Speed Record Broken— Wright Ma- chines do Best. Bheims, Aug. 24.— The spectacle of six aeroplanes simultaneously winging their flight in huge eirelea near the plain at Bethany here today marked the opening of aviation week. A t the finish there was a great bunt el-sheen over this wonderful and impreeaive exhi bition. Intermittent showers and high winds prevailed, and the eliminating trials for the selection o f the French represents tives for the James Gordon Bennett in ternational enp; which is to be contested next Saturday, were spoiled. Only Le Febvre, with a Wright bi-plane, Blériot, Esnault-Pelterie and Captain Forber braved the gusty puffs. LeFebvre alone succeeded in negotiating the complete circuit o f the course. He remained in the air for 16 minutes in a 25-mile wind, breaking the speed record hereto fore held by Tissandier, covering 10 kilometers ia 8 minutes 55 4-5 seconds. O f the others entered in the trials, Blériot was only able to cover a suf ficient distance to qualify. Shortly before dark the rain suddenly ceased and the wind fell to a dead calm. The sky pilots soon were busy in getting their machines ' out. Latham was first sway, ascending high from the start. He passed the cheering tri bunes at the height of 150 feet. Lam bert, Sommer, Cockburn, De la Grange and Fournier followed in quick suc 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- oa 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 Paulham, 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 o f the maneuvering ca pacity o f his machine, circling around the starting point, cutting several fig ure eights and swooping down over the people in front o f the tribunes, Lam bert finishing at the same time. During this exhibition Lambert and LeFebvre passed each other twice and gave other evidences o f control over their machines. The Wright aeroplanes alone completed the required three rounds. A ll the principal automobile manu facturera have representatives here watching the contests with a view to embarking into the manufacture o f mo tors. Lieutenant Commander F. L.

Camp Wellman, Spitzenbergen, Aug. 15 (via Hammerfest, Aug. 28).— Walter Wellman’s second attempt to sail over the North Pole in a balloon has resulted in s failure. The giant dirigible bal loon “ America,” in which Mr. W ell man and his party of three set out, proceeded about 32 miles from the stw ting point, when disaster overtook it. A fter a long preparation and wait ing for favorable weather, the oppor tunity came today, and Mr. Wellman decided to make the start. I t was 10 o ’clock in the morning when the great airship was brought out o f its shed and the daring explorers took their plaees in the car. When the anchors were cast loose, the airship ascended beautifully, the en' ginee were set in motion and everything seemed to work to perfection. The big air craft was manuvered for some time and answered the helm perfectly. Then its head was turned northward, and it set ont at a speed o f 25 miles an hour. Suddenly, after having covered 32 miles, and when everything seemed to be going splendidly, the leather.guide rope, to whieh was attached 1000 pounds o f provisions and stores, broke away. The accident occurred just as the airship was nearing the pack ice o f North Spitzenbergen. Released from this gTest weight, the airship shot upwards at a terrific pace, until it was a great height above the clouds. The pilots succeeded, however, in bringing her down near the earth, turning her about and set ont to fight their way southward against a strong wind. The airship proceeded slowly south ward to the edge o f the pack ice, where the steamer Fram was anchored. A fter much difficulty, a tow rope was gotten aboard the Fram, whieh started imme diately to tow the airship to Spitsen- bergen. The strain was so great, however, that it threatened to tear the car to whieh the rope was attached to pieces, and Mr. Wellman finally decided to bring the airship down to the surface o f the water. This was effected with out mishap and the car rested on the surface o f the water until all the mem bers o f the crew, the dogs and the sei entific instruments eould be transferred aboard the Fram. The America was then towed baek to the landing stage, and within a short distance o f where the start was made. Bnt the ill-luck o f the expedition was not yet at an end.. Just as the airship had reached the landing stage and ev erything looked favorable for its rescue without serious damage, a sudden gust o f wind caught the big bag broadside on, and snatched it away from its tow lines. I t was carried careening over rongh ice hummocks for some distance and then it exploded.

Wellman Win Try Again. Camp Wellman, Danes Island, Spits bergen, Ang. 16, via Christiana, Ang. 24.— To the general relief o f the mem bers o f the polar expedition, Walter Wellman, although disappointed at the mishap to his dirigible balloon, an nounced today that he was more de termined thsn ever not to abandon his plan. Mr. Wellman plans to build a new ship, longer ana narrower than that which exploded, and o f high speed.

