AUTOS OFF STREETS,
Chicago Policemen Enforce a Long,
Forgotten Ordinance.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-Nearly 1000 of our
very best citizens and several tourists
from adjoining cities were today iostled
off the South Side boulevard by sun
dry large. thick policemen and forced
to do their speeding over the ordinary
streets. This was due to the discovery
by the South Park commissioners of a
forgotten ordinance which forbids any
vehicle on the boulevards which emits
smoke or any sinking odor.'' Con
sequently many naughty persons whose
touring cars were filling the atmos-
phere with the reek of petrol were side
tracked by the police and invited to
betake their "offensive odors' else.
where.
At that hundreds of cars escaped for
the reason that they were travelling so
fast the odor did not assail the watch
men until the machines were bevond
reach. The game was comparatively
easy while the sun was shining, for the
faint ripple of smoke could then be de
tected, but the officers abandoned
their efforts when darkness fell. Of
the thousands of persons ordered off
the boulevards, none disobeyed, so the
city gains no revenue.

WRIGHT'S LATEST WONDER.
Beats Worlds Record With Passenger

lie Mans, Oct. 4.-Wilbur Wright, the
American aeroplanist, who holds the

journalist by his side, he remained in
the air for 55 minutes and 81 seconds
circling the field "a times and covering
a distance estimated at So kilometers
or about 36 miles. His best previous
flight with a passenger was II minutes
80 2-5 seconds.
By his feat Mr.. Wright practically
fulfills the conditions of a contract
signed by him and Lazare WELLER, who
represents a syndicate, whereby Mr..
Wright receives 100000, and the syn,
dicate takes in return the patent rights
of the Wright machine for France and
the colonies, with the privilege of man
ufacturing aeroplanes on this model
The sun was setting when Mr.. Wright
and his passenger started, and the
flight was completed in the moonlight
When they alighted, the French jour
nalist in his enthusiasm threw his arms
around Mr.. Wright's neck, and the
great crowd of spectators was hardly
less demonstrative in its manifestations
of delight.

100000 ARE AFTER LAND.
Last Of Uncle Sans Distributions in
Rosebud Reservation.

Dallas, S. D., Oct. 6.-Two hundred
thousand persons will take advantage of
the opening of 100000 acres of free
government land in South Dakota, to-
morrow. The parceling of this vast
tract of farm country in the Rosebud
Indian reservation is the last of Uncle
Sans big land distributions. Every
one is to have chance at a 16O-acre
slice. Land adjoining it is now selling
at $40 to $50 an acre. 1t is estimated
that this drawing will surpass all other
government openings in the number
who will take part, at least 100000
people being expected to register The
number of 160acre farms is 5000. This
means that only one person out of every
40 can possibly get a farm.
Already crowds have arrived at the
border, and have set up tents prepared
to make a comfortable stay until after
the drawing. The registration points
are at Dallas and Gregory, S. D.. on
the east border of the reservation; !;
Chamberlain and Presho, S. D., on the
north, and O'Neill and Valentine, Neb..

RUNS ON TIES.
Fast Passenger Makes Mile a Minute
Without Rails.

Chicago. Oct 3-Passengers on the
Lake Shore Twentieth Century Lin
tied thought they were taking break
fast in a wreck as the tender trucks
OF the giant locomotive hauling the
fast train left the tracks a half mile
west of Gary at s A. NJ. yesterday.
For a mile the wheels of the tender
bumped over the ties, while the en-
gneer sought to halt the flyer, speed
ing TO Chicago at the rate of 60 miles
an hour The dining car and the
smoker also left the rails.
For what seemed to the passengers
three or four minutes the train dashed
ahead. but with slackening speed. AT
ter about mile it was brought to a
stop and it was found that no one was
injured. At the point where the ac-
cident occurred the tracks Of the Lake
Shore are elevated SO that an embank-
ment of eight or ten feet descending
on either side promised a dangerous
plunge if the bouncing cars left the
rails.
The airbrake on the diner, loosened
from its fastenings, fell to the ground.
This derailed the diner, the smoker
and the tender. An angle-bar of the
track was uprooted and tore through
the floor of the diner, causing a panic
among the passengers at breakfast.

TEN ACRES, sic. 90.
Record Price.n.Is Paid for Hood River
Orchard Land.

Hood River.-Sixteen thousand dol
lars for a 1O-acre fruit farm was the
price paid here few days ago BY
Frank E. Deem, an Illinois man. The
tract bought by Mr.. Deem has no
buildings on it and the price is there
fore straight one of $1,000 per acre.
This is the highest price by $500 per
acre that orchard land has ever sold
for at Hood River, and is said to be
the highest ever paid in the state.
The orchard is in 7-year-old Spitzen-
berg and Newtown trees that had a
fine crop last year and also have d
good yield this year.
The purchase is part of a 5O-acre
orchard of young trees owned by NJ
M. Hill. former Iowa man., who
came here few years ago and set it
out and is located on the east side of
the valley near the Mt. Hood railroad
While the price is the highest that has
ever been received here, orchard men
say that Hood River bearing orchards
have not yet reached their top prices

Admiral Sperry Decides to Run No
Risk of Cholera Infection.

