More Aerial Flights Are
Planned for Fort Myer,
orvl||e Wright Will Soon Re-
sumo His Series Of Flights.
Other Aer0nauts Will Enter the
Field With New Machines.

Washington, April 13.-With the
open season for aerial flight rapidly
approaching. activities will soon begin
at Fort Myer The signal corps of the
army, which conducted the tests held
there last year when Lieut. Thomas f.
Selfridge was killed in the wreck of
the Wright aeroplane, III which Or
vile Wright was himself seriously in
jured, is already making preliminary
arrangements for the continuation of
these tests. The balloon squad will be
transferred from Fort Wood to Fort
Myer next week and Immediately will
overhaul the free and captive balloons
belonging to the corps, as wen as the
Baldwin drgible which was Purchased
last year.
There are at present three officers of
the aeronautical division of the sig
nal corps on the grounds making prep
arationS for the conduct of the trials.
The contracts for the delivery of
heavier than-air machines held by the
Wright brothers of Dayton, Ohio, who
are now in Rome, and by A. Nj. Her
ring of New York, have not yet been
fulfilled in every detail. Orville Wright
previous to the accident to his ma
chine, made numerous flights, some of
which fulfilled certain of The conditions
specified in his contract. but none of
them was official. He will have t. make
one flight for endurance, remaining in
the. air for two hours and another for
speed. 1t is generally acknowledged
that the Wright brothers, barring ac-
cident, can meet these conditions sue
cessfully.
Orvile Wright, who has been unable
to make any flights since he was seri-
ously injured last September, has an
nounced his intention of himself COM
pleting the trials which he began at
Fort Myer in August last.
Although A. NJ. Herring has made a
technical delivery Of his aeroplane at
Fort Myer, he has not made any pub
lie flights. He has formed a company,
together with Glenn H. Curtiss. whose
flight in the June Bug" and other ma
cEincs belonging to the aerial expert
menting stations, has made him famous
in the world of aeronautics The APP
pearance of these two aeronauts with
an acroplane fer which many new
things are claimed is being awaited
with keen expectation.
Lieut.. Frank p. Lahm and Lieut.
Benjamin ID. Faulois. the most promi-
nent aeronauts in the signal corps, will
conduct the trials at Fort Myer this
season. Major George o. Squier, as
sstant chief signal officer and an au-
thority on aerostatics, probably will
take a prominent part. Lieut.. Winter
is the other officer who is now stationed
in Washington with the aeronautical
division.

tempt to Save the
Little One.

San Rafael, Cal, July 19.--After
heroic but vain attempt to save
her baby daughter Vera from be-
meath the wheels of an electric train.
Mrs. Ira Nelson lies in the Cottage
hospital in this ci,y suffering from
internal injuries The little girl, who
was three and a half years of age,
was killed instantly. The accident
occurred yesterday about noon.
Mrs Nelson and the baby were
going to Alameda TO spend the day.
They were waiting for a train at the
electric station. The noise caused by
the approach of northbound train
attracted Mrs. Nelson's attention and
as she glanced at the track she saw
the baby girl standing directly in the
path of the rushing cars.
With a cry OF agony the frantic
mother rushed to her baby. She was
struck by the forward coach and
hurled unconscious 20 the platform.
Little Nera's body was pitifully crush
ed under the heavy trucks. Mrs.
Nelson, according to the reports is
sued from the hospital probably will
survive her injuries.

HAY MARKET OF
OREGON IS EASIER

Farmers generally are feeling very
good over the results of the late
rains. While a little hay was dam
aged no great loss was sustained by
anyone Many thought the hay crop,
as well as the spring grain, would be
short, owing to the continued dry
weather, but the heavy rains during
the second week in July have made
much more hay than was damaged,
and a large acreage Of spring grain,
which Is being rapidly advanced as a
result of the showers, Is being cut
for hay The result is that the Will
lamette valley will have more hay
than ordinarily, aud, whereas many
expec ed high prices for their hay,
there will probably be a slump. A
few sales were made at from $12 to
$14 of the very first hay brought In,
but only $40 Is being offered now for
the best hay. This is a good price,
and hay farmers will probably make
more money this year than ordin-
arily.
The potato crop, which was a lit
tie uncertain up TO two weeks ago,
will now be a top-notch crop, and of
the very best quality. The rains
came just in time to keep the early
potatoes growing, without making
them rough" aud as a result the
late potatoes have been given a start
which will insure full hills.
