Ogden, March 2S.-MayOr William Glas-

the city council refusing to approve its
action in giving 90 per cent of the insur

A|RSH|P INVENTED BY
PROVO MAN MAY Fly
George 7. Peay, Jr., Believes He Has
Solved Problem of Aerial
Navigation.
Especial to The Herald-Republican.)

2
Provo, March 2S.-George 7. Peay,
Jr.. of this city is one of the latest to
enter the field of aviation. He has
applied for a patent, and has a work.
ing model nearly completed. In fact,
as soon as he receives his gasoline en-
gine which will furnish the motive
power, he viii be ready to make a
trial trip. The machine is constructed
of iron, except the cage, which will
contain the engine and the passengers,
which is made of heavy lumber. Mr..
Peay says if that will not go up his
theory is wrong-and he does not adj
init that-and it would be no use to
build a lighter aud more expensive
model, although he intends his machine
when built for the market TO
be constructed of lighter ma
terial The big revolving wheel, which
is now galvanized iron, will be made
of aluminium, and the upright iron pole,
or rod, will be replaced with steel.
while the cage Will be made of wicker
or some light material.
The principle and construction of the
machine are very simple. A tubular
iron rod extends upwards from the
cage about six feet. At the top of this
rod sheetiron. wheel with four
flanges, and about eight feet in
diameter, is attached horizontally. The
flanges are slightly obIique to the
horizontal plane of the wheel, being a
little higher in front than behind; they
also have rims at the outer edges be-
low the surface of the flange, which
tend TO hold the air from escap ping at
the sides.
The power from the gasoline engine
sets the rod and wheel in revolving
motion, and the result is that the
wheel bores its way up through the
air. The rod has a knuckle joint about
half way down, which enables the
operator to hold it level by tipping
the wheel from one side to the other;
and rudder is attached to direct the
car. The air can also be shut off the
wheel by means of curtains at the back
of each flange, which then causes the
wheel to become simply a parachute.
Mr.. Peay firmly believes he has
solved the problem of aerial naviga ton.
He figures that he can make SOC revo-
buttons Of the wheel a minute with
nty-hOrsepoWer engine and a TWEEN
ty-fOOt-diameter wheel, or plane, and
that he can carry four passengers
through the air at the rate of sixty
miles an hour with a machine of this
size
The principles Of the machine have
been submitted to expert mechanics
and have their approval; and toy
model has gone up In the air, and is
probably travelling yet. The working
model Mr.. Peay is now constructing
mas DSSh tAAtu bN poWSi uppiltu from
stationary engine, and it took two
men to hold it down with ropes till
the power could be shut off
A machine or airship, constructed on
the model devised by Mr.. Peay can be
cheapiy built. It will therefore. be
within the reach of people with limited
means, and may become more popular
than the automobile in a few years.
If the test with the gasoline engine
proves all that Mr.. Peay expects. he
will at once arrange for the manufac-
ture of the airship, and for placing
il on the market

BOND ELECTION
RESULT IN DOUBT
Returns Indicate Proposition to
Bond Cache County Has
Failed.
Especial to The Herald Republican,

Especial to The Herald Republican,
Logan. March 2g.-The result of the
bond election held in Cache county to-
day is still in doubt, and nothing defi-
mite will be known until sometime to-
morrow, when remote precincts are
heard from. Returns from IL out of II
precincts give 447 votes in favor of the
issue and 424 against. The indications,
however, are that the bonding PROPOSE
ton is beaten as many of the missing
precincts are known to be opposed to
il. Two issues were injected into the
campaign that We're detrimental to the
bonding proposition, the first being the
question of school consolidation, and
the second the road question.
Many of the people who were opposed
to the consolidation of the schools from
the first insisted that defeat of the
bonding proposition would keep alive
the anti-consolidation sentiment, and
they worked hard to bring about that
result, although a board composed Of
four anti-cOnsolidationis was plead
ing for the privilege to bond.
The county commissioners desired to
bond the county for S250,0O0 for road
building purposes, and feeling that the
success of the school bonding issue
would destroy their chances of bonding
for road purposes, they and their
friends made fight against the latter
issue.
The defeat Of the bonding PROPOSE
ton will mean the imposition of
heavy tax for two or three years. as
more school houses must be erected,
present accommodations being entirely
inadequate.
The disappointing vote today was in
Hiram, where the vote stood Ga yes"
and 66 mo" when a big majority in
favor of the proposition was looked for.
Smithville cast a very heavy majority
in favor of bonding. the vote standing
155 yes" and 10 no" while I'm Welton-
vile it was 105 in favor and 80 against
