Tho colorful parade, which marked tho closo of the conven tion yesterday arternoon, brought special honors to Mcdford. flout winning first prize wns en tered by tho local Elks' club and prepared by the Medford Ourden club under tho leadership of Tom Swem. It was a beautiful creation of Shasta daisies,' purplo larkspur, flumo colored gtudioll and ferns. The back view resembled an em bankment of daisies, whero flow ers wero growing so closely the ground beneath could not bo glimpsed. Sprnys of forns and gladioli formed the top, whero many were tied to posts nnd ar ranged to fly as gnrlandB from the groat bank of whlto.

Post talked a minute and a half, thanked Gatly for his (ine navigat ing; Mr. Hall of Oklahoma, for fin ancing the trip; Mayor Walker for his luncheon, and all the people on his little journey around the world The Russians were absolutely splendid. Alaska turned out In full force. I believe that la all I have to say." Gatty, equally brief, also praised the Russians. "The Russian Aero nautic Society was wonderful, did everything they could for vs." Ap parently the Russians can discrimi nate. Australia's prime minister sent a friendly message: "Australia is proud of Gutty, and we are suro that Gatty is proud of Post." General Ely of the United States army made an excellent short speech, saying that the world's filers, helping and admiring each other without animosities or jeal ousies, set a good example to the world's nations. Perhaps by mak ing the world constantly smaller, they will gradually make it more friendly. He referred to German fliers in the war, dropping flowers on the graves of enemy airmen killed in battle. i In - describing a great race, it would be unjust to forget the horse. It was a good airplane that carried those tilers around the world In less than nine days; The Detroit Aircraft Corporation made it, and Karl S. Belts of that corporation, gave a dinner to the filers last night. The engine, which is the heart of the plane; the power plant thut never stopped, sputtered or com plained, doing nearly 150 miles an hour for 15.000 miles, was a "wasp" POIiTLANO. July 3.

Brisbane's Today (Continued from Page On) There was another table, with men only, that you would have studied with interest. Que man. 6 feet 3 inches high, with light blue eyes, was obviously trying to make himself look four Thei feet high and attract no attention. That was Lindbergh. Only one Christopher Columbus, only one Lindbergh. On his left was Casey Jones, and next that fine pilot, Hemt Ballchen, who has never had all the credit he deserves tor his night to the North Pole. There was Fltzmaurice, the Irish man who flew here with the Bre men, and there was Chamberlain, that Hew the Atlantic when flying that ocean wns a novelty Also present were Kent Cooper of the Associtaed Press, and Paul Block, who owns many papers, their business is to let the world know about it, after It has been done. M Gaily, skillful navigator, who di rected the flight, "Bitting back at my ense," as he put It in paying tribute to Post, is a rather thin, tail, very blond, highly intelligent young man, with a high forehead. Post Is nn American, who started In TexaB, moved to Oklahoma, then suddenly moved around tho world. Ills ancestors were Scotch, who came to this country by way of Ire lund, as many othors have done. Gatty Is an Australian. Dr. Flnley observed thnt an American navigator took Klngs- ford Smlth on his groat flight, and now a British navigator took the American pilot, Wlloy Post, on his tlight.
