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.
William Carde, of the Centograph
Film company, -took moving pictures
of the ship, the airport and the
hundreds of persons who visited it.

HARTLEY URGES
PROSECUTION OF
STATE AUDITOR
Olympia, Wash. (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."

CALL FOR 14 AND
16 CENT PRICES
While It Is estimated around
about 1000 prospective bales of
hops an covered in contracts made
the past lew days by the Wolf Hop
company of Portland and A. J. Ray
company on a three year basis at
14 cents for 1S30, 18 cents for 1931
and 16 enets for 1832, as near
can be learned there is nolmmedi-
ateate contemplation of any such
contracting on a general scale.
And with these contracts popping
up there has been some spot sales
of poorer as weU as better quality
or hops. Livesley company has
taken in 27 bales from Romeo Gou
let at 5 cents; 82 bales from Cros
by of Wooburn at 5 cents; 69 bales
from Oeorge Oatchet at Silverton
at 7 cents and 100 bales of fine
hops from Homer Ooulet at 814
cents. Homer Ooulet still has
around 127 bales left. Other options
are said to be out at around 5 and
6 cents on some pretty good sized
lots in the aggregate with some as
low as V4 cents but these are all on
poor quality stuff.
Independence Two lots of hops
were contracted here last week by
the Wolf Hop company in which A.
W. Crocker sold 30.000 pounds for
three years and S. H. Hoover 30,000
for one year and 80,000 for two
years at 14 cents tor the first year
and 10 cents for the next two years.
Hoover had a previous contract
lor 40,ouo pounds for 1930 at
much, higher figure with the same
company. A. J. Ray & Son have
been contracting with other grow
ers la this vicinity at the same figures.

of fruits worth about $20,000,000.
Thousands of cases of Oregon can

THREATENED GAS

of a disastrous price cutting war
here and the owner of one station,
which displayed a 20-cent sign
Saturday was Monday mom in g re
ported painting out the price and
placing his business on the same
basis as other dealers.
With the stations purchasing gas

23 cents, It is pointed out by many
that any reduction in the retail price
means operation without profit and
the dealers would rather lock up
than continue operating at a loss

ARTICLE STIRS
MEMORIES IN
WIGGIN'S MIND
A historical article about Dodge
City, Kans., appearing in the current
Saturday Evening Post arouses
memories in the mind of Don Wig
gins of Salent - -
One ol tne pictures accompany
ing tiie- article shows- the - first
church at Dodjje City. 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. All inquiries or discus
