tance from Osnabrock to Langdon,
with the exception of about three,
miles, following the railroad track,
when he was compelled to alight in a
field of wheat owing to running out of
gasoline. An automobile from the
Wild farm was soon on the scene,
having noted the aeroplane's descent.
The car brought Webster to Langdon,
where gasoline was soon obtained and
the wind-up of one of the biggest
AVIATION flights ever undertaken in
the state accomplished in short order.
More than thousand Langdon people
and hundreds for miles around, who
had been on the look out for the COM
ing of the birdman, witnessed his ap-
proach to town and saw the bip]ane
gliding gracefully over the town, then
circling once mid air it gracefully
descended with sweeping dive from
the east alighted on the center of the
fair grounds without the slightest jar
or vibration either to the machine or
its daring occupant, Aviator Webster,
who pulled off the stunt that means
much for advertising the fair and at
the same time establishes a new
record for aviation flights in North
Dakota and as far as we know in the
entire northwest.

ELEVEN HAVE ENTERED
IN THE EARN CONTEST

Trophy Cups Done This Week

Eleven entries have been made in
the farm contest feature of the Cava-
lier county fair for this year and
though the number of entries is not
as large as in 1914, when seventeen
farms were entered, there promises to
be quite a close contest to decide the
winner of the trophy cup in more than
one of the districts, while the selec-
tion of the winner of the sweepstakes
trophy cup will present task of still
greater difficulty for the judges. The
work Of inspecting the eleven farms
entered in the contest was commenced
on Monday of this week, the judge
who will decide on the number Of
points scored by the various contest
ants being E. G. Rudolph, of Aber-
deen, S. D., who is being accompani-
ed in the four days tour which he is
making over the county by Messrs
Haw and Kristjansen, Of the better
farming association, who are the
superintendent Of this division of the
fair and Manager E. D. Stewart Of
the experimental farm, who is the
president of the fair association.
The following is the list of those
who have farms entered in the con-
test this year:

Tuesday was certainly one Of Lang
don's big days. In addition to bring
ing to a successful close the five dav
Chautauqua assembly there was an
' Uncle Toms Cabin company here
putting on one night stand under
canvas, while during the afternoon
Aviator Harry Webster, of Duluth,
completed his overland flight from
Hamilton, N. D., to the Langdon fair
grounds where he is in readiness for
his contracted flights two days of next
week during the county fair. Aviator
Webster passed over and made stops
at most Of the towns enroute, and his
tifty-nine mile flight is sure to prove
one of the big drawing cards which
will insure a crowd Of visitors at the
fair. There was almost as much do
ing and general excitement in Lang
don as there will be next week when
the fair will be on with its five to six
thousand visitors. We believe that
these figures are not one bit exag-
gerated, especially if the weather
conditions are favorable.

LAWN TENNIS TOURNAMENT

doubles will be played on the courts
here. The visiting players from the
end town arrive on the afternoon
train, the games commencing immedi-
ately following their arrival, while
it is expected that the finals will not
be reached until after supper. The
local players are planning for good
time and the proper entertainment of
the visitors who, if not successful in
winning the tournament, will at least
return home with pleasant memories
of their trip to the county seat.

senger Scotch coolie dog, which had
made the trip in crate from Rich
mond, Va, distance of upwards
1900 miles. 1t had been sent to Mr..
Crockett by j. McPhai], one of the
we'll known old Langdon pioneer resi-
dents and business men. The dog is
a pedigreed animal and apparently
was none the worse for its long trip
the indications being that his wants
had been we'll looked after by the ex-
pressmen, who are quite human, en-
cept in the way in which they handle
a trunk. The charges on the dog from
Richmond to Langdon were about
eight dollars.

ANOTHER AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENT LAST WEEK
Grand Forks Man Dlslocates Collar Bone In Bad
Accident Near Lanqdon

Friday forenoon of last week an.
other automobile accident was added
to the list of happenings of this kind
which seem w-a-days to be coming
somewhat numerous. This time Mr..
Olaf Garden, a travelling salesman of
the Minneapolis Thresher Co., with
headquarters in Grand Forks, was the
victim and the scene of the accident
was on the road along the town line
between Harvey and Loan, near the
Robert Scott farm. Mr. Garden was
accompanying l. C. B. Smith, of the
farm machinery firm of Smith Bros.
Of Osnabrock, on trip north to the
boundary line and it was while return
ing to the Brock that at the Scott
corner the knuckle of the steering
wheel rod worked loose causing Mr..
Smith to lose control of his car,
which ran onto a large stone that at
this point obstructs the road. The
car had been slowed down by applying
brakes but not in time to prevent it
colliding with the stone, smashing
and upsetting the car. Both occu-
pants were thrown out, Mr.. Garden
sustaining dislocation of the collar
bone and severe bruises while Mr..
Smith escaped with nothing worse
than bad shaking up which left him
feeling sore for few days. They
were brought into Langdon by Robert
Murie, both taking the afternoon train
south after Mr.. Garden had visited
the doctor and had his dislocated
shoulder pat back into place The
Smith car was brought into town
Saturday and is undergoing repairs at
the Sparkling garage.

