The model car still needed a means Of
regaining an upright position after
rounding a curve. So two. tops were 90
mounted that they could spin freely in
two planes thus becoming horoscopes.
The car now balanced perfectly and
seemed to defy all the laws Of nature.

smoothly as an automobile rolling along

Do you marvel that the Importance of
sue b q wonderful invention was once
recognizedf No longer will trains be
crowded, the Mono-rail car could handle
the crowds so prominent at the big
railway terminals better than any
known form of transportation to-day. It
takes from four to six months for the
farmers around Dickinson ia. place
their crops upon the distant markets.
partly because of bad roads, partly be-
cause Of poor railroad service. Mono
rail system could be build through
farming territory more easily than
steam or electric roads and would pro-
vide such transportation facilities
that the crops could be completely dis
posed of in one or two months. The
prosperity of the country would immedi-
ately increase. The road question
is the most serious problem confront
ing the people today.
The actual cost of construction of
such q car is not much less than that
of the car today. Though but one rail
is used, it must be very heavy and laid
on a ballasted roadbed. However. road
construction will be simplified in the
mountains. as the car will make very
sharp curves and steep inclines. doing
away with much of the tunneling now
necessary. The m6no-rail car will
also furnish a means of safe and rapid
transit. If the motive power becomes
disabled, the horoscopes because Of
their momentum will hold the car steady
for some time. and if either gyroscope
breaks the other will hold the car
steady long enough for the passengers
to alight.
The inventor says the car of the
future will be two hundred feet long.
thirty feet wide and will have accom-
modations equal to those furnished by
the best hotels. The jolting and sway
ing so noticeable in the train of today
will be entirely eliminated, and a
speed of two hundred miles an hour
will be attained. In a few years we
may reasonably expect to 60 from New
York 10 San Francisco in a little more
than a day in the speedy, safe, and
comfortable mono-rail Cal.

distance lends enchantment to our
view" This adage has for many cen
turtles spurred man on from one place to
another with an everlasting hope of
Gaining wealth and competence. Amer
lean history is full of instances, in
which some supposed leader of the
people, has led them to some distant
seemingly golden territory, only to find
that they had left q better n behind
them. We are at present On the verge
of such q crisis in our w locality
we need some captain of industry with
the cry Cast down your buckets where
you are, to call our attention to the
possibilities lying at our very door to
divert our minds from distant specu-
lation to opportunities near at hand.
Twenty-three years ago the territory
of North Dakota became a state. 1t is
unnecessary to review the progress Of
the past or to tell Of the feeling of pride
that exists 10 every citizens heart.
But we have not, by far, reached the
zenith of industrial development. A
glance at some of the natural resources
is enough to convince the most scepti.
