Address by Son-ln-I.aw of Great

ST MARK WOODRrlT.
GOLDENDALE. Wuh, Oct. 14
(Staff correspondence.) Intermingling
a defense of State Highway Comrali
Inner Bowlby. an attack upon the poli
tician of the state and an assault upon
the railroads with his address on the
subject of "Good Roads." Samuel Hill
today aroused the Southwestern Wash
ington Development Association In ses
sion here, to a frenzy of enthusiasm.
As president of the State Good Roads
Association. Mr. Hill, a eon-ln-law of
James J. Hill, repudiated the charge
recently made against State Highway
Commissioner Bowlby, The latter Is
accused of contracting bills far In ex
cess of the appropriations for that pur
pose and to have so mismanaged high
way construction and the convict labor
camps as to force the administration
of Governor Hay to repudiate some of
the Indebtedness.
Charges Laid at Snow't Door.
Mr. Hill openly declared that the
charges should be laid at the door of
Joseph Snow, predecessor of Mr. Bowl
by. whom Hill accused of having been
bought by the Milwaukee Railroad
when the latter located JU rtght-of-way
through tho state. Mr. Hill said
Snow had expended I34.00O of the road
funds needlessly In the making of sur
veys on the right-of-way and parallel
roads. .
The speaker said that when the present
commissioner attempted to Investigate
the scandal, which he believed to exlet
Seattle and Olympla politicians who had
oeen barred from participating in any
of the roads' funds through running up
expense bills and securing appointments
on commissions, had retaliated by endea
voring to attack the record of Bowlby.
Railroads Aro Attacked.
Switching to the railroads, Mr. Hill ac
cused the Great Northern, the Northern
Pactfle and the Harriman lines of retard
ing the development of Oregon and
Washington through the centralisation
of their management In the hands of un
eympathetlo Easterners, and declared
that the two states must enlarge the
powers of their Railroad Commissioners
or take hold of the management of rail
road development themselves.
He declared that there was av general
feeling of unrest among the people, called
Insurgency, which has Its chief cause In
tho belief that they wore not receiving
a fair deal from the railroads and other
corpora t Ion
Instance Is Given.
As an Instance. Mr. Hill pointed out
the fact that Goldendale. Lyle and
White Salmon could not ship a parcel
of goods to Hood River without the
railroads hauling It to Portland, al
though a ferry existed between White
Salmon and the Oregon town. The
Great Northern was accused of an at
tempt to grab the ground over which
the proposed highway of the Columbia
has been surveyed and which la Intend
ed as the route of the wagon road
from Spokane to Vancouver.
Applause Greets HHL.
Urging that good roads were not only
humanitarian In relieving the loneliness
i and Isolation of the homes now be
I n AnttA all over Washington, but
a necessity In order that the farmer
and fruit grower might reach a mar
ket for their wares. Mr. Hill closed
amid a remarkable demonstration of
applause.
Among the reforms recommended by
Mr. Hill was the establishment of a
good roads fund which should be as
sacred as the school funds of the state
and an amendment of the law sending
paroled convicts to the good road con
struction camps where they may earn
a sum of money for use at the end of
their paroles.
Portland First Discoverer.
Major S. A. Huntington, of Tacoma
Chamber of Commerce, delivered an his
torical address on the settlement of
Southwestern Washington and was fol
lowed by C C. Chapman, of the Port
land Commercial Club, who took advant
age pf the situation humorously to re
mind Taooms and Seattle delegates that
there had been a second discovery of the
district, the first being by Portland,
which was aiding In lus settlement In
development, and the second by the
Washington cities.
Mr. Chapman pledged that Portland
would continue to recognise the com
munity Interests of Southwest Washing
ton and Oregon.
That the meeting which closed tonight
is destined to be most fruitful. Is in
dicated by the determination of the offl-

Aviator Is Unhurt.
WASHINGTON, Oct 14. Claude Gra
ham White, the English aviator, today
stonned at the White House door In his
aeroplane after a flight of about six
mllH.
He landed where the slightest deviation
from the course would have impaled him
on the spikes of an iron fence at his
right or smashed him against granite
walls at his left. Admiral Dewey was on
the spot to extend congratulations.
An hour later White ascended from the
spot where he had landed and returned
to his starting point, the Bennlngs race
track, without mishap.
Rapid Flight Made.
White started shortly after 11 A. M.
and the flight to the White House oc
cupied only ten minutes. Having paid a
formal call upon Brigadier-General Allen,
chief signal officer of the Army, who
has charge of all aeronautic work of
that service. White took luncheon with
officers of the Army and Navy.
Later in the day, while giving an exhi
bition flight at Bennlngs. White met witn
an accident. He had gone up 200 feet
when a pipe between his motor and his,
gasoline tank became detached. The
motor stopped and the aviator was com
pelled to glide to the ground. As he de
scended a breeze caught the biplane and
tilted It so that the left bottom plane
struck the ground and the framework
was badly broken. White was not In
jured. ,
Monoplane Is Swerved by Wind.
An hour later, when starting an exhi
bition flight In his Blerlot monoplane,
the breeze caught It and swerved It Into
a fence. It then dashed across the race
track and through the fence on the other
side, shooting off 200 yards Into a field.
White was badly shaken up.
Far over the city, the flying machine
was first sighted. It passed over the
buildings at a height of about S00 feet
The aviator approached the Washington
monument and then changed his course
to circle the White House and War De
partment In order to make a good land
ing in the narrow street.
After lunch with Army" and Navy offi
cers, Mr. White ascended from the nar
row' street and sailed away toward the
Washington monument and back to Ben

difficult feat than the one Mr. White
performed In alighting on his arrival.

VIOLENT ERUPTION".
Revenue Cutter Driven Off by Fall
of Ashes Water of Lake on
Island Boiling.
i SEWARD, Alaska, Oct. 14. The fam
ous Bogoslov, In the Aleutian Islands,
Is in more violent eruption than ever
before, according to a report brought
from the West by the revenue cutter
Tahoma, which arrived today. Smoke
and ashes are rl.-ing a mile and a half
above the crater, according to trlangu
latlons made by the Tahoma's officers.
Flames burst from the cone. Lava
Is flowing down the sides and huge
boulders are thrown high Into ths air.
A lake In the center of one of the
Bogoslov iJlands Is boiling and dense
clouds of steam rise from the caldron.
The Island was formerly a renduxvous
for uncounted thousands of sea birds,
all of which probably were killed. Not
a live bird was visible from the Taho
ma, but great numbers of dead ones
floated in the sea.
The Tahoma anchored 10 miles from
the volcano, not daring to a.-proach
nearer, the cutter's deck being covered
with hot ashes even where she lay. The
officers spent a whole day in viewing
the magnificent spectacle of the trou
bled mountain and in making photo,
graphs.
While bound to Attu Island early in
September the Tahoma's officers noted
recent remarkable changes In the topo
graphy of the Bogoslov group, a new
Island having lifted Its head where
deep water formerly had been and
other islands having diminished.
A party of volunteers under Lieut
enant R. R. Waesche asked to be per
mitted to land on the Islands and make
observations until the cutter's south
ward trip In October, but Chief Engi
neer Bryan, who knows the freaks of
Bogoslov, warned the men of the peril
of their undertaking, and the proposed
expedition was abandoned. If the ex
plorers had remained on the islands
they must have perished, for when the
Tahoma returned the chief peak was
ablaze and the other Islands In com
motion. HARVARD MAN ON WARSHIP
