Lodge Gathering
HALL WELL DECORATED
Three Prizes Given for Candidates
Secured Oregon City Lady
Wins In the
Contest.
Five hundred candidates were given
the final work by the Fraternal Bro
therhood in the Portland armory,
Tuesday evening, under the auspices
of Lodge No. 209. Seventy-five mem
bers attended from Oregon City, mak
ing the trip to and from Portland in
a car chartered for the occasion. The
Oregon City lodge furnished 60 can
didates. Supreme President James Foshna,
of California, waa the chief master of
ceremonies for the evening. He was
assisted by Mr. Martin, state mana
ger of Washington and th state man
ager from Montana.
The Portland team from lodge No.
209 put on the floor work, assisted by
the team from Oregon City lodge 302.
The number Initiated 500 was the
largest ever given a degree by any
lodge initiating both sexes.
Mr. Taylor, Oregon state manager,
acted as supreme president for the
occasion, and R. A. Sawyer of Oregon
City, was supreme vice president The
candidates were led by D. Bradley, of
this city, and Dr. Cox, of Portland.
The hall was beautifully decorated
vith Oregon roses and sweet peas,
intertwined with a profusion of red
bunting.
After the work of the evening re
freshments were served and dancing
was indulged in. An orchestra of 17
pieces furnished music for the oc
casion. There were three prizes given to
those who secured the greater num
ber of candidates for initiation. They
were: First prize, $30 or three weeks'
trip to seashore, Mr. Clark, Canvas;
second. $35 or two weeks' at seashore, !
May Deadrow, Multnomah lodge, Port
land; third, $20 or one week at Sea
shore, Clara Slettenheart, Oregon
City.
Those from this city who partici
pated report a 'very enjoyable time.
The special car arrived In Oregon '
City at 2 o'clock a. m., with a tired
but happy crowd.

The fire started about midnight In

not long ago on learning of the success

"unit I am proud of the fact that
1 America leads the world In that mat

Wrights had demonstrated the practi
cability of their machine, but had
made no contract for the construction
of a fleet. They were negotiating with
the French, government, and It was
supposed that France would have the
honor of launching the 11 rut vessels of
the Wright design. It was reported
that France had an option on the In
vention of the Ohio men, but for some
reason tuo negotiations were- broken
on. It Is sn)d that the brothers sub
mitted genera! plans to the government
guaranteeing a flight of fifteen miles
and asking for I'.ixyxHX The height of
flight guaranteed was only seventy
five feet, according to report, anil as
the French government considered a
height of IMi feet essential for war
purposes Jt declined to give more than
$10,000. The Wrights left Paris for
Berlin a ehort time ago to arrange for
the construction of a nuralwr of air-
hlns. and It Is understood they will
be paid $10,000 by the Herman govern-
went for each ship built by them. They ,
purchased In Paris several lltfht motors!
of twenty-four and forty horsepower. !
The WHght machine Is a gliding ma
chine. There Is no dependence on bal
loons In any form. Th craft Is built
to operate on the heavier than air prin

caused by rapid flight and the broad

craze acd have been experimenting
with flylt g machines since about 1!").
They ear-y determined upon the aero- j
plane as giving the best chance of suc
cessful flight and In l!0:i succeeded lu
making a machine which would fly.
Slnco then their efforts have been
given to Improving their machine and
overcoming practical dltllcultles. The
first flight lastisl only tlfty-nliie sec
onds, but during It the aeroplane ad
vanced a distance of K7J feet against a
twenty mile an hour wind. The next
year the brothers accomplished for the
first time the feat of describing a cir
cle. By the latter part of l!i4 tiiej
hnd succeeded In flying ns long (lis
tances ns four miles at n time. Most
of the experiments were made over
meadows near their home at I my ton.
They kept their aerial operations as
much lu the dark, so to speak, as possi
ble In order to protect their discoveries
', and Inventions from appropriation by
othora and often made their flights nt
night. In the latter part of HHjr a
flight of twenty-five miles was made at
a rate of nearly forty miles an hour.
The accompanying picture from a
photograph reproduced in the Scientific j
American gives a general idea of the j
Wright neroplane. Heretofore the '
brothers have been very secretive j

1 that their work has been crowned with !
success and the stamp of approval has
boen placed upon It by a powerful Eu-
ropenn government and with their !
financial future assured by the action I

of utterance in respect to their Ideas
