driver in Chicago and Mrs. Smith was a telephone operator. The contrast betWa cen their present and former life is a great one but they appear to be perfectly happy where they are now.
 Ernest Johnson and his brother Ely Hanson and Frank Smith, are also at Bettles.
 MT. Gale has been washing gold from the bars right opposite Bet ties and is said to have recovered up to $10 a day. He had to quit when the freezeup came and will go out prospecting this winter.
 Mining at Wild Lake is going ahead and the region shows every indication of making a camp.
 When Wien left here he took MT. Lehto and full load of frei- ght to Alatna. Lehto will be joined later by Al West and they will put in the winter prospect ing.

BOB BUCK TO SEEK
THREE new RECORDS
Youthful Flyer Will Leave Boil
ing Field at 6 AM. To-
morrow.

Bob Buck, youthful light airplane
record holder, Is to take of from
Boiling Field at am. tomorrow in
an attempt to smash one world and
two national records for light land
planes.
Flying q Monocoupe cabin mono
plane. he will undertake to estab-
lish national records for speed for
1000 kilometers 1921 1863 miles, and
for 1000 kilometers Q,242.739 miles,
and an international record for 1000
kilometers.
He is to fly a measured triangular
course with its corners at Boiling
Field, Floyd Bennett Airport, New
York, and Willoughby Spit, near Nor
folk, Va. He expects to cruise at an
average speed of about 100 miles per
hour, passing oyer Boiling Field at
the end of the first lap at about noon
and landing here at the end OF the
second lap at about pm, after a
l2-hour flight.
National Aeronautic Association
officials will be stationed at the three
control points to check the flight.
Buck recently established an in
ternational distance record for light
airplanes from the Pacific Coast to
Columbus, Ohio. He dropped his
landing gear after the take-off and
landed on belly skid at Columbus.

owner. "He just seems to know when
we have bought a fresh supply Of
growing mash from our pet shop man
and follows after us, onk, onking, un-
til we feed him again and again He
likes all kinds of fresh vegetables. too,
especially lettuce and tomatoes. Angle
worms are the dessert he likes best.
It's always a party when you give
Wimpie some more just after you have
finished feeding him. To tell you the
truth. just don't believe you can fill
Wimpie up."
Certainly, several glimpses at VIM
pies full to over-flowing craw which
seems in noway to impede his rather
fleet locomotion when he SO wishes, had
made us wonder about the advisability
of much longer continuing "the grow
ing mash" element in his diet.
Will Bring Charlotte Home.
The crowning story about Wimpie
is one that Charlotte's little playmates
tell. They declare that Wimpie goes
to hunt for Charlotte whenever Mrs.
Kause needs her and says Wimpie,
GO find Charlotte for me-" Wimpie
will waddle off, find Charlotte, peck at
her legs or skirts until she starts
homeward, and then accompany her
with pride to her mother as much as
to say, Here she is" Certainly, this
has occurred often enough, Mrs. Kause
smilingly admits, Ito warrant the chill
drens assumption"
AS my delighted youngsters and I
were driving off after as fascinating
an afternoon as we could remember
with Wimpie and his playmates, we
saw Charlotte come out to play with
her jumping rope. Presently she was
Joined by Anna Marie, Buddy and
Wimpie, with Wimpie as nearly taking

a duck to do. His funny little side
stepping movements were so comical
that we were almost teary-eyed with
laughter as he obligingly, "onk, onked'
to us, in reply to our parting saluta-
ton, "Good-by. Wimpie." Certainly,
Wimpie in his present environment
seems to have almost proven that q
duck can enjoy being a land lubber.

Thornton Hall, the new engineering
building. which has been completed
at a cost of s424.000, was dedicated
today with simple ceremonies at which
Dean Walter S. Rodman, head of the
Engineering School, was the only
speaker.
How the teaching of engineering was
begun in 1888 by Prof. William Barton
Rogers was told by Dean Rodman.
He told how this noted teacher of
natural science remained at the Uni
versity of Virginia for Is years before
gong to Boston, where, in 1865, he be-
came founder of the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology.
Dean Rodman also paid tribute to
the man for whom the new building
is named, Dean william M. Thornton,
who died last Fall after so years asso-
citation with the university as student,

for a Federal payment of no less than

motion and passed over other reports
because Of the late hour.

Smithsonian, After 9 Years,
Tells Flyer of Hidden

BS inc ASSOcl2Ieo FreSSs
1t has taken Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh nine years to discover some Of
the secrets of the plane he few to
Paris-and then q museum had to
tell him about them.
On one of his visits in disguise to
the Smithsonian Institution, Lind
bergh learned that hidden away In
the structure of the Spirit Of st. Louis
were the signatures Of many Of the
workmen who built the monoplane to
span the Atlantic.
The plane had undergone count
less close inspections by its pilot with
out these good luck" signatures be-

Popular With Tourists.
The Spirit Of st. Louis still rates in
popularity with tourists about even
with the old sightseeing standby,
the Washington Monument. 1t hangs
in the Museum, wing-and-wing with
a type 16 Spad, IN which King Edward
Of England once flew above World War
battle lines.

CARRIER, who said he'd just been
getting up some facts on Smith
sonian's most priced exhibits for an
once Of Education broadcast, has
been able to tell Lindbergh a few
things about his own plaus.
Finds Autograph.
In giving the old plane a cleaning
with some soft soap, CARRIER found
about 40 nner-autographs, some in
side the spinner cap. some under the
floor boards.
They were there because the men
who worked on the Spirit, out in San
Diego, shared a bit Of Lindbergh's
vision After putting in whole lot
OF crack craftsmanship, they were so
sure the Spirit would make history
they sent her out Of the factory all
documented.
Lindbergh didn't know about it un-
til CARRIER told him. He was much
interested and CARRIER is saving all
the names he finds for the flyer.
After seven years Of lying around a
Minnesota hangar, the original tires
recently found an historic resting
place inside the fuselage of the plane.
Lindbergh retired on his triumphal
trip around the country, then hap
pened to drop in again at that hangar
before leaving for Europe.
"Whatll we do with these tires,
Slim?" the boys asked.
Send 'em to Smithsonian was
his answer.
The Spad neighbor of the Spirit OF
st. Louis belonged to the late Gen.
William Mitchell. Mitchell piloted the
then Prince of Wales for two hours
over the front lines.
