MOUNTAIN HEIGHTS

The Record Herald Of Chicago says
that Henry Gannett, geographer of the
geological survey. has been revising
| the dictionary of attitudes Of the
United States and new edition will
soon be published. Some Of the
changes are as follows, especially of
the Western mountains and the Ala
ska peaks
Rainier is changed from 14,444 to
1887. Mount Whitney is 14,449, but
it Is not the highest peak in the Unit
ed States proper, giving way to Mount
Dickerman in Washington. which IL
1876 feet. Old Shasta is 1880 feet
high, exceeding Rainier by II feet.
This it is thought will break the heart
out of Tacoma and Seattle. Oregon
mountains are marked down. She has
no peak 10000 feet high. Mt Hood,
which was formerly given at 1882
feet, is by the new measurement, H.
225 feet.
prospector named Dickey, who
found Mt. Mckinley in Alaska some
years ago, declared it was 10000 feet
high, and was enthusiastic in the de-
scription of it's grandeur The geologi-
cal sent Robert Mudow up to measure
it. He vindicated the guess of the
prospector, making the sovereign
height Of 20, asa feet, the highest noun
tain in the United States yet dis
covered. though DR.. Gannett is In
clined to believe that higher points
may yet be found in Alaska.

santos-Dumont's Motor NAeroplane.

Santos-Dunsont. who has brought the
dirigible balloon to a high state of perfec-
ton, has apparently realized at last that
the problem of human flight Will not be
solved by this means, but that the true So
luton lies In the aeroplane. It has been OBJ
vious from the beginning that the gas bag
could not be relied upon to do more than
serve as a lotation element for propelling
and steering device under exceptionally IA
vorable conditions. and that it could not be
safely employed in high winds, and would
in any case be no substitute for the present
forms OF surface transportation. Thus 1t
could not advance beyond the stage Of being
a novelty, a toy.
Now, this clever Brazilian has come
around to experimenting with the aeroplane,
and his work In this field will be watched
with keen interest. 1t is possible that he
may succeed where Maxim and Langley
failed. He il working on somewhat differ
ent lines from those followed by Langley,
who carried his machine out over the water,
and thus gave 1t no chance to get fair
start. Santos-Dumont has had constructed
an aeroplane automobile. propelled by
two-bladed wheel, yard In diameter. be-

porous The estimates for the yield OF wheat
and corn. in bushels, this year are: Winter
wheat 493 434 600; spring wheat, 27S,SS0,-
600; corn, 2, z03. 49,, 900. The yiela in these
crops in 1905 was as follows, in bushels:
Winter wheat, 42S age. s34; spring wheat,
264 SOC 6o5; corn, 2TO7, 993, $40 Thus there
will be a little less corn, but considerably
more wheat, aggregating in both crops very
nearly 80, 100000 bushels.
The farmers of the west are In a bet
ter position than ever before to reap the
advantage of bountifui crops. for they are
in an unprecedented degree free from mort
cages, and are therefore not In urgent need
Of cash, while in many of the richest grain
growing districts Of the country they have
facilities for holding their products in case
they do not find the market rates satisfac-
tory at the time Of harvesting. They are
no longer at the mercy Of the buyers, who
contract for their crops while standing. or
Immediately after cutting and threshing,
giving less on a cash basis than the farmer
would obtain IL he could afford to wait a
few weeks or months.
Thus with the farmer no longer pressed
for cash to meet his interest, and with a
shrewder sense Of his values. these bumper
crops are not likely to cause choked mar
ket. with the consequence OF low prices.
Big crops will not necessarily mean diff
cult or sacrificing sales. but will more prob
ably mean a golden stream of funds flow
ing into the great western region, to be
distributed from there to all centers of
trade and industry.

