you could find 60,000 fans

By William McMenamln
(U.R) Staff Correspondent
Boise, Ida. (U.R) Robert John
son, 35, veteran mountain pilot,
daily flies his tri-motored plane
on one of the most hazardous
flying jobs in the world.
He soars over jagged moun
tain peaks, where a forced land
ing would mean a certain death,
to carry supplies to 600 snow
bound families in Idaho's primi
tive area. He provides their only
contact with the outside world
during six long winter months.
The pioneer families live in
small communities or singly,
spread out over 1,087,000 acres
of mountainous, heavily-timbered
wilderness, unpierced by
any road, in the central part
of Idaho. Many of their teen
age children never have seen
an automobile but they know
Johnson's plane well. ,
Miners, trappers, forestry
workers and their families rely
on Johnson's skill and daring
to provide their mail, food and
medical supplies through the
winter. These modern frontier
folk are snowed in from Octo
ber through March each year,
unable to reach civilization by
horseback, their normal means
of transportation.
Dog Team in Competition
Dog team, snowshoes and skiis
are the only alternative to
Johnson's plane as a means of
winter transportation for them.
A dog team driven by a' grizzled
old frontiersman, "Blacky" Wal
lace of Big Creek, provides
Johnson's airline with its only
competition.
Johnson is called upon fre
quently to rescue an expectant
mother, a hunter shot accident
ally or a woodsman, injured by
a falling tree. He carries them
to civilization in his plane and
can't understand why jpeople
make a fuss over mm acoui it,
To him it is just part of his job,
The U. S. forest service pro
vldes the airports. Landing
fields are extremely small, little
more than mountain meadows
with stumps cleared off, or river
sandbars with the rocks re
moved. He frequently lands on
these with a capacity load of
heavy mining machinery.
Johnson loses one or two
planes each year in crashes. He
uses Ford tri-motors because
they carry a tremendous load
and land short, he says. To fly
down narrow mountain gorges
and over snow-capped peaks
nearly every day of the six-
month period isn't easy, he admits.
Parachutes Land Supplies
Supplies are dropped from the
plane in parachutes. Fliers say
Johnson can hook a parachute
on a crate of eggs, bail it out
without protective packing and
not break an egg. Sides ot beef,
mail, clothing, vegetables, flour,

area in 1928. Ray Fisher, Mis
soula, Mont., had it a week and
then was killed when he flew
into the side of a mountain. Bill
Gowen of Boise held the mail
contract for a time and lost it to
Johnson.
Johnson spends his summer
months flying for the forest
service. He flies through smoke
and ashes to bring supplies in
an hour to fire fighting crews
far up in the mountains where
it would take days to bring sup
plies by pack horse, the only
other means.
Tired of an early barnstorm
ing career in aviation, Johnson
settled down to run a gasoline
station in Missoula and have a
quiet life. But aviation was in
his blood and he started a pri
vate flying service. He bid for
the mail contract into the primi
tive area and thus started on the
most hazardous flying job in the
nation.
health had not been good for
several years, his death will be
a shock to his many friends.
Mr. Beall was born on the
original Beall homestead on
Beall Lane February 26, 1862,
and had lived in Jackson coun
ty continuously since that time.
He was a man of fine qualities,
always had a smile and hand
shake for his friends, and will
be missed by a host of friends.
He followed farming all of
his life, the farm being on Ross
lane, and the farm will be con
tinued by his son, Earl.
He was united in marriage
to Clara Ellen Rippey,. Decem
ber 6, 1809 at Santa Rosa, Calif.
Mrs. Beall passed away in this
city February 8, 1932.
Mr. Beall was at one time a
member of the Medford Lodge
No. 1168 B. P. O. Elks, and a
member of the Central Point
Grange. He is survived by one
son, Earl Beall of this city, one
sister, Mrs. Clara Lewis of
Sparks, Nevada, one brother,

Roosevelt Offers
Taft a Prize For
Help With Budget
. Washington, Dec. IS. (P)
President Roosevelt offered
today to give Senator Taft'
(R.-Ohio) a very handsome
prize if he would supply a
bill of particulars on how to

years.
The President was Inform

Taft, who is in the race for
the Republican presidential
nomination next year, had
said in a speech it was pos

within two years.
Mr. Roosevelt, emphasizing
his words with intonation
and gesture, declared twice
that he would offer Taft a
prize if the senator, person
ally, would give him a bill
of particulars.
The custom of using the name
"Jack" as a general term for the

Up to today, not a cent had
been contributed locally for aid
to the Finns, It was reported
by Medford's three banks, which
are prepared to accept financial
donations under the relief plan
headed by Herbert Hoover.
The answer at all the banks
was the same, "No contributions
have yet been received."
One bank, however, reported
that a person had mentioned
he planned to contribute "a dol
