PLANE CARRIES 170
Th,t reeent test over Lake Constance, Switzerland,
when the to® Darner flying boat Do-X flew for nearly
In hour, carrying 170 passengers and a total load of o2
tons kind of gets our “goat so to speaK. , ,
Imagine the Steamer Starr flying about overhea .
That isn't a wild stretch of imagination by a ong shot
One of the gratifying features of the test was the
rapidity with which the big craft took the air, rising a -
iai ;. * • „ .nf th* lhkp for onlv t>0 seconds,
ter skimming the surface of tiie lake for only 50 seconds,
a quicker takeoff than any made m its previous trial hops.
Probably before many more years go by steamers
of the size of the Admiral Rogers, or the S. S. Yukon,
will be sailing thru the azure skies instead of the deep,
blue wavelets.
Records are being made and smashed so quickly
these days it’s hard to keep up with these flying folk.
Dollars to doughnuts the political lineup is cut and
died and the same bet lays we can name the ticket.
WORLD’S 18 GREATEST
Picking the world’s greatest men, like selecting an all
starr football team, is a difficult undertaking—one in
which no two persons would likely reach the same result
independently.
The feat was recently attempted, however, we note
in recent exchanges, by a Western University, with a
view to placing statues of the world’s greatest on the
facade of a new public library, the following being se
lected :
Adam Smith, social science; Beethoven, music;
Dante, poetry; Darwin, biological science; Leonardo da
Vinci, art; Benjamin Franklin, public service; Galileo,
physical science; Goethe, poetry; Grotius, international
law; Gutenberg, printing; Herodotus, history; Homer,
poetry; Justinian, law and administration; Moses, relig
eon; Newton, mathematics and physics; Pasteur, medi
cal science; Plato, philosophy; Shakespeare, drama.,
One of the striking aspects of this list is that it in
cludes three poets, besides Shakespeare, indicating that
poetry presents the most likely path to immortal "fame,
however unendurable it may be as a practical career dur
ing one’s lifetime.
Franklin is the only American in the list which may
+1?^ )euso P0?1’ a Rowing as it first appears, considering
that the entire historical period from Moses onward is
covered in the search for celebrities.
It is announced that Ike McCann, ‘hi-yu skookum’
chief of the iaskimo tribe of Ishkishes, has, at the urgent
request of his many friends about the Territory, thrown
his “kelly” into the Alaska delegateship race. He is the
first to make known his platform which will be “Fatter
and juicier barrels of blubber and free beer to all
kfutches. It is predicted he will win in a walk.
No matter how large or
how small your order from
Alaska ... you can be sure of
good materials, careful grad
ing and direct shipment on
the first boat.
Write us - or, if you're in a
hurry - wire. Either way. just
send us your specifications
we do the rest.

MARKET CONDITION
TACOMA, Wash., Nov., 13, (Spe
cial to the Gateway)—The fur
market is now 15 to 20 percent
! lower on reds, crosses, beavers,
| otter, silvers, weasel, marten,
j wolves and wolverine.
Low grade silvers are 40 per
cent lower; lynx 10 percent low
er; mink 30 percent lower than
last spring. Muskrats are active.
There is a general lull in all
trade which is awaiting develop
ments and possibly a firmer mar
ket after the first/' of the year.
It is impossible, however, to
predict spring market prices but
! dealers, as a whole, do not ex
pect any material change from
i tiie present market as quoted
above.
(Editor’s note—The above mes
sage of present market conditions

furs, was sent to this paper by

INTERS MERE FINE
PICK-HORSES, TIS Sill
Valade, Shellhom and Lorang,
better known as the “Three Horse
men” staggered back into town
last night loaded down to the
limit with relics from the wilds.
The hunters were out for sev
eral days and, according to their
joint statement this, morning,
left something for the rest of the
lads to shoot at.
Valade bagged a fine moose;
and Lorang and Shellhorn prov
ed to be great packhorses. Believe
it or not, that’s the low-down truth.
The sportsmen stayed one night
at Tom Tessiers cabin and another
night was spent in the abode of
Julius Hansen.
REDS SAILS TO ASSIST
IN BOATS
COPENHAGEN. Nov., 13, T/P>—A
little red dot in the ocean.it may
mean life or death to victims of
the sea’s wrath. So that all may
know what the little red dot is, the
Danish Shipowners Association has
started a camnaign to force all
shippers to fit their lifeboats 'with
red sails.
Shipwreck survivors always say
that their worst experience was
seeing ships pass without noticing
their frantic but futile attempts to
attract attenion.
