That which was g sensation yester
day, it,, seems, will he but common
place tomorrow. Scientists and (p
ventoft (ji this country una others
making such startling progress
in their undertakings that their first
crude demonstrations of new mechan
ical developments seen as the ac
complishments of. a little Wion, and
little remembered age. In the lives
of the men who these days besporl
teeniselves miles above, the earth's
surface, riding the breezes In nion
Btous.jwlft and powerful machine
and endeavoring to .find the limits
to which man may go one sees noth
ing' of that heart and body-wearlnf
labor and anxiety that was the price
paid by the pioneers in the, game
that the world might some day reaf
m ize the wonderful possibilities of
aviation. One does see today the
glory of the map-bird In emulating
and surpassing the feats of the
feathered air travelers, and one does
see beauty of the marvelous ma
chines which the past decade has
seen developed, but to thousands of
Americans and Europeans' today the
sight of a man climbing thousands
of feet into the blue, sky or dropping
In one of various kinds of spins from
a cloud bank a half mile above them
gives no more of a thrill than does
the sight of a man performing acro
batic feats on a towering spire or
steeple.
Hundreds of men probably cherish-
ed the idea fiftopn or twenty years
ago of building with their own hands
a machine that would enable tbem
to travel bird fashion, but to only
a few of tho hundreds did success
ever come. Grant Keyee, a former
O.-W. locomotive engineer at La
Grande, was one of the great ma
jority. Mr. Keyes built his plane,
only to ty dlsapnointcd) (when he
tried to get an engine to fit It with,
and the remains of the plane still
may be seen at Morgan Lake, where
be built it.
It was about 1904, when the
Wright Brothers were just beginning
to realize Buccess in their efforts,
that Mr. Keyes started the construc
tion on his plane. The Wrights had

first actual flight with biplane, a

. WHEAT RECEIPTS o
mtkVV A UPflflSn
K?VOriTY. Julvo'. The re-;","
ceipt of M-Q carloads of new wheat .
in 1905 before they made a flight of
any number of miles. La Granders
who knew Mr. Keyes in those days
and who were acquainted with his
plans say tfiat his plane was designed
almost exactly on the same principles
as are the biplanes wlfcich are 8 mil
a success Jodny. 11 was his idea to
build it on the hill at Morgan Lake
a,nd to "hop off" 'from there for a
gliSa down over the town. He com
pleted bis plane witttout being ablo
to get an engine to drive it and
friends think this was all that pre
vented him realizing his great ambi
tion. L. C. Siu'lUi, who operated a
bicycle shop In La Grande at that
time, and who was somewhat of a
hand Willi gasoline engines, was to
be the pilot of the machine and Keyes
and he had made arrangements to
live a flight at a celebration In Port
land that summer for which they
were to receive $5,000. Keyes tried
hard to ge,t an engine, going to the
Thor factory In the east and showing
them what he wanted, but they were
unable to supply him with the motor.
Disaster came upon the plane while
It. was .standing at Morgan Lake
awaiting the motor that was to give
it life. A wind stoim struck it one
day and damaged it almost beyond
repair. Discouraged, Keyes gave tnc
task up and left the wreck of the
machine lying where the wind strew
ed It. It had taken him a year to
build it and though success was com
Ing rapidly to the Wrights and others
in the flying game in the eastern
btatcsj he did not go about the task
ol rebuilding his machine.
Keyes, It is. Bald, worked out the
whole Idea of 'the plane s median
ism himself and for the reason that
it was Duilt on plans that have been
carried out by the bulldere of modern
machines, his old friends here be
lieve that had he pei'served it until
ho had his machine equipped with a
power Plant he would have been
among the first of the successful
aviators of the nation.
Keyes left La Grande some time
after the failure of his plans. He
went from here to the Panama Canal
zone, with other engineers, and was
there for several years. He return
ed to the Stats, and is thought to
be living now in the east.
over Sunday established a new record
for one day at the Kansas City ma

of wheat, worth, ?4,500,uuy, were
tho day's receipts. Practically all of
