FARMAN BEATS THEM ALL.
Unpretentious Englishman 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 s 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 flight
officially recorded as 180 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 flight.
Farman s victory was a complete sur
prise. He had been preparing his ma
chine secretly and had not appeared
upon the field until today, except for
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 so kllo-
meters. Then, suddenly, the watchers
woke up only to discover that he had
gone out carrying petrol enough for five
hours flight and equipped with cool
ing revolving motor.

WON'T LET DREDGE GO.
Coos Bay Citizens Put Up Cash and
Want Work Finished.

Marshfield.-Coos Bay people are
making a strong effort to retain the
government dredge Oregon which has
been at work on the harbor. Major Nc
Indoe on stopping here, stated that the
dredge would be taken away before the
rainy season started and this aroused
the people to action and Congressman
w. c. Hawley, who has been in this city
was appealed to for help. The people
have subscribed $2l 900 for running the
dredge and the port of Coos Bay has
guaranteed $4,000 more for its main
tenance. Congressman Hawley has
wired to the war department, these
facts, together with a protest against
the removal of the dredge. 1t is held
that the dredge was built for use on
the Oregon coast at the instigation of
Coos Bay citizens and should remain
here. The channel in the upper bay
has been dredged part way down, but
all the shoals have not yet been re-
moved and if the dredge is taken away,
the work started will be left in an in
complete condition. The dredgings have
been used to fill streets and low places
in the city and without its further use
portions of the city will be left un.
finished. 1t was the understanding of
the Coos Bay people that the dredge
was to remain here as long as money
for it's maintenance was furnished.

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

ServatiOn congress.
Seattle, Aug. 3O.-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 Psrdee replied to
Hanford in spirited address in which
he said that "private greed" instead
of "private enterprise" was gobbIing
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.

SURGEONS knife
FOR HARTMAN
Though Family Guards Secret Well,
Signs Are UnmiStakabIe.
Oxygen Tanks, Cot and Great Spe-.
ciaIist Arrive at Arden-Family Is
Optimistic and Superintendent of
Estat, Says Wizard is Brighter
and Stronger.

Arden, n Y, Aug. 2S.-Whatever be
F.. H. Hartman S ailment, whatever his,
true condition, the public is not to know
uatil he an his family decide that such
an announcement is opportune. All
avenues Of information were carefully
guarded today, but lumors were spread
broadcast that Mr.. Hartman was about
to be operated upon. This supposit,on
was strengthened by the arrival here
of two oxygen tanks and a collapslbe
cot such as is used in hospitals
Concident with the arrival of these
requisites to an operation came two.
men from New York, one Of them car.
rying what appeared to be a black bag
of a 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-
mans physician throughout his illness.
Mr.. Gerry denied the operation re-
port and said DR.. Lyle was the only
physician in attendance.
A. c. For, superintendent of tho es-
tate, confirmed Mr.. Gerry s statement.
"The stories that Mr.. Hartman is ia
a 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.

INVESTIGATION is ASKED.
Cunningham Denies Fraud in Alaska
Coal Land Grants.

Seattle. Aug. 31.-C. C. Cunning
ham, who represented the 33 claimants
in the so-called Cunningham coal land
claims in Alaska, which are being in
vestigated by the government, and who
was aboard the steamer Ohio when it
was wrecked, returned to Seattle to-
day with the other survivors and de-
clared that the charges the claims have
been illegally filed upon, and that Sec
retary of the Interior Ballinger had at
tempted to compel Special Agent
Olives of the land Office, who filed a
complaint with President Taft recently
to permit the issuance of patent on the
claims, is absurd.
Enemies of Secretary Ballinger are
in grave error in charging that he is
involved in any scheme to turn over
the coal lands to parties represented
by me-" said Mr.. Cunningham.
"We court the fullest investigation.
feel certain it will be found the lands
have been legally filed upon. Should
it be found there has been any irregu-
larities in filing, it will be found the
entries have been made in good faith,
and the errors are due to technicalities
in the present law
Mr.. Cunningham denied the Guggen-
helm and Morgan interests are backing
him in his claims.

ATTACK POSTAL MONOPOLY
French Strikers Combine to Compete
With Government.

Paris, Aug. 31.-In few days the
French postoffice is to have an active
competitor in the shape of new CO.
operative postal association, formed by
some $50 dismissed postal servants.
These, under the direction of NM.
Barbut and Simonnet, the postal Off
cials who took prominent part in the
recent strike, are organizing service
in all those branches of the postal bus
mess not claimed as a monopoly by the
postoffice. This includes the distribu-
tion of newspapers, circulars, samples,
catalogues, etc., also the collection of
accounts and debt collecting.
The new association, which will
start operations on Monday, is known
as the "Laborieuse. 1t is understood
already to have been promised the GUS
tom of some 10000 firms, tradesmen
and private individuals, who at the
present utilize the French postoffice
for distribution of their trade circu-
lars, samples, account collecting, etc.
Each of the $50 members of the LA
borieuse" has subscribed $50 share.
Besides this, the association has at its
disposal a working capital of $4,000.
Members of the cooperation will be
employed in turn in different depart
mentS.

Not After Land Office.

Klamath Falls.-Word has been sent
to the commercial organization at Lake
view that the Klamath Chamber of
Commerce is not indorsing the move
ment to move the land Office to this
city. This action was taken by the To-
cal organization at a meeting of the
board of directors, in order to maintain
the friendly trade relations existing
between the two towns.
The object in asking for the removal
of the land office from Lakeview was
not to build up Klamath Falls and
klamath county at the expense of Lake
view, but to make it more convenient
for land owners under the klamath re.
clamation project to make payment OF
their water assessments. Under the pres
ent conditions the fees must be for
warded to Lakeview, causing the water
users unnecessary expense and trouble,

DEATH LIST GROWS.
Twelve Hundred at Least Crowned in
Mexican Flood.

Twelve Hundred at Least Crowned in
Mexican Flood.
Monterey, Mex, Aug. 3l.-Twelve
hundred and perhaps more people per-
ished Friday night and Saturday in the
flood which swept large portion OF
this city. Conservative estimates
place the property loss at $50, 600, 600.
Fifteen thousand people are homeless.
More than 500 bodies have been recov-
cred.
The river has fallen considerably,
and while still high, the danger is
over. Seventeen and half inches of
rain fell during Friday, Saturday and
Sunday.
The greatest loss of life occurred
Saturday morning between 9 and IL
O'Clock, when the large buildings on
the south side of the river commenced
to crumble. Many of the houses had
from 100 to 200 persons on their roofs
and all disappeared in the flood.
In one school building 80 women and
children were drowned. They had
hurried to the school for safety, but
the water drove them from room to
room until they were all clustered in
one room. While two priests were
performing some religious rites, the
walls fell and all were swallowed up
in the seething waters.
Thousands of persons were standing
on the north bank of the river, unable
to render aid to the unfortunates on
the buildings on the south side, for
nothing could have lived in the current
of the Santa Catalina, which was half
a mile wide and flowing swiftly.

Monterey, Mex, Aug. 30.-Eight
hundred persons drowned, Is, 600 home
less and property damage to the extent
of SIP, 900, 900 is the result of fool
that struck the city between IL and IL
o'clock Saturday morning.
Floods have turned the small and
peaceful Santa Catalina river into q
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 smeters and
steel plants are damaged.
1t 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.

Athens, Aug. 31.-The crisis in po-

in the mutiny of the local garrison and
the formation of a new cabinet, has
