cago, have been sold to Mr.. j. G. How
land, of Crown Point, Indiana. He
and his mother and Miss Smith, who

and will also erect an apple house to
take care of the heavy crop.
F. J. Bauham, of London, England,

and 23 minutes later Curtiss made his
first stop near Poughkeepsie, where
there was an. hours intermission. Re-
suming his flight at 1926, he sped
southwark, and landed within the
boundary of Manhattan Island at 10 :35.
Paulhan's flight from London to
Manchester, So miles, exceeded the
Curtiss feat for distance, but not in
speed or in danger. The Frenchman's
average was 44.3 miles an hour and
below him lay English meadow land.
Curtiss followed the winding course Pof
the historic Hudson, with jutting head
lands, wooded slopes and treacherous
palisades. He swung high over the
great bridge at Poughkeepsie, dipped
at times within 80 feet of the rivers
broad surface, and jockeyed like fall
con at the turns.
Only once did his craft show signs
of rebellion. This was off Storm King,
near West Point, when, at height Of
nearly 1000 feet a treacherous gust
struck his planes. The machine drop
ped 40 feet and tilted perilously, but
Curtiss kept his head and by adriot
manipulation restored the equilibrium
of the machine.
With his eyes and brain cleared of
the cobwebs of sleep, he went with his
mechanician and a handful of specta-
tors to Van Rensselaer, Island, in the
Hudson, three miles south of Albany,
where he was to start. Waiting at the
river brink was a special train charter
ed by the New York Times for Mrs,
Curtiss and her party. From the train
they could not see the actual start, but
those on the island witnessed re-
scene.
With the signal that Curtiss was off,
the special train of five cars and To-
comotive gathered impetus and sought
to follow. But so quickly had he flown
that for 21 miles the locomotive, rum
ming nearly mile minute, was un-
able to catch up.

HITS MINNEAPOLIS

Minneapolis, May 28.-Six big build
ings in the factory district south of
South Minneapolis are on fire and the
flames are spreading. A general alarm
has been sounded and St. Paul has
been asked for help. At 2:l5 this
morning the loss was already $780,
900.
Practically every building in the
block bounded by Washington avenue
and Third street and Sixth and
Seventh avenues south is burning.
Among the buildings on fire are the
Sixth Avenue hotel, the oldest hostel
ry in the city; the ]. l. Case Imple-
ment company, the Waterbury Imple-
ment company, two threshing machine
warehouses and the Pittsburg Plate
Glass company. One man was serious
ly burned and may die.
The fire started in the Sixth Avenue
hotel. The wind carried the flames to
the implement companies buildings
and into the st. Paul railroad yards.

End of Revolution in Nicaragua Seer
in Easy Won Battle.
Bluefelds, Nicaragua, May 28.-Tht
government forces under cover of the
fire of the gunboat San Jacinto, today
routed the insurgents and captured
Bluefelds Bluff. This loss to the Es.
trada forces probably ends the revolu-
tion.
This morning at o'clock the Ma
driz gunboat San Jacinto began bonn
harding the bluff, the troops landing
under cover of her guns. There was
only slight fighting, however, until 6
O'Clock, when the Madriz forces sue
ceeded in taking the position of the
enemy and the bluff.
The Estrada troops were under com
mand of General Zeledon. The force
of Madriz in the engagement is esti-
mated at 500, and that of Estrada at
200.
The Estrada gunboats Blanca and
Ometepe escaped up the Escondido riv-
or.
The government generals, Lara and
Chavarria, have not yet attacked
Rama, which is in the hands of the
revolutionists.
General Estrada takes his defeat at
Bluefields calmly. He says he intends
to make further resistance. No dam
age has yet been done to American
property here.

ROADS MOVEMENT POPULAR.
Many Cooperate After Public Meet
in in The Dalles.

The Dalles-Maurice w. Eldridge,
good roads expert, sent out by the gov
ernment, and Judge Lionel r. Web
ster, of the State Good Roads associa-
tion, addressed large audience here
on the good roads movement of Ore
gon. Mr.. Eldridge's talk was illus
trated by stereopticon views of roads
past and present, in this and foreign
countries, and of highways taken be-
fore and after being properly built.
Judge Webster explained the good
roads movement organized in Portland,
and also his plan, by which counties
by legislative act may bond them
selves for the building of permanent
highways.
After the meeting he invited those
present to sign an agreement associat-
ing themselves as the Wasco County
branch of the State Good Roads as
sociation. About $50 availed themsel-
yes of the opportunity. The ladies of
the city were we'll represented at the

Census Makes Big Gains.

