Special to The Washington Herald.
Norfolk, Va, May 1S-Wi1bur Wright,
Of Wright Bros, who have made many
successful fights with their flying ma
chine at XIII Devil Hill In the last two
weeks. was in Norfolk late this afternoon,
bound for New York, and presumably for
Europe. TO negotiate with governments
for the sale of aeroplanes for the purposes
of war.
MI Wright says that he and his brother
have solved the problem of aerial naviga-
ton with machines heavier than air, and
that it is now only a question Of famil-
larizing themselves with the operation Of
the machine.
Well, you seem to have solved the
problem Of navigating the air with a
machine heavier than air, was the
hypothetical question put TO Mr.. Wright.
Problem Is solved.
we consider We did that several years
ago" was his reply. Our recent ex-
periments had no connection with that.
but TO obtain familiarity with the opera
ton Of the machine.
DO you consider your experiments at
Kill Devil Hill successful?" Mr.. Wright
was asked
Yes, quite" was his rep'y.
Are you or your brother, or both of
you, going abroad shortly?' was the
next question put.
AS to our future plans. We prefer to
say nothing at this time" he replied
Finally Mr.. Wright was asked: Have
you anything to say at this time relative
to the challenge of Henry Farmen TO
you and your brother for a distance speed
race. to take place in France, for 5000
stakes?'
Has Nothing To Say.
His only reply was: mo, I have moth
ing to say about that
From what Wilbur Wright said later
while at dinner at the Monticello Hotel,
it would be inferred that he does not con-
slider Farmen in the same class with him
self and brother as navigators Of the air.
He evidently does not think M. Farmen
has ever accomplished very much.
You fellows" said Mr.. Wright. mean
ing the newspaper correspondents. "ex-
aggerated the injury sustained by the
machine when 1t was wrecked. As a mat
ter of fact, the total damage did not
amount to more than $50 True, it was
put out of business, but that accident
could hardly be elassed as a wreck, -
AS souvenirs of the mishap, Mr. Wright

In the Interest of Fair Play.

In another part OF this issue we
publish report prepared by State
Treasurer Hastings showing the
manner of doing business in that Of

ness of the charges that have been
made against him by the Boise
considerable space but we give it sim
ply in the interest of fair play. Treas
urer Hastings has been attacked by
the leading mugwump newspapers of
the state, not in the interest of the
taxpayers; not in the interest of well
fare of the state, but solely in the in
terest Of the Statesman. 1t is a well
known fact that the Statesman has no
use for any one be he a private citi-
zen or a public officer unless it can
use him in the interest of that paper
and the patronage he can bring it.
Every citizen of the state who has
kept in touch with the policies of the
Statesman for the past ten years
knows these things. Mr.. Hastings has
conducted the office of treasurer in
accordance with the law, just as far
as it has been possible to do SO; if
he carries out the strict letter of one
law he will violate another; the fault
| Is in the construction of the law.
| When the legislature undertakes to
amend law it does not go far enough
and see whether it will conflict with
some other law.
For the past two months the
Statesman has been making a bitter
and uncalled for attack upon Mr.. Has
tings and the only defense he has is
the press that wants to see fair play
This is the reason the Register pub
fishes this report. Mr.. Hastings has
made a faithful and efficient officer
and having held but one term has 6
desire to be renominated. He is en-.
titled to denomination and the attack
the Statesman has made upon hin

HANDY PENDING TROUGH.

those used on wagon box to hold
sideboards and put an iron rod through
the staples. Swing the door out to the
edge Of the trough. Bore hole in the

on the inside edge Of the trough to let
the rod drop in. Now your trough is

the outside of the trough, drop the rod
in the hole, and your trough is inside

WOOD RACK.

Bore holes one and three-quarter
inches in diameter, two and one-half
feet apart the entire length OF the
poles. Into these fit small poles to
form the bed of the rack. Now bore
holes for the upright stakes close to
the crosspieces. Cut the stakes four
and one-half feet long and fit them.
When this rack is used the poles
should be piled on lengthwise, while
for cord wood the timbers are laid
crosswise. The rack is also very
handy for hauling fodder, as the bun
dies can be piled up crosswise and
kept in very good shape for unloading.

Alcohol Versus Gasoline.

In the spring Of 1906 the national
congress passed an act which became
a law Jan. permitting the withdrawal
from bond, tax free, Of domestic alec.
hol when it was denatured or rendered
unfit for human consumption by the
addition of certain materials repug-
nant to the taste and smell. The pas.
sage OF this law has aroused much
speculation as to the possibilities of this
new fuel. The experiment station COM
pared gasoline and alcohol with four
objects in view-viz, "a the heat value
Of the fuels; (2) their economy in the

Joint Teachers Institute.

