Aside from some unolllclal gossip. nothing new developed in the .local railroad situation today. Engineer Hindmarsh ami his crew completed the tests for the founda tion of the bridge across Coos Hay this morning and "pulled stakes, ' preliminary to leaving for the Fmp qua, whero they will make tests for the bridge there. Engineer Hind- marsh ami his men will go up to morrow morning on the stage and the equipment will be taken up by the tug (llenner It Is stated that the tests hero have been more than Batlsfnrtory. While they did not find bedrock, they found sand and gravel In which the concrete piers can be easily built. Humor S. P.-WINey Deal. Yesterday the rumor was revived nbout the possibility of W. J. Wllsoy buying the Major Kinney properties on Coos Hay for the Southern ratine. No ono here credited the rumor very much. The story wns that the delay In concluding the Klnney-Wllsey deal might also bo one of the reasons for the delay In the local construction work of the Southern Pacific, It was stated that when the Kinney property Is tnkon over, the renl routes of the S. P. on the Hay will be known mid then it will also be known where the shops, yards, etc., will be. The Idea that Wllsoy, who has been lighting with the S. P. for the past several years and was almost broke by the S. P. when tho Drnln-Coos Hay project was out could now be repre senting that company seems unbe lievable to those who know him. Howover. more unlikely things have huppcmled. It was stated by one Mnrshllcld man, dose In touch with the Kin ney affairs, that the Southern Pacific at one time, not long ngo, refused to consider tho direct purchase of the Kinney properties. Work on Survey. It was stated that there was noth ing new In the negotiations between the Southern Pacific and the North Hend city ollltials about street grades and that thoro probably will not be until an answer Is received from Chief Engineer Hood about the North Hend proposition. However, Engi neer Wheeler and his assistants lire working away on profiles, etc. No Terminal New.. No speclllc news has been received nbout the Teriulnul Hallway and Southern Pacific negotiations and thero probably will not be tiny pre vious to C. A. Smith's visit hero soon. Other Tunnel Wnik. Mllo Plerson, who Is In from Ten Mile todny, reports that the prospects are that the construction of the two small tunnels this sldo of the Wind Creek tunnel will be started soon. No olllclnl announcement has been made but Intimations have been giv en by the men at Lakeside, who are to do the work on the big tunnel. These two tunnels are each nbout Till) feet long and are In the dis trict over which there Is much dis cussion as to who has the contract MiicArthur. Perks company or Porter llrothers. IV.-Fighting Fear In Cloudland F Copyright In (Jreat Britain and Canada. All rights reaurvod. EW nvlators will admit that they have any fear In flying. Yet 1 venture to assert that there Isn't u man using an aeroplane today who does not feci a sinking sensation either Jut before he mounts his sent or shortly after ward or many times after ho gets well Into the air. The late Halph Johnstone exhibited lest fear than any man 1 have ever known, yet he admitted to me that he frequently found himself on the verge of paulc while performing some of his most dangerous evolutions. He, how ever, was tho type of man who kept absolute control of himself, ami he never allowed this feeling the upper hand. Ho unconsciously Illustrated this power of control when shortly be fore his unfortunate end he tojd mo ono day of n plan he had of turning; a back somersault In the air. "I want to got up about tt.OOO foot." ho said, drawing a diagram on a piece ner won: nmt looking strong enough to balance a machine with two men your size. Completely reassured, .you turn ngnln to your climbing. Your nerves aro terribly shaken by this few moments of panic, but you make up your mind thnt it shall not occur again, and you grit your teeth and shove her nose upward once more. I'smilly the danger Is over almost be fore the aviator can realize It. It keeps h!m busy. Kvery nerve and ev ery' faculty Is worked to tho utmost to overcome the danger, and there Is only a tlghtulugllke pusslug sensation of awful horror. A Flight of Torture. Hut one? In nwhllo we do get caught under circumstances that make (lying n long continued torture, nnd one of these times that 'I shall never forget occurred to me during the meet at Lanark. Scotland, a day or two before I made the world's altitude record. I rose gradually In big circles and was.

