Ba1loonine Is Safer than Football

IF we compare ballooning with that much-discussed
game foot ball, we shall find that of the two air
many who have gone through five or six seasons
of active football playing without sustaining some
injury, broken collar bones, broken ribs, broken
noses broken arms, sprans, bruises, and SO But
know of aeronauts who have made ascensions many
times each season during ten twelve fifteen years
and who have sustained the slightest injury
in all that time.
In a word, feel safe in saying that, so far from
being a dangerous sport ballooning, when
Quoted properly is of the safest of all sports.
But, while eminently safe sport, sailing in the
air IS perhaps, the most adventurous of any pasme
which could be mentioned The conditions are SO
variable, unique, largely unforseeable, that in
every ascension, some adventure, though
slight is to be expected. Perhaps it is only that
the balloon for some minutes, maybe hours, passes
through an Opaque dry fog Perhaps it is the
wonderful view that one sometimes meets, of a vast
floor of clouds underneath him, rolling and tossing
like some grotesque foamy Perhaps it is the
SUM- which the aeronaut can sometimes see at the

TRAVELING in space carries with it pc
culiar fascination. OF all the fields OF
human activity there is, perhaps, not one
- to which there is attached so much charm
in which the adventures are more va
red and thrilling.
l do not mean to imply that travelling in the air
is dangerous sport As matter of fact 1T IS any
thing but dangerous. l know men who have made,
one of them six hundred another almost nine hun
dred and yet another fifteen hundred, ascensions
and all these yet live to tell the tale.
Statistics show that, in proportion to the number
engaged in the two sports there more persons

Car Shortage and Lack of
Traokage the Reasons.

Spokane, Wash, Dec. lO.-Car
shortage and traffic congestion will
be one Of the serious handioaps of the
railroads as long as the present pros
perity and great development contin-
ne, says Henry Blakeley, general
western freight agent of the Northern
Pacific, Mr., Balkley arrived In
Spokane yesterday afternoon with
Charles Nj. Levey, third vice presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific from
Tacoma.
If the railroads had all the car
equipment aud all the engines they
need, they still could not handle all
the available business, for the reason
that no single track railroad could
carry il, and there are not terminals
with sufficient opacity to take care of
the amount Of traffic that would re-
suit, !" said MIR, Blakeley. Before
all the business available can be-
handled without congestion each OF
tho tranoontinental lines will have to
have double tracks, and thousands OF
miles of sidinRs and terminals will
have to DO built.
, "CaI factories are running over.
time and are behind six months In
their orders. Twenty .tlvs per cent
OF the material that IL hauled back
20 the east now goes into new cars.
We have ordered ss new engines and
other equipment In proportion. But
the great problem Is In getting the
tracks on which to operate all this
equipment, II takes time to build
tEackage. And the volume of bust
ness increases faster than II Is posi-
bio for the railroads to build equip,
ment and lay tracks"
