Wemme's Aeroplane Narrowly
Misses Felida Wreck. -
$500 CASH PRIZE OFFERED
Winner Will Receive This ' Sum If
Paulhan's Distance Record Is
. BrokenHamilton Arrives To
: day to Prepare for Flights.
Narrowly escaping being wrecked in the
snowslide near Felida, Wash., yesterday
morning, the train of the Oregon &
Washington Railroad from Seattle bear
ing E. Henry Wemme's Curtlss aeroplane
arrived here five hours late yesterday
afternoon.
E. J. Arnold and Waiter E. Connelly,
who had charge of the machine during
the time It was on exhibition in Seattle,
Rrrived on the same train'. It will be
taken this morning from the express
office and transported to the Portland
Fair and Livestock Association's Country
Club grounds, where a temporary tent
hanger will be stretched for housing it
during the aviation meet here next Sat
urday, Sunday and Monday. Connelly, an
aviation expert, will have charge of set
ting up the air craft and will likewise
be one of its drivers during the meet.
Other drivers of the Wemme machine
will be Forrest Su-ttthson, the noted Ore
gon athlete and Howard M. Covey.
A cash prize of $500 has -been offered
by the Portland Aeronautic Club to the
aviator breaking the distance ...record
made by Louis Paulhan at Los Angeles,
who flew 35 miles. This is open to all.
Hamilton to Arrive Today.
The Aeronautic Club was recently or
ganised with E. Henry Wemme as presi
dent. Prominent among other members
are M. C. Dickinson. George W. Joseph
and D. O. Lively.
Charles K. Hamilton, the famous avi
ator, will arrive In Portland this evening
an tie Shasta. Limited of the Southern
Pacific. His two Curtlss aeroplanes will
be on the same train. He will be accom
panied by mechanicians and assistants.
Hamilton will give no flights previous
to the opening of the meet Saturday aft
ernoon at 2 o'clock. The Wemme ma
chine, will, however, be given several
tryouts before that time. The time will
not be announced and only newspaper
men will be permitted to witness the
initial tryouts. The machine now owned
by Mr. Wemme. which he has been ex
hibiting for the benefit of the- Portland
Mount Hood road fund, is the one in
which Hamilton made his sensational
flights at Los Angeles, breaking the slow
speed record.
As the result of a request made by
Brigadier-General Marion P. Maua. com
manding the Department of the Colum
bia, stationed at Vancouver Barracks,
Hamilton will conduct a series of maneu
vers at the Country Club grounds as he
would in a battle. One of the feats to
be attempted in this connection will be
the dropping of a bag of sand while In
full flight from a height of 600 feet. The
aim wili-be to see if the aviator can drop
the bag within a five-foot circle. Hamil
ton has previously accomplished, this, it
is said.
O. R. & X. to Run Trains to Grounds
For the accommodation of the crowds,
the O. R. & N. will conduct special trains
every ten minutes to the grounds from
the Union Depot.
A recent Issue of the Scientific Ameri
can has the following to say of Hamil
ton: As soon an he had finished flying at Los
Angeles. Charles K. Hamilton went to Kan
riej?o. where he made a number of daring
flights with his Curtlss biplane. On Jan
uary 23, after starting- from the vast plain
near the Hotel del Coronado. Hamilton twice'
flew cut over the ocean so far that he dis
appeared from view for ten minutes. When
he reappeared, he came from a. different di
rection. In the first flight he covered about
ten miles, and In the second one 15. The
wind was blowing at times as high aa 20
miles an hour.
. After circling upward to a height of about
800 feet. Hamilton stopped his motor and
made a wonderful long, straight . glide to
earth. This Is probably a record perform
ance, certainly the longest glide made in
America. A week later, at Bakerafleld, Cal.,
he made two excellent flights under diffi
cult conditions. Starting from a half-mile
track, he flew about the town and out over
the desert and adjoining fields, finally land
ing successfully at the starting point.- His
mastery of the biplane seems complete. ,

Ejected -ffom a. Southern Pacific pas

rass, which he d eel area was issued for
a valuable consideration. Thomas J. Wil

United States Court for the recovery of
$5006.90. the value of the alleged injury
to his feelings., the cost of a night's lodg
ing and railroad fare from Oregon City
to Roseburg. .
Williams says he received the- pass In

of his vest. A conductor came along, he
says, looaea at me pass and refused to
honor it. The aforesaid conductor is al
leged to have humiliated the plaintiff,
ending the incident by spurning the price
of a regular ticket to Roseburg. and
throwing Williams from the smoking-car
with violence.
Mr. Williams tarried over night at Ore
gon City and proceeded to Roseburg the
following day. He asks $6.90 as .the cost
of the lodging and the railroad fare and
$5000 as balm. for the wounds which his
pride is alleged to have sustained.
DESCHUTES AFFAIRS AT REST
Irrigation Company's Business to
Stand Still During ' Suit.
By agreement between the attorney
representing Eastern bondholders and the
Deschutes1 Irrigation & Power Company
an armistice has been arranged so far aa
the securities or assets of the latter com
pany are affected by the suit for a re
ceiver In the United States Court...
Speedy action was requested by the
Ohio investors' upon the allegation that
the Oregon directors of the Deschutes
Company would on March 12 redeem $76,
000 of the second, or collateral bonds, of
the company, alleging that the money
proposed to be used belonged to the sink
ing fund for the redemption of the first
issue of bonds purchased by Columbus
capitalists'.
The Deschutes Company has agreed
that the status quo shall be maintained
as far as the business of the company
is concerned until the attorneys shall
have filed briefs with the court and Judge
Bean shall have had time to give care
ful attention to the Issues of the case.
A decision will probably not be rendered

"KlKbflnsr the Beef Trust."
PORTLAND, OHECO.V.
For the Sake of Truth, Frank L. Smith
Asks You to Believe This :
He is "Fighting the Beef Trust"
alone and single-handed. He has no
ally, no backer, no partner. He is
nobody's tool. He stands in with no
living person' on buying and selling
prices, nor terms, hours, wages nor
anything else.
His slogan, "Fighting the Beef
Trust," means he is fighting the beef
trust of Chicago and its inhuman ac
complishments. ' He is fighting the
Portland branches of the Chicago
beef trust and the trust's retail markets.
For the last four years he has re
peatedly turned down offers of the
Beef Trust andits agents to sell out
to them and to stand in with them
and raise the retail price of meat.
Even in the face of threatened busi
ness annihilation he has done this.
The markets on both sides of him
on Alder street belong to his oppo
nents. Everybody connected -with
them he regards as unprincipled ene
mies. He has never stood in with
them in any shape, make or manner,
and he never will.
He buys his stock from the grower
and he sells it to the man who eats it.
The above is the truth, tha n-)inl. tmtii r,A nti.;n 1...4. iu. i n -r. -

what J?Vank U Smith wants you to know and it is just what he would testify

is a better thing to give each day to the people of your city a supply of good
