In some absorbing and disappointed

In 1S90 the consumption of cigan
In the United States was 4,000,000,000
In 1908 the total was just double, oi
8,000,000,000. That represents a
great deal of money to go up In
smoke, but It also shows that the
tobacco business Is enormous. And
as most of the cigars are made ol
American tobacco the growing of the
"weed" Is of Importance agricultu
rally. China wants Americans to partlc
Ipate in the new loan that is to be
applied to railroad building and to the
development of the resources of the
empire. The present wideawake rul
era of the Celestial Kingdom are
aware of the value of disinterested
American friendship and of the useful
ness in their business of American
ideas.
The first airing of the little Dutch
princess brought good luck, as the
soldier who saw the royal baby and
gave the heiress to the throne her
first salute was rewarded with a bank
note. It Is a happy augury that the
first official act connected with the
baby princess' life was the cause of
honor to herself and happiness to
others. The precedent should serve
as a good one for her future reign.
The proposed tax on American
motor tourists in England of over
$200, even for a visit of a few days,
will result In cutting the tight little

Itinerary. And as American tourists
are a very profitable European sum
mer investment; the short-sighted au
thors of the tax will be the sorriest
of all if It is Imposed. The idea In
Europe apparently is, "When short of
funds, tax Americans more ways."
A wild coffee plant discovered In

charge of shot into the body of the
already dead Dobson.
The Moores were arrested by a
deputy sheriff and taken to Monument

be taken to Carlsbad and committed to
jail.
Details are but meager, but from all
accounts the murder, for cold-blooded
fiendishness, nas no parallel In that
part of New Mexico.
New Mexico Irrigation Enterprises.
That irrigation is becoming a valua
ble factor in the upbuilding of New
Mexico is the belief expressed in a
recent interview at Denver by J. C.
Van Houten, vice-president and gen
eral manager of the St. Louis, Rocky
Mountain & Pacific Railroad.
"There are several projects either
completed, in course of construction
or contemplated that are bound to
make Northern New Mexico blossom
like a rose garden within the next ten
years," said Mr. Van Houten. "Among
these are the French Land & Irriga
tion Company, located at the Junction
of the Santa Fe and El Paso & South
western Railroads, which had 4,000
acres ut'uer cultivation this year, and
now has 25,000 acres under water; the
colony of Dunkards at Miami; the
Maxwell Irrigation Lands Company,
owned by Colorado Springs people, I
which has Just finished a system to
irrigate 20,000 acres west of Maxwell,
on the Santa Fe, and a number of oth
ers now under way."
The discovery of rich ore in the
vicinity of this road is alBo an item of
considerable interest. Also old mines
which produced Into the hundreds of
thousands of dollars are being rejuven
ated.
Charles C. Tannehlll has been elect
ed president of the Roswell Commer
cial Club. He succeeds Postmaster
Robert Kellehln. Mr. Tannehlll will
arrange for a boosters' excursion
through Texas and Louisiana.
It has been decided to hold the in-
nual territorial convention of the Vol
unteer Firemen's Association at "aria-
bad in September. Carlsbad will make
elaborate preparations to entertain the
visiting firemen with a program of
sports and amusements, including hose
races and other fire fighting exhibi
tions. -
HOW M. BLERIOT
WON THE PRIZE
FRENCH AEROPLANI3T DESRIBES
HIS FLIGHT ACROSS THE
ENGLISH CHANNEL.
RIVALS DISCONSOLATE
WA OUT OF 8IGHT OF LAND IN
TEN MINUTES AFTER
8TARTINQ.
Dover. Louis Bleriot, a French
man, at last has succeeded in crossing
the English Channel in an airship.
This sleepy seaport town experi
enced the keenest thrill known in a
generation when, at sunrise Sunday, a
white-winged, birdlike machine with
loudly-humming motor, swept out from
the haze obscuring the sea toward the
distant French coast, and, circling
twice above the high, chalky cliffs of
Dover, alighted on English soil.
Bleriot, portly and redmustached,
calmly descended from the saddle,
limping on a bandaged foot, which had
been burned on his previous overland
flight. Immediately two compatriots
who had been waving a big trl-colored
flag as a signal for the landing place,
fell upon him enthusiastically, ni-
bracing him, shouting and pounding
him on the back. Tney, witn a tew
soldiers, and others who happened to
be on the scene, were the only per
sons to witness the finish of a re
markable feat.
By his achievement Bleriot won tha
prise of $5,000 offered by the London
Dally Mail for the first flight across
the English Channel, and stole a
march on his rivals Hubert Latham
and Count de Lambert, both of whom
had hoped to make the attempt today.
Bleriot described his remarkable
flight very modestly.
"I arose at 3 o'clock," he said, "and
went to the aeroplane shed. Finding
everything In order on the trial spin,
I decided to make the flight. The
French torpedo boat destroyer which
was in attendance, was signalled and
It put out about four miles. Then 1
rose In the air and pointed directly
to Dover. After ten minutes I was
out of sight of land and left the war
ship well behind. For a few minutes
I could not see either coast, nor any
boat. I tried to keep at on average
height of 250 feet. I might easily have
gone higher but It would have served
no purpose. This was about the right
height, I thought, to clear Dover cliffs
safely.
"The machine dipped toward the wa
ter several times. I put on more pe
trol once. I estimate that the propel
lers were going 1,200 to 1,400 revolu
tions a minute.
"The first objects I saw were ships
off the English coast; then I observed
Deal, and I discovered that the wind,
which was southwest, was carrying
me thither. I veered to the southward
to Dover Castle, and then saw friends
flourishing a flag in a valley suitable
for landing. I made two circles while
lessening the speed and then dived
down, but I came in contact with the
ground sooner than I expected. Both
the machine and myself were badly
shaken up.
"A few persons quickly assembled
and I was helped out, as my Injured
foot was painful. I am exceedingly
glad to be here."
M. Bleriot's friends took him quick
ly to the old Lord Wardon hotel.
Meanwhile his wife arrived on the de
stroyer. She emrbraced him, weeping,
but they were soon sitting at break
fast, tha center of a proud gathering
of French people. The mayor and
other Dover officials welcomed M.
Bleriot in the name of the city and
nation, as tire pioneer of International
flight.
Bleriot said, however, that he had
absolute control of the machine
throughout and had no fear that the
motor would fail. The only difficulty
he experienced was the force of the
wind, which hurt his face and eyes
badly, and the wind eddies which
twisted hlB machine about while Hear
ing the English coast.
Count De Lambert came from Ca
lais by boat to congratulate his rival.
A telegram arrived from Hubert
Latham, who a few days ago failed in
bis attempt to cross the channel, say
Ing:
"I hope to follow yeu soon."
Bleriot early announced that if
Latham erossed the same day he
would share the prize with him.
The American consul at Calais,
James B. MUlner, who came here with
Count Lambert, said on his arrival
that he had left Latham sitting with
his head on his monoplane weeping.
Aeroplane Crosse English Cnannel.
Dover. Louis Bleriot, the French
aviator, accomplished the remarkable
Teat of flying across the English Chan
nel Sunday morning in Í3 minutes.
The distance from his starting point!
near Calais, to Dover, is about 21
miles, and h therefore traveled at the
rate of nearly a mile a minute. The
aviator left the French shore at 4:30
and within a few minutes sighted the
white cliffs of Albion. He descended
gracefully In the Northfall meadow
behind Dover Castle, at 4:53 a.m.

