PORTLAND GETS
AVIATION MEET
First City of Northwest to Ar
range Flight for March
5, 6 and 7.
EXPERT HAMILTON COMING
Portland Fair and Livestock Asso
ciation Closes Contract for Air-
ship ContestsIiOcal Men With
Machines, to Compete.
Portland Is to be the first city in the
Northwest to have an aviation meet,
for the Portland Fair & Livestock As
sociation has arranged with Charles
K. Hamilton, one of the men who made
record flights at the recent Los Angeles
meet, to come here and demonstrate
aerial navigation on March 5, 6 and 7.
This was definitely settled at a meet
ing of the stockholders of the associa
tion held at the Commercial Club yes
terday afternoon, and it is proposed to
have other aerial "kings" besides Ham
ilton appear in the flights.
The Portland Fair & Livestock Asso
ciation has had this matter under con
sideration for some time, and yesterday
a favorable proposition was received
from Charles K. Hamilton with the re
sult that the organization closed with
him immediately.
i
Wemrae and Burkhart to Fly.
E. Henry Wemme's machine, which
Tie purchased Just prior to' the auto
mobile show dates, and the aerial ma
chine Invented by J. C. Burkhart will
also be entered in this meet, but in ad
dition, it is the intention of the asso
ciation to secure as many other notable
aerial navigators as possible for this
meet.
Several responses favorable to the
Portland meet have been received from
noted aviators besides Hamilton, and
if they can find it convenient to be here
on the dates named the affair will be
one of National importance.
Hamilton recently broke the high
speed record by flying one mile In 1:37,
and at the LoBAngeles contests he broke
, the world's record for the slow-speed
record by sailing a mile In 4 minutes.
In aviation contests the slow-speed
record is of as much importance as is
the high-speed records; at least, such
Is the view of the matter taken by the
men ho are directly or indirectly in
terested in flying machines.
Special Kates to Be Made.
Arrangements have been made with
the' different railway companies oper
ating into this city for special ejtcur
elon rates to Portland during the avia
tion meet. A fare of 1 1-2 for the round
trip will be provided for residents of
Willamete Valley and also those resid
ing at The Dalles and on the North
Bank road as far east as the latter city.
Speed trials, cross-country flights, ris
ing and alighting of machines, and all
manner of tests common to aviation
meets, will be introduced at the Port
land meet, and it is also planned to
have automobile races in conjunction,
which will form a decided contrast to
the aerial flights.
TAXES LESS IS ARGUMENT
Annexation Club Will Sleet
Beaverton on Saturday.
at
A general meeting of the Washington
Multnomah Annexation Club will be held
at Beaverton next Saturday afternoon
at 2 o'clock to discuss the benefits to be
derived from the annexation of 92 sec
tions of Washington County to Multno
mah. The officers of the club have sent out
notices to people living in the part of
Washington County proposed to be an
nexed to Multnomah and a large attend
ance is expected. Oglesby Young, of
Portland, will argue that the Washington
County people are highly taxed for which
they do not receive full benefits. He will
make a point of the fact that state and
county taxes in Multnomah County this
year are only 8.1 mills as against 12
mills general tax in Washington County
and a special tax of 6 mills for road work.
Notwithstanding the tax levied for
roads, argument is advanced that
Washington County spends no 'money
for this purpose in the 92 sec
tions which are seeking annexation
to Multnomah County, and in Multnomah
County the 8.1 mil! tax includes roads.
PIANO RECITAL PLEASES
Playing of Miss Pearl Barde Is Ac
corded Hearty Applause.
Miss Pearl Barde added, to the al
ready favorable Impression she has
won as a pianiste, in this city, by the
fine concert programme she gav last
night at Christensen Hall, with the
assistance of John Claire Monteith,
baritone, and John Ross Fargo, tenor.
The hall was filled with an audience
friendly to Miss Barde, and she was
kindly received and was the recipient
of several encores and bouquets. Her
playing shows ease and finish and her
interpretation of dynamics Is strong in
its grasp of tonal effect. Several of
the numbers played by Miss Barde are
classics, but she gave a satisfactory
rendition of them, and showed all in
all that she is a hard-working stu
dent and good piano player.
Mr. Fa'rgo and Mr. Monteith both
pleased by their songs and a duet,
the "Hunting Song," from Bullard's
"King Arthur." The piano accompan
ists were Miss Lorna Ganong and Miss
Ethel Barksdale.
If you are suffering from blllnuTi
constipation, indigestion, chronic bead
ache, invest one cent in a postal card,
send to Chamberlain Medicine Co., Des
Moines, Iowa, with your name and ad
dress plainly on the back, and they will
forward you a free sample of Chamber
lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. Ptoirl

BRIDGE
UNION
AVENU
E IS FAULTY
Startling Condition of Span
Over Sullivan Gulch Is
Discovered.