Portland-The census enumeration
of the State of Oregon, so far as it can
be confirmed by officers of the census
bureau, will show population Of 675,-
829. The net gain to the state will be
1852, ,343.
While official figures are not obtain
able, comparison of the totals for
each county, as gathered during the
progress of the work, with the total
school population, the votes cast for
judges of the Supreme court since the
census of 1900, and the vote on con-
gressmen, warrants the belief that the
figures are approximately correct.
An interesting feature of the result
pertains to the total number of con-
gressmen which will be awarded to the
state, and the possibility that Multi
nomah county will be declared sepa-
rate congressional district.

SUGAR wEleHERs CONFESS.
Three Checkers Enter Pleas of Guilty
Leaders Still Fight.

New York, May 28.-The long series
OF surprises in the sugarunder weighing
conspiracy trial eliminated today in
the sudden closing of the prosecu-
tion's case and the entering of pleas of
guilty by three of the men on trial.
These three were fellow employees of
the four checkers convicted last winter
of completely in the frauds on the Will

Refining company. All of them work.
ed under Oliver Splitter, the dock su-
perintendent, also convicted and sem
fenced to two years in the Atlanta pris-
on, whose confession and pardon and
appearance as government witness
was the first big sensation of the pres
ent trial.
Counsel for the three men who de-
cided to give up the fght-Harry w.
Walker, assistant dock superintendent,
and Jean F. Voelker and James Halli-
gan, Jr., checkers-to today withdrew
their pleas of not guilty as soon Fas the
government, after introducing some
new testimony, announced that it had
closed its case. Sentence will be
passed on them later.
After a conference of counsel, court
was adjourned until Tuesday next,
Judge Martin denying formal motions
for the dismissal of the indictment
against the remaining three defend
ants.
With three minor defendants elimin-
ated, there remain on trial the chief of
the group, Charles r. Heike, secretary
of the American Sugar Refining com
pany, and his former subordinates,
Ernest w. Gerbracht, superintendent
Of the Williamsburg refinery, and
James F. Bendernagel, the refinery
cashier.
Today's evidence consisted, for the
most part, of letters written by Heike.

Rare Fossils Sought for Museum

New York, May 30.-Two expedi-
tions from the American Museum Of
Natural History will leave New York
next week for Montana and Wyoming,
in search of dinosaurs with three horns
on each nose, and horses with four toes
to the foot. The museum scientists
hope to find specimens of both varie-
ties, the party which is to search for
fossils Of the Cretaceous period going
to Montana. The expedition is in
charge of Professor Barnum Brown,
and he will have three or four help
ers. A similar expedition will go to
Wyoming for researches in the evolu-
tion of the horse. Two or three fossil
specimens of the eocenic age are need
ed to complete the museums chain
showing the development of the horse
from the creature no bigger than dog
to the swift and graceful Sysonby,
whose skeleton is one of the treasures
of the institution.

Grain Fields Fire Swent.

Chico CAL, May 31.-News has
been received here of the first serious
grain fire of the season, in Butte coun-
ty. 1t occurred 10 miles south of
Chico, on the farm of E. Davis and ad-
joining places, and burned over 800
acres of ripe grain, worth about $4O,-
600. Some of the grain was insured.
Scores of farmers fought the flames
for six hours before its progress was
stopped. Many men were overcome
by the intense heat and smoke and had
to be carried from the fire, which trav-
eled almost as fast as a man could run.

young women of Lake county, have
taken contract to peel tanbark and
have pitched camp on the side of
Mount St. Helens, where they are hard
at work. The young women peel as
much bark in day as great many

camp alone in the mountains, at least
two miles from any other habitation,
and are leading a strenuous life, :"
with a pace that would make Roosevelt

its entirety, his flight perhaps eclipses
any fight man has made in heavier

Improve Methods at Cannery.

Astoria-The Sanborn- Cutting Pack
ing company has installed plant that
will revolutionize the packing of sal
mon on the Columbia river and will
eventually be adopted by all the can
neries on the river, as we'll as on the
entire Pacific coast.
This cannery can pack 1000 cases in
10 hours with less expense than it
could formerly pack 800 cases, with
out having can touched by hand after
it is first filed with salmon and in
spected. The primary factor is the
Johnson double seamer, which puts the
top on the can and by series of run
ways the can passes through the test
ing tanks to the retorts by a gravity
system. But one cooking is required,
the venting of the can being eliminated
altogether, and in this way much of
the former loss of the oil is saved and
the natural flavor of the fish preserved.
The use of tissue paper in packing
around the cans has been done away
with and there will simply be a band
or label around the sides, the tops and
bottoms being polished tin, allowing
the can to be opened in the usual way.

