WASHINGTON, June 29.-Because
of strong wind, the Wright brothers
failed to make their expected aeroplane
| flight at Fort dyer yesterday.
The senate ha& set aside the tariff
bill to allow it's members to witness a
! flight of the aeroplane. These, to-
gether with several thousand others,
sizzled in the hot sun on the Fort
Myer drill grounds, but the Wrights
decided that the wind was too strong
and too uncertain for a flight with a
new and untried machine.
Orville Wright yesterday notified
General James Allen, the chief signal
officer, that he intended to make an
unofficial trial flight after o'clock
this evening. The field was cleared by
la squad Of cavalry and every thing
msde ready for a flight.
A brisk wind was blowing from the
west at o'clock and heavy storm
scattering drops Of rain. Orville
Wright said that he did not mind the
rain but that the wind was the OBJ
jectionable feature. The wind died out
and everything appeared to be ready
for the trial when a fresh wind began
blowing from the south.
The officers Of the signal corps, the
balloon detachment and the cavalry
guard were the only persons permitted
on the field with the exception Of
corps of photogra piers who had OBJ

ers to snap the machine as it went

no signs of abating at $3.50 the trial
was abandoned.

DEARTH OF POSTMASTER TALENT
BEING ENDED, OFFICE REoPENs
Long Standing Difficulty Regarding
WeIlpinit Mail Overcome
at Last.

aPRINGDALE, June 29-Bids are be-
ing called for by the government for
carrying United States mails from
Chamokane on the Spokane river, near
the mouth of the Chamokane creek, via
Wellpinit Mission, to Springdale, a dis
lance of about 80, miles This would
appear to settle the matter Of the mail
supply point for this section of the
country, which both Springdale and
Reardan have been claiming for some
time past.
Several years ago, when the Well
pint office was first established. the
mail was carried from Springdale. but
the office was later discontinued on
account of the inability of the govern
ment to secure anyone to act as post
master. Recently, however, the office
was re-established, the increased pop
ulation in that section and the near
approach of the opening of portion
of the Spokane reservation to home
stead settlement making such move
necessary, and the mail has since been
carried from Reardan, pending a final
settlement of the question of a perma-
nent supply point.
The matter was taken up with Con-
gresham Poindexter at Washington
and the many advantages of Springdale
as the supply point laid before the
postofffce department, with the above
result. and as it is understood that an
other new office to be known as Wolfe
is soon to be established at a point
twelve miles west of Springdale. it ap-
pears probable that this place will in
future be the supply point for all three
of these interior offices.

REFUGEES FOR GAME.
Fencing of Government Forests Is

national forests outside of Yellowstone
park, as refugees for game. There is, .
says he, "a herd of $4,000 elk in the
Yellowstone Park and the forest re-
serve adjoining it in northern Wyo-
ming. General Young, who has been
superintendent of Yellowstone Park
for several years. says that hunters
have estimated the herd high as
40, 900 head. They spend the summer
in the Yellowstone Park and as winter
approaches move southwark to a lower
altitude to find grazing. They can
stand any amount of cold if they can
get food.
'aT. s. Palmer, chief of the division
of game preservation. says that several
thousand of them winter around the
town of Gardiner, near the Mammoth
Hot springs, and in Hayden valley, in
the northeastern portion of the park,
where there is an open country and
plenty of food, more go down into the
Wyoming state game preserve. where
a range of more than 100000 acres

the winter as they are now protected
in the park during the summer season.
The government now has two
game preserves-one on the Wichita
river in Oklahoma and the other in
the Grand Canyon of Arizona-and
action should be taken to provide a
third for the protection of the Yellow
stone herd of elk as soon as possible.
The best place for them is on their old
winter range in Jackson's Hole, which

LIBERTY BELL TO STOP.
Will Be in Topeka on Its Transcon-
tinental Trip.

1t is now practically assured that
Topeka will get a peep at the great
Liberty Bell which has attracted so
much attention in Philadelphia for the
last century-and is attracting more at
tention every day as it grows older r.
w. Hoyt, president of the Portland
Rose festival has arranged to have the
bell make a trip across the continent
the first time the bell has been away
from its home at Philadelphia for such
a length of space and time-and the
first time that it has had the chance to
view the country for which it rang out
the independence and freedom.
Mayor William Green and the Com
mercial club have worked hard to give
Topeka a place in the itinerary of the
Liberty Bell and a letter from the
Portland president today gave them the
desired result. Portland has made ar
engagements with the Philadelphia pat
riots to have the bell make a cross
continent trip accompanied by mill
tary escort from the Quaker city and
while going through the country 1t was
thought advisable to make stops at as
many cities as possible.
This city is making elaborate arrange
ments for the reception of the bell 1t
is expected that it will be here some
May.
The bell will be mounted on a huge
car which will be constructed for the
purpose-it will make 1t possible for an
when on the trip 1t can be enclosed by
a portable portion of the car. mill
tary guard and probably a military
band will guard the bell on its trium-
plant trip over the continent.
The letter to Mayor Green from Mr..
Hoyt, president of the Portland Rose
festival reads as follows:
I'VE are greatly pleased to note that
you are interested with us in having
the Liberty Bell brought to the Pacific
coast during the Portland Rose festi-
val June TIP, 1909, later to Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition at Seattle. /
believe we will be entirely successful
in securing the bell as desired. The
mayor and select and common councils
of Philadelphia are all favorable to the
enterprise and there seems to be but lit
tie now to arrange for the consumma-
ton of our plans. When everything is
assured we will look up the matter or
routing and hope to be able to include
the city of Topeka in the bells timer
airy. The outlook is very bright for the
season of 1909 on this side of the con-
tinent and should you or any of your
people or council be able TO visit US,
particularly during the rose festival,
we will do everything in our power to
make your stay here one continuous
round of pleaSur We can promise a
hundred million roses for our next fes-
tival and We have climate that cannot
be eQualed anywhere else in the world

DIDN'T PULL WEIGHT IN BOAT.
Why Ten Deputy Kansas Grain In
spectors Were Discharged.

The discharge of ten employees from
the grain department at Kansas City.
Kan, following the conference Satur-
day between Governor Stubs and John
Radford chief grain inspector, aroused
some comment as to the why and
wherefore. The reason is simple and
plain. The policy of the new admins
tration is to carry no person on the
state pay roll who does not pull his
weight in the boat Radford had re-
ported some months ago that he had a
dozen men in the grain department
who were ornamental rather than use
full. He reported again the other day
and the report was accepted and acted
upon. There was a deficit of about SIS
600 in the grain department last year.
These ten employees were dispensed with
for the reason that their services We're
not necessary for the efficiency of ad-
min1stering Of the affairs OF the grain
department. That was all.
