Delayed several huors in San Fran cisco, Charles K. Hamilton, the aviator. yesterday telegraphed D. O. Lively, manager of the aviation meet, which wlil begin here next Saturday, that he win not reach Portland until 2:30 MAKE -TRIALS DURING AVIATION OWNED BY E. HENRY WEMME. cVX fi o'clock this afternoon. Hamilton was expected here ' last evening, according 10 nis announced schedule, from Doug las. Ariz., which place he left last Fri day. Hamilton will be accompanied by iour assistants, and will bring, with him two Curtiss biplanes, both of which he will fly during the meet. The ma chines have been taken apart and are shipped as double first-class express. The combined weight of the two Is 11U pounds. The aeroplanes will be unloaded this afternoon and taken to the grounds of the Portland Fair and Livestock Asso ciation, formerly known as the Coun try Club. These grounds are between the Rose City Park extension of the East Ankeny carllne and the O. R. & N. main track. They extend half a mile east of East Sixty-second street. The impression Is erorneous that the meet will be held at the Lewis and Clark Fair grounds. Biplane and. Auto to Race. The machines will be set up Friday and everything will be put in readi ness for the initial flight at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon, i-iamilton will not make a flight prior to that time. How ever, he will be conducted to the grounds by the aviation committee In an automobile immediately upon his arrival here, and will study the topo graphical conditions as well as the ar rangement of the racecourse over which the numerous flights will be made. Probably one of the most spectacular races Ik the history of speed contests will be 'conducted on this course. It will be between Hamilton in his Curtiss bi plane and a Bulck automobile with a 30-horsepower engine, driven by Norman De Vaux, of the Northwest Bulck Com pany. A cash prize of $100 has been of fered by the Portland Aeronautic Club to the winner of the race. Owing to the muddy condition of the track, the best speed of the automobile probably will not be obtained. De Vaux yesterday ex pressed confidence in his ability to win the race. On the other hand, Hamilfon Is equally confident of winning. In a telegram received, at aviation headquar ters in the Oregon Hotel yesterday he makes the statement that he expects to have little difficulty in winning the race and the purse. A rising barometer .yesterday gave promise of fair weather during the meet. This has been a point of anxiety with the management, which is fearful lest a wrong Impression may be held concern ing the effect of the weather on ability to fly. Rain Will Not Prevent Flights. No matter whether It is raining or the sun is shining, Hamilton can and Is pledged to make the flights each day. The fact that an . aeroplane can fly in almost any kind of weather, excepting where the wind is so high and fickle in its changes as to make it too hazardous. Is one of the most remarkable features of the new conqueror of the air. Rain, no matter how hard the downpour, does not interfere with flying an aeroplane and Hamilton has promised that it shall make no difference here. With this understanding, -hundreds 01 tickets are already being sold. Society is evidencing an unusual interest In the new game, that promises with time to become one of Its fixed fads. Only -a few of the boxes' remain, they having been sold at $20 each. Women even more than men are interested In aviation, as is shown by inquiries at headquarters. No fewer than a dozen soclejy women have made application to Manager Lively to be allowed a ride with Hamilton on one of htfs flights. These requests will be referred to the aviator upon his arrival here today. The Curtiss biplane, owned by E. Henry Wemme arrived here by express from Seattle Tuesday, where it had been on exhibition 10 days for the benefit of the Portland-Mt. Hood road fund- It was removed to the Country Club grounds and the work of putting the intricate pieces together was be gun. Walter E. Donnelly, a student of aviation and a mechanic, is in charge. Donnelly will be one of the drivers of the machine. Other drivers . will be Forest Smithson, the Portland track athlete, and Jack Goldman, a young English automobile racing driver. - Governor Benson to Attend.

Just now aviation is a leading topic of con versation and discussion. Hamilton will conduct several maneuvers with his machine for the benefit of General Maus and they likewise will be of in terest to the spectators in general. Using a bag of sand, as he would a bomb In case of war, he will attempt to drop it within five feet of an object on the ground. "If this can be accomplished.' say ex-' perts, "all the navies and fortresses In the world will become so much scrap iron and will form inviting objects for demolition and slaughter." Provided uie weather is fair, record breaking crowds are expected. Every arangement Is being made to handle the crowds. Beginning at noon each day, two hours before the events, the O. R. & N. will provide a 10-mlnute service' to the grounds. This is in addi tion to the preparations being made by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company.

