FLYING MACHINE A
feature OF FAIR
CLARK, THE AVIATOR, WILL BE
IN CITY AND DEMONSTRATES
MULTIPLANE.
VIII Make Flight Next Week II the
Weather Permits.

1t is believed that the majority of
the vast crowd that is sure to visit
Coenr d'Alene next week at the spring
street fair will avail themselves Of
the opportunity of seeing the mon
ster multiplane which was invented
and manufactured in Spokane by w.
r. Clark, who will be in the city TO
make the fight each day, weather
permitting.
Machine Is Something New.
In appearance the big machine is
altogether unlike the conventional BIZ
plane of Curtiss and the Wright
brothers, and looks much more sub
stantial. The framework is made up
OF angle steel, braced and rebraced
with piano wire, and covered with
balloon silk That does not mean
that it is much weightier than the
wooden Wright machine, which turns
the scales at 200 pounds, for Mr,
Clark says that, with its two 10
horsepower engines, his multiplane
win weigh just $500 pounds.
six propellers, placed in pairs
above, behind and at the side of the
operator, win drive the machine. With
its power equipment, the machine is
intended to rise directly of the
ground, and no large open space to
go up in will be necessary.
Is Full Of Confidence.
The aviator personally is of slight
physique, but gives the impression
OF being an intensely active and wiry
sort of person. He has none of the
Overlooking enthusiasm of the ordi-
nary genius" in exhibiting his ma
chine, but on the contrary is evil
IDENTIFY so thoroughly convinced of
the practicability of his own idea that
he does not care what other people
think. He has all the figures and re-
suits of other experiments in flying
at his fingers ends, and can tell OF
hand of all the attempts at flight
from Sir Hiram Maxim and Professor
Langley down to the Wrights and
Glen Curtiss. He has given his own
confidence to the men around him
and they are as fully confident thai
he viii fly as he is himself.

THE COMMENCEMENT

Judge Woolley delivered q very fine
address to the graduating class of six, en-.
titled 'The Culture OF q Democracy"
The TRANSCRIPT would have liked to give
the Judges oration something like an
adequate notice but from where its re-
porter stood, he could only now and then
catch O word, thanks to the endless noisy
tramp up aud down the wooden stairs ot
thoughtless boys and young men. We
are sure this was also an annoyance TO
the speaker to whom through the opened
doors che sounds plainly came.
The writer, however, had the pleasure
of seeing more of the judge as the guest
of Mr.. and Mrs. Burris and from this
slight knowledge formed high opinion
of his ability and Judicial fitness. The
writer who has had much to do with
many judges in his time ventures the pre-
diction that this junior on the woolsack-
as we are told-Will prove valuable and
honorable accession to the Delaware ju-
dietary. He is in private life q very
agreeable accomplished gentleman and a
fine raconteur. ~
Ths chorus singing by the various
groups of ladies varying in number from
nine 70 iE, SiE nag exceptionally fine and re.
ceived the merited applause of the aud
ience. The high success of this feature OF
the evenings entertainment was largely
due 60 the careful training given them by
Miss Hutchin who acted as conductor and
and the skilIful piano playing of Miss
Lola Ingram. The stage was handsomely
trimmed with flowers.

LIGHT AND WATER QUESTION
Why Not Try a Canvass of the
Whole Town

The proyerbial test for the hasty pud-
ding ever was the eating thereof. So will
it be in the matter of the light and water
increased charges. It may bring more
revenue. and The TRANeCRIPT sincerely
trusts il will but fears it will prove the
reyerse-if, as is threatened by number
Of persons, there be any considerable de-
creased consumption OF either water or
light or both.
We believe that the question has never
been fully placed before many citizens as
it might have been and indeed yet may be.
We would suggest that q carefully Sc
lected number of canvassers, each repre-
senting different class or group OF citi.
zens, make personal appeal to his own
friends and associates, setting forth the
desirabiIity of having town water-its ad-
vantages for fire protection and cheaper
insurance and the peril, the ever increas.
ing peril, from contaminated wells. SO,
too, setting out the advantages of electric
lights, at least to those who can afford q
convenient light that is cool in summer
time.
It is possible that by thus getting new
users Of light and water, the revenues
may be sufficiently increased to avoid the
necessity of raising the rates.
OF course, this cannot be definitely
known in advance. But we think the
plan at least worth a trial. One thing
seems certain, so far as water is concerned,
there should be one of two things done in
our toWn-either close up all drinking
wells or all sink wells. The danger OF
typhoid and other disease from polluted
we'll water, is q grave one. II all persons
in town we're taxed for water, we believe
the ckargs per individual would be so
small that no one would care to return to
the pump even if at liberty to do so-iD-
deed the cost would probably then not
much, If any, exceed the annual expense
of the pump made up Of first cost, repairs,
etc., not to speak OF decreased work to
wives and others in the homes.
This increase in light and water both
will prove sore burden to some OF our
people, not to speak of others who, as we
have said, may refrain from further use
of either.
We are told by a gentleman who gave
no names, but assured us it was TACT
that one lady, whose sole self-support is
derived from the rent of some property,
when speaking of the increase actually
shed tears.
One thing is very certain the Light and
Water Commission cannot afford to bring
on crisis in its affairs; for With the plant
running 5000 90 behind yearly, on it's fixed
charges. plus say 10 per cent. depreciation
of its machinery, etc., from wear and tear,
it would not take long for the Commission
to become bankrupt and the tu~n minus
both water and light.
