EUGENE 3. ELY, IN CuRTlSs 81.
-. PLANE, MAKES SUCCESS
'F Full FLIGHT

Fl. Monroe, Va.-Aaerial navigation
proved Monday that 1t is factor
which must be dealt with in the naval
tactics OF the future, II the successful
flight made by Eugene B. Ely in a
Curtiss biplane from the deck Of the
cruiser Birmingham can be taken as a
criterion. From Hampton Roads, the
scene forty-fiye years ago Of another
epoch in the history Of naval warfare.
when an ironclad proved its superior
ity over the former type of fighting
vessel, the aviator flew across the
lower end Of Chesapeake bay, landing
on the shore opposite from this fort.
The aviator, shortly after 3 o'clock,
glided from the platform erected on
the front Of the cruiser, swooped
down until he touched the water, then
rose rapidly and was off In the direc.
tion of the Atlantic. Four minutes
later he was lost on the eastern hori.
zon, and an instant later had landed
safely on Willoughby spit.
The impact with which the machine
struck the water after Its thirty.seven
foot drop from the cruiser SCARED one
Of the propeller blades, and small
piece was split from the blade. but
the speed of the aeroplane was not
lessened and 1t darted away with ex.
press train rapldity on its flight.
Intermittent rain throughout the
day, several small hail showers and
continuous fog almost compelled the
aviator to postpone his attempt. But
he was determined to prove as he said
after the flight, that he could accom-.
plish more than had been expected.
Ely said 1t would be an easy matter
for an aeroplane to alight on a YES
sci either while the latter was moving
or standing still. Naval experts who
witnessed the flight expressed their be-
lief that the navies Of the future must
take the aeroplane into consideration.

Greatest Colo. Irrigation Project.

Greeley.-The greatest irrigation
project ever proposed In Colorado
bids fair to become reality as soon
as men and money can complete it.
This Is the damming Of the South
Platte river at the Narrows, in Nor
gan county, and the storing water to
irrigate one million acres, the work to
cost $25,OOO.OOO.
Incidentally, the creation Of tho res.
ervoir will entail the flooding Of many
valuable farms and Of the site Of The
flourishing town of Weldona, while
the Union Pacific railway will be COM
PEELED to take up thirty miles of track
and lay it on new roadbed.
With all surveys completed and ap-
proved. not one land owner In the pro.
posed irrigation district. 1t Is said. OBJ
jected to its formation and with COM
pany ready to invest $25,OOO,OOO in the
enterprise. articles Of incorporation OF
the Narrows reservoir will be filed
soon.
Among those pushing the most STU
pendous irrigation project ever con-
templated for Colorado. by whlcn
water is to be put on 100000 acres
within three years In Weld, Morgan.
and Phillips counties. are c. r. Neil.

Southard, c. L. Southard, d. B. and
Jesse Wyatt Of Greeley, James Hurley.
p. w. Putnam and Thomas Grace OF
Fort Morgan and capitalists Of Den
yer and Omaha.
One dam across the Platte river at
the point known as the Narrows will
be 112 feet high and 1000 feet long
and built OF solid concrete. AS the
bed OF the river at this point Is solid
rock, there will be no danger Of wash.
The site for the dam is bought and
paid for and conservative lrrigati0nists
say enough water goes to waste an.
nually in the Flatte at this point To
fill the enormous reservoir planned
each year.
The slxty.five miles OF ditch, to be
sixty feet wide and fifteen feet deep.
with a carrying capacity Of 5000 feet
second. will be lined with cement
Its entire distance, as 1t passes through
a sandy country, which otherwise
would absorb the ditch water.
The enterprise will necessitate re-
building thirty miles Of Union Pacific
tracks. The company must buy valu-
able farms in the vicinity Of Orchard
and Weldona and part OF Weldona.
which will become part Of the bed Of
the big reservoir. 1t is said water
can be put on the land for SIS an
acre.
