PRACTICAL AIRPLANING.

Skeptics who have been doubling the
utility of the aeroplane as practical
device have reason to modify their
position in view of Paulhan's perform
ance the other day in making a cross
country flight for the purpose of call
ing on friend. The Frenchman start
ed off as for a test fly, moved some
miles into the country, alighted easily
at the gate of the chateau, and after
visit departed without difficulty and
returned to his starting place. This is
the real test of the practicability of
any heavier than-air machine. The
Wright machine in all its flights at
Fort Myer and elsewhere has been
launched with a weight from a run
way. Some Of the European machines
are operated with wheels and do not
require the special starting device. 1t
is said for the Wright machine, how
ever, that it could easily be equipped
to start from any point where the ma
chine might chance to light. In view
of M. Paulhan's achievement the other
day this is no longer matter of the
DRY, and soon aeroplanes may be flying
in all directions as the experimenters
widen their range Of activity.
M. Bleriot, who made the first flight
across the English channel, has just
declared in a speech at London that
aeroplaning will soon cease to be a
mere sport and announced that he
hopes in a short time to have created
a new machine with which the English
channel can be crossed speedily and
without the least danger He intimated
that his novelty plane will enable its
operators to land on the sea at will
and to start again without difficulty.
This will, indeed, be an advance in
aviation. If the aeroplane can be so
perfected that it can be operated
equally we'll from both land and sea
at the start there will no longer be
doubt of it's practical utility for at least
individual transportation if not for the
carriage of large numbers or heavy
weights.

THE DRYLAND FARMING
MOVEMENT.
Oregon Journal)

(Oregon JournaD
According to statements made by
Representative Mondell of Wyoming in
his address at Spokane last week. there
are about 500, 100000 acres of arid and
semi-arid lands west of the 9th medi-
dian that are not irrigable. From
100, OO0, 900 to 15O,0OO,O0O acres of this
land, it is estimated, can be made prof.
itably productive under scientific Gull
tivation, or by what is known as dry
land farming. This might at a very
conservative estimate give a yield of
25O,O00,O00 bushels of wheat, or it's
equivalent in other crops, enough to
supply bread and seed for twice the
present population of the United States
If 150,000,000 acres were successfully
seeded, the present yield would be
trebled, and we would be long in real
izing Mr.. J. J. Hills prediction of this
country becoming an importer instead
of an exporter of wheat
The possibilities of results of dry
land farming, as thus presented, are
stupendous, alluring. Mr.. Mondell lives
in a desert country, Wyoming, and is
president of the dryland farming con-
gress, so his figures are to be consid-
cred with caution; yet probably he
speaks within the bounds of sense and
reason.
1t has been demonstrated that what
is now known as dry land can be sue
cessfully farmed. Great crops cannot
be raised ordinarily on such lands, but
crops that will support people in COM
fort and allow them gradually to get
ahead can be raised, and it is import
ant that all such lands be utilized. AS
our population increases it will become
more difficult and impossible for every
body to get either well moistured or
irrigated lands; an increasing number
scientific cultivation will produce crops.
The objects and work of the day
farming workers are intensely prac-
teal and laudibly patriotic. They are
to produce crops, even hundreds of
millions of bushels of world feeding
grain, where until recently it was sup
posed no crops worth while could be
raised The mission of the congress
is also, as the Spokane Spokesman
Review remarks, ito convey instruc-
tions to farmers on so-called dry lands

In one sense it is as well that the
death toll has grown despite the efforts
of a few cities. This fact will prob
ably appeal to the country at large
more emphatically in behalf of whole
sale reform than though there had been
no increase, or even a slight diminu
ton, in the face of the few local pro-
hibitions. The spectacle furnished by
Washington, D. c., contributing moth
ing to the casualty record, not even a
serious burning, is the best possible
argument for the universal adoption of
the same measures that were enforced
here before and during independence
day.
What is needed in this connection is
countrywide prohibition of the dan
gerous devices that are misused on the
national birthday in a barbaric display
of so-called patriotism. 1t is not
enough for cities here and there to put
them under the ban. State legislatures
should adopt the necessary restrictions
forbidding their manufacture. Only by
such means will the traffic which has
cost the United States many thousands
of lives be brought under control.

GRAIN SINKS ON

AFTER PRONOUNCED ADVANCES
EARLY, WHEAT CLOSES BE. =
LOW MONDAYS MARK,
Provisions, Led BY Pork Take Plum
NETS Course-Corn Pit Duplicates
Action of Wheat.

