No Other Language 8poken at French Flying School. The connection between aviation and Esperanto Is not apparent yet It must exist, for at Mourmelon le Grand, the grrat French aviation school, nothing la spoken by the Initiated among them selves but Esperanto. ' Ernest Archdeacon, who has done much for aviation by offering prizes. Is an advocate of the universal language. Henri Farman, wbo runs his school for flying at Mourmelon, Is a master of Esperanto, and among his pupils lu flying M. Effimoff, the Russian; M. Van den Bora- and Mme. Frank are prod cleut When the day's work Is over M. Far man will hoist the Esperanto flag over bis banger and give bis pupils lessons la the language. They are of all na tlonaltles. so perhaps that Is one rea son why aviators have taken up the language. QUEEN MOTHER DROPS COLOR Alexandra Gives Away Her Elaborate Court Wardrobes.

ESTiMATED BEET T0NNAGTT00 LOW WALLOWA HAS BETTER BEET LAND THAN UNION EXHIBIT AT FAIR. . A. C. Miller, preIdeut or the Wal lowa County Fair association, Is in receipt of the following communlua Uon from F. S. Bramwell, manager of the Amalgamated Sugar Co., at La Grar.de, whkh Is of general In terest to Wallowa county people: Mr. A. C. Miller Enterprise, Oregon. Dear Sir: in the matter of our making an exhibition at the Wallowa county Fair, we deiire to observe: We would liike a space from six to ten feat wide, in whilch we will erect a sort of pyramid of lumber con struction; and- exhibit beei'js from the various fields grown near En terprise and LosiUne. When we met the pubMc of your city last spring, we made certain statements concerning the tonnage that we believed could be grown on lands lu Wallowa coumty. We found a general prejudice against the beet culture, as you know, caus ed by the failure of the beet indus try In Union county. . We told' the people in this meeting that the con ditions were different and we be lieved good tonnage could' be grown in Wallowa county. I am very happy to Inform you and your associates, and to ackowledifie that we made a mistake at this meeting, in that we didn't plftce the tonnage high enough, because In nearly every field that we are oper ating save about three where we have made a mistake and got on the wrong kdnd of landwe are going to exceed our fondest anticipations; and exceed' the statements we made in some instances by DO per cent. I expect to ship some beets from UnJon county and place side by side with beets grown in your county' not with a view of knocking this county, but with the hope of prov ing to your people the splendid op portunities that are before them In the matter of raising 'beets. I also expect to battle beet juice and' show the process of manufacturing sug ar from the beet to the Mulshed article. It Is thought by some that beet sugar is inferior to that made from cane, and a general prejudice ob tains. The facts are, Mr. Miller, 'hat it doesn't matter ait all what tlie ground work of suigar Is, wheth er it be cane,- beets, plums, or any other article from which sweetness can be obtained, when dit reaches a degree of about 95 per cent puri ty It Is sugar and that Is all that can be sa!d about it. As a matter of fact the highest per cent of purity ever obtained li the United States, wa. had from beets. The highest per cent of purity from cane that 1 know anything about was 93 pr c nt, while from beats It has reach ed a point of 95.6 per cent. Very I'.ltlb difference, It is true, but It H In favor of beet sugar.. Again there Is 20 cents differential In price hi favor of the beet. We are very glad to participate In, the -matter of your Fair, and we may be pardoned at this time 'when we say that you will always find us public-spirited and willing to do our part, and a little more, looking to the development of the country where we are operating. We believe In good roads; 4n good, efficient, and yet economical government; and in everyway looking to the develop ment and enhancement of values In the country tound about. In' this, too, you must oonsller that we are entirely unselfish, so far as your territory Is concerned, for the reas on that we do not own a single acre of land. We shall be very glad to hear from you apprising us of the fact that the space te reserved; and we will endi a. man from here and fix It up In "apple pie" order. If you can offer any suggestions whatever or Indicate In any way that we 'can help you outside of the order we have outlined, you may command me. Yours truly, Amalgamate! Sugar Company. By F, 8. Bramwell, Manager. Don't overlook that sale on boys' clothing at W. J. Funk & Cos. We Klve free a pair of boys shoes with very suit sold, up to size 15.
