| miles and a rescue, the like Of which
| Is unknown to all history.
| None of the aeronauts expressed re.
greet for the loss of the America. They
agreed that 1t had served it's purpose
and taught its lesson. All stand ready
to renew the attempt as soon as Well
man and his engineers find a way to
conquer the difficulties that brought
their first trip to its thrilling end last
Tuesday morning 400 miles southeast
of Sandy Hook. Standing on the deck
of the Trent Wehman made this state
ment:
I'VE thought we could not get along
without the equilibrator. Now we find
we could not get along with 1t. Our
plans for the future are indefinite UNI.
I'll we find something that will do what
we thought the equilibrator would do"
The ''equili5rator," to which Well
man attributes the failure of his voy-
age was the series of tanks contain
ing gasolene which floated in the water
attached to the airship by long rope.
Gnsolcne Exhausted
The direct cause for abandoning the
America was the exhaustion of the sup
ply of Gasoline, which had to be thrown
out to save the ship until, when tho
crow abandoned the balloon. only
enough was leftto last about twenty.
four hours.
The other members of the America's
crew said they felt as well as ever,
and they looked it. They are Melvin
Nanimnn. the engineer: j. hurry
Simons, the navigator. J. * Irwin, the
wireless operator; Albert l.. Loud and
John Auburt. the air sailors.
There was also the gray kitten,
which was so hampered by the wo-
men passengers aboard the steamer
that her sides bulgcd with feeding.
She had made the air voyage as a
namelcss cat, but on board the liner
was promptly christened Trent" She
left the steamer on IMr. Vaniman's
shoulder.
a thick gray curtain of fog hung
over New York Bay this morning and
caused a postponement of the last
scene of the drama in which Wellman
and his crew were the chief figures.
The Trent was forced to anchor off
Sandy Hook, and there she remained
until early in the afternoon before the
fog lifted enough to make 1t safe for
her to come up the harbor. Mean
while a party of those nearest and
dearest to the shipwrecked aeronauts
had taken tug and gone as far as
the quarantine station to meet them.
In this party were Mrs. Wellman, Mrs.
Vaniman, Mrs. Leroy Chamberlain.

some sixty or seventy miles from our
starting point when we were passed

evening.
But Engineer vaniman is a man
whose resourcefutness In an emer-
goncy is almost equal TO his ingenuity
In preparation. After hours OF patient
nursing. he got the Lorraine Dietrich

ate that he did SO. a fresh south wind

drifting toward the Long Island coast.

that unless we could force our way
rapidly to the eastward we would he
compelled to suffer the humiliation of
starting from Atlantic City for Europe
and landing somewhere near Coney
Island Thus put upon his mettle MIR.
Naniinan and his motor responded
cleverly. All through that saturday
night this engine was kept in opera
ton--nne hours without a stop. Inch
by inch and mile by n1ide we fought
our way toward the east as eager 10

as ever skipper was sailing the main

be understood. our situation was not
unlike that of ship of the sea, II
we were 10 go ashore ii meant nothing
less than shipwreck That is to say. once
ashore. ashore we should be compelled
to stay. and our voyage was at an end.
This is because of our great steel sea

eduilibrator, strange device weigh
ing two tons. and floating upon the
surface of the ocean. Should this SER

In this ali-night battle to force tho
America fast enough to the eastward
TO escape wreck upon the Long Island
shore. we discovered some very i'm
portant facts. First among sheso was
that the euuilibrator greatly d.
minished the speed OF the airship.
We had used similar trailer in our
voyages over the Arctic Sea. and had
there found the retardation somewhat
small. But this trailer was necessarily |
much larger and heavier and held the
ship hack from her normal speed OF
about twenty statute miles per hour
to less than fifteen, This was discour- |
aging enough. But more was TO fol-
low We also learned that on account
OF the drag of the trailer. the airship
could not be stored into the wind.
without serpent dragging upon and
after her the America could be steered
AT any angle to any wind, or even into
the eye of 1t UP to the limit of the
power OF her engines and propellers.
But now we found the best she could
do in fifteep-mile breeze was TO pull
the pesky serpent after her ana make
an angle of fifty degrees from the
winds course
Discouraging as these discoveries
were. forcing Mr.. Van!man and myself |
to realization of the faultiness Of
some of our designing and construc.

Petition Organization of
District

On another page we publish the
notice of the committee of the
time and place of the presenta-
tion of the petition to the Board
of County Commissioners, ask
ing for the organization of the
Estancia Irrigation District, The
petition is signed by a large maj
ority of the resident freeholders,
representing over six thousand
acres of the patented land with
in the district. Within the pro-
posed district there are about
thirty thousand acres of patent
ed land, a large number Of the
owners being nonresidents.
Upon the granting of the pc
tition by the commissioners, an
election will be called by them at
which time the organization will
be voted upon by the qualified
electors, resident freeholders
within the district and who have
oaid a property tax during the
year preceding.
The work, preparatory to the
voting and the selling of the
bonds will be pushed, and no
time will be lost which can be a.
voided. With irrigation, the Es-
tancia Valley will come into it's
own, as the real Garden Spot of

o pay these expenses as provid-
ID for under the safe and same"
constitution, which the bosses
ask the voters to swallow on Jan
uary q next.
While it is a fact that the con-
stitution provides that the tax
levy after the first year Of the
state shall not exceed ten mills
for these purposes, there is
nothing to prevent the legisla-
ture from compelling all prop
erty to be returned at full value
instead of about fourth value
as at present, when the limit
levy can still be made, and the
taxes increased to about four
times the amount we are now
paving, which anyone will con
cede to be enormous. Will you
swallow the pill, Mr.. Tax
payer, or will you cast your vote
against the constitution? It's up
to you.

irrigation to a finish. The issue
was between the old settler and
the new, and the grain farmers
carried their interest even to
subscribing to pay LAWYERS and
court costs. Modesto, a bright
and vigorous county seat Of 5000

languished, and sheriff's sales
filled the newspapers. Turlock,
now growing young town of
1000, was nothing. All around
wheat stubble, except in the
spring, when the fields were
green, and the yield of these was
decreasing, yearly, Values of
land were from $40 to SIS per
acre. However, the march Of
progress was in the Valley, else
where, and the end of it was
victory for irrigation, and the
surrender Of the grain farmers
to the new order Of things. Now
the same men who subscribed
money to defeat irrigation Cone
man, 100000 are holding their
raw lands up to values Of $100 to
$500 per acre, and planted lands
are worth even $500 or more
per acre On the north side of the
river, in the Modesto district,
which has been settled the longer
values of land are even greater,
and many dairy herds and alfal-
ia and orchards and vineyards
have caused numerous cream

Iies to be established. Modesto