Manila. Oct B. - Rear-Admiral
Sperry has finally decided not to land
any men here and to maintain a prac-
teal quarantine of the ships during
their stay. Admiral Sperry discussed
the question with Governor General
Smith this morning, and the above
action was determined upon.
There are still several new cases of
cholera daily, and it was decided that
it would be safest and best not to take
anv chances of its spreading to the
fleet. The officers will be allowed
brief shore liberty under close restrc-
tions.
Forty steamers and launches. gaily
decorated. paraded today around the

ception committee. boarded the flag
ship Connecticut and spent a half hour
with Rear-Admiral Sperry. Rear-Ad-

Fishways Uncovered.

klamath Falls.-Old Indian rock
fishways have been uncovered in Link
river, the second time they have been
seen in "a years. On account of the
unusual low water this season two
fishways are now visible. The oldest
Indians claim no knowledge of the
building of these dams, indicating that
they were constructed many years
ago. They are built in runways, with
platforms on either side, evidently
where the Indians stood to spear the
salmon as they made their way up the
swift current in the runways. For the
last quarter of century the river has
been higher than in the early days and
the Indians have learned to fish as the
white man does.

MAY MEAN WAR.
Clouds Looming Dark Over Balkan
States Once More.

London, Oct. 6.-Events which threat
en- to change the political face of Eu
rope are erystallizing with li"htning
like rapidity. Almost over night the
horizon of the near east, which seemed
gradually assuming peaceful appear
ance, has become crowded with wal
clouds.
News has reached here from several
sources that two definite strokes are
impending which cannot fail to bring
matters to a crisis, and perhaps force
an immediate war.
One is the proclamation of Prince
Ferdinand, of the Independence of Bull
garia, which will include Roumelia,
taking for himself the title of czar.
The other is an announcement by
Austria Hungary of the practical an.
nexation of the provinces of Bosnia
and Herzegovina as appanages of the
Austro- Hungarian crown.
Either action will be equivalent to
the tearing up of the treaty of Berlin,
while Prince Ferdinand S course seems
almost certain to precipitate a war be
tween Bulgaria and Turkey.
Before these possibilities the quar-
rel of the East Roumelian section of
the Orient railway sinks into insignifi-
cance. Both armies are reported to be
quietly and swiftly mobilizing on the
borders. Bulgaria is said to be buying
up munitions and horses on an extensive
scale.
The Bulgarians have faith in their
army, which has reached a high state
of efficiency, although it is perhaps
lacking in officers. and the war for
which Bulgaria has long been suspected
of preparing could be fought with more
advantage to her now than when the
Turkish government has had time to
reorganize its forces, enervated by cor
ruption and neglect of the old regime.

Hartman Orders New Cars.

Chicago, Oct. 3-It was announced
here yesterday that the Pullman Car
company will begin delivering an or
der for 22O steel passenger cars for
the Hartman lines within 60 days.
The order is but a starter of orders
that are to be placed for steel cars by
all the big railroad lines, it is stated.
The adoption of the steel cars was de-
cided upon after long series of ex-
periments conducted by the Hartman
lines. The cars are to be steel shells
with but very little wood in their con-
struction.

The Hague, Oct 6.-Some concern ex

rejected the second note of the Dutch
government. Many are opposed to
belligerent action on the part of Hol-
land in the wish that The Hague, as
the seat of the peace conference, be not
connected in any way with the idea of
war. The cruiser Trecht has been
placed under orders to proceed to the
East Indies, via the West Indies. When
she arrives in West Indian waters there
will be four warships under the Dutch
flag assembled at that station.

sured, although the matter will not be
determined until the congress meets in

Lane County Is Short.

Eugene.-The prune crop in Lane
county this fall is thought to be about
one-half what it was last year, when
one of the best crops in the history of
the county was raised. This year the
late frosts largely affected the crop and
in some exposed places in the county
there is scarcely a prune in some of the
orchards. This condition prevails to
some extent in the prairie country west
of Eugene, where there are no protect
ing woods to keep off the heavy frosts,
but along the river bottoms, especially
north of Eugene, the crop is heavy, and
in some orc hards it is, said to be as
heavy as it was last year.

BIG PROFIT IN HOGS.
Ya'nhill Farmer Gets Over $67O in
Cash from ST Porkers.

innville.-Among Yamhill's di
versities hogs follow dairying pretty
closely in point of profit. James Reid
living short distance east of town
sold bunch of 81 hogs lately, fattened
at cash outlay of $42, receiving fol-
them the sum of $616.s7, or a profit OF
$574.S7.
Besides giving the porkers II tons OF
millfeed at $2S ton, Mr.. Reid allowed
them to have the run of 100.acre
field of clover early in the season. He
then let them have a 3-acre clover field
then an S-acre field of wheat and later
a 4-acre patch of peas. The 10O-acre
field of clover was moved for seed, the
pasturing being benefit rather than a
detriment.
Thus, the hogs used only the product
from Is acres, giving profit of a
little more than $3S an acre net, fair
interest on land at valuation of $4OO
an acre, after deducting the cost of put
ting in the crop. The hogs did all the
harvesting.
