as it may seem. the influence of his

I feel l cannot better conclude this,
his anniversary day, than by con-
graduating The Press on the timely
articles on the Grand Junction COM

apparently given one of his faith

but sleep was not yet for Vinita
Bill. The heart of that gentleman
was full, and he conjured up
strange, joyous dreams wherein the
girl played delightful parts. There
was a snug little ranch, high in the
foothills, with crystal brook gurg-
ling by, the lowing of longhorns in
the distance and a brown orbed
housewife brining hard cider to her
weary lord on the shady front
porch. Thus he slept.
Next morning Vinita, up with the
birds, found the cabin door flung
back. Venus had gone 70 battle. A
glitter in the sunlight attracted him
and he picked up a ring. Turning
the curiosity, he slowly spelled out
the inscription, ITO K. B. from j.

graved heart.
"'E. B.-that's her." he unused,
"and j. N.'-that's her lover.
There's a heart after it. Yinita Bill,

The attempt of Walter Wellman and party, six men in all, to cross the At lantic in the airship America" proved a failure and the entire party narrowly escaped from their experience with their lives. The Royal Mail steamship Trent at 5 o'clock on the morning of Oct IS discovered the members of the Wellman party afoat in small boat on the open sea, with the waves run ming high. The transfer of the party to the lifeboat of the Trent was only accomplished with great difficulty. At point 120 miles due east of Hatteras, off the North Carolina coast, WelIman,
 Engineer Vanniman and their crew of four wireless experts were compelled to abandon the America. They low cred the lifeboat which they were tow ing beneath the balloon and cut it loose from the airship in heavy sea. The airship was blown away, and they never saw it again.

WIRELESS COMPANY
 FOR IDIT TAR0D FORMED

Fairbanks News Miner, Oct. 24: By spring time or in early summer at the latest the isolation of the Idtarod will be at an end, as telegraphic communi- cation with the Outside world will have been established, through the efforts of a wireless company composed of local men and few from the Iditarod Or ders have already been filed and plans are now being formulated either for the shipments of the plants over the winter trail, or over the ice of Lake Laberge.
 At the head of the company, known as the Alaska Wireless Telegraph Co.,, is Falcon Joslin, while c. F. Milligan, the wireless engineer for the Signal Corps, although under the civil service, will be the general manager. He will resign his present position and take charge of the affairs in the Iditarod
 The company proposes to establish system using the Telefunken outfits manufactured in Germany, and it is partly on the business of securing these that Falcon Joslin is now on his way to the Outside.
 The whole outfit is carried on a wagon in 8 compact form and can be set up and be operating in an hour and half Each of the plants cost $5, 900.
 Several plants have already been or dered by the company, of which two will be used for the Iditarod service Of these one will be set up at Nulato or Kaltag and the other will go into the Iditarod. Another will be placed at some point in the Kuskok vim and others will be installed as needed. The Alaskan Wireless has the exclusive right of the Telefunken system for Alaska.
 A message from General Maus to Falcon Joslin, and in possession of General Manager Milligan states that the army will be glad to cooperate with the independent stations.
