St. HENRY'S TOUR
EXCITES COMMENT
SUCCESS or YOUNG NORTH DA-
KoTA AVIATOR, LUCKY ST.
HENRY is BEING CAREFULLY
OBSERVED BY THE GOVERN
MENT AND ENTIRE COUNTRY.

The tour OF St Henry through the
country is being carefully observed by
the government. The success Of his
flights In all degrees Of altitude and
in extreme weather conditions is
deemed sufficient proof of the merit of
his machine, the famous Curtiss BIZ
plane, known as the fastest biplane in
tho world.
The lapidity with which the aero
plane has been developed for military
purposes makes 1t seem reasonable to
believe that the army or navy of the
near future which does not possess
an equipment of aeroplanes will be at
an enormous disadvantage. Future de-
velopmeIts will be mainly along lines
OF greater lifting power, greater sta
Ellity, increased speed and prolonged
absence from the earth's surface. None
Of the developments will have other
then an extending use in the applica-
ton NJ machines Of the air to the pur-
poses of war
Institut;Dg a comparison between the
aeroplane and the dirigible, the former
with twice the speed ii now has and
NJ greater Endurance than it has Al
ready shown, ought to do much in
out manouvering the dirigible, and 1t
would seem as If the prospects were
that the planes will have every advan-
tage III the tactical field. Men of great
err daring Will, however. be needed to
manage the aeroplanes in war The
strain on the operator of the air plane
is cvps'Lhu end very tryins whilst he
operator of rhe dirigible in his COM
pa lively quarters can rast anI nave
relief.
The hipianc to be used by st. Henry
"a tine meet here is similar to tia: just
purch"st d oy the United states frnm
Mr.. Curtiss for use on the Mexican
border. 1t is just a little larger than
the standard Curtiss, which is 81 feet
inches By IL feet for main planes.
The money gathered from exhibit
lions and prize contests IS hig factor
ir the development Of the perfect flyer
of the future. This money, together
with new data gathered by the aviators
at each flight is all utilized in improv-
ing the aeroplane. The exhibition
period is but transitory stage in the
progress of aviation.
There Is no logical reason for be-
ljeving that within the next few years
the aeroplane in it improved capacity
will not be the most important ma
chine In war time.

DECORATIONS TO
BE IN UNIFORM
DECORATION COMMITTEE OF u.
C. 7. CONVENTION ASKS ALL
MERCHANTS IN CITY TO DEC
CRATE STORES AND STREETS
UNIFORMLY.

The decoration committee of the
United Commercial Travellers con-
vention is DESTROYS of having the city
stores and streets decorated uni
formly during the days the convention
is in session here. Decorative sets
have been ordered by the committee
for this purpose and they will be dis
posed of to all the local merchants at
the exact cost to the committee.
In addition to this the committee
in charge will assume the responsible
ity of doing all the decorating for the
different buildings.
1t was concluded by the decoration
committee that as nearly all the mer-
chants in the city will decorate their
stores and windows during the con-
vention, that many Of them would not
be the same, which was thought would
not present as handsome an appear
ance as though it were done with uni
formity.
For this reason the committee took
the step of ordering decoration sets.
which will in turn be disposed of to
the local merchants at the same price
paid for them by the committee. In
addition to this the members OF the
committee will donate their time and
assist in the decorating or do ii ali
for the merchants who may be pre-
occupied with other matters at the
time and cannot devote the time n
experimenting the decorations of their
stores themselves.

craftsmanship Is a subject which,
like the famous free horse, has been
ridden until II is wind broken. Any
oldbody can with his hands tied be-
hind him. tell just what is necessary
of the man who can deliver the
credentials. Correspondence schools
will, for a postal card addressed to
them, put one In way to earn any
whore from s15 to $500 week at the
game. and yet there are fellows who,
despite the advancement in long
distance knowledge houses and quick
service of the u. s. mails lag along
behind and watch the other fellow
drag in the mazun1a. The question of
why is salesman is hard one. One
man seems to be able to take up any
old line and pass 1t on the other fell
low in exchange for the evil root,
while if ink was selling at dime
barrel the other fellow couldn't ne
gotiate deal for enough to paint the
eye -brows of a microbe. Put on the
road by himself and on his own re-
sources he would develop into chaser
of misfit foot and die the death of a
billy goat crying for the photograph
of bean. And yet good advice and
free sample courses are daily flooding
the country and would-be Crib grab
bers are pouring their monthly pay
ments into the mail-order mills of
wisdom for the final treatment. We
are told that sucker is born every

after much travail.

ARE INTERESTED.

Of direct and personal interest to the
commercial traveller is any matter per-
tanning to good roads. While some are
so fortunate as not to be forced to
make the country towns and ride over
rough roads, others are not so fortu-
nate, and the following, from the YER
satile pen of Secretary Chas. c. Gill
bert Of the Memphis to- Bristol High
way association, should appeal to all:
Government aid in road building is,
in my opinion, soon to be the cry OF
the American people. The reason this
substantial assistance has not already
been given is that there has been no
concerted demand for same. The great
American populace is just now a awak-
ening to the full realization of the i'm
portance of improved highways The
time was when just any kind of roads
would do; now the best is none too
good, and the best feature of 1t all is,
the more we have, the more we want.

the various streams. Some Of our coun-
ty creeks have become famous rivers
on account Of the large appropriation
secured for them by some fortunate
congressman. Over $23, 900 has been
appropriated this year for rivers and
harbors. This is splendid work, and
will make the election Of some con-
gresham all the easier next time, but
while so much money is going into our
rivers, why not put a little in the pub
lie roads? One of the reasons is we
have not demanded it, and this lack of
demand has been caused by the lethar-
gy Of our people.
Il am not decrying the value Of all
the-year navigation Of our streams;
that work is important, but there are
other things equally as important -
even more so, and the great majority
OF the people, who live away from our
streams and railroads. are now taking
cognizance of their own rights. They
want public road improvements, and
sooner or later the Golfers of the United
States treasury will be opened in that
direction.
