New York, Oct. I'm. Santos Du-
mont, having completed the repairs to
his balloon, the Santos Dumont vi. In
spite of unfavorable predictions based
on sudden rise OF the barometer, de-
cided to start against the wind and
maneuver around Long Champs race
course, says the Paris correspondent OF
the Herald. When the signal to start
was given the Santos Dumont VI shot
off like an arrow, and, in spite of a
contrary wind, reached Long Champs
at speed impossible to estimate in the
actual state of aeronautic science, but
certainly as fast as rapid automobile
travels. The speed cannot be estimated
at less than sixty kilometers an hour.
for more than an hour the balloon man
euvered in all directions above the race
course with perfect docility in the pres
cnce Of numerous spectators. An enor-
nous crowd had assembled outside the
enclosure waiting for the aeronaut to
venture out The balloon reached the
rendezvous in the twinkling Of an eye,
while the friends Of the aeronaut fol-
lowed 1t will all speed. When tea was
over NJ. antos-Dumont returned in his
aerial carriage to Long Champs, and.
crossing the Seine at a height of about
200 metres. slightly overshot the pare
e'Aerostation. With a sudden turn he
came back to his goal and, passing with
considerable speed over the telegraph
wire which runs along the western side
of the park, stopped few minutes be-
tween the two sheds. The difficulty OF
doing this is extreme. It requires as
tonishing skill to descend in so narrow
q space. AT one instant it was feared
he was lost. for he passed within two
meters of NJ. Deutsch's balloon house.
which blocks the entrance to the house
on the south side, but he escaped danger
by bold maneuver that brought him
exactly in front of his own construction,
which he entered without waiting for
the arrival of the workmen. who were
coming up in an automobile carriage
at express speed.

Giving passes to politicians is brib-
cry, and we all know II, replied anoth-
er executive officer. IF you want t.

| In illustration OF this the following
was related: "A man who paid us about
s., 900 a year for freight shipments and
never got pass one day noticed that
the mayor of his town. who is also q
saloonkeeper and never gave US q pound

he has kept his word. Altho his manu-

val line, over half a mile away. Giving
a pass to mayor of a little town in
that instance cost us over $4,000 a year.
1t would be better policy to give pass
occasionally to a person who gives US
lots of business and stop giving 'annu-

aldermen up to members OF the United
States senate"
When a vote was taken on the ques-
ton of adopting the recommendation OF
the committee nearly all the big roads
voted in the affirmative and all the
smaller roads voted against it. The ma
jority against abolishing passes was de-
cisive, altho quite a number of railroads
which were not represented at the
meeting doubtless would have swelled
the majority. All the roads controlled
by the interests which want to abolish
passes were represented at the meeting.
On the motion of one of them the meet

to discuss recommendations which may
be made to limit the Issuance of passes
to those held to be entitled to them.

not longer delay ordering the printing OF

AVS SOMETHING ABOUT THE fJORDS.

Aaron Torrison who returned home
after five months sojourn IN Enrope
recounts some interesting experiences
of his trip. His continental travels
were extensive, embracing that portion
of Europe laying north of Paris. He
landed upon European soil at Southamp-
ton, England and proceeded directly 10
London. This ancient metropolis ne

was struck with its magnitude but not
its beauty.
"Of all the sights my eyes beheld the
Land of the Midnight Sun was the
most charming Norway is wonder
ful country for natural scenery and one
can only realize it's uniqueness, its ma
iesty and its poetry by a personal
visit. The fiords, the Gualntest
streams of water in the world are
worth trip to Norway just to see
them. It is fascinating to sail up the
narrow stream of water with towering
palisades on either side rising to a mag
nifcent height The stream is SO mar
row. yet so deep Only one ship can
sail along at a time. The water Is a
deep green and l have never seen the
like of il before. One peculiarly OF the
fiords is their crooked passage. LOOK
ing from distance forward 1t Is I'M
possible to tell the course of the stream;
the high palisade in front seems TO be
the end of the journey but as you near
the turning the deception fades and as
the boat makes its natural turn the eye
is again charmed by similar expert
ence. This feature of the trip was so
enchanting that sat up all night specu-
lating on the course the ship would take
but was baffled every time.
Mr.. Torrison says in this part OF the
world there's no night As they APP
preached villages and larger communi-
ties he saw the women and children
moving about at o'clock in the morn
ing and right on through the early
dawn, just the same as if IL was 10
o'clock in the morning At midnight
there it is as light as it is in Manitowoc

IMPROVEMENTS MADE
AT THE COUNTY
INSANE ASYLUM

Considerable improvements have been
made to the Insane Asylum within the
past few months. The trustees author.
lied the instalment of new boiler
which is used for heating the buildings.
1t has just been put into position, hav-
ing capacity of 100 horse power The
new heating apparatus will be amply
sufficient for all the buildings and the
patients will not suffer during the wint-
er from any lack of warmth.
The work of enlarging the boiler
house is completed and this adds very
much to the convenience and appearance
of the Asylum.
The trustees are entirely satisfied with
the work which has been done.
