re c EXPERIENCE IN SEAPLANE.| The Chronicle this week — iyed a communication from Miss | Violet Chicane, a daughter of , hhir. and Mrs. H. G. Chicane of | Cottonwood, telling of her ex-| perience in riding in the seaplane that fell at Coeur d'Alene on| July 18 and killed three peolpe. Miss Chicane is at the present time visiting with friends in the) Palouse country and her letter reads as follows: | While reading in the Chron- icle this evening that the folks sent me from Cottonwood. I read about the Seaplane that fell in Coeur d’Alene the 18th, so I am writing you my experience in the plane. | July 5th at Coeur d’Alene, a friends, Alvin Franzen of Pal- ouse and I, decided we would en- joy a ride in the plane, so we went to the office, got the ticket and after they wrote down our past, present and future lives, they took us down to the plane. When we arrived there the pilot (Cleo Miller) and a helper were trying to start the engine, after working a few minutes he look at us and laughed, then said “Well it looks as tho we! are not going very far.” That was because the engine did not seem to run good, but they soon | had it running, so we climbed in and started off. After sailing | across the lake a ways, the en-| gine was in good speed, then we left the water and started going up. It was certainly great and I must say I was never in any thing that I enjoyed as well as riding in the seaplane. It did not seem as tho we were travel-| ing, unless we looked down, and | looking down it did not look! nearly as high as we-really were. | The plane was a failure all the | way through. It was put in| service on July 3rd, preparatory for flights during the Regatta. | In the afternoon of July 5th, it} went out of order and needed re- pairing. They couid not have it during regatta on account of | it being out of order. Then July 7th there was trouble again and while attempting to land, something went wrong and in-| stead of landing in water it landed on the beach, the hull striking a log and damaging it to such an extent that it was laid up for several days. Then the 18th, it went down for good. But it is just great riding in one and I felt just as safe while in the air as I did on the earth and all though it did go down in thirteen days after our ride, it does not worry me a bit and I'll go again at the very next chance and here’s hoping the chance ‘is not far off.

Money you put in- to a truck today may be made to pay dividends for many years to come—or it may be lost before the second year by the failure of your truck to stand-up. You won't need to worry about the life or up-keep of your truck if it’s a GMC. GMC Trucks are built for hard work. Their enduring quality has been proved in severest war work of the United States and Allied Armies, in United States Mail Service, and in the daily deliveries of hundreds of business concerns. Power from the GMC Motor may be applied for other pur- poses than driving the vehicle, through the Power Take-off. In raising telephone pojes, moving safes, and in other auxilliary op- erations, the Power Take-off is thrown into gear through aspe- cial lever from the driver's seat. Your inner tubes are almost as important as yqur tires. But it takes a special skill—a rare skill— to build good tubes. Miller stands supreme in this field. For 24 years Miller has built super-grade rubber goods. Miller today remains the largest maker of such things as surgeons’ gloves. That sort of skill is needed in a tube. Men may differ on the best tire maker, but they cannot differ on the best tube maker, That place is conceded to Miller. Miller Tubes As good as Miller Tires Cottonwood Garage os if No truck, we believe, has surpassed its record. GMC Trucks are built and backed by the great General Motors Corporation, the strongest concern in the automotive industry, insuring against “‘orphan- age,” insuring parts and service for the full, long life of every GMC Truck. Judge any truck by its maker—by its service to users. On that basis we believe you’ll select GMC. Three-quarter to 5 tons. Any style body. Hoene Hardware Layer on layer Miller Tubes are built of thin sheets of pure rubber — surgeon grade, They are built layer on layer, sheet on sheet, up to the proper ply.
