OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
Bcthency Aviation Field, Rholmt,
Aug. 20. Another sensational exploit
was added to tho marvels of aviation
week today when Paulham, tho plucky
French aviator, broke, tho world's rec
ord in a wonderful night of 2 hours 63
minutes 24 seconds for tho Prix do la
Champagno in a Voisin biplane. Dur
ing 0 Minutes of tho tlmo Paulham
had n heavy rain and wind storm to
contend with.
Tho previous official record for timo
in tho air was mado by Wilbur Wright
nt Lemsns, December 31, 2 hours 20
minutes 23 1-5 seconds. Tho unofficial
record was 2 hours 27 minutes 25 sec
onds made by Sommcr at Marmcllons.
Paulham's new record for distance was
about 134 kilometers, or S3 miles. Ho
mado 13 circuits of the courso and tho
wind squall passed as ho was coming
down tho homo stretch for tho last
time.
Simutanously, tho dirigible Colonel
Renard appeared to the westward, plow
ing its way majestically through the
smoko of tho city of ltheims. When
Paulham finally camo down, it was be
cause the SO lares of essence which ho
carried in his tank was exhausted. Ho
said tho machine and self-cooling motor
had stood up perfectly and that it could
have continued indefinitely if tho tank
had been replenished.
."so one who witnessed tho flight now
entertains the slightest doubt that
aerial navigation with heavicr-than-nir
machines has a glorious future.
Starting in a 12-knot breezo shortly
before 4 o'clock with the avowed, inten
tion of completing the SO kilometers be
fore S o'clock to bar his less venture
some rivals, who desired to await
calmer air, Paulham not only accom
plished his original purpose, but con
tinued to circle the vast plain until his
tank was empty.
HAVOC WITH MOORS.
STRIKERS AS SHARPSHOOTERS
Civil War Continues at McKees Rocks
Urged on by Debs.
Pittsburg, Aug. 20. The town of
Schoenville, where tho Pressed Steel
Car company strike is in progress, has
sjisufed a civil war appearance instead
of a town riot-gripped. Sharpshooters
are in the woods on the heights abovo
tho works. Troopers, heavily armed,
parade all the streets.
A great searchlight, mounted on top
of the plant, with tbo operator pro
tected by a sheet of steel, Is constantly
revolving tonight to discover any effort
to break inside tho stockade and to spot
sharpshooters. The state troopers have
laid asido their maces and ride out of
tue stockade with rifles across the pom
mels of their saddles.
The entire community bears a grim
aspect. Both sides are waiting for some
move that will bring on conflict. Ku
gene Debs, the socialist leader, today
urged tho men to fight to a finish, and
they are determined that they will not
leave the community or givo in. Arms
are being purchased at gun stores and
there is fear tho near future will bring
about a conflict that will startle the
contry.
Daring tho early hours this morning
several shots hit the metal shield erect
ed by tbo deputies for protection against
fusillades out of the dark. Tbo marks
men were on a high hill about a quarter
of a mile distant from tho works. Only
the poor ability of the marksmen pre
vented the loss of several lives today.
The state troopers will not permit
any one to stop and talk. The foreign
ers must remain at a distance or in
doors, but they aro stubborn end re
vengeful. Further adding to the wnrlike ap
pearance of the stockade, Lieutenant
Charles P. Smith and 25 troopers today
went to a largo tenement-house in
Preston, Tho place was surrounded
and squads were detailed to search
the apartments of 20 families. Three
rifles, ten revolvers, ten knives and a
macbeto wero confiscated.

GOOD INTENTIONS GO WRONG
Scarcity of Salmon In Rivers Attrib
uted to Killing of Sealtons.
Astoria. Although the slaughter of
sealions has been carried on systemati
cally for some yenra and hns received
the snnction of the state authorities ns
being a means of getting rid of one nf
the greatest naturnl enemies to the
salmon, there is a well defined oppo
sition to the practice being continued
growing among some of those who havo
been directly interested in the Ashing
Industry tor several years.
They nssert that whilo the sealions
exist on salmon and destroy many of
those fish, they nlso drive the fish into
the river, nnd that otherwise the salmon
will not enter fresh wnter until they are
ripo nnd ready to spawn. To substan
tiate their contention these men say
that n similar case occurred in Norway
some years ago. There the government
took up the work or destroying certain
natural enemies of the salmon and tho
result was that the fish stopied entering
the rivers in schools or ''runs." but
straggled in much as they havo dono in
the Columbia this season.
This year there wero hundreds of sen-
lions killed off the muith of the Colum
bia nnd many more wero frightened
away, and tho runs of salmon havo been
small. At Tillamook nnd Nehulem thera
wero large numbers of sealions and more
Chinook salmon wero caught there than
ever before.
Big Timber Sale In Linn.
Brownsville. The largest sale of tim
ber laud recorded in Linn county for a
number of years has just taken place
here, tho lands involved in thu transfer
being known as the Martin tract, owned
by local people, consisting of approxi
mately 2&U0 acres, situated on tho north
slope of tbo dlvido between the Cain
poola and Mohawk rivers. The prico
paid for this land was close to $15,000,
the purchaser being the crosmi ximucr
company, of Portland. It Is surmised
that tho land goes into tho hands of
simulators. Brownsville is only four
and a half miles distant from tho land.
Tho land is admirably situated for log
ging and milling.

Tho sewer for tho fnir grounds was

struction of the canal to Marehlca. If
this falls, Dm task uf the Spaniards will
bo grenler, as all tho supplies must be

Mince the earthquake of 1S04 closed
the exit to the sea, tho water at Mnr
chlca has evaporated and receded. By
reopening tho channel, the Spaniards
hope to raise It to the former level,
making It navigable for transports. Tho
success of this will enable General Ma
rina to feed the army by way of the
sea.
Many feel that a lltte more dash to
the enterprise would have been advlsl
hie, but the memory of I'lnto's reverse
appears to havo sunk deep Into the
general a mind.
The fact that no attempt Is permitted
lo dislodge the enemy has resulted In
more daring tactics on the part of the
Moors each day, which might be
checked If the Spaniards sent out a few
sharhooters. there Is a strange fear
of some lurking trap like that luiu
