FKIM SWITZERLAND TO RUSSIA
Soar Through Rain and Fog Across
Europe Taken by Russian Police,
Despite Passports.
Zurich, Switzerland, Oct 7. All
Zurich tonight toasted America and her
champion, Edward W. Mix, who, after
a remarkable and dramatic struggle
against wind and rain storms, has car
ted off first honors in the International
balloon race for the Gordon Bennett
cup by tailing from Zurich to tho heart
of the forest north of Warsaw in Rus
sian Poland.
It is calculated that Mix covered a
distance of between 1,045 kilometer
(648.94 miles) and 1,120 kilometers
(695.63 miles). Alfred LeBlanc, the
French pilot, is placed second, with a
distance of 834 kilometers (517.81
miles); Captain Messner, one of the
Swiss pilots, third, with 800 kilo
meters (496.80 miles), and Captain
Schaeck, another Swiss entry, fourth.
While there Is disappointment be
cause of the failure of the SwIm pilots
to repeat last year's victory, the gen
eral sentiment is one of satisfaction
that America haa taken the prize.
Mix had continuous rain and fog
throughout his voyage and saw the ran
for the first time as he was landing on
Tuesday morning. In a personal dis
patch to the Associated Press from
Ostrolcnka, he said:
"I landed in a large pine tree in the
forest of Gutova, west of Oatrolenka
and north of Warsaw, at 3 o'clock
Tuesday Burning. I encountered a
heavy rain. My ballast was exhausted
when I came down. At present I am
in the bands of the police, but all ia
going well.
"I bad bad weather Sunday night
It was cloudy and rain fell, and I used
half my ballast before morning. Tho
weather waa so thick that It was Im
possible to locate my position for one
hoar sooth of Prague."

CALL HALT ON SPAIN.
French General Says Other Interests
Are In Danger.
Paris, Oct 7. General A. G. L.
d'Amide, leader of the French expedi
tion In Morocco, in a sensational Inter
view In the Matin this morning, de
clares that the time has arrived for
Fron:e to call a bait on Spain's opera
tions in Morocco and to intervene to
save the economic and political inter
ests of Africa.
He declared French interests and the
tranquility of a large area are threat
ened and that Texaz, Morocco, which
is the natural outlet of a large area to
the Atlantic, is likely to fall Into the
bands of the Spanish. This would be
disastrous to French interests.
Italians Claim Hudson.
New York, Oct. 7. Contending that
in the discovery of the Hudson river
there is "honor eoungb for two," thou
sands of Italians paraded down Broad--way
to (be Battery thla afternoon
where they unveiled a statue of Giov
anni da Verrazano, whom historians
describe aa the first trans-Atlantic
voyager to arrive In New York harbor.
With no intention to belittle Henry
Hudson, Italians maintain that Ver
razano discovered the Hudson in 1524,
or 85 years before the time of tho
Moon's arrival.

