An aeroplane will be exhibited at the Minnesota State Fair of Sept. 6 fo 11 if one can be secured with a reasonable certainty that it will make flights of fifteen minutes’ dur- ation each day of the fair. The Minnesota State Fair was the first fair in the west to exhibit a dirigible balloon in flight, and -it proposes to be the first to show a heawier-than- air machine in operation. Prompted by this determination to have a practical aeroplane as an extra attraction at the fiftieth annual State Fair, Secretary Cosgrove cabled to LeRoy White, one of the representative Americans. in Paris, to offer Louis Bleriot $5,000 for a week’s engagement at the Minnesota State fair. This was immediately after Bleriot had crossed the English channel in his monoplane. This cable was confirmed and explained by a letter which followed. In the event that Bleriot does not accept the offer, overtures will be made to Hubert Latham, another French aviator, who has twice unsuccesstully essayed the channel trip, but who is other- wise one of the world’s most suc- cessful aviators. Failing in securing an aviator from the other side; the manage- ment will attempt to secure Glenn Curtiss, an American aviator, who has twice won the Scientific Ameri- can trophy for successful distance and duration flights, and who has the reputation of maniputating a biplane with greater expertness than the Wright brothers, who will not exhibit except for various gov- ernments. There are other aeroplanes avail- able, but the fair management will not sign a contract for any but one that has stood the test of repeated performances. The Minnesota State Fair has already duplicated the offer of $25,000 for a race between the Bleriot and one of the Wright’s made by the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposi- tion, but there is no hope of arrang- ing sush a match at this time. Patrons of the Minnesota State Fair may rest assured, however, if there is a reliable aeroplane in the market the State Fair of Sept. 6 to 11 will have it.

Madrid, Aug. 14.—All the vessels of the Spanish navy have received orders to concentrate at Melilla, where a Spanish force of some 38,000 men un- der General Marina is threatened by a strong gathering of Moors, who re- sent Spain’s punitive expedition for the murder by the Moors of eight Spanish laborers.

MOORS KEEP UNDER COVER Spanish Artillery Not Causing Much Loss of Life. Melilla, Morocco, Aug. 14.—Friendly natives bring in reports that although the Spanish artillery fire is destroying the camps of the Moors it is not caus- ing great loss of life, as the Riffs have built a series of subterranean cham- bers and passages under their loca- tions, in which they take refuge, emerging only when the cannonading is over. The Moors made an attempt to cut the Spanish railroad. Searchlights, however, revealed thelr purpose and they were driven back. There is as yet no evidence here of the beginning of General Marina’s march into the interlor. The Spanish artillery continues to bombard Mount Guruga, the headquarters of the Moor- ish positions. Several modern guns of French construction have arrived here, but the Spanish artillerymen are having considerable difficulty in learn- ing how to manipulate them. Tt is explained that General Ma- rina’s advance has been delayed in order to permit of the complete or- ganization of the commissary depart- ment. MOORS KEEP UP STEADY FIRE Spanish Garrison at Penon de la Go- mera May Soon Be Isolated.

There is a chance; however, that the telegraph employes will succeed in repairing the Hnes. The Moors have suffered many men killed or wounded.

CONGRESS ASKED TO0 ~ ASSIST IRRIGATION Ten Million a Year for Ten Years Requested, Spokane, Wash., Aug. 14—An an- Rual appropriation of $10,000,000 for a Deriod of five years to aid in irriga- tion work is asked of congress in res- olutions adopted by the National Irri- gation congress.