University o f Oregon, Eugene— The second year of the correspondence study department of the University o f Ore gon has just closed with an enrollment of more then 860 students. This is a materiel increase over tbe number en rolled last year, and there ia hardly a county o f the state not represented among tbe students. In all respecta the resulta o f the work of the past year have been most satis factory, and the plans for the coming year include expansion in all depart ments. Dr. Herman Burr Leonard, o f the de partment o f mathematics, who has had a number o f years’ connection with cor respondence schools in the East, and who has been very successful in his cor respondence courses in mathematics at the university during tbe past two years, has been put in general charge o f ail correspondence work.

HUGE FARM PROFIT. C O UR SE T O BE IM PROVED. Albany— A . C. Armstrong, a farmer residing four miles northwest o f Plain- view and 10 miles southeut o f Albany, w ill realise a profit o f $4,800 on 120 acres o f vetch he threshed l u t w< Incidentally he w ill clear up about $6,- 000 this year on a farm o f 400 acres, for which he pays an annual rental o!' $600. Some other Linn county farm- era are doing almost u well, End farm ing in the Willamette valley is paying better this year than for many yearn. Armstrong had 140 acres in vetch this ye w . He mowed 20 acres o f it, and after storing his barns full of loose hay for his winter’s supply had enough left over from the 20 scree to bale 20 tons, which is worth $18 s ton. The vetch on the remaining 120 acres ' threshed for seed by the thresher anc cleaner o f P w k e r Bros., and Armstrong had 70 tons of threshed and cleaned vetch seed from his 120 acres. This is worth four cents a pound in the preeent market and after Armstrong pays al expenses of threshing, cleaning, etc., he w ill realise a net profit o f $4,800 on the vetch seed alone, to say nothing ol' tbe vetch hay he baled. In addition to his 140 acres in vetch, Armstrong h u 200 acres in spring oats, which is in splendid condition and wil doubtless return a big yield and give him an additional profit of several hun dred dollars for the p u t y e w ’s work. Hearing for Mount Hood Road. Hood R iver— The Mount Hood rail road had a hearing before the railroad commission here. Commissioners Aitch- eson and Campbell were present to take testimony. A general complaint o f ex cessive freight chargee had been filed. The Mount Hood railroad h u been ex empt from the power o f tbe state - rail road commission because the line is short.

Denver, Ang. 21.— Another cloud burst at Four-mile creek, near Canon City, last night made more disastrous the flood in the Arkansas river, which since dawn yesterday threatened the adjoining towns, washed out railroad tracks and tied op many tourist trains. The cloudburst was one o f the heaviest in that section and soon the river, swollen by mountain torrents near Canon City, had risen eight feet six inches. Tbe trains o f the Denver ft R io Grande and Colorado Midland railroads were blocked at many plaees and ■cores of tourists wore delayed at Pu eblo, Sal ids, Grand Junction and other points. The magnificent Royal gorge, where the Arkansas river rushes through a canyon nearly 8,000 feet deep, was a scene o f wild fury. The water had reached a level o f the famous hanging bridge. Many o f tbe nearby canyons were washed clear’o f tracks. A t Pueblo last night the water w a s ■plashing over the levee at the state asylum grounds, and with a six-inch rise the grounds o f the ssylnm as well as a largo portion o f the residence por tion nearby w ill be nnder water.

NEW GEY8ER RI8E8. Hurls Immense Volume o f Water In Yallowatono Park. Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone Park, W y a , Aug. 21.— For two or three days past there hare been indica tions o f an eruption o f some kind near Fountain hotel, Yellowstone park. Yesterday a new geyser broke out in full force about 100 foot north o f the regular Fountain geyser, near the ho tel. Today this now geyser, which does not appear to affect any o f the otiters in tbe vicinity, played to a height o f 160 to 200 feeL throwing immense quantities o f hot water and ■team. The new geyser does not play regu larly, as does "O ld Faithful,” but at short intervals, eruptions occurring five or six hours apart and lasting about one hour.

Mr. Heney has been nominated both by the Democrats and the Independence League, but California’s new primary law forbids that a candidate accept nomination by two parties. Further more, a candidate must be named by the party with whom he announced his affiliation at the primaries Mr. Heney is registered as a Republican. Mr. Heney says he does not want the office o f prosecuting attorney, but will, i f nominated and elected, sacrifice his business interests for the public weal in order to continue the war against the grafters.
