In the manufacture of the vast amount of lumber shipped from this state thousands of men are given employment, The lumber traffic over the St. Louis Southwestern and other roads in the state shows a heavy increase during the past 12 months Not only has there been an increase in the nnmber of men employed by mil operators, but by the railroads as well in order to handle their increased busi- ness

AERIAL NAVIGATION.
Thomas A. Edison, Jr, Believes He
 Has Solved the Problem.
HE IS HARD AT WORK UPON AN AIR SHIP.
Inflated Sails Used in Lieu of Other Pro. pulsion Power A Trial Already Made Has Proved Sue
 cessful.

NEW YORK, Feb. l.-Young Thomas \ Edison Jr.. is experimenting with m airship which he believes will be successful The ship is the invention of Frank sauther. of Milwaukee. but Edison hit by accident upon gas which he believes is The only thing required to make the ship a practical thing. Sails were substituted instead of any propeilng power. Ar. Ellison says;
 sIJ was at tais point that l conceived the really new principle. l. struck me that it would be good idea to infiate the sails with ga. thus making them serve as balloons. as we'll as supplying lhe sailing power. IL would not do to make bagEy balloons of the sails, so they were divided into numerous com partments, which, when inflated, re- sembled thin water bags. The gas tube running 10 the balloon was tap ped in three places to supply gus to tHe main sail and rubber tubes carried gas ta the two jjbs. The com paftments of the main sail were con neeted by narrow openings, the gas Thus flowing freely through the entire sai.
 .'A ruddef completed the airship. Alter many failures we were success fuG The ship actually flew, and we succeeded ln steering it. l believe that the inflated sail idea is the one that IS going to solve the aerial navigation problem.
