DEUTHER GOING EAST TO BUILD HIGH POWER, TRICK AEROPLANE

Harold Deuther, flyer and aeroplane expert, who has made Spokane his headquarters for three years, will leave for Buffalo, N. Y. next week, where he will construct an exhibition biplane containing a 100-horsepower engine which he will use next summer and fall.

Deuther expects to enter the aero business in Buffalo, but says he will return to the northwest as soon as his machine is completed and he hopes to give an exhibition In Spokane next fall. Deuther is a self taught aviator. He had a biplane at Parkwater two years ago which he used to learn many of the points of the flying game and later started in exhibition work, doing the fairs in the northwest, including British Columbia.

“I'll be back next summer with a regular trick machine,” said Deuther today. “I have secured a high power engine so that I can do the loops and other fancy stunts. Aside from the engine I will construct all of my new machine myself, and when it is finished I want to take at least one trip over Spokane.”
