N. R. MOORE . . . CHAS. L. SPRINGER, . . . Editor Business Mgr. EDISON ON FLYING Any opinion of Thomas A. Edison, the great inventor, is of considerable interest. His Opinion in regard to the areo plane, or flying machine, is of particular interest. He says; " My criticism of the aeroplane type of flying machine," said Mr. Edison, "is that it is a machine for sports. The flying problem now consists 01 75 perf cent machine and 25 per cent man. That's not right. The commercially successful flying machine must be a device that any-man of intelligence can learn to operate within a reasonable time; and, having learned, the performance of the machine " must be certain, sure. Little or nothing must be left to the peculiar . skill of the operator. And it must not be a machine ( that can go out only when the ' wind is just so. It must ,, be a machine that can go out when the time table says it should- go the earth. The air offers com paratively little resistance. Put the power into a' machine and you can get almost" any speed you want. But while the flying machine will be very fast, it will never be a great weight carrier. It will be used for mails, but not for freight." ' Harriman does not weigh more than two large mail . sacks, so I asked Edison what Harriman would be likely to do ten years hence if, while in San Francisco, he desired to reach the .Last m the shortest possible time, as he did in Mav 1906. when he came through on a special train in 71 hours and 27 minuts. He would probably take a flying' machine," he replied, "and come home in thirty hours. He could do it. The flying ma chine is going to be used for pas senger business. Trains, will continue to carry the bulk of the traffic,, but ten years from now, if a man wants to go in a hurry and dan pay the price, he will go through the air. Nor will he be in any more danger than if he were travelling on a train. He may be killed, just as one may be killed on a railroad, but he will be in no great danger. We put fenders on street cars to pre vent tTTem from killing pedes trians, and in the same manner we will equip flying machines with a safety device, by means of which they will slowly descend to the -ground in the event of any accident to the machinery. . The flying mAchine need not be es pecially dangerous to human life, and will not be.' f . cond week had saved enough to buy a waistcoat. After one month they appeared before their respective employers clad in new . clothes and told them with imposing self-confidence that the organization of their business was defective and re quired reorganization- A year later the boy has become a part ner, in two years he has out stripped the former boss in wealth, and a year later he has grown smart enough to kill off the benefactor of other days. All American millionaires arise at 3 in the morning', eat and drink almost nothing, cease their work at midnight and allow only those to live whom they think are good enough to invite. Every dollar king founds a uni versity, an opera, a museum or a picture gallery.

"Dad" Irvine's (Continued on page1 three') HARRY TO BE A LITERATY MAN. "Harry Thaw's purpose to be a' great literary man if -he gets out of Matteawan is most com mendable. Literature is a noble calling. Some of the greatest men in history have been literary men," says the St." Louis Post-Despatch, i ITT ,1.1.. . snowing tnat literature is a wide field, Harry ., wisely makes preparations adequate to all pos sible demands. It ' is- said ' that $25,000 has been spent fitting up his den where he is to think arid res-ardlnss of wpnthpr renditions J write and work. In this den are "I don't believe the aeroplane will ever measure up to these requirements. I think the principle upon which it .is built is wrong. Too much power - is necessary to sustain it. - An enormous amout of force is v re-; quired to drive an inclined plane against the air so rapidly that it ill i 1 He was asked to give his idea of what a flying machine should .-. "If I were ro build , a flying machine," he replied, "I would plan to sustain it by means of a number of rapidly revolving in clined planes, the effect of which would be to raise the machine by compressing the air between the planes snd the earth. Such a machine would rise from the ground as a bird rises. " Then I would drive the machine ahead ' with a propeller." . "Has your plan ever been tried?" . : "O, yes. I read in the, news papers only the other day that somebody had succeeded in fly ing eight miles with such a ma chine. I don't know who the man was." Then we went back to Edison's prophecy that within ten years the United States . government would be usying flying machines to carry mails. I asked him how V big he thought such machines would be. - : "They'll be small," he replied, "just as small as they can be and do the business. The smaller they are the less resis tance they will offer to the air. But they will have powerful engines and will go at great speed,"' "How great?" r "Oh, 100 miles an hour at any rate. Eventually tney . wm go a - greal deal faster. Traveling in the air is not like traveling on several thousand books of refer ence, all chosen by .. Harry him self, so that, should he be in th e mood one day to write a treatise on political economy, he will have everything he needs right at hand. Or should he be in the mood to write a great tragedy like those of. Sophocles or Shakspeare, he will have the works of all tragic authors on the'shelves before him. .And by glancing through them for a few minutes he will perceive how they did it. Then he will do likewise, and literature will be enriched thereby and Bernard Shaw will stop boasting. There are unlimited possibilities for a young man who goes at literature in this way. He can be novelist, sociologist, play wright, essayist, philosopher, be cause in his library all these de partments of literature are re presented.: . . But in the description of Harry's den . and. library we miss two useful. books which he can hardly do without a gram mar and a spelling book. A literary man must know liow to spell and parse. If these two books are not already on the shelf we hope Harry will not omit to buy them before he be gins to be a great literary man. space for displaying farm imple ments, machinery, carriages, wagons, and other vehicles, ' etc. Great Doings in Poultry. The poultry pavilion is enlarg ed to the extent 01 an annex 42x75 feet, and the entire struct ure is equipped with new coops for the feathered beauties that will be entered for the ribbons and premiums. The superintenr dent of this department is Prof. James Dryden, of the poultry husbandry department of the Oregon Agricultural College. He is putting forth special efforts to make this exhibition of poultry the largest and most attractive in the history of the state fair. A section of the poultry building annex will be used for the Scotch Collie dog department. , . The dairy department will be looked "after by Paul V. Maris, one of the deputies to the state dairy . commissioner.' He 'will have a display of dairy products the like of which has never been seen on . the fair grounds, -and there will be a large display of dairy utensils by various dairy supply houses in the Pacific Northwest. " ' Good Races. .. ,. J The racing at the fair will be of the best sort, as many horses of extraordinary speed have been entered for the rich purses that will be hung up. The race course is in splendid condition for record breaking events. x v There will be special amuse ment features during the day and evening hours, all of which are sure to attract many farmers and agriculturists who may desire to take a short vacation . at-this time of the year. only three quarters of an brought a verdict of guilty. case was plain enough, morning Justice Porter, Ballard's specific promise to com pletely quit the business and all connections with it placed the fine at the minimum. Mrs. Bal lard was present with her little child. Ballard says he can raise the money. At press time he had not secur ed it and is in jail. In the case of Clyde Miller, upon the recommendation of the deputy district attorney, and up on the statement that he will re turn to his father s farm at Crabtrse, the fine was placed at the minimum. Lawyer Wright stated that the business ought to be stopped and if his clients ever come up again they ought to be given a heavy fine, but asked for leniency on account of the men's promises and their families. If there are others violating the law they should take warning, it s a mignty poor business and no mistake, 20 Per Cent DISCOUNT In order to clean up our SPRWG SUITS We will give 20 per cent discount ' until all are sold . A. K. RUSS X Council "Dad" Irvine is swearing by Taft prosperity. He has been digging into his potato patch recently and finds some whoppers. One brought to this office this morning looks like a cross between an aeroplane in flisrht and a three legged ostrich. The specimen weighs tnree pounds and is one of four of like kind in a single hill. The Payne tariff measure may have reduced some things, but not the size of Mr. Irvine's potatoes, hence his continued faith in the administration. Dealer in all Men's CORVALLIS.