lieving that he can to the best advantage
utilize the earth as the starting platform,
and thus give his machine the maximum
opportunity to rise-from the ground.
In his initial field experiments in Paris he
has used a twenty-four-horse motor, which
did not prove powerful enough to produce
more than a series Of gigantic hops along
the ground. But it served to demonstrate
that it Is possible to exert enough propul-
sive pressure upon the air to lift heavy
motor from the ground. and that 1t may be
that further work in this field will develop
the ideal combination OF power and light
ness. in short. the aeroplane motor car.
which, getting a running start upon the
ground, will rise sufficiently to utilize the
sustaining power Of the air and at the same
time develop propulsive pressure to Inn
part high speed. Santos-Dumont Is now
working on fffty-horse motor, which he
believes will serve his purpose. OF course.
there will still remain for solution
the problem of alighting. Langiey's
aeroplane fell In the water and the
operator was not injured. Santos
Dumont will have to fall upon the ground.
and he may not be so fortunate. But IL the
aeroplane performs its function properly 1t
ought, after fight, to serve to bring the
apparatus as gently to the earth as 1t car

Good Times.

There is ne doubling or discounting
American prosperity in this year of grace,
1906. We are raising bigger crops than
ever. we are selling more goods than ever
and We are. buying more than ever. In
other words, We have the means for making
money, and we are spending it. That is
the surest test of prosperity.
The official figures amply bear out this
statement OF the case. The Department Of
Commerce announces that in July, 1905.
this country bought from foreign countries
goods worth $102 $50, 797. while in July
year ago 1t bought only $s4. 964 els worth.
Meanwhile 1t was selling to foreigners In
July, 1906, goods to the value of Sill ,551,-
AIS. as against s107. $50, 421 year ago. The
balance of trade in our favor In July of this
year was Ss,964, 61S. while in July a year
ago 1t was considerably larger-s23, All SIS.
This difference Is undoubtedly to be at
tributed to the unusual abundance of money
within the country, seeking expenditure in
foreign countries, owing probably in some
instances to the fact that the American mills
are congested with orders. At all events
even though the balance for July, 1905, Is
much smaller than. a year ago, the export
total Is larger, showing that there Is no
falling of in the sales of American products

The Futility Of Assassination.

1t requires no especial acumen to ap-
preciate the futility of q campaign OF
terrorism such as the Russian reds have
inaugurated and are conducting with
shocking success in point of the Staying
of high officials. The prime object of a
propaganda of crime is, of course, to
frighten the government into granting
concessions. Nothing could be more pre-
posterous, and the very conception Of the
series Of assassinations suggests total
failure of the Russian radicals to meas
ure their own opportunities and dangers
They are hopeless.
If the government at st. Petersburg
weakened in the least degree in the face
of these repeated crimes 1t would be de-
liberately inviting the reds to continue
their dastardly work. 1t would put a
premium upon crime. However cruel 1t
may be in its reactionism, the cars
government would be guilty of even a
more serious offense against civilizati On
If 1t thus condoned and encouraged muir
der by yielding to the demands of those
who are promoting the propaganda
There is, of course, decided element
of personal revenge in the work Of the
reds. In almost every instance of as
sassination the victim has been guilty OF
some act or course of acts % extreme
brutality or tyranny. But this is merely
coincidence. The attempt upon the life
of Premier Stolypin last Saturday was
in no wise a stroke of vengeance. 1t was
to be classed distinctly with the crimes
of revolution. 1t has even been likened
In the comments at the Russian capital
with an act of warfare, in condonemene
of the slaughter of innocent people and
the wounding of women and children.
But warfare conducted upon such plane
is not only monstrous, but futile.
Nothing can possibly come of this
course of crime. For every official re :
moved by this method another will be put
forward. 1t Is inconceivable that the
reds could carry their work SO far as to
frighten out of the service of the czar
all his capable officials and officers. What
ever their faults, the Russian upper
classes, from whom are drawn the civil
md military administrators, are not
craVenS.

