They will fly eight hun dred feet above the bluffs, retain that altitude until directly over the river, and then begin the descent by a series of gyrations, loop the loops, barrel rolls, dips, right klde up.aup side down, that would make Tex Rankin exclaim, "What’s the use?” In their mix ui>s and collisions no gtstse Is provided with a parachute, yet they all alight safely in the river, and 'join in the bedlum that 0MtiaoM far into the night. 1 have beard some Hood River nlm- rods My that that sight Is worth the trip, even though the gees«' -they brought home added to the exftense account. license during tbe dosed season.
