MARS OVER ROUTE.
Establishing Path for AeropIane Flight
"Wednesday.

Kansas City, June 14.-They need
Pdthnnders for an aeroplane race, too.
NOT man-bird to blaze a way through
Tue ar put motor car to cover the
route, to mark the dangerous spots,
TO find places where landing is pos
sioIe and to make a general chart of
the land VI
This morning an auto started over
part OF the route ]. c. Mars will fly
tomorrow in his fight from Lawrence
TO Overland park. In the pathfinder
party were Mr.. Mars and Charles viii
lard, another aviator.
me entire thirty-four miles the
craft is scheduled to cover "Wednesday
will not be marked today-iIst the
maj lap OF the course between Olathe
ana overland park, where the chances
OF unscheduled landing will be much
greater than at the start of the flight.
small captive balloons will be staked
out along the course so, the aviator
Ilylng several hundred feet high, will
know whether he is following the right
course.
The exact hour when the aeroplane
Will begin it's flight down the Kaw
valley has not been set. Mr....Mars
and w. b. Strang, the promoter of the
contest, will determine that this after
noon. 1t is believed, however. the
machine will leave Lawrence about
o:9O O'Clock SO the landing can be
made at Overland before 5 O'Clock.
Olathe Will be the only stopping point.
unless the aerop1ane meets with an
accident. Mr.. Mars will stop only
long enough to oil his propeller and
take on fuel Then he will start on
the last lap of his trip.
Two mechanics who follow Mars in
all his aerial exhibitions will speed
after the aeroplane in a motor car
from Lawrence. They do not EXPECT
to be able to keep up with him. but
if the aviator should meet with an ac-
cident, they could soon catch up. At
Olathe Strang car will wait the ar
rival of the aviator and race in the
fourteen miles to Overland park with
the aeroplane.
Although the fight which Mars has
set out to accomplish is only thirty
four miles long, it will be a remark
able feat if the aviator is successful.
1t will be almost as difficult as the
feat attempted by Charles K. Hamil-
ton yesterday, although the course is
only one-fifth as long.
Here is the difference: Hamilton
flew in 60-horsepower machine.
Mars will attempt his journey in "a
horsepower machine, hardly half the
size of the one that carried Hamilton.
Whether Mars attains his goal or
not, he will give series of flights at
Overland park Thursday.

Aeronaut Flies DirigibIe Over New
York City.

New York. June 14.-Another aero

dirigible balloon. Fred Owens, a ~
year-old resident of Belleville, N. J.,
brought business to virtual stand
still in lower Manhattan by suddenly
appearing in his airship, flying across
the Hudson river and then attempting
to land his craft in City Hall park.
Owens found that landing had ITS
elements of hazard as Well as those OF
flying! His dirigibie became unman-
ageable in the air current between the
city hall and the county court house
and the framework of the gas bag
bumped a chimney on the county
court house, bending the frame and
putting the propeller out of business.
Owens threw out rope and tried
to land, but the gas bag shot upward
and the dangling rope eluded crowd
of onlookers, the aeronaut and his I'M
manageable Girigible floating away in
the direction Of Brooklyn.
Owens made a test trip of 10 miles
with his dirigible this morning from
Belleville. N. J.. to Passaic and re-
turn.

MAKING A SUCCESS
OF DRY FARMING
william Bailey of Ncphi Talks OF Es-
sentials and Points Out Cause
OF Some Failures.

"I believe dry farming is just in its
infancy. The steam shovel is not
success on our Utah sagebrush farm
lands. 1t requires a minimum OF ~
inches precipitation a year to produce
crops on our dry farm lands"
The foregoing are statements of one
of the most successful and up-to-date
dry farmers in Utah, William Bailey
of Nephi, who is at the New Wind
Sor.
For 10 years Mr.. Bailey has made
a success of dry farming near Nephi,
which section today leads in dry farm
ing in the State of Utah. Mr- Bailey
and brother, Thomas. have farm
of $50 acres on the Levan bench. six
miles south of Nephi. Counting the
100 acre tract of H. L. Boyer'S or
Springville, which Mr.. Bailey is hand
ling also, he now has $40 acres In
charge. This acreage is exceeded by
only two other farmers down there:
j. w. Paxman, with 1.600 acres, 500 of
which is under cultivation; and Grace
Brothers with 700 to 800 acres, all
under tillage.
"Our Levan dry farms yield us an
average of 20 bushels OF splendid mill
ing wheat to the acre every alter
nate year. Some acres, of course,
much exceed that. 1t costs us about
$40 an acre, and at present prices
each acre nets us sl0." said Mr..
Bailey.
"Our method differs slightly from
that proving successful in Boxelder
county. We plow the stubble under
in the fall and plant the seed the
following September. II VIC plant
earlier than September our next June
frosts nip the tender first Joint and
the crop is ruined. Several years ago
some of our crops were destroyed
from this cause. That first joint in

to the disastrous washout on the Salt

deferred.

Fighting of Daily NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
On Las Varitas Anticipated
At Any Time.

Managua, Feb. 4.-Indications noint
to the imminence of decisive battle
between the government forces and
the revolutionists.
The insurgents are spreading the con-
hict over a wide area in tho moun-
famous district east of Manaruo- and
are holding forth in considerable num-
bcrs about Greytown. but everywhere
they are confronted by the troops OF
President Madirz, who are dIsputtInr

Fighting Is of almost daily occur,
renee. Yesterday the insurgents cap-
tured Boaca, 60 miles cast of Manarua.
forcing back the government troops to
their main army at Las Varitas. I'm the
mountainous district between La Lib
crtad and Acoyapa. In turn the gov
ernment troops defeated band of in
surgents numbering 500.
Col. Valdez of the national forces
threw out an ambuscade and into IL
walked the revolutionists. He then in
nlcted serious loss upon them. and
finally after an hour of fighting, forced
them to take refuge in the mountains.
Nothing daunted, however, the revo-
lutionists the same day made other
fruitless attempts to take Las Varitas.
Gen. Vasquez, commanding the Ma
driz troops. In a telegram received to-
day, says he expects the insurgents 10
make another and more desperate at

and that decisive battle is near.
A party OF 40 American tourists from
