ANXIOUS TO FLY
AVIATOR THOMPSON RECEIVES A
UNIQUE REQUEST FROM MAN
LIVING IN THIS CITY.
After facing death by entering a den
of lions and submitting to the process
of being shaved while the wild beasts
crouched in the corners of the cage, a
young San A:iIonian is now anxious to
accompany Aviator DcLloyd Thompson
when he attempts to make a 90-degree
spiral. %
In Thompson's mail received yesterday
afternoon was a letter from tho young
man who said he was 22 years old, five
feet 7 inches tall and weighed 112 pounds.
"1 have the nerve," said the letter, "and
hope you will give me a chance to prove
it."
The young man also sent Mr. Thomp-
son his credentials signed by the man-
ager of a local theater which say the
young man displayed great bravery and
fortitude on the night of November 2tJ,
1J>09, when he entered the lion's den and
was shaved.
"That fellow certainly has got nerve,"
said Mr. Thompson. "Any one who will
enter a cage of lions evidently is not
afraid to take a chance in an aeroplane.
However, say for me, that I do not in-
tend making flights with a would-be
lion tamer."
Aviators who are here with the Lillie
aviation school frequently receive re-
quests from local residents to allow them
to make a trial flight, but the request
that came through Tuesday's mail, Mr.
Thompson said was the most unique he
has ever received since entering the
aviation profession.
HUG HUNCH ?m
Finds Dollar Bill, Invests It in Print-
ers* Ink and Gets Big
Returns.
Getting $415 from an investment of $2.19
is an experience of one of the many who
are wise enough to advertise iu The Ex-
press, a net profit of $412.51 from an in-
vestment of $2.49 which was highly sat-
isfactory to cno advertiser and which
should l>e a sufficient profit to please
most anyone.
Last Saturday evening A. B. Davis
wanted to s«>ll a tract of LaSallo County
land which had been listed with him, so
he decided to put an advertisement in
The Express. He wrote the copy for
the advertiseineent and brought it to tho
business office of The Express, where,
after it. had been figured on, it was
found the cost would be $2.49. This was
a little more than he had expected to
pay, so he went out, walked about for
awhile, and then aimlessly strolled past
The Express office. When opposite the
building his attention was attracted to
a small object lying on the sidewalk, and
upon ]•! king it up he discovered it was
a $1 bill. lie. took this as a "hunch/* so
he walked into The Express office and
paid the prion of the advertisement and
was rewarded by receiving twenty-two
replies, but the best part is, he sold the.
land to one < f tho men who answered
the advertisement, making a net commis-
sion of $115.
Mr. Davis ravs this is not the first
time he has mad « a food trade by ad-
vertising in The Express, hut he thinks
it isn't often a man en~i tret s«» good a
result in five days as h<- did, and he will
continue to use the columns of The Ex-
press to bring him business. He says
a profit of $112.15 on an investment of
$2.49 is good enough for him.

DIXIE AVIATION SCHOOL WILL
OPERATE THREE AliROPLANES
AT ARMY POST GROUNDS.
Believlug that San Antonio will prove
to bo one of tho greatest aviation cen-
ters in this city, Andrew Drew and De-
Lloyd Thompson of the Llllle Aviation
School are making arrangements to re-
main in this city a long time.
Work of unloadiug two planes was
started yesterday. Wheu the aviators
arrived in San Antonio. December 24,
only one piano was unpacked, for at that
time both Mr. Thompson and Mr. Drew
were undecided about locating here per-
manently.
"We certainly like this city." said Mr.
Drew, "and believing it to bo a good
town and that before long it will be-
come a great center for aviators, we
have decided to remain here perma-
nently."
One of the planes that will be unload-
ed this morning is a Wright, similar to
the one that has been used by the avia-
tors In making their daily flights here,
while, tho other is a Day Tractor.
Aviator Drew prefers using a Wright
plane in making his flights, while Mr.
Thompson is partial to the Day. "Practi-
cally tho only difference in the two
planes is that on the Day Tractor the
motor is located in the front part of
the plane, while on the Wright it is In
the rear," saia Mr Thompson.
The tractor type, it is said, is becoming
more popular with aviators for they
are so constructed to eliminate acci-
dents.
With the three areoplanes in opera-
tion and four pupils attending the avia-
tion school, the Army Post aviation
grounds promise to present a busy scene
during the remaining three or four
months that Aviators Thompson and
Drew are in San Antonio.
BOUNDARIES OF DISTRICT
Heart of Business Section Is Included
in Territory Affected by Widening
of Commerce Street. .
Probably the smallest number of bal-
lots ever cast in a San Antonio election
will be deposited on February 8, when
property-owning voters residing within
the boundaries of Improvement District
No. 4 go lo the polls in the rear of tho
Groos National Bank to determine
whether the improvement district shall
issue bonds in the sum of $240,UUU for the
proposed widening of Commerce Street
from South Alamo to Main Plaza. Be-
cause of the district being a business dis-
trict exclusively not more than twenty
ballots will be cast.
