NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.
SAN D1EOO, Cal., May 4. Somo twonty years ago at Kittyhawk
field, North Carolina, a crowd of curious spectators stood nrotind a
stranKO muchlno known as an ulrshlp and with one uct-ord declared:
"Huh, that thing will never leave tho ground."
But It did. Under the guidance of Orvllle Wright, the contrivance
arose falterlngly and spent a fvw minutes In tho air, groaning and
creaking. Aviation In America hud becomo a rculity.
In'spito of this initial success, doubtful ones who witnessed and
read of tho achievement still suld:
"Well, they'll never got unywhero with a contraption like that."
Today in a hunimr ut Kockwoll field near here, there stands a
lineal descendant of that "contraption," which only duy beforo ycHter-
day stood In a hangar at XnmjisteaU, New York, 2G25. miles uway,
having traversed tho continent in tho air under its own power and
without a Htop in 26 hours, 60 minutes and 38 2-5 seconds. Associated
press dispatch. . ; ' ' "
SO TODAY if one predicts that in twenty years hence, passengers
leaving Medford in the early morning will land in New York
City before sundown, there will be ffeneral scepticism expressed, and
yet if air transportation develops' in the liext two decades, as it has
developed in the hist two, such a prediction is clearly justified.
, Of course man is essentially a land animal. Increasing speed on
tho surface of the earth was a natural development. Yet it is doubt
ful if the first air trip by the land lubber, is any more terrifying, or.
reqliires any more psychological readjustment thai the first trip by
water. AVhen our grand-children take their first air jonrncy, they
will probably climb into, a palatial air liner, that will appear as secure
and homelike as our sea-going hotels, now appear to tho neophyte in
marine adventure.
So the world dashes a'tont,, particularly in the realm of scicncclind
invention. We talk across the Atlantic, we dance to music played a
thousand miles away, wo travel under the water, on it and above it,
tho human brain slowly but surely is making miracle workers of us

COMMUNICATIONS
'. "Tho Covered Wagon."
To tho Editor:
I cannot entirely agree with you in
regard to tho advertising value to
Oregon of that great picture entitled:
"The Covered Wagon," and which is
based Unon the stnrv nf Hint nil run
wrltton by the late Emerson Hough.
I saw this picture in the Egyptian
thoatre at Hollywood, California, on
the night or Us first presentation. It
probably will not be as well nresnnl.
cd in any other theater in the
United States. , .
In the prologue civen. flftv can.
4.1'y dressed Indians prominent men
and women of the Arapahoe and
Sioux trlboB personally appeared
upon tho stage, and the spokesman
gave a short biographical sketch of
each of these old warriors, one ot
Whom Is a sur.vivor of the. Custer Mas
sacre. The spokesman also told us
that hofnm thin nlntMra wn o nvni. Tim.
sontoil to tho public it was submitted
to qno hundred ot the best critics in
XT .
"w j oric i;uy.
As I nm nnn nf tho A i-frnnn nf a Ihnt
came to this stato In a covered wagon,
I am prosumptiouB enough to bollove
that I am a better critic of that, pic
ture than those to whom it was sub
mitted. I am not thoroughly ac
quainted with Hough's Btory, "The
Covered Wagon," but I think the
scenario writer has taken groat lib
erties with the historical phase of the
subject. '
Tho first picture thrown on tho
screen shows tho usual tumult occa
sioned by the gathering together or
tho train at Wcstport, on the Mis
souri river: the audience is told that
Wostport is now Kansas City. It do
not know what it was called in 1S45
but we lived within six miles of that
plnce continuously from 1847 until
May 5, 1851, when wo started with ox
toams to the Oregon country, and
during all that period it was- known
as Kaw Landing, it being at the
mouth of tho Kaw river.
The two hundred wagons are shown
In the plcturo, each of which is cov
ered with a'Bnow white sheet, and I
may observe right here that. In' the
final picture tho wagon sheets are as
whito as thoy wore on tho day of de
parture. - I also noted that each of
the wagons riad a .brake to doaden
tho wboels. None of the wagons of,

FINE CREDIT.
THERE'S nothing wrong with Bulstrodo Bore, his heart is
leal and true; ho runs up bills in every store, and pays them '
when they're due; the merchants lc6tow to tho floor when Bul
strodo looms in view. Good credit is nn asset gront, the which wo '
nil slfould share; it ornaments tho humble skate like diamonds
in his hair; tho man who always pays tho freight is boosted overy-
whero. Yet it may provo at times a trap that lends to frightful
scenes, for it may load the heedless chap to live beyond his means,
to feed fried oysters in his map, when ho should livo on beaus.
And so I view this Bulstrodo wight, and feiir what may betide; '
ho" buys up everything in sight, no luxury's denied; his seven
mints, in silks bedight, with him in splendor wen, while ho can
, draw abundant kale to pay his bills again; but somo day health
or job may fail, and what will happen then? Good credit is a
fairer crown than monarch over wore, it gives you standing in
tho townyet were I Bulstrodo Bore I'd try to pay tho money
down, and have things charged no more. '
in 18D1 were equipped with brakes;
mankind had not yet dovisgd such a
useful contrivance.
The scenorlo writer deals with the
emigration of. 184S and In order to
bring California prominently Into the
picture he blends It with the gold
rush of 1849, showing a dlvijlon of
the train at some point In Utah, a por
tion of It going to California and the
remainder coming on Into the Oregon
country, and at this point I want to
make the following criticism of the
picture: the final scene showing the
Part of the train which came Into
Oregon discloses a group pf wagons
huddled together In a Bmnll moun
tain valley, with snow one foot, deep
on tho ground and tho lnndscane om
nnmonted with rocks and hull pine. I
thought to myself, after all the hard
ships and struggles endured by these
bold pioneers', that this particular
spot was poor compensation for the
toil and danger theyshnd; undergone.
It shows mothers standing In the
snow, with babes In their arms, ex
claiming: "Oh, my God, will this
journey never end!". Just then there
appears an old mountaiifeer, dressed
in buckskin, with a Kentucky rifle in
his hand, long hair hanging down his
back, evidently one who has boon In
Oregon for some years, and ho' re
plies to the wall of these travel worn
people by saying; "Why, you are al
ready In Orogon." Whereupon, the
captain of the wagon train holds up
his hands, and the emigrants gather
about him apd. return, thanks to God
for safely bringing them to the end
ot their long and perilous Journey.
Now, no person ever knew tho
ground to bo covered with snow In
the valleys of Oregon as early ss tho
middle of October, the time of this
final picture. " " ' '"
- Jesso ' Wtagate, ''tlitf captain of tho
train,, is evidently Intended for one of
our, old ploncor citizens, Josso. Apple
gate, and. if tho picture had ended in
the beautiful valley of , the Umpo.ua,
where Applegate settled, . it would
show, our oastern people thai, these
hiavo emigrants had. at last arrived,
not in the lonely and forsaken spot
suggested by the plcturo, ljut In one
of. the fair valleys that border the
sundown seas; a land of tortile soil,
warmed by a genial sun, and whore
all nature seems to smile a welcome.
I believe that this picture will be
seen by millions ot people who will
wonder why any one would undergo
the'Bardshlps, struggles and priva
tions that wore endured by these plo
