Count Iumbeccnri. the balloonist, had
at least two warnings Of the terrible
fate that finally befell him. Twice his
balloon descended In the Adriatlc sea.
and he was only rescued from the
waves when death seemed certain. But
Nemesis overlook him one September
day In 1912. When he was descending
after n trip from Bologna his balloos
caught fire when about 100 feet from
the ground. The count leapeG from the
ear and was picked up dead, while his
companion suffered terrible injuries.
from which. however, he recovered.
Less than three months after this
tragedy two French aeronauts, DE Eo-
zicr and Roman, attempted to cross
the English channel from Boulogne In
4 gas balloon thlrty-seyen feet In diam
ctcr beneath which was suspended
smaller fire balloon. When the aero
nauts had ascendcd about 1900 feet
the spectators were horrifcd 10 see the
balloon burst into mass of flames
and drop toward the earth with the
speed of a spent rocket Rozicr VIZ
dashed TO pieces and killed on the
spot, aud Roman only survived Il few
minutes.

irrigation tract, soon to be opened to
settlers, and hundreds of homeseekers
were on hand to submit their affida-
Wits. One week IS to be allowed in
which to file applications and on
Wednesday of next week the drawing
will begin. On that day the govern

system. The tract is located IL miles
east of here and was formerly a res
ervation for the Crow Indians. 1t Is
crossed by two great railway systems,
the Northern Pacific and Burlington,
affording unusual facilities for trans
porting crops. The government has
built a highway parallel to the rail-
road, affording a direct line to travel
up and down the valley. At short dis
tances along the railways the govern
ment has laid out townsites, and these
are so located that no farm is more
than two and half miles from a ship
ping point.
The soil OF the region is Of remarka-

Attorney Rudolph Won Tobel of this
city, says Lewiston, Mont, letter.
Several years ago Mr.. Won Tobel,
while visiting that section, learned OF
the remains of a mastodon having
been found there and he went down
with Professor Waite to investigate.
Instead the skeleton of the great
saurian was unearthed, 45 sections of
the vertebrae being located at regu-
lar intervals with many of the other
bones.
The professor also found the bones
of another extinct animal, but they
we're SO imbedded with rock that lit
tie could be learned Of 1t at that time.
This latter skeleton is probably prac-
ticaily complete and is a rare scien-
tific treasure.
In addition to these the visitors
secured fragments of the remains of
a much larger animal than either of
these and it is apparent that the
ranch is a regular graveyard of ex-
tinct animals existing many centuries
ago. The find is of the very high
est scientific value and will doubtless
attract wide attention among scien-
tistr 1t is all the more interesting
from the fact that while the locality
is exceedingly rich in these very spec

HOMESTEAD RULING
SECOND ENTRIES MAY BE
MADE ON GOOD SHOWING.
People Who Filed on Land But
Abandoned 1t Before April 2s, 1904,
May Again File Homestead Entry
Under Recent Ruling-Ruling Of
Interest to Many Umatilla County
People.

A decision of much importance to
many Umatilla county people has just
been issued from the general land Of
flee regarding. second homestead en-
tries and full texts of the decision will
be sent out to the newspapers soon,
from the local land offices throughout
the west.
Since the reclamation act has been
put into execution many people who
once filed homestead entries but for
some reason abandoned the same,
have wondered If they had not another
chance to secure a home under the
reclamation act However, the ruling
Just sent out bars all those who have
filed and abandoned their homesteads
since April 2S, 1904, but where a prop
er showing Is made those who aban-
doned a homestead for good and suf-
ficient reasons before that time, may
again make entry after furnishing full
proof of their good intentions.
A Washington dispatch says of the
new ruling which is now in effect:
The general land office, with the
approval of the secretary of the inter-
ior has issued a circular to the Local
land offices and the public generally
relating to the matter of allowance
of second homestead entries.
The only general law under which
second homestead entries may be al
lowed is that of April 2S, 1904, which
is applicable to those parties who
made and lost, forfeited and abandon
ed their entries prior to the date o.
the act, because of an honest mistake
as TO the character of the land, or al
unavoidable complication Of persona
or business affairs. Full instruction.
are given in the circular as to th'
proofs which must be submitted b!
those who believe themselves entitled
to second homestead entries.
The department holds that 1t !
without authority to allow secon'
entries to those who fo-feited thei
entries subsequent to April 2S, 1904
or to allow second homestead entrie
in any case where a valid origina
entry was made. in the absence of leg
islation expressly authorizing secon
homestead entries.
