Kohler '& Chase-
The Pianola Piano now at
Kohler & Chase secure the most coveted prize in the musical world the agency for
the Steinway Pianola Piano, the Weber Pianola Piano, the Steck Pianola Piano, the
Wheelock Pianola Piano, the Stuyvesant Pianola Piano, the Orchestrelle, the Vocalion.
I We count this the greatest triumph in our career of over 60
years to have gained the agency of the Pianola Piano, the recog
nized leader, the absolute standard among player pianos.
I The Pianola Piano has met with a greater success than any
previous musical instrument. It was the first 'player piano it
created the player piano industry. Before its coming, the ability
to play the piano was limited to a few,-but now the Pianola Piano
has brought the enjoyment of personally producing music to
hundreds of thousands of people.
CfThis is the epoch marking achievement of the Pianola Piano,
the instrument for which we have been appointed agents in the
entire Northwest.
Informal Pianola Concert

ence between playing on the 1911 Pianola Piano and the playing of a skilled pianist.

NECESSITY POINTED OUT
General Wood Has Law Drafted In
Which War Department Is to
Have Charge of Supplying
Experienced Airship Crevrs.
WASHINGTOX. Not. 7. Plans for an
aerial squadron will be presented to
Congress, the number of the air ma
chines to be provided being left by the
War Department to the lawmakers.
This was announced by Major-General-
Wood, chief of staff of the Army.
The necessity for more heavler-than-alr
machines Is held by Army authori
ties to be Imperative If the United
States Is to keep abreast of other pow
ers In the science of military aviation.
The training of officers In the hand
ling of air craft takes time and with
the Army's present facilities for prepa
ration, practically nothing ran be done
toward Increasing the efficiency of the
men of the corps. The Army now owns
only one machine.
The matter of providing; funds for an
aerial fleet will he put squarely up to
Congress. It is said, and tha necessity
for such an addition to the Army will
be emphasised. It is the hope of the
signal corps that a sufficient number
of machines will be authorized' so that
every Array post in the country will be
provided with one or more, that the
military may be trained In the use of
the aerial craft.
LATHAM TAKES 9S000 PRIZE
Aviator Flies Over Baltimore Sky
scrapers for Full Hour.
BALTIMORE. Nov. 7. Hubert La
tham today accomplished a flight of
nearly 25 miles, about half of It over
this city, establishing a new record for
over-city flights. v
The Incentive was a prize of $5000
offered by the Sun and the Evening
Ban. for a trip over a prescribed route.
Latham was to follow the course of tha
Pa taos co River to Fort Henry, thence
up the Inner harbor to and around the
Sun building, east to the city limits, a
mile northwest to Druid Hill Park,
down Charles street to Baltimore, and
then southwest to the aviation field.
There waa to be a short detour for
the benefit of Ross Wlnans. a wealthy
Invalid, who, unable to leave his home,
offered SS00 if Latham would fly within
his range of vision. All this Latham
accomplished. He varied his altitude
from 400 to 2000 feet, and had to con
tend with wind blowinfr from aeven to
IS miles an hour. He used his 50
horsepower Antoinette and was In the
air 62 minutes, making no stop after
leaving the field.
All the tall buildings In the down
town section were crowded by thou
sands to witness the flight. By noon,
every roof-top waa black with people.
At 12 o'clock, the whole city aeemed
to stop work. Some minutes later
word came that Latham had started.
Latham sailed straight for Fort Mc
Henry and when almost directly over
It turned, and, heading in a north
western' direction, steered for the
crowded skyscrapers of the down-town
district.
After circling the Eun building, he
continued on tha route designated. At
Calvert street he rose to 2000 feet and
performed a" series of evolutions for
the benefit of Mr. Wlnans.
Then he headed for the skyscraper
district again and, passing the high
buildings, wheeled westward and bore
away from the aviation field.
There were real competitiona at the
aviation field today. Here, again, Lath
am came to the front by winning first
In both the duration and distance con
tests. Count Jacques de Lesseps, In his
Blerlot. took second prize In the alti
tude and duration trials, and J. Arm
strong Drexel, In a Blerlot, won the first
prise for altitude. His record was 1S86
feet.
Latham took first duration prize with
a total of 7 minutes 31 seconds. De
Lesseps remaining aloft 30 minutes 42-4-6
seconds.
After flying In the "baby" Wright bi

tor.) I do not know and never have
spcten either to Jay Bowerman or
Oswald West, present candidates for
Governor; but this I do know, that
while I was vigorously fighting at
Salem In 1905 for the passage of- the
"Klllingsworth law," which entitles all
branch railroads in Oregon to have
compulsory traffic connections with
trunk or main lines. Jay Bowerman,
then a State Senator from Eastern
Oregon, voted and worked for that
Klllingsworth law. As Burns says,
"facts are cliiels that wlnna ding." and
surely this fact entitles Jay Bowerman
to some credit for the benefits which
have since accrued to Oregon from the
Killingsworth law. and conclusively
show Bowerman was opposed .to rail
road monopolies. WILLIAM REID.

To Friends of the
Broadway Bridge
v There appeared in The Oregonian yesterday, un
der the caption, "To Friends of the Broadway
Bridge," a paid advertisement over the signature of
J. L. Day, Chairman for the Republican Congres
sional Committee, stating,
"That I am furnishing the financial support of John
Manning's Congressional campaign." 4
Replying thereto I have to -say that I have not
spent a dollar for Mr. Manning's campaign in any
way, shape, manner or form; nojr have. I writ
ten a letter, made a speech or even attended -a
political meeting during this campaign. IS THIS
NOT CONTEMPTIBLE, TO TRY TO STAB MR.
MANNING OVER MY SHOULDER IN THE
"LAST MOMENTS OP THE CAMPAIGN?
Who is this J. L. Day? Is he the same J. L. Day
who was promoting fake prize fights here until John
Manning, when District Attorney, got after him? Is
this the same J. L. Day that the papers report, while
attending a Laffdrty meeting on the East Side, ex
pectorated in the eye of a Minister of the Gospel?
Is this J. L. Day, formerly known as Jack OT)ay,
following his master, Lafferty's, method of changing
his name? Are not Lafferty and the Broadway
bridge cause sinking to a pretty low level when they
depend on such a champion who has written himself
down as fit for the head of the class of Roosevelt's
Ananias Club?
