BERTH DEFOBE TAKING
i TO SKIES FROM TOKYO
TOKYO. Sept. 10. (#*)—Confident
as they were of safely reaching
Seattle, Moyle and Allen prepared
tor death before their take-off.
They left with newspapermen,
certificates to prove they had;
taken off with the view of simpli- j
fying liquidation of their insur
ance policies in the event they
were unheard from again.
Cash, personal possessions and
every other article of value was
disposed of and they stripped
themselves of everything except
hope, courage and clothing.
Allen carried a watch in which
he had pasted a tiny photo of
nimself and Eileen Miller, Los
Angeles aviatrix who was killed in
a crash some time ago. He has a
wife in California; rumors men

airplane engine, was heard by:
passengers aboard the vessel Ar
thur J. Baldwin in this vicinity j
last night. It was heard from the ,
southwest and dying away grad-!
ually to the northeast; thick wea- •
ther was over the mountains at
the time.
In North Pacific Coast aviation
circles it was believed possible
the plane was missing; if so, it
would indicated they had a forced
landing and succeeded in getting
into the air again.
CALIFORNIA GOLD I

RANDSBURG, Calif., Sept. 10. j
/P)—Cooler weather on the desert
means many ventures in the chase
for gold. Reports from all of the
eld placer camps, from Red Rock
Canyon to the Barstow placer
field, tell of the little dry washers
operated by hand, and by small
motors; of the incoming gold-sav
ing dredges and drag lines.
More gold nuggets have been
found this summer than any other
year since the Randsburg stam
pede of ’95. In that year hun
dreds and hundreds of placer min
ers made good, for the reason
they found ground worth work
ing, and stuck. Sometimes the
going was tough, with little or
nothing to show for a day’s work,
and at times the grind was hard
for a week, but in the long run,
pay dirt was found and camps like
the Summit, Goler and its many
gulches, Last Chance, Red Rock
and other canyons of the north
paid well in coarse gold.

—Three planes of the Canadian
Airways, doing governmental .work
on Vancouver Island, are ready
to aid in the search for the fliers,

ANYONE WANTING I
BUFFALO 1Y HAVE
ONE FREE OF COST
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10- (/P) —
One hundred buffalo, fine speci
mens from Uncle Sam’s famous
herd in Yellowstone National
Park, will be given away for the
asking this Fall, Acting Director
Demaray of the National Park Ser
vice announced.
There are two strings to the gift
of a buffalo. The animal must not
be killed but must be used for ex
hibition or propagation purposes
and all costs of handling, crating
and shipping must be borne by the
recipient
Buffalo from the Yellowstone herd
are given away on request as a part
of a plan adopted by the Depart
ment of the Interior for keeping
the size of the herd sufficiently
small to insure proper winter graz
ing. The herd now numbers more
than 1,200.
The public has been warned re
peatedly by the National Park Ser
vice that buffaloes do not make sat
isfactory pets. Requests for the gift
of a buffalo have sometimes been
received from families with no lar
ger estate than a city lot who wish
ed a pet for the children

EMU THOUGHTS OF
CHRISTMAS TREES
IRE NOT SO Him
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 9.
(JP)~First cool spells are already
bringing thoughts of Christmas,
snow and Santa Claus—at least
to the minds of conservation of
ficers.
With reforestation programs now
a large item in the budget figures
of a number of States, recent
laws reveal that conservation de
partments are tired of playing
Santa to commercial and private
vandals who yearly strip the
young trees from areas bordering
thoroughfares.
A new law adopted in Wisconsin
requires a license of all Christmas
tree dealers and the written con
sent of landowners before any
trees may be removed.

SEATTLE, Sept- 10. (JP) —The
crowds waiting here until last night
have given up hope to welcome
Moyle and Allen who were hop
ping from Tokyo to Seattle, and
have melted away.
Many believed that the fliers last

them—may have been forced down
in an obscure valley in the vicinity.
Coast Guard cuttters have start
ed to search for the airmen.
