DARRELL FOOTE GETS
FINE 3 POINT BUCK
WASHINGTON,! Sept. 21. The
president's aircraft Inquiry board
convened Mondayj and before the
end of its first session had heard
important corroborations of the
charges of Col. William Mitchell
against the war department and Its
policy toward the military air ser
vice. MaJ. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief
of tbe army air service, of which
Mitchell was assistant chief before
his criticisms brought him Into of
ficial disfavor, furnished the sensa
tion of the day when he backed up
some of Mitchell's allegations, and
declared that the department re
gards Its air service as a "step
child."
Service Inadequate
Prior to Patrick's testimony, which
closed the session. Acting Secretary
of War Davis had admitted that the
equipment of the air service was in
adequate. This was due partly to
the economy program of the admin
istration, he said. 4'
'War department officials, how
ever, emphatically went on record
against a unified air service, advo
cated by Mitchell, reading into the
testimony beside their own state
ments of opinion, a letter from Gen.
John J. Pershing, expressing his op
position. Pershing's letter was sent
frgm South America, where the re
tired head of the American armies
is now acting as arbitrator in the
Tacna-Arica dispute. Davis also re
called the testimony -against a uni
fied air service given last spring by
Secretary, of War Weeks.
' Patrick's testimony was the out
standing development of the day's
proceedings, and with Davis' ad
mission that the air service Is In
adequately equipped, was regarded
as giving Mitchell a good beginning,
and paving tho way for his own np

NEGOTIATING BIG DEAL
Transfer of Vast Area Said to

By Oregon Firm
While the sale has not been

time the Forest Lumber company
of Chiloquin, recent purchuscrs of
the Modoc . Lumber company's
holdings, is cruising the entire
lt)O,00u,00u rich pine timber hold
ings of tho Iiong Bell Lumber
company, itbout :I0 miles north
east of Chlloquln, with a view to
buying the entire tract. If Long

survey noiv being inudo by the
Forest people.
Sale price will bo in the neigh
borhood ot $10,000,000 it Is under
stood from a thoroughly reliable
source. It will be from 60 to 90
days before the cruise is completed,
but officials of the company are said
to have declared the deal is all but
completed.
S. T. Horan, manager of the For
est company at Chiloquin, when ask
ed by The News if the deal would be
made, refused to comment other
than "I cannot sny whether or not
the deal will be closed."
It Is a fact, however, that Forest
timber cruisers are making a sur
vey of the huge Long Bell tract.
If the deal Is closed It will be the
largest timber salo In Klamath
county for years.
The Forest Lumber company plan
working their Chlloquln mill at ca

The spot where John Wesley
Hillman and his little band of gold
seekers first came to an abrupt
halt, locked a thousand or more
feet downward over an abrupt pre
cipice rim, saw the turquoise blue
of Crater Lake, fuller and richer
than the azure skies febove, waft
fittingly marked amid the flurries
of an early winter snow Sunday
afternoon at the Crater Lake rim
with a memorial tablet dedicated
to the discoverer, with scores of
prominent Southern Oregon and up
state notables looking on, at a sim
ple but impressive ceremonial.
Crater Lake visitors next year,
and for years to come, will stop at
this little point where on June 12.
1853, a man who has been little
heard ot tn history was the first
human being to look down on that
pendant In the chain of Oregon's

The bronze memorial is the gift
of William -Gladstone Steele. Eu
gene, who has perhaps done more
for advancing Crater National park
than any one person. The cere
monies were conducted by the
Klamath Falls Chamber of Com
merce. A caravan ot 300 motorists
left here Sunday morning tof the
ceremonies. Another left Medford.
The authentic story of how Crater
Lake was discovered by 'Hillman Is
a romantic tale of the early Oregon
days when seekers ot gold invaded
Southwestern Oregon.
In 1853,, Jacksonville, Ore., was

LAKEHURST, N. J.. Sept. 21.
(United News) The first day of the
navy's Inquiry Into tbe wrecking ot
the Shenandoah furnished a sugges
tion that the dirigible had ridden
free of a storm which enveloped it
and the craft's collapse followed
rapid ascents and ien a sinking ot
the great ship, with the crew power
less to stop either. ' Shortly before
the crash two ot the Shenandoah's
five engines were stopped because
of their high temperature.
This was embodied In a report
made by Lieut. Commander Charles
E. Rosendahl. , the Shenandoah's
senior surviving officer. He gave
no explanation for the violent rise
and fall of the ship.
Men rode with death In the fate
ful half hour before the dirigible
crashed, and knew the end that
awaited them, Rosendahl said.
The great ship rose sharply. Word
came from the "elevator man" that
he was powerless to check it. The
valves were manned to release the
gas and lose buoyancy, but tbe rise
continued.
It stopped for a moment, Rosen
dahl said, anj was followed by a
sharp descent, and a stillmore vlo
sharp descent, and a still more vio
the next fall probably meant a fatal
crash.
Through It all Commander Lans
downe continued to reassure the man
whose duty It was to control the
ship. In quieting tones, according
to Lieut. Commander Rosendahl, the
leader, who was killed In the crash,
kept up the courage of his men.
telling them they were doing all that
they could do, and that was all he
expected of them.
Rosendahl's story follows In part:

ship had Just avoided. The moon

. Lost for five days in the wilder -'
ness of Huckleberry mountain,
near here, Martin Owensby, 50, of
Merrill, is believed cither dead
from a fall down a precipitous
cliff, or suffering intensely from
the bitter exposure of cold nights
In the open spaces without food
or shelter.
Yesterday afternoon the county
court, after listening to the pleas ot
a delegation of Merrill citizens, au
thorised expenditure of 1 25 to grub
stake a posse to search for the miss
ing man, and indicated that should
he not be found within the time this
allowance is used up, more will be
furnished.
Aged Mother Worries
When Owensby failed to return to
his little log cabin near BranMn
wood camp, Wednesday night, after
searching for a stray horse, his aged
mother, who was staying with him...
became worried but nothing was
done for several days, she believing
her son had been lost in one at the
deep ravines or tn the thick upland
timber. Owensby knows the Huckle

mother was confident he would work
bis way out.

Night after night she waited, hnt
