FLYERS SMASH

Smashing tho previous altitude
record for Oregon, which they hnd
established In Ln Grande In August,
Pilots Darker and Itcchtstulner ot
tho Iloml Aircraft corporation
climbed to a height ot 17,400 feet
nbovo son level Monday afternoon,
surpassing tho previous mark by
1200 feet. Alternating at tho con
trols, It took tho two pilots 45 min
utes to nttnln tho now record alti
tude, and flva mluutcu later they had
grounded at the Knotts landing field.
While in tho scrvlco both of tho men
who flow yesterday havu frequently
soared 22,000 foot, or better, abovo

planes.
Although Ilend was enjoying one
ot tho warmest days of tho mouth,
with hardly u breath of air stirring,
tho Tlyors reported zero weather
aloft, with a 30-mllo wind blowing
In the upper strain. Tho wind was
oven, however, and tho nlr free from
"bumps." Tho greatest obstacle to
rapid flight which wus encountered,
however, was tho Increasing rnrlfl
cation of tho ulr, making It Impos
sible to obtain enough oxygen to mix
with the gasnllno fur tho motor, nnd
resulting In slowing down tho num

BALKM, Bopt. 23. Ilecnusu of
tho ubsonoo of two of Its inomberl,
at tho meeting oC tho desert land

nctlon on (ho request of tho Central
Oregon Irrigation company, which
has u reclamation contract with the

ot segregation of approximately 140,
000 acres In Crook and Deschutes
counties.
Tho contract between tho stnto nnd
United Btatos government affecting
those lands expires October 17, and
If mi extension of time Is granted
tho transaction must have tint sanc
tion of tho department of the In
terior. The Irrigation service, ns now con

KiIi'IihIoii Pmlvlrit.
Jack I.atourelto appeared before
the board for tho Irrigation district
nnd protested ugalnst the proposed
oxtonslon of time for segregation of
tho lands In case they were to remain
under thu control of the Irrigation
company. (In said, however that tho
district would not object to the ex.
tension It It did not operate to ox-!
tend tho company's reclamation con
tract with tho stnto.
It was explained that thu project
Is now in litigation and that there
was u probability that tho Contra!
Oregon Irrigation district would tftko
over the holdings ot tho Irrigation
company. As n result of this It was
predicted that the Irrigation com
pany would relinquish control of
tho property. Members of the board
Indicated that the request for ex
tension of the segregation period
probably will be mado at tho next
meeting of tho body.

BEND DEALERS
TO CUT PRICE
AS JUSTIFIED
WILL FOLLOW MARKET
SAYS C. A. WARNER
FORESEE NO TOBOGGAN
Apparently Hiidden Itediiillon An
nounced y .Mall Order Houses
Ilased on Peak Prices l.oenl
Detail Cuts Made (Jrndiially.
"Tho merchants of Ilend will re
duce their prices ns tho mnrket Justi
fies," wns the declaration Tuesday of
C. A, Warner, president of tho Ilend
Merchants' association, when asked
regarding the probable local effect
of rocently announced quotations.
"There will be no radical slump,
howuver,"
Mentioning the apparently large
cuts Just made by mall order houses,
Mr. Wnruer pointed out Hint tbeio
reductions weru made from catalogue
prices which weru bused on April and
May quotations, when tho peak was
reached in the prices on n majority
of commodities. Purchases by lo
cal merchants were chiefly made in
the early spring, prior to the big ad
vance. Blnre then, as tho market has grad
ually fallen off In various lines, local
dealers luive paralleled wholesale and
Jobbers' reductions, so that the de
cline has been made gradually, with
no fuss or flurry, whllo mall order
houses, after their August slump In
business, nniiounco the difference be
tween September prices and tho peak
prices of April and May. This pro
duces tho Illusion of n sudden drop,
when, In reality, the change tins como
by degrees, Mr. Warner believes, nf
tor n careful study of thu situation.
WlioloMile mt Not liffertlvr.
Moreover, new wholcsnlo quota
tions offered to retailers nro not to
be tnken as nn Immediate Indication,
for these new prices ore for spring
delivery, (lends cannot be had at
tho reduced figures until spring, nnd
It follows that tho cuts quoted by
trado journnls will have no reflex
locally until goods now In stock can
bo replaced with the lower priced
commodities. As n mnttor of fact,
Mr. Warnor snld, the prices now list
ed for spring delivery aro tho same
as those prevailing Inst Mnrch, Just
boforo tho rapid ndvnnces ot April
and May began.
Luxuries, such ns silk, It it pointed
out by Ilend denlers, hnvo nlroady
met their fnto, but woolens, (Ino lin
ens nnd cottons, nro not "dropping
to earth," nor will there bo n marked

tiles will show practically no chaugo

It has boon absolutely necessary to

Engineering work on which the
