WITHOUT IT'S rRousLEs


The BaIlinger-Pinchot controversy
seems destined to be thoroughly
threshed out and Investigated BY the
proper authorities. Congress. In the
various conventions of conservation.
irrigation and waterways congresses
this matter received much attention
fex weeks since the controversy
grew more and more bitter until I'm
ally a cessation of hosdhties seemed
to have been declared. Bat It now
appears That the flames of discard
were not extinguished. were merely
smothercd for the tine being, and
that the blaze has again burst forth
with greater brightness and more in
tense heat.
The situation IS not a pleasant one
for the administration. It reached
such an acute stage that inyestiga-
ton became inevitable and nov the
resolutions calling for the th@eshing
out Of the matter are ready for pre-
sentation from several different di-
rections. Some Ugly scandals are
likely to be revealed unless it turns
oat that It Is a withdrawing and not
thorough investigation which IS de-
sired.

an engagement of one OF the moot
startling. sensational. spectacular.
death-defying feats of daring known
among modern exhibitors.
he big feature is known as the
Dare Devil Dash Sensational In
Glue Dive" which is performed by
q noted performer Of aerial feat,,
who gives exhibitions of his remark
able skill and courage at places OF
amusement in the large cities and
the big pleasure resorts.
The Dare Devil of this life or
death performance rides down 4
sharply inclined narrow platform
ninety feet in the air at terrific speed,
upon bicycle. At the lower edge
of the platform there is an upward
curve which whirls rider and ma
chine far outward and upward into
space when the bicycle bearing its
intrepid rider passes over ii at the
velocity Of speeding railroad pas
senger train.
High in -midair the aerial per-
former scars. turning and turning
until he has completed one somer-
sanlt and then another, while his
bicycle leaves him, and falls into a
net spread above the ground many
feet below.
Then, still in nlidair. the perform
.er makes an almost super-human ef-
fort and plunges forward and down
ward into small tank of water
many feet distant through which he
dives like a monster of the ocean
and. completing another somer-
sauN, lands lightly upon his feet az
the upper side OF the tank. The big
high Incline will be built in the quar-
ter stretch at the fair grounds and
the tank into which the aerial won
der dives will be placed in the fair
grounds proper on the other side OF
the race track. Thus: the diver
passes entirely over the race track

tional and most hazardous perform
ance that has ever been attempts

er and his breath-holding attraction

two performances daily. the officers
OF the fair have gone to large ex-
pense. Owing to the extreme dan
ger to which the performer is sub
jected in making the dash aniI
plunge. he will not risk his life un-
less the reward for the perilous un-
dertaking is large. But. adhering to
their established rule to obtain only
the best and the most noted at
fractions for "The Old Clarksburg
Fair" the officers have obligated
themselves for large sum of money
in order to engage this marvellous at
traction and 1t will constitute one Of
