EXPERT SAYS TOBACCO is
COMING STATE INDUSTRY

Tobacco can be grown in California as well
in Porto Rico, and this state is the
verge of a great industry which In years to
come will add millions in income, according
to George Spiae ;,39 East First street. an
expert cigar maker
Spiael has cured a small quantity of tobacco
grown in San Gabriel, and he says that in
quality it equals that of the best Havana
tobacco grown.
The tariff raise has created a domestic mar
ket Of increasing Importance to the tobacco

be compromised.

he would have further conferences
with the attorney general on the sub

MAKES ANoTHnR REooRp.
Paulhan Flies 90 Miles and Returns
Safely to Starting Point.


Aviation Field, Los Angeles, Jan. 10.
Louis Paulhan, in his Farman BIZ
plane, made today what aviation ex-
perts here consider the most remarka-
BILE cross-country fight in rlstory.
On the wings of a wind that the
other aviators hesitated to face, the
little Frenchman rode from Aviation
field 20 "Lucky" Baldwin, 8 ranch, 23
miles away, circled the old Santa Anita
racetrack and bucked his way back to
his tent.
In all he covered an estimated dis
tanee of 4712 miles in one hour, 2 min
utes, AZ 2-5 seconds. He went down
with the wind in 30 minutes and came
back against it in 33 minutes, leaving
off the odd seconds.
The country over which he Travelled
was the valley lands of the San Gabriel
river and the plateau leading to the
ocean. He could have landed at almost
any place, but he did not. When he
climbed out of his car he said his motor
was as cool as when he started and
that he could do the trip over again at
once.
In sheer beauty and contempt Of
danger the flight rivals that seen on
any of the aviation fields of the old
world. The only test approaching it
in this country was that made by Will
bur Wright last fall, flying with an
army officer from Washington to Alex
andria and return, distance of ten
miles.
Bleriot, Latham, Farman and Cody
have made flights nearly as long, per-
haps, but they have not come back.
Cody few 40 miles at Aldershot in 62
minutes last fall. Farman took 20
mile run to spend day shooting with
a friend, but he landed at one end Of
his journey.
Cortlandt F. Bishop, president of the
Aero club of America, said tonight that
he did not know of any fight equal to
Paulhan' s. 1t is probable that the
prize of $4,000 will go to the French
man.
There will be good deal of official
pondering and cabling, however, before
new world record is added to the
glory that already belongs to France.
Paulhan maintained an altitude of
from 1000 to 1000 feet on his way over
the valley. His highest point was 213O
feet, as indicated by the instrument in
his car. Under him, speeding over the
country roads, scattering chickens and
domestic animals, were motors trying
to keep in touch with him in case he
should fall or have to descend. Nine.
Paulhan followed in an automobile,
praying and crying.
When Paulhan reached the grand
stand, on his return, he was mobbed.
The crowd broke through the barriers.
The spell under which they had sat for
an hour straining to see the speck in
the sky, broke in an ecstasy. The avi-
ator was lifted up and borne over the
field as a football hero would be
treated, after a championship game.
His own countrymen kissed him and
wept in joy.
