The basket picnic given today by the Red Men lodges of Ensley. Wylam and Dolomite at the picnic grounds on Ave nue E and Thirty-fourth street was a great success The members of the lodges with their wives and sweethearts gathered in large numbers and entered into the spirit of the occasion. J. M. Bensinger was master of ceremonies and filled the place admirably. The lodges formed procession and marched to the grounds. preceded by Memolis band At the head of the parade a large Amer ican flag was carried.
 The morning was devoted to speech making, Dr. H. c. Elkhourie, J. M Ben singer Jake Burger and John B. Nolan being among the speakers. The ad- dresses were instructive and inspiring to the membership and were well received by the large audience assembled to hear them. Patriotism. fraternalism, rever- ence for religion, brotherly love and charity were the themes of the speakers as they extoled and explained the prin- ciples of the order.
 After an elegant dinner the afternoon was spent in various sports and games. Several baseball games were played, while the young folk 'tripped the light fantastic to the strains of the excellent music furnished by the band. The af- fair was very successful and much cred

President Perkins Optimistic.


 The Commercial club of Ensley will hold a business meeting next week for the purpose of receiving the reports of the returning officers and to appoint commit tees and transact such other business as may come before 1t. J. M. Perkins, the new president, in speaking of the meet ing held last night and the plans for the future said:
 'The principal feature that impressed me last night was the "Ensley spirit manifested by her citizens in getting to- gether and pulling for the general good. l can safely say I never saw a more representative body of men gathered to- gether on any occasion. It was with gen uine pleasure I noticed an inclination and desire to eliminate any and all personal piques and prejudices and that Ensleys material welfare rather than personal preferment seemed to be the keynote.
 There is much work to do and much good can be accomplished by a live and up-to date commercial club. No one doubts this who is in the least familiar with the work already accomplished by the body of men who have honored me by electing me president
 And what Is true here is true of every city. The rapid and substantial growth of the western cities is due in a large measure to the activity of their | commercial bodies. Ensley has a great | future and sincerely hope the members | of the club will continue to work for l the advancement of our industrial and other conditions. I feel sure they will. | Ensley now ranks as the fourth city in | the state and as such Is attracting much attention. There will be undoubtedly opportunities for work on the part of the | Commercial club that will add to the ma l terial welfare of our city"

''The method of constructing the cylin- der so as to resist the tremendous at mospheric pressure has never been made public," continued MT. McCready. ''Dr. de Bausset bequeathed to me the work of carrying out his ideas. Hence, while the foreign patents on the general prin- ciple have expired, the secret of con- struction was never made public by the inventor. Whether the plan will attain any greater success than it did when first brought before the public 20 years ago I can not tell. All l can now say is that the plan of actual flight, as worked out by Dr. de Bausset, is being carefully studied by one of the foreign govern ments, and if 1t is decided to build a ship on the vacuum principle, the secret of l construction and other rights will prob ] ably be sold. The revival of interest in the vacuum system is due chiefly to the great success of the Zeppelin airship with the practical possibilities 1t has brought so prominently to the front. The vacuum airship, however, should it do all that the inventor asserted, would not only revo- lutionize all systems of aerial locomotion, but would make the commercial utility of ] the airship a thing of the immediate l future

  MONSTERS OF THE AIR Old Idea Revived May RevoIutionize Rapid Translt-ls Being Worked Out by European Scientists
 and Governments.
OF THE AIR
From the New York Times.

From the New I Ork Times.
 The vacuum airship is being talked of again. It is somewhat surprising, in view of the widespread interest in every thing pertaining to problems of aerial flight, that pr. de Bausset's remarkable invention of 20 years ago has not been heard from before. But according to c. A. McCready, of the Produce exchange, who became the executor of Dr. de Baus- sets effects and the custodian of his in vention four years ago, the vacuum air ship plan as worked out by the French physician and scientist is now under in vestigation by representatives of one of the European governments
 The vacuum airship came very near be- ing adopted by the United States in 1888, for in that year a bill was favorably re- ported in the 51st Congress authorizing the appropriation of $150,000 to build an airship according to Dr. de Bausset's methods. pr. de Bausset was resident of this country during the last 40 years of his life, and he died in this city in 1905.
 Dr. de Bausset's plan for aerial travel, startling as it may seem at first won the approval not only of Congress but of many eminent engineers who were at first disposed to ridieule the plan. His Idea was to build a huge steel cylinder over TOO feet long, and by means of de- hating it by pumping out most of the air, creating a partial vacuum, obtain suffi- cent buoyancy to raise not only the mammoth cylinder in the air but to carry several tons, either as freight or passen- gers.