Provincial New York.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
A large delegation Of Nebraskans have
Just reached New York, where It seems to
be their purpose to participate in a greet
ing planned for fellow citizen. Doubtless
they will learn much In the metropolis, but
open they may learn something from their
visitors. These men are direct from the
wild west. They are supposed by the resi-
dent of Gotham to be provincial. They
have grown up far from the blare and cla-
NOR and self-confdence that hedge the New
Yorker about or are part of him. They are
not familiar with an East Side. OF yellow
journalism they know only that which they
may have read in respectable papers. They
do not think their own bailiwick the only
place on earth. In many ways the New
Yorker will find them different" He will
think this to their disadvantage.
AS beginning. the local press has ex-
pressed surprise that the delegation did not
come swathed in whiskers. It was expected
that as the party crossed the ferry the pop
ulistic boards would trail far abaft. Inspec:
ton revealed the fact that the visitors used
their footgear was shiny and their linen
speckless. There was in their aspect and
conduct not the slightest encouragement to
the gold brick operator. They were abso-
luteIy hayseedless. They looked after their
baggage In a businesslike fashion, and had
secured rooms in advance. and for which
they are competent to pay.
All this would be accepted as matter
Of course by anybody having any knowledge
of the west, and there would have been an
assurance in advance that when the Me-
braskans appeared they would not be wear
ing chaps" and clinking spurs. But to the
genuine New Yorker. who regards Buffalo
as "out west" they constituted whole
some and instructive object lesson.

Putting Satan Behind Him.

Mr. Rryan is watching all the corners.
Nothing with politics or possible politics,
in it escapes him. He wants votes as never
before. and is playing for them now very
dndustriously Note the latest evidence OF
his vigilance.
President Mellen of the New York and
New Haven railroad offered his private car
for Mr.. Bryans use on the occasion OF the
latter's trip from the metropolis to the
Connecticut capital. 1t was courtesy 10
be expected. The private cars of prom
inent railroad officials are handsomely APP
pointed, and the occupants enjoy not only
privacy but many conveniences. What Mr..
Mellen probably had in mind in issuing his
invitation was to enable Mr.. Bryan to sur
round himself on his short journey with
few friends and advisers, and, II he cared
continue his conferences en- route as to the
general political situation. 1t was intended
as his contribution to the Bryan home
coming which some of the promoters have
been trying to make non-partisan and pa
trotic.
Mr.. Bryan, though busy with so many
other things, declines. He doubts the wis
dom of accepting a favor from such
source at tfas time. His fear is, as may be
SEEN that 1t would be misunderstood. Rid
ing in a private car as the guest of a rail-
road president might not strike the popular
fancy. Some people might charge that 1t
did not consist with his attitude on the
general railroad question. So Mr.. Bryan
cuts it out, and will travel to New Haven
in a regular coach on ticket purchased
with his own hard-earned money.
Still Mr.. Mellen's offer was properly made.
He might have been criticised had he neg
lected to make it. People might then have
called attention to the failure to recognize
the presence of so eminent man, returned
! from foreign tour during which every
attention had been paid him, and now the
recipient of great greetings on the part of
his own countrymen. They would have
pictured Mr. Bryan sweating In crowded
coach like a day laborer in overalls going
: to work. when but for his warfare on the
railroads he would have been comfortably,
and even sumptuously, provided for.
Mr.. Mellen has scored. in that he has OBJ
served the amenities. Mr.. Bryan may score,
in that he has declined to be the guest Of a
railroad corporation at a time when the
railroads are under fire. An alert man and
candidate, not often caught or guard.

Su1zer.

Mr.. Sulzer declines the use OF his name In
the New York gubernatorial racket. The
public loses by the decision. He is SO inter-
esting a man, and. when he fights, fights
SO aggressiyely, that he would have added
materially even to the present excitement Of
the situation. His has been a strange fate
In politics. 1t begins to look as II his party
would not advance him beyond his present
post He has never been its candidate for
Speaker Of the House. He has never been
a member of the ways and means commit
tea place to which he has for years
aspired. He has never been even mentioned
for United States senator. But he continues
to fight valiantly in the ranks. to smite the
republicans hip and thigh, and to look as
much or as little, like Henry Clay as ever.