LANGDON'S CHAUTAUQUA
SCORED A BIG SUCCESS
Contract Signed for Return Engage
ment of Redpath-Vawter Co.
Here Next Summer

Langdon' second annual Chautau-
qua closed its five day assembly on
tuesday evening with a program pre-
sented by the Boucher grand opera
company before an audience which
practically filled every seat in the
large tent on the school grounds,
where the afternoon and evening en-
tertainments have been held since the
opening of the assembly last Friday
afternoon. Their last program Tues
day evening, the presentation of The
Bohemian Girl, - was indeed a big
musical treat for, this community.
The same company also gave prelude
in the afternoon, preceding an address
by Chas. A. Plattenburg, who is an
]owan, and found deep interest giv-
en- by the audience in what he had to
say in almost an hours talk on 1.-The
Community of Interest. - To show
that it meant something every busi-
ness man in Langdon was present and
they had the satisfaction of listening
to an address that would awaken the
people of any town. 1t is really put
ting it quite mildly to state that Mr..
Plattenburg is live wire with live
message and in Langdon was recei-
we'd with an earnest attention that is
bound to show results before long.
The appreciation of what he said was
so manifest that at the close of the
afternoon session an impromptu ban
quet was given by the members of the
Langdon commercial club at which he
was the guest of honor
Taking the Chautauqua as whole
it may be said that it proved q deci.
ded success financially as we'll as il
its entertaining features, which were
even stronger and better than wher
the Relpath- Vawter people first came
to Langdon and gave such genera
satisfaction year ago. Langdon il
on their schedule for a 1916 five da,
assembly, a contract being signed b,
the local promoters yesterday after
l. noon.

HIS SIXTY MILE FLIGHT

Cavalier County Fair is Well Advertised
in Birdman H. Webster's Big Overland
Flight to Langdon From Hamilton Seen
By Thousands Webster Makes New
Aviation Record for State in His Flight
Aviator Harry Webster, of Duluth,
who is under contract to make flights
at the county fair to be held in Lang
don on Wednesday and Thursday of
next week, arrived in the city Tues
day afternoon about half past four
O'Clock, making the flight from
Hamilton where he was one of the
attractions at the Pembina county
fair, in his eighty horse power Curtis
biplane. The trip of Aviator Webster
from Hamilton, which is distance Of
ffty-nine miles east of Langdon was
witnessed by thousands of people
along the route he traversed and is
already proving to be one of the big
gest pieces of advertising for the
Cavalier county fair that could be
asked for.
1t had been Mr.. Webster's intention
to make the flight to Langdon on
Monday evening, in fact he had every
thing in readiness for the start and
had notified the fair management that
he was coming, when at the sugges-
tion of Langdon parties he deferred
the start untill Tuesday morning. In
the meantime the telepone had been
kept busy and it was generally made
known that the airship was coming to
Langdon from Hamilton under its own
power instead of being shipped from
there by train.
The start was made from Hamilton
shortly before eleven o'clock under
the most favorable conditions and the
run as far as Osnabrock made in
average time, the birdman keeping
the aeroplane at an average height of
about two hundred feet up in the air
in plain view of the people for miles
around over the country he traversed.
Webster spent an hour at Osnabrock
giving the engine and the plane a
thorough overhauling before resuming
his fight and had negotiated the dis

DONATES A LANGDoN SCHOOL BEL

Within the past week the board of
education of the Langdon city schools
has received large $50 pound bell
for the school, presented to it by the
two daughters and son of the late
Robert E. Langdon, of St. Paul,
whose name our town bears. Mr..
Langd2n was the contractor who built
this branch of the CT Northern at
the time of its extension from Park
River in 1887. Since then himself
and family have at different times
exhibited much interest in our city's
welfare, which only this week is be-
ing attested to in such handsome
and substantial manner. The bell has
been on display at Hunter & Steven
sons farm machinery warehouse since
its arrival and will be placed over the
school building as soon as suitable
tower for it has been erected. The
great need of bell has been supplied
and comes to US from a source whence
it can be best and most deeply appre-
ciated, from the members of the fam
lily of the late Robert 8. Langdon, the
founder of our town.

EVERYTHING is NOW READY
FOR CAVALIER COUNTY FAIR
Entries Coming in Good Shape for
Exhibits and Racing Events
Thousands Coming

Cavalier county's seventh annual
fair to be held in Langdon Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday of next
week, July 9th, 2Sth and 29th, will
undoubtedly be the biggest attended
and the most successful in every way
of any event of its kind ever held in
the northern part of the state
From the office of the secretary it
is already learned that entries in both
the horse and live stock exhibit de-
partments have begun to come in with
the outlook for fine display of the
different breeds in all classes of farm
stock.
l.. A. Weed who is the superinten-
dent of the speed department, has
been here most of the week from
Hannah and states that Judging from
the number of inquiries that have
been made all the race events are
pretty certain to be filled.
The program of athletic events in
the field meet, a new feature on the
program this year, already has up
wards of sixty entries, representing
! nearly if not all the schools in the
larger towns of the county.
In order to handle the looking after
of the constantly growing demand for
space for exhibits in the womans de-
partment at the fair the management
has made division of this depart
ment and placed Mrs. Jennie Moran in
charge as superintendent of the fancy
work, sewing, ETC., while Mrs. w. A.
Mcintyre will be at the head of the
display of cooking, canning and pre-
serving.
The fair management states that
judging Of horses at the fair this year
will be done by a judge of horses
from Brandon, Man, who is being
sent here by the secretary of the
Brandon fair association The know
ledge and judgment of horse flesh Of
this gentlemen is attested to by the
fact that he has been the official in
spector and judge of horses for the
provincial government Of Manitoba
for the past ten years.
Three of the judges Of exhibits at
the fair this year come from Pembina
county in return for the services rem
dered the fair held at Hamilton last
week when Messrs Jas Austin, Ed.
d. Stewart, B. E. Groom and Miss
Anna Mclean each took part in
awarding the prizes on exhibits in the
various departments Pembina county
will have larger number Of visitors
at our fair next week than ever in
years past.
