through the contest for the Lahm cup,
which is to take place some time dur
ing the summer. Various conditions
are attached to the contest for this
trophy, but the main thing is to ex-
ceed Lieut.. Lahm's record OF 402
miles. made last year, when he won
the international cup for America.
If the wind is blowing directly from
the north or west at the time of the
ascension from st. Louis and the up
per currents correspond with those
close to the earth IT will not be pos.
sible to exceed Count de La Vaulx's
record. The balloons will be carried
out to sea on the Gulf of Mexico or
the Atlantic ocean in such circum.
stances. But with a wind from any
other direction the chance of estab-
fishing a new record is exceedingly
good.
1t is not regarded as probable that
a balloon would be carried across the
Rockies from St Louis because of the
almost entire absence of east winds In
that section of the country, but with o
south wind or even a wind from the
southwest a balloon could be carried
not further than into northern Maine
and still establish a new record.
With Canada stretching for hun.
dreds of miles to the north the oppor
tunities in that direction are virtually
without limit, and in spite of the
chances of being lost in the wilds OF
the northland 1t is there that the eyes
of aeronauts are turned most hope
fully.
Men who are spending much money
and time in making elaborate plans to
add the worlds record as we'll as the
international cup to Americas trophies
are cheered by the knowledge that the
science of aeronautics has so far ad.
vanced that there will be little diff
Guilty In keeping a balloon afloat at
least as long as Count de La Vaulxs
was in the air when he made his rec.
ord fight.
Wise and his companions had been
in the air only 19 hours when he had
covered a distance of more than 500
miles in a straight line from st. Louis,
and the aeronaut's own record of the
voyage described a course covering
more than LOO miles, while Count de
La Vaulx was In flight for SO hours
and 45 minutes to cover a distance of
1850 miles.
If some daring American aeronaut
can maintain Wise's speed, and at the
same time maintain his balloon in the
air as long as did Count de La Vaulx.
there can be no doubt of beating the
record, provided the balloon is car.
ried over the land.
Wise was heading straight toward
what would now be the worlds record
when his balloon was wrecked. He
had followed general east-northeast
direction from st. Louis and was head.
ing down the valley of the st. Law.
renee, following the north shore OF
Lake Ontario. when he was suddenly
swept inland and his voyage ended.
Foreign aeronauts who have en-.
tered for the international cup race
are eagerly discussing this chance of
establishing a new record One of
the leading writers on aeronautics in
Paris recently went so far as TO say
that the question Of making a new rec
ord from st. Louis is the feature OF
the contest OF greatest interest to
! sportsmen.

II is the ambition of the American
aeronauts who will enter the contest
at st. Louis next October in the effort
to retain the international cup, which
Lieut.. Lahm won last year in his re-
markable flight from Paris to the
north of England, to make a new long
distance record. In fact long before
the contest for the international cup,
which is not to occur until October,
ascensions will be made to beat Count
de La Vaulx's record, St Louis will be
the point from which these ascensions
probably will be made, and before the
great race it is not at all improbable
tmat a new goal will have been set for
foreign aeronauts to attain.
One has but TO glance at the maps
of Europe and of the United States to
see at glance how much greater is
the opportunity for long flight from
st. Louis than from Paris. Whereas n
long flight from Paris is not possible
unless the wind is blowing approx
mately from the west, st. Louis is so
situated at the heart of the United
States that balloon may fly hundreds
of miles before reaching the sea, re-
gardless of the direction of the wind.
In fact, the chance of equalllng or
exceeding the worlds long distance
record, which is now held by Count
Henry de La Vaulx, is just twice as
great from st. Louis as from Paris
From the capital of France a balloon
must travel within a segment of a
circle OF only 10 degrees, having a
radius equal in length TO de La Vaulxs
record flight, to avoid being carried
out to sea, but from st. Louis the seq.
ment of such a circle within which
Count de La Vaulx's record may be
beaten includes 220 degrees.
Lieut. Frank p. Lahm's winning of
the international cup last year. with a
record of only 402 miles, is an illus
tration of the difficulty of attaining a
considerable distance from Paris, ex.
cept under favorable conditions On
the day set for the race the wind was
blowing almost directly from the
south and the balloons were carried
to the channel and thence to England.
Por Lieut.. Lahm to have attempted
further fight would have been to
court almost certain death by being
carried past the coast of Norway and
into the Arctic ocean.
That Count de La Vaulx's flight of
1850 miles from Paris TO the province
of Kieff, in Little Russia, made in
1900 still stands as the worlds long
distance record, in spite of hundreds
of ascents made each season since
then and determined and repeated eff.
forts of aeronauts to wrest from him
the title OF worlds champion, is con-
vincing proof of the difficulties in the
way of beating that record in Europe.
In America, on the contrary, the
door to opportunity is wide open. I'm
til Count de La Vaulx's exploit the
long distance record had been held in
this country for Al years by the flight
of John Wise and three companions
from st. Louis to northern New York
in 1853, a distance of more than 800
miles. Had Wise's balloon not been
caught In terrific storm and wrecked
II is quite possible that at that time a
record would have been made at leaGt
equal to that of de La Vaulx.
American aeronauts have an added
stimulus for establishing a new record

