HENEY WILL ACCEPT.
Must Make Campaign, However, on
Independent Ticket.

Newport, Or, Aug. 23.-Francis j..
Heney furnished the Oregonian writ
ten statement today, in which he figures
out that, according to the recent SUI
preme Court decision in California, he
cannot accept the nomination for prose-
cutting attorney on either the Demo-
cratic or Independence League tickets.
"The only way in which l can be-
come candidate is by petition signed
by certain number of voters who did
not vote at the primary election, re-
questing that my name be placed on the
ballot as an independent candidate"
says Mr.. Heney.
Mr.. Heney has been nominated both
by the Democrats and the independence
League, but California s new primary
law forbids that a candidate accept
nomination by two parties. Further
more, a candidate must be named by
the party with whom he announced his
affiliation at the primaries Mr.. Heney
is registered as a Republican.
Mar. Heney says he does not want the
office of prosecuting attorney, but will,
if nominated and elected, sacrifice his
business interests for the public veal
in order to continue the war against
the grafters.

AIRSHIP EXPLODES.
Wellman Made Good Start, but Acct
dents Bring Failure.

Camp Wellman, Spitzenbergen, Aug
10 (via Hammerfest, Aug 23).-Walter
Wellman 8 second attempt to sail over
the North Pole in a balloon has resulted
in failure. The giant dirigible bal
loon "America," in which Mr.. Well
man and his party of three set out,
proceeded about 80 miles from the
starting point, when disaster overlook
it.
After a long preparation and wait
ing for favorable weather, the oppor-
tunity came today, and Mr.. Wellman
decided to make the start. 1t was lO
o clock in the morning when the great
airship was brought out of its shed and
the daring explorers took their places
in the car.
When the anchors were cast loose,
the airship ascended beautifully, the en-
gines were set in motion and everything
seemed to work to perfection. The big
air craft was manuvered for some time
and answered the helm perfectly.
Then it's head was turned nOrthward,
and it set out at speed of 25 miles an
hour. Suddenly, after having covered
80 miles, and when everything seemed
to be going splendidly, the leather guide
rope, to which was attached 1000
pounds of provisions and stores, broke
away. The accident occurred just as
the airship was nearing the pack ice OF
North Spitzenbergen.
Released from this great weight, the
airship shot upwards at terrific pace
until it was great height above the
clouds. The pilots succeeded, however
in bringing her down near the earth
turning her about and set out to fight
their way southwark against a strong
wind.
The airship proceeded slowly south
ward to the edge of the pack ice, where
the steamer Fran was anchored. Aftel
much difficulty, tow rope was gotteI
aboard the Fran, which started imme
diately to tow the airship to Spitzen
bergen.
The strain was so great, however
that it threatened to tear the car tt
which the rope was attached to pieces
and Mr.. Wellman finally decided tt
bring the airship down to the surface
of the water This was effected with
out mishap and the car rested on th'
surface of the water until all the mem
bers of the crew, the dogs and the sci
entifc instruments could be transferred
aboard the Fran.
The America was then towed back t,
the landing stage, and within shor
distance of where the start was made
But the ill-luck of the expedition wa
not yet at an end. just as the airshil
had reached the landing stage and ev
| erything looked favorable for its rescu
without serious damage, sudden gus
of wind caught the big bag broadsid
on, and snatched it away from its toy
lines.
1t was carried careening over roug
ice hummocks for some distance an
then it exploded. All the scattere
parts of the airship were subsequent
recovered, but the damage was so grea
as to preclude any further attempt t
fly over the pole this year.

FLOODS in COLORADO
Railway Tracks Washed Out and
Train Service Suspended.
MANY TOURISTS Are STRANDED
Water in Its Wild Fury Almost UP to
Famous Bridge in Royal Gorge
Pueblo Under Water.

Denver, Aug. 21.-Another cloud
burst at Four-mile creek, near Canon
City, last night made more disastrous
the flood in the Arkansas river, which
since dawn yesterday threatened the
adjoining towns, washed out railroad
tracks and tied up many tourist trains.
The cloudburst was one of the heaviest
in that section and soon the. river,
swollen by mountain torrents near
Canon City, had risen eight feet six
inches.
The trains of the Denver & Rio
Grande and Colorado Midland railroads
were blocked at many places and
scores of tourists were delayed at Pu-
eblo, Salida, Grand Junction and other
points.
The magnificent Royal gorge, where
the Arkansas river rushes through a
canyon nearly 5000 feet deep, was'a
scene of wild fury. The water had
reached a level of the famous hanging
bridge. Many of the nearby canyons
were washed clear of tracks.
At Pueblo last night the water was
splashing over the levee at the state
asylum grounds, and with six-inch
rise the grounds of the asylum as well
as large portion of the residence por-
tior nearby will be under water.
Officials of the Rio Grande state that
As miles of their track between here
and Salida, distance of 100 miles, is
washed out and that it will be at least
a week before main line traffic can be
resumed.

