CONDEMNED WATER
TANK IS RAzED

The old condemned o. R. & y. wa
terday sawed off the supports under
one side, put jack schews under it and
toppled it over 1t fell with a crash
which smashed the old tank into
kindling wood and liberated dozens
OF pigeons which had been using it as
a home for years.
This tank was erected many years
ago, so many that the memory of
but a few of the older inha bitants
runneth not to the contrary About
four years ago it was condemned and
the man in charge of the bridge and
building department of the company
announced at that time that it would
fall within the year. His predictions
failed to materalize, however.
A new well is to be dug near the
site of the new round house and a
new tank erected there but at pres
ent the locomotives are getting wa
ter direct from the city mains.
The track on the north side of the
depot will now be moved further
north and work commenced upon the
new concrete sidewalks which are to
extend from the new building to Main
street.
Another change was made in the To-
cal yards this morning when the sand
house was loaded onto a flat car and
moved to it's new location on the cor
ner of Railroad and Aura SHEETS.

FRENCH SCARE
AGITATES GERMAN PAPER

Paris.-Franco-German relations
have been SO smooth of late that even
the possibility of a meeting between
the kaiser and the French president is
contemplated. Everything seemed to
be going along nicely until the ap-
pearance of an unfortunate article in
the Strassburger Post.
No doubt the Matin in starting the
aeroplane competition was moved to
some extent by patriotic considera-
tons. The Chuvinism Of Paris has
certainly been aroused by the prodi-
gious success of French aviators. I'm
prudently and recklessly the Strass-
burger Post recommended the Gr-
man military authorities to pot" any
French aeroplane seen lowering over
the Fortress of Metz.

BIG HORSE SHOW.
Portland Prepares for Fourth Annual
Event,

Portland. Ore.-Portland people are
making ready for the fourth annual
horse show, which will be held Oc-
tober 13, IA, and Is. The blue-blood-
ed animals will be shown in the Orien-
tai building at the Lewis and Clark
fair grounds, which has been remod-
eled for the occasion. There prom
ises to be a wide attendance of people
from all over the Northwest and the
number of outside horses TO be ex-
hibited will be greater than ever
Portland horse owners are on the
qui vive and are determined they will
make the best possible showing in or
der to keep a fair share of the blue
ribbons at home. The show this year
will be on a larger scale than ever
before with more and better animals
in the tanbark arena and visitors
from out of town may expect to see
finer stock and more skilled handling
than during previous shows.
Many exhibitors from all over the
Northwest have already signified their
intention OF participating. Vancouver,
B. c., Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, and
other points at greater distances will
be represented with prize winning
stock that have captured blue rib
bons At various shows throughout this
section Of the country.
Kentucky thoroughbreds are going
to be in the show ring and a local
dealer in blooded horses has just had
&C head Of German and French coach
and hackney animals shipped to Port
land from Europe These also will
be exhibited.
The exhibition of driving in the
show ring to be seen this year will
probably be ahead of anything in that
line formerly shown here. The ex-
hibitors from a distance are going to
bring some handsome equipages with
them and this feature OF the show will
be stronger than ever.

LIE BLANC AND BR0OKlNS FALL
Neither Are Seriously Hurt, but Their
Aeroplanes Are Smashed-Moisant
Flies a Spectacular Race Around
Statue of Liberty.

New York.-In the fastest time ever
recorded for the full distance of 62.14
miles around five kilometer course,
Claude Grahame- White, flying for the
Royal Aero club of the United King
dom, Saturday won the Gordon-Ben-
nett international speed cup from his
American and French competitors.
His average speed was a fraction
better than 81 miles an hour and his
fastest lap was 2:55:17, but Alfred LIE
Blanc, in a similar machine, 100
horsepower Bleriot monoplane, was
making each lap on an average Of 20
seconds faster than Grahame-White
and would have won the cup if he had
not met with disastrous accident in
his last lap, when he had the race
seeW:ngly well in hand.
LIE Blanc was running with the wind
under full power at an estimated
speed of 80 miles an hour when the
feed pipe from his gasoline tank to
his motor 1oosened under the inces-
SAINT Earring of the engine and he sud-
denly found himself with nothing but
momentum to carry him. When a
puff of wind caught him he drifted
sideways, still driving at tremendous
speed, and crashed head foremost in
to telegraph pole.
The pole was Ia inches thick, but
he broke it in three pieces as If it
had been a toothpick.
In addition to LIE Blanc's accident,
the program was married by serious
mishap to Walter Brookins Of the
Wright team, who had taken up the
new baby" Wright racer for the first
time.
Brookins was just coming around
the turn into the homestretch for a
trial circle preparatory to entering
into the Gordon Bennett race when
four Of his eight cylinders ceased
firing
Driven by the wind and his engine,
he came hurting through the air at
such tremendous speed that when he
and forward frame collapsed and he
was buried under it's debris. Neither
of the men were badly hurt.
John B. Moisant, the American who
flew from Paris to London, was the
victor in a most perilous and spec
tacular race.
Dashing at more than mile min
ute speed from Belmont park to the
Statue of Liberty in New York har-
Dor and back again to Belmont park,
a distance of 33 miles as the crow
flies. he won over Count de Lesseps,
the French aviator, and Claude Ora
hame- White, the English champion,
by a margin of As seconds.

The octopus is a creature of more
or less dreadful reputation. And now
gentleman who modestly describes
himself as "a genius and an inventor"
comes forward in a letter to Major
General Wood, chief of staff of the
army, proposing to put the octopus
Idea into effect as method of destroy
ing an enemy's warships. He says he
can construct diving boat with
wings or extensions ON the octopus
principle. In a battle the boat would
dive under an opposing vessel, come
up underneath, wrap the wings around
the craft, octopus fashion. and then
sink again, carrying down the ship and
drowning all hands. 1t seems delight
fully, not to say tragically, simple.
But the probability is that the scheme
is much more likely to go up than
the invention Is to take warships
down.

Statistics are always more or less
interesting and especially is this true

Aside from speculations as to the pos
sible growth of one municipality or
another, it is interesting to note the
etatuS Of the native-bOrn American in
connection with the birth and death
rates and even most casual investi-
cation will disclose figures little short
of alarming. According to the esti-
mates of competent authorities the
population of the United States should
be found this year to be in the vicini-
ty of 90.000,000 souls. Deduct from
this the immense flood of immigration
which, since 1900, has closely approx
mated 100000, and the increase in
population meanwhile to have been
something like 100000, as far as ma
Hve-born Americans are concerned.
This is an increase Of but six per
cent. over the figures of the former
decade. as against 81 per cent. for
that just preceding. Thus 1t is seen
that the rate of internal increase has
fallen off fully fifty per cent.
