Record Over Water.

| While the dispatch does not state how

for distance over water.

crossed is fifty miles broad, twice as
wide as the English channel. This is the

He has been in the English aviation
meets at Bournemouth and Blackpool.
This is the first time he has done anything
sensational
There have been number of sensational
flights around England, most of them
over the water. This may have been due
to the fact that the island is so small one
cannot go far without getting beyond
land
The first and most spectacular flight
that aroused the English nation was made
a year ago last June. when Bleriot cross
ed the English channel He won a $1,000
prize for this feat.
The amount having been offered months
before by the Daily Mail, in hope that it
would stimulate aviation in England, it
was rather disappointment to the Eng
Ilsh sporting public that this prize should
be won by Frenchman
There were two more flights across the
English channel, one by Rolls. who made
the round trip without alighting, and the
other by Jacques DeLesseps

The other great money-making flight
in England was that from London to
Manchester. when Louis Paulhan won
the $4,000 prize of the Daily Mail that
had been waiting a claimant for over
year. This was another French victory
The present fight of Robert Lorraine

MANY HOTELS ARE AFFECTED

Commissioner Cabell of the internal rev.
enue bureau is hot after those persons
using butter mergers blenders to in
crease the butter supply of the country,
ana is sending to collectors and, other
agents of the internal revenue a circu-
lar branding as adulterated butter. within
the terms of the law, the products of
these machines.
The decision is aimed at hotel and res
taurant men, as well as others. but it un-
officially states that hotels and restau-
rants are beginning to use these ma
chimes extensively. Briefly. the decision
is that the use Of so-called butter mergers
and blenders for emulsifying certain guam
titles of milk and butter subjects the
product to tax of 10 cents per pound
as aduterated butter and the manufac-
turer or manipulation to special tax of
$500 per annum, if such goods are sold.
If oils are used in this process the prod
uct is oleomargarine and subject to all
he provisions of that law.
Farmer Is Safe.
The farmer has the advantage of the
bureau, however, as he can sell his mix
ture of milk and butter without running
to. however cannot dispose of it without
paying license and being liable to the law.
The merger machines claim to make two
pounds of butter from one pound of but
ter and one pint of milk. The makers of
some of these machines also state that
the butter can be made richer by putting
in a pint of vegetable oil, preferably cot
tonseed oil. According to the internal
revenue bureau, this would subject the
product to tax as oleomargarine. The
farmer also would be liable if he used
vegetable oil in the mixed product. Under
the law he can use only the product of
his own farm. such as milk and butter,
without violating the law.
The product of the butter merger ma
chimes is in violation of the law because
the law specifies that butter is certain
combination of fats containing less than
16 per cent of moisture. The milk and
butter combination necessarily contains
a large percentage of moisture.
Technical Point Involved.

DR.. Barrios is emphatic about the per-

this as a further argument for an early
resumption of friendly relations between
the Nicaragua and the American gov

Zelaya's Influence Discounted.
Gen. Zelaya has not the slightest in

MADRIZ CLAIMS VICTORIES
His Army Reported in Position to
Defend Capital.
HIS ENJOYS IN WASHINGTON
Ready to Promise That President of
Nicaragua Will Step Down If
Required To.

Commander Hines of the United States
steamship Dubuque has reported to the
State Department that the steamer
Hornet. recently purchased from the
navy for the use of the Estrada forces,
arrived at Bluefelds yesterday from New
Orleans and passed into the harbor with
out any attempt at interference by the
MadriZ forces on Bluefields bluff.
This fact indicates a decided change in
the reported plans of the Madriz forces
to attack the Hornet at sea with the
gunboats Venus and San Jacinto and
SO prevent the delivery of her large cargo
of guns and ammunition to the revolu-
tionists at Bluefields. That no attempt
was made to intercept the Hornet is be-
lieved to be due to the knowledge that
the American warships would prevent
such action on the ground that the Hor-
net carried an American cargo.

Madriz Reports Victories.

Conflicting reports continue to reach
here regarding the progress of the cam
paign in the interior Of Nicaragua. Re-
cent dispatches from Bluefields have rep
resented that Estradas army was sweep
ing everything before it in western Mic
aragua and that Madriz and his adher-
ents were about to evacuate Granada and
Managua the capital.
Cable messages received here yesterday
from Managua told a different story. One
dispatch from MadriZ headquarters said:
"Gen. Maes, with 800 revolutionists, at
tackled the port Of San Ubaldo on Lake
Nicaragua, and was repulsed with heavy
losses. Headquarters of Madriz forces are
at Tipitapa and Panaloya. on the Tipi-
tapa river, which connects Lake Mic
aragua and Managua.''
According to the MadriZ representa- tives
here, the position of the MadriZ forces is
one of the greatest stategic Importance.
1t commands the narrow strip of land
that the revolutionists must traverse to
reach the capital.
1t was declared that the MadriZ forces
had fallen back to positions of their own
choice in order to crush the revolutionary
advance. 1t was explained that the same
tactics preceded the defeat of the Estrada
forces at Tisma, nearby. on their advance
on Managua last March.