The improvement district begins at tho
Intersection of Main Plaza and Commerce
Street at Jot No. 1, which is occupied
by Frank Bros.' store. It extends then
diagonally across block 101 to lot 19 on
Market Street: thence east along the
north side of Market Street to lot 8 in
block 156 on the east side of Navarro,
thence through block 156 to east side of
Presa Street, thence north along 1'resa
Street to tho north side of the alley,
east through city blocks 159 and 160,
across Casino Street to the east bank
of the San Antonio Ulver; thence east
through city block 90S to South Alamo
Street, thence north along the west side
of South Alamo Street, crossing Com-
merce Street to the northeast corner of
lot 13 in city block 145 on Alamo Plaza;
thence west across Losoya Street to the
San Antonio River to lot 1 in city block
148. The district then follows the mean-
dering! of the San Antonio River to tho
bridge on Crockett Street, thence along
the south side of Crockett Street to the
bridge at St. Mary's Street, thence along
tho nieanderlngs of the river to the north-
east corner of lot 12 in city block loti,
adjacent to Soledad Street. The district
concludes by running south on Soledad
Street, across Commerce Street to tho
point, of beginning.
This district was established by the
City Council November 21., 1904, for the
purpose of authorizing the brick pave-
ment now on Commerce .Street.
Seventy-nine persons own property in
the district, according to a list now on
file in City Clerk Fries' office.
STRIKE 1S~AT* STANDSTILL
Neither the Men Nor Employers Have
Agreed on Terms.
Thus far little progress has been made
toward settling tho strike of electricians.
Both employers and strikers are firm in
their attitude.
#An attempt was made to settle the
si rike a day or so ago, but the demaud
of the strikers for closed shops proved
an obstacle.
"We will not accede to the demands of
the strikers for closed shops," said J.
C. Kinney of Kinney & Co., electricians
and plumbers. "We are getting along
very well as It Is; in fact, there are only
about teu strikers out, the rest are help-
ers, and we have employed new men In
the places of those who are striking. So
we are going to staud firm and will not
agree to the strikers' demands."
AUXILIARIES TO MEET
Second Ward Workers Will Gather at
Navarro School.
Auxiliaries to (he City Board of
Health from Precincts 7, 8, 9 and 10 of

I
THREE DAYS' EXHIBITION OPENS
TODAY AT HALL ON MAIN
AVENUE.
RARE SPECIMENS LISTED
Today at 10 o'clock, at 117 Main Avenue,
the doors of the biggest poultry show
ever held in the South will be thrown
open to tho public. President Charles
Graebncr of the Chamber of Commerce
will deliver the opening speech and will
tell the poultrymen present what he
thinks of tho future of Texas as a great
poultrv State.
Local chicken raisers and members of
the Lone Star Poultry Association who
have worked hard to put Texas into tho
place where she rightly belongs in the
poultry industry, are gratified at the fec-
ognition which lias been accorded their
efforts by the Chamber of Commerce, as
evinced bv tho dscision of that organiza-
tion to make the regular weekly luncheon
"Poultry Day." This takes place at tho
St. Anthony Hotel at 12:30 tomorrow and
about two hundred business men will oe
initiated Into the mysteries of the Texas
hen, wnero she should be, and where siio
now is.
The appearance of the showroom at
present would make anyone but a chicken
man believe that a cyclone had passed
througn Main Avenue and had spent all
its fury on the big store in which the
chickens are housed. Crates of all kinds
stand round, some piled on others, some
empty and some containing the pick of
the chicken yards of Texas. The living
contents id' Empire shipping crates vie
with the tenants of various dry goods
boxes as to which can deliver the loudest
challenge. Geese—and there are a good
number of magnificent specimens—are
busy endeavoring to drown the quack-
quacks of the many varieties of their
smaller brethren, the humble duck. Gi-
gantic turkey gobblers are stretching
their ne.'Ks like camels above their large
show coops, adding their sweet songs lo
the general chorus.
BIRDS WORTti WHILE.
