At their meeting in Devils Lake

Ballooning is an interesting, per-
haps at times thrilling sport, but it
is of doubtful result and the stage to
which it has arrived is of doubtful
value A balloon race begun at st.
Paul several days ago ended in a
sort of fiasco. The balloons were
started off with great enthusiasm
and splendid prospects, but the aver
age distance travelled was only COM
paratively few miles, and balloons
descended upon farm properties with
in a little distance of st. Paul with
some degree of interest to the ten
ants, having accomplished little in
way Of traversing the air. Every bal
loon is possessed of the faculty of
coming down, but few of them are
possessed of the ability to stay up.
The longest distance so far travelled
by balloon in this country is less
than a thousand miles, and the dis
lance and direction travelled depends
entirely upon wind currents and
chance. Dirigible balloons have not
proven successful travellers, and any
balloon is likely to come down a
good deal more rapidly than it goes
up. At the same time, the sport is
worth while, and it may be that with.
in few years we shall have accom-.
plished much in the direction of ira
versing the air. To say that success
full travels through the air are impos-
sible is to admit failure along a
line of undertaking which has been
partially successful, and that is tc
do what Americans do not do. Sc
long as we have people who are will
ing to risk their lives and limbs IL
making experiments, we may hope
that the problem of aerial navigation
will be some solved.

The state militia will get some
practical training this year at Ameri-
can Lake, Washington, where it will
go into camp and participate in the
maneuvers with the regular army.
The travel experience will be valua-
BILE, as will be the contact with reg
ular soldiers, and the instruction I'M
der trained experts. AS the benefits
will be added to by the trip itself,
which will be educating and broad
ening. There will be an element of
life ana entertainment in this long
distance trip that should compensate
the members of the militia for what
ever hardships and sacrifices they
may make to enroll themselves as
part Of the reserve to the regular
army, and the tendency of such out
ings should be to build UP better
and stronger organization, revive the
esprit de corps of the national guard
and bring about better conditions
through the state guard.

If there is light crop the price Of
grain is high and if there is a bum
per crop, the price is apt to be pro-
portionately low. After all is said
and done, the price of grain is gov
erned by the immutable law of sup
ply and demand and will continue to
be. The present price of wheat is
high and it will continue to be
so. Eight to ten bushels Of wheat to
the acre at price Of dollar a
bushel is better than fifteen bushels
at sixty cents, and the wheat raiser
has less freight to pay less crop 1to
handle, lessaexpense in caring for his
crop. There are compensations, after
all, in the reported falling off OF the
wheat yield. "'

SECRETARY GARFIELD WOULD
INCLUDE KILAUEA IN NATION
AL RESERVATION OR PARK.

Honolulu, T. H., July 20.-Secre-S;
tary of the Interior, James R. Gar
field, proposes to make the volcano
of Kilauea national monument sim
liar in all respects to the Yellow
stone parry reserve, and the petri1ed
forests of Arizona. The same action
may also be taken with regard to
Mount Haleaka1a, the worlds great
est extinct crater.
Secretary Garfield visited sboth of
these natural wonders during his Wis
it to the territory just ended and
he was enthusiastic regarding the
volcano which for the past several
months has been exceptionally spec
tacular in its activity. At the time
of his visit the crater contained an
area of seventeen acres Of molten
lava in constant violent ebullition.
An excursion party of $50 made the
trip at the same time. s.tS.1s
The secretary will also take steps
to declare the site Of Capt. Cooks
death a national monument also.
This spot on beautiful little bay on

In the matter of making a national
reserve of the Kilauea volcano it will
be necessary to secure transfer of
title to portion of the tract of ter
ritory on which it is located which
at the present time is a portion Of
a private estate, but it is believed
that there will be no difficulty in this
matter, and that the nation will then
possess one Of the greatest natural;

Solomon Luna, Republican national
committeeman from New Mexico In

is favorable to Taft, although the dele

BIG PIPE LINE

Water From Rio Bonito on Tap at Car

Four Months.

Carrzozo, n. NJ. Feb. 1.-The task
of getting water into Carrizozo from
the south fork of the Rio Bonito was
completed this week, the water being
turned into the Carrzozo pipe Tues
day, and two days later, the pipe be.
ing laid, 1t was on tap at Coyote, a
station twelve miles north of here, and
In reasonably short time all along
the line as far as Santa Rosa will be
supplied with the best quality of aqua
pura to be found in New Mexico.
This luxury will be appreciated by
the people along the eastern division
of the FL Paso and Southwestern rail
way system, who heretofore have been
compelled to Quench their thrsts with
|alkili and gypsum compound, most Of
whom had TO pay rs cents barrel for
the doubtful luxury.
The lake this side of Nogal will be
used as the main reservoir, and a
small reservoir, about half mile this
side of Carrlzozo, will be used to sup.
ply the railroad shops and roundhouse.
Considerable work, however, yet re.
mains to be done before the system is
completed, but as the work Is being
rushed, it is believed that the water
will reach Santa Rosa in less than
| four months. This will make a pipe
line l75 miles long from the intake on

Thaw Expected Mis-TriaI
The jury after having been up all
might in an attempt to reach a verdict.
welcomed release from their confine-
ment at o'clock this morning when
they were taken to breakfast. At that
hour there was no outward indication
that they would succeed in reaching a
verdict and Thaw and his counsel had
practically prepared themselves for
the announcement of disagreement.

their drawn and tense faces.
Defendant Spent Restless Night.
Thaw was up at dawn today. He
spent the most restless night since
the night he killed White. He seemed

asylum but if that should be the yer
dict of the jury he seemed confident
that he would be able to win his way
out of the asylum in short time.

Justice Bowling said he deemed
Thaw's discharge would be dangerous
to public safety and committed him
to Mattewan Asylum for the Insane

I-ittleton filed an exception to the de.
cision retaning Thaw in custody and
committing him to the asylum. Al

to the asylum until p. m. to allow
his counsel to confer as to whether

Transferred to the Asylum.
Thaw was taken to the Mattewan
Asylum late this afternoon and was
accompanied by his wife and mother
The parting was very pathetic. Coun'
