ment to the aeronautical editor of the

the steamer last week:
I'VE will be in Europe two months.
We stop off in England for three or
four days in connection with some

While l am flying in Germany, but
hope to be able to do So 1t is always
unwise to make promises or predict.
when l get through in Germany it
is possible that We may go back to
England. and from there to Spain.
That depends upon how long IL takes
me to finish and later developments.
1 do not think it would be possible foI
either my brother or myself to take
part in the Hudson Fulton celebration
l will not be back in time, and Wilbur
will be too busy, This is a matter OF
sincere regret to me, because we are
very much interested.
Wilbur will continue to carry OF
the business at the factory in Dayton
where we are building a number OF
machines which have been ordered.
hope to come back to take part in the
work in the factory in the fall and il
may be possible that both of us may
do something in the record breaking
line.
Seek Automatic Stability
Among other things, we have beer
working upon several devices to obtair
automatic stability. We realize tha
if We can make the aeroplane balance
automatically in the air while in tligh
it will be a very important step for
ward. 1t may be possible that l viii
try some of the devices in Germany
At any rate, l think we will both dem
onstrate the devices when | get back
if | manage to come back perfectly
safe and sound.
1.-The device which the English have
been making so much bother about Is
an old contrivance with which W.
planned to get automatic stability 81
far as five or six years ago. That was
before anybody believed that even fly
ing, as we have it today, was possible
Since then we have progressed beyond
these devices. We have others which
may be great improvements.

Although detectives have been busily

posed to have been stolen from Mrs.
Edwin T. Earl, either on the steamer
Hermosa or at Avalon after her arrival
there, they have been unable to obtain
any clue to the thief or the where

The robbery was first reported to a

after working Friday and Saturday ON
the case without obtaining any infof-
nation, the case was last night reported
to the local police and Captain Paul
Flammer detailed two of his best men
to try and find the valuable ornament.
Just how and when the robbery was
accomplished the police have no means
of knowing, but the detectives are
satisfied that the job was done by
high grade professional thieves and
that a woman or perhaps two figured
in it.

The Great National Holiday

A base BALL TOURNAMENT
With a Few Other Mild Features

Visiting Patriots.

Last year the people Of Oroville,
after the celebration, decided that
there would be no general observance
of the 4th Of July in this city this year.
This position was taken more out of
regard for neighbors than any falling
off in patriotism, as it was felt that
Oroville had been generously helped
out in other efforts In the celebration
line by the people Of the surrounding
country, and the citizens felt willing
to leave the date open for some other
town to preempt. However, as time
is slipping by and no apparent effort is
being made by ether communities to
get up a celebration, it has been sug-
gested that there be q sane and modest
recognition of the day in Oroville. The
subject has only been broached pri-
vately, and so far no general effort has
been made to sound public sentiment
on the proposition. The hint was
spread abroad more as feeler than a
positive effort to carry out any general
plan or programme. The proposition

Henry Bahrs, who formerly made his
home in Loomis, but who is now at

came in from the east Monday evening
and left for Loomis Wednesday morn
ing. Mr.. Bahrs is one of the oldest
claim owners, mining operators and
promoters in Okanogan county, and is
here at this time for the purpose of
looking after properties that he had a
hand in promoting last winter. Mr..
Bahrs was instrumental in getting
eastern men interested in the Copper
World Extension, on Palmer mountain,
and had the management when that
property was first opened up. He still
has great faith in the Copper World
Extension, and feels that he had been
given a longer chance he could have
made a mine out of it. He is satisfied
that in time the property can, and will,
be made IA producing and paying mine.
Mr.. Bahrs is west at this time as

RIVER COMMENCES SMELLING

The recent warmer weather is put
ting more water between the banks of
the Similkameen river, the first pre-
monition of the annual high water.
There are conflicting opinions as to Il
swollen river prospect this year. Some
people claim that they have inside in
formation as to the quantity of snow in
the higher mountains, and that infor-
nation is to the effect that the supply
is very limited. If that is true. there
will he no big water TO brag about this
year. If, on the contrary, the snow
is heavy in the hills, as many claim it
is, floods can be expected. one thing
is certain the season is now so far ad-
vanced that question as to whether
there will, or will not, be high water
will very soon be settled.

of copper ore that could not be ex-
hausted by means of wagon haul in i've
years. While a large per cent of the
income from the ore would be en-
hausted in transportation charges, yet
it were better for the property and the
country if the shipments continue in

main idle as it has been for so many
months, and especially property of
such promise as the Copper World En-

VICTORIA DAY AT KEREM EOS.

Monday, May n, is the date fol great
doings in the Dominion, it being the
date in the calander that corresponds
with the day of hell and hurrah on this
side of the line, July 4, Victoria day
will be universally celebrated, and
among the towns on this side of the
border that have arranged for a be-
fitting observation is Kcremeos, at the
end of the road. Oroville will help
out the keremeos celebration, as the
local band is billed to blow, and the
base ball boys are expected to belabor
their British brethren. 1t is expected
that large delegation will accom-
pany the band and bail club on the eX-
cursion.
The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1909-05-21

as it has been advanced is to hold
base ball tournament here two days,
the 5th and 9Th of July, the 4th COM
ing this year on Sunday. 1t has been
suggested that the proceedings, aside
from the ball games, be brief, and the
character of those proceedings mild
and rational. OF course there is the
band to depend upon as strong fea :
ture. Then it was thought that a
speaker might pluck few eagle feath-
ers, to be followed by the reading of
the declaration OF independence, and a
spice of vocal music as variety. Nat
urally the interest would center around
the ball games, and it is believed that
a sufficient number of clubs could be
induced to take part to keep up the
excitement for two full days. No sport
draws better than base ball, except
possibly horse racing, but there is no
Objectionable feature about the former
and many connected with the latter.
A tournament, such as is in contem-
plation, would be drawing card, and
its cheapness especially recommends it.
1t would not require more than $3.50
in contributions, for this amount, COM
bined with the gate receipts, would
provide first and second prizes so large
that it would be an object for ball
club to come a long distance to try
and pull one Of them down.
The parties who advanced the idea
of base ball tournament such as as is
referred to above are somewhat back
ward in urging the carrying out of the
plan, as the initiatory movement means
the circulation of paper asking con-
tributions toward the expense. So
much of this has been done, and the
times being rather abnormally quiet,
no one cares to take the first step. The
amount required is very small, consid-
ering the amount of sport the sum
would provide and the crowd it would
attract, but nowadays it is somewhat
of a task to secure even a moderate
sum by popular subscription. The pro-
ject is open To discussion and action,
and if some of the citizens most large
ly interested will only come forward
and volunteer aid and encouragement

MORE SPORT ON THE DIAMOND.

There is to be another gladiatorial
on the local diamond Sunday
when the professionals and business
men lock horns in second game of
ball. The first game was so close that
the victims do not feel that they were
really beaten on merit, and are anxious
to retrieve themselves. The profess
sionals on the other hand believe that
they can smear it thicker over their
business acquaintances the next time.
AS both sides are bent upon straining
every nerve and muscle to win the
population can depend upon hot and
game. No one who went into
over the first coming to-
gether of the rivals can afford to miss
another lnstallment of the same kind
Of joy. The game and trimmings will
be we'll worth travelling longdistance
to see and hear, for the mouth work of
the fans is as enjoyable as the perform
ance of the players.
