The commission of the Ger man Aeronautic association has com pleted all the plans for tomorrow's contest and the great International race to follow, and there Is every In dication that this year's Coup Inter rationale des Aeronautics will be the greatest tournament of the air In the world's history. Arrangements have teen made to care for at least a quar ter of a million of people who will jrobab'.y witness the start of the Bennett cup race. Thousands of the best trained troops of Germany will surround the great gas bags and pre vent any public Interference at the start. Major Gross has been appointed president of the board of umpires and Herr Clouth and Herr Kiedlinger, of the board of experts, will pass upon the material used by competitors. Each pilot has been provided with dispatch forms, which he must fill up as far as possible and every half liour drop when above cities, villages or other convenient spots. Tomorrow's racing will Include both a race to a fixed point and an endur ance contest. For the former, bal loons of ail dimensions have been en tered, from the smallest to the larg est, but the entries In the endurance contest are confined to gas bags of fmm 5113 to 2200 cubic capacity.

They are a trio of the most skillful aero nauts In the United States. Mucin in America. In the coming race August Post will act as aid to A. Holland Forbes, who will personally pilot his big bal loon, the Conqueror. The latter Is the only all-American balloon enter ed in the race, the other two pilots from the United States having had their balloons made in Europe. Mr. Forbes dues not expect that the race will be won on land. He x p'hins hnw small a chance there Is for any of the 23 ball-ions to reach the distance covered from St. Louis lat year and not land on water. He points to the map of France and argues that if the last year distance of 827 miles should be equalled in the race from Berlin, about the only basis of hope, so far as lighting on I.'.nd is concerned, will be a northwest wind, carrying the balloonist to Rus s.a"s frozen steppes. Mr. Forbes expects to win the race h- said, with the skillful help of Mr. Tost. They- win be clothed in two suits of underwear, heavy sweaters, their winter suits and overcoats. Tho Conqueror will carry maps of every country in Europe, duplicate sets of e.eetric light, 21 cans of seif-heatlng soups, six cans of seif-heatlng coffee, two dozen hard boiled eggs. 18 pints of water, two pints of brandy, 12 pints of champagne to help keep the pilots awake, for each Is to have only four PAYS These are real Piano Bargain days at 8 1 3 Main Street.

Potato Crop Short. The potato harvest Is about to be launched in this valley and the fact Is now well known that the entire crop will be less than half of what It was last year, says the Tyi Orande Ob server. In the Tmbler vicinity lack of water has reduced the crop to ap proximately 30 carloads, where last year 70 were shipped out. This same ratio holds good over all parts of the valley. What the potato growers need Is water water in a regular manner such as irrigation will afford. Potatoes are rapidly forging to the front and will soon be classed along with the apple and grain products of the valley, a few years ago potatoes were raised, not as a principal crop on any ranch, but as a side Issue. Now It is different for, as was demonstrat ed last year, there is enormous profit In raising "ipuds' In this valley. But It Is Impossible to do it along exten sive scales without Irrigation. j Tokio, Oct. 8. Despite denials in official circles it Is stated here on what appears to be good authority that Wu Ting Fang, Chinese minister to the United States, has been perem torily recalled by order of the em press dowager und will be succeeded by Chung Men Yew. The latter re cently arrived in Japan on his way to the United States. He is making the trip in company with Tang Shae Yi, a. special envoy of the emperor of China, who has been sent by his royal master on a diplomatic trip around the world. While the Chinese government has repeatedly denied any Intention of re calling .Mr. Wu, It appears certain that such action Is contemplated and that Chung Men Yew'ls to be his suc cessor. It is rumored in diplomatic circles here that Mr. Wu has been in discreet In his relations with the pow ers that be In Washington, and that upon his return to China he will be stripped of much of the honor and prestige heretofore accorded him in the affairs of state of the empire. Other reports have it that his recall Is due to the fact that he Is needed to counsel the empress dowager and her ministers in important matters now pending and that he will become a greater power than ever In directing the future of China. Xew Minister Prominent. Chung Men Yew, who Is slated to succeed Mr. Wu at Washington, was formerly Chinese consul general at Manila and Is one of the leading members of the Chinese Opium com mission. He has spent much of his life In tho United States where he Is Well kiiown. lit! was educated at Harvard university and was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsllon fraternity. Later he became interpreter at the Chlneso legation In Washington. Ho served with a number of Chinese min isters, Including Wu Ting Fang, and was then sent to Madrid as charge d'affaires. He afterward returned to China and was given Important work in connection with the railway and telegraph development, He is n widower, with one son, who was ed ucated In the United States. Tang hhao it Is bringing many presents to American officials, In uding 10 ancient porcelain relics of the Manchu conquest, taken from the palace of the present ruling family at Mukden, and other valuable porce la Ins and Jades. The empress dow ager Is sending special presents to President Hoosevelt as well ns sever al valuable Jades to Mrs. Nicholas Long-worth, the president's daughter. in remembrance of Mrs. Lnngworth's visit to Pckln In 1905. The mission of Tang Shno YI Is re plete with political possibilities, and Its outcome Is being regarded with great Interest by some of the Euro pean powers Interested In Manchuria. Efforts have been made to discredit It, but the send-off given the envoy Indicates that no matter what Is thought of his purposes, personally he Is regarded as a most able diplomat. Tang Shao Yl has been given plen ary powers with the rank of ambas sador, and this, together with the other honors conferred, Indicates the Importance attached by the empress dowager and grand chancellor Yuan Shnl Kal to his mission. A sum equal to that set aside for the entertain ment of the American fleet In Chl neso waters has been (riven Tuna Shao Yl to meet the expenses of this mission.
