Routine Work at College Park.

There was nothing done at College Park
yesterday afternoon except routine train
ing flights. The air was very still and
Capt. Chandler, Lieut.. Kirkland, Lieut.
Arnold. Capt. Hennesy and Lieut. Ken
nedy made a number of flights Lieut..
Sherman was taken up as a passenger.
Capt. Beck who has been waiting more
or less patiently for a fifteen-mile wind In
which he could complete the trials for his
military certificate, made several flights
early in the afternoon, but as there was
no prospect of q breeze later he came to
town. Then just at dusk nice fifteen
mile wind came up and lasted about the
required five minutes before subsiding.
Work is being continued by the naval
flying contingent at Annapolis. There
are half q dozen naval aviators and
about as many student officers. but the
same shortage Of officers affects the navy
flying as 1t does in the army. If a naval
officer wants to be instructed as an avia-
tor he Is permitted by the government to
take on the job in addition to any other
work he happens to be doing. This
rather hampers regular training.
All Of the midshipmen at the academy
would apply for instruction II they were
permitted, but the. authorities have de-
cided 1t would interfere too much with
their school work and they are considered
too young. anyhow, 80 they will have to
sit still and grow.

ARMY WATER BIRDS.
Flock to Be Chartered Soon in
Washington.
FIRST OF BURGESS DESIGN
Officers to Have Chance in HYDRO
Aeroplane Training Near Wash
ington Barracks.
FIRST OF BURGESS DESIGN

The first Of the hydro-aeroplanes de-
signed for the War Department fleet in
washington is to be a Burgess from the
factory OF that company in Marblehead,
Mass. Lieut.. R. c. Kirkland is to leave
for Marblehead tomorrow evening, and
Will superintend the final assembling of
the machine and learn to fly 1T before he
returns When he brings 1t to WASH
ington it will be the first of the flock Of
water birds that the army intends as
sembling at the Washington barracks.
There Is no telling just how long it
will be before this new station is estab-
lished. The location Of the new quarters
will be on the edge of the river some
where behind the War College. The site
has not been definitely picked. and it is
understood that there is some trepidation
on the part of the officers in charge of
the Washington barracks lest the estab-
lishment of q hydro station should mar
the beauty of the landscape. The parade
ground at the barracks is a beautiful
place, and would not make bad avia-
ton field, and the lawn south of the Of
ficers' quarters on the main branch OF
the Potomac is also beautifully culti-
waited. But there Is about a quarter OF
mile of unimproved shore line Dack OF
the War College where almost anything
in the way Of a station would be an i'm
provement.
Construction Of the Hangers.
1t IL understood that the building OF
the hangers will be done by the quarter
masters department, and the army Of
fcers who do not seem to hold very
high opinion of that departments speed
xhou Of
aeroplanes will have to be put on run
ners and tried out on the ice next win
ter. 1t is possible, however, that this
view is unduly pessimistic.
The new water machine that has been
designed for the army is the first that
coming into use among the European
machines. The aeroplane is biplane of
the chara cteristic Wright type. with
which Washingtonians are familiar. The
ator and the observer is Of stream line
form, reducing the head resistance and
tending to make the machine faster as
we'll as more comfortable. The floats
under it are Of the usual Burgess type.
The navy has been using hydroplanes
right along since they were first de-
veloped by Glenn Curtiss, but THIS will
be the first of the land, water and air
machines that the army has tried.
One of the interesting features of the
new machine is that 1t will have a Rem
auH motor, and 1t is the first government
to be equipped with a foreign
engine. This is said. however, to be an
on any motor produced in
this country. 1t is a stationary cylinder,
air-cooled engine and holds the endur-
ance record of III hours. One OF the
other desirable points Is that it has q
wide range of speed and can be run nor
mally at half speed. giving the avi-
ator considerable leeway as to power in
both directions.

COnfederates Had Two Flags.

From the Magazine of-Americsn History
The first Confederate colors were
the Stars and Bars, a flag upon which
appeared three stripes, two red and
one white, with blue union, the
width of two stripes. This flag was
carried at Bull Run, and it was quick
ly noticed that at a distance it resem-
bled the United States colors so much
as to cause trouble. Nevertheless
the Stars and Bars were used all
through the war and at least one
such flag was captured at Appomat-
tox Station by the Eighth New York
Cavalry regiment. Then was designed
the well known "battle flag" flag
Of correct heraldic blazoning, decid-
eddy handsome and very distinctive,
as it did not resemble the Stars and
Stripes.
The new flag was red with blue
satire (St. Andrews cross, edged
with white and bearing usually thir-
teen stars. There appears to have
been no rule as to how the stars
should stand; in some they all have
one point upward; in other flags some
Of the stars are so placed, while
others have two points upward.
But the general design was closely
held to, the variations being mostly
in the shape of the flag, which ought
to have been square but which was
sometimes made oblonp and the tint
Of the border with many. colors, like
those of Virginia, Georgia, Florida,
for example. in place Of fringe. The
border, from one to two inches wide,
was white as a rule, but was some
times orange or dark yellow.

