ATWOOD IS NOW IN
YORK STATE IN
HIS FLIGHT
Aviator Has Made Splendid
Progress in Cross
Country Flight

Lyons, N. Y, Aug 2f-wen on his
way into New York state IN his aero
plane flight from ST. Louis to New
York. Harry N. Atwood today pre-
pared to fly SO miles from here to
Utica. He said he probably would stop
at Syracuse and might detour over Au-
burn.
His daily record, not including to-
days plans together with the number
of stops between the daily start and
finish is:
ST. Louis to Chicago, two stops, 2ss
miles, five hours and 43 minutes.
Chicago to Elkhart, Ind, no stops,
101 miles, two hours and 16 minutes
Elkhart, Ind. to Toledo. o., one stop.
1873 miles, two hours and sc minutes
Toledo to Cleveland two stops, 1z3
miles, two hours and 90 minutes
Cleveland to Swanville, Pa, no STOP
"a miles. two hours and seven minutes.
Swanville to Buffalo. one stop, SO
miles, two hours and % minutes.
Buffalo to Lyons, N. Y. no stop. 1O4
miles, two hours and II minutes.
One result of his flight, Atwood says
will be to encourage long distance fly
ing in place Of aviation meets.
Atwood landed at Lyons, 13 miles
east of Buffalo. at $3.50 p. m. Sunday,
making the 1O4 miles in two hours and
II minutes without stop.
In one instance he went four miles
in three minutes and on reaching Ro-
chester, SO miles from Buffalo went
around the city so fast that people
standing on office buildings could not
get more than a glimpse of him.
A train that left Buffalo when At
wood did, ran in sight of the aeroplane
almost all the way to Rochester, but
arrived there IS minutes after the avia-
tor had passed around the city and
disappeared in the east. The train,
however. had made a stop en- route.
Eighteen towns and villages saw the
aviator Sunday as he swept over them,
often flying as low as $50 feet so he
could read the names of the railroad
stations as he passed.
Atwood does not intend to reach
Albany before Tuesday night, Leaving
Albany Wednesday morning he hopes
to cover the 142 miles from there to
New York with one intermediate stop,
sailing over the city and landing at
Coney Island in the afternoon.
Soon after he returns to Boston, At
wood said he would prepare for trans
continental flight this autumn, prob
ably from Los Angeles to New York
He said he thought he could make the
$500 miles in Is days, taking south
ern course to St Louis and coming
north by the way of Cincinnati to New
York state.

The sane Fourth movement had its

ON WATER SITUATION
MAKE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS
TO GUARANTEE ADEQUATE WA

The following report has been sub

at the recent mass meeting at the
court house to investigate the water
supply of the city. They recommended
that a well be sunk at once for ar

for to do the work. Following is the
report of the committee in full:
We your committee feel that some
thing should be done at once to Sc
cure more water for Ardmore. The
unofficial report of the city engineer
will give our total supply of water
about 125OO0,OOO gallons, Something
like half of that will be available.

the situation. 1t has been the history
of this section .hat the rainfall can
not be depended upon in the fall and
winter. Therefore we recommend that
a 10 or 12-inch well be sunk near the
old Townsend well as a test for ar
tesian water. 1t is the opinion OF the
majority of your committee that this
is the cheapest way to secure good
water for drinking purposes, and
that an abundant supply can be OBJ
tanned. We recommend that bids be
for to do drilling for one
test well at once. The ways and
means of raising the funds to secure
water, we leave for the

The cross survey of the city lake
being made by the city engineer for
the purpose of determining the
amount of the present water supply Is

stated this morning that he was really
surprised and gratified at what he
found in making the survey.
He stated that there was really
more water at the lake than was an

time. However he stated that should
the lake get much lower that the wa

practically unfit for domestic pur-

lake would fill rapidly. If Ardmore

to see that a like condition shall not

where from has not been determined
as yet.
