.SILHOUETTES OF
WESTERN CANADA

The man from Iowa began to talk
land before the train was we'll out OF
the c. N. R. depot in Winnipeg. The
talk began in rather wide circles. The
rush to the land, the bumper crop, the
system of summer following pursued
In the semi-arid districts, were all
discussed, and then, with sort Of
apologize smile, the Iowa man said:
I'm a bit interested in this country
myself. Some Of the men down home
got a few sections up here along this
line, and I'm going to have a look at
them. Never been up in Canada be.
fore cit is curious how these mid.
western Americans pronounce the
name of the Dominion as if it was
'"Can'dy')-"but if it looks good we
will be up to stay next fall"
"You see, it's like this" said the
man from Iowa-quite manifestly con.
tinuing an argument that had been 60
ing on in his mind for some time.
Back in our State land has become
dear. Anybody wanting to sell can
get $40 or $50 an acre for it, and
every farm that's offered is snapped
tip. In Saskatchewan we have just as
good land that cost us $11 and $12, so
that man can take up five or six
times as much there as in Iowa on the
same investment of money.
at isn't the money, though, that
brings most of us up from Iowa. I'm
not sure that money would be enough.
The invasion is family affair. We
have no chance of keeping our sons
around us back home. They have
to leave the farm and go into the big
cities of the neighboring States to get
work. To keep them on the farm and
in touch with us, we come up here
and make little colonies with the chill
dren around us, on homesteads or
bought land. This makes 1t easier for
the farmers back there in Iowa to get
land for the stay-at-homes. The fam
lilies that come to Canada are kept
together and the families that buy
the farms they leave are kept to-

portable wireless set which has recently been de-
signed by signal corps experts and the first ex-
ample of which has lately been completed at the
signal corps shops in Washington under the direc-
ton of Electrical Assistant H. B. De Groot.
Not only does this compact little wireless
equipment conform to the requisite Of minimum
weight but it affords solution of the chief prob
lem presented in this field-namely. the pro-
vision of safeguards against spark from the tel
egraphic apparatus gniting the explosive gas
which through accident or design might escape
from the bag of the balloon. There is consider
able difference Of opinion among electricians as
to what danger Of explosion would exist under
normal conditions Some experts contend that.
considering the air currents created by a balloon
in motion there would be practically no danger,
but the United States army aerOnauts, cognizant
Of the tragic consequences that would assuredly
follow any such explosion at high altitude, have
naturally been loath to take any chance and have
had precautionary measures taken in the con-
struction of the apparatus designed for their
detrimental work.
This wonderful new aerial wireless set, which
weighs all told, only about 70 pounds, occupies or
rests upon wooden frame Of special design
which measures 80 inches in length, II inches in
width and Is inches in height. The electrical
energy for this cloud-clmbing telegraph station
is supplied from an ordinary eight-volt sparkling
battery, such as Is used in automobiles. This

Where Is Bessie Hartmann

ROsanna and Bessie Hartman lived
with their mother at Chapman, Nebr.,
IN 1901, the year that their father was
killed by falling tree at Anada, Mo.
Their mother, an invalid, being unable
to care for them, the girls were sent
to Omaha to school, being housed and
.mothered by Mrs. Smith.
Finally, in 1908, Bessie, the younger
of the two, was taken in charge by the
Nebraska Children's Home society,
who refused to tell her married sister,
Rosanna, where she is. Bessie be

The army's first experiments with wireless
telegraphy via aerial craft were made with an
ordinary spherical balloon, but the new wireless
set was designed primarily for use with the war
departments lately acquired dirigible No. and
when in service the wooden platform carrying
the electrical apparatus rests across the keel or
skeleton framework of the balloon, being sup
ported upon two horizontal rods of the keel. The
dirigible which is destined to serve as Uncle
Sans first portable aerial wireless station Is 40
feet in length and the car keel which carries
the wireless apparatus Is made OF spruce.
While the electrical division of the United
States signal corps has been busy with plans for
wireless work via free balloons that would prove
Of immense value in time of war, other branches
of the federal government have been looking into
the possibilities of mid-atr telegraph stations de-
signed to serve the pursuits OF peace. CHIEF
Willis Moore and his associates OF the United
States weather bureau have long taken an espe-
cially keen interest In this subject and interest
ing experiments covering high-air work with both
balloons and kites have been In progress for some
time past at Mount Weather-that Virginia
mountain peak where the weather bureau has
assembled such marvellous equipment for the ex
poraion of the upper air. Prof. Moores primary
interest in wireless telegraphy Is as means OF
transmitting storm warnings and weather fore
casts, particularly the interchange between ships
and shore stations.
1t may surprise many persons to learn that
wireless telegraphy via kites preceded by many
years wireless telegraphy as we know 1t to-day.

