DOVER, England. June 3.--In a
British-built Wright biplane, Hon.
Charles Stewart Rolls, automobilist,
cyclist and aviator, vindicated Anglo
Saxon aeronautics by crossing the
English channel twice last evening
without alighting.
He made the round trip between
Dover and Calais in ninety minutes

and Count de Lesseps, have crossed

American machine to perform double

J O'clock. The weather conditions were
perfect.
Flying at a height of from 500 to
1000 feet, he crossed the channel at
7:15 and passed over Sangatte, the
little village outside of Calais, from
which Bleriot and De Lesseps started
on their transchannel flights. He
circled over the village without de-
scending and thirty-five minutes later

throngs at Dover, some of whom fol

ADA, Ohio, June 3.-Muck rakers,
unscrupulous lawyers, socialism and
modern newspapers were severly
handled by President Taft today when
he told the graduating class of Ohio
Northern college of conditions they
will have to face in the world. The
president predicted a business and
financial panic within the next decade
but said the depression will be but
temporary check to great wave OF
prosperity and progress.
Ada, with it's population of 5000,
augmented by some $4,000 visitors,
gave the president the most enthus-
iastic reception he has received in

militia had their hands full in re-

The president was taken from his

was lined with an enthusiastic crowd
which kept him on his feet, bowling.

PLACER OR OIL LANDS

Considerable interest is being
taken here in the many placer
mining locations made on and
adjoining Vincent Lani's old milk
ranch property in the valley about
five and a half mile northwest of
Eureka. Several week ago parties
who arrived here in an au;o from
the west and remained about a
week filed on some 1000 acres of
the land, and last week two
surveyors arrived in an auto and
staked and surveyed the land that
had been filed on.
For many years the peculiar
appearing moist spots in the land
surrounding the LAM ranch have
caused much speculation, and many
have suggested that these conditions
were brought about through oil
seepage that had been forced to
the surface.
1t is now reported that the
parties who recently took up this
ground under placer mining
locations have had tests made of
the earth from these moist spct IS,
and that the ground has been
proved to be of oil bearing
character.
At any rate, the story gained
enough credence here this week to
cause a number of Eurekans to go
out and locate many additional
acres of the land, and they are
nov anxiously awaiting the result
of a test of the earth from one of
these moist spots that has been
forwarded by J. j. Griffith to the
Nevada University to be chemically
analyzed.-Sentinel.

Bank in the Live Stock Company,

certain sheep men of Washoe
County who were here over a
month ago looking over the estate
with a view Of purchasing the
same. Some three weeks ago the
Receiver and Judge Breen received
a communication from Mr.. Turrit-
tin on the subject of the sale of
the banks interest. Judge Breen
called a meeting of the depositors
to consider the matter, and certain
propositions and counter PROPOSE
tions were made by the parties in
terested. The proposition made
at this time by the depositors to
accept S76,362 for their claim
against the Eureka Live Stock
Company was not accepted, but the
final proposal of Mr.. Turrittin,
which was considered and discussed
by the depositors, Receiver and
Judge at the largely attended
meeting held in the courtroom last
Monday, was accepted.
This last offer was that the bank
take $40, 900 for its entire interest
in the Live Sock Company. II
was acceptable to the dcpositors,
and Judge Brecn stated the bid
would meet with the approval of
the Court, it being a cash offer,
with the money on hand
would enable him to declare another
