FAMOUS MEN TO ENTER Various Events of Week to Be Par ticipated In by Aviators at Top Notch of Science Wright Brothers Not to Be There. RHEUMS. France. Aug. 1. A Summer's progress in aviation in France which has exceeded the dreams of the most 'en thusiastic followers of the sport will be crowned by the assemblage of the most renowned aeroplanists at a "week of aviation" at Rheima beginning August The aeroplanists entering for the vari ous events on the programme inciuae ui tham. Bleriot. De la Orange, Farman, Semnier, Santos Dumont, the Count de Lambert and Tissander, the apt pupils of Wilbur Wright, Demarest, Santai Peletier. Gobran. de Due, Ruchonel. Guf- frey and Glenn H. Curtlss, who will be the official representative, of the Aero Club of America. The nations taking part include France, America, Austria, Kn eland and Italy.

WOMEN' ARE TO BUILD AIRSHIP British Femininity to Furnish Funds for Defense Engine. LONDON'. Aug. 1. (Special.) Lady O'Hagan and Mrs. Aimee Watt Smyth, chairman and honorary secretary of the Women's Aerial League, write to a London paper: "Now that a real interest in the sub ject of aviation as a means of national defense Is beginning to manifest itself throughout the country, it is of the first Importance that the movement should be directed along the right lines. "The Women's Aerial League, having carefully considered the matter, are convinced that the proper course is to build in this country an all-British air ship, made of British material and con structed by British mechanics. "The history of the motor car in dustry proves conclusively that this is the only proper course to follow. We do not go abroad to purchase Dread noughts, and It Is not consistent with the enterprise and the Independence of the British interests to purchase abroad an airship ready constructed. "It is hardly to be expected that in the existing state of this infant indus try foreign nations will sell us their newest patterns and designs. Even if they did so, the only experience so gained would be In the actual manipu lation of the airship. "This country ought to be entirely independent of the assistance of for eign firms In a matter of first import ance to the industry the honor, and the very existence of the Empire, and for this reason we shall make it part of our policy to found scholarships or bursaries for young men, being British subjects, wishing to take up aerial en gineering as a profession. "It is on these grounds that the Wo men's Aerial League has resolved to appeal to women throughout the Em pire to support the Women's League by their brains, money and wide outlook.- ALL FRENCH RECORDS BROKEN' Biplane) Stays In Air t Honr, 50 Minutes and SO Seconds.

It Is altogether probable that the Harriman Interests would tap Middle Oregon by ex tnJon of the Corvallis A? Eastern across tils Cascade ranee from Detroit but tor the attitude of tne Government toward the "merger" of the union Pacific and Southern Pacific lints. That would be the easiest, quickest and of course the cheapest route. But the Corvallis Eastern Is a Southern Pacrfle property, and to escape the charge that common ownership destroys competi tion and that this "merger" Is wicked and Illegal. It Is essential that traffic havlns origin on Southern pacific lines should move to destination over the Southern Pacific, as would undoubtedly be the case If the South ern pacific and Union Pacific were In com petitive controls. Now. for years the long distance traffic originating In Middle Oregon will be In forest products, the chief market for which is In the prairie states of the Middle West. To take this out over the S'.sklyous, around by Sacramento and back over the Sierras would be highly unprofitable, oom pared with the shorter mileage and water -grades of the Vnion pacific route. But for the Southern Pacific to take the freight at the mills and haul It 200 miles to Portland and there'de llver It to the Union Pacific for the long haul to market would amount to confession that there Is no competition between these railway systems. Such a course would be sure to precipitate trouble that already Im pends over the Harriman combination. Hence the legal necessity for getting Union pacific entrance to the central part of the state. It Is nof a question of the feasibility of local routes north and south or east and west except as to the trunk line connection, which Is very important. Mr. Harriman'e competitors might view with equanimity his penetration of the Deschutes timber belt from connections that wouid make It Impossible for him to haul the lumber to market at a profit, but any other approach makes them active at once. Ihe Klamath Falls route cannot be used for much of the Oregon pine, because it crosses the Cascades twice, even If the mileage was not excessive. Of course there will eventually be a large agricultural traffic originating on the Cen- NOTED FRENCH AVIATOR, WHO WILL BE PROMINENT IN COMING MEETING OF AEROPLANE MEN, AS HE APPEARS IN HIS MONOPLANE. f LOUIS BLERIOT tral Oregon plateau, but this Is a matter for more or less gradual development. The timber is there now and only waits for transportation, and its manufacture will create a local demand that will do more to develop the farming Interests than will ac cess to distant markets. It is pretty cer tain there would be no railroad-building race up the Deschutes If It were not for the presence In the upper valley of the ftnest body of yellow pine now available. The re lation of this resource to its market and the carriers furnlshe a reason for the railroad activity now manifest. J. M. L.