Madriz ENJOYS Here.

Clothed with authority to negotiate
for a resumption Of diplomatic rela-
tions between the United States and
the titular government of Nicaragua
DR.. Modesto Barrios and Gen. Sebas-
tian Salinas, ENJOYS of the Madriz fac
ton, have established quarters in this
city at the Arlington Hotel. They
have been unofficially assured of a re-
ception at the State Department, but
no definite time has been fixed for the
visit.
Owing to the fact that the United
States has no diplomatic relations with
Nicaragua, the ENJOYS will be received
unofficially as representatives of the
Madriz faction, just as DR.. Castrillo
has been repeatedly received at the
depa artment as the representative Of
the Estrada faction.
1t is understood that Dr. Madriz is will
ing to make almost any concession to OBJ
tain the friendship and good will of the
United States government and that his
envoys are charged to do all they can to
bring about that result, il possible. The
main object of the present mission is to
ascertain the exact desires Of President
Taft and Secretary Knox for the settle
ment of the existing political troubles in
Nicaragua with a view to reaching an
honorable and satisfactory basis of CO.

What the Hetch Hetchy
Bill In Congress Means
Organized National Movement Opposing Measure
to Save Picturesque Part of Yosemite National Park

RoFEssoR JOHN MUIR. the
great California nature lover,
discoverer of the Muir glacier
and many other wonders of
nature in the mighty west is leading
the fight for the preservation of the
Hetch Hetchy valley. an important
part of the Yosemite National park
new bill before congress proposes
to grant to the city of San Francisco
a perpetual right to use the Hetch
Hetchy valley as a source of water
supply In the last congress a similar
bill was introduced. but such was the
opposition from all parts of the United
States that its supporters permitted It
to die in committee. According to the
opponents of the measure. this was
done only to permit the advocates of
the bill to try again. When the meas
ure was reintroduced at this term Pro-
fessor Muir and his associates began a
systematic campaign to defeat it.
When James r. Garfield was secre-
tary of the interior he gave San Fran
cisco in 1908 conditional grant of
this section of the national Iark 1t
was known as a "revocabe right" so
it was by no means final Former Sec
retaries of the interior had resisted all
opportunities of San Francisco to be
permitted to invade the park
The contention OF those who seek the
use of the reservation is that San
Francisco has no other available water
supply. the present source being in
adequate. Those who oppose the ak
ing over of Hetch Hetchy aver that
several other watersheds will furnish
a sufficient supply to the city. which
wants this one because 1t will be
cheapest and will save money to the
taxpayers.
The struggle has aroused attention
all over the United States An edi-
torial writer in a New York magazine
says, IF a municipal waterworks is
permitted to erect its plant in the
Hetch detchJ valley it means that the
Yosemite park will become the back
yard OF great municipal utility in
stead CT a recreation ground for all
the peopic of the country"
This is a very small valley, the pres
ervation of which has become thus a
national issue. THE floor of the val

to be sure. is largely for the benefit Of
posterity, but 1t is the highly ethical
theory of the forest conservers and
creators that no man lives for his own
generation alone.
There are large bare spots In many
forests which should be reforested. On
the Pacific coast the cut over areas
/ frequently are stocked with a very
scattering stand OF trees and a dense
growth of underbrush
According to a recent publication of
the Forest service only about rs per
cent OF our present producing forests
Is saw umber-that is, of size and
nper mt for cutting into lumber. The
same authority says that from so to
20 per cent could be made saw timber
through concentration OF growth on the
pest trees by Trimmings and the hold
ing or the crop until 1t reached good
size.
Tree crops grow slowly That seems
20 De why the people now on earth, for
the most part fail to devote their
time and energy to tree planting and
CULTIVATION. Potatoes and corn bring
immediate returns Trees belong to
the future so far as their harvest is
concerned But for all that the plant
ing OF trees is for the benefit of the
very next generation as we'll as those
to follow Our own children will reap
the harvest

thirty-f1ve years. The time now needed
to grow tie in our forests runs from
thirty-f1ve years for red gum to $50

Without the forest service a treeless

to be inevitable. since destructive
