hfbited by the peace conference held at
The Hague. This compact still holds
for five years. No balloon or airship
is to carry dynamite or other explosive
bombs.
Rifles have been invented with such
high power that if balloon is sighted
over camp or fertilization it can be
hit at the distance of several miles.
The gas bag or other vital apparatus
could be riddled with well-directed
shells. OF course, war is game In
which one invention is pitted against
another.
The cost of these a.rshIps, say for
instance, like the one operated by San
tos-Dumont, is about sec, 900. Then
each one must have shed and gas
plant where it is to be located, making
in all 100000 for each machine. Ten

UNKNOWN.

By the side Of lonely mountain stream
A little rose-bush grew,
One little bud was all it had
To drink the summers dew.
Alone and friendless there it lived
Unknown to earthly eyes;
But God e'er watched Ger this lone bush
From His home past the skies.
The sun rose from his eastern bed
In rays of glorious light:
When lifting her face to the hills,
Was rose of purest white.
So like the pure rose by the stream
Fruition comes from woe:
And hearts pure in the eyes OF God
Unknown may be below.

WHEN uncle SAN SENDS HTS IRSI T Fl ~ EET H< 2H

When Captain Charles DeForest
Chandler of the signal service was Wis
iting his parents in Cleveland short
time ago he told a newspaper man
about his trip from st. Louis to the
Chesapeake bay In a balloon, the con-
test being planned by the Aero Club
Of st. Louis. incidentally he mentioned
the determination &C the United States
signal service officials to increase the
airship facilities of the service. He
said:
There Is no longer any question
about the airship being the best means
of obtaining information about an en-
envy or foreign foe. For instance, we
can examine the situation OF treat
areas of land. Now, when a general
goes into battle he must know exactly
how the land lies. We know, Of course,
by maps. But it Is impossible for one
man to obtain an accurate idea OF the
strength Of an enemy and how the land
lies as far as his opponent is con-
cerned except by getting what is called
a birds eye view. That is the whole
secret of the worth of the airship-to
get the birds eye view. Balloons for
this purpose are out of the question be-
cause of the fact that they cannot be
controlled except as to altitude. Mo-
tors are now being hung under them
so that they can be driven about with
certainty and dispatch.
ut is not necessary to go into the
question OF operation with any one here
In this country. There are no secrets
here or anywhere. 1t Is only the ques-
ton of working out the details In the
problem in the best way, and l am sure
that we in America can do this better
than any one else"
Some people imagine that the airship
will be used for the purpose of carry
ing destructive bombs which could be
dropped from overhead on to an enemy
In camp. This mode OF warfare Is pro-

The United States government is go
Ing into the airship and balloon busi-
ness on an extensive scale In the near
future. The War Department has ask
I'd permission of Congress to spend ST.
100000 or so for coast defense airships
The most exactlng requirement Is
sued in the proposal by the War De-
partment Is that before acceptance a
trial endurance flight win be required
of at least one hour, during which time
the flying machine must remain contin-
uously in the air without landing.
Right here IS where the inventors of
flying machines ''fell down" with the
French government not long ago. The
inventors reside in Dayton, Ohio, and
the French representatives said that
they would buy the machine if the in
ventors would operate 1t successfully,
making flight OF certain number of
miles and remaining in the air certain
length Ct time
To make long story short, the
French did not buy the machine and
nobody else has bought it thus far.
A number of inventors pretend that
they have certain secrets about their
machines which the other fellows do
not know and which must not be re-
yesled. But Uncle Sam says to all
such in his specifications that secrets
cut no figure. He must have the goods.
He says that the bidders must furnish
complete scale drawings of their device
and they are notified that it is desira-
BILE that the machine shall be capable
of being easily and quickly taken apart
and reassembled and be transportable
in an ordinary wagon.
To protect the government against
irresponsible and visionary persons who
set up claims to be inventors Of prac-
teal flying machines, bidders will be
required to furnish with their proposals
a certified check to the amount of 10
per cent Of the price of the machine.

VOTE RECOUNT
MAKES TANdLE

Matt Kane yesterday filed. petit
ton asking for a recount of the votes
east for the assembly candidates. On
the official count Kane won out over
Branch Smith by one vote. Then
when Smith asked for a recount he
won by six votes. And yesterday
when the count of the precincts was
finished it was found that Kane had
won by majority of.eight. Kanes
principal gain was in the Manhattan
precinct, where thirty-one ballots
which were thrown out were counted.
OF this number Kane received
twenty-five votes and Smith nine.
The total number of votes received
by both men now stand as 1911 for
Kane and 1908 for Smith. This in
sures the election of Smith and Kane
and places Charles Wonacott in the
also ran column. The result was
quite surprise to the public, for it
was thought that the election of
Wonacott was assured. In all prob
ability he will contest the vote and
ask for recount of all the precincts.

POSTAL Will
GIVE A fine
Wire SERVICE

Key Pittman, president of the
southern Nevada Telephone COM
pany, is en- route to New York City
to complete arrangements with Clar-
ence H. Mackay of the Postal Tele-
graph and Cable company for install
lation of the Postal system through
out Nevada, the lines now being con-
structed.
The object of Mr.. Mackay is to
make the Postal a transcontinental
service and Nevada will furnish the
last link in the chain by the CONSOLE
dalton of the oPstal with the South
ern Nevada Consolidated systems.
The latter already have lines from
Rhyolite to Goldfield and Tonopah,
and from Carson to towns 100 miles
south. Arrangements have been
completed to extend the wires to
Reno, following the Sierras out of
Carson. From Reno the line will ex-
tend to Sacramento. The enterprise
will cost easily $150,0OO.
Self-operating typewriters will
figure in the new venture, the first
experiment to be conducted in Ne
vada. The elimination of operators
is the main idea. The typist presses
the keys of the machine and the mes
sage is received by a typewriter al
the other end of the wire and pro-
duced mechanically.

THE QUESTION.

The question is why should a railroad
be protected and guaranteed by law in
a profitable return on it's capital when
all other forms of business have to take
their chances? What law or statute
in any state or federal enactment ever
gave the courts the right to so provide
for public utility corporations? Is it
fair and just that corporate capital
should enjoy such special protection of
the courts when private capital could
not claim it or hope to receive it if
claimed?
Why should not public utility corpor-
lions take their chances with other
forms of capital in the matter Of re-
turns on their investments? Who made
them the subject of especial protection
at the hands of the courts? Have the
people ever given sanction to laws look
ing to that end? Is it not about time
that laws were passed directing courts
to keep within the confines of statute
law in the exercise of their powers of
defination? Have we not had altogeth-
er too much court made law? From
whence and what source do the courts
derive their authority except it be by
express statute? What statute ever
said that one kind of capital should be
guaranteed a remunerative return on
its investment and all other forms of
capital must take what they get?