Noticeable among the birds are a grand
entry, comprising fifty-three birds from
the Oak Grove Poultry Farm, which has
just established Itself about eight miles
to tho north of San Antonio. This farm,
with a capacity of 23,000 adult birds, has
shipped ficrn the North its entire stock
under the superintendence <>f Licensed
Poultry .Judge E. T. Jacobs and Ills son,
T. C. Jacobs.
Many local poultrymen were noticeable
in the showroom attending to tlie wants
of their pets. William Edgar brought a
fine string of his celebrated white Wyaii-
dottes. Walter Siedel and J. F. Ripps
were there with their white leghorns,
and H. &. Affleck with his white Or-
pingtons. B. C. Walsh, State vice presi-
dent of the National Single-comb Buff
Orpington Club, was present with a fine
string of well-known winners, bringing
one seven-months-old cockerel which was
a worid jr for color. '/. C. J^aw and Gil-
bert Klaus were there waiting for their
ducks to be unerated. Four white Pekin
ducks, iuo property of Mr. Klaus, were
probably the largest ducks ever exhibited
in the South. They were as big as ordin-
ary geese. Some of the Indian Runners
are beautifully marked, and b. A. Elmen-
dorf's barred Plymouth Rocks were also
in evidence and a close study of them
shows that careful line breeding has ac-
complished wonderful results. E. F. Isom
and Mr. Ailing will be among the com-
petitors of Mr. Elmendorf in the barred
Rock section.
STRIKING EXHIBITS.
Probably one of the most striking ex-
hibits in the string of Cornish made bv
Show Secretary Ed M. Steves, including
the celebrated cock Defender, the first
prize-winner at Chicago. Eugene Prescolt
will bo a hot competitor In the buff
Orphington class, as is evidenced by a
grand stiing of well-shown birds.
Outsid-3 fanciers are beginning to arrive
in good numbers. Mr. Thompson of Blan-
ket is probably among tho vanguard and
announces that the quality of birds is as
good, if not better, than any ho lias seen
at a lexas show. He lias brought a good
team of black Orpingtons, including the
Houston winners and others.
Judge H. B. Savage, president of the
Texas branch of the American Poultry
Association, is expected to arrive in town
this morning. In company with Judge
O. 1>. McCord lie will place the awards
upon the exhibits. Mr. McCord is employ-
ing his time quietly studying tho birds
without f aying a word to anybody. Judg-
ing is scheduled to begin on Thursdav
morning, and will probably bo completed
at nightfall.
In the lr eanwhile the show committee Js
working their hardest to get birds into
their coops and the entries checked up so
as to enable the Judges to proceed with
their work in the easiest manner possi-
ble.
According to Show Secretary Ed M.
Steves, everything is In excellent shape
and tho lecords axe being kept In a busi-
ness-Ilk* way.
Chairman E. H. Prescott and Secretarv
Steves may bo seen at ajiy time during
the day and half way Into the night busy
arranging the details of the great ex-
hibit A number of last year's show com-
mittee were also in evidence. Including
Ben Andrews, C. C. Leal, Walter Scher-
merhorn, B. C. Walsh and others. Charles
J. Rossy also Is doing his full share of
work.
Superintendent K M. Samuels states
that h* is satisfied that every detail has
been carried out so as to Insure a moat
successful show.

CALIFORNIANS PASS THROUGH
ON WAY TO CANAL ZONE
AND WEST INDIES.
Bringing with them optimism about
their wonderful State, California, and radi-
ating with praiso for what they have seen
in their Journey across Texas from El
Paso to San Antonio, n party of thirty-
eight Callfornians, bankers and business
men of Los Angeles and Pasadena, spent
tlireo hours in San Antonio last night on
their way Lo tbe West Indies and the
Canal Zone.
Tbe party arrived at 7:45 o'clock last
night over the Southern Pacific from Cali-
fornia and immediately rushed out or
their private cars for a moonlight trip
of inspection over the city. They wore
taken lo the Alamo, the San Fernando
Cathedral, the leading hotels and through
the business districts. Some of the visi-
tors had been in San Antonio before, but
none iu recent years, and all were loud
In their praiso of the wonderful growth
the city has made.
The bankers' party Is en route to the
Panama Caual on a trip of Inspection, to
determine what business opportunities the
opening of tho big ditch will hold for
Southern California.
"Although business is one of the fac-
tors in our trip, pleasure is tho greatest,"
said J. F. Rhodes, a director of the First
National Bank of Pasadena. "Of course,
whenever a group of business men take
such a long trip there is always some
business in connection, but the main ob-
ject of our visit; Is to inspect the Panama
Canal work, visit Cuba and its neighbor-
ing islands and to Inspect the country be-
tween California and New Orleans. What
we have seen is wonderful, and especially
in Texas, the State of such wonderful dis-
tances. We have traveled twenty-two
hours in Texas and yet have to travel
fourteen hours before we cross Into Louis-
iana. Truly this Is a wonderful State,
but no more so than San Autonlo. I wn"R
here about twenty years ago and if it
wasn't for the Alamo I wouldn't recog
nlze this city as San Antonio. The city's
growth has been splendid."
There are a number of women In the
party and they, too, were pleased with
what they saw in San Antonio. The dis-
plays of Mexican drawnwork iu the down-
town shop windows was especially at-
tractive to the women. Tbe party will
leave New Orleans tomorrow on the steam-
ship Kronprlnzessln Ceclle of the Ham-
burg-American line.