Prof. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor OF the
telephone, who has been engrossed for several
years past in experiments with kites formed from
tetrahedral cells and who has latterly designed
a manfting kite that has made some wonderful
performances, has included wireless telegraphy as
one branch of his kite Investigations. For this
Geographic work he has employed kite OF CON-
paratively modest size, preceded by small pilot
kite and these have usually been flown at a height
Of about 1000 feet The kites carry aloft tele-
graphic equipment in the form of ordinary green
electric-light cord, to the upper end or receiving
terminal of which Is attached 400 feet of antennae

the reel of piano wire-the point from which the
kite Is sent up
Dr. Bell has had the cooperation in these ex-
periments of Mr. De Forest inventor of the wire
less teegraphy system which bears his name, as
we'll the aid of other wireless telegraphy experts
The original kite messages via the artificial birds
sent aloft by DR.. Bell were transmitted distance

until the transmission attained hundreds of miles

NEW RAILROAD TIE
A UTAH INVENTION

Another Utah invention. which
gives promise OF effectinG revolu-
tion In the use of railroad ties. is
about to be exploited In the east.
1t is the universal metallic railroad
tie, The tie Is constructed practical
ly OF steel, and does away with the
old wooden ties heretofore used en-
tirely by the great majority Of the the
railroads of the world. The univer'
sal tic was invented by Utah men
and has been recently patented. 1t
has stood the test of closest scrutiny
by experienced railroad engineers.
and has been pronounced as near per
feclion as 1t Is possible TO make a
tie, from the standpolnts OF utility
and durability.
For the purpose of arranging for
the manufacture of the tie and TO eX-
plot Its use generally throughout the
country. a company has been incor-
porated under the laws OF Utah. and
within few days b. S. .Rupp and
Jesse w. Johnson, representing the
company, Will leave for the east
These gentlemen expect to visit
New York, Washington, Pittsburg
and other leading conters, and ar
rangements will be made to manufac-
ture the tie. probably at Pltteburg,
The invention has been so favorably
considered by leading men of this
state and by prominent engineers and
railroad men all over the country
that the company is assured that the
tic can be placed with the leading
railroads of the United States. The
question OF insulation has been thor
oughly solved. and now the tie has
been placed In such 4 condition that
block signal connections can be
worked with perfect success on the
now tie.
1t has been estimated by compe.
tent engineers that the metallic tie
will last from five to ten times longer
than the best treated wooden tie now
in use. and as its cost is only trifle
more than the wooden article. II is
figured that the adoption Of the met.
allie tie by railroads Will effect saw
ing of many times the cost of the tie
in use at present
A number OF the leading men OF
the state are interested in the new
invention, and from assurances which
have been received from practical
railroad men who have examined the
tie, the success Of the project is fully
assured.

holders, which was held In Jersey City
on Jan. u. was thrown opon TO the
public. and the reporters were fur
nished with copies OF the detailed
reports read at the meeting. This
Is in strong contrast 10 the course
which has prevailed for many years
past.
The report discusses with much
frankness all the recent difficulties
through which the company has
passed and tho Indictment of some of
Its employees for underweighlng, and
says:
Your board has endeayored in
every way to facilitate the inve5tiga-
lions OF the government Without
the formality Of a subpoena. the Of
fcers OF this company, with the
knowledge and approval OF the board,
have put In the possession Of the
special counsel tor the government,
all books. documents, letters and min
utes of whatever kind. that such spec
ial counsel desired, and have given
them the freeSt and fullest access
TO the offices OF your company ano
the freest and fullest opportunity 10
interrogate any and oil employees
mo attempt whatever has been
made TO shield anyone. and your
board has no reason TO bolievc and
does not believe that any executive
officer or director OF this company
had any knowledge of OF participation
In this fraudulent underwelghing."
The report also SAYS. AT a
time when the cost of nearly all the
necessities OF life Is persistently in
creaslng 1t is with much satisfaction
that the board calls attention TO the
price OF granulated sugar. which haa
remained very nearly stationary dur
ing the past ten years, the average
price for granulated sugar for the
five years from 1900 10 1904 in New
York having boon S4,S47 per hun
dred. and for the five years. 1905 TO
1909. S4,S2S."
The report calls attention to the
| fact that Its number or stockholders
! is 1S,4S4, and that far from the stock
| being In the hands OF few people
the average holding of stock by any
one individual is less than 90 shares
Another point made is that the com,
