ZEPPELIN MAKES
 GREAT AIR VOYAGE Mammoth Airship Sails Long Distance Successfully NLY ONE STOP IS MADE Slight Trouble With Propeller Causes Ship to Deoeend, But It Reascends
 and Begins Return Journey
 To Lake Constance.

Friedrichhafen, August 4.-Arising from Its floating dock on the dark green wa ters of Lake Constance early this morn ing the great dirigible airship of Count Zeppelin was sent away for a 24-hour journey in the air to Mayence and re- turn. Late tonight the apex of the tri- angular flight had been turned and the monster of the air. with nose pointed southward was reported speeding along under starry skies toward Freidrichhafen where it is hoped the journey will end Wednesday. The flight to Mayence, how ever, was not an uninterrupted one for something was wrong with a propeller while speeding along above the valley of the Rhine and Count Zeppelin was compelled to bring the airship down to the surface of the river at Nackensheim eight miles from Mayence, where repairs
 were affected.
 The drigible was again sent on high and the trip that probably will prove a record one was recommended.
 The weather for the ascension was
 most suspicious. The ship of the air rose majestically to a height of 400 feet
 and, crossing the lake, circled the town of Constance, then turning, retraced the
 path of its flight, and describing a per- feet circle, passed over F'riedrichhafen
 and then soared westward over the lake
 to Basic, on the Swiss frontier. Turning
 the vessel slightly toward the northwest
 Count Zeppelin steered it over Mulhasen and then directed its flight northeastery
 to Strassburg, thence following the val ley of the Rhine northward to Mayence, distance altogether of over 250 miles.
 Everything was going smoothly when
 the trouble to the propeller occurred. which somewhat impeded the progress of the ship, but when the balloon had been brought down, Count Zeppelin found the defect so slight that he telephoned his secretary at his office in Friedrich hafen We will start again sometime to- night and complete the trip
 His expectations were realized for in less than four hours everything had been made perfect
 The people gathered on the banks of the stream, sang patriotic songs and cheered Count Zeppelin.
 At 10:15 D. m. the arship rose again and turned her bows toward Mayence whence she arrived at Il o'clock and passed over the gas-lghted city almost beyond the view of the populace, which had gathered In the streets expecting to witness the passage of the balloon, Soaring onward for a short distance the airship was turned homeward Whether it will follow the itinerary laid down by Count Zeppelin. retracing its outward path to Karlsruhe and thence flying southeasterly over Stuttgart to Lake Constance, is not known. If the airship maintains the speed al which it was travelling today, 1t should arrive in Friedrichshafen tomorrow fore noon.

Nashville August 4.-Nashville ham mered the stuffing out of MT. Robertaille henders this afternoon. It was bin- bang affair in which MT. Bernhard's crew gathered in IS safe drives and this, count ing the miserable defense behind the Bar on slabman, netted the Volunteers l5 runs. Birmingham scored twice in the second Inning. after which they had no chance to make the circuit.
 Such a swatfest it was! Every player hopped onto the sphere save Jack Hardy. Harry Bay placed a couple of nice ones in the garden and beat out two infield grounders, getting four safe ones in six attempts. Seigel was the only other man that did not get more than one hit.
 Julius Wiseman made his two doubles count in great fashion. His drives scored six runs he having cleaned the bases Tn the seventh and eighth innings by his timely hitting. In two innings every Volunteer faced the opposing tWlrler, while on another occasion every man had a swing at the sphere save Butler. And still another time only two Volunteers failed to go to the plate.
 Maybe It WaSn STedl-6icdt So Aoi us the local end was concerned-but very hunk from a Baron standpoint. But one game of the two scheduled was played. Just after the close of the first drlz- zIing rain set in. Jupe Pluvius did not let up, and at 4:45 o'clock Billy Carpenter stepped out from under shelter and said that there would be no second game on
 af dar rk. Bill just got darkness mixed up with rain. And twas a good thing that the rain arrived, for the Volunteers would have undoubtedly made it two instead of one.
 Getting back to the game, George Hunt CT presided on the slab for Nashville. The slde-wheeler was there with all of his old time form. He was all but invincible. letting the enemy down with only five hits, two of which came in the second, and these. together with Hardy's error and couple of sacrifices, netted the only runs for the Barons. Hardy was the only man that did not support Hunter in first class style.
 Errors, just plenty of them, nine all told, six being recorded against the Vls- itors and four of these were made by MT. DOwney at snort. MT. MolesWorlH puHch were away off. They couldn't pick up grounders and did all kinds of fancy throwing. In fact they fell down com pletely on this occasion, which is gen. orally the case when there is lot of hit ting
 Birmingham had the call up to the fifth inning. In this round the Volunteers be- gan using the big stick and scored four runs Five more were added in the seventh and five in the eighth. Fourteen runs in four innings-that was certainly going somel