American Arrested at Manila Co caine Also Concealed in Hongkong Shipment. MANILA. Aug. i The Government is pressing the investigation of what ap pears to be an extensive opium smuggl ing Plot which was brought to light by the discovery and seizure of 460 pounds of opium and 72 ounces of cocaine ingeni ously concealed In a shipment of mining machinery brought from Hongkong.

SHORT SPEECHES PROBABLE Aldrich Is Determined Conference Report Shall Not Be Carried , Into Next Week Night Sessions Likely. ; "WASHINGTON", Aug. 1. Unless some thing happens to provoke heated political debate, the new tariff bill should be en- IS FLIGHT. acted into law and the extraordinary ses sion of Congress adjourned before the end of this week. Inquiry among Sena tors opposed to the conference report in dicates that the debate will not be ex tended. The Senate will meet at 10 o'clock Mon day. The session probably will begin at that hour and will continue until $ P. M. dally until the report Is adopted. If it Is found that more Senators desire to speak than have already given notice, It is pos sible evening sessions may be held. Senator Aldrich is determined that the conference report shall not be carried over into next week. He does not ex pect to occupy very much time himself. It is probable that Senators opposing free hides will discuss that subject, and that all of the Republicans who voted against the bill when it was on Its passage in the Senate will take occasion to explain their action. Some of these Senators will vote for the conference report. Senator Culberson. leader of the minor ity, is authority for the statement that the Democrats will debate the conference report thoroughly, but will not filibuster against its adoption. Senators Daniel and Bailey, members of the committee on finance, will speak at length against the adoption of the report. FIFTEENTH SUSPECT HELD Sheriff Stevens Slakes Midnight Auto Run for Girl's Assailant. Notified after last midnight by two prominent Washington County farmers that a man answering- the description of the thug who assaulted a young woman of Sylvan recently had been seen near Beaverton, Sheriff Stevens hurried to the scene in his automobile and arrested a young Englishman, who frave his name as William Rashley. He was found in a deserted house, 'cooking a meal hobo-fasnlon. He did not resist arrest, and was conveyed in the Sher iff's automobile to the girl's home. She was unable to identify the man posi tively. The suspect Is being held in the County Jail for further Investigation. He is the 15th suspect arrested by the Sheriff's forces for this orirae. Rashley explained his presence in the country by saying he had heard of a job near Beaverton, had walked there to get it, and failing to obtain work, was walk ing back to Portland. CIGARETTES UNDER BAN Minneapolis Has Exciting Times During Last Smokes. MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 2. The cigar ette is an outlaw in Minnesota. The new state law prohibiting their sale went into effect Saturday, and it is now illegal to put them on the market. The cigarette market assumed a pe culiar phase in the closing hours. The price varied, and was as unsettled as the stock market after a flurry In Wall street. In the evening there was a shortage in popular brands at some cigar stores, and clerks sent up prices. Reports came in from other sections of the city that a fresh supply had arrived, which caused a rush to those stores. The prices were kept at top notch. At least 1,000.000 cigarettes, were sold in Minneapolis during the day. Nearly every store in the city had sold almost Its entire supply before the end came. GOV.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1. (Special.) "May God forgive me, but I couldn't live and have my beautiful children point a finger of acorn at their mother who loves them better than life. It la better that they die first. As for myself, there is nothing in life, after they are gone."

Her object was accomplished, for her children died without knowing the canker gnawing at the heart of their mother. The immediate cause of the tragedy, as shown in the note, was a threat by a niece of Mrs. Michel's husband to tell the children of an Indiscretion committed by their mother before her marriage. One daughter, Meta, a remarkably beauti ful girl, was born two months after the marriage of Mra. Michel.