HapDy New Year,

! Write 1t 1910 or else some Of
your correspondents might get a
letter purporting to have been
written a whole year ago.
We are happy to say that for
some time past good friends of
The State-Line Herald have given
US occasion to practice writing it
1910, and even 1911 by causing
the overjoyed newspaper man
to issue them a receipt for the
Herald paid well in advance.
There are others who doubt
less are contemplating a visit to
the sanctum, and causing a big
dollar and a half smile to blossom
forth upon the editorial counten-
ance-and we know there must
be big bunch O. them.
And then there are still others
who are perhaps not so minded
just yet simply because they are
too deeply ensrossed in their own
problems. But if these knew how
inexplicably happy the newspa-
per man would be to see them
and at the same time be caused
to bring that subscription well
ahead and write it 1910 or even
1911-we know they would not
rest until the bloody deed is done.
In fact, we stand ready at all
times to sacrifice ourselves to
our friends and issue them a
subscription receipt paid in full
up to any date. even at the risk
of having to practice writing it
1912. 1918 or any other higher
number. Oh. we are bold, we
are desperate and have a disre-
gard for ink that is phenomenal
when it comes to the writing Of
subscription receipts.
There is reason in our madness.
We have an ambition. a big am
bition : the ambition of doing
nothing less than to purchase a
good cylinder press, so we can
print the Herald in our own shop
instead Of having to tote it
around among good neighbors.
Such a press would cost from
$500 upwards. Yes. printers
machinery costs monev, and the
dollars which the publisher gets
don't all go to buying fast horses
and stock certificates, or real es-
tate mortgage at ten per cent.
Somehow it all leaks away, and
il this particular editor were not
fortunately a justice Of the peace
immensely popular. and therefore
in line once in a while to make
an honest dollar marrying a
couple Of love-sick young people,
dearth would ever and again
reign supreme in the pocket in
which the editor keeps his small
change. AS to his big change
he doesn't take the trouble to
keep it at all. The other dsv hn
acquired a safe. Yes, The Statt,-
Line Herald now boasts safe
but the door to that strong box
is never locked there is never
any coin lying around in it, and
we are rather sorry for the
cracksman who would pick out
the Herald sanctum for the ply
ing of his vocation, for he would
not get chance even to bust
up" the old box, much less to
bust the editor.
So then, will our kind readers
remember the great editorial
need of a nice big newspaper
press, so we can furnish them
throughout tn coming year a
we'll printed paper-something
which urder he existing dire
corfitict were unable to do
lately?

Happy New Year.

The greatest railway lrobIo
OF America, yet to be solved is
the building of the Pan American
railroad, fond dream heretofore
OF a ride from the shores of the
turbulent Yukon down ten thous-
and miles to Terra del Fuego.
The dream is being dreamed
quite actively now, the work,
pushed by American capital, be-
ing centered on the building Of
railroads in southern Mexico and
Central America. BY the middle
OF next year it is hoped that the
traveller will be able to get as far
as Uncle Sans big ditch at Pan,
anna, by rail.
The country tributary to Beach,
latterly made famous by the name
of the Golden Valley, is surely
coming in for some good adver-
tising. Hardly a paper from
Fargo or Grand Forks, but what
in some tune or other the praises
of Beach and the Golden Valley
are snug Whoever it is that has
in charge the matter of making
prominent those two namesknows
the value of printers ink, and is
everlastingly at it, spreading the
stuff on the public mind. AS re-
Gently as five years ago, there
was barely ascratch Or the prair-
lie between the toughest of the
Bad Lands and the Montana line
and 10 and behold, today they
are fighting for the possession of
its acres at SIC to $25 per acre.
Is the Golden Valley any better
than the lands we have about US
in Perkins, Adams, Bowman or
Harding? Possibly, yes - bat
most probably, no. The difference
is that the Beach folk have a new
and attractive way of "hollering"
about their land tnan the rest of
US have about our own good fort
une. Only last week it was stat
ed most emphatically that Beach
was far and away the most prom
inent original selling loint of
grain, citing in evidence the fact
that something like a million dol
lars had been paid by the banks
on grain tickets. That IS fine.