SPECIFICATIONS TO BLAME
City Engineer Morris-Says Construc
tion Js Such That Vibration Is
Causing Concrete to Jar Loose
and New Deck. Is Necessary.
A bill from the Northwest Bridge
Works, presented to the City Council
committee on Judiciary . yesterday af
ternoon, developed the startling fact
that the Union avenue steel and con
crete bridge, built two years ago at
a cost of $60,000, is In bad condition
and will soon have to be redecked.
Because a piece of concrete fell from
the center of the span, leaving a hole
about eight Inches in diameter, a situ
ation was discovered by City Engineer
Morris that bids fair to create a sensa
tion in official circles. The committee
recommendation to the main body is
that the bill for $37 be paid.
Presentation of the small bill by the
bridge company, builder of the Union
avenue span, created great surprise
among the members of the committee
Councilmen Cellars, Baker and Ellis.
They immediately called in City Engi
neer Morris, who advised payment of
the bill, but who regarded it as a poor
policy on the part of the bridge com
pany to have presented it.
"Isn't there any guarantee as to that
bridge?" asked Chairman Cellars of
Mr. Morris.
Company Not to Blame.
- "I think not was the reply. "I do
not blame the company for the condi
tion of the bridge, as it was faulty
specifications that brought about the
condition and caused the concrete to
fall out. I discovered that first break
myself, as I was going over the bridge
with Charles Smith, of the Executive
Board. I had the Northwest Bridge
Works repair the break, and I would
pay the bill, as it is small and not
worth worrying over; but what is com
ing may oause you to sit up a little."
"Ia the rest going to fall?" queried Mr.
Cellars.
"I would not ray that," replied Mr.
Morris, "but I am watching it very
closely. Eventually, it will have to be
torn up and a new deck put in, because
the s'pecin'cations' were faulty, thus allow
ing vibration that causes the concrete to
work loose all over the deck."
Councilman Ellis tried to And some way
whereby the streetcar company could be
forced to pay for the repairs, as the con
crete that fell out lay between the car
tracks, but the committee decided that
the city was at fault in its specifications;
and is responsible for the results.
New Deck Must Be Built.
While Mr. Morris declares that a new
deck will have to be built 'on the bridge,
it is considered safe for use for some
time, and traffic has not yet been stopped.
The bridge was constructed during the
regime of Dr. Harry Lane as Mayor, and
IX W. Taylor as City Engineer, J. B. C.
Lockwood as consulting engineer, drew
the plans and specifications; according to
Mr. Taylor. Jesse Hannam. a Deputy
City Engineer, supervised this span, as
he did the reinforced concrete bridge on
t-ast Twenty-eighth street, which Is in
such lamentable condition that it has
never been accepted.
The judiciary committee had before it
for consideration a bill for S49 Horn J,
A. Arment, right-of-way agent for the
city, for taking notary acknowledgments
It was denied, as the charter does not
permit of-, an employe accepting money
oiner man ms salary, unless for ex
penses incurred in the discharge of duty.
TWO ASK BIG BRIDGE DAMAGES
Albcrs Bros, and 'Jirs. Flanders
Charge $210,000 to Span.
. Maria L. Flanders and the Alber
Bros. Milling Company ask $210,000 for
a strip of land 70.34x100 feet in an
swering the city's condemnation pro
ceedings for the Broadway bridge site.
Their demands were filed In the Circuit
Court yesterday. The milling company
holds a 2o-year lease on the property.
and seeks $100,000 for the alleged dam
age the bridge piers will cause.
The Flanders property consists of
10 lots in block 31S, Couch Addition,
and Greenwich Docks Nos. 1 and 2,
with the adjacent warehouses. The
lease to the milling company was
signed May 24, last year, the rental
ranging Irom size a year to $175,000
a year.
Mrs. Flanders says a reasonable price
ror tms property is $60,000. The pro
posed bridge will divide the property,
she says, into two parts, thereby ren
dering it' less valuable by making it
more expensive for steamers and large
ships to dock.
Albers Bros, say they have been in
the grain-shipping business at this
point since '1898, operating under a
lease of the Oregon & California Rail
road Company. Since July, 1909, they
have been using the Flanders property.
They say they had .plans prepared and
had let machinery contracts to enlarge
their plant, having arranged to spend
$200,000.
The condemnation suit is premature,
they allege, saying the city must have
the consent of the Federal Government
to construct a bridge at this point
before it can start action to appro
priate property.
It is further alreged that the citv
charter does not give ihe city authority
to construct the bridge or to appro
priate real 'estate to public use, and
that the suit is contrary to the pro
visions of the - 14h amendment to the
United State Constitution.
