DALTON, Ohio, May 30. Wilbur
Wright, famous aviator and builder of
aeroplanes, died of typhoid fever at
his home here at 3:15 o'clock this
morning. Death followed a slight ral
ly, during which he took some nour
ishment. The end came peacefully.
Orville, Lorin and Rueschlin Wright
brothers of Wilbur; his sister, Kather-
ine, his father, Bishop Milton Wright
and Dr. D. B. Conklin were at the bed
side when the famous aviator died.
Wilbur Wright complained of ill
ness upon his arrival in Dayton on
May 2 from a business trip in the east
Two days later he took to bed and
two doctors and" two trained nurses
were summoned. May 22 a Cincin
nati specialist was called in on the
case, and following a consultation it
was diagnosed as virulent typhoid fev
er. Intense brain activity due to
Wright's continual planning for furth
er aeroplane developments and the
patient's anxiety oyer the outcome of
his illness obstructed improvement,
and the fever rose rapidly.
Last Tuesday he was seized with a
sudden chill and the physicians then
prononuced his case hopeless. Kidney
and bladder troubles then developed
and for days he remained unconscious
Last night Wright showed some im
provement, partook of some nourish
ment and sank into a deep stupOr.
Physicians declared today that on
ly the clean living of Wright and his
rugged constitution prolonged life.
Wilbur Wright was born near Mill
ville, Indiana, April 16, 1867. He was
a son of Bishop Milton Wright of the
United Brethern Church and Susan
Catherine Wright. He was educated
in the public and high schools of Rich
mond, Indiana, and Dayton, Ohio.
With his brother, Orville, he shares
the distinction of being the first to
fly. Students of world progress have
placed these names in the Hall of
Fame in immediate proximity with
those ether pioneers of advancement
Gutenburg, Watts, Fulton, Stevenson,
Edison, Bell and Marconi.
Wilbur Wright and his brother, na
tives of Ohio, began their experiments
in flying when they were mere boys.
Their stepfather gave them a heli
copter as a toy. The curious little in
strument, when wound up, flew about
the room over the heads of the de?
lighted youngsters. Unlike most boys
instead of quarreling for possession
of the toy they played with it togeth
er and set their precocious young
brains to the task of first imitating
and then improving upon the toy. As
they grew up their interest in avia
tion was manifested in the building
of kites, and finally in 1896 they took
up in earnest the study of actual
flight.
Thy were in the bicycle business in
Dayton, Ohio. It was with the profits

There has been so many automobile
accidents recently that the contest
manager wishes to offer a little kind
ly advice to the winner of the Ford
touring car in the Morning and Week
ly Enterprise contest. The winner
probably will know little or nothing
about automobiles unless Joe Shea
han gets busy and wins and conse
quently, will not try to break a speed
record at the start. But after awhile
when ho or she learns the machine
there will be a temptation to make
the best possible speed. This, of
course, would lead to trouble and pos
sibly a serious accident. The advice
of the manager is to speed now in ob
taining votes, and go slow -when you
are driving the machine. The race is
nearing an end next Wednesday is
the last day and the contestants
must work as they have never worked
before. An automobile is a luxury
and very few of us have them. The
reason is they cost too much.. For in
stance such prosperous men as
George C. Brownell, Judges Campbell
and Beatie haven't autos, and the
reason, no doubt is that they feel that
it would not be an economic proposi
tion for them to invest in a machine
at this time. And yet the Morning
and Weekly Enterprise will give one
away next Wednesday. It's a chance
of a lifetime.
NORMAL SCHOOL TO
START NEXT MONDAY
The 1912 session of the Clackamas
County Summer Normal school will
open next Monday morning at the
high school buiding, and indications
point to a large attendance. The
normal school will continue in ses
sion three weeks, including Saturdays,
closing just prior to the date of the
examinations. F. J. Tooze, superin
tendent of the Oregon City schools;
A. O. Freel, principal of the Barclay
school, and N. W. Bowland, principal
of the Eastham school, will comprise
the faculty of the normal, and they
will specialize in Reviews and Meth
ods. These same educators conduct
ed a summer normal in 1910 and 1911
and made a remarkable success of it,
teachers coming from every .section
of Clackamas County to prepare for
the examinations.

VILLAMETTE MAN MAKES
NEW STRAWBERRY RECORD
Chris Siebken, of Willamette, has
made a remarkable record this year
growing strawberries. Although Mr.
Siebken has only one third of an acre
in strawberries his crop this year will
pay most of the expenses of his farm.
The berries are of the Magone vari
ety. '
If you saw it in the Enterprise it's
so.

