THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SAtEM, OREGON. Monday, October 20, 1919. : FLYING PARS J TELLS TALE OF LANDING DEAD By Lieutenant Belvln W. Maynard (Written for the United Press.) Wahoo, Neb., Oct. 18, We were fly ing at ebout 115 miles an hour, my me chanic, William E. Cline and myself, and wero about 2500 feet above sea level when the engine stopped. We ba pui to drop at a terrific speed and I I looked about the country for a good field to Haht and volplaned down. We- made a perfect landing, the ma chine eame down as if the engine had lieen working all the time. We inspected tho motor and - found that the crank shaft had been broken in about the center of tho motor. : Immediately I began to think of a way to finish the race. A damaged mo tor eould not stop us af tor we had prac tically finished tho journey for I expact c to arrive in Miueola Friday. I wired to Washington for permission to use another plane. Word was eeut to me that lieutenant Eoy Franc's hr.d cashed to earth at Yutan, Neb., and he was preparing to send his piano to Washington but would lot ma use his motor. Permission was granted to me t l use lieutenant Francis' motor and word was sent to me that soldiers wero til leady on the way from Fort Omaha to .,- Yntan to lift the motor from his plane and bring it to me overland on trucks. My mechanic and myself immediately began to lift out bur motor. It was b hard job with only two of us working. It generally takes a couple of days to transfer a motor and do a good job, but we had to lift it and got away if we expected to win the race. Then luck began to be with us again. John Saltzman, who was in the naval aviation and who worked with the NC-3 and NC4 when they made thoir trans- Atlantic flight and who helped to tear down the machines in the Azores and at Portgual, was sent by the Nebraska state highway commission, where he is employed, to aid us in changing the mo tors. . 1. 1 want to thank the state of Nebras ka for this kind act and will always ro member it for the interest it has dis played in my success. This mishap was not unexpected. For, since we left New Tork I have not given more than an hour's inspection to the motor, xne motor nas uteu iuanuig uu average of 15,000 revolutions per min ute and this wear will tear down any motor. . " Since wo left New York we have made on an average 106 miles an hour. We have been in the air about thirty seven hours. ,jf f Bad luck to a certain extent is due all of us arid wo mut expect it. Aviation has not come to a point yet where all difficulties can be overcome.. , EEW ERASW PAGE THREE Coming to The Grand OAS TAX 13 $5545 liillliBli i t t ft Hue W v w .v m R4A7 A total of (5545.19 was paid into tho state treasury for the credit of the good roads fund Saturday by the Associated Oil company of California, this amount representing the state tax on motor fuel oil sold in Oregon by this company dur ing the month of September.

Scene from Hawaiian musical play A Daughter of the Sun," which comes . to the Grand Wednesday evening, October 22 ' ' ii IN PASTORS PLACE The installation of 3000 "phonograph pastors" proposed by the Presbyterian JJew Era conference, seems like a leap from H. G. Wells' novel, "Th0 Sleeper Awakes," where he visualizes the religion-worship of 200 years hence as "a combination of the phonograph and elec trie display." The St. Louis Star ob serves: "The English novelist made his evo lution of the church a consequence of the eternU haste of an artificial civiliza tion. Tho Presbyterian innovation is a measure of economy. The pulpits are empty because financial support is lack ing. But it is possible that once the phonograph is established in the pastor less churches, it will drive the ministers out of many other ehurches. The phono graph has been- so wonderfully improved ia recent years that it is capable ot genuine oratory, and can convey its . message to an audience of several hun dred people far more than ever gather in the smaller churches. But the real advantage should be in the caliber of the sermon. "Who is to say that a congregation S11 not prefer" to hear the 'canned' voice of a $20,000 a year minister, rep resenting the highest intellect and the finest expression of religious thought to he found in the church, rather than the firstlies' and 'tcnthlies' of a man who struggles under the martyrdom of a $600 salary aud preaching ability to match f " The Kanaka-, as the native Hawaiian is called, is fast dying out. It is said that when Captain John Cook, of H. M, S. navy discovered these islands in 1778 the islands had a population of 400,000, but in a little over one century, there remain but 26,000 according to the cen sus of 1910. Various causes have been attributed to this unprecedented disappearance of a whole race.' They have for one thing intcr-married with other races, in fact have -been absorbed by the other races on the islands. The interest in these natives of our island possessions have been kept before us almost continually by their native music which hasjaken us by storm. "A Daughter of the Sun," a story of a nawaiian ouueriiy, written oy Lorln produced bv tho Mutual Play company. coining in mo dramatic line since A Bird of Paradise" has created imn n flirnro. Th fltmnarthora rxt naen ' . chanted isles is maintained by a won derful scenic equipment and also a band of native Hawaiian musicians, who fur nish tho music for the play. "A Daughter of the Sun" will be seen at the Grand, Wednesday, October 22.

L WHITE & SONS PHONE 160 255 STATE ST. Salem, Oregon GOVEENMENT K9T TO DEPORT ALIENS NOW Washington, Oct. 18. Because of treaty obligations the state department does not consider it advisable to de port aliens, who during the war with drew their first citizenship papers to csrape the draft, Secretary of State Lansing has informed Chairman Al hert Johnson, Washington, of the house immigration committee. The department, however, sees no abjection to denying forever to these alienB the right to become American citizens, Lansing wrote. The letter revealed that only 1745 aliens withdrew their first papers, nine tenth of whom are from counties that were neutral during the war. Objec tions against the deportation also have keen received by Johnson from the Norwegian - and Swedish embassies, wfcoee subjects led in this class of liens.
