A pumpkin the exact shape and size
of an ordinary football was received in
shipment from Oregon City. The
color alone prevents the trick Of nature
from being,complete.
Baker City sent in an onion that
comes up to the standard regulations
in every respect but size, 1t weighs
four pounds, which is nearly the re-
cord in the onion production of the
state.
A pumpkin that tips. the scales at
1872 pounds was among the receipts
from Eugene. 1t is the product of
the fertile Lane county soil. While
the same section has grown larger
than this, the specimen is of
the peculiar delicate color which makes
it valuable for exhibition purposes.
William Blake, of Deer Island, Co
lumbia county, contributed a half doz-
en- potatoes of more than average size
grown without irrigation, cultivation
or precipitation. He has large
field devoted to the same variety of
spuds and expects to reap a heavy har-
vest.
A squash that is the shape of beer
bottle is sent in from Lane county.
That peanuts can be grown success
fully in Baker county soil is amply
demonstrated by the. plant with the

hat weighs six pounds, which is one

quash that weigh from go to IS
'ounds each. While this size is not
likely to break the record the explana-
ion that they were selected from the
verage yield of field makes the dis

EngIish Coast EeeIs Storm.

London-The English coast is strewn
with wreckage as the result of storm
that has continued for two days. The
casualty list is q long one. Bodies of
five seamen from the coasting steamer
Crawford were picked up off Hartle-
pool. 1t is believed the vessel, which
carried crew Of 20, foundered, and
that the men were attempting to reach
shore in small boat when they were
lost.
Some of the wreckage coming ashore
indicates that sailing ship met like
fate. Lifeboats from many points
were out and in some instances effect
ed rescues. In other cases they were
unable to reach distressed craft.

FRANCE TO LONDON
Big French AIPship , Makes Fine
Trip Across Channel.
Carries Seven Men From Compeigne i,
France, to London. in Six Hours
Without Mishap.

London-Another chapter was added
to the history of aviation when the
French dirigible balloon, Clement
Bayard, made the voyage from Com
piegne to London in the remarkable
time Of six hours, journey requiring
seven hours by the fastest express
trains and boats. Compeigne is 45
miles northeast of Paris and about 1876
miles by air route to London.
1t was the first occasion on which
dirigible balloon has crossed the Eng
lish channel. The over-water trip oc-
cupied as minutes.
The Clement-Bayard, with crew of
six, left Compeigne at 7:15 o'clock
Sunday morning and reached London
at about l :15 in the afternoon, making
the trip without stop. Atmospheric
conditions were perfect and the big
airship travelled with a slight breeze
behind. The behavior of the dirigible
was splendid and the 440 horsepower
motor worked to perfection The pas
sengers experienced no discomfort and
were only troubled by the mist in
crossing the English channel.
There was nothing to interrupt the.
smooth, swinging motion of the bal
loon, which averaged 33 miles an hour.
An altitude varying from 300 to 700
feet was maintained, and all along the
route over the land the aeronauts.
were cheered by thousands of specta-
tors.
The balloon made a safe and easy
landing at Wormwood Scrubs.
The dirigible carried M. Clement,
Of the Clement Bayard firm, in COM
mand; Baudery and Leprince, steers
men; Hebatier, engineer and designer:
two mechanics, and Arthur Philip Du-
Cros, members of the British parlia-
ment, representing the British parlia-
nentary aerial defense committee.
Only these seven were aboard, al
though the airship can accommodate
80 passengers in addition to the crew.
The course was by way of Amiens,
Abbeville atnd Boulogne, and the bal
oon was steered readily with the aid
# compass.
The aeronauts experienced some
rouble with the varying air currents.
IN this account they circled st. Paul's
md the Tower bridge twice, dipped
everal times and flew close to the tops
+ buildings. They passed over the
ouses of parliament and along to
Iyde park, where there was a wild
cramble Of spectators.
The dirigible landed safely after de-
cribing large descending circles.

AIRsHIP CROSSING ATLANTIC
Walter Wellman and Crew Make SEN
sational Start.

Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. 17.-Sail
ing into thick fog that hung low
over the Atlantic ocean few minutes
after o'clock this morning, Walter
Wellman, with crew of FIVE men, is
tonight believed to be on an epoch.
making voyage to Europe in the huge
cigar-shaped airship America.
Numerous wireless messages were
received during the day, and the latest
indicated that Wellman is tonight sail
ing through the darkness off the New
York coast.
The men making the flight are Wal
ter Wellman, commander; Melvin Van
imam, chief engineer and next in COM
mand; F. Murray Simmons, navigator;
J. K. Irwin, wireless operator; John
Aubert and Albert Louis Loud, assist
ant engineers.
The start of the America was one of
the most dramatic moments ever oc-
curing here. Roundly criticised by
people who did not believe that he
would ever undertake what was
thought to be foolhardy venture,
Wellman startled the whole island by
bringing the America out of the
hangar and without ceremony going
into the air.
For the last 80 days the public had
expectantly awaited some move from
the intrepid crew. Day after day it
was announced that a trial flight would
be made as soon as conditions were
perfect.
1t was about A a. m. today that the
final decision to go up was made by
Chief Engineer Vaniman. All night
he watched at the weather bureau, and
as dawn broke he decided. Rushing
the crew, who slept in the hangar,
Vaniman called Wellman on the tele-
phone at the Hotel Chalfonte, and no.
titled him that the time to start had
arrived.
With everything ready for the words
Let CO." the crew climbed into the
car hanging from the balloon.
The final "good-byes" were said to
wives, relatives and friends and the
last word to the ground was given.
On the board walk and the beach
was assembled crowd estimated at
about 5000. The crowd stood in awe
As the airship began to rise and sail in
he fog. Then cheer after cheer fol-
owed when the craft began to disap-
oear in the mist. Within five minutes
he ship was out of sight.
Robert Miller, one of the wireless
operators stationed here, kept calling
he America, but it was not until
1:15 a. m. that there was response.
Then out of the air came this message,
he first ever sent from an airship at

SENATOR DOLLIVER, IOWA,
DIES OF HEART FAILURE

Fort Dodge, Ia, Oct 17.-Senator
Jonathan P. Dolliver died at his resi-
dence here at z 80 o'clock last night,
while an attending physician, DIR. E.
M. VanPatton, was examining his
heart with stethoscope.
His death followed an acute attack
of stomach trouble, which affected his
heart. His physician announced that
death was directly due to dilation of
the heart.
Mr.. DoIliver had so far recovered
his strength as to be able to walk
about his lawn. He had been up all
day, and at night entered his sitting
room for the daily consultation with
his physician.
The senator informed DR.. VanPatton
that he was feeling much improved and
that he believed he had about recover
ed his normal strength. DR.. VanPat-
ton cautioned him about becoming anx-
ious to resume his work and then be-
gan the examination of the heart while
the senator was seated in large Nor
ris chair. The physician was counting
the. beats of the senator's heart out
loud. He was frequently interrupted
by Mr.. Dolliver with the declaration
that he was unable to hear his own
heart.
The physician suddenly noticed that
the heartbeats had ceased. He shook
his stethoscope, thinking that it was
defective in some way. Again apply
ing his instrument he discovered that
the heart had ceased entirely. Upon
looking into the senator's face he dis
covered that he had died, without a
struggle and without pain.