M0KY1S PROVIDED Senate Passes Bill for Irriga tion Certificates. CLAY OPPOSES PRINCIPLE Prediction Made ' That Annual Ap propriation for Irrigation Work . in Time Will Reach Fifty or Sixty Millions. WASHINGTON. March 2. After a brief discussion the Senate today passed the bill authorizing the issuance of $30,000,000 worth of certificates of indebtedness for the completion of irrigation projects already under way. The bill is intended to supply enough money to finish these works and it Is contemplated that the certificates shall be retired by money derived from the sale of lands redeemed by the Improvements. Clay of Georgia made a speech In op position to the principle, involved, rather than against the bill itself. He predicted that the time would come when a direct annual appropriation of $50,000,000 or $60,000,000 would be necessary to carry on the reclamation work. He entered Into a general discussion of Gov ernment expenditures, saying that he considered as useless all the efforts' made to reduce the vast sum. 'These investigations by Commissions Invariably cost more than they save," he asserted. Clay- reerred to Aldrich's statement that if he were running the Government he could reduce expenditures $300,000,000. "If!" interjected Mr. Bailey who sat at Mr. Clay's side. "He is running it now and he ought to accomplish There was no division on the reclama tion bill vote. BEXEFIT TO OREGON DOUBTFUL State May Not Get Full Share in Ir rigation Issue. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, March 2. Unless Secretary Bal linger can be persuaded to approve the .extension of the Umatilla irrigation proj ect. Representative Ellis is fearful that Oregon will receive scant benefit under the bill which passed the Senate today, authorizing the loan of $30,000,000 to the reclamation fund to complete projects now under construction. In view of the fact that the entire Up per Klamath project was abandoned re cently, there is little hope of getting any money for that enterprise, and Umatilla is the only other Oregon project eligible to receive benefits under the terms of the bill, as the money can be used only on projects now under construction, --vln his estimates. Secretary Ballinger set aside only $50,000 for Umatilla. To complete the extension of this project by building a high-line canal will cost about $2,500,000, and Mr. Ellis will urge the Sec retary to approve this extension and to allot sufficient money from the $30,000,000 to carry the extension through to com- OF FRANCE CORSETS AND MADELEINE CORSETS.

REVIEW OF HAZING ASKED Mrs. Sutton Presses for Indictment of Naval Officers. WASHINGTON, March 2. Henry E. Davis, counsel for Mrs. Rosa B. Sutton, is anxious that some committee of Con gress, preferably the naval committee, shall review the evidence taken before the naval court of inquiry that met at Annapolis last Summer to examine into the death of Lieutenant James N. Sut ton, of the Marine Corps. He is not asking Congress to hold an entirely new Inquiry and examine witnesses, but merely to go over the evidence al ready of record, and on that review base an opinion, for he maintains that such review will result in the finding that young Sutton was killed by some of his companions. If such a review and report can be secured, Davis is of the opinion that the grand jury In Maryland will then take up the case and return Indict ments, thus carrying the case into the courts for a final hearing and verdict. It is apparent from Mrs. Sutton's latest moves that she is anxious to have the -officers, implicated In the Sutton af fair dismissed from the service, and if possible have some or all of them fur ther punished. In the event the courts hold them in any way responsible for her son's death. Vancouver Councilman Sues on Note. VANCOUVER,' Wash., March 2. (Spe cial.)

We are doing it this week, and believe it is the best plan, as you get just what you pay for, whether high or medium grade. NEW PIANOS "We find that pianos that usually sell for $250 only bring about $218 in this way, and the $300 makes about $238., This is quite a saving. Other pianos range according to grade and weight, but in all cases fall way below the usual selling price. SECOND-HAND PIANOS We have some very fine ones at 10 and 15 cents a pound, which, according to weight, run from $45 to $80, and are sold on easy pay ments of $5 per month. These we will take back at any time at the price paid in exchange for new ones. Call in and see what a nice piano you can get for a small amount by buying it by the pound.

They say that equal taxation will solve the problem. William F.
