BERLIN, April D. 1911
Germany intends to lead the world In
he construction of huge lighter-than-al air
vessels to inaugurate aerial navigation
on an unprecedented scale, and accord
ing to information furnished by the
aeronautical expert Capt. H1ldeorandt'
two companies are in process of forma-
ton for this purpose.
One of these, with a capital OF $40
100000 has decided to adopt the plans of
a German engineer, Herr Boerner. for the
construction Of a monster airship with
capacity of 10000 cubic meters, so that
the new vessel will be eight times larger
than Count Zeppelin's latest creation.
Herr Boerner's airship will be built on
the rigid system and the balloon will be
divided into thirty eight alright COM
partments, to increase its buoyancy and
to insure safety in case of accident. The
extreme length will be TO feet and the
breadth 100 feet, and the vessel will be
driven by thirty motors, each developing
100 horsepower.

To Sail Over Ocean.

Two of the new warships. according to
the plans of the organizer of the COM
pany, will be employed for passenger
traffic between New York and London.
Owing to the greater quantity Of lug
gage carried on such voyages. the vessels
will limit their number of passengers to
Ito, and the fare will be 500 per person.

Apart from the officers and crew, num-
boring together 100, the airship will be
capable of carrying 200 passengers, and
elaborate arrangements have been made
for their fort, including the provision
of cabins with sofas, which during the
night can be transformed into berths and
a dining saloon of substantial size. 4
promenade deck will run around these
cabins, with an approximate length of
1,2OO feet. Every man of the crew and
each passenger will be provided with a
parachute, to be used in case OF disaster.
The vessel will also carry a portable
motorboat, packed in sections, which can
be put together In case of need. 1t is also
intended to publish on board a small
newspaper. to be filled with news obtain
ed by means Of the wireless telegraphy
apparatus with which the vessel will be
equipped. The cost of each vessel is
timated at 100000. and eight airships
are to be constructed at this price at the
outset It is estimated that the equip

loon will involve an expenditure of $50.

CITRUS FRUIT FROM
CAVE CREEK ORCHARD
Charlie PhiIes Says He Can Beat Salt
River Valley BY Two Weeks.

To those who have been in touch
with the mining industry for the last
quarter of a century mention of the
Cave Creek district is familiar
those whose ears are attuned only to
agricultural names. terms and places
1t has remained for Charlie Philes to
present the Cave Greek district to the
world as a citrus fruit section.
Mr. Philes is a miner. For many
years past he has operated a little
property on Cave Creek. that he re-
Gently sold. but he has still other hold
ings and makes his home there Yet. He
has devoted himself mainly to the dig
sing of gold. has found time inciden-

friend. Postmaster McClintock. little
sack full of oranges. They are well
colored. most Of them being beauti-
full yellow though the green spots still
appeared on some of. them. They
were picked from the trees in his little
Cave Creek orchard.
I'm his letter Of transmission Mr.
Philes says that while cave Greek has
made no boasts heretofore concerning
its agricultural possibilities. it has a
climate that is unsurpassed for many
fruits. He says that most Of the land
along Cave Creek sticks SO straight up

the sides Of it. but there are little |
benches here and there along the !
stream. that are available to whoever |
files upon them and that would make |
