ST. LOUIS, October 21-After more

landed south of Lac des Quinze, near
Temiscaring and Vile Marie, Pontiac
county, Quebec Province, Canada, at

eled about $50 miles from st. Louis,
which is SO far the longest distance
reported.
There have. however, been reports
of balloons much farther away One
is reported having passed Kishisink,
Quebeck, which is 1,10o miles from
ST. Louis, but the name of the balloon
has not been learned. If this is a
true report, there is little doubt that
