WELLMAN PLANS TO SAIL OVER
ATLANTIC.
Dirigible Balloon America Built for
North Polar Trip, to Make Start
From New York This Fall.

Walter Wellman and Melvin Vani-
man will attempt this coming fall to
cross the Atlantic ocean in the dirigi-
Bile balloon America, which was built
for the Wellman polar expedition
and has twice been tested in voyages
over the Attic ocean north of Spitz-
bergen
The attempt will be made solely on
the responsibility of the aeronauts,
but the New York Times. the Chica-
go Record-Herald and the London
Daily Telegram have arranged to buy
the news of the expedition, which will
be transmitted by wireless from the
airship.
The America will be housed at
Atlantic City, n. j., during its pre-
liminary trial. A shed to shelter it
has already been contracted for, and
hydrogen gas apparatus to initiate its
gas bags has been shipped from
Paris. This shelter, Or hanger, as it
is technically known, will be $50 feet
long, so feet wide and so feet high.
The America will carry a crew of
six men, including the wireless oper-
ator, and 1000 gallons of gasoline in
a steel tank. Equipped for days run
she could carry seventy-fve passen-
gers in addition to her full crew. In
size she ranks second only to the
latest Zeppelin airship Two engines
Will drive her, one of 1880 horse
power for ordinary duty, and one of
800 horse power for emergency SER
vice, when high speed is needed. A
little u horse power motor takes the
place of donkey engine aboard ship
for small Offices
The quantity of fuel carried gives
the airship greater radius of action
than the distance from New York to
Europe and a study of prevailing
winds. during the season at which it
IS proposed to make the passage
shows that they lie parallel to the
eastbound course laid down by At
lantic liners
Even if the net effect of the winds
should prove unfavorable, it is esti-
mated by the aeronauts that the fuel
would hold out for the full distance.
Wellman and Vaniman are by no
means sure that their attempt will
! be successful, but they think the
chances are good enough to warrant
at least trial. They plan to start
late in August or early in September

TO ENCOURAGE TREE PLANTING.
The Thirty-First General Assembly
Passed a Law Making Handsome
Concessions in Assessments.

A Reporter reader has asked us
to give the law in regard to exemp-
ton from taxation by land owners
who set out either forest or fruit
trees, as many persons are not aware
that the Iowa legislature has made
provisions to encourage the planting
OF trees in Iowa.
The Iowa State Horticultural So
ing the passage of the bills, and is
now engaged in the laudable work of
making the people of the state ac-
quainted with the new law and it's
provisions. The law grants import
ant relief from taxation to land own
ers who plant fruit or forest trees.
The society has issued a circular,
which translates the law into every
day English as follows:
After the experience of three
years with the practical operation of
the forest and fruit tree reservation
act, few suggestions may be help
full to owners of land who may want
to secure the exemption from taxa
ton it affords, and to assessors
whose duty it is to list the reserva-
lions when he is satisfied that they
come within the provisions of the
statute.
THE time for land owner to Sc
cure forest or fruit tree reservation
is when the assessor is listing his
property for taxation. The exemption
does not adhere to the land, but is a
personal privilege or right secured
by complying with the law, and is
subject to inquiry at each annual as
sessment. The reservation may be
increased by purchase or the plant
ing of more land to trees or dimin-
ishing by cutting off the trees, or
sale of the land-or it may be for
felted by not complying with the pro-
visions of the statute prohibiting live
stock from trespassing on it. When
no change is made a forest reserva-
ton continues during ownership of
ton until it expires by the statutory
limit of eight years after the trees
are planted. A forest reservation can
not be secured on less than two acres
in area, but it may contain as many
more acres of forest land as the party
owns. A fruit tree reservation cannot
be less than one acre nor more than
five acres. Each reservation is dis
tinct from the other, and part of
one cannot be added to the other to
make the number of acres required
by the statute. Each tract of land
must be as large as the minimum
fixed by the statute before it can be
received as a reservation.

