WELlMAN
TELLS Of
AIR TRIP

Associated Press.
New York, Oct. l9.-Walter Well
man and the members of his crew on
the ill-fated trans-oceanic dirigible
balloon, America, who were rescued
from impending danger at sea $50
miles east of Cape Hatteras yesterday,
believe that the voyage in an airship
across the Atlantic may yet be ac-
complished.
Wellman and his party are now on
board the steamship Trent, the time
ly arrival of which proved the saliva
tion of the adventures.
A heavy fog held back the Trent
this morning, and at 8 am. she was
about 80 miles east of Sandy Hook,
proceeding slowly. She will dock
some time this afternoon.
While the object of Wellman's bal
Icon trip was not accomplished, he
succeeded in creating new world j
record for dirigible balloons, being
~ hours in the air, and covering. ac-
cording to Wellman, a thousand
miles over rough seas.
Wellman says that, after working
well to sea on Sunday, the dirigible
was caught in a 37-mile northwest
blow, which carried the America clear
off her course. Night came and the
equilibrator jerked and, jumped over
the waves, constantly threatening
the America with destruction. The
crew was Gained by the explorer
and after a time they went to sleep,
expecting to wake up in the sea.
Every effort was centered upon
keeping the America afloat, and to
this end even the gasoline for the en-
gines was tossed overheard. The
equilibrator kept up its unceasing
purring, and threatened to sweep
away the life-boat at any moment.
Wellman told the passengers on
the Trent that his course was laid
for the Azores, but the veering of the
wind made it impossible to reach the
i,land and the extra mileage reduced
the surply Of gasoline greatly Ber-
muda was the next hope of the party.
On Monday night more gasoline
and some damaged machinery were
iettisoned to keep the America afioat.
Early Tuesday morning the rescue
= came.
The Trent was sighted by the wire
less operator in the balloon and sig
nailed. The life-boat was successful
ly launched, Captain Yaniman bring
ing the America down close to the
waves, while Simon directed the re-
lease of the boat. The life-boat was
struck a glancing blow by the equili-
brator, which nearly capsized 1t.
When the weight Of the life-boat
and party was removed from the air
ship, the America shot up high into
the air and disappeared quickly in
the distance. The loss of the dirigi-
BILE was witnessed without regret, ac-
cording to Mr.. Wellman, ms il could
never be used again, having been
rent by the constant jockeying of the
equiliDratcr.
Wellman believes that the feat OF
2 crossing the Atlantic in gas bag
bay yet be accomplished, but that a
larger and stronger air craft than
the America will have to be built.
Wellman says that the equilibrator
was the mistake of the expedition.

CONGRESSIONAL. FORECAST GIVES
COLORADO To DFlM'0IG7R:}IA.I!I.r' Mo- PATTI .'rooRTY
Success Magazine Says Next Congress viii be
Evenly Balanced Between Two Parties
Interesting Facts

II will thus be seen that of these
thirteen doubtful districts four are
now represented by democrats and
nine by republicans. The successful
party will have to win seven of the
thirteen in order to control the
House, assuming that that our fore
cast in all other respects is correct
The fact that the republicans now
have nine of the thirteen doubtful
districts Is the sole justification for
our statement that the probabilities
are slightly in favor of republican
majority of two or three.
The extraordinarily close balancing
Of power between the two great par
ties of the country, as Indicated by
this. our preliminary forecast. can
hardly fail. it would seem, to be Of
good cheer to both-to the demo-
cratic party because after many years
it now has power almost within its
grasp, and to the republican party
because 1t is evident that the condi-
tiOns are not so bad as has been gem
arllly believed.
One of the most interesting phe-
nOmena disclosed by our investiga-
ton is the large number of stalwart
Cannon republicans who have seen
a great light" and are either openly
or surreptitiously announcing to their
constituents that they will never
again vote for the old man." or
course, nothing in politics is more
certain than that Speaker Cannon
will never again secure any consider
able measure of party support for
denomination to the Speakership,
and, knowing this, many of his pres
ent supporters undoubtedly feel that
they are entirely safe in giving this
pledge.
In conclusion, 1t should be under
stood that this forecast is preliminary
only and is a result of the expression
of public opinion in the lac: ten days
of September and the first four or
five days of October. For a congress
sional election, this is early to obtain
such a opinion especially as in sew
eral of the states-znotably New York
and Massachusetts of the
nominations at the primaries were
not made until October, and in al
most all the states active campaign
ing does not begin until the middle
of October.
II is more than possible, therefore,
that the local campaigns. as they de-
velop will change the results in some
of the districts in a way that can not
possibly be foretold by this time.

