TRIBUTE TO DR.. S. ?. LANGLEY
PRESENT STATE OF AVIATION
DUE TO HIS EFFORTS.
Encomium of the Board of Ordnance
and Fertilization in It's Report
of the Fort Myer Tests.

According to the board of ordnance and
fertilization, in it's annual report to the
Secretary of War. the success of the
tests of the Wright brothers aeroplane at
Fort Myer last summer has fully justified
the allotments of $4,000 made by the
board for the purchase of such devices.
The successful outcome of these tests"
says the report. '.justifies belief in the
practicibility of the aeroplane as a useful
military adjunct. 1t is not asserted that
the aeroplane as furnished under the con-
tract with the Wright brothers will rev.
olutionize our present methods of warfare
but as a result of the very rapid de-
vclopment of the art of aviation in the
past year it has been demonstrated that
in It's present form, the aerOplane is
practicable for certain purposes of OBJ
Servation and reconnaissance
1T is undoubtedly true that the develop
ment of the gas engine to its present high
state OF efficiency is largely responsible
for the practical achievements of the
past year in aerodromics, but the board
from its early and long-continued interest
and support in the development of the
science, feels itself in position to as
sert that to Samuel p. Langley and his
pioneer efforts in the establishment of the
basic principles of the art is due the
present state of mechanical flight. His
tory will accord to DR.. Langley his place
in the development of the science, and
this late expression of the boards opin-
ion is but a Scant need of justice to
distinguished scientist who was very
sensitive to the ridicule and abuse heaped
upon his efforts in his latter days
The report of the board is signed by
Gen. J. r. Bell, Gen. William Crozer,
Gen. Arthur Murray, Gen. w. l.. Mar
shall. Col NJ. M. Macomb, Lieut.. Col. E.
NJ. Weaver and Capt. S. A. Cheney. all
of the army. During the past year the
board made allotments amounting to $6S.-
2SS, leaving a balance on hand of $131 ,945
available for general experimental pur-
poses. An estimate of $4,000 is submit
ted for the ensuing year.

Olympia, Feb. 2.-The most inter-
esting event at the state capital the
past week was the Inauguration OF
Governor Cosgrove. The ceremony
was dramatic and pathetic, as the
governor, thin and shrunken in APP
pearance, stood erect for few min
utes and addressed the joint COM
mittee, the feelings of everyone was
stirred. Governor COsgrOve. accom-
panied by Mrs. Cosgrove. left Olym-
pia Friday for Paso Robes. Cal,
where he will remain until his
health will permit him assuming the
duties of his Office.
The official house-warming Of the
governors mansion was held Thurs
day night. The guests included the
state senators and representatives.
The long receiving line was headed
by Governor and Mrs. Mead, Lieu
tenant Governor and Mrs. Hay, the
mayor of Olympia, Mitchell Harris
and wife, the judges of the supreme
court and their wives and the state
administration and their ladies and
prominent Olympia citizens. The re-
ception was an especially brilliant
affair and there were many praises
extended to the good taste shown by
the building commission. Regrets
that there is no governor to occupy
the mansion were heard on all sides.
Sunday for Local Option.
The local option fight was inten-
sified by the participation Of Evan
gelist Billy Sunday. Through the
agency of Senator Paulhamus, Of
Pierce county, and Senator Hutchin-
son of Spokane. Sunday was brought
into the local option fight. Numer-
Gus delegations are here to present
arguments before the Judiciary COM
mittee OF the house. 1t is possible
that the local option issue will be
settled this week.
Three house supporters Of the
anti-salOOn league local option bill
claim to have had pet appropriations
held over them as a club to swing
them to the other side on the local
option issue. They say they have
been informed tina their usefulness
has ended and that they might as

on the question.
When Speaker Meigs was in

made, he announced his determina-
ton to probe the matter thoroughly.
