WIN BALLOON RACE American Distances AH Rivals for Bennett Cup. FROM SWITZERLAND TO RUSSIA Soar Through Rain and Fog Across Europe Taken by Russian Police, Despite Passports. Zurich, Switzerland, Oct 7. A.11 Zurich tonight toasted America and her champion, Edward W. Mix, who, after a remarkable and dramatic struggle againBt wind and ram storms, has car ied off first honors in the international balloon race for the Gordon Bennett cup by sailing from Zurich to the heart of the forest tiorth of Warsaw in Kus sian Poland. It is calculated that Mix covered a distance of between 1,045 kilometers (648.94 miles) and 1,120 kilometers (695.63 miles). Alfred LeBIanc, the French pilot, is placed second, with a distance of 834 kilometers (517.81 miles) ; Captain Messner, one of the Swiss pilots, third, with 800 kilo meters (496.80 miles), and Captain Schaeck, another Swiss entry, fourth. While there is disappointment be cause of the failure of the Swiss pilots to repeat last year's victory, the gen eral sentiment is one of satisfaction that America has taken the prize. Mix had continuous rain and fog throughout his voyage and saw the sun for the first time as he was landing on Tuesday morning. In a personal dis patch to the Associated Press from Ostrolenka, he said : "I landed in a large pine tree in the forest of Gutova, west of Ostrolenka and north of Warsaw, at 3 o'clock Tuesday morning. I encountered a heavy rain. My ballast was exhausted when I came dowD. At present I am in the hands of the police, but all is going 'well. "I had bad weather Sunday night. It was cloudy and rain fell, and I used half my ballast before morning. The weather was bo thick that it was im possible to locate my position for one hour south of Prague." EXPLORE IN AIRSHIP.

French General Says Other Interests Are. in Danger. Paris, Oct. 7. General A. G. L. d'Amide, leader of the French expedi tion in Morocco, in a sensatio al inter view in the Matin this morning; de clares that the time has arrived for France to call a halt on Spain's opera tions in Morocco and to intervene to save the economic and political inter ests of Africa. He declared French interests and the tranquility of a large area are threat ened and that Texaz, Morocco, which is the natural outlet of a large area to the Atlantic, is likely to fall into the hands of the Spanish. This would be disastrous to French interests. Italians Claim Hudson. New York, Oct. 7.

