FARMAN BEATS THEM ALL.
Unpretentious EngIishman Wins Aero
plane Grand Prize.

Bethany Aviation Field, Rheims, Aug.
2S.-Henry Farman, the English avi-
ator, hitherto unknown quantity in
the aviation contest, in biplane Of his
own design, broke the world IS records
for duration of flight and distance in
heavier than-air machine today and won
the grand prix de la Champagne-the
endurance testify remarkable fight
officially recorded as 1S0 kilometers
(111.7S miles) in hours minutes
SO 2-5 seconds. He actually covered an
extra ten kilometers and remained in
the air 10 minutes after 1880 this even
ing, the hour that the timekeepers,
under the rules, ceased to keep a rec
ord of the fight.
Farman IS victory was complete sur
prise He had been preparing his ma
chine secretly and had not appeared
upon the field until today, except for a
few practice flights, and had been al
most forgotten. Indeed, after he start
ed, keeping close to the ground. while
Latham and the others were soaring
high in the air, Farman attracted no at
tention until he had flown 80 kllo-
meters. Then, suddenly, the watchers
woke up only to discover that he had
gone out carrying petrol enough for five
hours fight and equipped with cool
ing revolving motor.

OPERATION FOR HIM
Oxygen Tanks, Cot and Doctor
Arrive at Arden.
SECRET THOROUGHLY GUARDED
Though Family Seems Optimistic and
Denies 1t, Indications Point to
Approaching Operation.

Arden, N. Y, Aug. 2S.-Whatever be
F.. H. Hartman s. ailment, whatever his
true condition, the public is not to know
until he AMI his family decide that such
Gn announcement is opportune. All
avenues of information were carefully
guarded today, but rumors were spread
broadcast that Mr.. Hartman was about
to be operated upon. This suppost,on
was strengthened by the arrival here
of two oxygen tanks and collapsible
cot such as is used in hospitals.
Coincident with the arrival of these
requisites to an operation came two
men from New York, one of them car.
rying what appeared to be black bag
of surgeon. One of the men, It was
said, was DR.. George W. Grille, of Cleve-
land, an eminent specialist in abdominal
surgery. According to report, he was
summoned to assist DR.. w. G. Lyle of
New York, who has been Mr.. Harri-
man IS physician throughout his illness.
Mr.. Gerry denied the operation re.
port and said DR.. Lyle was the only
physician in attendance.
A. G. For, superintendent of the es-
tate, confirmed Mr.. Gerry's statement.
"The stories that Mr.. Hartman is ia
critical condition are not founded on
fact,'' said Mr.. Ford. "He has a firm
grip when he shakes hands and he
appears brighter.''
The impression grows that an opera
tion of some character is to be per-
formed on Mr.. Hartman, but details
are well-nigh impossible to obtain.

oregon State ITEMS OF INTEREST
MAKING ARTIFICIAL STONE.
Klamath Falls Industry Growing and
Plant Will Be Enlarged.

klamath Falls-To extend the manu-
facture of artificial stone and brick by
an hydraulic process the Hydraulic
Stone & Brick company has erected a
building and installed plant of
modern machinery here.
The materials for the cement block
are prepared and placed in mold, the
back being mixture of cement,
crushed rock and sand at percentage
of five or six to one and the facing be-
ing a mixture of sand and cement at a
mixture of three to one. By the use of
levers a pressure of 100000 pounds to
the square inch is exerted, thus pro-
all the component parts are brought
together to form a solid mass.
Bricks are made of a mixture of
three to one and are the equal of what
is commonly known as pressed brick,
with many points of superiority. They
can be made in any desired color
though it is doubtful if any one will
desire other than the natural gray, as
it's appearance is both lasting and pleas
ing to the eye. Several thousand of
these bricks have been made and are
superior to anything ever seen in the
city.
In addition to the bricks and blocks
the company is preparing to manufac-
ture sewer pipe. Machines for this pur-
pose have already been ordered and are
expected here in a few days.
Paving blocks and tile will be added
and within the next year this company
will be furnishing employment to local
labor and have a weekly payroll of
several hundred dollars.

score of $50, which is 80 above the score
by which Lieutenant A. d. Rothrock, of
Ohio, took the honors last year.