CLIFTON HAS LOST

Klepfer Returns to School.
Tex. Merritt May Go to

State college, where the new term

Clifton. is returning to college with

This leaves Clifton with another seri-
Gus gap in her lineup and the cry OF
breakers ahead" is again heard from
the fans. The loss of Klepfer will be
a bad one for the local bunch. All
over the circuit he has been conceded
to be the equal of any HEAVIER in the
league and is undoubtedly the best
who ever wore a Clifton uniform. Since
joining Clifton he has won four, lost
four and had one tt game. Three of
the games lost We're through faulty
support and in only three games has
he had the assistance of a regular
catcher. In the nine games he worked
his opponents avera ged but five hits a
game. These include four extra inning
games Klepfer holds the seasons
strikeout record. tanning 81 men in
the II inning game won by Morenci

undoubtedly the most severe blow OF
the season to Clifton. the club will
play out its schedule. Newell will prob
ably be returned to the infeld to re-
place Blythe Hirshman's thumb is in
good shape again and he will cover the
initial station. Riley going to the out
field. While the pitching staff is
weakened there is still a good string
of men available. The fans are count
To-
replace Klepfer. Bull has not pitched
any this season. but his recent exhibit
ton against the Clifton Grays, is con-
vincing that he is still able to deliver
the goods McIIveeD. Scanlan and Alb
bolt compose the balance Of the pitch
ing staff.
TEX" Merritt has made a decided
hit with the local fans. II he can be
retained he will be a valuable addition
to the club and ought to steady down
the pitchers who have been a little
off color Tex had a wire Sunday from
the Indianapolis American association
club to report
Ben Fehrman. former Cactus league
HEAVIER. made his initial appearance as
an umpire in Morenci. Ben had his
hands full as the Is inning struggle
was replete with close plays and a
number of disputes.

of clever players.
Clifton goes to Douglas this week
for her first clash with the league
leaders. While minus the services OF
her star pitcher, it is understood that
Douglas is similarly weakened by the
loss of two of her best men, so the
local fans are looking for at least an
even break.
Cananea plays IN Morenci this week
and there is bare possibility that
one of the games may be pulled on

TEXAS LEAGUE GOSSIP.
(By Horace HI. SteltOn.)

Fort Worth announces the sale OF
Burke TO Indianapolis, of the Amcri-
can association. Toledo is said TO bt
after Green.
The drafting season opened Satur-
day and several Texas clubs may lose
men through the enforced departure
route. AS sales have been going on
/ merrily, however, little really desirable
material is left on the circuit.
Houston is now coming strong. Hill
men look like a repeater for the pen
nant.
Adam Rankin Johnson celebrated
what may be mis- last appearance in a
Dallas uniform by failing TO make
good as an iron man. He eSsaye0 to
pitch both games of a double header,
but failed to make good He goes TO
the St. Louis, Browns.
Here is the all-Texas star team as
picked by Wilson Mathews. umpire,
baseball critic and who may be presi-
dent of the Texas league next year:
Pitchers, Howell. Tesreau, Dale, Hin
rickson. Mitchell and Chellette; catch
ers, Onslow and Green; first base.
Hohnhurst: second base, Dugey; third
base, Mcdonald: shortstop. Hill; out
fieIders, MowrS Stinson and Coyle;
utility, Moore. In many respects this
selection is admirable, but Hub Nor

that Northen recently got the best of
his jumps in fistic encounter. That
might account for his feelings in the
matter

his hat off to Dale Gear, of the Shreve-
port team. The squirt now being made

There are all sorts of rumors of nego-
tiations pending for his purchase, but
no definite announcements have been
made in the matter.
In the Southwest Texas league in
the playoff series, Brownsville won the
championship from Victoria The lat
ter team won the first series and the
former the second. Five games were
played. 1t took the last one to decide.
Young Taft, a pitcher from Austin,
was really responsible for the pen
nant. His fine work defeated Victoria
when the latter had its star man in
the box.
Kaphan, the Galveston player who
broke his leg several months ago, has
sufficiently recovered to be able to
umpire. He is expected to take his
regular place during the latter games
of the season.
Fred Order. an outfelder, has been
signed by Galveston. He has been
playing Independent ball with Mar
shall. Order is about six feet tall and
weighs $50 pounds He bats both right
and left handed. In the Longview
Marshal series this year he batted
40.
Disguised with umpire batting in the
Texas league, umpire Settley has
thrown up the indicator. He says,
