the chiefs Of divisions on Saturday
night, when the first f,rward movement
was undertaken. The troops slept in
their blankets to the eastward of the
Russian position Saturday night and at

given.
The Japanese were formed in three
lines, while the artillery had been posted
in right angles to the fort SO that its Gre
would prove most effective. The mount
ed infantry and regular cavalry were
posted west of Pintu with orders to
guard against any attempted flanking

APPROACHING EXPERIMENT OF
ELGIN FLYING MACHINE
Grant Kees, the Inventor, Is Me-
chanic of Ability and an Ex-
Railroad Man.

Y La-Grende,s -5uHe~8e The people of
Union county are anxiously awaiting
the trial trip of the flying machine that
IS bei6g invented by Grant KEGS Of El-
gin. Mr.. Keys las been at work on this
aeroplane for some months, and has it
now SO far put together that he has been
able to move it to La Grande and has
placed it 100 feet in the air at Morgan
lake, three miles from the city He is
waiting his propelling machine which
he expects to arrive at any time from
Massachusetts, before making the final
test.&
TIE propeller is to be specially con-
structed oscillating gasoline engine de-
veloping Is horse power and weighing
less than 100 pounds, with the prepelling
arms extending beneath the lower plane.
The machine will move through the air
with the 40 feet length to the front. The
aeroplane has been tested as kite and
In light wind will raise 100 pounds
from the earth, without the engine, and
requires five or six men to hold it down
in moderate breeze. 1t will weigh,
complete with the engine, about $50
pounds, and has an area of 1880 square
feet of canvas.
This aeroplane consists of two hori-
zontal planes of 10-ounce canvass 16x40
feet in area, joined together, one above
the other at distance of 10 feet, with a
frame work of Oregon fir, made from
pieces inch square and solidly braced
in every direction with light wire.
| Keys is an old railroad man, having
fired an engine out Of La Grande on the
0. r. & N. for number of years, and is
a fine mechanic, and the people of East
ern Oregon have much faith in the sue
cess of his aeroplane.

Texas for vice-president.
The platform declares the destruction
of the present legalized sale of alcoholic

Venturing into broader fields, the
platform declares in favor of the i'm

and wise adaptation OF the principles of
the initiative and referendum and inter-

corning this and some of them gave
answers favorable to Mr.. Taylor and
some to Mrs. Taylor.
Judge Fee, attorney for Mrs. Tay-
lor, created furor when he addressed
the court, explaining how and why they
had reasons to believe that the plaintiff
was trying to evade the law in regard to
witness, saying that the defense believed
George Bradley of Athena, a witness
badly needed by the defense, had been
spirited out Of the state by the plaintiff.
Mr.. Peterson refuted this.
