r AUK THK CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON MONDAY, MARCH 10, 1930 MAIDEN TRIP OF NEW PLANE IS SUCCESS -A trim craft1 ws the verdict ot the 2000 or more Salem residents who visited the Salem Municipal , airport Sunday to Inspect the new .Lee Monoplane designed and bunt by Lee U. Eyerly, and to watch Its maiden voyage Into the air. Clad in flying togs and para chute, Eyqerly, who la president of the Eyerly Aircraft corporation and .superintendent of the city's - new $50,000 airport, spent half an hour In the air alone putting the mono plane through its paces before tak ing aboard an observer. With the observer in the two-place passenger cabin the ship took off down the field and at the western boundary of the airport approxi mately 1500 feet from where the landing gear last touched the ground, had climbed nearly 600 feet, a remarkable performance for any type of aircraft. It carried 40 gallons of gasoline In the tanks, enough for approximately eight hours in the air. Eyerly demonstrated the mono plane's air worthiness by flying In a straight course with the controls entirely free, and again In sharply banked circles In the same manner after the ship had been set on a desired course. Two additional feet ot wing spread and other improvements In the design have given the new plane Its remarkable performing powers, Eyerly said, and the elements of safety have been greatly Increased with the addition of heavier special hollow steel welded tube frame and new Lee landing gear. The fuselage, wings and struts are finished In silver grey, with the same Idea prevailing in the cowling and hood of duralumin, a special aluminum product for use In air plane manufacture. The passenger cabin Is finished in a rich gray figured upholstery, with aluminum seat and rest, well cushioned. The plane la powered with a 100 h. p. motor and has a cruising speed of SO to 100 miles per hour and maximum of 115 miles per hour.

(LP) Criminal prosecution of C. A. Clausen, state auditor and his nephew, Clarence L. Clausen, for alleged misuse of the state payroll was demanded Monday by Governor Holland H. Hartley. The governor called upon W. J. Milroy, prosecuting attorney of Thurston county, to "prosecute with vigor and dispatch" those re sponsible for the alleged issuance of payroll warrants to C. L. Clau sen for salary as assistant account ant in the auditor's office when such services were not rendered. Gross misdemeanor charges were suggested by Hartley, In quoting section 2334, of Remington's com piled statutes, which reads, "every public officer who shall employ or use any person or property under his official control or direction, or in his official custody, for the pri vate benefit or gain of himself or another, shall be guilty of a gross misdemeanor." John H. Dunbar, attorney gener al, was directed In a second letter to confer at once with Milroy and assist In every way possible with prosecution of the case. "Your repeated failures to do your sacred duty by the people of this state give me little hope that you will make any effort to pro tect their rights in this flagrant violation of law," Governor Hart ley said in his letter to Dunbar, however, I am complying with your evasive -suggestion and for warding to Prosecuting Attorney Milroy a copy of this letter togeth er with the facts of the case. I di rect you to at once confer with Mil roy and to assist him In every way passible with the vigorous prose cution of the.se law violations." Auditor Clausen, who will soon be 79 years of age, returned from a three months' trip to southern California late Friday, and Monday began his own investigation into the circumstances surrounding the alleged illegal payment ot the pay roll warrants to his nephew. He said the amount Involved was less than $275 rather than 1525. be cause his nephew was entitled to an annual vacation In December and had not been paid for Febru ary, leaving but part ot December and part of January In doubt.

COOK'S VISIT TO CITY RECALLED BY HAL PAHON Dr. Frederick A. Cook, released on parole from the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas, last week, was a visitor In Salem during Janu ary, 1911, Hal D. Patton, bookseller, city alderman and ex-state senator from Marion county, recalled Mon day. "Dr. Cook s visit proved somewhat embarrassing for me," Patton said in relating some of the Incidents connected with the controversy which centered about Cook's as sertions that he was the discoverer of the North Pole. "The legislature was In session at the time. I met Dr. Cook In the office of the secretary of state. I took him into the senate chamber where Dan Malarkey, of Portland, was presiding as president of the senate. I moved. In the customary man ner, that the courtesies of the sen ate be extended Dr. Cook, 'the dis coverer of the North Pole.' 'When Malarkey put the ques tion, he said. It has been moved and seconded that the courtesies of the senate be extended Dr. Freder ick A. Cook, the alleged discoverer ot the North Pole.' Which made It very embarrassing for everyone con cerned. But the motion prevailed and Dr. Cook made a very nice little speech. Of course," continued tne aider- man, "there Is still some controv ersy as to whether Cook actually discovered the Pole, but I have a big book containing his story which he gave me, and the words are put together in such a nice way that I am almost Inclined to believe it."

Wiggins says this was a Baptist church. His grandfather was its second pastor and his parents were marled in the church. Wiggins was born on Boot Hill, so named because of the many gun fighters and outlaws who died with their boots on and were burled on that hill in frontier days. The Wiggins house was just half a block from the burial place of these notorious characters. The latner ot Don Wiggins, also living In Sa lem, remembers that when the base ment was being excavated for a high school building 40 or 50 of the bodies were removed. This In cident is mentioned in the Saturday Evening Post article. "Most of the old timers have pass ed on," Wiggins says. "The grass waves over the Santa Pe trail, and the buffalo wallows have been plow ed over until no trace remains. Just memories." Wiggins draws a sharp distinction between the words "gunfighter" and "gunman." He himself lias a repu tation as a gunman, though not in the sense the word was then used or is now used In Chicago. Don has a famous collection of guns, and Is gun expert for Adventure Magazine.
