CONCORD, n. H., Nov. 27.-An i'm.
mense balloon, the All America, carry
ing seven persons, made successful
trip from Pittsfeld, Mass. landing
safely at Canterbury, n. H., near this
city, one of the longest journeys ever
accomplished in New England.
Piloted by Leo Stevens Of New York,
the balloon started at II a. IN. Mr..
Stevens hoped to pilot the big bag due
east toward Boston. but as has been
the case in a majority Of the fifteen
ascensions which have been made from
Pittsfield the winds blew from the
southwest.
Though he drove the balloon to an
altitude Of two miles. Mr.. Stevens
said that he was unable to get into
any current which would take him to
the eastward. He then dropped to
within two or three Thousand feet OF
the earth and with the light winds
drlfted slowly over the Berkshire hills,
across the mountains of southern Yer.
mont. up the Connecticut river valley
for a way and then across the south
central portion of New Hampshire, eff
fecting a successful landing in a field
at Canterbury.
Mr.. Stevens said that they had en-.
countered snow throughout the voy-
age. but that the fall did not affect
the trip except as it hid the view Of
the country below.
The distance covered from Pittsfield
| TO Canterbury as the crow flies is about
| 125 miles. though shifts of the wind
made the voyage considerably longer
than this straight line distance. De-
| spite the snowstorm and the diversion
| In its course, the aerial car made the
| journey in quicker time than II could
have been made by ordinary railway
connections.
| Not the least interesting feature OF
the voyage was that n majority OF
those who were in the car had their
first experience above the clouds. and
their stories upon landing safely were
full OF enthusiasm for the sport. Mr.,
Stevens guests were ]. d. Larkin, Jr.,

PUBLIC BUSINESS NEGLECTED.
No Private Enterprises Could Have

1t is stern but not pleasant duty

OF the municipal ownership advocates
that the public does its own business
as well as or better than the individual
does his.
Take three enterprises of present
moment. No private individual or
corporation constrained by a profit

the taxing power would make such
crazy and corrupt contracts for a
building as those which investigation
shows the state of Pennsylvania made
for the Harrisburg capitol. No private
enterprise would have so little to show

has in the Manhattan bridge. No in

GAS PLANT OPERATION.
lueien H. Tying Compares Public and
Ivrivate Ownership.

Lucien II. Tying contributed to the
August issue of Moodys Magazine
strong article on Private versus Pub
lie Operation of Gas Companies" from
which we take the following:
Making money out of a gas plant is
not like picking gold eagles out of the
street. and a franchise to run the gas
business In community is no gold
mine. 1t may be developed into
source of great profit, but only in con-
junction with capital and business abil-
ity, especially the latter. which If not
employed In the particular gas bust
ness in question might be securing
greater returns in some other field
"There is no more logic In the belief
that the surplus earnings OF success
full gas company over certain per-
centage on the inve~tment should go
to the municipality than that whole
sale grocer should refund to his Gus
toner all profits over 6 per cent. say,
on the capitalization of his company.
The success Of the gas company comes
from the use Of proper judgment, en-
ergy and business methods In the use
and risk of capital invested, just as In
any other business.
THAT often the gas business is ap-
parently natural monopoly In given
community does not disprove the fore.
| going reasoning. The gas companies
| that are making the most money today
are not those that are taking advan.
tage of their franchise rights to exac,
high rates. They are the ones who by
their own effort in educating the peo
| pie are so increasing the per capita
consumption Of gas rs to make lower
rate business possibility and by theil
intelligent attention to operating cost
and investment Of large amounts OF
new capital when needed are able L
reduce the cost of making gas sufh
ciently to secure greater total prof
out of selling large amount Of gas a
low rate than was before received
when rates were higher and bushes.
less.
But It Is only by the most aggres
sive and i>elligent business method,
that gas company can hope to sue
coed under such conditions. The abil
ity to handle the business In this wa,
is something that municipality can
not buy at salary. The opportunitie
In other lines of business are too grea
to those with the capacity that enable
them to develop the highest earning
power out Of gas company at loy
margin Of profit for the product"

There Was a Reason,

Some OF the forms Of graft practiced
in certain Indiana cities which have
gone into the municipal ownership
business may be peculiar to those
towns. In one Of them. which owns
and runs its waterworks system, as
Rochester does, the city waterworks
were insured for $4,000. A cement
water tank carried $4,000 insurance,

FLORIDA MINES FURNISH 81 PER CENT. OF
THE PHOSPHATE OF THE UNITED STATES,
AND QUALITY AND PRICE BOTH HIGHEST

Washington, Sept. According to
a report just issued by the department
of the interior, geological division,
Florida produced during the year 1906
over 81 per cent. of the phosphate
output value of the country and con-
siderable over half the actual long
tons. According to these figures the
Florida product is of much higher
value, average ton for ton, than that
found in any other section of the
country. The report follows:
Phosphate rock, the use OF which is
limited to the manufacture of mineral
fertilizers and chemicals, containing
phosphoric acid, is found in many
parts of the United States, but the
deposits that furnish the principal
commercial output of the material
are those of Florida, Tennessee and
South Carolina.

including Arkansas and Idaho, pro-
duced 500 tons, valued at $28, SEQ.
The statistics of production collect
ed by the United States Geological
Survey in recent years indicate that
the demand fer the material has made
more rapid strides than the output,
and the tendency Of the price per ton
has been upward. Under these con
dftions of growing demand and high
er prices it is therefore not improb-
able that many low grade deposits,
which 1t has hitherto been imprac-
ucable to utilize, may be profitabIy
worked.

REASON OF
THE DELAY
Has Machinist Strike Very
Seriously Crippled
The L. & N?

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. 7th.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
1t is not an unusual occurrence for
a car of freight to become lost oc-
casienally, but does it not seem
strange that thirty cars of grain and
one car of gasoline should be lost
in one week, all destined for the same
point? AS a probable cause l venture
to suggest that It is the result OF pres
ent conditions on the L & N. road,
brought about by the strike OF the
machinists now en-.
Pensacoiians hear very little con-
corning this strike, but the machin-
lists OF this city, numbering eighty or
more, are conversant with conditions
existing all over the system. The
motive power of the company is in
deplorable condition and growing
worse, and it is becoming a serla is
matter with the company to handle
its business.
The local inconvenience ab We re-
ferred to Is but the beginning ca much
similar trouble to shippers and deal
ers locally. 1t has already become
acute in other cities and It behooyes
the merchants and business men OF
Pensacola to take steps to investigate
matters and they viii discover that
most delays to mail, freight and pas
senger traffic together with the wrecks
which have multiplied so lately are di-
rectly tracable TO the tubbornness OF
one official who persists in refusing
to discuss the trouble with the COM
panys employees
