Vice-President Newsham's report
dealt largely with grievances occurring
in the various camps and he stated
that in almost every instance where a
miner had a just grievance against the
company it was satisfactorily adjusted.
The report Of Secretary-Treasurer
VIM. Short was largely statistical but
showed the district to be in splendid
shape numerically and financially, con
sidering the fact that nearly all of the
mines had worked but from one to

''lt would be foolharGy for an avla.

II will not attempt a transatlantic

Thus orvillc Wright, one of the

here todayias to whether he would
enter the list with aviators who de-
clarcd that they will try trip across
::Ae Atlantic ocean in their machines.

continued Mr.. Wright, ITO withstand

: do not doubt that the trip could be
made with ease If one or two resting
places were provided in the way.
But Of course this is not the plan,
and cannot believe that an aviator
who knows tile game well. would risk
his life in an undertaking of this
kind. Efforts have been made. to GOV.
