FROM PARIS TO LONDON.
NIoissant Crosses the Channel and
Lands Near Deal

Deal, Aug. 17.-With every prospect
of success in completing the aerial trip
from Paris to London, which since
the crossing of the English channel
by Bleriot and others had been the
great aim of the bird-men, Moissant,
the young Spanish aviator, descended
near here today, having accomplished
the fight from Paris to Calais, and the
journey across the channel to Deal
with an ease and brilliancy rarely
surpassed. He is now preparing to
continue to London, the completion of
which will bring him the cup and
prize offered by London newspaper
for the course and the proceeds of the
Grahme White, which the unsuccess-
full competitor in the London Man
chester flight generously offered as a
prize for the Paris to London COM
petition.
Huburt Latham, who started from
Issy, a suburb of Paris. to race Mois-
SAINT to London, had a series of unfor-
tunate accidents. the last at Amiens,
eliminating in the total wrecking of
his machine as he was preparing to
unhurt, but is out of the race.
The last stage of Moissant's fight,
the trip across the channel was accom-
plished in a strong breeze, the wind
being so high that experienced avia-
tors looked on the start as foolish. It
was such a wind as repeatedly de-
tered Bleriot, Latham and other avia-
tors from attempting the passage of
the straits and correspondents who
had witnessed the earlier attempts to
cross the channel confidently wired
their papers that Moissant would not
start before evening, when the wind
was expected to fall.
Nevertheless, as soon as he could
arrange for a French torpedo boat to
follow him across the channel, Mois-

The breeze was still strong and the
monoplane, which like other Bleriot
machines, appeared to spectators less
steady in the air than the heavier BIZ
plane pitched and rolled so danger
ously that spectators believed 1t in i'm
minent danger.

ON MUDDY LINKS.
Golf Tournament Is Played in a
Drizzling Rain.

Denver. Colo, Aug. 17.-According
to the pairings in the first round of
match play in the trans mississippi
golf tournament today's play promises
to bring out some of the hardest
fought games of the week. H. G.
have little trouble in disposing of Har-
rison of Des Moines and his way to
the semi-f1nals probably will not be
seriously disputed, except by the win
ner of the Fairbanks-Fisher match,
which will eliminate at least one of
his most dangerous rivals. Bromfield
of Denver, second in the qualifying
round, will have to meet a veteran
at tournament play in A. W. Copp
of Denver. The two have fought it
before this year in the Colorado
championship, when Bromfleld put
Copp out in the first round.
J. Austin's sensational 7S in the
second round of medal play upset all
calculations and if he shows anything
like the form he displayed yesterday
he probably will beat H. ]. Eaton of
Kansas City. with whom he is paired.
C. L. Smith of Douglas, Ariz., and
Loui Jacoby of Galveston have played
consistent golf here and should make
an interesting and hard fought match.
The clash between w. M. Sheehan of
Des Moines and w. j. Foye of Omaha
surely will eliminate one dangerous
contention, although Foye has not
shown his true form in his play IN
the present tournament.
Legg is suffering from a very lame
foot and is under a doctors care. His
1ameness may seriously hamper him
in the match play.
The first roundsof the trans Missis-
sippi golf tournament VIII be PLAYED
on rain soaked links, as a drizzling
rain set in before o'clock, with pros
poets of continui-G s for some time.

this method of agriculture. President

ent but will also speak and assist in
forming state organization. He sug-

Treatment Of Tubercuiosis.

1t was the concensus of opinion of the
tuberculosis Congress that met at Wash
ington, D. G., 1908, that fresh air, sun
shine, plain, nourishing food, and rest
are the prime factors in the treatment of
this disease. By all means 60 to a sani-
torium if you can, for this reason: 20 our
only business there is to get we'll, as is
that of all the other patients; conse-
quently you treat yourself like a sick
person, and don't try to keep up a we'll
mans ideals as you would in board
ing house or hotel. You have no special
duties, but do have regularity in meals
and time of rising and retiring. The
training gained in a good sanitorium is
invaluable to you when you are ready
to step out into the world again.
Work and all activity is denied cases

From many letters received by the
Secretary of the South Dakota State
Horticultural Society, it appears that
certain agents from outside the State
are now selling large numbers of "hardy
Catalpa" trees. This is beautiful tree
OF rapid growth, native of the South
ern States where the timber is found to
be exceedingly durable for posts, but
the southern origin Of the Catalpa does
not fit it for Dakota prairies and it
should not be planted anywhere in this
State with the expectation of good re-
suits as timber tree. 1t has been tried
in many places, but the general expert
ence is very unfavorable. For purely
ornamental purposes tree or two in a
place where it may come up in bush
form when killed to the ground, will
not be amiss; but for timber or fence
posts the South Dakota farmer will save
money by burning the Catalpa trees be.
fore he plants them.

Sylvan Lake Draws Crowd.

This scenery can't be beat in the
world. Ispent a month in Switzerland
last summer and I can honestly say it
is as beautiful here at Sylvan Lake as it
is there, though of course the Alps are
on larger scale" This is the way
Harry Wentzy expressed his idea Of
Sylvan Lake on alighting there with his
bride Saturday morning.
Saturday was the opening Of this pop
ular resort, the most delightful spot in
the State of South Dakota, if not in the
entire west, and Manager Carroll left
nothing undone that would contribute
to the pleasure of his guests. AS mat
ter of fact the natural charms of that
picturesque mountainous spot are such
that unsnding diversion and recreation
is furnished the visitors without an eff.
fort on the part of the management.
There are so many different spots to Wis
it, peaks to climb, grassy shady parks to
wander through, and new scenes to de-
light the eye that there is no need for
artificial amusement the entire day.
Much of ones pleasure at such place
however, depends upon the service
given at the hotel, and in this respect
Mr.. Carroll has made careful provision
His meals are well prepared and the
service is polite and attentive, while
the rooms are neat and inviting. Every
thing about the place contributes tc
restfulness and the activity is such al
to lead one away from the every day
scenes and activities. Among the de
lights are the boat rides, the billiard
room, and in the evening the musi
and dancing and all of these features ar
free.
The newspaper men of the state hat
been invited to be Mr.. Carroll's person
al guests for two days at the occasion o
the opening and many took advantag
of the hospitality and found it mos
hearty.-Rapid City Guide.

The proposition Of National board
of health is a good one. If the govern
ment can spend millions on animals and
plants. why not some on people. The
states are the same. The population,
which is the one thing all states and
cities are contending for, has been given
the least attention. Ill health and dis
ease can be greatly eliminated by prop
er government regulation. Commune.
ties that tolerate disease breeding gar.
bage cans can be brought to time, and
local officials that are lax in enforcing
law can be superseded by men who will
have no fear if We get a national board
of health. The plan is good one, and
the whole country should boost for
better national health regulation.
