September 8 City of Portland, man aged by Lincoln Beechey, made a suc cessful flight, returning to starting Point. It may be said that In the two last euoceeafut flights credited to the City of Portland, the gasbag of the Gela- tine was used. This was necessitated by the balloon attachment of the City of Portland being torn en September 2, when the airship, falling to return to lt starting place, collided with a tree on the ether side of the Willam ette River. Few Portlanders realize fully the remarkable aeral navigation achieve ments that have taken place at the Lewis and Clark Exposition this Sum mer. For years experiments with air ships and dirigible balloons have boon conducted both In the United States and Europe by men who have devoted tneir lives and fortunes to this wnrk. but all records have been broken in Portland by an lS-yoar-old boy aero naut, Lincoln Beeches', who has made tlx entirely successful flights in Cap tain Baldwin's airsnip, the City of Portland. Four satisfactory flights wore made in succession, the airship each time returnlnjr to its startlnc rl i . . " ,u """ iiuvcr ueen equaiea ceieorauon in .Portland next Summer before in the world.

Mukes Great Record. Beechey has not been wholly success- additional charm to the pretty proci il in his ascensions at h T?n f- , prucos- Cul in his ascensions at the Fair, five oui oi ins 11 attempts being attended by failure. Beginning with July 24, four times did Boochoy ascend in the Angelus. and four times did ho sail away in his aerial ship frpm the Ex position grounds, to return by the ground route with his airship in a wagon. These failures only made him the more determined and more anxious to ascend. The fourth ascension of the Angelus doomed the future of this airship at tho Exposition, as Captjain Baldwin lost hoart ln it, and refused to allow Beechey to go up In It any more. Cap tain Baldwin and Beechey both say that the Angelus is an excellent air ship, in fact the very best ever made, but that there are a few defects in the motor which need to be remedied. The City of Portland was then made by Captain Baldwin. The building of Lue vny oi -foruana marked the lncen- tlon of the successful airship flights at the Fair. On August 29 Beechey made his initial flight In it and for the flrst time returned to the starting point. Since then ho has made six other ascensions, Ave of -which liave been ex tremoly satisfactory In each instance, Beechey returning to the place whence he started. Beechey is a remarkable aeronaut and the City of Portland is a remark- able airship. In all its ascensions at the Exposition, not once has It balked or broken down. The one unsuccessful flight which is scored against it is due solply to the high wind which was blow ing. Head Is Xot Turned. Most boys of 18, or even a great deal older, would undoubtedly become very Jmportant upon accomplishing the feats that Beechey has. But not so with Lin coln Beechey: he is not of that cali ber. Instead he is utterly unassuming, but nevertheless ambitious to a pro the Lewirand ClaTk eSoSuSJ 1? such nounced degree. Beechey is the Idol of term rolarht be atmlle.l und att i tlons and honors have been showered upon him, but ln spite of all his head is not turned In the least. He cares ab solutely nothing . about notoriety, but has devoted his life to the great task of conquering the elements. He nas conquered the atmosphere, and now he wants to subdue the wind, -which is his greatest foe when he is in the air. Those who hav closely followed the career of Beechey say he was born to be an aeronaut, the same as Longfel low was born to bo a poet. It is in him, and will remain with him through life. It was a little over Ave years ago, that an aeronaut, -who was exnerimentlnr wa JL naiiQon X Man, tlced a little boy hanging around thj piaee irom early morning until late at flight. Whenever the balloon was out tnis little boy was always there. One day the aeronaut. ha'inir forme J liking for the boy. took the little ehap up in the balloon. That very act molded the life of that little chap, only years of ape. He haj? been following the balloon and airship ever since. That iittie Doy was Beechey. How He Met 'Baldwin. At first his parents objected, but when they saw that he xas deter mined, they gave up the attempt to neaa him oft from his ehosen vocation Beechey made many ascensions in balloons before he went up in an alr- snip. mis first and only flight In an airship before he came to Portland was In Los Angeles, when he man: aged Professor George E. Eaton's dirigible balloon. The flight was only captain uaidwln, who was orf tho outlook for an apt punlL the rounder me oetter, neard of Lincoln Beeohey lie immediately hunted him up, and the two struck a bargain at once. That was three years ago, and since then they have been constant companions. "When I go up in an airshiD. I hard ly realize that I am above the ground so natural aoes it seem," said Lin ooln Beechey yesterday morning. "The air and the ground are both alike to me. i never think of -what might oc uur ju cane someimng