HIGH WAGES.

Aviation has its dangers, but 1t
also has its rewards. Much comment
has been made on the large salaries
which are paid to the avlators who are
travelling over the country, giving ex-
hibitions in parks to people who pay
to see and people who do not pay TO
see, Daring In the attitudes Of the air
means ducats, yea. thousands of them.
Take Charles X. Hamilton, who was
lately here, as an example. He will
get in one year four times the salary
of President Taft His monthly salary
viii equal the yearly stipend OF
United States Senator. His pay en-
velope at the end of each thirty days
has in 1t Just $4,000. A number of
extras are thrown in, and ii Is csti-
mated that his annual salary will
amount to the neat little sum OF $780,
900. John b. Moisant will draw down a
compensation of 100000 a year, with
a large slice OF the profits.
This is not all. Each aviator has
all items of his travelling expenses
paid They stay at the very best
hotels. They have two men to do
all the work of looking after the flying
machines and keeping everything In
hrst-rate order
Whether there Is an aviator's union
we do not know, but 1t looks as IL one
virtually existed. There are not so
many aviators after all, when you
come to think about 1T. They had to
spend anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000
learning how to ny. They take great
risks and, OF course. the extra
hazardous nature OF their profession
entities them to large rewards. They
probably pay terribly high premiums
on their insurance policies, if they can
set Insurance at all. They are in 1t
for the money they are not following
art for arts sake.

-Four millionaire cattlemen--W. CT

Jamison and Aquila Trlplett--who
Were convicted IN the Federal Court
at Omaha, Nebraska. of fencing Cow
eminent lands, We're sentenced to one
year in the county Jail and have been
lodged in the Adams County Jail at
Hastings to serve out their sentence.
We are told that they are not to be
treated like ordinary prisoners, that
they have fitted up their quarters In
the jail with expensive furniture, car
pets and hangings, have purchased a
well selected library, subscribed to a
number of daily papers and many OF
the leading magazines, hung their
windows with expensive lace curtains
and employed a Japanese chef to do
their cooking. This sort of thing
brings the law into contempt 1t proves
to the mind of every rcvolutionst in
the country that there is an In
equality in the administration of the
law which should not be possible in a
country which boasts that every man
is equal before the law.

encc.
Water works were bought for sso1,-

showing confidence In the new admin
istratlon. The purehase was approved
In 1906 by vote OF three to one, while
the proposition had been rejected in
1905
q comparison of the first five months
of operation of the water System with
the last FIVE months OF the control by
a private corporation showed that
there was decreased cost In salaries
alone OF s2,3o7.ss, despite the fact that
the salaries of all employees in the
water plant were materially Increased
During the same period the water sys-
tenn showed a gain in earnings Of s1o,-
$685. without increasing the cost to
the consumer
