now busfly engaged building second
machine that is to eclipse the first one

THE glider constructed by my
brother Hans and myself is a biplane
of our own design, measuring 20 feet
from tip to tip. The depth is Az feet,
including 1 foot extension of the ribs.
The height Is also 4l5 feet, and the
machine has 175 square feet of surface.
The ribs which form the planes are
l foot apart, and are covered with
muslin, which has a double coating of
starch The glider has rear rudder
which extends feet, and small hori-
zontal plane. There are two armsticks
in the center of the lower plane, on
which a trapeze hangs, and the glid-
erist sits on. this. or swings from his
arms We balance the machine by
throwing our bodies to one side or the
other Some of the boys kick their
feet about like acrobats, and others
lust use their shoulders. In descend
ing we lean forward. In starting we
lean back-away back-when we want
to go very high. The towed flights
are more successful than the free
flights We are building our second
machine on a much broader plan; so
that it can be run with a motor Our

Forwarding this good work. the Pa
cific Aero club is offering a series OF
prizes for original models Of airships,
and most of the members OF the San
Francisco Aero club hope to have ex-
hibits in this contest, which will be
closed some time in May. Many OF the
models that the boys intend to enter
are already constructed. Professor Hi
dalgo is Offering a prize especially for
school boys and girls.
II wonder IL girl could make a
model of an airship," said Meussdorf-
fer musingiy. Girls are brave enough
to go up in the machines all right. but
they don't cut much of a dash with
tools. We were thinking of letting
girl go up on one of our gliders. but we
got afraid that she might let go or
something up in midair.''
And what would happen IL she let
go?" I asked.
He smiled.

secret design, which they hope to have
ready for inspection in about three
weeks. The boys have made arrange
ments to rent an engine of French man
ufacture. and it is with this that the
club will make It's initial flight with
real power.
I'VE don't like to boast of the things
we are going to do until we can make
few demonstrations" said Wallace
modestly. He is something of a
craftsman and the walls of his
room are covered with working draw
ings of aeroplanes. He has a scrap

Of the country must be con-

of the country must be con-
served for the benefi OF the peo-
pie OF the present and future, the
question has arisen whether or
not the state or the nation
should have control in the mat
ter. A spirited struggle is on to
decide this point, in which the
president, many representatives,
senator's, governors and other
public men are taking part. The
question, however, should not
long remain unsolved, for, not
withstanding each state might
be able, in some instances, to
control the work satisfactorily
within it's own borders, yet it
must be recognized sooner or
later that in order to do the
greatest good to the greatest
number, the work OF conserving
the resources of the whole coun-
try must be under national con-
troll. Otherwise there can be no
assurance that conservation
will b. uniformly and effectively
carried on.

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Herrig were
Friday visitors at Athol.
Mr.. Crozier has moved his family
to- Sterling. where Mr.. Crozier has an
interest in the dry goods of Sterling
store.
The work on the new railroad is
progressing rapidly, although it has
been hindered somewhat on account
Of the forest fres, which have been
raging 10 this vicinity. The work
train now runs some distance past
Sterling.
Sterling Store keeps a very good
line of apples. We who have tried
them know that they are very nice.
Mr.. Roush, whose home recently
burned, expects to build again. 1t /.

Last week there was some excite
ment IN Sterling. The first freight
that came over the new road was un.
loaded. We expect the train crew
would be glad IL they could unload
freight 10 Sterling every day if
brownie" would pass the cigars
around as be did this time.
All the wood that formerly was
hauled to AthOl from here is being
piled along the railroad Cars are
expected soon to load the wood 10 TO
be shipped.
The school children OF this district
are glad school has started again and
that Miss Remington is again their
teacher.
