Lands Hazelton
Dawson to. Fly 7

Norbeit A. O'Mara, owner-pilot, ani
Herbert Jones, pilot, arrived at. the
Mission Point landing field, Hazelton,
on Friday, a week ago, in a five pas-
senger ‘Beechcraft bi-plane, from Ara-
zona, It was their intention to fly
through to.Carcross and other Alaska
points, but owing to weather conditions
were held up here. “They waited for
a week and as the reports for an im-
medinte clearing were not favorable,
decided to take the train to Prince
Rupert and do the Alaska points hy
train and boat.” They are expected to
return to Hazelton this week and start
thelr return journey south. On this
trip they will be accompanied by C. W.
Dawson as guest passenger as far 18
California, and perhaps further.

. The plane has a cruising speed of
175. miles an -hour and is the fastest
machine’ that has ‘yet: landed at Mis-
sion Point. It attracted a good deal
of attention locally. —

While in Hazelton for a week they
had some good fishing under the guid-
ance of C. W. Dawson who knows all
the ways and ‘hiding places of the big
fighting trout. But this time the fish
fooled even. Mr. Dawson - and the vis-
Itors got no fish, but, as Mr, Jones re-
marked, ' “that. didn’t matter, as lots
of people where he came fron and
where they have‘been, often go fishing
and get no fish, The visitors had a:
good time and enjoyed thelr ‘forced
sojourn. They IHked the country, the
climate the people and everything,
