his belief that the senate would havt
opportunity to act on tho Cnnadiai
reciprocity agreement during th
coming week President Taft tonight
made a final appeal for its ratifica
tion, charging that tho lumber ant
print paper trusts are foremost n
opposition to it.
Before a great throng in Orchestra
hall, Taft, ns the guest of the AVcs!-
eru Economic soeiety declared bill it
passed nt all, would pass becouse tin
weight of public opinion favors it
and not because of the desire of tlu
senate to ratify it.
He suid: "I'm hopeful that the bil.
will pass tho senate for its actua'
operation will be so beneficial to both
countries that arguments against -adoption"
will be forgotten or will be
remembered only as exaggerated in
stances of perverted imagination.
The opposition comes from two class
es of business interests. Those win
control tho lumber supply and those
ongnged in tho manufacture of print
paper and of whom the largest manu
facturers own much of the spruet
wood supply of the United Stato
from which print paper is made. The
second class opposed to treaty are
thoso who claim to represent the far
mers and agricultural interests of
this country."

That of all of the beautiful val
leys and landscapes ho has scnfMiis
aerial charger soaring over, tho
Rogue River Valley is the most beau
tiful and that it will never bo seen
in all of its glories unless viewed from
the clouds, was the statement of
Avfator Eugene Ely Saturday even
ing after completing his series of
flights at Oak park in tho afternoon.
Mr. Ely did not hestitate to state
that no where has he viewed a more
favored laud, than this from tho
clouds and he has made flights in
the majority of the' states in the .un
ion. He did not stint his praise stat
ing that it was worth the time ami
trouble. of 'Roj-avintoc to inulAr a.trip
to tho Rogue River Valley. in, order
to fly above it and uoto its fields
and orchards garbed as they arc nt
this season of the year.
Mr. Ely stated further that it was
his belief that if aerial trips ever
become common as a means of trans
portation between cities that tho
routes will be Inid out with its great
u regard for scenic effect as are rail
ronds of today and this being tho
case that the Rogue River Valley will
bo on tho principal routes of travel
up and down tho const owing to its
grent beauty.
"I was really surprised when I
got up among the clouds this after
noon," he stated before leaving for
Salem last evening," to lenrn that
this was such a beautiful valley. Gen
erally I consider the earth ns a tnnt
ter of fact and something to bump
into if any thing goes wrong, but to
day I could not help but remark to
myself on the natural beauty of tho
scene. You will never know what a
beautiful valley you havo until vou
get lfiOO r 2000 feet above it and" sco
it stretched out below you for milos.
"Someday I believe that aerial
navigation will bo solved to such an
extent that regular trips will bo
made between cities currying passen
gers as are made today by trains.
These aerial routes will be laid, out
with as great n regard to Hoenery
ns nro tho present ones on laud and
you may ho sure that tho Roguo River
alley will always bo viewed by ships
sailing north and south just for its
boa 1113
Medford is a much larger city than
T thought until I sniled over it. Alio
ther remarkable fact I noticed in
connection with it was tho largo num
ber of new roofs. You piustf ha'vo
had a great deal of building going pu
here recently judging from tho look's
from above.
"It is very oasv for an aviator
who is accustomed to the nir lo viow
what ho is passing over. Of eourso
nt first tho aviator keeps closo watch
on his controls ns n man just learn
ing to drive an Automobile, but onca
getting accustomed to tho work you
havo plenty of timo to watch tho
earth.
'T would give a great deal to drtvo
a machine to Crater I.nko and view
tho natural wonder from 'tho sky.
Howovor it might bo that tno would
lose tho effect in viewing an attrac
tion of that kind. Someday in tho
dim fnr fiituro J may drive a ma
chine up there. U would luko about
an hour to mako tho trip if every,
thing went well,"
