Salt Lake will be the first city in an

and San Francisco having signed an
agreement with Secy. Joseph E. Caine

has two Farman biplanes and one
Blcriot monoplane. the former so close

eminent aviators. but also scientists of
note.

Pacific the rates viii be in effect as
far west as Sparks, New. The CO.
operation of the railroads thus gives a

prove an ideal place for the exhibition.
1t will accommodate a tremendous
crowd and the transportation facilities
afforded are the best Of any suburban
points OF Salt Lake.
Much interest Is attached to the meet
throughout the world, as 1t will be the
first time in the history of aviation
that an attempt has been made to fly
at any place that had more than a
Slight elevation above sea level. All
of the great meets have been held on
the lowlands. The possibility OF the
rare atmosphere affecting the flights
will be decided. an interesting point In
scientific aviation.
