Will SECURE AEROPLANE
IF POSSIBLE FOR FAIR
Minnesota State Fair Making 0vertures
to Successful Aviators for Flight
September Gill

An aeroplane will be exhibited at
the Minnesota State Fair of Sept.
6 to II if one can be secured with
reasonable certainty that it will
make flights of fifteen minutes dur:
alton each day of the fair. The
Minnesota State Fair was the first
fair in the west to exhibit dirigible
balloon in flight, and it proposes to
be the first to show a heavier-than-
air machine in operation.
Prompted by this determination
to have a practical aeroplane as, an
extra attraction at the fftieth annual
State Fair, Secretary Cosgrove
cabled to Leroy White, one of the
representative Americans. in Paris,
to offer Louis Bleriot $4,000 for a
weeks engagement at the Minnesota
State fair.
This was Immediately after Bleriot
had crossed the English channel in
his monoplane. This cable was
confirmed and explained by letter
which followed. In the event that
Blerlot does not accept the offer,
overtures will be made to Hubert
Latham, another French aviator,
who has twice unsuccesstully essayed
the channel trip, but who is other
wise one of the worlds most sue
cessful aviators.
Failing in securing an aviator
from the other side; the manage
ment will attempt to secure Glenn
Curtiss, an American aviator, who
has twice won the Scientific Ameri
can trophy for successful distance
and duration flights, and who has
the reputation of manipulating a
biplane with greater experiences
than the Wright brothers, who will
not exhibit except for various GOV
ernments.
There are other aeroplanes avail
able, but the fair management will
not sign contract for any but one
that has stood the test of repeated
performances. The Minnesota State
Fair has already duplicated the offer
of $4,000 for a race between the
Bleriot and one of the Wright's made
by the Alaska Yukon-Paci6c Exposi
ton, but there is no hope of arrang
ing sush a match at this time.
Patrons of the Minnesota State
Fair may rest assured, however, il
there is a reliable aeroplane in the
market the State Fair of Sept. 6 t.
II will have it.

MOORS KEEP UNDER COVER
Spanish Artillery Not Causing Much
Loss of Life.

Melilla, Morocco, Aug. 14.-Friendly
natives bring in reports that although
the Spanish artillery fire is destroying
the camps of the Moors it is not caus-
ing great loss of life, as the Riffs have
built a series of subterranean cham.
bers and passages under their loca.
tons, in which they take refuge
emerging only when the cannonading
is over.
The Moors made an attempt to cut
the Spanish railroad. Searchlights
however, revealed their purpose and
they were driven back.
There Is as yet no evidence here OF
the beginning Of General Marina's
march into the interior. The Spanish
artillery continues to lombard Mount
Guruga, the headquarters of the Moor:
tsh positions. Several modern guns
of French construction have arrived
here, but the Spanish artillerymen are
having considerable difficulty In learn.
ing how to manipulate them.
It is explained that General Ma
rina's advance has been delayed in
order to permit of the complete or
ganiZation of the commlssary depart
ment.