1902 FAMILIES ExILED.
Russian Hebrews Receive Notification
to Quit Kiev.

Kiev, May 3O.-One thousand and
two Jewish families have now received
notification that they must leave the
city in accordance with the determina-
tion of the Russian government to
drive back into the pale all Hebrews
who are unable to establish their legal
right to remain outside its confines.
This number includes so families to
whom notices of expulsion were sent
today.
An additional 1913 families living in
the suburbs outside the city proper are
subject to deportation before June l
unless in the meantime they produce
proofs of their right of residence in
their present sites.
1t is impossible to get statistics
showing the number of those already
expelled. Even the Jewish Relief
committee is unable to state the exact
figures, but the committee estimates
that between 200 Eand 800 Jewish fam
lilies have left the city.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE STATE
TIMBER OWNERS ORGANIZE.
willamette Forest Fire Association
Plans to Fight Forest Fires.

Portland - The Willamette Valley
Forest Fire association has been organ.
lied by number of large timber own,
ers of Multnomah, Clackamas, Linr
and Marion counties. The timber own
ers of Linn and Lincoln counties are
getting together for protection against
forest fires during the coming summer.
The district organizations now being
formed will be subsidiary to the Ore
gon Forest Fire association, organized
in this city some time ago along plans
similar to those adopted by the state
associations in Washington, Idaho and
Montana.
The Willamette association adopted
articles of organization and then pro-
ceeded to elect five directors as fol-
lows: F. G. Knapp, E. S. Collins, G..
G. Briggs, r. S. Shaw and c. A. Mann.
The board of directors then elected
c. G. Briggs, of Holland, Briggs &
Avery, president; R. S. Shaw, of the
Curtis Lumber company, vice presi-
dent, and Waldo Avery, Jr., of Hol-
land, Briggs & Avery, secretary.
The association will at once begin
enrolling membership of all timber
owners in the state and in the near fu-
ture plans for patrolling and guarding
the timber will be carried into effect.
c. G. Briggs, as president of the
subsidiary organization, will have a
seat at the meetings of the state asso-
citation.
This will be the first time in the
history of the state that the timber
owners have gotten together in a sys-
tematic way for the purpose of guard
ing against the fire danger. 1t is ex-
pected that excellent results will be
obtained. In years past thousands of
dollars worth of timber has been de-
stroyed annually by flames that have
spread from camp fires or other causes,
but with we'll organized patrols cover
ing the various districts, it is believed
that ravages by fire can be reduced to

Conscription for English Army.

London, May 2S.-Intense resent
ment has been caused in Liberal circles
by the revelation that a movement is
on foot to exploit mood of the nation,
resulting from the death of King Ed
ward, in the interests of conscription.
The proposal is that the national me-
mortal to Edward VII shall take the
form of voluntary demand by the peo-
pie for universal military service. 1t
is argued by promoters that universal
military service is not conscription.

French Scientist Perfects Apparatus
to Take Photographs by Wire

to Take Photographs by Wire
Paris, May -Television, the
science of seeing hundreds of miles by
the means of telegraph wire, is a
step nearer retaliation.
Edouard Belin, young French
scientist, has perfected and soon will
test publicly an apparatus which act
ually, it is said, will take picture
Geographically. Thus the image of a
person or article before an objective
lens in New York would appear prac-
tically instantaneously on a negative
in San Francisco at the other end of
the line.
About two years ago, it will be re-
membered, German professor named
Korn interested the scientific world by
exhibiting photographs geographically.
Pictures obtained were imperfect,
however, and showed practically no de-
tails.
M. Belin, following Professor Korn's
lead, has perfected telephotographic
apparatus in which the senate commit
tee on posts and telegraphs is much in
terested.

Annoy, China, May 31.-The price

poor are unable to buy food. AS a
consequence of this a demonstration
took place at Changchow.
Owing to the practical failure of the
rice crop in certain of the interior
provinces this year, an almost prohibit
tive price already prevails for the GER
cal. A further advance means famine
conditions among the teeming coolies,
whose principal article of food is rice.
