Herald. Some excellent advice to home steaders was given the other day by a field man who is connected with the general land office.

He shojld keep a memo randum so when the time comei to prove up his homestead and get a patent for It from the governmont, he can show where he was d.iring the five years necessary for him to live on the homestead to secure hit patent, how long he was away an.) what he was doing.

Another sensational ex ploit was added to the marvels of aviation week today when Paulham, the plucky French aviator, brjke the world's record in a sensational flight of two hours, 53 minutes and :! 1-1 seconds, during 20 minutes of which he was contending with a heavy rain and wind storm. The previoiu r ! ord was made by Wilbur Wright at Lemans December 31, in two hiur.i, 20 minutes and 23 1-5 seconds. Paulham's new record for the dis tance Is 83 milei. When In fiiiallv descended It was because his fuel was exhausted. He said the maihl.to and self cooling motor had al.o-j.l up perfectly and he could have ontliu- eu uiuecmileiy. No 0112 who witn vis oil the flight now entei tains the s'lght e3t doubt that aerial navialln.i with tli heavier th.in nlr machines hri a glorious future.' It was dark wha.i Paulhim ile scended gracefully In front of the Tribunes. The fence was torn down In the rush to reach him and he wit borne on the shoulders of some p? the most enthusiastic spactators to he box of MarciuM Pe Poilgnnc, tin president of the committee, to receive congratulations and have his health drank In champagne. In the mldit ot the mad enthusiasm Paulham's eye rested on a face in the crowd below, Instantly he stretched o.it his arms and In turning broke his way through the throng. A momant later he threw himself Into the arms of his wife. Paulham Is not an Inventor but simply an operator who tonight has taken rank as the world's greatest professional. The belief is unani mous that he ha wo.i the Prlss De Champagne today, but the manager of the Wright machine Intimates they will have a try tomorrow. L. A.
