The Editor $
Opinion ofthe
Airship and
Its Future

There is no question Of doubt but
what that genius. Thos. S. Baldwin, has
produced the most perfect Airship the
world has ever seen. Other men before
his time, Prof. Langley, bebaudy, VIII
lard, Spencer, Bickford, DuMont,
Wright and DR.. Greth have left an im-
preston on the subject, each in his own
way, but It has remained for Mr.. Bald
win to at last accomplish a definite
something, and he is giving the world
the benefit of his brains and genius In
his Airship of today. Without a doubt
he has solved the problem of aerial
navigation and the final conquest Of
the air is now an established fact. In
his New York factory they are today
working on modern Alrships which
will within n few months be common
sights i'm the east. Mr.. Baldwin has
gathered about him many other
geniuses. such as Roy Knabenshue, and
these men are under contract with his
company and they are going ahead
along definite lines, doing great work
in establishing the Airship business as
practical and positive industry. No
doubt there will he a certain percentage
of deaths due to Airships carrying pas
sengers but 1t is quite likely that the
death rate will be a great per cent
lower than that of the railway trains.
When the time comes for the Airship
industry to be practical, which is now
but a matter of a few months, then
business men will sit down and calcu-
late the number of pounds that a 200
horse power gasoline engine Will move
through the air, the number of gallons
of gasoline used per hundred miles, the
wages of an aeroferre covering a days
journey, say of 1000 miles He will OBJ
tain figures something like these:
Wages for ten hours ........... $500
Gasoline consumed in ten hours
flfty gallons ..........,...... o'Uu
Interest on machine (cost not to
exceed $2ooo.oo), wear and
tear, machine oil, waste, ETC.. 100
Total cost of trip for 10 hours $1,000
Distance covered, 1000 miles; time to
Chicago, 10 hours; net weight carried,
5000 pounds of merchandise, or 33 pas
sengers; fare from New York to Chi
cago, per passenger, $1.00.
For SO passengers carried on
trip $3.50. ................... .Soo.ou
Total cost of operating machine,
New York to Chicago. ........ 1000
Net profits per day ......... .$23.o0
AS these profits would more than
pay for machine every hundred days.
it is possible that one dollar from New
York to Chicago may be found to be an
excessive fare, when it comes to fixing
the charges by aerial route. There is
more money to be made in the Airship
business than has been made in any of
the industrial enterprises in the world
before, and without doubt Mr. Bald
wins company, which he is financing in
New York and Los Angeles, will make
for his clients millions OF dollars, and it
is sure to make every stockholder
wealthy. We have pleasure in calling
your attention to his advertising, which
appears in this issue, and which out
lines at greater length some of the
things they have in mind for the fu-
ture of the company

Los Angeles must be the garden spot
Of the earth.
This is tre decision of Mrs. Will
oughby Rodman and committee Of
enthusiastic members of the Civic
Federation, who met in the chamber
of commerce yesterday to complete
plans for garden contest.
It is the object of these women of
the outdoor art commission to make
every little corner of the city that is
now a rubbish heap or plot of dried
weeds blossom with the fairest flow
ers that nature can provide and to
make every tmubled down board
fence a wall of green vines.
with this in view they have started
to work with a list of inducements
that will be irresistible.
1t has never before been quite so
easy to have garden as now, for
everything in the way of plants and
seeds will be furnished to those who
will take care of them. The districts
for which the prizes are offered include
the Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and part
of the Ninth and Second wards. These
sections of the city have been divided
into four parts with centers in each
one where plants and seeds can be
had for the asking. On Friday the
work of distribution will begin from
the Bethlehem mission the college set
tlement, the church of the neghbor-
hood and the Utah street school. At
tendants will be at these places every
Friday afternoon in May to receive
plants and seeds from those who care
to contribute and to distribute them to
those who wish to enter the contest.
Cleanliness, order artistic arrange
ment of shrubs, vines, flowers and
trees will be considered in awarding
the prizes for flower gardens, while IN
vegetable gardens neatness and pro-
ductivity will be taken into account.
During May the plants will be given
out during the summer months the
gardens can be cultivated, and on
September Is the prizes will be
awarded.
Many plants have already been re-
ceived and many more are expected
The park commission will be asked 10
contribute from the city parks and the
too productive gardens will be robbed
to supply the barren parts of the city.
The committee in charge of the work
includes Mrs. H. C. Terrill, Mrs. An
drew Glassell, Mrs j. H. F. Peck. Miss
Beatrice Fox, Miss Bessie Stoddart,
Mrs. j. E. Wilson. Miss Sophie Vernon,
Mrs. j. A. Wright, Mrs E. Coffin and

Next comes Texas with 312 miles, and

in which there was no railroad construc-
ton last year: Nebraska, Delaware,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu-

Nevadas prominence in mileage of new
railroads is due to the extension, across
the desert, of Senator Clarlzs San Pc
dro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake line, which
has already been sold to the Union Pa
cific interests.
In Il Of the past 10 years, more miles
of new railroad were constructed than
in 1904, but the average has been about
$500 miles. Indications are that con-
siderably more railway lines will be
built in 1905 than were built in 1904 The
total railway mileage, for the country at
large, is now 2f2000 miles.

NAMES or EXPRESS TRAINS
Attractive Titles Purchased by
Prizes Given by Railroad
Company.

Some time ago railroad company CT
fered a substantial prize for the most at
tractiEe title for its fastest tram. ana
though none of those submitted was ac-
cepted the igenuity of the competitors
was not undeserving Of praise. among
those sent in were such titles as zine rs
publican Limited, The Narrow Path
Express. The Liberty Express, .'Ihe
Yankee High-e.iar. and many others
more CT less good.
Although the novel competition prac-
tically failed in its purpose, it eaIiea A.
tention to the picturesque ana ingenious
names which designate many OF the llil=
portant high-fiiers which run daily over
American rails. There is no better known
express in the world than "Ihe IWehll-
eth Century Limited. 2 which makes the
run between New York and Chaeago II
20 hours. The title in this instance IS a
particularly happy one, Tor lt not only
symbolizes the century in which we i've,
but also the actual time occupied IN the
run
The Green Mountain Filler, is the Ia
NOUS Montreal express for New YORK,
and received its name from the beautiful
green hills through which it runs on It's
daily journeys An equally picturesque
title is that CT The Sunset Limited, a
Southern Pacific express which aashes
daily toward that Ell Dorado Of horticul-
tprists-California
Minneapolis and St. Paul are known as
the Twin Cities, ana SO it is only natural
that the train which runs from there to
st. Louis should be called The Twin City
Limited. The exposition at st. Louis, by
the way, has been the means OF giving
titles to many new trains, among these
being The Exposition Limited, over
the Grand Central.
One Of the most magnificent trains IN
the world is The High Grass Limited,
which runs from St. Paul to the Pacific
coast, so-called because in its journey Il
passes over much desolate prairie. THIS
train is one Of the longest for passenger
express service in the country, consist
ing as it does of IS cars, each averaging
50 feet in length.