Thirty Fall With Bridge.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-Ten persons were
injured seriously and 20 others had
narrow escapes last night, when $50
feet of the 12th-street bridge over the
river and viaduct collapsed. 1t was
thought at first that several had been
killed, but workmen digging in the
ruins until late tonight had not found
any bodies. The accident occurred just
after a streetcar had run part way
across the bridge and 80 passengers
had alighted to walk over the danger
GUS portion to get another car. Con-
struction work weakened the bridge.

Montreal, Que, Aug. 2O.-The legal
department of the Canadian Pacific
railway believes it has unearthed a
huge conspiracy to mulct that and
other corporations by means of false
claims for damages for personal injury
received in alleged accidents. The
claimants are alleged to have regular
organization, with branches in Chi
cago, Toronto, Vancouver and other
places, and to carry on a systematic
scheme of fraud by means of false
claims, false witnesses, etc. Three
arrests have been made and others are
promised.

HUGE FARM PROFIT.
Gain is Ten Times Annual Rental for
willamette Valley Ranch.

Albany-A. c. Armstrong, farmer
residing four miles northwest of Plain
view and 10 miles southeast of Albany,
will realize profit of $4,000 on 120
acres of .vetch he threshed last week.
Incidentally he will clear up about &c.
900 this year on farm of 400 acres,
for which he pays an annual rental of
5000. Some other Linn county farm
ers are doing almost as well, and farm
ing in the Willamette valley is paying
better this year than for many years.
Armstrong had 140 acres in vetch
this year. He moved 20 acres of it,
and after storing his barns full Of loose
hay for his winters supply had enough
left over from the 20 acres to bale 20
tons, which is worth $13 ton. The
vetch on the remaining 120 acres was
threshed for seed by the thresher and
cleaner of Parker Bros, and Armstrong
had 70 tons of threshed and cleaned
vetch seed from his 120 acres. This is
worth four cents a pound in the present
market and after Armstrong pays all
expenses of threshing, cleaning, etc.,
he will realize net profit of 81, 300 on
the vetch seed alone, to say nothing Of
the vetch hay he baled.
In addition to his 140 acres in vetch,
Armstrong has 200 acres in spring oats,
which is in splendid condition and will
doubtless return big yield and give
him an additional profit of several hun
dred dollars for the past years work.

WIND AGAINST WELLMAN.
Twice Prepares to Fly to North Pole
but Puts Back.

Hammerfest, Norway, Aug. 2O.-A
dispatch from Walter Wellman's Arc
tic expedition camp at Spitzbergen
dated August IA says:
" A north gale which had been blow
ing on the 5th dropped on the 18th,
and Mr.. Wellman made ready to start
in search of the North Pole. The bal
loon was inflated and provisioned, and
the motors were working smoothly. On
the 18th the wind was still variable,
but Mr.. Wellman decided to get the
airship out of the house.
"The officers and crew of the Thalia
assisted in swinging the airship, which
was of fine appearance, out of the shed.
The wind, however, again freshened
and at o'clock in the morning Mr..
Wellman ordered the airship back into
the shed to wait for more propitious
weather."

NEW GEYSER RISES.
HurIs Immense Volume of Water in
Yellowstone Park.


Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone
Park, Wyo., Aug. 21.-For two or
three days past there have been indica-
tions of an eruption of some kind near
Fountain hotel, Yellowstone park.
Yesterday new geyser broke out in
full force about 100 feet north of the
regular Fountain geyser, near the ho-
tel. Today this new geyser, which
does not appear to affect any of the
others in the vicinity, played to
height of $50 to 200 feet, throwing
immense quantities of hot water and
steam.
The new geyser does not play regu-
larly, as does "Old Faithful" but at
short intervals, eruptions occurring
five or six hours apart and lasting
about one hour. The crater of the
new geyser is large and the quantity
of water thrown similar to that of the
great Fountain geyser, located some
two miles south of the Fountain hotel,
though the water from the new one is
carried to much greater height.

LAST MODOC BOND is PAID.
Southern Oregon Resident Secures
SII3.47.

Salem-The state treasurer's Office
recently paid the last of the Modoc war
bonds. The claimant was Charles
Sherlock, Southern Oregon man, and
he drew from the state the tidy sum of
$113.47. The face value of the bond
was $3.50, interest coupons $27.52,
interest on bond $10.05, making total
of $113.47.
These bonds were issued under an act
approved October %, 1874. The bonds
matured January l, 1880, and interest
ceased December l, 1881. For many
years there has been but one bond un-
redeemed and recently friend of Sher-
lock noticed the statement of the bond
issue in the annual report of the state
treasurer, and lost no time in calling
the attention of Sherlock to the fact
that the state owed him money which
it was willing and anxious to pay.
Sherlock furnished undisputed proof of
his right to the sum, which was ac-
cordingly paid him.
