London, July 26.-Louis Bleeriot,
the Frenchman who made history by
lying across the English channel
from Lesbarques to Dover a distance
of 2 1 miles, in the remarkable time of
less than half an hour, and his fa-
nous little monoplane both reached
London this morning, the former to
receive the monetary fruits of his
achievement in the shape of check
for $1,000. and the latter to be placed
on exhibition to the financial advant-
age of both the London hospital and
the enterprising proprietor of the on
ly American department store here.
Numerous honors and medals are
awaiting NJ. Bleeriot on this side of
the channel. the principal prize be-
ing gold cup, offered by Captain
Wyndham for the first flight across
the English channel.
Aeronautical experts here regard
Nj. Bleeriots feat as vindication of
the monoplane type of machine over
the biplane type.
The aviator, upon his return here
this morning to attend the reception
in his honor, was mobbed by enor-
nous crowds and the police had tc

TO MAKE GREAT FIGHT
OVER THE HIDE
QUESTION
Western Senators Announce They
Will Oppose Free Hides at All
Times.-They Plan Tactics.
INCOME TAX UP TO THE STATES
IRy Associated Press. /

Washington, July 26.-In both the
senate and the house the anti-free
hide element is making active prep
arations for a vigorous resistance to
any report from the tariff conference
committee which may look to taking
the duty off of hides.
In case the conferees bring in a
free hide report. the opposition will
resort to the tactics of adopting a
resolution of authorization to the
conference committee TO place AL
kinds of leather goods upon the free
list along with hides. BY this course
they count upon obtaining all but
one democratic vote in the senate
and all but four in the house.
The democrats are committed to
lower duties, and. while they would
not directly help the hide men by
voting 10 put higher duty on their
product, they would be willing tC
force all the duty off of shoes.
The hide men think that. rather
than accept free leather and free
shoes, the manufacturers and confer
ees who represent their views would
be willing to concede duty upon
hides.
The fighting will be close in both
houses.

RIVERS BOOM:
RAINS HEAVY

Both the Grand and the Gunnison
rivers have been rising at pretIJ
rapid rate during the past ~ hours
owing TO heavy rains in many sections
of the western slope country.
From Montrose, Delta, Gunnison
Ouray, Garfield and other counties
heavy rains occurring yesterday or
last night are reported.
From many other sections of the
state big rains and few small cloud
bursts are reported.
Streams, both large and small.
Throughout the state are ut high
stages and very swift.
Some damage is reported but no
serious damage has occurred i'm Mesa
county as far as The Sentinel can
learn. There were big rains last night
in the upper Hannah creek country
and near Whitewater but all bridges
are intact this afternoon.
The Plateau, the Fruita country
and other sections had good rains
but no damage was done. Grand
Junction has had several refreshing
showers.
The trains have been running on
fairly good time in spite of the heavy
rains encountered.
1t is not believed that the rise in
the Grand and Gunnison rivers will
continue long and it is certain that
the rise will not get anywhere near
as high as the rise of "a few weeks
ago. -. ~

been more beneficial than harmful.
