''Selah Hobbie. First Assistant Postmas-
ter General, Post ONCE Department,

Il took the liberty some time since OF
addressing the home secretary at WASH
ington on tho subject Of inquiry into
proposal which I then made: For the
transmission Of the mails at the rate OF
from $50 to 200 miles an hour in all d.
rections and at all seasons with certainty,
the mode Of doing so land which Is based
upon true scientific principles) l am will
ing to lay before any civil engineer that
same. and also fully prepared to show
that it can be done. And l do not say
SO. nor would l take the liberty of tres
passing upon you only from my certainty
Of the success of the project II inquired
into. l have seen 1t tried and proved. l
have no means of showing how 1t works,
although q model would cost but trifle.
If you are pleased to notice this commu-
nication, and wish that should do SO, I
will on receipt of your directions give
full details, when you will be able to
Judge of the practicability OF the simple
means which l propose to do what l
have named.
'.It is the misfortune Of men ESPECIALLY
II they be not able of themselves to carry
out any Improvement they propose) sit
uated as am now. to be thought insane
of all good. I am not so. AS an investi-
CATION into what I write of will, trust,

EarIy.Day Propositions ia
Postmaster General.
GREAT SPEED GUARANTEED
Mobile Man Asks Government for
Two thousand Dollars.
ABLE TO FLY LIKE A BIRD"
Another Aspiring Genius Promises
to Reduce Time Between Cincin-
natl and New York.

Propositions were made to the Post
ONCE Department to transport the mails
with flying machines as far back as
1S45 when Cave johnson Of Tennessee
was serving as Postmaster General.
Several interesting old letters on the
subject were found a few days ago in
the files Of the department.
The letters read as follows:
Mobile, Oct q, 1S45
Hon. Cave johnson.
Sir: I see in the Register and journal
of this city an advertisement for pro-
posals for transporting the mails Of the
United States to and from all foreign
ports. and particularly on seven speci-
fed routes embracing some of the most
important commercial marts in the world.
I also learn from the same source that ii
is necessary for those making PROPOSE
tions to transport the mails as above
will be carried, etc.
Now, without combining myself to a
strict compliance with the various requi-
sitions set forth in the said advertise
ment, and with the utmost respect Tor
and due Difference to yourself and the
Post ONCE Department-and L Will add
the present administration, the President
oughgoing democrat)-I make the follow
ing proposition touching the transporta-
ton of express mails within and out OF
the United States, viz:
Construction Fund, So 1000.
IF the Post Office Department will fur
nish me with two thousand dollars, to
be expended under the supervision of its
own agent in constructing machine
upon a plan which l have fully matured
for trayersing the air like a bird, then
will obligate myself to transport express
mails to and from all the places men,
toned in said advertisement at the speed
Of fifty miles per hour for one year from
the first day of May. 1876. for an amount
construct any one of the largest-sized
vessels which are contemplated as
suitable for the service mentioned in
said advertisement.
This may appear to you a strange and
visionary proposition, but 1 trust that
it will not be treated lightly and disre-
garded on that account. We live in a
wonderful era. So great an accomplish
ment or achievement is worthy of a lit
tie effort What If Holt and others have
squandered thousands of the people s
money. it does not follow that ali in
ventors are fools and knaves. We ought
to trust a little sometimes to the unob-
trusive and humble. The diamond is
often found in the molehill as well as in
the mighty river and lofty mountain. l
can do al l propose.

ted to any scientific man that you may be
pleased to appoint to investigate it. 1t
could be laid before you in q working
model, and were l not quite conscious of
it's practicability l would not intrude upon
you.
In the case of the introduction of the
telegraph to public use the government
were pleased to inquire into and sane
ton. Now what I propose would be a
thousandfold more of public benefit. and
all ask is inquiry into it by one capable
of Investigating and reporting on the i'm
provement l propose.
THE following list will show that, il
adopted, what / propose land of the COM
plete success of which / have not the
slightest doubD would be the greatest
public benefit ever bestowed on this great

One OF the difficulties in logging
IS the formation of the jam, collec-
ton of logs at some narrow place in
a turbulent stream. Other logs
floating down the river pile them
selves up at the obstructed point.
and it requires great labor, at
tended by actual peril, to remove
the logs from their position. Some
times dynamite has to be used to
blow up the pack, and of course
much lumber is destroyed in the
explosion. Now whenever a lam
begins to form one of the men who
patrol the river bank gives notice
by telephone to the men up the
river to stop the further flow Of
logs at calm places, called trips"
and it is an easy matter to break a
small jam by sulnmoning men from
points farther down stream.
The human side of life is also
made warmer and more vivid by
this means of communica ton in
the wilderness. A lumberman at
a place in Washington was crippled
for three years by an accident in
IiiC IOlSSt, dIlu dul lllS lllS SolI-
valescence he conducted a logging
business of half a million dollars a
year from his sickroom by use of
the telephone.
A party one day coming down
the west branch of the Penobscot,
in the wilds of Maine, was sur
prised at seeing the guides turn
their canoes to the bank, and in
quirv was made as to why this
was done.
I'VE are going to order your
supper" was the reply.
One of the men then opened
small box of a lunberman' tele
phone at the side of a tree and
spoke to camp miles away. say
ing that the party would arrive at
night, and giving directions for
supper. Ten hours later the weary
tourists arrived at the spot where
their welcome and their supper
were ready.
