 Other, Have Courage

MARIETTA, Ohio, July 8.-Presi- dent Roosevelt asserted thai the Nation is on mental migration, seeking to open new frontiers o1 social economic security. To that modern movement he pledged anew, the leadership of his Adminlstra- tion and urged the people not to pc afraid to help each other.
 Let us never forget that the Government is ourselves and there is not an alien power over us, the President said in an address com memorating the 150th anniversary of the creation of the Northwest Territories.
 T believe the American people are not afraid of their own capacity to choose forward looking representa- tives to run the Government We want the same cooperative secur- ity and the same courage to achieve it in 1888 as in 1788," declared the Chief Executive.
 The speech was the first ot seV- eral the President will deliver on a cross-country tour designed to eX- pound the policies of the Adminis- tration and secure support at the polls for Liberal Senators and Rep- resentatives.
 The President came to this Ohio town on ten-car special train after an overnight trip from Wash ington.
 From Marietta the route lay to Covington, Ky, and also two other Kentucky points where he is ex- pected to advocate the renomina- tion of United States Senator All ben w. Barkley, Democratic floor leader.

 EnthuSed Over
 New Air Mail
Lawrence Expects Juneau Seattle Service to Start
 in About 60 Days

After a postal inspection trip to Seward. Anchorage, Fairbanks, Cir cle, Nome and Cordova, A. D. Law renee, Superintendent of Railway Mails a Seattle, was in Juneau to- day during the stay of the Baranof in port on her southbound trip. While here the Superintendent was taken out by Postmaster Albert Vile for an inspection of the Pacific AL aska Airways airport on the Glacier Highway.
 "I'd like to see if your airport out here is large enough to accommo- date the big, new four-motored planes they are planning to put on the Seattle-Juneau air mail route, !" he said, just before departing for the field.
 The Superintendent said he eX- pected to see the new service start ing between Juneau and Seattle in about 50 days, although it might take a little longer before the 
 equipment might be available.
 we've been working on its since 1884" he said, "and we are just as glad to see this mail tieup be- tween the States and Alaska as you are in the Territory It should prove of great benefit
 Commenting on the new service between Juneau and Fairbanks, the Superintendent said volume of mail going over the route was more than had been anticipated.
 "The weight is well over what we had estimated" he said, and it seems to hc increasing all the time. I am glad to note that there has been virtually no delay in the serv- ice due to bad weather It reveals that air mail service in the north is entirely practical.
 Just when it may come is hard to say, but consideration is being given by the Postoffice Department to extending the air mail service up the coast from Juneau to Westward cities, MT Lawrence said. "It is purely in the embroyo stage" he added, but it may come in time"
 J. w.. Cole, assistant to Harllee Branch, who has been Second As sistant Postmaster General but to- day was appointed Vice Chairman of the new Civil Aeronautics Au- thority, isS scheduled to leave Seat tie July 30 for trip to Alaska, MT. Lawrence reported unless there is change in plans due to MT. Branch's appointment to the Aero nautics Authority.
 Postmaster General James A. Far ley's itinerary is unchanged, the Superintendent reported. MT. Far ley will leave Seattle on the Aleu- tian July 16, arriving in Juneau on July 19. The Postmaster General will make the roundtrip on the Aleutian on her Westward trip, &C., cording to present plans, he said.

MYSTERY CRASH OF LAND PLANE
 IS CLEARED UP
San Diego Boat of Large Scale Prospecting Party
 Arrives Tn Juneau

The mystery" of the airplane which crashed on the shore of Ear embo Island June p, has been solved-the airplane is mo more, and the three men who were aboard at the time of the accident are "okeh."
 s. J. Long, San Diego man con- nected with a party of l8 interested in a join prospecting venture, ar rived in Juneau today aboard the 4715 foot tuna fisher Doris, from Skagway.
 Long said pilot Arc Chamberlain, who was flying the four-place Stan dard land plane which crashed, had left Kttchikan for Skagway, taking off from the beach at Bostwick h. let, had become lost, and had at tempted to return to Ketchikan, but fearing the high tide had covered the landing area, attempted to lflt the plane down on Zarembo N land beach.
 CraSheS-NGne InJured
 He hit a rock or something" '" Long said, bounced twenty feet in the air, came down, broke wheel and piled up. None of the three aboard were so much as scratched '
 The passengers with pilot Cham berlain were L. A. Prosser, San Die go business man, and Herman Maize a mining engineer, it was said
 Long said the cannery tender Vir- ginia picked up Maize to take him to Ketchikan, and left Prosser and Chamberlain on the beach. The Virginia met the vessel Doris, of San Lego, following the party, and Maize was transferred to that boat.
 Wreckage Fired
 The Doris then went to the scene of the accident and as much as pos sible was salvaged from the plane and the rest was set afire, the Doris continuing on to Skagway with the planes passengers and pilot.
 Prosser is said to be head of the prospecting expedition. Long said three planes were to be flown to Skagway for operations out of that town. After clearing from Hazelton, B. C., Chamberlain in the Standard, was separated from the other two planes, Bellanca and Travelair, and flew to the coast over the mountains, finally landing at Bost- wick Inlet, 10 miles south of Ket- chikan.
 Two Planes Safe
 The other two planes arrived safely at Skagway and Long said Prosser and several other men have flown between 200 and 300 miles into the country behind Cordova seeking some gold placer ground which Prosser has known about for some time"
 Long said the Doris would be sold in Juneau, and "a bigger boat would be bought in San Diego to use in connection with the operations
 However, Long said he did not know whether or not the larger craft would be brought up this year or next"
 Well know more of what it's all about when the planes get back from the Interior" Long said.
 In addition to the hard luck of airplane mishap, the vessel Doris has $1,000 fine hanging over its Californian decks for failure to clear from the States for Alaskan ports.
