to the ground and same near capsizing.
He slackened sail and set out again
with the large sheet reefed and the
smaller full against the wind, and away
it whizzed. 1t SO fast that the
boxing in the wheels heated. Then,
when it went over a little knoll it leap
ed about thirty feet into the air and
came down with a crash.
His vessel was a wreck, but Mr..
Peppard was not discouraged. He made
rev spindles. repaired the damage and
in a few days he and three compan-
ions were ready to start. Profiting by
his first experience, Mr.. Peppard chose
a day to start when the wind was blow
ing only about ten knots an hour. The
first day they went fifty miles. Their
route lay northeast, through Kansas
and Nebraska until they struck the
South Plate river, and from there they
went toward Denver.
Our best time was two miles in four
minutes" said Mr.. Peppard in describing
the incidents of the journey. I'VE could
lot run faster than that rate as the
boxing would have heated. One day
we went fifty miles in three hours and
in doing so passed 625 teams"

RAIN SCOOP.

Palmer has beaten the record; Mel
bourne ant in it. In the month of
April, Just past, Mr.. Palmer gave
Cheyenne a wetting of eight inches,
and never wrinkled his brow. AS a
rain promoter, he is a drenching sue
cess. No other weather man ever pro-
duced in Cheyenne over six inches of
moisture, and this was long ago and
was regarded as a scratch-a mere hap
pen SC. Palmer say with more expert
ence and increased facilities, he be-
lieyes that he can beat this record
whenever 1t is desirable t do so. but
he positively refuses to divulge his
methods. 1t must not be inferred that
he has any theory on this subject. On
the contrary he is skeptical on all
theories. He says the only way to in
crease the fall of rain is to have it fall
oftener and in larger doses. We guess
he is right.-Sun-Leader.

THE PURCHASE FAIR.

In 1903 America will have another
great fair, in commemoration of he
Louisiana purchase. st. Louis prom
ises to do herself proud and there is
little question but that the fair of 1908
will be equal to any the world has ever
seen. A recent issue of the Washing
ton Post commented editorially as fol-
lows:
ut seems to us that st. Louis is en-
titled to prompt and respectful 'consid-
Grafton in this matter of the proposed
celebration of the Louisiana purchase.
A dozen reasons, each one of them i'm
perative and unanswerable, might be
put forward in support of this hy-
pothesis. In the first place, St. Louis
is the practical center and the actual
metropolis of the vast territory added
to the United States through the nego-
tiations initiated by Thomas jefferson.
Again. the event to be celebrated is,
next to the success of the revolution of
1776, the most important in our ma
tiohui hioloi h"iis NhS pNopi' VI
St. Louis have made a proposition so
fair, so liberal and so business-like that
it commends itself to approval at the
first glance.
"They ask an appropriation of So
900, 900 from congress to aid in the
proper execution of their plans-plans
which include the whole of the
try-but they ask this under conditions
which must appeal to the goodwill of
all thoughtful and patriotic men. They
agree. to begin with, to raise a fund of
$40, 000, 900, which the state of Missouri
will increase to $11 ,OO0, 900, and the
compact is that not a cent of the So
O00, 900 asked for at the hands of con-
gress shall be made available for the
purposes of the celebration until the
entire s11, 900 900 shall have been paid
in and actually expended for the pur-
poses already mentioned.
1T is difficult to see where and how
the government can be victimized I'M
der the terms of such an arrangement.
st. Louis is evidently prepared to meet
the largest demands upon her public
spirit and her means, and it is plain
that the appropriation asked for is in
tended and will be used only to save
the enterprise from disaster at the last
moment. In any event, here is a frank,
courageous and liberal proposition from
st. Louis, which at least deserves i'm
mediate consideration and decisive ac-
ton by congress.
I'VE recall, in the history of national
anniversaries, celebrations, centennials,
etc, which have been aided by the gov
eminent, none of greater significance
and merit-none in which good faith
has been more securely guaranteed and
the public treasury surrounded by bet-
ter safeguards. Certainly congress can
afford to answer promptly"
