A big delegation Of Navy Department
officials and officers are preparing 10

ing Of the biggest battleship IN the
United States navy. if not IN the world.
The big ship Will be sent down the
ways at Quincy, Mass. and viii be
christened North Dakota.
This steel monster is of the Dread
nought type. first put forward by the
British navy, ana she will be far in
advance of any other vessel ahoat.
Even the British have been OUtdone IN
their own style Of building, for the
North Dakota Will be bigger. faster,
and more formidable than the famed
Dreadnoughts. recently commissioned
by the British.
WOTkmen at the plant Of the Fore
River Shipbuilding Company. Quincy
Point, are putting the finishing touches
on the new ship preparatory to the
launching which is set for November
10. The launching will be a notable
event, as the North Dakota is as epoch
making in battleship construction as
were the famed Monitor and MeTrimac-
Many Go From Here.
A big delegation Of naval officers and
officials viii leave Washington a week
from Sunday to attend the launching
ceremonies. The governor of North
Dakota with a delegation OF citizens
from that state. win also attend, as

WRIGHT MAKES TWO
SUCCESSFUL
FLIGHTS
AeropIane Remains in Air EIev-
en- Minutes First Time and
Nearly Eight Minutes on Sec
ond Attempt


IBy Morning journal Special Leased Wirel
Washington, Sept. Sat Fort
Meyer today Orvile Wright made the
two greatest aeroplane flights ever
made in public in this country re-
naming in the air eleven minutes on
his first flight and for nearly eight
minutes on his second flight There
was apparently no reason why the
flights could not have been of even
greater duration, as the aviator land
ed the last time because of the ap-
preaching darkness. Throughout both
flights Mr.. Wright apparently had the
machine under perfect control. rising
at times to sixty feet and making
sharp turns.
In the first fight the aeroplane
whirled around the ground, fitting up
AZ the turns like an automobile taxi
ing the banks at the curves Of race
course. Sweeping to earth like
giant eagle, the machine was brought
down by Mr., Wright within thirty feet
Of the starting apparatus, having
made thirteen complete circles of the
field in eleven minutes and ten sec
onds.
Twenty minutes after the first trial
Mr.. Wright started up for the second
attempt On one trip around the field
he flew over the stables which line on
one side, and again on another round
he flew over the aerial garage,
where the aeroplane Is housed. After
eight circles of the field Mr.. Wright
brought his machine down within a
few feet of the aerial garage"
II was estimated that Mr.. Wright
covered IL miles in the first flight,
at an average speed of SO miles an
hour and on the second flight 4 Ia
miles. Mr.. Wright will make another
fight tomorrow morning II weather
conditions are favorable.

the town in great bounds. The smoke,
according to A. j. Smith, who came

dense that breathing is difficult. The
citizens fear suffocation before boat

Mr.. Smith says that an east wind
