He is the guest of Mr. Powers, the Salem loganberry grow er, and was very much surprised at the Marlon county exhibit, and the panarama of Salem and the Willam ette valley showing the hop and prune industry, as put on by Prof. Schreiber. He studied it for an hour, and wants to take the whole panorama along to the Omaha land show and three other expositions, at Chicago, St. Paul and St. Louis. He secured Mr. Schreiber's terms for the panorama, and his personal assist anc. It will take eight week9 of con stant exhibitions, and will be seen by several million people in the heart of the Middle West, and would do more to advertise the vlilley than anything that has ever been done, in the opin ion of Prof- Chamberlain, who would use it as an adjunct to hi3 lecture.

Total wreck of the Wright biplane in which he hoped to win a $50,000 newspaper prize ror crossing, the continent, to day brought Aviator Robert G. Fowler's flight from Sani Francisco to New York to an inglorious end near this little mountain town. Fowler was uninjured. After his succcesful flight from San Francisco to Auburn yesterday, Fowler was supremely confident to day whin he started to tune up his machine at Auburn. He had some difficulty In starting from the rough ground on which he landed there, but finally got away at 9:34 this morning. All went well until Fow'er reached Colfax, which town he passed at 9:55 this morning. At that time he was 1000 feet In the air, and wa3 mafe Ing about 55 miles an hou; As Fowler neared this station he began to have trouble, and, feeling that his rudder was going wrong, he started to volplane toward the earth. Just as he neared the ground, the rudder went entirely wrong, and the machine crashed down on, a hill side, a short distance from the South era Pacific station here, piling itself up in a mass of splintered wood, twisted iron and rpnt canvaa Fowl er leaped from the saddle of the fly er just as it struck the earth, and, except for a few minor bruises, was uninjured. He was much disap pointed at the unlucky termination of his flight, but rejoiced to learn that his engine was only slightly damaged. The aviator refused to state pos itively when he would make an ef fort to continue his flight, but de clared himself undaunted by the mis hap, and declared that, despite the handicap he had suffered, he would still be the first to cross the continent through the air. After the accident Fowler said: "My vertical rudder quit for some reason, and all I could do was to go around in circles. I swung to the left In spirals, and then dropped. The machine hit a couple of trees,. dam aging the planes badly, although the engine is all right. My back Is wrenched, but there is not a bit of skin oft anywhere. It will take three or four days to rebuild the machine."
