Send us the name and address of any one interested In the State for Oregon literature. WM. McMlRRAV General Passenger Agent Portland, Ore. rrfTlHN (ATAL0G saw m - v vw I npr-. n PRESIDENTIAL TRAIN STOPS On Monday last at New York City during the last day of the Hudson Fulton celebration Wilbur Wright defied the air. the water, and the land in a marvelous filKht over the numberless craft in New York har bor and the North River. Starting at 9:56, the aviator headed in the wind and flew over ferryboats, yachts, steamers and other craft in the harbor. Flying high, Mr. Wright went up me .-sort li itiver. over the fleet of battleships and on, past Grant's tomb, encircling the British cruiser Argyle. Returning at faster speed with the wind, he came back over the water and landed at his starting point. He had been gone for 33 minutes and 33 seconds, making one of the most perilous trips ever attempted, i he distance of the flight was estim ated at 20 niilc. "The machine responded In fine shape." said Mr. Wright, as he climb ed out through the network of wires of the machine at the aerodrome on Governors Island. "The motor worked fine. I started about 75 feet above the water, but kept climb ing higher until I was about 200 feet or 300 feet high. The air currents sent up by the funnels of the ferry boats interfered somewhat and I came down nearer the water. "I could hear the cheers of the sailors on the warships," continued Mr. Wright, as the enthusiastic group of army officers and news papermen that had awaited his re turn grasped his hand. "The wind was blowing about 10 miles an hour and I had to head in a little toward the east, Instead of pointing the machine straight up the river. "The flight fulfils every condition of my contract," added the aviator, in response to inquiries as to further demonstrations, "but if the favorable weather conditions continue this afternoon I may make another flight. As soon as possible I shall leave for Washington to train the army officers." As the aeroplane approached the city, flying steadily, but bucking the wind, the roofs of all the buildings became crowded and pleasure craft started up the river In an effort to keep up with the machine that flew above them. They were soon com pelled to give up th" chase, for Wright outstripped the fastest of them. As the machine pushed into the breeze, occasionally dipping slightly as though caught, by a downward trend of the air, and then again was lifted suddenly, the mastery of the aviator was strongly Impressed on the spectators. The exact distance In a straight line from Governor's Island to the foot of West One Hundred and Thirtieth street, which marked the northernmost point of Wright's flight, Is !Vi miles. This would nmk his flight, If it had been in a straight line, one of lSVi miles. Counting curves and the circle at the start. Mr. Wright estimates that hi! covered more than 20 miles.

The train bearing President Taft and party reached Grants Pass at 5:10 Monday morning and It re mained in the yard only long enough to cut off the helper which came over the mountains with it from West Fork. There was a stop of not more than two minutes. The few persons around the depot scarcely noticed either the arrival or depart ure. The brass mountings around the rear end of tho Presidential car were the only noticeable features to show that it was not an ordinary passenger train. There Is nothing striking or un usual in the external appearance of President Taft's special train, made up from cars belonging to the New York Central Lines, In addition to two cars from the Northern Pacific. There are six cars in all told, and to see the train passing one would easily mistake it for an ordinary passenger train, with the exception that the two private cars, with their brass railings at the entrances, vary a little from the ordinary' Pullman cars. The first car, numbered 1998, Is an om-iashloneit arrair witn small windows. It has been converted In to n general storage room, where the provisions of the train are kept . Fol lowing this Is car No. 4, the private iir of H. C. Nutt, general manager of the West End Division of the Northern Pacific, and the back of this is car No. 11, a plain-looking coach known as the private car of General Manager Slade of the North ern Pacific Railroad Company, who, however, was not with the Presiden tial party. In this car were railroad officials and Secret Service men, and Senator John L. Wilson, of Washington. Next came the baggage car, which also served as a sleeping and living place for some of the railroad men, Including Garrlt Fort, assistant vice- president of the New York Central lines, who had official charge of the train. In this car were scores of band boxes, suit cases and a few trunks, which included some of the President's baggage. llehlnd the baggage car Is tU coach occupied by Secret Service men and a few others affiliated with the Presidential party. Last In the train Is the President's car, the "Mayflower," which is es pecially fitted as the President's traveling home. It Is luxuriously furnished and contains five state rooms. Three of these have upper and lower berths, while the other two, one of which Is reserved for the President, contain polished brass bedsteads. The President's stateroom Is near the rear of the enr, but next to the extreme end is an observation com partment, where the President Is served his meals and where he Is seated much of his time while the train is in motion, observing the scenery through which the train Is TleonIy Bating PowderW MMfTW madfrom f1 Grape , . y Cream of Tartar jKtew.m li PLi h m mm jmrm- I the side pocket of their snort double breasted coats. In this concealed hand each fingers a revolver ready for Immediate use. There Is a general belief that the President of the United States, tra veling In a Bpeclal train, Is carried about the country free of charge by the various railroad companies. This is wrong In regard to President Taft, although years ago the . President was always the guest of the ratlroad companies when traveling long dis tances. The President and his party must pay their fares like other people. The Interstate Commerce law pre vents anyone from getting free fare between states, and the President Is no exception to this rule. The president buys a ticket for the whole party, 36 In number, Just the same as the manager of a thea trical company does. The ticket for the Southern Pacific was pur chased in Portland and it carried the party to San Francisco. University of Oregon, Eugene, Or, Oct. 1.

The two Injured men were brought to Peoria and tak en to a hospital In an unconscious condition and so far have not been sufficiently revived to talk of the accident. Tho remains of William Armstrong, who was driving the auto at the time of tho accident, were held by the coroner of Rurenu county who will hold an Inquest. The party left Chicago after pur chasing the machine In which they were riding and It appears that a corn field prevented them from see ing the on-rushlng train at tho fatal crossing.
