In the ftve-tnlnuta excursion the aviator labored under most unusual conditions. Ilia rudder wire Jammed In .a pully shortly after tha launctmig and he was forced to make a wlda detour over Kose City far a to the south, steering solely by tba Hi tins" planes on the ends of tha frame. His greatest height was 70it feat and tha average 'about 4"0 feet. Tha aerial matinee, wae staged pri vately for tha benefit of the news papermen and a few friends of tha Mannings, but public flights will prob ably be arranged for Sunday, wben a large crowd la expected to Journey to tr.e Country Club park. Walsh goes to Seattle the second week In Juna and may possibly fill an engagement at Taeoma In tha Interim. Tha Mannings may also give an aviation meet at tha Country Club during the Koaa Festival, In opposition to the Curtlss meat, giv ing Portland residents ample oppor tunity to watch tha air maneuvering In all Its phases. Walsh's first two flights yeaterday were beautiful, but tha paawenger-ear-rlrg experiment did not prove ao prof itable with lha en a I nee geared at under a beraapower. The writer was ae lected aa WaistTa companion and thor oughly enjoyed tha unusual voyage around the field, although 0 feet waa tha maximum height reached on account of the Inability of tha machine to rtsa above tha puffy wind that swept aver the brow of cue bill on tba north alda af the park. Hying IJke AutoiuoblUtts;. The sensation of aeroplanlng la much like automoblilng with tha bumps and joita left out. The 40-foot etretch of canvass mounted gracefully Into tba air after skimming along the ground for liv feet, and for the next few seconds the grass faded away Into ona green kaleidoscope, while an ordinary bull pup assumed Dast-hund proportions Judged from the wfclxalng plana. Tha stops w.re all made safely and without per ceptible Jar In the tall clover In tha enter of the ta!f-mw track. Aviator J. IX leprtea. also employed br the Pactflo Aviation Company, was present when Walsh alighted after bla rudder became Jammed and declared that this same wire Jamming caused Ms accident at Victoria on April 17. Hereafter the rudder wlree will make tre curve through tubing Instead of wire pulleys. "We have spent approximately ft. so tn the airship business In Is months and are Jiist now getting In shape to make things hum." declared President Manning later In the day. "Walsh la one of tha greatest aviators of the day. We may Invade Alaska this Summer for thrre exhlbttlona as airsblpa are new In the norm country."

Published Letter of S. J. Claridg-e Draws Fire of Representative and He Comes Back Strong. WASHINGTON. May 22. (Special.) "I do not know 8. J. darldge, and his name doea not appear in tie Portland city directory." declared Representative Lat ferty today when shown the Clarldge fetter in The Oregonian of May 16. "A man of hla evident consequence In the community would have a cause of action against R. L. Polk & Co. for over looking him In making up a list of Port land residents. Claridge criticises me for telling the public what my first name Is. and says It Is silly and childish. Yet those things axe sometimes of interest. At this moment I am wondering: whether the initials of Mr. Clarldge atand for 'Sweet Jaaamlne' or 'Silly Jim;' either would be appropriate. "Mr. Clarldge feels that the man "working In hi garden" would have mada a better Congressman than my self. He voted for me. he says, and now. after leas than two months of my serv ice, he la disappointed and chagrined, all because I wrote tha letter about my name. Doubtless the gardener would do aa well or bettor than myself, for he at least has the virtue of Industry, but how fortunate we would be If we could only get a man Ilka Mr. Claridge himself to accept the Job. Then tha Second Oregon District would have a real statesman. If Mr. Clarldge can be persuaded to make the sacrifice to 'accept the Job I will gladly resign so that ha may be Immediately appointed. To strike a more serious vein for Just a moment, it la very evident that the Clarldge letter la inspired by someone having an ax to a;rind.

If I fall to make good here my first two years it will bo easy enough for the votera to leave me at home at the next election. The idea that this man Claridge voted for me be cause I waa a progresslv and is now disappointed on account of an Insignifi cant letter upon in Important subject, is preposterous and absurd. 'In the six weeks that I have been a member of the 62d Congress I have at tended to the correspondence amounting to an average of 50 letters per day. and have done a few other things besides. Have secured orders establishing postal savings banks at Astoria and La Grande; voted in the House for direct election of Senators, reciprocity with Canada, farmers' free list bill, campaign pub licity bill, and made speeches favoring two of thfcse measures. Have introduced bills for the following purposes: To en large powers of Interstate Commerce Commission, giving to that body power to fix rates of railroad, express, tele graph and telephone companies, based on physical valuations, and also author izing the Commission to fix prices to be charged for commodities when the out put and sale thereof la controlled by an absolute monopoly. "A bill conveying the forest reserves In trust to tha states, subject to revoca tion at any time when a state fails to make good. A bill enlarging the scope of tha sao-acre homestead act, making it apply to the east two-thirds of the State of Oregon. A bill returning to Oregon some 9.00u,000 due her for irri gation. bill requiring that greater liberality be shown to settlers on the publio domain. A bill requiring that the 2,300 000 acres of unsold railroad lands in Oregon ahall be disposed of to actual settlers, provided the Government suit prevails. Besides 1 have Introduced a number of bills of a private character for commercial clubs and citizens. "If Mr. Clarldge la disappointed with this record of six weeks I am sorry, but I can't help it. I have done the best I know how. If I fail, let It go at that There is one in nearly evarv family, and - i 'uut itwr.- I?1'"' tills The Nation's Largest Dealers I think Mr. Clarldge. in hla greatness, should be more charitable. "A.
