FORTY FOR TAFT
Most Pessimistic View Gives Him the
Election

Chicago, Oct. 14-Before he left for
New York Frank H. Hitchcock in
formed friends with whom he had
talked condentailly that in his opinion
New York was entirely safe for Taft.
His report from western states re-
ceived last week while he was in Chi
cago had convinced him that Taft
would get enough votes to make his
majority in the electoral column GER
tainly more than forty. This could
only mean that even with the vote of
New York Mr.. Bryan could not be
elected, for New York's vote in the
election column is only thirty-nine.
The west is undergoing one of those
campaign shifts which politicians
never have been able to satisfactorily
explain. Mr.. Bryan had the advant-
age in the western states in the early
part of the campaign. He is yet much
stronger than Republicans wish him
to be, for the Bryan vote, plus the
dissatisfied Republican vote, threatens
a number of Republican candidates
for governor.

ANOTHER MAN
TO TRY TO FLY
Will Make Some Experiments
Along the Old Lines of
Langley

Washington, Oct. 14.-A. H. Her.
ring, who has a contract to deliver
an aeroplane to the signal corps of
the army, today exhibited parts of his
machine to the board of officers hav-
of the signal corps. Mr.. Herring did
not assemble his aeroplane, but put
together a section of the framework
and showed the officers his motor,
which would be the most remarkable
motor ever constructed If 1t does all
that Mr.. Herring claims for it.
Today Mr.. Herring is packing the
parts of his aeroplane preparatory to
leaving for New York. He says he
will take rest before making any
preliminary flights with his machine.
These he intends to make on some
grounds where the conditions are
more favorable than at Fort Myer.
Tomorrow Mr.. Herring is to forward
letter to the chief signal officer in
which he will formally outline his
plans regarding the preliminary
flights and his reasons for desiring to
hold them elsewhere.
II may make my preliminary
flights at any one of a number Of
places; in northern Indiana, on.
Hampstead plains, L. L., or Atlantic
City," said Mr.. Herring today.
Mr.. Herring's motor resembles the
one used by Prof. Langley on his ILL.,
fated aeroplane. 1t has five cylinders
extending from the same base and
resembling five-pointed star. Mr..
Herring claims that it develops twen-
ty-two horsepower, weighs nineteen
pounds, and is sufficient to drive his
aeroplane with two men through the
air at over forty miles an hour. Com
pared to the Wright brothers ma
chine. the Herring machine seems to
be of much finer workmanship and Is
much smaller and lighter.
The surgeons at the Fort Myer hos
pital examined Orville Wrlght's leg
today and found that 1t is knitting
much better than they had expected.
It was said at the hospital that Mr..
Wright's improvement. 1t Is believed,

note of the English Colony of New

question.
The note was sent to the comp

HANNAH HAS FIRE
Suffered . Thirty Thousand Loss Early
This Morning

Hannah, N. d., Oct. 14.-Han-
nah was the scene Of conflagra-
tion caused by flames which broke out
at 1880 o'clock this morning in the
livery barn owned by Harry Van
Shank. Before the flames were ex-
tinguished the Van Shank livery barn
was consumed, as was the Mcmillan
machinery house and the Bollach
Lumber company, the entire loss be-
ing estimated at something over $780,
00o. .....
The origin of the fire in the Van
Shank livery barn, was caused by
threshers who went up in the hay loft
to sleep. Before retiring the fellows
had a smoke and went to sleep, only
to be awakened by being surrounded
by the flames, the sparks having
caught the hay. How the men made
their escape ia q mystery, but in the
excitement they were lost track Of,
when all set to work to fight the
flames.
AS luck would have 1t the buildings
destroyed were at the outskirts of the
main business portion of town and
only the wind being in the opposite
direction from the town proper saved
Hannah from entire devastation.
The loss to the MCMILLAN Machinery
company is about $4,000, only parti-
ally covered by Insurance. The Van
Shank livery loss is $4,000, insurance
being $1,000. Bollach Lumber COM
pany loss $4,000, with $500 insur-
ance. j. G. May dray line loss $500,
no Insurance. There were sixteen
head of horses in the Van Shank barn
burned to death.

1t is pointed out that the Rogue
River valley is the only locality in
the stateot Oregon where the canteloupe
thrives. The Yakima valley supplies
the Puget Sound country with all its
watermelons and cauteloupes and it is
said that Portland looks to the Rogue
River valley for her melon supply. 1t
is.conservatively estimated that mel
ons will produce $500 an acre while the
cost of plowing and planting is not
to exceed IS per acre. Another point
is that watermelons and:canteloupes
may be raised in young orchards until
they reach the age of bearing, there.
by insuring paying income from
the ground up TO the bearing of the
apples. Portland will take all the
melons that eau be raised here. This
industry has been given but little
attention Of late Notwithstanding the
splendid income assumed.
