MYSTERIOUS
AIR SHIP IS
SEEN IN SKY
Performs Intricate Evolu.
tions at Great Height
May Be Tillinghast

WORCESTER, Mass, Dec. 22.-F1y
ing at a speed of from 80 to 40 miles
an hour, a mysterious airShip tonight
appeared over Worcester, lowered over
the city a few minutes, disappeared
for about two hours and then re-
turned to cut four circles above the
city, using a searcnlight of tremend-
Gus power. Thousands of persons
thronged the streets to watch the mys-
ferrous visitor.
The airship remained over the city
for Is minutes, all the time at
height that most observers set at
about 1000 feet, too great to enable
even it's precise shape to be seen. The
glazing rays of it's great searchlight,
however were sharply defined. The
dark mass of the ship could be diml.
seen.
At the time of the airship's visit
Wallace E. Tillinghast, Worcester
man. who recently claimed to have
invented a marvellous aeroplane in
which ne said he had journeyed to
New York and return by way of Bos-
ton was absent from his home and
could not be found.
The visitor from the clouds was
first sighted over Marlborough at $500
o'clock The Is miles between this
city and Marlborough were covered
in 80 minutes.
Coming up from the southeast the
sky voyager veered to the west, re-
manned in sight a few minutes and
then disappeared to the north. In five
minutes the searchlight was again
seen, glowing in the darkness like
monster star and the ship came up
lowered over the city a short time and
disappeared to the southeast.
Two hours later an eager shout
from the waiting crowds announced
it's return. Slowly, its light sweeping
the heavens, it circled four times
above the city and then disappeared
finally heading first to the south and
then to the east.

since ditch construction became
certainty. 1t was well understood
at the time that we were to depend
entirely on our own resources and
with this clearly in mind the work
was started There was never a
community that displayed more en-
terprise, more real concentration of
forces or more loyalty to the cause
in hand than was found right here
in and around Grants Pass. There
were in the neighborhood of hun
dred and fifty individual stockhold-
ers who united their means to accom-
plish irrigation for Grants Pass and
from the very beginning to the pres
ent time they have been true to
themselves, to the city and county
and the enterprise which they un-
dertook to carry through. Every
dollar expended has something to
show for it and the stockholders and
water users will have interests worth
many times the cost. We have heard
much of the beauty of being under
an irrigation system built by the
general government and in the past
many thousands of farmers have
made a struggle to get locations un-
der these big, strong enterprises,
but we are now told that Uncle Sam
is an exacting landlord and that he
has men looking after his interests
who are hard task masters and un-
feeling agents. Let us be thankful
that we will own our own irrigation
plant and that no soulless agent will
make demands against us. Every
farm under this grand system of
bitches will within a very few years
be worth many times its present
value.

Oriole mine at Galice, came up from
there on Thursday and is still in
town. The 0riole is a busy place in
these days and a little later it will
show still more activity. There are
at present 20 men doing construc-
tion work on the two miles of road
between Galice and the mine. Eight
men are working on the main tunnel
and are taking out some very rich
ore. Mr. Mattison exhibited a piece
of white quartz that was literally
studded with gold and will run into
the thousands in value.

Alteration and Expansion Sale.

Geo. S. Calhoun commenced Fri
day morning his great Alteration
and Expansion Sale, and the result
was the store was crowded nearly all
day long. Cost of articles on sale
cuts very little figure in this case.
Everything is reduced and this is a
great opportunity for people Of this
city and county to get what they
need in Mr.. Calhoun's line of busl-
ness at greatly reduced prices.
Alteration of the interior Of the
store will be commenced as soon as
the Courier is able to remove from
their present quarters and allow Mr.,
Calhoun to take possession Of the
entire Howard block.

Editor Courier: The long defer
red spring rains have made it inn
possible for the fruit grower and
vineyardist to get his soil in proper
condition to Withstand the want OF
moisture so much needed during
July, August and September. With
the rain that we are now having the
opportunity to thoroughly cultivate
and fine the surface soil it at hand,
and in all young orchards, vineyards,
as well as old ones, cultivation
should be vigorous.
After every shower the spring
tooth harrow and clod smasher
should be used to prepare the dust
mulch that conserves moisture.
Spraying for the apple worm
should not be neglected. It has been
observed that thorough, careful
spraying with arsenate of lead the
last of June, then again in July
and August gives the best results
and greatly lessons the damage OF
the codling moth
The pear blight is in the valley
and whenever noticed should at once

burned.
Any fruit grower not familiar witt
the blight If he notices the twigs o
his pear trees dying back should a
once call on Fruit Inspector j. +
Burke and get his advise.