He admitted that ho was afraid of It, but he was determined thnt he would do it. Captain Thomas S. Hnldwin Is prob ably us seasoned a veteran of air peril us Is ullvo todny. For many years he went about the world ballooning and parachute Jumping nnd then ho took to tho aeroplane. No one lu watching him would think that he knew the inclining of the word fear. Yet a friend of mine once asked him If he ever felt nervous, and ho replied: "Scared to death every tlmo I take my seat. Sumo days my mechanics have to shove mo on to the machine. Then, when 1 get her started, I am all right and the fear vanishes. Hut I am u baby until I hour thu motor going." Different Forms of Fear. Some men feel their greatest fear at the thought of the cugluo stopping suddenly nnd without warning. 1 hale never been troubled by (his, though 1 have had It happen to me several times. Each time, however. 1 man need In get down safely, and I have ulwuys felt that thero was u good chnnco in favor of the aviator If he ..i'l';.i hi i head nnd tunes us gradual ti slant downward us Is needed to give him control of his machine. 1 know several men, though, who have never got over their nervousness ut the thought of volplaning, as they term coasting down without power. The slightest sound In the engine that hint.) of trouble puts them In tho same pilule that thu thought -of thu tall uf my i'crophtuo puts mo when 1 am out for nltltudo records. As u man mounts higher mid high er Into the air tho familiar ob jects of earth fade from his sight l ml he becomes overpowered with u sense of being absolutely alone of be ing cast adrift and dependent entirely upon his owu resources and upon u Itower plant which ha knows may fall him at any moment Up nnd up ho climbs, and soon he enters tho region of the clnmN. Ho seems to be whizzing through an Im mense void with neither sides nor top uor bottom, ami tho unreality of it all mid tho Immensity of It oppress him and the nerves begin their unpleusant llttlo tremor that tell of approaching fear. Then nbovo the clouds he bursts into the glurlng, brilliant sunlight, and hero again ho meets conditions that Increase tho jiervo tremors. Sudden gusts of wind catch him, They aro quick and dangerous Just above the clouds on a Htmsliliiy day. nnd they give no wnrnlng of their approach, so it meuus every faculty on edge to pre pare for all kinds of contingencies, and tho strain begins to tell. So one grits one's teeth and sits tighter and looks to tho whirling propeller or tho anemometer or anything to take oue's mind off the loneliness and tho vast ness nud his owu Impudence In corn lug up so high into a region in which bo has no rights. When Fear Laughs at You. Up uear tho top qt the climb, when tho last few mad minutes of p(uuglug nnd rlslug, plunging and rising, begin, fear seems to laugh at you for trylug to keep It away from you. Now the nerves uro goue. They Jump nnd strain, and yon fancy you hear mid see things, and then your fears concentrate on n noise behlud you, and suddenly you realize that you nre goue tho tall has come loose! It is rattllug on its broken wires now. and at the next plunge It will bo wrenched off completely and leave you helpless In tho ono awful straight drop down to tho earth that is lurking un der tho clouds thousauds of feet be low you. You take u quick glauce over your shoulder and tlud the tall In tirst class snape. holainc tho machine to was going nt a rate of hbout sixty miles nn hour. I was suddenly over whelmed with thu stupefyiut; realiza tion that the only thing It could be wua a piece of the fabric with which the framework of the rib was covered nnd which gives the supporting sur face of an aeroplane. To the layman the full import or such n rcnllzntluti cannot be understood In lis full force. Urielly It meant that Hie cloth which alone hekl me In the air luitl begun lo rip on that side, nnd I knew that ut the tremendous speed ul which I was going It would take only one good grip of the wind under such u small opening to tear the entire fabiie from front to rear, whip It off the frauui and leave me absolutely unsupported on that sldo to go crashing below. All this Hashed across my mind In an' Instant, nud I made up my mind to turn nbout and try to get back to tho aviation Held. 1 came down lu ns easy curves ns I could because I did not wntit to put huy extra strain on the torn fabric, ami 1 kept