would go wrong, i am too busy managing tho airsnip, ana looking after the motor, for reflection. Even when I first went up in a balloon I was not nervous, really liked the sensation. Some peo pie instinctively like certain things and I guess that is the wnv with m and the airship. I don't know what fear Is when I am in the air. Has Xo Fear "Whatever. "I intend to devote my life to air ships, and will continue to go up .in them as long as I am able to. I do not anticipate any accidents, a reallv when a .person knows his business the danger is reduced to a minimum. The chances against you are so Insignifl cant that they are hardly worth men uonlng. The greatest danger, and that is trifling, is when you start. If an accident will happen, it will ooour just as you start. The gasbag can not caton a fire from the motor. The other day, when I landed on the far side of the river a rent "was torn In tne gasbag within three feet of the motor, and there was no trouble. Some day, not very, long off eitner, I expect to land on the cradles from which I start the flight. Several times at me Exposition I came very near il Captain Baldwin, during the course of the interview, stated that Boechey nas a Durning desire to sail under and oyer the Brooklyn Bridge, at Now xorK city. When a6ked regarding me maiter. lieeciiey said he had con trol enough over the City of Portland io ascompiisn tne I oat without the slightest difficulty. Captain Baldwin and Beechev will stick together' after the Exposition; each thinks the other is Indispensable If anything Is to be done In the way oi aeriai navigation. They will flrst go East, to examine a new kind of motor, and will spend the Winter at ixs Angeles.

In all of the social events that have taken place during the Exposition, and in all of the colebratlons. California has taken a lead and has been repre sented by the best the commonwealth could offer, but at no previous colebra tlon did such an assemblage of her noted sons and daughters gather as came together yesterday. The old Spanish entrances lo the state building were appropriately fes tooned with yellow streamers and flags with the familiar grizzly bear. and over the San Antonio entrance in particular, the decorations were note worthy. Address by Commissioner Pilchcr. The grounds at the east entrance to the structure were packed with poople, and as J. A. Fllcher. chlof commis sioner to the Exposition and chairman of the day, appeared on the platform mighty shout went up. and the day was begun. In an eloquent speech, replete at the outset with praise for the Exposition, the speaker told of the part California has taken in making the Fair a not able success. Frcm Siskiyou on the north to San DIogo on the south, and from the mighty Sierras to the sun kissed waves of the Pacific, the people of California are celebrating this an niversary of the state's admission to the Union, and are paying homage to the glorious emblem, which floats above thorn," he said. "While California claims this day. as her own,"' he continued, "we all help to glorify this grand Northwest em pire and this marvelous Exposition, which Is doing so much toward letting the people of the world know the re sources and the culture of the "Western empire. "There Is vastly more behind this Exposition than the showing of the resources of this section of the globe. I predict that ln the next few years this Western Coast will take a larger part In the commerce of tho world than evor before, and It -will mainly be due to this Exposition' Since the opening of the Fair, the speaker said in conclusion, more than 45.000 yellow badges bad been given to visitors from the state to the South. Goode Is Complimentary. The gratitude of the Exposition management for the noble part Cali fornia has taken toward making the Fair a success, was the theme of President Goode's remarks. "When ever. I speak of California's part lhtbls Exposition," said he, T am always compelled to speak in superlatives. The peoplo of the Pacific Coast look upon California and San Francisco as OTe people of the Atlantic Coast look upon New York and her metropolis," he concluded. "The line which separates Califor nia from Oretron" said Rrnntnr "c r ""Wolfe, of California, president nro tern, of tho Senate of the state, "is an artificial one. There really is ho di vision. There Is a commendable unity of thought and of purpose, -which is bound to develop into 'intold good for both commonwealths. Predicts Great Future. i "The yomtn of California are her pride, but the women of "Oregon run them a clote second. Horace Greeley said. 'Young man, go West.' and the young men arc going West, and will come West until tho 5.000.000 of California will become 10. 00,000, and the 1,000.000 of Oregon, 2,050.000 souls. Fifteen years ago we seriously i thought of annexing Oregon, but now It This Exposition has done more to de velop the resources of the Northwest than 100 years of slow plodding," he con eluded. In accents tinged with Biblical refer ences. F. C. Prescott. speaker of the Call fornla Assembly, told of the glories of his native state, and of the accomplish' ments of the Exposition. "I have never before been to an exposition." said he. "and I thank God that I have been per mitted to view this one. And as I have marveled at its beauties and Its com' pletcncss. I am reminded of the words. 