RECORD FOR FLIGHT
ORRVILLE WRIGHT GIVES AN
 OTHER DEMON NsTRATION.
Tn His Heayier-Than-AIr Machine He stays Up At His Pleasure Reaches Altitude of 200
 Feet.

Washington, Sept, 1O-Orrville Wright today broke the worlds record for time and distance for heavier than-air flying machine which he es- tabljshed yesterday.
 In a flight requiring great skill on account of ten mile wind. he circled around the drill grounds at Fort Myer fifty eight times in sixty-five minutes and fifty-two seconds, exceeding the time of yesterdays record flight by tn rec minutes and thirty seven seconds. The flight was witnessed by nearly thousand people.
 Throughout the day the weather was threatening and MT. Wright did not ar rive at the field until after o'clock. At o'clock Mir. Wright announced that he was ready.
 Are you going to try to break the record which you made yesterday" he was asked.
 No" he replied. q am going up just for a little practice. I may take flight of ten minutes in order to de- termine at what rate of speed l have been flying"
 The aeroplane rose from the ground almost immediately after leaving the single starting rail. It continued to climb higher with each successive round of the field until 1t reached an altitude of seventy-five feet. For the first thirty rounds the machine flew as smoothly as on its previous flights, but from that time on 1t was seen to pitch at the turns as the stiffening breeze from the west struck it. As the machine moved from the north ern end of the field to the southern end, where the "aero garage" for stor- ing the aeroplane, Is located. MT. Wright kept it several points in the wind. A gust of wind. unusually strong, struck the aerial flyer during the forty-second round and it plunged sharply.
 Mir Wright then brought his machine lower. but on the fifty-third round he had reached an altitude of 200 feet.
 Mir Wright came down at the north ern end of the field at the end of the fifty eighth round, landing easily.
 T encountered stiff breeze" were Mir Wrights first words. His eyes siderable pain. q don't know whether the wind or dust causes the irritation of my eyes. I had on a pair of gog- gles too. Flying in a wind as I did today is lots of fun. It's much more sport than flying In a calm as on yes terday. The wind must have been blowing fifteen Or more miles an hour as could tell by the quartering of the machine. kept much higher than usual on account of the wind"
 Signal corps officers of the War De- partment today expressed the belief that Orrville Wright will make a speed of at least forty-two miles an hour with his heavier-than-ai machine. which did such excellent work at Fort Myer yesterday. If he does make forty-two miles an hour he will be en- titled to a bonus of twenty per cent over the contract price which would net him for his machine. $30,000. the contract price being $25.0o0
 The official trials will be held as soon as MT. Wright announces his readiness.

SAVING TREES.

Interesting Experiment Being Con-
 ducted in Mobile County.
 As illustrating the increasing inter- est in the Alabama laws for forestry preservation letter was received yes- terday by Hon. John H. Wallace. IT,. asking for the terms upon which the State of Alabama promises to exempt timber lands from taxation. The agents are the proprietors of some pine timber lands in Mobile County and with the tract they have been experimenting for four years with the view of guarding against fires.
 The letter follows:
 'St. Louis, Mo. Sept. 8. 1908. Commission of Forestry, Montgomery,
 Ala:
 ''Gentlemen-we are informed that an owner of forest land assessed at less than s5 per acre Is exempt for taxa tion for a term of ten years when the land is protected under certain regu- altions of the Commission. We desire to know the extent CT amount of land any one owner Is allowed under the exemption and the conditions required by the Commission from the owner of the land.
 we own some pine timber land in Mobile County, six miles efat of Cit- ronelle. which we have kept protected  There is already a marked difference in the appearance of the young trees and forest growth just outside of our fire guard Thousands of young pines are making their appearance all over the whole tract under protection.
 "The fire guard around the tact we own Is seven miles long and twenty feet wide. We find it can be maintain ed at a comparatively small cost each year. The first year we had fear that hunters or some mischievous person would set fire inside our fence and guard but we have never had but one fire in four years that appeared to have been set and that probably was accidental.
 "our neighbors down there are be- shining to take a considerable inter- est in our experiment as they say they wish to see how our land will look at the end of ten years if we succeed in keeping out the fire.
 "Our principal reason for making in- ouiry is to see If we cannot get some of our neighbors interested in forestry in their own behalf.
 Yours truly.

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. 10-(Special.) Charging that the rates from Pen sacola to points In Alabama are 50 per cent higher on fish than from Mobile, which is an equal distance to the points specified. the wholesale fish dealers of this city have brought to the attention of the Interstate Commerce Commission the alleged discrimination by the Southern Express Company and that company has been cited to show cause why the difference in rates ex- fists.
 The wholesale fish dealers here have been doing an immense business in Alabama, and this continued until the new rates went into effect. when there was a falling of in business. Then the express company was called upon to adjust the matter. but replied that 1t could not. owing to the fact that the rate from Mobile had been made by the Alabama Railroad Commission and is lower than the business can he handled profitably, and therefore Pen- sacola could not be put on the same basis.
 The result Is that the companies have appealed to the Interstate Com- merce Commission, and from the cor respondence It is believed the Cominis- sion will order that the same rate ap- plying to Mobile be given Pensacola
