MEANS MUCH FOR AGRICULTURE
IN OLD FREMONT COUNTY

The announcement by the Beaver
Land & Water company Of its plans
to open an ONCE In this city with a
view OF aHording the public facilities
for inquiring into its irrigation enter
prises in Beaver Park will direct gen.
eral attention to what 1t purposes to
do in that locality and what Its ac-
complishment will mean for the agri-
cultural interests OF Fremont county.
1t is understood in a vague sort OF
way that the company expects to
reclaim by means of a gigantic irri-
CATION scheme a vast area OF semi
arid land, estimated at something like
900 acres. but the Significance of
such a proposition is not easily COM
pretended. The execution OF such an
enterprise would add immensely to
the productive wealth OF the county,
in fact would more than double its
agricultural possibilities. 1t would
furnish a livelihood for several thou-
sand families and would increase to
an astonishing extent the material
prosperity OF all. whether tillers OF
the soil or tradesmen. II would sup
ply homes for a happy and industrious
population amid a most agreeable en-
vironment and the generous soil would
enable them to make living with
less effort than would be the case in
almost any other section OF the coun-
try.
The enterprise OF the Beaver Land
Water company In reclaiming so
large a tract OF half arid land. dedi-
Gated by nature principally to the
growth of sage brush and cactus.
should receive the hearty cooperation
OF everybody interested In the devel-
opment OF the resources OF Fremont
county. The execution OF its aims
and ambitions will contribute TO the
general veal and no man but will feel
it's quickeninE influence. The enter
prise has passed out of the realm OF
speculation into the field of achieve
ment and almost before the public is
aware OF II the great task will be
completed and possibilities created
that will add millions to the general
wealth

YOUNG BALLOONIsT
DEPRIVED VICTORY BY ILLNESS

Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm of the
United States army, who achieved
such signal aeronautic victory in
Europe last year by making an aerial
trip from Paris to Flying Dales, a
little hamlet on the north coast of
England, distance of four hundred
and two miles, thereby winning the
James Gordon Bennett cup in the first
great international balloon race, is a
grandson of Mrs. H. s. Lahm and a
nephew of Mr.. and Mrs T. NJ. Hard
ing of this city.
From his relatives here it is learned
that Lieut.. Lahm was born at Canton,
Ohio. but spent his boyhood days with
his maternal grandparents at Mans
field in that state. He attended the
public schools at Mansfield and when
nineteen years of age was appointed
by Major Mckinley, who had a few
months before been elected to the
presidency, a cadet-at-large to the
United States Military Academy at
West Point, New York.
Lieut. Lahm's mother died when he
was two years old and four years
later his father went to Paris and
took up his residence in France on
account OF his health and has lived
there ever since, although he has made
occasional visits to this country to
renew old associations.
Lieut. Lahm graduated from the
military academy with an enviable re-
cord as a student and was assigned
to a tutorship in that institution by
the war department, a position he
held for a short time, when he was
made a member of the faculty by his
appointment to a professorship. He
continued as instructor in French at
the academy until he was sent by the
government to the post graduate
school Of military tactics, near Paris,
two or three years ago, where he has
since resided and where he Is yet
student
Although Lieut.. Lahm has been too
busy with his professional work to
indulge his inclination towards aeron-
autics to the extent he desired he has
himself in that branch
of science such as few men have done
and may be termed one of the pioneers
of long distance aerial navigation.
Major Henry B. Hersey of the wea-
ther bureau at Washington. d. c., who
had charge of the balloon United Sta
ties in the recent International contest
at ST. Louis, and who landed at point
twelve miles north of Hamilton. On
tario. acted as aid TO Lieut. Lahm when
he piloted his balloon from Paris over
the English channel a year ago. Lieut..
Lahm is sick with typhoid fever in
one OF the hospitals of Paris at the
present time, otherwise he would pro-
badly have taken part in the interna-
tional balloon races at St. Louis last
week
Lieut. Lahm is regarded as one OF
the most promising Officers in the
United States army and his friends
are watching his career with the ut
most interest. His father has been
an enthusiast upon the subject of
aeronautics for many years and has
made many balloon ascensions in the
vicinity Of Paris. The elder Lahm Is
the dean of the Aereo Club of France
and is intensely interested in every
thing pertaining to the navigation OF
the air.