'Lot your light so shine before men that they may see your good works And this Is not blasphemy. Taught by Oregon. "We Callfornlans can but hope to com pete with this Exposition In the extras! Ubn which -we will surely hold after this one. You have taught us how to do things, and we have learned of the great' ness of Oregon and of her future great ness. God has given more to Oregon than to California, as witness"- the mighty Columbia In Its empirical flow to the Pa cine. y "It Is a sad thought Indeed to content plate thatHhls Exposition will soon be come a thing of the past, and that these beautiful edifices will soon be leveled to the ground. A very sad thought, indeed. but we can take comfort in the fact that the work of this Exposition will last for ever, and that our children's children will reap the benefits." concluded the speaker. Gcsford Speaks for Natlvo Sons. When Henry Gesford. of Napa, mounted the platform, the applause, was long and loud. As past grana president oi tne so clety. of the Native Sons of California his words appealed strongly to those plo neers who were present and heeded them. He recited the trials of tne early Calif or I ni... r tia V. citizens of the state took in the Lewis i and Clark Exposition and ln the people 1 of Oreeon. Senator J. B. Curtln and George T. Rolley spoke In like manner. The members of tho legislative commit tee were Seated on the platform. The Ad. ministration Band rendered appropriate sweciions. Nothing more that California can do In the way of hospitality need be done. Other states have done their share to ward making the Exposition a commercial and a social success, but none of them win have a feeling of Jealousy when they near tne praises sung by the crowds which attended tho receptions yesterday afternoon In the boautiful and spacious pariors oi the California building. More Like a Lcvce. it -was more In the nature of a levee than a reception in honor of the sons and daughters of the state. It is doubtful If a President of the United States ever held a more Impressive reception than was held In honor of the members of the Joint Legislative committee, who. stand Ing In the receiving line with their wives and daughters, greeted their friends and exchanged congratulations and the cour tesloe of the day. Downstairs near the San Antonio and Dolores entrances, the crowds wero so dense that the aid of tho guards was nocessary to thin them ouL Perspiring men and women and children almost fought to make their way to the stair ways, and those who succeeded ln squirm ing their way up, considered themselves lucky. California days at other Interna tional fairs have been marked successes, but it is stated that yesterday led them all In point of enthusiasm, and almost c.ualed them ln numbers. Refreshments Arc Served. Dalntlly-clad women vied with each other ln extending to the guests that feeling of "at homo" which has brought as much fame to the state as her other successes. In the north gallery at both end, at the buffets, women, whose per sonal charms have added jct another and greater laurel to the fame and name of California, served tho guests with refresh ments. And while good cheer was everywhere manifest, there arose above the din of laughter and conversation the sounds of women singing. Mrs. J. 8. Wood, of San Francisco, sang ln a manner indicating her deep study, and in wonderfully clear tones. "Does Thou Know That Sweet Land," from "Mignon." And following her, in a song peculiarly appropriate, enrae Miss May Adell Case, of Portland, who created a stir a few days ago bv singing "Nearer.' My God. to Thee." In a balloon suspended high above the Exposi tion grounds. Allxs case rendered an original song composed by Mrs. Jennla Thorpe, entitled "California." As the last notes of her sweet soprano voice pealed out high and clear, the crowds, with ona accord, cheered and applauded. Among the crowds were many promi nent pople of California, and also of Oregon and Washington. The Oregon and the Washington Press Association attended ln force. Members of the Mer chants Association, of San Francisco, and of the Commercial Club, of Los An geles, were also present. The officials of the City of Portland and of the Expo sition management swelled the list of prominent guests. Crowds at the Balldlns;. As the function drew to a close, almost all the paths leading to the building be came crowded with people, who knowing tne nospltanty or California, desired do Join in her festivities. Soon the grounds surrounding the building were a dense mass of pushing, crowding people, all bent on getting Into the structure at the same time. Then followed a feast that will long be remembered by those who were fortu nate enough to crowd their way Into the structure, and to take part in it.

