Record Broken—Wright Ma
chines do Best.
Rheims, Aug. 24.—The spectacle of
six aeroplanes simultaneously winging
their flight in huge circles near the
plain at Bethany here today marked the
opening of aviation week. At the finish
there was a great burst of cheers over
this wonderful and impressive exh
bition.
Intermittent showers and high winds
prevailed, and the eliminating trials for
the selection of the French represeuta
tives for the James Gordon Bennett in
ternational cup, which is to be contested
next Saturday, were spoiled. Only L
Febvre, with a Wright bi plane, Blériot
Esnault Pelterio and Captain Forb
braved the gusty puffs. LeFebvre alone
succeeded in negotiating the complete
circuit of the course. He remained
the air for 16 minutes in a 25-mile
wind, breaking the speed record hereto
fore held by Tissandier, covering 10
kilometers in 8 minutes 55 4-5 seconds.
Of the others entered in the trials,
Blériot was only able to cover a suf
ficient distance to qualify.
Shortly before dark the rain smldenl
ceased and the wind fell to a dead
calm. The sky pilots soon were busy in
getting their machines out. Latham
was first away, ascending high from
the start. He passed the cheering tri
bunes at the height of 150 feet. Lam
bert, Sommer, Cockburn, I)e la Grange
and Fournier followed in quick sue
cession, and as Latham was complet
ing the first round, now at a height
of 300 feet, six aeroplanes, like sea
gulls, were hovering over the field.
Fournier was first down, falling head
on into a haystack as Lambert swept
around into the second lap, his machine
seeming to cut a brilliant rainbow.
Meanwhile LeFebvre started afresh
and was followed by LaBlanc, Bunau
Varilla, Tissandier, Forber, Blériot and
I ’aulham, 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
made four and LeFebvre and Tissandier
three circuits each.
LeFebvre concluded with a thrilling
demonstration of the maneuvering ca
pacity of his machine, circling around
the starting point, cutting several fig
ure eights and swooping down over the
people in front of the tribunes, Lam
bert finishing at the same time.
During this exhibition Lambert and
LeFebvre passed each other twice and
gave other evidences of control over
their machines. The Wright aeroplanes
alone completed the required three
rounds.
All the principal automobile manu
facturers have representatives here

The crop has been an excel

is of the best.
Outside buyers have
contracted nearly all the crop that will
be shipped, and local stockmen have

for sale. One Portland firm has bought
10,000 tons.
The hay is mostly alfalfa, timothy
and clover. There is some wild hay
and a small amount o f grain hay.
Other crops are in proportion to the
hay crop, and this year will be one of
the most prosperous ever known in
Wallowa county, owing to the comple

Mr. Jfvine has informed Secretary

“ A north gale which had been blow

the motors were working smoothly. On
the 13th the wind was still variable,
but Mr. Wellman decided to get the

“ The officers and crew of the Thalia
assisted in swinging the airship, which

The wind, however, again freshened
and at 6 o’clock in the morning Mr.
Wellman ordered the airship back into

ded—Pueblo Under Water and
Many Tourists Stranded.
Denver, Aug. 21.— Another cloud
burst at Four-mile creek, near Canon
City, last night made more disastrous
the Huod in the Arkansas river, which
since dawn yesterday threatened the
adjoining towns, washed out railroad
tracks and tied up many tourist trains.
The cloudburst was one of the heaviest
in that section and soon the river,
swollen by mountain torrents near
Canon City, had risen eight feet six
inches.
The trains o f the Denver & Rio
Grande and Colorado Midland railroads
were blocked at many places and
scores of tourists were delayed at Pu
eblo, Salida, Grand Junction and other
points.
The magnificent Royal gorge, where
the Arkansas river rushes through a
canyon nearly 3,000 feet deep, was a
scene of wild fury.
The water had
reached a level of the famous hanging
bridge. Many of the nearby canyons
were washed clear of tracks.
A t Pueblo last night the water was
splashing over the levee at the state
asylum grounds, and with a six-inch
rise the grounds of the asylum as well
as a large portion of the residence por
tion nearby will be under water.
Officials o f the Rio Grande state that
45 miles o f their track between here
and Salida. a distance of 100 miles, is
washed out and that it will be at least
a week before main line traffic can be
resumed.
B AKER'S CRATE R AC TIVE.
Vapor May Be Seen Rising From the
Mountain at Times.
Bellingham, Wash., Aug. 18.— Stor
ies o f Binoke seen arising from Mount
Baker’s Bnow-crowned dome following
the earthquake in this territory last
winter do not appear so far-fetched,
following the investigations made by
the Mazamas of vents in the crater of
the huge extinct volcano.
Secretary
John A. Lee, who returned to this city
today, declares that at a favorable
hour in the early morning he has no
doubt but that the vapor could easily
be seen from this city, 50 miles away,
with a good pair of field glasses.
The "ven ts” in the crater appeared
especially active thiB year to some o f
the Mazamas.
Secretary Lee, how
ever, who ascended the mountain in
1900 and again in 1996, concludes that
on the whole there is not any increase
in the activity o f Bulphurous gases
blowing out of the so-called "ven ts.”
“ The actual crater of the mountain,”
said Mr. Lee, " is that portion lying
between the secondary peak and the
main peak. It is easy to see that the
peaks originally constituted the north
and south sides of the crater rim. The
easterly and westerly aides have been
broken and crumbled away by the ac
tion o f weather, thus leaving the val
ley or Bo-clalled ‘ saddle’ between in
between.
“ One of the active vents is situated
at the easterly end of this depression,
and the other at the westerly end. The
east vent is apparently by far the most
active, the westerly one consisting at
this time merely o f cracks and fissures
in the snow and ice through which the
vapors escape. The west vent, how
ever, consists of a hole extending down
into the snow to the porus rocks be
neath. It is perhaps 20 to 30 feet in
diameter. The vapor puffs out inter
mittently, rising up in dense clouds,
and the snow is crusted with Bulphur
deposits. I am inclined to believe that
most o f the visible vapor is merely
steam arising from the overheated
rockB, though the gases sometimes are
almost overpowering.

Selecting Crater Lake Route.
Klamath Falls—B. F. Herdil, the
government engineer who has been
sent from Washington to make the
preliminary location of the road from
Medford and Klamath lake, has re
turned to the city, after spending
several days looking over proposed
routes to Crater Lake, both on the
east and west sides of Upper Klamath
river. Engineer Herdil has not suffi
ciently compared the several routes to
justify a selection yet, and will spend
considerable more time -in his recon-
noisance before rendering a decision.
Before coming to this side of the
mountains he had carefully looked over
more than a dozen routes from Med