CHINESE BOYCOTT DOES
IRREPARABLE DAMAGE.
Finances of Aggressive Island King
dom Said TO BE in Bad Shape as
Result OF Quiet but Effective Boy
colt by Yellow Race.

That Japan in the space of a few
years will find himself Ousted from
China as the result of a quiet but
persistent boycott and intrigue and
her trade with that country irretriev-
ably lost is the opinion of T. w.
Kingsmill of Shanghai, a recent ar
rival from the Orient.
Mr.. Kingsmill is an authority on
matters Oriental, having been con-
nected with the promotion of the
harbor, railroad and mining schemes
in China during the the past AZ years.
Mr.. Kingsmll has written a number
of books on historical subjects and
the antiquities of China and is well
posted on all matters pertaining to
the flowery kingdom.
THE Japanese have by their con-
summate deceit caused themselves to
be disliked and despised by the Chi
nese," said Mr.. Kingsmill. "They
have been behaving badly in the Man
churian troubles and they have grown
so conceited that they think they
could defeat the United States. But
their finances are in a fearful state,
and if Great Britain were to refrain
FROM her present policy of lending
Japan money the latter would soon
go to the wall.
Japan has been trying to work up
a revolution, but the Chinese, owing
to the education they receive, are not
fighting nation, consequently they
are boycotting and intriguing against
Japan in a slow but nevertheless sure
manner, taking care not to give Japan

trymen are so impressed with the
Oregon country that they have for
ever turned their eyes away from the
land of the cherry blossom and wish
to become American property hold

Hood River. Already several of tho
orientals have the knowledge that
will enable them to grow Newtons
and Spitenbergs to perfection.
NO more we want to make money
and go back to Japan" said Mr..
Yasui today MY countrymen, many
OF them have come to stay. They
buy the ranch at Hood River and
The Dalles and raise the apples and

at Hood River and we have formed

near The Dalles up Mill creek. Here
we raise the peach, cherry, vegetable
and at Hood River We raise the ap.

During the past month several Jap

VALUES INCREASED
SIX HUNDRED FOLD

Something Of the enormous in
crease in land values in the cities Of
the inland empire may be cleaned
from the following interesting Illus
tration from the walla Walla Bulle-
tin:
Paying over 6l2 times as much as
his parents sold the same land for 40
years ago. Harry II. Reynolds yester-
day bought the lot on the southwest
corner of Spokane and Main streets
for the sum of s2O,4OO, says the Bull
letin.
This is one-third of the block which
his parents, Allen and Lettice J.
Reynolds sold l3 years ago for 500.
The lot purchased yesterday has lO2
feet frontage on Main street and SO
feet on Spokane street.
The sale Of this property shows the
remarkable increase in values that
Walla Walla lands have experienced
The whole block sold for 500 4s
years ago, $4,000 seven years ago, and
now one-third of 1t sells for $2O,4OO
At this rate the whole lot would be
worth $4,000. The buildings on 1t
are but shacks hence the only value
is i'm the land. This is an average In
crease of over $14OO per year for the
A. years. The property was sold by
Joseph Tachi, who bought the whole
block seven years ago for $4,000 and
has made neat little sum out of his
part of the transaction.
Mr.. Reynolds has not decided yet
what will be placed on the block 1t
is likely that a substantial business
block will be erected in the not far
distant future, which will be a great
Improvement to East Main street