Tuberculosis Conference.
Under the auspices of the Swedish .
National League Against Tubérculo-
sis, the International Tuberculosis con-
ference held its annual meeting in
Stockholm July 8 to 10. Among the
American speakers on the program
were Dr. Hermann M. Biggs of New
York and Dr. John C. Wise, medical
director of the United States navy,
who was the official representative of
this country. Two subjects of special
Interest discussed were; "Care of
Tuberculous Families, Especially of
Healthy Children," and "Tuberculosis
and the Schools."
Pathos In a Fire Report.
In the annual report of the fire mar
shal of Kentucky the following extract
is not without a suggestion of "Little
Boy Blue:"
"Among the oddB and ends of the
attic, usually are vanished furniture,
rags smeared with grease to take fire
themselves, painting oils liable to
take fire when the sun beats on the
roof, and broken toys of children who
are grown and gone awav. or who
.went to sleep long ago."
SURPRI8ED HIM
Doctor's Test of Food.
A doctor in Kansas experimented
with his boy In a test of food and
gives the particulars. He says:
"I naturally watcL the effect of dif
ferent foods on patients. My own lit
tle son, a lad of four, had been 111
with pneumonia and during his conva
lescence did not seem to care for any
kind of food.
"I knew something of Grape-Nuts
and Its rather fascinating flavor, and
particularly of its nourishing and
nerve-building powers, so I started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from
the first dish that he liked it
"His mother gave it to him steadily
and he began to Improve at once. In
less than a month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
to well and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.
"An old patient of mine, 73 years
old, came down with serious stomach
trouble and before I was called had
got so weak he could eat almost noth
ing, and was in a serious condition.
He had tried almost every kind of
food for the sick without avail.
"I immediately put him on Grape
Nuts with good, rich milk and Just a
little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed
when I came next day 'Why doctor I
never ate anything so good or that
made me feel so much stronger.'
"I am pleased to say that he got
well on Grape-Nuts, but he had toJ
stick to It for two or three weeks,?"
then he began to branch out a little
with rice or an egg or two. He got
entirely well In spite of his almost
hopeless condition. He gained 22
pounds in two months which at his
age Is remarkable.
"I could quote a list of cases where
Grape-Nuts has worked wonders."
"There's a Reason." Read "The
Road to Wellvllle," in pkgs.