my eye glued on that vi brating piece of cloth, fascinated, held spellbound by tho problem of whether It would continue to vibrato without tearing until I got dowu another one hundred feet or so to compnratlvo safely, or whether It was merely wait lirr u.i::' t!n hist foment t 1 i Html shrieking rip as though In u tlend hdi desire lo tnntnllze mo with falso hope us long as possible. I know that cold sweat stood out nil over my body, nnd It wns only by In stinct Hint I worked the controls of my machine, for my entire mind was focused on that llttlo flapping shred and all my thoughts revolved about that one question of whether It would hold long enough to let me get a little closer nud have n chance for safety In the fall If the rip did come. Blessing: of Something; to Do. As I look back on It. I believe 1 never even noticed tho Jolting of the wheels when nt lust I touched the ground. Dumbly and by Instinct ngnln I hud stmt off the power on Inntllmr. I bringing tho machine to a full stop. i sin in my seat ns my mechnnlcs ciuno ruunlng up, nnd with my eyes still glued fascinated to the spot where I had seen tho tlnpplng cloth I wultcd for them. When ouo of my men come nenr I shouted to him to go over there and eo whnt was hanging to the plane. "I do not see anything," ho said. "Isn't there a shred of tho cloth hanging there?" I asked. Ho ducked under tho piano and soon, camo up. holdlug in his hand n little pleco of string four or flvo Inches long. "It wasn't u piece of cloth." he said.' "It was Just a bit of string that sqt caught In a bolt here," Do not get the Idea from what I have said Unit an aviator Is moro or. less constantly engaged In fighting, fear when he Is In flight. As a rulo,' a man in uu aeroplane Is far too busy to think much of fear, especially when ho Is taklug part in some meet. Thoro" are pylous or turning posts to bo rounded, grand utnds nnd tnclosures to bo avoided, oqtllaes of ships to drop bombs upon, circles end squares iu iuiiu iu ror nccurucy nud all such details that keep a man's mind fully occupied. The earth Is near and flash es by nt tho rate of u mile a minute, and, moro thnu likely, thero are other machlues in the air ut the sumo time, and the rules of tho "road" must bo followed or thero will bo disqualifica tion If not total smashup. So the aviator Is too fully occupied lu guid ing Ids machine according to thu rules to think much nbout tho danger ho is lu, yet. oddly enough, it is In this very competitive form of llyliig that ho is In most peril, hi working by himself ho Is least lu dauger. yet he is likely to bo more In fear, for be has moro time to think of his peril and not so much to occupy his mind and so qulot his nerves. nefore I hud gone very far Into aero Dlanlac I had an experlenco la .the air. which illustrates tno point ttint tno many things it man has to do whllo tlying and think about for safety's sake as u rule operate to keep his mind nwny from fear. I had been well up in my Hlcrlot several times nnd had felt very llttlo nervousness when u friend lu England invited me to accompany him and a party of guests on a balloon trip. Ah the ground sank nwny licncnth mo I tried to feel some of the thrills that I had felt lu my good Hlcrlot. Hut they did not come. There was no merry humming of the motor, no stinging rush of the wind, no sense of great power overcoming nature, nothing to give me the idea thnt 1 wns doing some of the work and that skill nnd courage were necessary to success. It seemed that we were only linng suspended by u tiny thread and that all of us were on odse.' wnltlng for the thread to simp and the whole on tilt to go crashing below to the fur distant earth nnd to destruction. 1 could not get nut of my mind this sense of suspended fate of helpless waiting for something nwful to hap pen, 1 had never experienced it In my Hlcrlot. There nil was action. Muscles, mind, nerves were constantly occupied with Hie glorious battle. I found myself looking nt tho ropes thnt suspended the cur. They were all too thin and weak, It seemed to me, for the weight of mich a party. I felt my nerves going fast. ,1 (elt tho need )f fighting somotlilng. of working o vers, of directing the thing, of doing southing or other that would xlve mo I chance. 1 wns In u cold sweat, nnd my knees nnd teeth actually ttnmbled. I knew It wns silly, yet I count uot help It. I was In a complete ttujk.
