LAKE BED

V. II. Kluhrer and W. II.
(Moose) Muirbead of this city, bile
yesterday piloted their privately
owned plane from tbo Medford
airport to Lake of the Woods,
Ito-ated way up in the mountains,
making a landing on a dry lake
bed.
It was the first visit of a plane
to the resort country, and in com
memoration of the event all sum
mer visitors at the lake. Wrote air
uial! letters, which were brought
to this city and sent out on the
north and south bound mall
pintles.
The trip up to Lake of the
Woods was made in 311 minutes,
and t be flight back wan made in
JS minutes. The distunce is about
miles.
Kluhrcr, who owns a summer
home ai the lake, made arrange
ments for the flight last Hunday.
The dry lake bod was marked off
with sa vd ust a nd a wind sock
hoisted at both ends.
When the plane . landed, the
aviators were greeted by the entire
summer colony, and were escorted
by the reception committee to the
store, where the two airmen re
fused to make a speech.
1'liibrer says that the lake bed
"Is large enough to start an Atlan
tic flight," and no difficulty was
experience in landing or ta king
off. The bed has a few potholes,
which can be easily avoided.
The flight was made for the
purpose of determining ft a flying
route to the lake was feasible, and
next year the birdmen plan to
make regular trips to the lake.
They will ask that some Improve
ments be made to the dry lake bed
landing field, and the Ike of the
Wood.s conctudonuric.H will prob
ably do it.
