The dilettante in search of new SEN
satloR Is as dangerous as an automo-
bilist with the speed mania. ] hesitate
TO make trip with beginner who says
the danger is nothing, with the man
who says, "Oh, I I'M not afraid. I've
got the nerve" AS a matter of fact
when good sense is used, there is no
more danger than there is in an auto
mobile trip. But there is much POI
tential danger. I am willing to make
the trip with a beginner who says, No,
I'm new at this, and want you to take
the rudder. don't know it ALL"
Another thing, balloons and all air
crafts will soon be equipped with wire
less telephone. An air craft in distress
can send a G. d. @. message to earth
just like a vessel at sea. 1t should be
compulsory that equipment for COM
munications with the earth or airships
he installed. A balloon in trouble
would simply telephone it's location or
general direction and rescue balloons
or automobiles could be sent to the
rescue.
The U. s. army corps with which I
have been connected has successfully
experimental with De Forest instru-
nent, weighing less than one hundred
Eounds. However, there is a new
sparkless and wireless telephone of
the radio variety which weighs only
ten pounds and which any balloonist
can safely carry. The radio sparkless
attachment does away with the danger
of setting the gas bag on fire. The
weight of the telephone is so small
that when the balloon lands out in the
country the operator can put it under
his arm and take it with him. An
cld-fashioned wireless telegraph is i'm
practical for the reason that it makes
a spark that may ignite the gas bag.
Ballooning has advanced so far now
that it is no longer experimental but
is science. The throwing out of bal
last is science. It takes a long time
to learn to handle a balloon properly
! Why, in the fitness of things should
beginner, one who has nothing to
urge him on except curiosity and dare
dcviltry, be allowed to risk other lives
I think the license to beginners
should be made reasonably hard to OBJ
tain. And further, the laws regulat
ing the ballooning should be severe
Ballooning is matter of public con
eern, and when licenses are first is
sued I hope that they will not be giver

IDAHO AT IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
Large Delegation Headed by Governor
Brady.


Idaho will send several large and rep
resentative delegations to Join in the
Iarade of the irrigation army at the
seventeenth sessions of th National r.
rigation Congress in Spokane the second
week in Augu"t. The contingent from
the southern part of the state is to be
headed by Governor J. II. Brady. Gov
ernor Brady says:
81 am most thoroughly interested in
the welfare of Idaho and the develop
ment of her great natural resources.
Having first come to Idaho for the pur-
pose of looking after my personal in
terests in the construction and operating
CT large irrigation canals, am particu-
larly interested in the good work which
will be accomplished by concerted effort
in the reclamation of irrigable and arid
lands in Idaho. Idaho is proud of the
progress which has been made along
these lines in the last five or six years.
81 doubt not that great measure
of the success which has been met by
the efforts of those interested in the
reclaiming of arid lands in Idaho is due
to the good work which has been and is
being done by the individual members
and the delegates to the National Irri
cation Congress, as well as by the sit
tings of that body.
"In southern Idaho we can say, per-
haps boastingly, that we have made 'the
desert bloom like the rose.' Electric
power plants, electric railways, steam
railroads, good homes, county roads, or
chards and crops and growing cities are
the results of the wonderful progress
made in the irrigation of arid lands in
Idaho within the last four or five
years"

Pave With Straw.

Paving town streets with wheat straw
as means of binding the mud in the
spring and keeping the dust down later
in the season is being demonstrated at
Endicott in Whitman county, Washing
ton, where two miles of streets were
treated this spring, foot of fresh straw
being laid from curb to curb and packed
into the wet ground following slight
rainfall. The experiment is considered
to be a success, as the streets are neat
and clean and there is no dust, though
traffic to and from the big wheat
ranches is heavy.

More Irrigation Land.

More than 100000 acres of land, ex-
elusive of government projects, will be
added to the irrigated area in eastern
and north central Washington this year,
and arrangements are also under way to
put water on thousands of acres of land
in northern Idaho and Oregon, western
Montana and southeastern British Co.
lumbia. AS most of these lands will
be devoted to apples, peaches, pears
and plums it is estimated that from
100000 to 100000 trees will be
planted during the next IA months, CIV
ing employment to hundreds of men in
various parts of the Inland Empire this
spring, next fall and the spring of 1910.
