Man Bird Wants to
 Come to Yuma
(From the Daily ENaminer)

1 Mayor F. L. Ewing today received the following letter which is self ex- planatory:
 New York City, Sept. g. Dear Sir:
 Do you want the name of your city to be printed in every newspaper in the world To have the eyes of the world riveted on it for at least one day?
 On Saturday, September g, Earle l.. Ovington, winner of the Boston Globes $10,000 tri-state across country race, will start from New York City in his famous monoplane, not biplane, and will try to make the flight to the Pacific coast within the shortest pos sible space' of time of any of the four contestants. Please do not confuse MT. Ovington's effort with those Of who are flying cumbersome biplanes. The machine he will use should enable him to fly nearly twice as far in a day as any other aviator in the contest.
 1t is the same type monoplare as us- ed by the winners of the big European cross country races.
 1t is doubtful if a monOplane has ever been in your city. Do you not think it would benefit your city in many ways, aside from the publicity and advertising standpoint, for Mir. Ovington to make it one of his regu- lar stopping places? In any event, won't you suggest the matter to some of your leading business men, and any progressive commercial organization in your city.
 Send a wire to either of the ad- dresses above if interested, and full particulars will be sent you as to what will be necessary.
 The route will be selected to pass in the general direction of the following cities: Albany, Syracuse, Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo, Elkhart, Chicago, St. Louis, or Des Moines, Kansas City or Omaha, Topeka, Wichita, then di- rect along the Rock Island line to Fl Paso, or down through Oklahome City Dallas, Fort Worth, El Paso, Deming Tucson, and out Southern Pacific to Los Angeles.
 Actual stopping places will depend on the desire the residents of the diff ferent cities to see MT Ovington and his wonderful monoplane.
 Yours very truly,
 VIM. PICKENS.
 Director Mayor Ewing went around this a. m, and interviewed several of the merchants ard all seemed in favor of offering Mr. Ovington something in the neighborhood of a $200 purse to make Yuma one of his stopping places should he succeed in getting this far. The idea is a good one in every way and should be encouraged by all, as many of our people have never seen monoplane in flight or any other ma chine for that matter.
 If Ovington succeeds in getting as far as Yuma, it is almost certain he will win the prize of $50,020 offered by MT. Hearst, and if he does not get this far, Yuma will not have to put up the purse, so it looks like a good thing to boost along, and at the same time put the old town on the map.

WELCOME TO ELBERT NEXT
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER q

At the present time there seems to be
good natured rivalry between progress
sive towns of respectable proportisns to
make sour Town being more centerly
located in the great Ra in Belt, the best
place to hold the Annual county Fair.
The Tribune goes to press for the last
time before the fair we therefore urge al
those who have the little knocking ham
mer TO bury it, as did the aborigines in
time gone by, and boost the County
Fair. Here is where the farmer from
every section of the county brings and
exhibits his produce to be looked upon
and admired, here also he meets his
friends and fellow men. The day is one
spent in argument regarding soil culture
and crops
Not only this but here oone the
special trains bringing the home seeker,
business men, real estate dealers and
people from other states. What a great
boost and advertisement for the county.
Let us all pull together and make this
event a success.
This will be the best Fair yet held
and the space already spoken for far ex-
ceeds that of any pre- vious year.

1000 MILES THROUGH
THE DESERT OF OREGON
LIN AN AUTOMOBILE
W. R. Parker, Crack Rifle Shot, Completes
One Of the Most Remarkable
Trips Ever Undertaken.

Located in the interior of the State
of Oregon is dreary waste of sand,
absolutely barren and with long
stretches of so to 90 miles between
water. For days at time, at this
season of the year, the traveller over
this vast expanse of unproductive land
braves the scorching enervating heat
of an almost tropical sun, without
having the monotony of his journey
broken even once by the sight of
single form of life. 1t is most
arduous and trying journey at best
when ones means of conveyance is
especially adapted to the trying con-
ditions that must be overcome.
1t was over 1000 miles of this desert
that Mr.. w. R. Parker recently
travelled in a Chalmers Detroit--an
almost incredible feat. At times he
reached attitudes of from 5000 to 5000
feet, and some of the towns at which
he stopped were anywhere from 100
to 900 miles from the railroad. Sew
eral of these had never before been
visited by any one in an automobile.

sentative of the Remington Arms

condition, Clark will arrive Tuesday
from Parker where he is in hard train

to make Miller extend himself. Ed N.
Davis, the most popular 145 pound
wrestler in the state said, ~ have met
both boys in the ring and two gamer

never matched. The public does not
often get to see this class Of wrestling in

PARENTS SHOULD VISIT, PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Would it not be well for parents who
have children attending school in the
town to take interest enough in the
schools and their children to visit the
schools at least one time during the
term, We hear parents complaining Of
the schools, who have no more know
ledge Of how they are being conducted
than resident of China has. We do
know that strangers who have Wis :
tied our schools have gone away and
said that we have the best schools Of
any town in the country. What should
the people Of town feel prouder of
than good schools? What will bring a
good class OF people to any town more
rapidly than good schools? Parents 90

and don't accept idle reports about your
schools and teachers as facts.

EXPECTS
To END THIS WEEK
Democrats in House And Coalition ir
Senate Will Force Speedy Action
on Tariff Measures.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 14.-The
whole tariff revision legislation ques-
tion will be settled this week, which.
in all probability, will mark the clos
ing of congress. Almost all of the
members of both houses are anxious
to get home, despite the assertions of
of the revisionists that they willingly
would remain in session until fall if
the legislation they want could be en-
acted. All the power of the democratic
party that controls the house and of
the effective acknowledgements
republican coalition in the senation
will be centered on quick action on
the three pending tariff measures.
Out Of the present tangled situation,
with the three tariff bills-wool, free
list and cotton-the wool measures will
be the first to emerge. An agreement
between the two houses has been
reached on it, providing for a basic
average duty of 29 per cent ad valorem
on raw wool. 1t will be rushed past
its final stage in the house by adop-
ton of the conference report today
and then hurried over to the senate
for adoption there, if possible, Tues
day, and then on to the expected pres
idential veto, which awaits all the
tariff revision bills. The democratic
leaders are sure of the passage of
the bill over the presidents veto in
the house, but are doubtful of the out
come in the senate.
