ol IhcOrcut Pioneer Aviator
BODY NOW IN RETAINING" VAULT
Chukc nl Accident RcKultinx In Death
Vet Unknown to Witnesses
The body of Silas ChristolTerson
will soon repose by the side of
Lincoln ISeachey, the pioneer av
iator, who lost, his life in the
same manner that took trie
former from the field of aviation.
The remains are now in a re
taining vault, and the services
have been held. This week some
time the body will be interred
by the side of P.eachey with im
posing ceremonies on the part of
air craft man.
Just what caused the air-craft
to turn turtle will probably never
be known. Christolferson's in
timates say that he was perfect
ly familiar with the foot appara
tus that controlled the move
ments of the machine, and they
say tnat ne never oecame con
fused at critical times and they
will not believe that this had
anything to do with the fatality.
Christofl'erson had navigated with
shoulder gears, but he had used
the foot apparatus many times.
Authorities say they are satis
d something went wrong with
the steering mechanism, and
they are also satisfied that had
he been higher in ' the air he
would have safely landed.
Mrs. Christolierson will return
to Oregon after the matter of
her husband's estate has been
ptoperly cared lor.
Jack Bissner. a brother of the
dead airman's wife, was in town
Monday, and says that Harrv
Bissner was not present at the
death, he having been at work
in the shop at the time.

An East end resident was in
the city last week, and he says
he feels sure that within three
years the county will have access
to f ortland througn the proposed
tunnel through the mountain,
and he wa3 more than enthusias
tic over the possibility. Beaver
ton and the country from Cedar
Mill, on the North, as far East
as Greenberg, would be benefit
ted immensely, and it would
mean that the residents of that
section would be suburbanite.
It would mean big values for al
who have homes and land down
that way, and the visitor states
that it now looks as though the
move would be fruitful of results.