THE FARMERS ELEVATOR :

The farmers in the Judith Gap dis
trict have at last taken the final steps
for the erection of an elevator in this
town. and it is the wisest move they
have made since settling in Montana.
The board of directors are capable
men. honest and Industrious, and will
bring about quick results. The MEM
beers will also manage the elevator in
. manner that will prove satisfactory
to q large majority of the stockhold-
ers, or the journal is badly mistaken.
The erection and operation Of this
elevator will prove of benefit to all
the farmers in 4 wide radius of Judith
Gap. Its beneticient influence will be
felt in many ways, and the stock
holders will never regret the invest
ment they have made.

STATE LICENSE
IS NECESSARY

Helena, July II. 1912. Dear SIR
Many people are violating the law of
state by conducting places OF bust
ness for which state license is re-
quired. without having secured such
license.
We believe that in a good many in
stances this violation is due to ignor-
ance of the law. Therefore we re-
quest that you publish the following
for the information of your subscrib-
erS.
Section 10 Chapter 1870, Session
Laws of 1911, requires that every per-
son conducting any bake shop, con
fectionery, cannery, packing house,
slaughter house, meat market. dairy.
restaurant, hotel, dining car or lunch
counter in the state, secure a license
for such place of business from the
state board of health ut Helena.
Section Is, of the same chapter pro-
vides that any person who sells or Of
fers for sale any milk or cream is
conducting dairy, and is therefore
required to have Il license Licenses
are issued without cost, but applica-
ton must be made on proper blank
form, which can be secured by written
request OF the state board of health
at Helena.
AT meeting of the state board of
health on July Is. 1912, the secretary
was ordered to file complaint against
each and every person in the state
conducting any business mentioned
above, who has not secured IA license
from the state board of health ON or
before August l5 1912.
Yours very truly,
II. d. futile, Secretary.

their inhabitants. have been dealt a
blow by physician investigators who
maintain that twO-thirds of the eases
of typhoid fever in the city owe their
origin to unsanitary conditions III the
country and to polluted water supplies.
Farms, which are generally remote
from towns, cities, or other areas oi
congested population, would seem to

in reality polluted water is exceeding

be communicated by polluted waters
obtained from shallow wells near
spots where the discharges Oftyphoid
patients have been thrown upon the
ground and subsequently carried
down through the soil and to the
wells, and it is doubtless principally
this fact that accounts for the disease
being SO common in farming regions.

CHEACLE ON NEW PARTY.

The journal this week publishes a
statement from Judge +. X. Cheadle
on his stand relative to Il new politi-
cal party in Montana and the Nation.
He is of the opinion that it would be
unwiSe to form a new party at this
time. There is no stronger man in
the republican party today than Judge
Cheadle, and his opinion will have
considerable weight with the pro-
gressve republicans in the state.
The country today is facing Just as
grave a crisis us existed when Abra-
ham Lincoln was elected president.
The best means of meeting that crisis
has not yet fully developed, but be-
fore many weeks the campaign will
be on in full force and every man
must take stand. 1t is believed by
some that the progressives can carry
the republican state conventions, ana
in that event presidential electors
favorable to Roosevelt can be nomin-
ated. In that case a third party Or
ganiZntiOn in the state will not be
necessary. The Journal is firmly of
the opinion that the best method of
righting political wrongs is within
the two established parties. But this
takes time. The shorter method is to
form Il new party as was done in 1856.
On this subject the progressive repub-
licans are honestly divided.
The hope of the progressives of
wrestling the political machinery of
tie republican party in Montana
from the control of the Amalgamated
Copper company this fall is indeed Il
remote one. The big corporation is
too strongly intrenched to be dis
lodged in one campaign. Nothing
could do it except ii political revolu-
ton. There is no question that the
political sentiment throughout the
Nation today is smoldering volcano
ready to burst forth in tremendous
fury. Ii the honest voters of both
parties in Montana could be sufficient
ly aroused. the upheaval would take
place this fall. But the average
American citizen is constantly look
ing for the shady side of easy street,
and it is hard to arouse him to the
lighting point. If he could be aroused,
the progressives would carry the COM
ing state convention. or Il third party
would sweep the state Oh November
81. -
ing the civic conscience. Such men
:as Judge f. X. Cheadle, Senator N.Y.
ers, ". Ii. Smith and hundreds of
other eloquent and influential repub-
licans can do it within the reWlb-
lican party ranks, if they would agree
to sacrifice their time and money for
purely patriotic purposes.
