(By United Press Leased Wire.)
PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. &C.
Charles X. Hamilton, the lero-
naut, has wired the Portland
Aeronaut club from Prescott,
Ariz., that he is on his way here
with two Curtiss bi-planes and
that he will be prepared to make
desperate effort to reach Mount
Hood. II Hamilton is successful
in circling the big peak, the club
will pay him $1,000, this amount
being in addition to the prizes
offered by the Portland Fair and
Livestock association, under
whose auspices the meet is being
arranged for March to z.
Hamilton's arrival here several
days before the meet will make
1t possible for him to test the air
currents in the vicinity of Port