CHICAGO, Nov. 17-After pro-
nounced advances in the early trading
grain in all the pits here today sank
steadily and closed at or slightly be-
low yesterdays final figures. Provis-
ions, particularly pork, took a plum
met course from the start.
When the wheat market opened with
sharp advance December going up
full cent in the first hour with May
a close second, conditions seemed ripe
for repetition of yesterdays strength.
The backbone of the market, however,
was quickly broken by numerous pro-
fit taking sales, in which big elevator
interests were credited with the lions
share. At the close of the trading De-
cember stood at $107 1-2, unchanged
from Yesterdays final quotations, with
May 3S below yesterday at $1.05 IA.
The corn pit duplicated the perfor-
nance in the wheat trades and after
a spectacular advance on the opening
over the entire corn belt, prices sag
ged under the hail of profit taking
sales, December closing 1-S@4c lower
than yesterday at 60 1-4@3-Sc.
Cash demand was poor and local
sales totaled an aggregate of $4,000
bushels. Car receipts were less than
estimated and primary arrivals for the
1rSC time Oh late were less IudI lICSC
of a year ago, the figures being $4,000
bushels and 100000
Profit taking sales which changed
an initial advance to a steady decline
were also a feature of the day in the
trading in oats. Primary receipts,
as in corn, showed an unusual deficit
The range of prices was less in oats

sylvania started on a downward course
after the new stock was determined
upon.
Discounts abroad were easier and
the International money conditions ap-
parently relaxed all around. New
York exchange at Chicago held at par,
relieving the pressure on New York
from that point.
Call loans ruled below five percent
and reflected an easing tendency.
That quiet speculation is a requisite
to tine continuance of the condition
was a prevalent view still and this
had it's effect as a restraint on the
stock market.
The publication of the comptroller's
call for reports of condition by the
national banks is mOmentarily expect
ed and it is surmised that the banks
have been engaged in some window
dressing" for the occasion. For that
reason it is expected that funds will

CONFUSION SHOWN
IN STOCK MOVEMENT
PRICES SWAYED BY AFTER Eff
FECTS OF MONDAYS COPPER
MERGER REPORTS.
Definite Accomplishment of Consolida-
ton Plans Not Expected Now
for Many Months.

NEW YORK, November IL The
confusion in the movement of prices in
to-day's stock market was due princi-
pally to the after effects Of yesterdays
excitement over the reported copper
consolidation. The positiveness of yes
terday'S excitement over the reported
terday'S assertions on that sub
ject forced some recognition and led
to more candid admissions. From these
it appeared that the definite accom-
plishment of the plans in view was not
to be looked for until a considerable
time had elapsed-perhaps many
months. That actual consultations
are intended was admitted, although
important EXCEPTIONS amongst the i'm
portant copper producers were men
toned. This uncertain state of the
project threw some hesitation into the
speculative movements based on it.
Amalgamated Copper itself seemed
to be pressed consistently on the mar
ket and the obstacles it encountered
to any further advance at last nights
final price took the edge off its effect
on the rest of the list. Some other
stocks concerned in the consolidation
made further advances.
The announcement that the Amerf
can Telephone and Telegraph company
mas acquired the 1nf1uentlal hOldlng IN
the Western Union was calculated to
confirm the confidence that important
financial transformations were at
work, leading to reaction on profit TAX
ing when the formal announcement
came.
The success realized for the Penn
sylvania stock subscriptions revived
the stock, the proceeds of the sub
scriptions running over the estimates
by reason of the large amount of
convertible bonds turned in for the
purpose of securing the subscription
privilege. This removed a ground for
considerable vague uneasiness which
had overhung the market since Penn

A NATIONAL REFORM NEEDED.

Statistics have been compiled show
ing that despite the efforts In certain
cities to lessen the mortality Incidental
to the celebration of independence day
more casualties occurred the Fourth of
July last and Immediately following
than in prior years. The journal Of
American Medical association figures
that no less than 215 lives were lost
in. consequence of the barbaric prac-
tetanus There were in all reported
$50 cases of tetanus, of which 100
were accredited to the discharges of
blank cartridges.
1t does not follow from this showing
that the safe and sane" measures
which were adopted in a few cities
were ineffective Indeed, the contrary
is true. The cities where such meas
ures of precaution were enforced con-
tributed no deaths to the total mortu-
airy roll The increase must be as
cribed to the failure of municipal au-
thorities elsewhere to recognize their
duty and to adopt regulations for the
protection of human life. If the ex-
ample set by Washington were fol-
lowed universally the casualty totals
would fall inevitably to a negligible