Pew Fair visitors pass through the Manufactures building at the Lewis and Clark Exposition without having their attention challenged by the attractive booth of Woodard. Clarke & Co., In the center aisle, near the south end of the building. This exhibit, at onco striking and artistic. Is especially lnterestng to the fair sex, as here are exhibited and exploited some of the most invaluable requisites of the perfectly appointed toilet. U-AR-DAS em blazoned on the stately pillars Inclosing tho booth, gives the key to this exhibit's chief attraction. This luxurious bath preparation, also Known as Bath of Benzoin, has come to be considered an Indispensable accessory to the toilet of every woman who values a clear complexion and prizes true beauty. The remarkably beneficial properties of benzoin, the principal Ingredient of U-AR-DAS. wero first discovered by an Egyptian Princess of renowned beauty, and as she transmitted her secret to posterity, few women laying claim to beauty are- today without It. U-AR-DAS is prepared ln convenient tablet form, highly concentrated, one tablet dissolved In the bath being sufficient to Impregnate the water witn a wondrous fragrance, making It Soft and inde scribably pleasing. The skin retains the delicate odor for hours, and the delightful freshness and velvety appearance indefinitely. Another toilet preparation- of no les3 Importance to the woman desirous of enhancing her personal charms than U-AR-DAS Is Woadlark Dermatic Egg. Shampoo. This toilet luxury is also shown and exploited at the Fair bv Woodard. Clarke &. Co., who are the sole manufacturers and distributers. Fair visitors are cordially invited to visit tho booth of Woodard, Clarke & Co.. at the Exposition where courteous attendants will be pleased to explain the properties of these matchless toilet preparations, and 'also to Inspect the" largo store of this firm at Fourth and Washington, ono of the largest drug houses on the Pacific Coast to Increasing the attendance In the clos ing month of the Exposition. The committee on legislation deferred its report until December. An Invitation from the Mergenthaler Linotype Company was accepted to visit the exhibit in the Manufacturers' building. A message of greeting was sent to John Dymond, New Orleans. La., president of the National Editorial Association. A committee con sisting of A. Bennett, W. J.

HIGH rttAISE BY (GOODING Governor of Idaho Compliments Portland and the Exposition. "We look upon the Lewis and Clark Exposition as the greatest llttla Fair the world has ever known." said Gov ernor Gooding, of Idaho, last night at the Hotel Portland. "We take a pride In all the exhibits and excellent ar rangements because we realize that we are in partnership with Oregon on the proposition, and I know for a cer tainty that every Western state feels tho same way about It. "The Fair Is bound to attract a great many desirable people here from all portions of the country, and in a sense Portland will be the distributing point for all this splendid immigration. "Words are inadequate to express the appreciation of the people of Idaho with those of Oregon for the kindly and generous spirit in which we have been received here. Anything of this character will have a tendency to draw the ties of frlertttshlp more closely be tween the two states, and redound to their mutual advantage. "Idaho appropriated 535.060 for the purpose of making it? state exhibit. 55000 of which was expended on the book and the balance entered ln the construction of the building. It was not much, but we were crowded for time and had to do the best we could. Great numbers of our citizens have visited the Fair, and upon their return home havo been a walking advertise ment for it, so that from this on you mny expect a steady stream to come from there." The Governor predicts a great fu ture for Idaho's 'mineral Interests, es pecially in connection with recent developments. t Accompanied by hl3 staff.
