Trip Proved Merit.

The chronicle of the Wellman eXpe-
dition is now ancient history. and yet
1t is the sort of ancient history that
never grows old. Early Saturday
morning, Oct Is. it was decided that
the weather was right and that the
long awaited hour to make the start
had arrived. There was scarcely
breath OF air stirring. and heavy fog
bung over sea and shore. Slowly the
great car was rolled out Of the hangar
and pointed into the wind.
First the long and snake-like equili-
brator, which some one irreverently
called the balloons TAIL" was taken
to the waters edge and cast in, three
gasoline tanks being punctured in the
process, and following this came the
great balloon itself. If there be celes-
tial intelligences that overlook the
world 1t was a strange sight which
then greeted their vision

enough, for puss thereafter remained
on board to the end of the voyage.
The skipper who rescued the crew

how all the world was hanging breath

last man aboard. After sll his months
of work he must have one last look at
his creation. Running back a hundred
yards through the wet grass, he turn
ed and gazed over the lines Of the
craft with a critical yet loving eye,
much as q painter might view his fin
| ished picture or q lover his sweet
heart. 1t was well he did, for 1t
would be his last chance to see the

in which field he rapidly made a na-
tional reputation. He gained an espe-
cial reputation as a political fore
caster. \ man who can be an accu-
rate political prophet has no mean

Wellman's work as an explorer be-
gan in 1892. when he located the exact
spot where Christopher Columbus first
set foot on American soil and erected
a monument to commemorate 1t. Two
years later he began arctic exploration
and went to 81 degrees north. Five
years later he explored Franz Josef
Land and went to 50 degrees. On this
expedition he narrowly escaped death
and suffered an injury that left him
lame for life
It was not until 1906 that Welman

INCORPORATE Bachelors Club.

Wash, Of which Ralph Hunt is pre-
sident, is preparing for the incorpor-
alton of a national organization of
bachelors. The official title will be
the Brotherhood Of Bachelors with
headquarters at Dayton and clubs in
several cities and towns throughout
the United States and Canada. The
club will be organized on the lines
of fraternal societies, with regular
assessments to support and develop
the order in it's initiatory and de-
gree work, annual meeting, banquets
and other embellishments of secret
orders. Mr.. Hunt has letters from
more than 1000 bachelors in vari-
Gus parts of the United States and
Canada urging the organization or
a national club, also between 500 and
900 letters from young women in
eastern, middlewestern and southern
states requesting to be placed IN
communication with eligible western
men. He says it is likely that the
organization meeting will take place
at Dayton early the coming summer,
when the project will be launched.

N SIGHT
BOTH SIDES AGREE TO COMPRO-
MISE ON DEMAND OF UNITED
STATES COMMISSIONER NELL
WILL USE ERDMAN ACT.

Chicago, March 23.-All questions
in dispute between the $4,000 firemen
on western railroads and the railroad
managers will be amicably settled,
according to an arrangement reached
today through the aid of United
States Commissioner of Labor Nei1l.
1t was agreed by w. S. Carter,
president of the Brotherhood of Fire
men and Engineers, and his commit
tee, representing the men, and the
general managers committee, repre-
senting the railroads, At in number
involved, to settle the controversy in
the following manner:
The question of seniority or the
promotion of oldtime firemen over
new men, and the question Of repre-
sentation by the union when firemen
have been promoted to enginemen,
are to be compromised. The de-
mand of the men for an increase of
wages of 121a per cent is then to be
submitted to arbitration under the
Erdman act.
In previous negotiations the road
agreed to arbitration of the wage
question, but declined to arbitrate
the other two points of the contro-
versy on the ground that they are
points of discipline. 1t was agreed
that both sides agree to compro-
mise through the insistence Of Com
missioner Neill that something had
to be done quickly. Mr.. Neill in
formed each side that mediation had
been in progress since last Thursday,
and that apparently no progress had
been made. He declared that unless
action was taken within "a hours he
would return to Washington. The
decision to compromise followed
quickly.
The general managers tonight is
sued the following statement: 1.-THE
railroads have no statement to make
other than a settlement of the whole
matter probably will be made tomor-
row, which will be satisfactory to
both Sides
Mr.. Carter said he had no COM
ment to make. The board of arbitra
ton, which will hear the wage dis
pute, will, under the Erdman act, be
composed of one member appointed
by the f1remen, one appointed by the
railroads and one selected by the
chairman of the interstate commerce
commission"

POWER SPRAYERS
SCARCE
SPRAYING SEASON is HERE
PEACHES SHOULD BE SPRAY
ED THIS WEEK IF WEATHER
HOLDS WARM.

There has been an unprecedented
demand for power sprayers this
year, as the farmers are all begin
ming to realize that they cannot take
chances about renting sprayers to
do their work when there is always
a possibility of a short spraying sea-
son.
At the present time there is not
a power sprayer for sale in any of
the stores, although all the dealers
state they have some on the way In
the meantime the spraying season is
already at hand The apple buds
are ready for the first spraying, and
the peach buds will be ready in a
few days.
Professor Tumble stated to the
World that if the weather continued
warm the peaches in the warmer
places in the valley would be ready
about the 26th. On the north slopes
and in certain colder parts the sea
son will be a little later. Mr.. Trum-
BILE thinks that there is greater
probability that the growers will
spray too soon rather than too late.
The "sawdust' should first be show
ing on the mounds. If the worm has
not thrown out the sawdust he is
protected so thoroughly from the
spray that the work is only wasted.
Inspector Darlington thinks that
the present conditions are ideal.
There has been no wind and the
sprayers can work to far more ad-
vantage for that reason.
There are plenty of hand spray
ers in the stores but they do not rem
der the efficient results that the
power machines do, and of course
are much slower Of course, there
are many power sprayers in the
country and it is not probable that
many trees will go unsprayed. The
only difficulty is that the first
spraying season is going to be brief
and the available machines may not
! be able to cover all the trees. Mr..
| Darlington thinks that the most i'm
portant matter at present is the
spraying of the trees within the city
| limits.
