Notes from Spray.

Written by Garfield Crawford, while or
the way on his outing TRIP
To any old, time resident ol
Heppner, a stop in the town o.
Spray is apt to befuddle his brain
for short time. If not he will
wonder whether or not he has got
ten out Of Heppner or whether the
town of Heppner has picked up
and sot down over here On the
John Day river.
1t is splendid rip..through the
mountains from Hardman to Kah-
Ter basin, but the Lord will please
have mercy on the poor fellow
whose lot it is to travel from Hepp-
ner to Hardman and the last eight
miles from Kahler Basin to the
sleeping little burg of Spray.
Speaking Of. Heppner people
focking together, one can safely
say they have.focked to this sec
ton of Wheeler county.
D. A. Herrep, the old time bus
mess and sheep man of Heppner,
with his family, is located here
and is manager of the Spray Mer-
camille CO. Mr.. Herren is doing
nice business and is without doubt
the business end Of Spray.
Billy Potter who stood back of
the counter in Minor & Co.'S store
for so long, is located above Spray
on fine ranch that is producing
more alfalfa hay than he can find
ground to stack it on.
Tracy Wilcox has an enormous
ranch on the bottom just across
the river from Spray, and today
between showers, is pilipg hay
mountain high. Mr.. Wilcox has
a fine young orchard that In few
years will be producing moro fruit
than he can cart to market.
Fl. E. Warren, Heppner's. pion-
eer druggist, is running cattle and
owns splendid ranch, aud then
there is Clarence Bisbee, who
clerked forI Gillian & Bisbee, and
Harry Myers, who at one time ran
the Palace hotel, are here and look
prosperous.
The fall crop is good but the
farmers say the spring grain is
badly damaged. The. stock are in
good condition and gross beef is
now being gathered.
Some of the fruit was killed by
the late frosts, but not to any
great extent.
What this section needs is trans
portation facilities and when that
is overcome, this section of Ore
gon will be on the map in big black
letters,

Before the flight was begun a watch
was tied to the seat next to Wright,
and when a little later he saw that he
had stayed aloft for over an hour, the
time required in order for him to fulfill
his contract with the government, he
descended. Swooping down in a sort

chine bore down in the direction of the

Aviator Also Picks Up Lieutenant
Lahm and Two Men Are Carried
For the First Time.

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 10.-Orville
Wright, in three phenomenal flights at
Fort Meyer yesterday, established new
aeroplane records that not only assure
the success of the official trials before
the army board, but indicate that
aerial flight is now only matter of de-
velopment.
War on land and on sea will find in
the aeroplane, it is conceded by mill
tary experts, a valuable means of
reconnaissance and possibly carnage.
New Mark i'm Evening.
The first flight, made yesterday
morning, in which the machine circled
the drill grounds at the fort 81 times
in 81 minutes and 81 seconds, was sur

Not satisfied with breaking all dis
| tance and time records for a heavier
than air machine, Mr.. Wright took
Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm, the aero
naut of the signal corps, for a spin
around the drill grounds, making a
new record for a two-man fight.
All this happened so quickly and un
ostentatiously that the spectators
among whom were members of the
! cabinet and high officers of the army
and navy, could hardly realize that
history had been made.
| Many See Remarkable Flight.
| The morning flight was witnessed by
only handful of enthusiasts, but the
news spread so rapidly that fully &

Must Get Voters Out.
After closing his evening speech Mr..
Bryan spoke to the political workers
and urged them to get out the vote
and see that it was counted. He de-
clared: 1T is easier to get a demo-
crat to the polls than it is to convert
a republican. Therefore, get out the
vote"
AS to the phonograph, Mr.. Bryan
said: "They made fun of me for talk
ing into phonograph-they said it
was not dignified-but before | had
time to become mortified on the sub
ject, Mr.. Taft spoke into a phonograph
and now l can put penny in the slot
and find out how little Mr.. Taft knows
on public questions"
Mr.. Bryan devoted some time to sar-
castle comment on Mr. Taft's position
in the campaign, saying he was run
ming in the east on the republican
platform and in the west on his
amendment to the platform.

Held for Developments.

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 10.-The coron-
ers jury which has been inquiring
into the death of Dr. Frederick Rustin
last night returned a verdict saying he
came to his death by a pistol shot
fired by person unknown" The

Davis be held and that his conduct
on the night of the physicians death
be thoroughly investigated.

Abbie Rice as the man who DIR. Rustin
said had agreed to kill him. was taken
into custody and later released on a
bond signed by his brother, Frederick
H. Davis. He will be given formal
hearing in a day or two.
Davis Brother Defends HIM. -
Frederick Davis declines 10 take
seriously the charge against his
brother, Charles, saying DR.. Rustin
had used him for a stool pigeon" to
further his plans to end his own life
Davis yesterday told how his brother
had been married % years ago against
his family's wishes ana the trouble
which has followed him since.
Thirteen years ago my brother de
veloped epilepsy said Davis. which
has bothered him considerably ever
since. He has had fits of insanity
and three times it has been necessary
to place him in asylums in different
parts of the country. This insanity
took a violent form on two or three
occasions. He has not been afflicted
however, since last November until
two weeks ago

We heartily endorse the ma

laration of sound and salutary
democratic principles and policies.
We recognize in William Jen-
nings Bryan a man of clear Wis
ion, who is absolutely right on all
of the great and vital public is
sues of the day.
The people of Illinois are tired
of mismanagement, inefficiency
and corruption in the administra-
ton of the affairs of the state.
The government of this great
state and the institutions it main
tains for the care of the unfortun-
ate wards of all classes of the
people must be rescued from the
hands that have for the last four
years made the public institutions
mere political asset of the ad-
ministration.

Peoria, H., Sept. 10.-There was no
trouble within the ranks of Illinois
democracy at the party's state con-
vention yesterday. William ]. Bryan
inaugurated the democratic national
campaign in the west, incidentally
and Adlai E. Stevensons gubernator-
ial stock took strong upward bound.
Everybody seemed to be satisfied
with what happened. There was a
crowd of $4,000 persons in the city to
witness the visit of the presidential
nominee; four trustees for the Uni
versity of Illinois were nominated
with a modicum of difficulty and a
platform was adopted which was a
declaration of allegiance to the Den
yer platform, specifically praised Will
liam J. Bryan and John Worth Kern
and presented Adlai E. Stevenson to
the state as a platform in himself.
No "PersonaI Liberty"
Personal liberty" was shifted to
the cellar where repose dead issues.
There was nothing doing whatever in
that line, despite the threats of Nick
Perrin of Belleville and representa-
tives of the personal liberty element
in Chicago that there would be all
kinds and varieties of trouble on the
convention floor
Mr.. Bryan made three speeches dur
ing the day. His main address was
delivered before the state convention
1t was a set speech in part, directed
to an argument for states rights
Then he talked without manuscript
for 40 minutes, bringing the audience
which crowded the Coliseum to its feet
with a rapid-fire and vindictive attack
upon Mr.. Taft.
Mr.. Bryan at the convention also
expounded the Denver doctrine o
guaranty of bank deposits. At nigh
he spoke to another crowd which
again jammed the Coliseum. Wher
he arriyed here at noon on the specia
train from Chicago he spoke to 2,00t
persons who awaited his coming at thu
