Makes New Record.
Glenn H. Curtiss, the aviator, has
made a new record in flying in the air.
He made a 50-mile flight in an aeroplane
Monday afternoon, by covering a half
hundred measured miles in five-mile laps
along the beach at Atlantic City, in one
hour and thirty minutes. He was in the
air one hour and thirty minutes.
Clark Wood's smile yesterday was
forty bushels to the acre and tested six-
ty-four strong. He weighs over two-
hundred pounds but yesterday he felt
more like a ton. All this was caused by
the appearance of a boy at his home,
applying for board and keep indefinitely.
Mother and babe are doing well and Dr.
Hardy is doing his best to pull Clark
through.

making Medford for the Fourth. We
started out Sunday morning early and
arrived at Lamont before breakfast, at

with the wife's relation Mr. Frank
Webster and family, H. H. Martin and
family and others. The crop conditions
all the way down were about, like around
Caldwell, if anything a little better,
