Chicago - There may be no Ameri-

worlds champion aeroplane trophy, in
spite of the expenditure Of SIS. 900 by
a Chicago syndicate for racing aero
plane designed to travel 125 miles an
hour.
: DeLloyd Thompson, who had been
trained as pilot of the Aero club of
Americas monoplane, Newport, has
refused to fly the racer on the ground
that it was obviously unsafe, ILL
designed and unable to fly for single
mile as it stands.
This situation arose after aeronaut
ical engineers, at Thompson's sugges-
tion, reported unfavorably to him on
the soundness Of the craft.
With Thompson's refusal it became
known that Glenn H. Martin, the Pa
cific Coast aviator, had volunteered to
"see what he could do toward get
ting the racer in shape for use.

Dries Grain Rapidly.
Farmington-A hard thunder storm
passed over this territory recently,
followed by strong wind that dried
out the grain rapidly. Farmers and
crews are busy hauling, most of the
grain going to the Farmers Union,
who are operating several large
houses on the Northern Pacific and o.
w. r. N. tracks. Kerr-G Clifford and
Pacific Coast Elevator company are
also operating at this point.
Red Russian is proving to be the
best yielding variety, running as high
as IS bushels to the acre, this being
the average yield per acre from 90
acre field grown by S. A. Ross.
Farmers are selling much earlier
than usual, many offering their grain
as soon as delivered.
The Pacific Coast Elevator company
bought about 10000 bushels at this
point Saturday, paying as high as So

Three County institutions Plan 70 In
stail Course This Year.
Walla Walla Three rural schools
Of Walla Walla county decided to in
stitute manual training in the APP
preaching fall term, and began the
laying out Of . union program through
which they can co operate ia the work
with the hiring Of one teacher only,
the teacher to circulate between the
three schools. This plan was urged
several weeks ago by Deputy Super
intendent Paul johnson, and Mr..
johnson again urged it at the confer
ence Of three school boards and prin-
cipals at Alfalfa, where the plans
were laid.
The schools which will thus begin
the new line of work are at Alfalfa,
Touchet and Wallula. At Touchet the
new school building which is nearing
completion will at once be equipped
with all the necessary machinery and
tools, large basement room being
set aside for this work, and manual
training will be begun on q complete
scale.
At Wallula special hall will be
rented and equipped for manual train
ing, and at Alfalfa room will be pro-
vided in the present school building.
It is planned to have the instructor in
manual training spend two days a
week for two weeks at each school,
rotating in succession throughout the
term, giving each school an equal por-
ton of this time. Mr.. johnson has
under consideration similar plan fer
several other schools.