UNCLE SAM TO PROTEST.
Sharp Practice of Japan Violation of
International Law.
Washington. Oct 8. Addttionnl
facts shedding light on tho diplomatic
situation which led up to the negotia
tion of the treaty between China and
Japan relating to thb reconstruction of
tho Antung-Mukden railroad were se
cured today from reliablo sources. This
Information only tends to confirm tho
impression that tho United States may
be called upon to protest against a vio
lation of the "open door" agrecmont
in China and discredits the report that
Charles It Crane, of Chicago, the now
minister to China, has rccn recalled
from San Francisco by Philander C
Knox, secretary of state, primarily for
tho purpose of receiving a reprimand
for alleged indiscreet remarks in ro
spcet to tho relations between China
and the United States. Such talk at
present merely beclouds what in the
opinion of those who know, is a serious
situation.
As previously indicated, tho crisis In
tho diplomatic situation in China is
not tho outcome of any one act or cir
cumstance. It is lesrned that negotia
tions between China and Japan had
proceeded for somo tlmo under the
watchful eye of the United States and
other nations, previous to the signing
of the treaty between China and Japan
early in July. At the time tho pact
was signed it is understood to have
been the belief of the state depart
ment based on information from Min
ister Rockblll at Pekln and from other
sources, that the question at issuo be
tween China and Japan would not be
definitely concluded for at least two
years. It is known that tho Cbineso
foreign office thought it would take
three years..
Acting on this belief, Mr. Rockblll
sailed for the United States on June
20, and Thomas J. O'Brien, United
States ambassador to Japan, sailed
from Yokohama on leave of absence on
June 26. To the surprise of the state
department, the treaty between Japan
and China relating to the reconstruc
tion of and concessions along tho South
Manchurian and Antung-Mukden rail
roads was signed early in Julyfover the
protest of China.
Had this event been expected, it is
not believed here that Mr. Rockhill
would have left his post at Pekin or
that Mr. O'Brien would have returned
home at that time, particularly when
the agreement between China and
Japan was believed even then to con
tain some provision inimical to the
"open door" policy in the Orient
It is said that diplomatic hints to
Jspan that a violation of the "open
door" policy was contemplated In the
proposed treaty were met with denials
It is Jiow understood that this treaty
gives an exclusive right to Chlneso
and Japanese only to exploit the mines
on both sides of the South Manchurian
and Antung-Mukden railroad. Further
more, it is said there is no limitation
as to bow far either aide of these rail
roads tbeto exclusive rights shall ob
tain. In either case, such-an agree
ment is regarded in Washington as a
violation, in spirit at least, of both
the Hay "open door" policy and the
Portsmouth treaty.
TAFT IN YOSEMITE.
Greatly Enjoy Stage Ride of 34 Miles
Through Nature's Glories.
Wawona, Cal., Oct 8. An all-day
stage ride over 34 miles of mountain
roads brought President Taft tonight
to this lovely little Sierra retreat Mr.
Taft and bis party reached the Wa
wona hotel in their stages at 5 p. m.,
one hour after the scheduled lime,
due to the lingering in the Grouse
creek forest nesr Chinquapin.
The day ride from El Portal, which
began at 7 a. m., included glimpses of
Yoscmlte valley, from Inspiration ard
Artist's Point, a pursuit of the tumb
ling waters of the Merced river into
the valley floor and a winding, narrow
climb tb the crest of mountains 7,000
feet high, which shut in the wonders
of the Yosemite. The day was bright,
the air like crystal and everywhere
was the exbllirating scent of tho pints.
News that the mountain lion were
infesting the park held out hope of ad
venture for a time, but not even the
tracks of one were seen on the road.
Chicago to Cut Salaries.
Chicago, Oct 8. A cut of 10 per
cent in salarlesiof all city officials and
employes of this city, from Mayor
uussa's si8,000 down to that of the
lowliest laborer, haa been agreed upon
by the mayor and department heads
for the next year. This drastic meas
ure was made necessary by the fact
that Chicago has not money enough to
maintain the payroll at its normal
level. Last year it was S15.000.000.
The cut, before becoming effective.
must be sanctioned by the city council,
where a fight against it is expected.

I OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
CO-OPERATIVE IRRIGATION.
Baker County Farmers Don't Need
Outside Capital.
Baker City Baker county has more
co-operative Irrigation projects than
any other county lit Oregon. There
are no largo ditch systems, tho farm
ers being banded together in small
groups, and co-operating In building of
inexpensive ditches and In tho division
of the water therofrom. Very much
the same conditions aa to the case with
which water ts utilised for Irrigation
provall in Eagle and Pine valleys
whoro a superabundance of water Hows
from tho mountain gorges which has
in It power enough to run tho machin
ery of a small empire Tho Lower
Powder has several systems which
havo been expensive, built by private
farmers and corporations, and which
irrlgato tracts of alfalfa land. In
Burnt River valley aro a number of
private ditch companies irrigating bot
tom and foothill land, which produce
good results but which are compara
tively inexpensive.
Tho largest irrigaiion system in
Baker county Is that which covers the
bench lands on the east side of Baker
valley, beginning about eight miles
above Baker City and extending in a
northerly direction and terminating at
present about flvo miles northeast of
tho city with the probability of It
being extended Inter and covering the
whole east sldo of the valley. This
canal has been built at a large expense,
having been cut nf solid rock for a con
siderable distance along the mountain
side. In a distance of 28 miles of
canal there haa been used only about
400 feot of flume, and the work la of a
much more substantial nature than ia
ordinarily used in private irrigation
works.
FAIR TO. DE DETTER.
Gresham Makes Improvements In
Buildings for Coming Display.
Gresham Multnomah county's fair
promises to be the equal this year of
the two preceding ones. About 12,000
worth of the treasury stock has been
sold since the last fair, which has Cro
at cd an ample fund for maklug Im
provements. The sum of f 500 Is avail
able out of the state appropriation for
premiums on exhibits this year, which
sum will be Increased by the gate re
ceipts and the money from sale of con
cessions.
A large force of men are at work on
the new stock buildings and out-of-
doors pavilion. It Is intended to use
the main exhibit building for no other
purpose after this than to house the
displays of agriculture, horticulture
and art together with exhibits of bus
iness bouses. The now building will
be used as an auditorium and dance
ball and other public functions.
The r.ew stock pens will bo ample
and commodious and permanent, those
of last year having been torn down. A
nnw fence will be built around the
grounds and suitable booths will be
erected for small concessions.
Phones to Sound Fire Alarm. -McMInnville
This city Is Installing
the latest standard fire alarm system.
The apparatus, purchased from a New

or districts, to conform to the require
ments of the new system. An electric
bell striking machine will be connected
with tho automatic transmitter, which
will bo installed In the office of tho
McMInnville Local & Long Distance
Telephone company, and thus, for the
present, each public or private tele
phone belonging to that company In the
city will serve to transmit an alarm of
tiro Instead of the rtgular automatic
fire alarm boxes.