There will be joint school teach
ers' institute held in Boise September
z to II inclusive. Ada, Canyon, Owy-
hee, Boise and Washington will take
part in the institute. This is the first
joint institute to be held in this part
of the state. The benefits to be deriv-
ed by the joint system is that by COM
bining several counties, more and bet
ter instructors can be obtained, as
the expenses are borne by the sever
al counties. In all probability there
will be several hundred teachers pres
ent. Among the professors who are
so far secured are Professor Elwood
Kemp, teacher of history in the In
diana State Normal; Miss Newland,
who will have charge of English and
literature; DR.. Charles A. McMurray,
authority on general methods of reci-
tation and geography. Miss Mae Read
Pierce of Chicago will discuss music;
Miss Pearl Martin of the Boise High
School will have charge of the music
rendered during the institute. Miss
Julia Capwell will discuss primary
work. Other instructors will be Sc
cured for various branches not yet
decided upon. The coming institute
promises to be the most successful OF
any ever held in the state.

ton about entering into new con-
tracts, despite the easy money mar
ket,, and indications, outside of wool,
of revival in commercial and indus
trial activity.
No Advance in Prices.
Notwithstanding the steady rise in
prices to the grower for new wool,
with special reference to the trans
actions in Montana, where at Miles
City early this week 1SAc and 1S4c
was paid, there is no apparent SIM
liar tendency on this market. At 1870
for Montana wool the cost in Boston
is in the neighborhood of 20Ac. Sales
original bags have been made at 19c.
The Boston market is firm. for such
wool and for all staple descriptions,
but it is plain that there must be
considerable advance in values if deal
ers are to come out whole on their
late purchases. The chance for such
advance, Notwithstanding the firmness
abroad, are slim unless the goods
situation materially improves. Prices,
however, are low compared with
those Of year ago, and with the cost
| of importing similar woods, so that the
situation may develop here as it has
abroad, where it is said experienced
| traders have come to the conclusion
that the best of all reasons now OBJ
tains for stocking, namely, very low
| prices.
In this connection a comparison of
prices of few of the leading grades
Of domestic wool now with those rul-
ing at the corresponding period last
year is interesting. sa follows:

Busy Bees.

The Technical World gives interest
ing figures on the value of the bee in
dustry in this country.
Last year it is said three hundred
billion bees made enough honey to fill
train Of cars long enough to reach
from New York to Buffalo, and the
product, at the low wholesale rate of
ten cents a pound, was worth $685.
100000.
Not only did the little workers con-
tribute that vast supply of pure and
delicious food product to the nation,
but as they made it they treated it
antiseptically with formic acid, thus
preventing impurities or decay.
1t is astonishing what small insect
can accomplish when laboring indus
triously, and, one may say, intelli-
gently. and in cooperation with others.
That Bookkeeping is not entirely
without danger, is attested by the
fact that the bees soemtimes kill. Ac-
cording to telegraphic accounts two
persons have been killed this month,
in this country, by bees. One of the
victims is Erastus Burr, IS years old,
formerly a selectman of Norfolk, who
died only few days ago. The insects,
the account says, attacked Mr.. Burr's
wife and Orbey Snow. Mr.. Burr at
tempted to drive off the bees and was
stung so badly that he had to take to
his bed He recovered sufficiently to
be about his house, but his condition
suddenly changed and he died.-Ex.

Boston Wool Market.

The lull in trading continues. Only
a small number Of fresh contracts
have been concluded this week, and
most of them are for unimportant
quantities. There is general sam
ping trade, manufacturers getting
ready to supply their possible require
ments, but until the goods situation
develops activity, no business of i'm
portance is expected in raw material,
as consumers are not disposed to an
ticipate their wants except In certain
specialties, such as medium and de-
laine fieeces, the need of which is
quite certain and the supply avail
able none too large. While salts

some quarters as to the condition of

All cellars for the storage Of fruit
and vegetables should be as cold as
possible without freezing and should
be aired as often as the outside tenn

THE MAN, NOT THE FARM.

The vast difference that is often no
ticeable between the general appear
ance as we'll as the productiveness of
farms lying side by side or in the same
neighborhood is quite likely more due
to difference In the proprietors and the
methods they follow In the conduct of
their respective farms than to any
original difference in fertility of the
soil. An intelligent and farsighted
farmer can bring naturally poor farm
up to fair state Of productivity. while
a negligent and shiftless one can. with
a good deal less effort, bankrupt a nat
urally fertile one and make 1t an IN
desirable piece of property.
