ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

Can an aviator fly across the
United States? Why not? One
has fown from Boston to Wash
ington with very little trouble.
Hundred mile trips are not 50
rare. No one supposes that the
feat could be accomplished by q
single sustained flight. No loco
motive is made to undergo such
a test as that. The railroads
have division points, and when a
locomotive has gone $50 miles it
is thought to have its days work
Now if an aviator treats his ma
chine that well, and takes the trip
by distances, giving his machine
needed rest, there is no reason
why he cannot fly across the
country as easily as from Chica-
60 to Springfield. The great OBJ
stacles perhaps would be the
mountain peaks and ranges, but
men have made flights from low
attitudes directly up almost as
high as the highest passes of the
Rockies and Sierras. Vedrines III

LUCKY FRANKLIN.

The government has practically
taken over the Hanson canal at
e price named by the company,
for an interc oastal canal water
way from the Mississippi river to
Texas. The stream will be made
much wider and deeper and the
land for this purpose has already
been secured. This route. recon-
mended by Col. Beach was accept,
ed by the government and here is
the place where the Teche will be
connected with Cote Blanche bay.

declared Gen. Gabe Conrad, on,
Of Louisiana s foremost soldiers OF
fortune, a hero in the last Me
araguan revolution and who has
been conspicuous for the last ten
years in the warlike affairs of the
| Banana Republics.
Gen. Conrad arrived in New Or.

a prominent hotel. He expects to
take a rest Of a month, starting
out on the road Sept. l, using the
local hotel as his headquarters.

should begin to look around to

young man. but | am not as
young today as I was several
years ago." said the general, with
a smile.
The soldier of fortune did not
state what line of goods he will
offer the public. His friends say
he has associated himself with a
big eastern concern, and his
knowledge of the tropics will be
exceedingly useful to him in the
disposing Of his wares. Gen.

Broussard indicated that he had
important business at home and
the president then promised that
he would write him a letter on the
subject after he had investigated