WESTERN SLOPE
BEE INDUSTRY

Few people in this section have
any idea of the growth of the bee in
dustry on the western slope in the
past few years. Last year no less
than 22 cars were shipped out of this
section and it is estimated that this
will net the producers something like
$4,000.
Western slope alfalfa honey is in
great demand all over the country;
in fact. the supply is far short of the
market demand.
The Poudre valley crop of honey,
usually one OF the heaviest in the
west, was complete failure this year
and as a result the other Colorado
honey-producers are receiving good
prices. From DeBeque to Fruita and
up the narrow guage to Montrose the
local consumption and express ship
ments will likely add about six cars
to the number reported above.

GREAT DAMAGE DONE
BY STORMS IN CUBA
A ssociated Press.

Associated Press
Havana. Cuba, Oct. 19.-Relief
trains are being sent into Pinar del
Rio, which bore the brunt of the re-
cent heavy storms. Scattered reports
that have been received here show
that the property losses throughout
that province were enormous.
The greater portion of the pro-
vince. which forms the western ex-
tremity of Cuba. was inundated, ani
nearly all of the towns suffered.
Hardly house has been left stand
ing in the country districts, and to-
bacco barns everywhere were de-
stroyed. The crops are ruined and
the monetary loss will total millions
of dollars.
The loss of life. apparently is
much less than was at first feared,
and what there was occurred chiefly
in the town of Consolaron where 12
persons were drowned.
1t is expected that other cases of
drowning will be discovered when
the relief trains penetrate the devas-
tated regions.

work east of Fourth street, and but
very little If any west of Fourth

The 2nd ward of Grand Junction

EPIGRAM OF AN INDIAN.

EPIGRAM OF AN INDIAN.
The recent visit of the Crow
Indian chief to the White House
to see President Taft concerning
the disposition of their lands
has recalled a good story of old
Shah-bah-skong, head chief of
the Mile Lac, the memory of
whom is still preserved in the
interior department.
The chief took all his warriors
to defend Fort Ripley in 1862,
and for this act of bravery the
secretary of the interior, the
governor and the legislature of
Minnesota promised the Indians
that they should have the spec
ial care of the government and
. ever be compelled to move from
their Land.
4 few years later a special
"a ent was sent from Washing
ton TO ask the Ojibways to cede
their lands and remove to a
country north of Leech lake.
The agent called the Indians in
council and said:
my red brothers, your great
father has heard how you have
been wronged. He said: 4 will
send an honest man. He look
ed in the North, the South, the
East and the West. When he
saw me and said: This is the

EAST TEXAS EATING.

Tyler Post: 1t is claimed the
healthiest people in the world
are those living exclusively on
rice, and it is claimed further
that they live a greater number
of years. Now then, if the citl-
zens of Tyler should take to
eating rice to the exclusion of
bread, meats and vegetables,
after a few months they could
have a nice bank account. Who
will set the example? We pause
lust here for a reply?
Why should any one want a
bank account bad enough to get
it that way? Rice is a noble
cereal. 1t is the staff of life
of half the world, but it does
not appeal to Western ideas as
a fit substitute for all other
forms of food. AS an auxiliary
it has no superior, but as long
