NANCY FRANCE. August o.
Lindpainter. a Belgian aviator, was
badly hurt early to-day in the fall of
his aeroplane at Frolois. seven miles
from Nancy He was taking part IN
the big cross-country flight and had
started with six others to fly from
Troyes to this city.
Racing nip and tuck over the 100
miles aerial course. Aviators lie Blanc
and Auburn led the field on the sec
ond leg of the 4s8-miie contest for
LIE Mathis $4,000 prize and other
prizes OF $4,000,
The race between the vanguard pair
was probably the most thrilling event
In the history of aviation in France.
lie Blanc beat out Auburn by such a
finish as might be expected on the
turf track, but had never before been
witnessed in the air. He drove his
machine to the last ounce of its pow
er and finished at a speed reckoned
greater than a mile a minute.
Auburn left Troyes at 5:33:27 and
lie Blanc at $40. The latter finished
at 1851 and Auburn at 500. LIE
Blanc therefore covered the 100 miles
In hours and II minutes. Much
Of this time, however, was spent IN
"tockeying" with Auburn. and by far
the greater part of the course was
traversed in comparative bFief bursts
OF speed, First one aviator led ana
then the other. lie Blanc finishing
ffrst by cutting loose eight miles from
the city. Both men used Bleriot
monopianes. The 100 miles were COW
cred without stop.
LIE Blanc and Auburn both had 10

AIR-SHIPS ARE DRIVEN
AT FRIGHTFUL SPEED
Big French Race Rus Down Home Stretch Forcing
Their Engines Limit and Crossing Line in Close Finish

Several times during the flight to
Nancy lie Blanc and Auburn encoun-
tered strong currents of wind that
toyed with their machines and forced
them TO grip to the framework to
keep them from being thrown out
Finally, to avoid these dangerous cur
rents, the aviators went to a height
OF 1000 feet where they found the
atmosphere much more equabie..
The seven who started from TToyes
were lie Blanc. Auburn, Lindpainter.
Legagneux. Weymann. Mamet ana
Bregi the latter being permitted to
re-entsr the race after having been
declared out on Sunday for his failure
to complete the Paris Troyes lap or
the race. Lindpainter was the first
getaway, arising at 5:1s:&7. Mamefs
start was delayed by the breaking OF
one of the skids of his machine.
Before all the aviators got under
way IL hsd begun TO rain and the
wind had risen.
II was at first reported that Lind
painters machine was wrecked ana
that he was dangerously hurt. but IT
was found that neither was much
damaged. Lindpainter used SOM
mer bi-plane, and, after repairs TO
the machine, he expected to complete
the trip to Nancy,
Legagneux encountered such a
heavy wind near Jonviile that he was
forced to alight. He reascended short
ly and made a sensational descent
on Nancy, cutting Off his engine wh1le
still 1000 feet above the city and
gliding to earth.

a farctcal romance, written by Win

MOTOR BOATS IN VENICE
Romantic Canals Are No Longer
MonopoIixed by tho Old
Time Gondola.

The romantic canals of Venice are
no longer monopolized by the old-time
gondola, or even the steam or gaso-
line launches. for the American motor
boat has invaded those historic wa
ters.
The first motor boats on the canals
were those ordered by wealthy Vene-
tians and foreigners. desirous OF
greater spsed and comfort than was
attainable by the gondolas. Then the
city of Venice. which entertains some
notions touching municipal owner
1hip." took a hand in the matter and
established a transportation system of
It's own: whereupon was to be seen
the novel sight OF American motor
boats "chugging'' along the canals.
The fare on the municipal boats II
low-about 2 cents.
One great advantage which the
motor boat Is said to possess over the
steam and gasoline launches is that It
does not kick up" the waves against
the houses as do those higher built
craft II follows, then. that the little
American motor boat is permitted to
proceed where it iisteth. not only up
and down the Grand canal as well as
on the smaller waterways that vein
the city. but is allowed to navigate the
narrowest OF other waterways. where
the heavily churning craft are pro
hibited.
There are those who contend that
the historic gondola Is doomed before
the advance OF the less beautiful. but
more practical motor boats. and that
II viii not be so long ere. instead Of
the song OF the gondolier. there will
Be heard the whistle or the horn Of

EnSineer's Report

To the many who are inquiring
about The Cedar Canal and Reser-
voir enterprise near Cedar in San

that / have finished the survey. OF
two reservoirs this summer, one OF
which will contain ten thousand
seven hundred acres OF water one
foot deep with a dam requiring fifty
six cubic yards OF dirt to the acre
foot Of water. The other one will
store about ten thousand acre feet
with less quantity of dirt in the
dam. There is plenty OF dirt avail
able for building the dams at small
cost and the reservoirs are ideal for
holding water.
These reservoirs are so situated as
to cover the entire valley OF thirty
thausand acres or more, by means Of
about eight miles of ditch to the
upper part Of the land to be watered.
There are three other reservoirs To-
Gated which can, and will be utilized

naturally ready for the plow.
IL will grow any crop that Ia

There are several thousand acres on
