AVIATION TREAT FREE FUR ALL
 THIS ?. M.

With seven mechanics working lon the engines of his aeroplane Didier Mason declares that tomor- row afternoon he will either make the flights he has promised that the people shall see, free of charge, Tor something will have occurred that will put him permanently out lof the running.
 f There is little doubt that ,weath- CT conditions being favorable Mir. Mason will make some extremely good flights. It is therefore hoped lthat a large crowd will Dc on hand to witness them.
 i In connection with the flights. the following letter was received ! by The Miner this morning: 4 TO the Editor Of The Review:
 Dear Sir;
 l wish 10 make, through your columns, the following an-' ] Inouucement to the citizens of the Warren District m regard 10 the 'fighis pf tomorrow.
 .4i,,r considerable effort, on the part of our mechanics, for re- pairing the machine after the un- fortunate accident of last Sunday we shall b, ready to make one more and last attempt in giving an i exhibition flight, tomorrow, We'd nesday February 22 at between 2 and p. m., weather conditions ,ipermItling and free to all.
 Everybody is aware, l suppose, of the difficulties that we have had to face here in trying to carry out the aviation meet of Sunday i the twelfth instant or winch dale i the sleCng gale swept over this entire section hanlpered us almost 10 the point of destruction as we came here under all sorts of prom ises but without any guarantee whatsoever which is not only an unusual but impractical method of handling an aviation meet. The conquest of the air has proven to be the most expensive art of today. The constant expenses, the unfore- seen breakage of machines, travel ing and high salaries to men, ex- perts in the art. make the sport one of great hazard Co the manage ment in aviation. Therefore, a guarantee is always the only fair method in dealing with aviators.
 In coming here we were entire , Iy ignorant of the atmospheric and typographical conditions of this mountainous section which make flying exceedingly dangerous and especially so on account of the nigh altitude. We remained an en tire week here with the hope of being able to have better fortune on the following week and the post pOnemeat of the meet cost me an enormous amount of money for 1t is not only the expense that has to be figured, which was great, but also the fact that we had to re- main meant the loss of other en- ! lgagements that we had to fulfill in California and which had to be given up.
 I wish also to impress upon the people that a large proportion of
 the crowd present at the grounds )n fast Sunday did not pay any admission as nearly six hundred of them had arrived at the grounds shortly after the accident took place and I gave immediate in strcctions to the gate keepers to stoT, further collections of en- trance fees. I hope that the wealth sr conditions will be element to- orrow afternoon in order to en- abe us to carry out our determine ed purpose. We shall try to &C., comDlish our best our motto be- ling ~fiy or break"
 Before closing this letter es- seem it a duty to extend my hearty thanks to all those who have helped me in the endeavor of making success of this un- fortunate meet. And in particular II feel grateful to the indefatigable good sportsman. Mir. Jesse Yoak- um. who has taken more to heart the success of this meet than any other man I have ever met and who has been iunocuIated with the virus of aviation.
