FROM ALBANY TO NEW
YORK BY AERoPLANE

New York, May 31.-Glenn H. Cur
tiss flew from Albany to New York
City in an aeroplane Sunday, winning
the $4,000 prize offered by the New
York World.
He covered the distance of 137 miles
in two hours and thirty-two minutes,
and came to earth as calmly and as
lightly as pigeon. His average
speed for the distance .06 miles an
hour surpasses any other record
made by aeroplane in long distance
flight, and in it's entirety, his feat
perhaps eclipses anything man has at
tempted in heayiar-than-air machine.
The start was made from Albany at
1903 Sunday morning under weather
conditions as nearly perfect as the
most fastidious aviator could demand
One hour and twenty-three minutes
later he had made his stopping place
near Poughkeepsie, where there was
an hours intermission. Resuming his
fight at 1926 he sped southwark, and
landed within the boundary OF Man
haitian island at 1885.
Speed Record Gerat.
Paulhan's flight from London to
Manchester, 1876 miles, exceeded the
Curtiss feat of Sunday in distance
but not in speed and danger. The
Frenchman's average was 44.S miles
an hour and below him lay English
meadowlands Curtiss followed the
winding course Of the historic Hudson
with jutting headlands, wooded slopes
and treacherous palisades. He swung
high over the great bridge at Pough
keepsie, dipped at times within fifty
feet OF the rivers broad surface, and
jockeyed like q falcon at the turns.
Only once did his craft show signs
Of rebellion. This was on Storm
King, near West Point. when, at q
height of nearly 1000 feet. treach
erous gust struck his planes. The ma
chine dropped forty feet and tilted
lperflously. but Curtiss kept his head
and by adroit manipulation restored
the equilibrium Of the nan-made bird

SUP RENE COURT
SAYS NO
LAKE WASHINGTON CANAL AS.
sEssMENT is DECLARED
NOT VALID.
Government, Il Claims, Has Not De.
cIared Intention to Father the
scheme-UntiI Such Definite Action
Is Taken, Court Says, No Assess.
ment Can BE Collected.

Olympia, May 31.-The supreme
court Saturday knocked out the Lake
Washington canal project on the
ground that the national government
has never disclosed its intention to
build the canal. Citizens of Seattle
expended $325,OOO in purchasing the
right-of-way for ditch, and the state,
in 1907, decided shore lands near Bal
lard to the government for the pur-
pose. Suit was brought in the supreme
court on an appeal from the superior
court in King county to force the coun-
ty commissioners to extend the assess
ment roll to raise $1,O75,O00 as part
Of the $3,000,O00 Improvement. JUS
tees Gose and Grow dissented from
the majority decision.
Every federal congress since the
early sos has been asked to appro-
pirate money for the construction OF
the canal and number Of plans have
been started from time to time.
The state legislature at one time
passed an act to allow counties to
contribute funds direct to the construc.
ton, but this was later held void by
the courts. Later another act was
passed providing that, when the gov
eminent recognized the canal, spe-
cial commission might levy an assess
ment on property benefited to raise
money to pay cost of the work. After
King county had spent one-third of a
million dollars in buying right of way
which it decided to the United States,
and after the state had decided the tide
lands proposed to be crossed by the
ditch also to Uncle Sam, and after
the special commission had fixed the
assessment, the King county commits
sioners, on advice of their attorneys,
held the assessment void on the con-
tention that it was not actually gov
eminent canal, and until it was form
ally recognized under strict reading
Of the legislative act, the assessment
could not be made. #
Judge Thomas Burke then brought
action in the King county superior
court and was successful in securing
writ OF mandate to compel the com
missioners to approve the assessment.
This writ the supreme court orders set
aside and the case is dismissed as
without merit The assessment is
void, the court says, and it adds:
I'VE fail to find any act or declara-
ton by the national government which
discloses any intention or proposal on
the part of the government to con-
struct or operate this canal, now or
within a reasonable time in the fu-
ture, or at all"

For Sheriff.

The candidates for Sheriff on
the Republican and Democratic
tickets should be thoroughly ex-
amined by every voter, and as
nearly as possible, the best men
should be chosen at the primaries
to be held in Sept.
You all know that the Office of
Sheriff is an important one, and
the fitness of the man who wins
concerns every individual of the
county, and even of the state.
Therefore we war; you to con.
slder your vote as great a factor
in the selection of the right man
as any body else's vote. Do not
sell your vote for any price. You
cannot afford it.
We do not feel it our duty. nor
do we feel competent. 10 advise
you which Of the several Repuo-
ican candidates is the fitlest at
this date, but later on. Wnen we
shall have talked with them and
ascerlained their policies. we shall
without hesitation, and with rea
son express our opinion. the quail
ifications of the man we think the
most fit.
In the first place we want a
man after the fashion of b. H.

nize all races ard classes We
are entitled to one or two colored
deputy sheri@ IS and one or two
colored men in the Court House.

helped them land safe ashore.
