Stockmen, Your Attention

Bankruptcy is staring many stockmen in the face in this coun- try and other parts of Arizona, for the simple reason that they have neglected to build tanks and pre- pare for dry spells. This country has always had drouths and al- ways will have. The independent stockman is the one that is pre- pared to stand dry spells. l have been three years building tanks and digging wells on one of the surest ranges in Arizona. My tanks are situated so that stock can run for miles on or off the re- serve, and within easy reach of the Verde river. This range has never had sheep on it but will make first class one, as we'll as one of the finest lambing places in the west. Anyone wishing to buy these tanks can get them at a reasonable price.

Nearly Collided With Ship.

Suddenly the skipper heard the chug

any well regulated lights should be.
They were eighty feet aloft. Behind
and above them he could make out

and collision between this strange
heavenly visitor and his masts, which
extended more hundred feet on high,
seemed inevitable. Suddenly the rud-
der Of the aerial craft was thrown
over hard, the black mass veered. and
the disaster was averted.
But, as for that skipper, there GER

The effect already is to reduce the

broke two records. 1t was by far and
away the longest journey ever made
over the water either by a balloon or
an aeroplane. Indeed, it was the first
real oversee voyage ever attempted
since all other fights of this descrip-
ton were only across narrow necks of
the sea. Not only so, but the America
broke all records for sustained fight
on either sea or land, having been in
the air nearly three days and nights.
These points must be placed to Well
mans credit-that he had the courage
to undertake feat which the whole
world said was impossible and came
as near as he did to it's accomplish
ment. that he risked life in the inter-
ests Of science, that he provided his
airship with safeguards by means Of
which the whole crew was rescued and
that he discovered the weaknesses of
his craft and made future flight across
the Atlantic possible.
Aeroplane May Succeed.
1t has been said that it is better to
aim at lofty mark than an inferior
one, even if the arrow falls short.
Wellman aimed at Europe and fell
into the Atlantic ocean some hundreds
Of miles east Of Norfolk, Va. If his
failure to reach the goal proves any
thing it is that the aeroplane and not
the dirigible must be the future means

were all over it's body.
