DERRICK FORKS BEING
OPERATED BY STEAM

Dayton, Wash.--Steam hoists for
operating derrick forks are to replace
the old fashioned method Of hoisting
grain with horses In the fields of Co
lumbia county this harvest. Several
Of the new devices we're sold here last
week to prominent ranchers and viii
be used in the threshing from the
stack.
Numerous advantages are claimed
for the new hoist. one man operates
the machine whereas two derrick
drivers were formerly required Pow
er is supplied from the engine so that
the four horses used with the old
system of hosting grain is not neces-
sary In addition troubles and dan
gers incident to breaking of cables,
tired horses and irregularity in get
ting the grain to the machine often
necessitating a stop, it is said will be
generally used in this county
Among the farmers living near
Dayton who are installing the devices
this week are Ray brothers, George

MANY WANT TO FLY
ACROSS ENGLISH CHANNEL

Calais.-M. Bleiot, the French aer-
onaut arrived here today with his
monoplane. He announces that he
will make a trial flight tonight and
possibly will make an attempt to
cross the English channel tomorrow.
Count De Lambert will also begin a
series of trials with his aeroplane to-
day at Wissant.
The feverish haste of his rivals has
induced Hubert Latham, the aviator
who made a daring but unsuccessful
attempt to cross the channel on Mon
day, hastily to prepare his new ma
chine, which already is On the way
here from Chalons.
NJ. Bleriot's monoplane is of the
Latham type, but is the smallest fly
ing machine yet built. 1t is fitted
with a three-cyinder motor which is
air-cooled, and drives a two-bladed
propeller. The pilot seat is in a
skiff-like body behind the wings.

COAL LANDS ARE
PLACED ON MARKET

Washington announcement was
made today that the department of
the interior has just classified as coal
land and restored to the public do
main certain unappropriated lands
IN the Evanston land district, Wyo-
ming, fixing the price for disposal Of
the tracts there in some cases as high
as $500 per acre. This land contains
one Of the finest coal veins in tie
west.
The tract was included in the
lands involved in what was known as
the Horse Thief canyon cases. Inves-
tigation some months ago by special
agents Of the department. disclosed
that the title to much Of the most
valuable coal land in that part Of
Wyoming had been secured from the
government through a system OF al
legged fraudulent operations ana suit
was instituted against the patentees
to recover the lands. Finally, the
defendants reconveyed the lands 90
the government, paying about Sl0,-
600 for the coal extracted.
This is a striking instance Of re-
suits by the special service force Of
the general land office" it is de.
clared in the statement today, "anl
the policy of disposing of public
lands containing coal at prices based
upon their intrinsic value for coal.
Former Methods of Sale.
"Under the former method of dis
posing of coal lands these lands were
subject to sale at $40 and $40 per
acre, or total price for the township
about $4,000, If sold at the maxi
mum price At the prices now fixed
the lands in this township are worth
$S.134,0 or an increase of more
than $75OO,OOO above the former
price"
During June last coal lands which
had been withdrawn were classified
and restored to entry, the total valua-
tion of which amounted to $1S,543,-
232. At the old prices these lands
were worth $3.50 900, an increase OF
approximately s11,00O,OO0 over the
old price. Since about 60 per cent
of these lands are subject to disposal
by the government at the prices fixed
the revenue derived therefrom will
be about $4,000, 100000 in excess of
what it would have been under the
former policy.

NIcCOurt Speaks.

When the above dispatch was read
to him last night, United States Dis
trict Attorney McCourt said he had
Wickersham several monhs ago to ex-
anime all the cases pending here and
determine which Of these could be
brought to trial within a reasonable
time. says the Oregonian- Those that
could not be disposed of without con-
siderable delay were to be dismissed.
Mr.. McCourt said he had acted ac-
cordlngly He has investigated every
case in his charge and has made rec
concentrations concerning all of them.
He was advised that a representative
of the department of justice would
arrive here i'm May to pass upon these.
This officer will not be able to come
to Portland until September. Mr.. Nc
Court says he Is prepared to proceed
with his cases when the term opens
in October and that they will be dis
posed of at that time as ordered by
the department ..
With regard to the Hermann trial,
Mr.. McCourt said it was the desire
Of the department that Mr. Heney
should conduct that case. This was
Mr.. McCourts wish also, for the rea-
son that MIR. Hency is familiar with
every phase of the case, that he Is
familiar with the testimony, having
personally examined many of the wit
nesses. and knows also the theory
under which he brought the action.
Mr.. McCourt, however, indicated That
in the event of Mr.. Heney's engage
ments prevented his being here, the
United States attorneys office would
conduct the Hermann case.

GIVES UP HUSBAND
RATHER THAN THE FLAG

Because her husband,
John Francis Black. refused to allow
her to fling the American flag to the
breezcs on the Fourth of July and
because of a chain of similar CIR
cumstances. Helen Black has filed
suit for divorce.
Black is an Englishman. His opin-
ion of these United states of Ameri-
ca is not complimentary though he
makes his home here. Not only mas
he tabooed any semblance of Fourth
of July celebrations in his home, but
of divers and sundry times he mas
wounded the patriotic feelings of his
wife.
In other words, Mr. Black is an
Englshman, with enough bulldog te-
nacity not to allow his allegiance to
Chcapside and the king to be shaken
by frivolous American patriotic dis
play. Mrs. Black does not admire
these qualities and she wants a di-
Vorce.