WINS AUTO RACE
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 30.
Dawson driving a National car won
the 500 mile motor classic here this
afternoon. His time was 6:21:06.
This is 21 minutes an 2 seconds fast
er than last year's.
Dawson's average speed for the 500
miles was 78.6 miles -an hour.
Dingley and Matson withdrew at
the 350 stage, leaving only 12 men in
the race.
' De Palma retained the lead at the
end of 400 miles, just 26 minutes and
31 seconds, ahead of the world's rec-'
ord for the distance, which he cover
ed in 4:56:34. Dawson was second
and Bruce Brown third.
Burman's Cutting - car was over
turned in the 159th lap. Burman and
his mechanician, Goetz, escaped unin
jured. With 80,000 spectators lining the 21
mile speedway 24 automobiles start
ed here at 10:02 a. m. today in the
richest and most spectacular automo
bile speed classic of the year the
500 mile international sweepstakes,
in which $75,000 in prizes are award
ed.
The gates were thrown open at 4
o'clock this morning, when 2000 per
sons, most of whom had spent the
night outside, were clamoring for ad
mittance. Long before the racing
cars paraded the track the grand-
j stands were crowded. Roads leading
to tne speedway were lined with auto
mobiles for hundreds of yards in ev
ery direction in the early morning
hours.
All racing cars were kept under
guard last night. They were ruled
off the course at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning when the entire speedway
was carefully cleaned and all grease
removed.
The weather today was ideal for the
race, causing the belief that last
year's average speed of 74.61 miles an
hour would be bettered. The favor
its in the betting when the race start
ed were Hughie Hughes with his Mer
cer; Ralph De Palma, Mercedes;
Ralph Mulford, Knox; Matson, Lozier;
David Bruce Brown, National, and Joe
Dawson, National.
The cars paraded the track at 9
o'clock. Two minutes past 10 o'clock
the 24 racing machines shot from the
mark and the greatest of American
classics was on.
The racers started off at an 80 mile
clip, Teddy Tetzlaff covering the first
lap in one minute and 433 seconds in
his Fiat car with the new engine
which he installed last night.
In the 'fourth lap Ralph De Palma
led with Spencer Wishart in his Mer
cedes second Tetzlafl third.
Ormsby, driving an Opel, quit in the
seve.nth lap. In the eighth lap De
Palma was leading at a speed of. 82
miles, an hour.
Knight withdrew in the sixth lap on
account of engine trouble. De Palma
led at 100 miles with Dawson second
and Wishart third, only a few seconds
behind the leader.
Tetzlaff,- Anedrson Rickenbacker.
Burman, Merz, Liesaw and Hughes
followed in the order named, all with
in two laps of De Palma.

Dr. Sommer Thinks He Will
Recover Wound Near
Heart
Robert Green, son ofS. R.. Green,
was accidentally shot and seriously
wounded Thursday afternoon by E.
T. Fields, agent for the Southern Pa
cific Railroad in this city. The shoot
ing occurred on the river in the rear
of Frank Busch's store, at Twelfth
and Main streets. Mr. Fields who
was rowing on the opposite side of
the river fired at a snag with a 22-cal-ibre
rifle, the ball ricochetine on the
water and striking the lad, who with
a companion had only a few minutes
before got out of a boat.
Several workmen employed at a
sand bank by Moffatt & Parker, con
tractors, saw the boy fall and went
to his assistance. Sheriff Mass was
notified and Drs. H. S. and Guy Mount
were summoned. It was at first
thought the lad had been shot through
the heart, but an investigation made
at the Oregon City Hospital showed
that the bullet entered just under the
heart and the physicians think he Has
a chance to live. Dr. E. -A. Sommer,
of Portland, performed an operation
Thursday night.
Robert Green, who is sixteen years
of age, is one of the best young ath
letes in the county. He has won sev
eral medals in school contests, and
expected to enter several meets this
summer. He was graduated from the
Eastham school Wednesday, being
one of the most popular members of
the class.
An additional unfortunate feature
of the accident is that Mr. Fields has
been seriously ill for several months,
having recently returned from San
Francisco where he was given medical
treatment His friends " fear the
shock of the shooting may cause a
collapse. He was attended by a phys
ician Thursday night.
With Mr. Fields in the skiff was
Frank Champion. After the boy fell
the men who picked him up called to
Messrs. Fields and Champion and
they rowed across the river, the form
er explaining how he had fired at the
snag. Sheriff Mass, the boy's father
and the physicians carried the lad to
the Oregon City Hospital where he
was given immediate attention.
"I am not badly hurt,' said the lad.
"Why that is not serious. Don't wor
ry about me."
Several members of the Lodge of
Elks spent the afternoon and even
ing with Mr. Fields trying to console
him.
