IN Great FLIGHT
Wilbur Wright Scars Over New
York Harbor.
IN AIR OVER HALF An HOUR
Passes Above Number|ess Craft
Anchored in Port.

New York, Oct. 4.-Wilbur Wright,
the aeroplanist, defied the air, the
water and the land in a marvellous
fight over the numberless craft in
New York harbor and the North river.
Starting at 1856 and flying high Mr..
Wright went up the North river, over
the fleet of battleships and on past
Grants 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 in the most matter OF
fact way possible. He had been gone
for 33 minutes and 80 seconds, max.
ing one of the most perilous trips ever
attempted. The distance of the flight
was estimated at fifteen miles.
AS the aeroplane approached the
city, flying steadily but bucking the
wind, the roofs of all the buildings be
came crowded and pleasure craft
started up the river in an effort to
keep up with the remarkable craft
that flew above them. They were soon
compelled to give up the chase, for
Wright outstripped the fastest OF
them.
AS the machine pushed into the
breeze, dipping slightly occasionally
as though caught by downward trend
of the air, and then again was lifted
suddenly, apparently striking dis
turbing air current, the absolute mas.
terry of the aviator was strongly i'm.
pressed on the spectators.

TAFT'S LONG TRIP
Journeys From Portland, Ore,
to Sacramento, CAL
AGAIN TALKS CONSERVATION
Legislation Necessary to Garry
Out Roosevelt Policies.

Sacramento. CAL, Oct. 5.-After
making one of the longest jumps of
his trip and travelling for twenty-five
hours through Oregon and the north.
ern half of California, President Taft
arrived here. to remain until morn
ing, when he proceeds to Oakland and
San Francisco.
MIR. Taft was entertained at dinner,
was taken for an automobile ride
through the city, to be cheered all
along the route, and made an address
in the state capitol grounds.
The president selected for the prin-
cipal feature of his speech the con-
servation of natural resources, in
which he declared anew that before
many of the Roosevelt policies of con-
servation can be carried into effect
confirmatory and enabling legislation
must be secured and he pledged him
self to use all his lower to induce
congress to pass the laws necessary,
Having already made number of
set speeches covering the various sub.
jects he expects to incorporate in his
annual message to congress, the pres
ident during the rest OF his toNr will
discuss in more or less detail many
of the phases of the larger questions,
for he believes that after all the de-
tails count more thar mere general
declaration of policy.
While to the average mind the
thought Of day and night of unin-
terrupted travel suggests discomfort
and fatigue, the twenty-five hours be
tween Portland and Sacramento
proved to be a period of zeal rest and
enjoyment for the president. The
cnly stops made on the way were at
division points-stops necessary to
the operation of the train. There were
crowds at each of these places and
the president appeared on the rear
| platform of his car to shake hands OF
to make few informal remarks.

mont newspaper, in commenting on
the latter record, says:
"The railway company has, through

Of profanity on the part of its patrons
but all that doesn't count in an in.
