Eew Records In the Air.


Unusual interest attaches to the bal
loon contest at Berlin because OF great
strides made In aerial navigation In
this seasons tests. While among ex-
ports the balloon and the dying ina.
chine are separate propositions. the
public Is prepared 10 hear that either
style Of airshlp has solved the prob
lem Of aerial navigation, and consider
able burdens may be rapidly transport
ed anywhere. At present, however,
all alrships are popularity believed TO
be as erratlc as a broncho and as unre-
liable as an auto on the rampage.
Many nations prepared TO share in
the Berlin contests. In the remarka-
BILE flights Of the past few months
three nations have scored progress to
degree that Is inspiring Germany
with the dIrigible. France and Ameri-
ca with the aeroplane.
In the aeropIane tests OF the year II
has been demonstrated that successful
hight requires not merely a good ma.
chine. but a good operator. For years
the attention OF experlmenters has
been directed to the perfection OF the
machine. Whether heavier than air"
or Fighter than air." II must be sub

from St. Louis, In which several bal
looms moved many hundreds OF miles

knowledge OF aerial currents Is prime
factor In systematic baIloOning. This
Is an old theory. and the latter day
problem Is how to make the transfer
from unfavorable currents to favOra-

G. Morebeck of the Marble Greek
country, today brought into the city
a nice line Of agricultural and fruit
exhibits gathered from farms situ-
ated In that country. The exhibits
consist OF fine specimens OF potatoes.
fruits, vegetables, grains and hay.
They have been placed on display in
the windows OF the Barr Chain
ey company.
The lands from which the products
were gathered are situated In two
townships where the settlers have
been in litigation with the state.
The litigation has gone the full
4ength of the land departments and
in each case the decisions have been
in favor of the state. The settlers
now intend to carry the matter be-
fore the state legislature and see II
legislation can not be enacted look
ing to the REIMBURSEMENT Of the
states right to the lands in favor
of the settlers. According to the
statement OF Mr.. Morebeck every
legislator in the northern part Of
the county is pledged to work for the
enactment Of a law OF that character.

Coming Election Looked Upon as
Test Of Strength.
DENVER, COL, Oct. 21.-one of
the most important conventions of
the year will be held in Denver, be-
ginning November 8, when the Am
erican Federation of Labor will hold
its annual session. The sessions
will doubtless be Of the greatest in
terest, since it will follow the ma
tional election, and the result of the
Gompers declaration in favor of Bry-
an will be apparent. The coming
election is looked upon as a crucial
test of the political influence of or
ganized labor. If the results of the
federation's venture into politics
should not be satisfactory to the
rank and file of the members, an at
tempt may be made at the conven-
ton next month to return to the
old policy of abstinence from partici-
patton in political activities. The
socialist delegates will probably
make an attempt to GUST President
Samuel Gompers from the position OF
executive head of the federation.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 21.-
Definite announcement has been
made that Andrew Carnegie will be
one Of the principal speakers at the
National Rivers and Harbors con-
gress in Washington In December.
The steel magnate, 1t is said, has al
ready commenced work on his adj

sentation of the desirability OF the
extension and development OF water.
ways.
Andrew Carnegie, while not ac-
lively engaged in business, Is stiI
interested as a stakeholder In fac
tories and mines whose output runs
in the hundreds Of millions, and as
a shipper of iron ore, coal. steel, etc.
is peculiarly fitted to speak as a
citizen Of the United States upon
existing conditions in the transport
tation business of the country, and
the needs Of waterways to move the
bulkier freight.
Not alone as a citizen Of the
United States can Mr.. Carnegie speak
on the imperative needs OF better
water facilities for handling our pro-
ducts, but as a cosmopolite who has
made a study of water and rail- trans
portation of many countries, and as
the rest of the world Is a competitor
of the United States his recommends
lions for the improvement of our
waterways will emphasize the ad.

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 21.-The
police so far are without clue which
would lead to the identity of the as
sassin who killed Harry Butterworth,
prominent jeweler of st. John, a
suburb of this city. at his home last
night. Butterworth left his shop
last night at 8 o'clock, and a few
minutes later his family heard some
one fall on the front porch, and when
they went outside discovered Butter
worth lying wounded with a bullet
through his chest. He died a few
minutes afterward without giving
utterance to a word. The murderer
when he committed the deed was
standing close to his victim as the
dead mans clothes are covered with
powder marks.