London, Oct. 7. For the first time in his reign, the King is openly inter vening in domestic affairs. His activ ity is centered in an effort to prevent the crisis threatened by the ministry's financial proposals. In hiB intervening the King is assisted by unofficial advisers. UNCLE SAM TO PROTEST. Sharp Practlco of Japan Violation of International Law. Washington, Oct. 8. Additiona facts shedding light on tho diplomatic situation which led up to the negotia tion of the treaty between China and Japan relating to the reconstruction of .i . ... i i tne ivntung-muKaen ranroaa were se cured today from reliable sources. This information only tends to confirm the impression that the United States may be called upon to protest against a vio lation of tho "open door" agreement in China and discredits tho report that Charles It. Crane, of Chicago, tho new minister to China, has reen recalled from San Francisco by Philander C. Knox, secretary of Btate, primarily for the purpose of receiving a reprimand for alleged indiscreet remarks in re spect to the relations between China and the United States. Such talk at present merely beclouds what, in the opinion of those who know, is a serious situation. As previously indicated, the crisis in tho diplomatic situation in China is not the outcome of any one act or cir cumstance. It is learned that negotia tions between China and Japan had proceeded for some time under the watchful eye of the United States and other nations, previous to the sjgning of the treaty between China and Japan early in July. At the time the pact was signed it is understood to have been the belief of the state depart ment, based on information from Min ister Rockhill at Pekin and from other sources, that tho question at issue be tween China and Japan would not be definitely concluded for at least two years. It is known that the Chinese foreign office thought it would take three years. Acting on this belief, Mr. Rockhill sailed for the United States on June 20, and Thomas J. O'Brien, United States ambassador to Japan, sailed from Yokohama on leave of absence on June 26. To the surprise of the state department, the treaty between Japan and China relating to the reconstruc tion of and concessions along the South Manchurian and Antung-Mukden rail roadB was s'gned early in Julyjover the protest of China. Had this event been expected, it is not believed here that Mr. Rockhill would have left his po3t at Pekin or that Mr. O'Brien would have returned home at that time, particularly when tbe agreement between China and Japan was believed even then to con tain some provision mimical to the open door policy in the Orient. It is said that diplomatic hints to Japan that a violation of the "open door" policy was contemplated in the proposed treaty were met with denials. It is "now understood that this treaty gives an exclusive right to Chinese and Japanese only to exploit the mines on both sides of the South Manchurian and Antung-Mukden railroad. Further more, it is said there is no limitation as to how far either side of these rail roads these exclusive rights shall oh tain. In either case, such an agree ment is regarded in Washington as a violation, in spirit at least, of both the Hay "open door" policy and the Portsmouth treaty. TAFT IN YOSEMITE. Greatly Enjoy Stage Ride of 34 Miles Through Nature s Glories. Wawona, j'Cal., Oct. 8. An all-day stage ride over 34 miles of mountain roads brought President Taft tonight to this lovely little Sierra retreat Mr. Taft and his party reached the Wa wona hotel in their stages at 5 p. m., one hour after the scheduled time, due to the lingering in the Grouse creek forest near Chinquapin. The day ride from El Porta, which began at 7 a. m., included glimpses of Yosemite valley, from Inspiration ard Artist's Point, a pursuit of the tumb ling waters of tbe Merced river into the valley floor and a winding, narrow climb to the crest of mountains 7,000 feet high, which shut in the wonders of the Yosemite. The day was bright. the air like crystal and everywhere was tbe exhilirating scent of the pines. News that the mountain lions were infesting the park held out hope of ad venture for a time, but not even the tracks of one were seen on the road. Chicago to Cut Salaries. Chicago, Oct. 8. A cut of 10 per cent in salaries of all city officials and employes of this city, from Mayor Busse'a $18,000 down to that of the lowliest laborer, has been agreed upon by the mayor and department heads for the next year. This drastic meas ure was made necessary by the' fact that Chicago has not money enough to maintain the payroll at its normal level. Last year it was $15,000,000. The cut, before becoming effective, must be sanctioned by the city council, where a fight against it is expected. Greit Prices"for Hops. Utica, N. Y., Oct. 8. Hopgrowers in Central New York are obtaining un heard of prices for this year's crop. While the hops a year ago at this time were bringing from 9 to 11 cents a pcund, the growers are receiving this week from 32 to 33 cents, and some choice lots have brought 35 cent?. Dealers say that never in their exper ience were the hops bought up so do e at this time of the season as they are today. Would Count Out Heney. San Francisco, Oct 8. Charles M. Fickert, Republican nominee for the office of district attorney, who lays claim to the Democratic nomiantion, alleging that tho latter was not prop erly awarded to Francts J. Heney, was granted today his request for a recount of the Democratic votes cast at the recent primary election. "" ' ' ' " ' OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST n mmm .l I mil n I CO-OPERATIVE IRRIGATION. Bakor County Farmers Don't Noed Outside Capital. Bakor City Baker county haB moro co-operative irrigation projects than any other county in Oregon. There are no largo 'ditch BystomB, tho farm ers being banded togother in small groups, and co-operating in building Of inexponsivo ditches and in the division of the water thorofrom. Vory much tho Bamo conditions as to tho ease with which water is utilized for irrigation prevail in Eagle and Pine valloys whero a superabundance of water Aowb from tho mountain gorges which has in it power enough to run tho machin ery of a small empire. The Lower Powder has several systems which have been expensive, built by private farmers and corporations, and which irrigato tracts of alfalfa land, in Burnt River valley are a number of private ditch companies irrigating bov torn and foothlil land, which produce good results but which are compara tivelv inexponsivo. The largest irrigation ByBtem in Baker county is that which covers the bench lands on the east side of Baker valley, beginning about eight miles above Baker City and extending in a northerly direction and terminating at present about five miles northeast of the city with the probability of it being extended later and covering the whole cast side of the valley. This canal has been built at a large expense, having been cut of solid rock for a con siderable distance along tho mountain side. In a distance of 28 rnilea of canal there haB been used only about 400 feet of flume, and tho work is of a much more substantial nature than is ordinarily used in private irrigation works. FAIR TO BE BETTER. Gresham Makes Improvements In Buildings for Coming Display. Gresham Multnomah county's fair promises to be the equal this year of the two preceding ones. About $2,000 worth of the treasury stock has been sold since the last fair, which haB cre ated an ample fund for making im provements. The sum of $500 is avail able out of the. state appropriation for premiums on exhibits thiB year, which Bum will be increased by the gate re ceipts and the money from sale of con cessions. A large force of men are at work on the new stock buildings and out-of-doors pavilion. It is intended to use the main exhibit building for no other purpose after this than to house the displays of agriculture, horticulture and art, together with exhibits of bus iness bouses. The new building will be used as an auditorium and dance hall and other public functions. The new stock pens will be ample and commodious and permanent, those of last year having been torn down. A now fence will be built around the grounds and suitable booths will be erected for small concessions. Phones to Sound Fire Alarm. McMinnville This city is installing the latest standard fire alarm system. The apparatus, purchased from a New York firm, is being placed in position and the city council will be asked to district the city into 'eight fire wards, or districts, to conform to the require ments of the new system. An electric bell striking machine will be connected with the automatic transmitter, which will be installed in the office of the McMinnville Local & Long Distance Telephone company, and thus, for the present, each public or private tele phone belonging to that company in tho city will serve to transmit an alarm of fire instead of the regular automatic fire alarm boxes. Building Santiam Bridge, Lebanon Preparatins for the con struction of the bridge over the San tiam river at this place are Deing made as rapidly as possible, for the new line between Lebanon and Crabtrce of the Oregon & California railroad company. A gang of nearly 100 men are now at work on the new structure. The bridge is going to bo one of the longest bridges in the country, being nearly 400 feet crossing tho river, with a tres tle of Borne 2,000 feet on tho west ap proach to the bridge. The bridge will cost in the neighborhood of $100,000. Paper Railroad Is Formed. Salem Articles of incorporation were filed today for the Albany, Leb anon & Bend railway company. The incorporators are J. C. Mayer, Ed. Kellenberger and George B. Whitcomb, and the capital -tock $10,000. It is proposed to build a road from Albany to Bend by way of Lebanon.

Corvallis Tho postal receipts of th'a city for the quarter ending Soptembr 30 shows a gain of 16.2 per cent ovi r the receipts for the corresponding quar ter of 1908. The gain for tho quarter ending September 30, 1908 over that of the year orevious was .23 per cent The falling off in the percentage of gain this year is attributed to the fact that O. A.
