County Commissioners Meeting.

Denver.-Delegates to the State AS
sociation of County Commissioners
transacted the following business:
In a committee report on control Of
water commissioners, it was urged that
state law should make the commits
sioners appointive by the governor and
that they should be paid from the state
instead Of from the county treasurers
as at present. This plan, it was con-
tended, would better equalize. the un-
missioners' work. Incidentally, the
counties are to be given greater
authority over the water commission
ers than at present. 1t is proposed
that legislation make it obligatory for
all warrants to be first approved by
the county auditor for payment.
President w. S. Whinnery of Hins-
dale county said that the committee
to which was intrusted the task Of
drawing up this proposed legislation
has been assured that every member

nesday made a successful landing on
the cruiser Pennsylvania, and an hour
later rose from the deck and flew
back to Selfridge field twelve miles
away. The feat was accomplished
without mishap.
Not a wire or bolt OF the delicate
mechanism was injured, and the
seeming ease of the whole perform
ance lessened the spectacular effect.
1T was easy enough said Ely, as
he stepped from his seat and was
seized by the cheering soldiers OF the

their shoulders. Il think the trick
could be successfully turned nine

Ely's flight was a feature OF the

Adverse weather had caused post

was smoky, but MINDLESS, and the air

were made for his reception.
Ely had installed two sevenfoot
routoons under his lower planes to
float the machine in case he was
forced 10 descend on the water, and
forward he had built hydroplane to
keep the aeroplane from diving.
At 1885 the lookout on the Penn

been arranged in the center pieces of

and the machine was brought to stop
within twenty-five feet.
When Ely touched the deck he was
going at the rate of about thirty-fiye
rifles an hour, but so gradually was
the speed checked by the dragging OF
the sand bags as they were picked up
in succession that he came to stand
still without disarranging any part OF