Monterey, Mex, Aug. 3O.-Eight
hundred persons drowned, Is, 600 home
less and property damage to the extent
of S12, 900, 600 is the result of a flood
that struck the city between II and IL
o'clock Saturday morning.
Floods have turned the small and
peaceful Santa Catalina river into a
dozen Niagaras.
Hundreds of persons were swept
away in houses in the midst of the cur
rent which caught them in the night.
There is one chance in thousand that
they escaped. One by one these hous-
es. built of adobe and stone, are col
lapsing and carrying tenants to death.
No train has come into Monterey for
"a hours. Railway and telegraph lines
are down and many miles of track are
washed away. The fate of trains and
passengers is not known, but it is fear
ed many persons are drowned.
1t is estimated that 20 inches of rain
fell in "a hours. The water works and
electric light plants are out of commits
sion and the streetcar wires have fallen
into the streets. The smelters and
steel plants are damaged.
II is feared pestilence will follow
the flood. The poorer classes are hud-
died by the thousands in the churches,
hospitals, public places and city build
ings, waiting for the rain to stop.

BIG TREES IN DANGER.
Forest Fire in Yosemite Rapidly APP
preaching Merced Grove.

Yosemite, Cal, Aug 2S.-The for
est fire which started yesterday in the
Yosemite National park is completely
beyond control tonight and is sweep
ing up the canyon toward the famous
MERGED grove of big trees. The flames
are within two or three miles of the
grove and are being carried in that di-

was threatened during the day, is out
of danger.
The fire has taken a direction at
northerly right angles to the Yosemite
valley, toward the Merced and Tu-
olumne big trees and the hetch Hetchy
valley, whence San Francisco's new
water supply is to come. The fire start
ed few feet from Ell Portal station
within stones throw of the hotel.
The long grass was ignited from sparks
from a locomotive fire-box and had
gained uncomfortable headway before
the danger was realized.

PINCHOT PLAN WINS
Stirring Scenes Mark Close of Con-
servation Congress.

SeTVdUon congress
Seattle, Aug. 30.-The first national
conservation congress closed here Sat
urday afternoon with complete vic
tory for Clifford Pinchot and his follow
ers in the support of the Roosevelt pol
icies of the conservation of natural re-
sources. 1t was harmonious meeting
until Saturday, when United States
District Judge Hanford, of Seattle,
brought in minority report in which
he opposed the contention of the Pinch
OF men "That the water rights of the
country belong to all the people and
should not be granted in perpetuity to
any Individual or corporation.
Hanford contended that "private en-
terprise" had been the greatest power
in this country for the development of
resources and pointed out that through
private enterprises the resources Of
the East had been put into practical
use, resulting in the general prosperity
of the country. He argued against
any change in the present policy of the
government, asserting that the West
ern states had entered the union under
compact that they should have the
same rights as the Eastern states.
Former Governor Pardee replied to
Hanford in a spirited address in which
he said that "private greed" instead
of "private enterprise" was gobbling
up the public domain. When the vote
was taken it was shown that the Han
ford resolution had been lost and the
Pinchot resolution was adopted.

Big Timber Sale in Linn,

Brownsville.-The largest sale of tim
Der land recorded in Linn county for a
number of years has just taken place
here, the lands involved in the transfer
being known as the Martin tract, owned
by local people, consisting of approx
mately $500 acres, situated on the north
slope of the divide between the Gala
poola and Mohawk rivers. The price
paid for this land was close to $4,000,

IMPROVING FAIR GROUNDS.
New Sewer System, New Entrance
and Many New Buildings.

Salem.-Work has been started on
the system of sewerage authorized by
the last legislature for the state fair,
and the fair grounds vii present a busy
scene to visitors until the fair opens on
Monday, September 13. Besides 35 con-
victs employed on the grounds, Secre-
tary Frank Welch had advertised that
as many men will be employed in dig
ging bitches as can be hired for 25 cts
an hour. A 22-inch sewer will be laid
from the fair grounds through north Sa-
lem to the site of the new Deaf Mute
school, where the state board of agri-
culture will cooperate with the state
board of education in the completion
of the project. The sewer will run from
the Deaf Mute school, thence to the
river about one mile and half from
the fair grounds.
The sewer for the fair grounds was
almost demanded by the state board
of health. Besides benefting the state
institutions, for which it was primarily
constructed to serve, it will give the
city of Salem additional needed sewer
age, and those property owners who
have donated right of way will be priv
ileged to use the sewer.
A mammoth entrance is being built
which gives the grounds this year a
more imposing appearance from the out
side. Several new buildings are under
course of construction that will give
more room for the display of exhibits.
All the work is under contract to be
finished by September 13, at which
time the fair is billed to open for one
week. The entries are beginning to
come in, and the Office torce at the fair
grounds is swamped with work attend
ing to the classification of the stock
entries. 1t is believed the fair this year
will easily surpass all previous exhibi-
tions.

HAVOC WITH MOORS.
Spanish Artillery Kills Hundreds, and
Moors Mutilate Prisoners.

Lisbon, Aug. 27.-special dispatches
received here from Melilla say the fight
ing is general on the Moroccan coast.
The new Spanish artillery has wrought
terrible havoc among the Moors, who
have lost 1000 men in the last three
days. The Spanish casualties amount
to $50. A Spanish column has destroyed
three villages near Restinga.
A Moorish deserter who has come into
the Spanish lines declares the Spanish
prisoners, after being horribly turtured
and mutilated, are decapitated and their
bodies flung into hole on Mount Gu
ruga. Estimates place the number of
Spanish prisoners at 1000.
The water being doled out to the
Spanish troops is insufficient, and driven
by their overwhelming thirst they have
drunk from stagnant pools. Many cases
OF poisoning have resulted. Already SO
men have died from this cause.

MAKES NEW RECORD
Hubert Latham, French Aviator, Out.
does Paulham.

does Paulham.
Bethany Aviation Field, Rheims, Aug.
|27.-Hubert Latham, the French avi-
ator, today took glorious revenge for
the hard luck he experienced in his re-
cent attempts to cross the English Chan
mel by establishing new world IS rec
ord for distance, 154 kilometers, $50
meters, or 95.SS miles. Latham covered
Is laps, or $50 kilometers, in hours,
13 minutes, 8 seconds, and the full dis
tance in hours, So minutes, 8 3-5 sec
onds, which are also world 8 records.
The flight was at the rate of about 6S4
kilometers an hour, as compared with
534 made by Wright at Lemans and a
fraction under so made by Paulham yes
terday.
Nothing could have exceeded the
beauty and impressiveness of the pro-
longed flight. In grace of lines no
other aeroplane here compares with
Latham s monoplane. The slightly
tilted planes from the long skiff- like
body give it the resemblance, when
clooe, W d WlnSeu cdnoej WHue SdulHS
high up in the air, it looks from the
distance like mammoth dragon. For
an hour, with fiuttering wings, like a
living thing, it fought its way against
the storm of wind and rain at an
average height of $50 feet, mounting
higher as the wind rose, until at the
worst of the storm, it rose fully 1000
feet.
Latham early in the day, with No. 13,
an aeroplane of the same type, made a
flight of more than 70 kilometers, and
after he had finished, Count de Lambert
covered 116 kilometers, 1918 miles, in
commanding fashion. The flights there
fore in single day totaled more than
210 miles.
