AIRsHIP COMES TO GRIEF,
While Maneuvering for a Landing
Ship Comes in Contact With Tree,

Goeppingen, June AFTER cover
ing $50 miles in 81 hours, Count Zep-
pelin's new airship, on its return trip
from Bitterfeld to Friedrichshafen,
came to grief in an open field near here
yesterday. In maneuvering for land
ing, the airship came into contact with
a tree, and it's position last night was
dangerous.
After much labor and with the u
sistance of some of those who M
gathered at the scene, Count Zeppeh
was able to shift the position Of bis
airship a little, and thus get better
protection from the wind.
Airship Badly Wrecked.
When the accident occurred Count
Zeppelin was landing for the purpose Of
replenishing his supply of benzins
which was nearly exhausted The mo-
tors already had stopped and the air.
ship was nearing the ground on
meadow where a sudden strong puff Of
wind drove the PROV out of its course
and against a pear tree. 1t struck WIN
a great crash, smashing the prov
almost up to the front of the gondoa
and crushing the aluminium stays into
a shareless mass, which became In.
extricably enmeshed in the branches
Nearly a hundred feet of the envelope
and frame were destroyed.
Zeppelin Depressed.
Count Zeppelin Immediately came to
Goeppingen in an automobile and tele-
graphed to Ulm for pioneers and 10
Friejrichshafen for workmen to make
repairs. After resting for several
hours at hotel he returned in the
evening to the scene of the accident
proceeding from there by automoblle
to Friedrichshafen. He will return
here today.
Repairs are now being made, but
these are of temporary nature, where
by the airship may proceed to Fried
richshafen. Permanent repairs PROP
ably will require six weeks in order %
get the ship to Manxen. No one was
injured in the accident, but Count zep'
pelin has been much depressed over
the mishap.

A Spanish War Criticism.

When the Spanish war came upon
rs Commodore Dewey was at Hong
kong. The navy department had sent
him no preliminary orders. He didn't
know anything about the ultimate pol
Icy or what the ultimate plan Of cam
paign would be. The navy department
didn't itself know Dewey should
have moved two or three days sooner
than he did, and two or three days
sometimes are vital. But our Wash
1ngton officials were only aroused to
the necessity Of giving Admiral Dewey
an order by a cablegram from Dewey
informing them that the British gov
ernor OF Hongkong insisted that our
feet must leave there. We were SO
dazed by the immediate exigencies of
war that the English government had
to, prod us in the ribs to wake us up.
Then our Washington authorities is
sued an order and not TIL then. They
told Dewey to proceed to the Philip
pine Islands and capture or destroy
the Spanish feet In other words,
they gave him the stereotyped war or.
der in the phraseology Of the signal
code. which. literally translated, read:
Go ahead and do the best you can.
We give 1t up."-Collier'B.

Some one has figured it out
that the 9's in American history
have been characterized by pros
perity. The panic Of 81 was
succeeded by the boom of '39.
In '49 gold was found in Cali
fornia. Pixies Peak was dis
covered in 80 and the mines of
Colorado opened. In 80 the era
Of reconstruction set in and the
prosperity that followed has
never been equaled. In 10
came another REIMBURSEMENT Of
industrial conditions, particularly
in'tbe south, and great prosperity
followed. la 80 came the boom
that collapsed ID '93. In '99 the
opening up Of the Klondike and
the revival Of trade after the
Spanish war brought another
boom. From every indication ID
now looks as though 20 wo,ac

War Between Rival Factions
Sends Price to the
Cellar.
LOCAL DEALERS
ARE LOADED UP
Grown Columbia Company
in a Strife to Worst
Competitors.

Owing to the fight that has been
Waged between warning factions of the
paper industry for the past week, the
price in this commodity has dropped
so low that nearly all of the local deal
ers have loaded up on it for the next
year to come and because of the slump,
many carloads of paper have been de-
livered in Walla Walla during this
week. Printing companies have been
especially fortunate in this, for in view
of the fact that their business re-
quires such quantities of paper, the
reduction in the price is greatly in their
favor One concern, which bought
three carloads of this commodity a
month ago and at the present time is
we'll supplied, has just received three
amounting to As cents hundred
weight or six and one-haf cents a
hundred less laid down in Walla Wal
la than the goods cost in Portland be-
fore the fight began.
The Crown Columbia company, which
has started the fight with the inten-
tion of backing a rival concern off the
boards, is responsible for the trouble
and is dealing with an organization
which is conducted by one of their for
mer employees. The Crown Columbia
has two mills-one at Oregon City and
the other at Camas. Their combined
capacity is $50 tons a day and the
consumption of the northwest is 12O
tons per day AS the new mill has a
capacity of 100 tons daily, there re-
mains a surplus of 160 tons. The new
mill does not manufacture printing pa
per- but the price in this mas been
forced down, nevertheless, thereby net
ting the various printing establish
ments a large profit.
The latest reports today are that
the price in paper has come up to
certain extent, but it is expected that
it will be many days before the old
scales are resumed.
