: SALEM FLIGHT ENDS HERE
; Jirmy Birdman Praises Work of Gov-
crnor, Wlio Took to Clouds Wilh-
out Previous Experience.
X Governor Olcott. Oregon's flying ex
" ecutive. has reached the conclunion that
guidins the ship of state is a bit more
'- to his liking than guiding a Curtiss
army plane around the rims of Oregon's
t .clouds.
; Yesterday he essayed the latter task.
and after he had landed at the Kast
; moreland flying field in a plana from
Salem piloted by Lieutenant Kdward
.' Kiel, he frankly admitted that he Isn't
; a bit keen, about piloting one of the,
'- trim two-seaters through "bumpy" air.
C .Shortly after faking the air at Salem
Lieutenant Kiel turned, the "joy stick"
ever to the governor ancT-directed him
'.to do the driving. Before leaving the
ground the lieutenant . had carefully
I, coached Mr. Olcott in aet of signals
- which would be Riven to -direct his
handling of the machine.
f Aviator Praises Governor.
; "But I guess I was not a good pupil."
- laughed the governor upon his arrival
7 in Portland yesterday afternoon. "Tou
get a real sensation when you find that
you alone are responsible for the ac
' tion of the plane, and once or twice I
'. must have got the signals crossed. At
any rate, we did too much twisting
and rolling to make it comfortable, and
, the birds must have heard the sigh of
relief which escaped me when he re
7 sponded to my signal and again took
charge."
i. Lieutenant Kiel, however, says that
' Governor Olcott is a wee bit modest.
The youthful aviator asserted that the
, governor showed a remarkable apti-
tude, and the rolling of the machine
- was due to the "bumpy" air conditions
rather than to the governor's nervous
ness. And while Governor Olcott's feat of
' Piloting a plane without aid and wlth
; out previous training or experience of
' any kind sets a new milestone in his
I meteoric career as an aviation en-
thusiast, he shared honors yesterday
. with a modest little woman who liter
7 ally flew into prominence as being the
- first woman In the Pacific northwest
'. to take an air flight of more than 50
miles in an army plane.
Mrs. V. A. Pettit la Plane.
; She Is Mrs. W. A. Pettit. wife of The
. Oregonian correspondent at Salem,
who took passage in the plane piloted
. by Sergeant Frank McKee.
'It reminded me greatly of my child
hood days," was her enthusiastic com
ment as she leaned over the cockpit
and waved a welcome to those who
' gathered at the landing field to bid
welcome to the aviators. "The large
buildings looked more like little doll
houses, and when we flew low enough
to see men and women moving about
they looked like tiny dolls. It was the
most wonderful experience I ever had
. and I shall look forward with keen in
terest for an opportunity to take to
the clouds again."
Sergeant McKee gave his passenger
a taste of flying above the clouds be
tween Hillsboro and Portland. They
went above 4000 feet on three different
occasions, each time taking them above
the clouds.
Mrs. Pettit was smiling when the
plane taxied into the air at Salem, and
was still smiling when It was brought
to a halt at Eastmoreland.
Every Minute Is Enjoyed.
"Every time he would ask me if I
was afraid to go higher I Just smiled
back at him and he proceeded to climb,"
eaid she. "We were up so high that a
little matter of 2000 or 3000 feet
wouldn't make any difference, anyway.
Nor was I a bit frightened. Before we
started he told me to take things easy
as there was absolutely nothing to be
afraid of. I believed him, so enjoyed
every minute of the trip."
After leaving Salem the planes headed
, westward, flying over McMinnville.
After circling over the Tamhill county
eeat they turned toward Forest Grove,
and came to Portland on the west side
air route by way of Hillsboro.
The aviators had planned to leave for
Camo Lewis early last night, but engine
trouble developed in Sergeant McKee's
Diane, making it impossible for them
to leave until today. Captain Owen
Summers, aide to General Johnston at
Camp Lewis, will fly the remainder of
the distance with Sergeant Kiel.
JR. STEIXER IS NO "QUITTER"
State Officials Finally Persuade
Salem Man to Take Flight.
SALEM, Or., July 25. (Special.) Dr.
Tt. K. L. Steiner. after swearing that
he would not participate In any air
plane flights for all the money in' the
world, today submitted to the urging
of Governor Olcott and other state of
ficials and enjoyed a 15-minute tour of
the skies.
"You can't call me a quitter," said
the penitentiary warden, addressing
Sergeant McKee, "and I want you to
give me the best you have got."-
The sergeant took the doctor at his
word and the brief flight was featured
by a series of stunts that thrilled the
crowd of spectators.
"By far the grandest experience of
my life," was the doctor's comment as
he climbed out of the cockpit at the
conclusion of the flight and dropped
onto the ground. . Others who enjoyed
the hospitality of the visiting aviators
here today were ex-State Treasurer
Kay. Richard Hansen, Miss Frances
Richards, Roy Goodwin and Governor
Olcott. A formation flight, participat
cd in by three giant planes, was a fea
ture of the exhibition.
The army flyers left here at 2:25 P. M.
today for Portland.
