Sensational Flights In Hydro.Aeroprane.

Frank Coffyn, young Southerner has
been making some extremely sensational
flights over New York city in his hydro
aeroplane, a machine which alights or
starts on either land or water. His fight
Tuesday included dips underneath both
Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. After
passing over them at a height Of 700 or
500 feet, he made a wide turn which
carried him over the Brooklyn Navy
Yard. Then swinging gracefully over
the East River. he volplaned to the Man
haitian bridge. passing under 1t close to
the water. Again he rose and executed
a similar dip under the Brooklyn bridge.
The first volplane man9uvre was so
steep that 1t appeared as II Coffyn had
lost control Of his machine.

Two Chicago men were talking of the
fortune OF a third when one said:
- HE made his first lucky strike in
eggs. He bought 10000 dozen at a low
figure. put them in cold storage and sold
them at profit OF more than 800 per
cent. That was the corner stone OF his
present fortune"

creased from $155 150.40 last year to $780,

Parochlal School Question Up Again.

The question of the Roman Catholic
church establishing a parochjal school in
Bellows Falls is being seriously agitated
again. There has never been such a
school here. Soon after Bishop Rice be-,
came the head of the church in Vermont
two years ago, he ordered the local church
to esta blish the school, but the move
ment met with strong opposition upon
the part of some of the most prominent
members who would be affected, and
after discussing 1t some months the
matter was dropped During that time
the town voted to sell them the old high
school building on Cherry street for
1900 or If they would take a deed
which provided that in case 1t was not
used for school purposes 1t should revert
TO the town, the town would accept
$4,000 The building as it stands today
would cost over $4,000 to build, besides
the land. At the present time 1t is es-
timated that of the 1000 pupils in the
Bellows Falls school about 300 probably
would be taken by the parochal school.
Notice has been given by Rev Father
Reynolds that the subject will be dis
cussed at parish meeting after mass
Sunday morning, and the town officials
have been requested to withhold posting
the warrant for the coming town meet
ing until Monday to give them an oppor-
tunity to insert any article they may
decide upon in regard to the matter. 1t

GRAFTON


seldom has sGrafton felt as deep
sorrow as in the death of Annie Walker
Kendall. The service in the Congrega-
tional church here Monday following the
funeral in Bellows Falls, was a tribute
of affection and mourning from the en-
tire village, which shares in the grief of
husband and family. The burial took
place in. the local cemetery, the bearers
being the four cousins, Park, Herman,
Stuart and Kenneth Farrar. Rev. A. z.
Pratt, of whose church Mrs. Kendall was
a member, spoke Of the ,inspira ton Of
her life for all those who were privileged
to know her adding the words of Barrie
that the gates of heaven swing very
easily for the pure in spirit" Here in
Grafton, where Mrs Kendalrs girlhood
was spent, her life, in it's nobility and
sweetness, will still be an influence now
that it has become a memory.

E. O.. BAKER HOMESTEAD
CONTEST NEARING

Before leaving for the east this
week. E.O. Baker. postmaster at Emer
son, had to defend a contest at the
Dickinson U. S. land Office which had
been started by VIM. HeenstIa. Mr..
Bakers homestead is within q half
mile of Emerson and i. is alleged that
he had not resided continuously upon
the land or made the required improve
ments.
A number of witnesses e ex-
amined. The local land Office has not
given a decision YET. It is said the
matter is being watched with consider
able interest. Mr.. Baker understands
that by virtue Of his being postmastes
he did not have. to make residence on
the land. Mr.. Heenstra contends that
this ruling has been modified and that
Nj. Baker is too late to get the credit
for residence on account Of his govern
ment position.
Mr.. Heenstra is q relative Of the Z.
Ia. Watkins family.
7. F. Murtha Is attorney for Mr..
eeenstra and +. A. Simpson for Nj.

Mandan had its first viaduct acci-
dent only four days otter it was COM
pleted. AS a man and his wife were
crossing in a buggy the horse became
afraid of the rumbline of the train
underneath and backed down the en-
bankment. throwing the occupants out.
Neither were seriously injured but it
was a narrow escape. This accident is
a warning to all who cross such places.
At Dickinson the matter of a viaduct or
subway for the crossing on Third Ave.
W. has been under consideration for
some time. and judging from the Man
dan experience il would look as though
the subway was much the safer plan.

the FOREST RESERVES
ARE BEING Cut DOWN

President Taft has just made ccnsid-
cradle changes in National Forests in
Montana, Arizona; Nevada. Utah and
California through presidential procla-
nations modifying the boundary lines.
BY these changes nearly 275, 600 acres
of land r eliminated from the forests.
about IS, 600 acres are added. and about
IS. 600 acres are transferred between
two forests, while a new forest is ere a.
ted by the division of an old unit into
two.
The net result is to bring down the
total gross area of the National Forests
is about 1877, 400. 600 acres. of which
nearly 81, 900. 900 acres are in Alaska.
To a considerable extent, however, the
reductions, so far as land actually own
ed by the government is concerned. are
apparent rather than real. owing to
heavy alterations in the tracts elimina-
ted. Some ~. 600, 600 acres of the
National Forest gross area are not own
ed by the government.
The high water mark of the National
Forest gross area was reached in 1909.
when the forest boundaries included
over 1874. 600, 600 acres. 1t was then
realized, however, that in making the
examinations on which the presidential
proclamations creating the forests were
based, the work had been too rapid to
insure in all cases the best boundaries.
Sometimes land which should have been.
included was left out, while at other
times land was taken in which was not
best suited to forest purposes.
Consequently a complete overhauling
and recti6cation of the forest boundar-
les was planned, and has been going on
ever since. By successive proclama-
lions President Taft has eliminated
nearly II '0O0. 600 acres. while he has
added about 1000. 600 acres.
In Montana, the new proclamations
eliminate a total of 116. $40 acres from
six forests-the- Custer. Absaroka,
Blackfeet, Kootenai. Lewis and Clark
and F1athead-while 1850 acres are
transferred from the Blackfeet to the.
Kootenai and 40. $40 from the Kootenai
to the Blackfeet, to facilitate admins
t%ration. In Arizona 100. $40 acres are
eliminated from the Coronado National
Forest. In Nevada 49.s40 acres are
eliminated from the Humboldt and
IS, $40 acres added, Of which IL. 800
acres are included IN the new Ruby Ma
%tional Forest, composed principally Of
that part Of the old Humboldt lying
south Of the Southern Pacific railroad.
In Utah I. $40 acres are eliminated from
the SEWER, while In California |. $50
acres are added to the Shasta and 48o
acres TO the Klamath
