irrigation would be carried, though
even in those days the value OF water
on the land was seen. Just now there
are two irrigation projects on foot
which will redeem much land that has
heretofore been considered too re

ever have water brought to IT. One
of these is that which will Irrigate

days the drill has been going through

The gas came spasmodically, and at
one time produced flame sixteen
feet high. The drill was down only
800 feet when the first showing of oil
came. but at 500 feet it was in the
shale
The drillers believe that these ind-
cations. so near the surface. means a
good flow at 1900 to 1000 feet.

The America II. was last reported
passing over Maple City, Michigan,
October 18th. Skygazers were able to
read the name of the balloon; but
after this all trace of her was lost.
Those who took the gloomier view OF
the outcome were inclined to think,
as the days passed, that the men had
perished from cold and hunger. The
outlook was made darker by the sug-
gestion OF drowning. a fate thought
not unlikely by the finding of bal

But the basket was not the America s,
as was shown by later developments.
The new record, established by
Hawley and Post, and unofficially es-
timated at 1850 miles, exceeds all