BOsRD'S WORK OF
SOLICITING FUNDS
Committees Meeting With Gratifying
Success But Not Yet Ready to
Report

The soliciting committees of the
board Of trade have met with very
pleasing success in their campaign for
securing subscriptions to an advertise
ing funf to be utilized during the en-
suing year. They have not yet secur-
ed the entire amount desired but feel
confident they will do so early this
week ami be able to report the names
of the subscribers and the amount
they haye given in this public spirited
work,
The chief opposition that the solc-
itors have met has been on the part
OF those who have an erroneous con-
ception of the purposes for which this
money Is to be expended. In the arous-
ing of, enthusiasm a wide range was
given to the views of citizens and their
opinions varied from those who wanted
to do no Advertising. (Which fortunate
| ly was small number) to those whose
enthusiasm led their faith beyond their
resources. A comprehensive campaign
OF newspaper advertising was talked
of as was the raising of a 100000 fund
! to do the work. But after looking the
! field over il was decided first to try
the proposition of $1,000 a month. be-
fore entering upon larger undertakings.
This wiz but little more than pay for
| the work to be done at home and for
which there is pressing need and but
/ a small part of that amount can be
set aside for newspapers. The home
work is the most urgent and will be
given first attention. By that work is
meant the proper care OF the board
headquarters and the providing of lit
erature for. those who ask for Ii here.
After rtfsslt II there is money enough,
I operations made be widened.
Secretary Cowgirl when asked yes
terday concerning these things said
7 that this false impression concerning
the purpose of the money to be raised
was the hardest thing the solicitors
| had to contend with. He said that his
idea of the situation Is that of this
$4,000 fund most of il should go for
! the maintenance of the board in its
various channels and for supplying
! plenty and q variety of literature in
the way pr inexpensive booklets and
pamphlets 70 the fifty odd people who

done here before the seeking of out

Encourage the Fine Stock Raiser.

Editor The Ranch: l have this
morn read with special interest W. D.
Goodrich's article, ct Pays to Raise
Registered Stock" on page Is of the
July LIST issue. 1t is a remarkably
good, practical article, and you should
have such a one in every issue. The
Pacific northwest is annually losing
millions of dollars from lack of quail
ity and care of the stock raised here;
and some of the breeders of choice,
pure bred stock are getting discour-
aged from lack of appreciation of
their efforts and lack of markets for
what they raise, when they know their
customers would double their profits
by buying and using better breeding
stock. A trip through almost any
part of the northwest will prove to
any good judge that much of the stock
raised is scarcely worth what little
feed and care they get. Yet most of
the owners could easily get better
stock that would yield big profit.
No good fruit grower now cares to
raise scrubby Gull fruit, but it is far
worse trying to succeed by raising
scrubby Gull stock. Yours truly,

who said, "Yo cain never tel wen dat
fool null am goin' to balk."
This is entirely wrong when one
makes as much of a study of the gaso-
line engine as is ordinarily made of
the growing of any farm produce. The
gasoline engine, at least the better
ones, are not at all complex and do
not require close attention in but a
few essential points. None of the
points are difficult to understand.
It is true as has been said in pre-
vious article in these columns, that
when one pays $50 for a gasoline en-
CINE, he usually gets about $50 worth
and seldom, if ever, any more.
G. H. Palmer, manager for Monroe
& Shelton at 1915 Western avenue,
Seattle, in an interview concerning
their engines, said in part:
Our aim has always been simplicity
combined with durability and efficien-
cy. We realide that the farmer hun
dred miles from the main store, has
not the opportunity to secure repairs
and we therefore have built our en-
gines so that he will not have to give
careful attention to but very few
things. When he does give careful at
tention to these few points, his engine
will run along smoothly and give him
no trouble.
Our engines are shipped complete
and ready for immediate operation.
''All that is required to start them
is to fill the cooling tank with water,

point where he might wish power.
1T is impossible for us to go farther
into details in this interview, but we
would be glad indeed to supply any
information and prices of our engines
to any farmer who may be interested"

Utility of the Gasoline Engine.

A great many farmers seem to labor
under the impression that the gasoline
engine is something on the order of
the southern mule, owned by the darby

readily as gasoline, and the former
costs less than half the latter.
Most of our engines are built on
skids, making them portable. This
does away with the necessity of ex-
pensive countershafting and enables
the farmer to move them from point to
point. This enables him to utilize
them at his feed cutter, his churn, his
wood saw, his pump, or at any other
