Ob trains and News : Ice Cream at Point Barrow ... WgtHILE Pangborn and Herndon, round-the-world barn ?Vf stonners, were busy explaining to Japanese authori ties why they flew over Jap fortifica,tiras; while Boardman and his colleague whose name -we have already forgotten were backtracking" from Istanbul; while the'Do-X had done another brief jaunt up the Brazilian coast xnd while Rob bins and Jones, baffled in their non-stop flight from Seattle to Tokio, were landing in their home port of Fort Worth, the aerial. vacationers, Charles A. and Anne Lindbergh, - made the flight to Point Barrow, that northernmost point of United States territory, far above the Arctic circle. Ev ery Eskimo igloo bore a tiny United States flag in honor of the coming of the distinguished visitors. A dinner in their honor was served at the residence of the Presbyterian mis sionary. The dessert was ice cream and cake I Think of it, ice cream in the Arctic for Point Barrow is in sight of the polar ice cap; and the ice pack has not broken up suffi ciently this season to let the coast guard ; cutter 'in from Nome,"with provisions, supplies, and, as eagerly awaited as anything else, newspapers. i; It . was two a. m, when the Lindberghs landed. They must prefer night driving, cooler perhaps and less traffic; and of course they have that polar sun which gives light nearly the whole round of the 24-hour day. I But at three a. m. the habits of the temperate zone told on the famous flier, and he packed, off to bed with' the remark that he didn't care if he never got up. Quite a humanv remark one may say; for who 5s there who Jhas not felt the same way at two or three a. m. after a day and night of activity? One may just as well quit worrying about the Lind berghs. They fly with such accuracy, such speed, and such kill as to take the risk pretty much out of their flying. Lindbergh studies his maps, examines his1 plane; watches the weather, then shoots like an arrow to i his goal. The trip will be of interest to them; it brings an anxious worM to a, new knowledge of the geography of remote regions. Most of all it is a thrilling and novel experience tor those earth-bound, ice-locked denizens of the far north. Out of 'the twilight sky a plane a few days from the states drops in their calm lagoon, bringing a man famed in all conti nents, bringing too a glimpse of a new day when aviation ' will unloose their shackles and give them a freedom and a propinquity to civilization which they have never before dreamed of. I The Lindbergh air junket of 1931 may be worth while after all. ! - f iFarmefa Pay Us a Visit HOW long has it been since the northwest has been visit ed by groups of farmers touring via Pullman? In the days of . the Lewis and Clark exposition and the-Y-P at Seattle in 1909 there were numerous tours. In late years however while the northwest has been toured by more mid western farmers than ever before, they came overland. Corn laid by and harvest over thousands loaded their families in Ford, Buick or Nash and steered their cars into the setting sun. I "' .' I ; ' 4 This year we are visited by organized tours of farmers from Iowa and from Pennsylvania. Of course we greet -them. Here indeed they will see much to marvel at, com bined harvesters drawn by tractors or by 32-head of horses; peaches big as indoor baseballs ; dairy cows that break world records; hens that are in disgrace unless they. lay over 200 eggs a year.5! - ' i ' Host of all, we have no doubt these visitors will be charmed by the scenery. Farmers live close to nature; and while they may. not be very articulate about i they love, nature. J They are accustomed to long vistas toward horizons lined with green of tree or field. vNot for them an outlook over rooftops or a view blocked by a ten-story building across the street. So we may expect them to' en thuse over the glorious scenery which the : Almighty spilled so lavishly over the land-and sea-scapes1 of Oregon and Washington. . ; ,k . We might wish that many of them would decide to stay ' here. We always have need of such able and intelligent farmers as they have in Iowa and such industrious and thrifty farmers as they have doubt if many of them will a tree, he is hard to transplant. And while they may send post cards from Multnomah time they are having: and "Wish you could see this , they will all go back home. When the children meet them at the station and drive them home over the familiar road with liar gate, and when they enter the familiar doorway' they ' . will be happiest of all, because they are "home again",. Next winter when, they are busy bedding down the stock, or mix ing water and shorts to slop a penfulKof" squealing, pigs, they, may think back on the pleasures of their western trip, and reflect on the vivid pictures they, may have of a great ; forest, a mountain . canyon and a ' king stretch of ' sandy beach; but it will seem for them just an interlude. Most of them would never think they could pull up stakes and move out to Oregon or Washington where these joys of living are a continuous and universal privilege, f ! ; Sacrificed . s rrtHE silly myth of buried treasure about Neah-kah-nie has X lured two men to death. With no foundation in fact, and scant basis even in legend this myth has survived and u trxwn mn dig n over the ce of the old mountain which thrusts a shoulder in the sea near the mouth of the K.fJStfu Now two n ho were digging in a dune were buried when the sand caved in, an unnecessary sacrifice to an utterly useless quest. . j . The tale which is reported to have come, from the In dians was that a ship stood offshore near Neah-kah-nie. a party came ashore in a small boat, dug a hole and buried a chest. They shot a negro and tumbled "his body into the hol which they then covered. The whites have taken the yarn and made into a story of treasure buried perhaps by pirates, with the negro a sacrifice td keep the superstitious Indians from digging up the chest. . i i -The legend sounds too much like the product of imag ination, or like an attempt to supply some1 folk-lore to a re gion destitute in any saye the myths of the Indians. Even if the story were true, the' lapse of two centuries would in all probability destroy all chance of finding the buried chest. i in Pennsylvania.; But we locate here.

From the suggestion - of Mr. Cook wlU be formulated a cam paign for a postage stamp Issue to help advertise to the world the 1124 centenary celebration. Perhaps the peetof flee depart ment might, be Included te make a 19 12 Issue, te commemorate th Macedonian call of the red men, three Nes Perce Indians and one Flathead tribesman who journeyed all the way to St. Louis that they xnlgbt be shown the -way to secure the whits man's Book of Heaven giving the right directions concerning -the worship of the white man's God. -V Is answer to that Maeedoalaa call of 1123 came Jason Lee aad bl feur companion im Its 4, planting the seeds of Christian emulation and American Insti tutions in this then heathen and no man's land. The designing of a IIS I hsne of postage stamps representing the four Indian delerates te St. Louis would . be a- simple detail tor any competent artist.

"When were you last In. the house- on Peddler's Road?" "About three weeks ago. "Anyone with you then?" "No." - "Had Geraldlne Foster ever been there?" ' "NO." -"Are you certain?" " "J hare no knowledge that she was ever there." "But she was murdered there.' "I mean previously." "Did you know she was going there this one time which result ed in her death?" The chart lines during these last few questions were quite un impressive. The emotional ex citement In the doctor seemed to pass away when Geraldlne Poster was brought into the question.

Bat my notions . have no bearing on this inquiry. I do not practice a philosophy . opposed te the laws under which I live." "But doesn't your philosophy hold that murder Is justified, even if it is opposed to the laws under which yoa live?" Theoretically yes. "If sufficiently Justifiable grounds arose, would you com mit murder la spite of the laws?" "I don't know." -"Think again." . "I say I don't know. ' "Why did you, quarrel with your brother George?" "Because he did not approve of my private Jife." 'Did his wife also disapprove? "She did not know anything about it. What happened took place before she married my brother."

"That's the "surer Jlnlag tor all this,", he remarked, with un steady voice. "There Is nothing- to Indicate they don't know you," prodded "No." said Maskell, smiling broadly. "No that's what's so wonderful about It." Certainly. If the lie detector machine was to be trusted, the doctor had been telling the truth during these last tew questions.
