The Dangers Involved In Three Di-

The Dangers Involved In Three Di-
mensionai Steering.
The navigation of the air Is form of
locomotion that differs from all the
others to which men have resorted in
that it involves three dimensional steer

1t is in the three dimensional nature
of aviation that the real wonder of IL
lies. Its demands upon the avator's
attention are almost appalling In NUM-
bcr and constancy. The automobilisr
has to mind what he is about not a lit
tie, and IL moments carelessncss means
disaster. but his divagations from safe

gravity take care of the others for him.

"Of course the idea Of the first plan
is to make people when they see how
little you've got want to chip in and
help. and the idea of the other plan
is to stir people up to generosity hv
showing them how generous others

Confidential Talk With
One of the City
AZ "Daddies'' -''-''~

Z There seems to be a differ
ence of opinion as to whether
to put up a bath house, hire an
attendant and put things in the
proper shape at the lagoon in
the city park. Some of the
Daddies are in favor of putting
things in shape and make a
small charge to the swimmers
to help cover the expense while
some just want to fill it with
water and let the sw; 1mers
take care of themselves. Just
think of a man weighing about
two hundred and seventy five
pounds, changing clothes be-
hind a tree of about seven
inches in diameter. That's too
much like digging a ditch
where it isn't needed. Fix it
up and we know of a few men
that will help make up the ex-
pense.

Logan, JAM 31.-The big Soldier riv-

Monday last, is still in progress. The
DIRECTORS occupied three and one-half

to prove the Wattles route impractical
and to establish more feasible route.
The promoters expect to occupy about
two and one-half days in overthrowing

fifteen to sixteen and one-half miles.
bitches and laterals, has an estimated
cost of 100000; the Mayne, without
side bitches and laterals, an estimated
cost of $4,000 to 100000. Both bitches
begin at the same point and run, it is
said, over the same line for distance
of two miles, thereby leaving the Wat
ties ditch four and one-haR miles to
the Missouri river, and the Mayne ditch
from thirteen to fifteen miles to the
Missouri river.
The chief objection urged against
the wattles ditch, from an engineering
standpoint, is that in time of high
water of the Missouri the ditch would
be so flooded by the waters of the
Muddy" as to become of little or no
value in discharging the flood waters
of the Soldier.
The chief objection urged against the
adoption of the Mayne ditch is the cost
as compared with the Wattles ditch.
