VANCOUVER WHEAT VANCOUVER, Nov. 5',-Whoat quoted at 67c on the local ex systematic search for the past two days in lovely flying weather, no signs of tracks or smoke have been observed. Capt. Burke's plane is certainly not showing on any of the lakes which abound on the whole course from, .Llard. to Atlin. If Burke had crasnedj.'as ft is now presumed he did, the' -plane would be very -hard to find as it, doubUess, would be covered with snow. The plane is aluminum covered and would be hard to observe in any case. Burke's two companions were Em 11 Kadlng. mechanic, and Bob Martin, prospector. There Is no word here of Pilot Robin Renahan who is missing on a flight .f rom Vancouver to Skag-way to loin in the search for Burke. Dorbrandt reported today, after a three and a half hour flight over Burke's course that there were plenty of trappers' cabins to be seen but around none that had been inspected from the air were any man tracks of smoke to be seen. There are plenty of moose and cariboo in the country, Dorbrandt reported, and it was quite possible that the men might subsist if still alive. AIR SERVICE FOR CANADA a N. R. and C. P.

SEARCHING FOR FLYER Pat Renahan and Two Companions Have Now Reen Missing For More Than a Week Ancel Eckmann. senior pilot of the Alaska-Washington Airways, was standing by at Seattle at the first of this week awaiting suitable weather before taking off for the north to make a search of Lowe Inlet, Ogden Channel and other waters north of Butedale for Robin Renahan, another of the company's pilots, who has been missing on the coast for over a week now. Renahan was flying north to AUin to take part in the search for Capt. E. J. A. Butke. It is possible that Eckmann may already be In this district conducting his search for Renahan. The last that was heard of Renahan was when he took off from Butedale at 5:30 last Tuesday eve ning for Prince Rupert, Intending to reach here before dark that evening He felt that he could do the 100 miles or so within three-quar ters of an hour. Renahan and his two companions, Frank Hatcher, mechanic, and Sam Clerf, prospec tor, landed at Butedale at 5 o'clock on Tuesday evening. They had left Vancouver at 12:15 noon on Tuesday and were thus well on schedule when they reached Butedale. The visibility was poor at the time Renahan left Butedale and Uiere was a strong southeast wind blow ing. Darkness set in at 6: 16, .so that Renahan had a narrow margin in his attempt to reach Prince Rupert before nightfall.

A letter to the Board read at last night's meeting sets this forh as follows: "During a trip through the northern a part of the province I visited your library on September ?. You may be interested to hear the opinions of an outside librarian. "MkM Cruikshank impressed me very favorably. She seems intensely interested in her public as human beings, not only as persons borrowing reading matter from library shelves. She tries to find out their desires and needs and does her utmost to help them. Such technical matters as catalogue and circulation records are In first-class condition. The col- lection of books is a good one. and the selection of new titles shown careful consideration. "Your Board has doubtless ita - ! Used hew Inadequate your library building Is far carrying on library work. It is crowded and any extension in the present butydjng seem almost impossible. No doubt financial conditions forbid any appeal to the public at the present .time for funds for the erection f a new building, but I sincerely hope that the time may not be far distant when your Board will have the satisfaction of directing the activities of a library which can be all that the publl" requires of It." democrats Elect More Members Both to House And Senate in Contest Franklin Roosevelt Re-elected Governor of New York With Largest Plurality Ever Given By That State to an Executive WASHINGTON, Nov. 5: Wets and drys divided up about equally Senate seats in yesterday's election where prohibition was an issue while anti-Prohibitionists cut into the preponderantly dry majority in the House of Representatives.
