PAGE EIGHTEEN . THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1925 CANADIAN FLIER TOATTEMPT NORTH ATLANTIC HOP If He Succeeds He Will Break. Records For Distance Flying Victoria, B.C., June 6:--The first man to attempt a flight across the North Pacific is a Cana- dian. He expects to hop off some- time during the next two months. Low-lying fogs that hang over the Pacific during the months of June and July may add peril to his adventure, but Lieut. Harpld Bromley, native-born British Col- umbian, isn't worrying about the obstacles that face him on his proposed trans-ocean flight from Tacoma, Wash., to Tokyo. Lieut. Bromley, whose mother still resides in Victoria, where he was born, is at present in Cali- fornia supervising the construction of a plane in which he will at- tempt the epochal air journey. If he sueceeds Lieut. Bromley will break many records for long distance flying. He plans to fly ihe Great Circle route which will take him close to the Aleutian Islands and the Arctic Circle, The distance to be covered is 4700 miles, which will make the flight the longest single flight on a direct line in aviation history. It will keep the aviator in the air approximately thirty-five hours. As Bromley's plane reaches the Japanese seat it will probably run into heavy rains and these will form the hazard second in import- ance only to the fogs of the west- ern Pacific. However, as shipping travels by the Great Circle route, Bromley is not worrying should he be forced down. Chances of rescue at zea, he belleves, are favorable. A well-equipped radio set, in which he will be able to keep. in communication' with half a dozen radio stations along his route will "Editor of "Hash ' " Victim tim of Attack also -add greatly to his of rescue should he be forced down. Concentrated foods and a few chickory tablets for use in case of drowsiness are the only rations which this skyfaring young man will take with him on his tour across the ocean. Friends of Bromley called him "Lucky" and believe that his skill demonstrated during the Great 'War will bring him safely through the greatest flight across an open expanse of water that has ever been attempted by man, | WHAT OTHERS SAY OIVIC PRIDE IN CIVIO BEAUTY After reading an account of two prominent men of our city--having their flower beds stripped--by some person too lazy to do the necessary work to have flowers of their own, I feel like saying something about how hard it is to-try to beautify Oshawa by planting trees, flower seeds or grass seed. We have lots of civic pride in our own home town---but fate seems to be against all our efforts. Police dogs along with smaller breeds of dogs do.a lot of harm, Last week a mneigh- bor put out three boxes of garbage --a small black dog came along, liked the smells, but could not up set them as they were one on top of the other----contents all neatly tied in bundles, in no time two po- lice dogs, and a big collie came to his assistance, down went all tne boxes. The mess the dogs left was a shame. By the way, will some one tell me why they are called police dogs? No one is afraid of a policeman, but a police dog--we dare not med- dle with or they turn on us.

Visiting a city about the cize of Oshawa some time ago in the States, we were very much taken with the beautiful gardens, lawns and' boulevards all set out with lovely hydraranges and flowering shrubs of all kinds, as well as Dah- lias and. pansies. A jolly looking policeman was always somewhere about, 80. we asked him how it was that no children or dogs did any damage. "Not allowed," was the answer. Then I said "you enforce the law?"

Work has been re- tarded to some extent in a number of districts in the south, but the re- mainder of the wheat acreage will be sown within the next few days. Conditions in a number of northern and central districts have been ma- terially improved by rains during the past week, and little concern is felt over general crop prospects from the moisture standpoint. Germination has been uniformly good, and much of the early sown wheat is making rapid growth, Warm weather is re. quired to promote growth, especially in areas where seeding has been de- layed by a heavier than usual preci- pitation. Somes localities report a considerable increase in acreage of grain. Beet seeding has been practically finished in the south, and seed has germinated well. A marked increase is noted in the acreage devoted to sweet clover, alfalfa and the other pasture crops.

ADVENTUROUS SHIP ENTERS ONNEW LIFE 'Was Comandeered by United States During Spanish ; ~ War Vancouver, June 6.--The steam vacht - Stadacona, chameleon ship | of the Pacific coast, has entered upon a new phase in her colorful Her story begins back in the early nineties, when she was laid down at Philadelphia, to become the flag- ship of the New York Yacht Club. In that capacity she made several cruises to the Far East under the name of Columbia, her owner. be- ing a wealthy Boston leather man- ufacturer, Among her djsting- uished guests were the late Presi- dent Theodore Roosevelt and Chauncey Depew. 'When the Spanish-American war broke out the vessel was com- | mandeered by the United States government and rushed 'to the scene of conflict under the name of U.S8.8. Wasp. She was creaitea with having destroyed a Spanish' fortress in Cuba and sinking of an enemy man-o-war, After hostilities ceased she was reconditioned at a cost of $200,- 000 and returned to her original owner. She continued her peace- time status until 1914 when Aemilius Jarvis and J. K. L.. Ross, Canadian capitalists and leaders of the Navy League movement, Cramps shipyard, Tired of heavy foods?

Carying a crew of 70 mer the Stadacona saw active service off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland on parol duty. One of the lieuten- ants who served on her then was J. W. Hobbs, and now Hobbs has taken over the vessel as his own to become the largest vessel flying the ensign of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club. But one of the most interesting phases' of the Stadacona's career came after the war when she was commissioned as a training vessel for the naval college at Esquf- malt. Then a private concern bought her and fitted her out as a rum carrier. For years ' she dodged coastguard vessels while plying her trade between British Columbia and Mexico, but avoidea geizure, An ocean salvage 'com- pany was the next owner and it, in turn, made the sale to the man who was an officer aboard during the Great War. So now the Stadacona is back in' society again, with new. fittings and fresh paint, "She is a good craft, much too good to be left in oblivion" says Captain Hobbs, the new owner, who confesses a sentimental ine terest in his ship.
