OTHERS COMING. Two other Curtiss machines are ex Great Orange Belt-eleven miles pected to race before the end of the west of San Bernardino, at Rialto BANNING, Jan. 8. Special Officer William Pablo, himself an Indian, received a message from Palm Springs giving news of further trouble between the whites and the Indians there, over water problems.

The present trouble, however does not deal with land titles, but with the sanitary feature of the settlement. Some of the white settlers are furnished with domestic water from the Indian reservation, through an open ditch for quite a distance. All went well until some one took down the week. The Gill-Dosh machine will be tried out as soon as it arrives, and can be set up. While the biplane recently purchased by Frank Johnson of Kan Francisco Is expected to arrive from the north on Monday.

A biplane designed by Key Knaben-shue and Lincoln lieachey is entered, and will make its tlrst flights during the week. Its appearance is awaited with interest, as much is expected from a district that is noted for its immunity from damaging frosts, scale and other insect pests. Rialto shipped last year eleven hundred and fifty cars fence which guards the water supply, allowing live stock belonging to the Indians, to contaminate the water. The white customers then objected. There is some feeling between the settlers and the Indians at the Springs, due to the miniature race war which of citrus fruits.

Rialto oranges, being of superior size, and free from blemish, command top pricesat local packing houses, and in the markets of the East. broke out there a few months ago. During tho last trouble the title to some of the land was in dispute, and a crisis was reached ono afternoon when officials of the Indian service commenced to tear up the irrigation the well-known creators of dirigibles. After his work with dirigibles, San-tos-Dumont perfected what Is considered one of the most perfect of all flying machines, a little 1Sx20 monoplane that weighs only 440 pounds complete, and Is the simplest construction Imaginable. It is not unlikely that the Knabenshue-Beachey machine will prove almost as much as a success.

Two Los Angeles monoplanes that have been very favorably commented upon, will be given first try-outs with proper power. Kdgar S. Smith and J. H. Klassen are the inventors of the two machines, an.l each Is confident of the ability of hU model.

Both are monoplanes. Wlllard and other expert aviators have admitted that thry could see no reason why the machines shou'd not prove successful, if equipped with proper motors. Original machines" will be exhibited by several other Lot Angeles ditches of the Rogers Development Company. When Mr. Rogers, attempted to stop the destruction he was arrested by an Indian policeman at the point of a gun.

He was released on his own recognizance at the instance in 'clean" or undisturbed air. Like other monoplanes, the Blerlot model in flight is more bird-like than any of the biplanes. FARMAX BIPLANE. The Farman biplanes are modifications of the Voisin model. In which tha box-kite principle baa beeu followed more closely than in anv otber Jlymg-machine.

In the last Farman model the distinctive vertical panels which prave the box-like appearance to the earlier machine in which Farman made his Hrst flights in this country have been removed, so that the biplane now resembles the other two-nlano machines closely. The aeroplane is alout thirty-th-ee feet from tip to tip about three feet less than the Wright models, and several feet more than the Curtiss measurement; but from front to rear the machine is muh longer than either of the others. The tail is more prominent than with any of the other biplanes, with fairly large box surfaces. Charles F. Willard.

After this trouble the case was One prominent Orange Grower in the Rialto District came here nine years ago from Scotland and ought a 20-acre grove for $11,000, for which he refused $30,000 last year with the privilege of reserving the crop, which was valued at $7000. This grower has purchased additional land his holdings now being about 100 acres, 80 acres of which is in full-bearing trees, netting him better than 17J per cent. annually.N The average increased valuation of Rialto Orange Land was about 100 per cent, during the past five years and any one who purchased during that period could now sell at a substantial taken to the highest authorities In Washington, and it was found that the Indian department was in the wrong.

Two thousand acres of as good orange land as there is in the State of California offered for quick sale at $200 an acre, with water. This land which is a portion of the original Fontana Ranch has been subdivided into 10-acre tracts, to accommodate investors who are looking for a location where conditions are ideal for profitable Orange Grove Fontana Lands re equally as well adapted to the requirements of those who desire to engage in the Citrus Fruit Industry on a large scale or who wish to put their money into land that will, in a few years, be worth several times the present price. a patent having been issued for the land in question.

Lack of proper motors of the expensive varieties necessary for flying machine work is undoubtedly the only thing that keeps GET WISE. BIG THINGS TO REMEMBER IN AVIATION CONVERSATION. A EROPLANE Any heavier-than-air of the United States, was called into the case as arbitrator, and the government finally eettled with Rogers by giving him the water of Chlno Canon, while the Indians retained their rights In Tauquitz Caiion; The row left Borne sores which are slow to heal, and all possible precautions are now taken by the officials to prevent a recurrence of trouble at the Springs.

PETERSBURG. Saturday. Dec. 25. It is officially announced the Emperor has cancelled the name of Wltte, recently given to one of the Important avenues ry the City Council, and has ordered it to be renamed "The Street of Peter the Great." This public mark of Imperial disfavor has convinced friends of Count Wltte that there is no chance of his playing an important role in public life under present conditions.

He will probably accept the post of president of the council of a new bank to be formed by the consolidation of the Russo-Clinese and Northern banks, two important financial institutions. lx flying machine having large supporting surfaces.
