Airship at Portland Exposition Flies
Considerable Distance.

Portland, Ore, Aug. 24.-One of the
most successful airship flights in the
history of aerial navigation was made
at the Lewis and Clark exposition
yesterday, when the City of Portland

The vessel was in the air for half
an hour, during which time it covered
six miles without hitch, finally land
ing safely in identically the same spot
from which it ascended.
In making an exhibition squirt to
test the speed of the craft, a distance
of half mile was covered in a min

PitiabIe Condition of Orphans Sent
Into North Dakota.
Fargo, N. D., Aug. PA species
of serfdom for New York orphan chill
dren is predicted in this state by Su-
perintendent Hall, of the North Da-
kota children's home. There is a law
here prohibiting the importation of
needy or orphan children, but despite
this fact it is said that a coachload
of children has been secured in the
slums of New York and will be sent
to this state. The worst feature is
tlat the applicants for these children
are 27 Russian settlers. Some of these
have children of their own. Many re-
side miles from schools and the posi-
tion of the children will be little
above serfdom. Efforts will be made
to keep the children in the east.
Because of the flooded condition of
the wheat fields, which prevents the
operation of binders, few farmers
are having their over-ripe wheat cut
with moving scythes by hand. The
grain will be raked and threshed as
soon as dry. Wheat has begun to shell
and will be a total loss before the
fields will be dry enough for teams.
In other than the low sections harvest
is general.
