six aeroplanes simultaneously winging
their flight in buge circles near the

ocning of aviation week. At the finish

prevailed, and the eliminating trials for
tho selection of the French representa

foro held by Tissandier, covering 10
kilometers in 8 minutes 0" 4 5 seconds.
Of the others entered in tho trial

(icient distance to qualify.
.Shortly before dark the rain suddenly
ceased and the wind fell to a den
caiin. iiio sny pilots soon were I'usy in

gulls, were hovering over the field,
Fuiirnier was first down, falling h

seeming to cut a brilliant rainbow,
Meanwhile LeFebvro started afresh
and was followed by Lalilanc, Iiunau
Varillu, Tissandier, Forber, Bleriot and
Paulhnm, until the entire air seemed
filled with mammoth birds.
Latham came down after finishing
the second round, the others gradually
dropping out until only three Wright
machines remained afloat. Lambert

demonstration of the maneuvering ea

Coos Bay Citizen Put Up Cash and
Want Work Finished.

was appealed to for help. The people
have subscribed 21,000 for running the
dredge and the port of Coos Bay has
guaranteed .o,ooo moro for its "main
tenance. Congressman Hawley has
wired to tlio war
mem, logetner with a protest ngn
tlio removal of the dredge. It is held
that the dredgo was built for use on
the Oregon coast at the instigation of
Coos Buy citizens mid should remnin
here. The channel in the upper bav
has been dredged part wav down, but
nil the shoals have not yet been re
moved and if the dredgo is taken away,
the work started will be left in nn in
complete condition. The dredgiiigs have
been lined to till streets and low places
in the city and without its further use
ortions of the city will be left un
finished. It was the understanding of
tho Coos Bay km1o that the dredge
was to remain hero as long a money

Not After Land Office.
Klamath Falls. Word has been sent
to the commercial organization at Lake
view that tho Klnmnth Chamber of
Commerce is not indorsing the move
ment to move the land office to this
city. This action was taken by tho lo
cal organization at a meeting of the
board of .directors, in order to maintain
t ho friendly trade relations existing
between the two towns.
The object in asking for the removal
of tho land office from Lnkeviow was
not to build up Klamath Falls end
Klamath county at the expense of Lake-
view, but to make it more convenient
for land owners under tho Klnmnth re
clamation project to make payment of
their water assessments. Under the pres
ent conditions the fees must be for
warded to Lnkeview, causing the water
users unnecessary expense and trouble.
