Army OAlcers ExpOund on Advantages of AerOplane Over Balloon In Times of War-Invent-
 OrH Go Home.

Washington, July s1.-Orville Wright's great flight last evening. in which he took Lieutenant Benjamin D. Foulois over the ten mile course from Fort Myer to Alexandria and return al speed of more than forty-two miles an hour. has made a deep impression on the army and navy officials. They contend that the accomplishment of the cross country flight demonstrated the availability of the aeroplane for use in warfare.
 Although they were there for the purpose of timing the aeroplane as it crossed and re-crossed the mark, the officers stationed at Shutters Hill. the southern end of the course. were talk en by surprise when the aeroplane was discovered flying in their direction. The manner in which the flying ma chine was lost to view from Fort Myer and then the rapidity with which 1t returned there after 1t was sighted above the crest of a hill, was another hint of the possibilities of the practi- cal use of the aeroplane by the army and navy.
 '"rhe great advantage of an aero- plano over a balloon for use in warfare is that 1t can fly low over Q rough country" said Wilbur Wright today, thus having objects on the ground in plain view. Orville demonstrated that yesterday. The speed at which he was travelling, with the small exposed sur face of the aeroplane would have made him practically safe from the fire of the enemy"
 After Orville had completed his suc- cessful speed trial Mss Katherine It is anticipated to achieve education to Bishop Wright. the father. who lives in Dayton, and to Redchlin Wright, another brother. who resides in Kan aas.
 Miss Wright was flushed with excite ment as she ran across the drill grounds to greet her brother after he had landed and could hardly contain herself because of tho pleasure Or ville's success gave her.

a mill is from the cutting end of the

may cut his own logs or buy them of
others. The granite manufacturing

where merely buy stone from Mr..
Barnard. They also buy other stone
as their customers may require but of
course handle Barton stock wherever
possible. So we See the quarry and
the sheds are entirely separate, and
mean two industries for Barton in-
stead of one.
With the prospect Of greater de-

other sheet. and we may look for the
beginning of great quarry industry
in Barton. Five men have been at
work at the quarry the past summer
under the direction of VIM. Rice. a
quarryman of long experience and
success. but more men, better facilities
for handling, and greater selling
field is the prospect for another sea-
son. The question of power at the
quarry has already been considered.
Another thing to be mentioned here is
the fact that the quarry is in such
shape that stone of almost any size or
form can be easily split, as the picture
shows. Two seventon stones are the
largest yet Quarried. The face of the
stone showing in the illustration is
about 225 feet long.
The quarry is three miles from the
village Of Barton, all down grade.
Prospects show that Barton mountain

will be opened up in the near future,
other places icing nearly as access
