ATTEMPT TO HURT BENSON
Story of Operation Stale as Mmburger
Cheese, Says Statesman.

In a story which was evidently in
spired by political motive, pure and
simple, the Portland Telegram last ev-
ening paraded the fact that an opera
ton had been performed on Governor
Benson, and paFaded it in screaming
type across the front page.
The Telegram should watch other
newspapers, as the Statesman printed
the facts concerning this operation
about three weeks ago, as did other
newspapers of the state. They were
given out by DR.. r. f. Steiner when he
returned from his last visit to San
Francisco. The fact that ii was as
musty and stale as limburger cheese
shows that the story in the Portland
evening paper gained its inspiration
from political reasons, pure and sim
pie.

he describes in the closing stanzas oil

with a tail that worked by strings

Away he goes! Jimmey! what a jump

To the ground with a thumpi
Flutt'rin an fiound'rin,' all in lump
As demon is hurled by an angels

Heels over head, to his proper sphere
Heels over head, and head over heels,

In the midst of the barnyard he came

In wonderful whirl of tangled
strings,
Broken braces and broken springs,
Broken tail and broken wings,
Shooting stars and various things
Barnyard litter of straw and chaff,
And much that wasn't so sweet by half
Away with a below fed the calf,
And what was that? Did the gosling

From the old barn door,
And he hears the voice of Gotham

AUTO RACES TO END FAIR
Last Day at Salem Will be Notable for
50-Mile Event.

As a grand finale of the 49th annual
State Fair being held in Salem this
week, automobile races will be held
on Saturday afternoon on the one mile
race track at Salem. Large prizes have
been assured, the winners of the event
to be paid as soon as the races are
over.
The chief race of the day will be the
50-mile event for stock cars, owned
either privately or by an automobile
company. A number of the Portland
automobile dealers have stated their
willingness to enter cars in the races
The races are to be held under the
auspices of the Inter Mountain Motor
Racing Association. The motto of this
association is: Boost for good roads 2"
Kenneth Honeyman, a Portland
man, has already entered his car. r.
90-horsepower car. Should he decide
to race, the spectators will have an OPP
portunity of seeing some real speed
ing. Inman's car has a record of bet
ter than a mile a minute, made at the
Gearhart races July 4, when it won the
10mile free-for-all contest on the
sand. Honeyman's car came in fourth
in this race despite its low power.
Probably there will be five events
for automobiles during the afternoon.
These races will be held after the
of the horse races. Each
car will be required to post an en-
trance fee. This will be refunded If the
car starts in the races.
C. Fl. Williams, with his powerful
car, in which he has made some road
records, will probably enter his ma
chine. Races with both flying and
starts will be held. The Inter- |

Voters Left TO Puzzle.

In the affirmative argument is the
statement: "They have used nets as
small as one-inch mesh for the pur-
pose of gathering trout with salmon" :"
but the opponents of the bill come
back with the contradictory assertion
that the fishermen's net is so con-
structed that it precludes the possibil-
ity of any salmon trout being taken"
As a matter of fact, more than 1OO,-
900 voters who live outside of the
Rogue River Valley, in order to vote
with knowledge of the facts. would
have to make personal investigations
Of fishing conditions on the river.
For purposes of investigation, the
voter may find il wise to segregate the
80 measures into seven classes. There
are four measures that may be put
under the head of state institutions" "
two under the head Of labor legisla-
ton" three under the head Of taxa
ton" five under the head of "elec-
tions." nine under the head OF county
boundaries" three under the head OF
liquor traffic" and six under the head

SEES FIRST AEROPLANE
AUTHOR OF DARIUS GREEN
ATTENDS AVIATION MEET.
Poet Says When He Wrote Humorous
Prophecy, He Never Expected
to See Men Fly.

A distinguished and deeply interest
ed guest at the opening preliminaries
of the Harvard -Boston.Aeronautic
meet at Boston, Mass, yesterday, was
j. 7. Trowbridge who just forty years
ago wrote that humorously prophetic
poem, Darius Green and His Flying
Machine"-a poem which convulsed
and which was for years one of the
favorite selections with which readers
entertained lyceum audiences and
which school boys relished on gradua-
ton days, says the Boston Herald.
You knew what was coming when
If ever there lived Yankee lad,
Wise or otherwise, good or bad,
Who, seeing the birds fly, didn't jump,
With Tapping arms from stake or
stump,
Or, spreading the tail
OF his coat for a sail,
Take a soaring leap from post or rail-
And wonder why
He couldn't fly,
And flap and flutter and wish and try;
If ever you knew a country Ounce
Who didn't try that as often as once,
All can say is, that's a sign
He never would do for a hero of mine,
An aspiring genius was Darius Green;
The son of a farmer-age fourteen;
His body was long and lank and lean
Just right for flying, as will be seen;
He had two eyes as bright as a bean,
And freckled nose that grew between,
A little awry--for / must mention
That he had riveted his attention
Upon his wonderful invention.
Twisting his tongue as he twisted the |
strings
And working his face as he worked |
the wings,
And with every turn of .gimlet and |
screw
Turning and screwing his mouth
round, too.
Till his nose seemed bent
To catch the scent,
Around some corner, of new baked |
pies,
And his wrinkled cheeks and his
squirting eyes
Grew puckered into a queer grimace,
That made him look very droll in the |
face,
And also very wise.
And how everybody laughed when
Darius gave his reasons why he be-
ieved men should fly. 1t was all so
lbsurd and ridiculous. Nobody but
ool Yankee boy would ever dream of
iuch a thing. Yes, the audience usu-
lily roared at these lines. You remem-
yer them, of course. If not, here they
