With hiiNineaHlike precision, de void of any umlUrt formality, air mail planes made their first flight this morning from Medford's new municipal airport loaded with 225 pound and 1 3 ounces of north and southbound mail. Watched by a fair sized crowd, he first ship left the airport exactly at 8 o'clock piloted hy II. Miller and the sec ond ship, southbound, left at 9::t0, piloted by Harry Crandall, ex niovle stunt filer hearing a resem blance, lo Colonel Charles LiiuU hei'Kh. This morning's flights recalled the first air mail lo leave Medford, September 16, 1 9 2t, from Jinrber Field. Mail from Medford for that flight had a total of lf5 pounds hiuI Included 10,0-10 pieces of mull, as compared with over 15,000 pieces sent out today. Approxi mately one-fourth of the mail was sent to satisfy desires of stamp collectors from every part of the United States. The postoffice employed five extra men to lake care of the mail rush and had ten working up until midnight last night. Medford bus iness houses and citizens sent air mall greetings to all parts of the country, and hundreds made last minute mailings this morning. One business organization alone sent out COO letters and this Is believed to be the largest single block. To make eastern- connections at - San Francisco, the hirges amount of today's mail, 174 pounds, was on the southbound ship and 01 pounds went north. C. 10. Johnson of Seattle, operat ing chief for the Boeing Aircraft company, operators of the Pacific Air Transport company, was pres ent at the new airport for the northbound flight and was a pas senger on the southbound ship en route to liurbank, Calif., where the Boeing company is constructing a Jl.r.OM.OOU airport. Ideal AiiMrt "I had anticipated a wonderful field," said Mr. Johnson this mor ning, "but I never expected tb see such an Ideul airport as I find you have here. It Is such an Improve ment over the old field, and 1 am sure the people of Medford will never regret its building, but will feel In It a cause for Just pride for years to come." Moving and camera pictures were taken of the departure of the planes and of Postmaster W. J. Warner and Mayor A. W. Pipes standing beside the several pouches of southbound mall. Neither of these two men made speeches ami the ceremony was confined to wishes of n good trip to Pilot Crandall and Mr. Johnson in the passenger cabin of the ship. The moving pictures, of which 2t(t feet were taken, will be exhibited In a short time by the California Oregon Power company. There are now six air mall pilots working out of Medford and they Include only one, Arthur starhuck, of the original crew that began duties with the first flight. The others nre H. Miller, J. H. Cun ningham, drover Tyler, Ralph Vlrdnn and Harry Crandall. The airplane, "Medford," which made the first Mod ford -San Francisco flight. Is no longer In use and gave way sometime ago to the new high powered Hoeing cabin planes, cap able of reaching a top speed of 150 miles per hour, as compared to the I JO miles of the early Kyan ships. The airplane, "Medford," was sold a year ago and much of it has been relegated to the junk heap. The Hoeing ships now fly ing out of Medford have been named "McKinley" and "Adams." Kegular flight from the field may not be made for another week due to offices ami equipment still lie Ing In a state of Incompletlon. Mrs. Pipes File In addition lo the first mnll flight from the new airport, the first commercial passenger trip was also made this morning when Mayor and Mrs, A. W. Pipes rod with the Copperking Flying Ser vice, managed by W. J. Brown. It was Mrs. Pipes' first ride and she was quickly won over as an other aviation enthusiast. The chamber of commerce play ed an Important part in today's first flight, as all letters were mailed and prepared at the cham ber headquarters, where the spe cial cachet was hUo placed on the en vet opes. The letter was printed In the form of a greeting, present ing an invitation to the reader to attend the formal dedication of the airport next July. Several members of the American Legion Auxiliary assisted yesterday after noon In preparing the mall. Insert ing the letters and two nheets hewing loutliern Oregon scenery.
