Chicago, July 7. "The Chicago-to-oeean" balloon race ended tonight, when the last of the nine contestants came to earth at West Shcfford, Que bec, S00 miles from the starting point. This craft was the Fielding, owned by F. I. Fieldinir. of San Antonio, Tex. I It covered approximately 100 miles i'more and stayed in the air five hours longer than its nearest competitor, and is also believed to have captured the prize for the balloon which re mained in the air the longest The contest was marked by several thrilling escapes from drowning. The Ville de Dieppe dropped into Lake Michigan soon after the start, and for an hour or more Colonel A. K. Mueller "and George Sehoeneek. its pilots, were swept across the .surface, finally arising with their craft to a height of 7000 feet, from which they descended at Benton Harbor, Mich. A similar experience fell to the lot of -C H. Perrigo and J D". Case, the crew of the Illinois. .While endeavor ing to effect a landing near Lake On- jtario their balloon fell into the Bay of Quinte. The aeronauts had donned life preservers and managed to keep afloat until a yacht put off from Glenn Island and rescued them. . The fate of the balloon is not known here. The third serious accident took place near Clinton, Out. The balloon Columbia could not be controlled by Captain M. Peterson and C. II. Leich ler, and they were dashed against trees and dragged through barbed wire fences. Both men were painfully injured. The landing places of the nine bal loons were as follows: Fielding, West Shcfford. Quebec; America, Carsonville, Mich.; King Edward, Port Huron, Mich.; Chicago, At wood. Ont.; U.

Goes? 600 ; Yards Beyond Mark and Lands Safely. Hammondsport, N. Y., July 7. The Aerial Experiment Association's aero drome No. .1, the Curtiss June Bug, yesterday earned the right to have its name the first inscribed on the Scien tific American trophy for making an1 official flight of one kilometer in a straight line, measured from the point where it left the ground. After passing the -flag marking the' finish, the machine flew 600 yards fur-! ther. and landed at the extreme edge! of the field, near the railroad track, i About looo persons saw the trial. The June Bug crossed three fences an I described a letter ''S'' two thousand yards in length, in one minute and 4 seconds, at a speed of .'57 miles an hour, which followed a Uoo-yard flight in "( seconds. 1 The machine never behaved better. Hardly a brea'th of wind was stirring. The trial today is of great importance, as it is the first official test of an aero plane ever made in America. SOCIALISTS NOMINATE. MartinJR.jPreston, Now Serving Sen tence, Jfor President. New York. July 7. Candidates for president and vice-president of the United States were named and a plat form was adopted by the national committee of the Socialist party here yesterday. The ticket named is as follows: For president Martin R. Preston, of Nevada. Fir vice-president Donald Munro, of Virginia. The nomination of Freston for president was unanimous. The can didate was placed in nomination by I D. de Leon, who characterized the 'man he was naming as an "honest , working man, not a professional work ing man,'' and added, "the name of that man is Martin Preston, and he is now in jail at Goldfield, New Pres ton is in jail today for conduct that is honorable, and which no working man should be ashamed of." De Leon explained that Preston had been sentenced to 2," years' imprison ment for shooting a restaurant-keeper in Goldfield three years ago during a strike. Preston, De Leon asserted had acted as the protector of defense less girls, and by so doing his action enraged a restaurant-keeper named Silver. Silver, Mr. De Leon stated, "was shot by Preston while threaten ing to kill the latter." Big Fire in Port au Prince. Tort au Prince, July 7. A serious tire broke out here yesterday in the vicinity of the Palace and Senate buildings. The flames spread quickly, there being a high wind, and soon reached alarming proportions. Four hundred buildiTigs were burned, in eluding the courthouse and the prison All of the prisoners, who included a number of women, were taken to other quarters before the building took fire.

NEWS NOTES GATHERED FROM VARIOUS PARTS OF OREGON HARVEST HANDS PLENTY Pendleton"Full of Men Looking for Work on Farms. Pendleton. Harvest hands were never more plentiful in Pendleton and Umatilla county than they are today Last year it was almost impossible for the ranchers to get men to harvest their hay at the prices usually pre vailing for that kind of work. The city is now teeming with men willing to work at almost any price. , A peculiar feature of this year's conditions is that the men all seem to be strangers. There are few old faces among them, the men who are accustomed to come in year after year not having appeared. When these men arrive the situation from the la boring man's standpoint will be even worse, though the farmers are rejoic ing in the prospect of getting their help much cheaper than for a number of years. . Last year grain farmers were com pelled to plead with laborers to go f .work at anywhere trom o to ifb a j day. The "distance from town, the : number of hours and the liquid re freshments also figured. This year j conditions seem to be reversed. The working man is pleading with the farmer and asking for a chance to go to work at any price. The prevailing price is from $1.25 to $1.50 per day and there are plenty of men to be had at these figures. It is believed the large influx of men is from the east, having been thrown out of employment by the shutting down of mills and factories. CREAMERY FOR CLATSKANIE Farmers Sign Contracts for Output of Next Five Years. Clatskanie. A meeting of Nchalem valley farmers was held at Mist, nine miles from here, Tuesday afternoon, to make arrangements for the estab lishment of a creamery at that place. J. C. Lang, a practical creamery man from Wisconsin, has been working the proposition up among the far mers for the past three weeks, and has succeeded in interesting them to the extent of obtaining contracts for five years to take all their cream at within one and one-half cents per pound of the highest market price for butter, they also to put up su'table buildings and furnish the boiler for the operation of the plant. Between 4.000 and 5 000 gallons of cream are shipped monthly from this district to Portland creameries, and dairying is yet in its infancy. Oil for River Steamers. Portland. Two largo oil-carrying steamers, the Rosecrans anil Colonel E. Drake, the former towing a big three masted steel barge, also laden with oil, have arrived at the tanks at Ports mouth. (ireater quantities of oil are being I brought to Portland eaeli month mi the dozen or more of tank steamers that are regularly employed in the oil trade ! of the Pacific coast. The I-ioseerans jnnd Colonel E. Brake each have capac ity for about 40,000 barrels of oil. 1 This immense oil traffic has developed during the past few years. Ten years ago an oil tank steamer was unknown to this .port and there were no large tanks along the river for the reception of the immense shipments of today. Tn i those days the oil was brought here bv rail. The great increase in the demand for oil is due altogether to the fact 'that most power craft plying out. of here have discarded the use of wood 1 or coal for the liquid fuel which is much easier to handle, a great deal cleaner and not nearlv as bulkv. "Spotless 1 own." Grant's Pass A ladies' auxiliary to the Grant's Pass commercial club h is been organized with a large member shi: for the purpose of promoting civic improvement. It has already laid plans for beautifying the city More shade trees, prettier yard-, bet ter fences, wider sidewalks, cleaner streets and more roses and flowers are on the program. The recent suc cessful rose show and flower fe-tival was the resti't of the women's work. The unsightly billboards of the town will be attacked. The women will also assist the council in getting the streets paved. New Squirrel Killer. Weston. F.dward Anderson, living on the foothills near W'es'on, has originated a cheap and successful j method of exterminating squirrels, which have caused much damage in his locality. Locating a populous squirrel colony, he g"es out with an ! equipment of newspaper scrans sul phur and matches. At every hole he places a slip ot paper and a teaspoon fill of sulphur. Setting this afire, he covers the blaze with weeds and dirt. The result is that the squirrels are all smothered in their subterranean houses. One pound of sulphur will kill 200 squirrels. Bridge Over Necanicum. Astoria. County Judge Trenchard and Engineer V. A. Grondahl, of Portland, went to Seaside yesterday to investigate the feasibility of bridg ing the Xecanicum river near its mouth to complete the continuatiyi of the automobile road along the beach to Seaside. Mr. Grondahl had already secured tests of tin- river banks for the bridge foundations, and as soon as the measurements are for warded to him will prepare the plans for the proposed structure. Resume Work on Road. Ilillsboro. Several contractors re cently have been looking over the work on the Pacific Railway & Navi gation between this point and Tilla mook, and present indications are that construction is soon to be re sumed. The road is completed for about 20 miles out from this point. and six months' uninterrupted work would complete the grade and bndee building into Tillamook. EUGENE SUMMER SCHOOLS.

Crusade for Safe and Sane Celebra tion Comes to Naught. Chicago, July 0. Once more the annual barbaric orgy of death and mutilation, which masquerades tinder the guise of patriotic celebration of the nation's natal day, has passed, and the fearful cost has been counted in part. In many homes there is mourning for children who have met untime'y ends and adults whose lives have paid the penalty of wanton folly, while in darkened chambers and hospitals throughout the country lie thousands of maimed and suffering victims, some sightless and some disfigured for life, the work of the demon fire works. In Chicago, as elsewhere, despite the brave struggle in behalf of a "safe and sane" Fourth, there was scant improvement over previous Fourths, and the result of all the efforts toward reform can scarcely even be dignified I)'' the appellation of near sane. 1 lie death roll tor this years' i.iwi, )c .t, -.,,,..,,., ...... oiiii I i "'in ui i.-i ij.t, nun luv. iiiiuiir, .-iiii incomplete.
