ENGLE WANTS AIR
CRAFT FOR PARKER

C. A. Engle, construction engineer
Of the Indian irrigation service of the
government, is of the opinion that
the aeroplane will be of great prac-
teal value in western desert eng1n-
eering work. Mr.. Engle, who has
charge Of the work of the project be-
ing constructed at Parker for the In
dians, conducted a series of tests
with flying machine at Domininguez
field, near Los Angeles, last Sunday
and Monday, and following these
tests he announced, according TO
Los Angeles paper, that 1e will
make d commentator 80 the Unit
ed States irrigation se,vice in Wash
jnSton tbat the use of aeroplanes be
undertaken in his work Mr.. Engle
is quoted as follows in the Examiner:
THE time has arrived" said En-
gle yesterday after his flight, when
the aeroplane is ready for practical
use. l believe it would save both
time and money in the work I am
doing on the Colorado river l shall
recommend that a machine be plac-
ed at my service, l could use it to
great advantage between Parker and
Needles and in crossing and recross-
ing the Colorado
"The aeroplane is more practical
than most people believe. 1t has been
used so much for exhibition purpo-
ses where the operator creates haz-
ardous conditions that its safety has
not been demonstrated l learned to
fly two years ago, and | should feel
just as safe now in an aeroplane az
| do driving an automobile across the
desert The possibility of accident
would not be greater There are, in
fact, many dangers that could be av-
oiGed by the use of an aeroplane in
the desert country
Continuing the Examiner says:
''Mr Engle's plan is the first serious
attempt to use the aeroplane for
ether than spectacular or military
purposes. If successful it promises
70 mark an important step in the
progress of aviation toward a useful
and practical art.
"Mr. Engle has just completed an
irrigation system which will supply
10000 acres of rich land on the Colo
rado river reservation with water.
The land has been allotted to the In
dians. 1t is proposed to extend this
system to include 15O, 900 acres of the
richest land in the West which will
then to be thrown open to white Set
tiers.
Another project under way is the
building of levee at Needles to
protect 10000 acres of land from the
flood waters there. This levee is to-
contain 10000 cubic yards of earth"

He will have stationed on the noun
tain peaks along the picturesque
rocky range just back of the unique
log hotel ut Glacier Park station, a
score Of men who at given signal
will touch of several tons Of red,

of Long-Time-Sleep, a full-blooded

HENRY LANIUS
UTTERS THREATS

Henry Lanius drove into the city
Thursday to look after his political
interests. OF course you all know that
Henry's ranch is out here about five
miles and until his political aspira-
tiOns ran away with him Judith Gap
was his town.
He hove into view with Il big bunch
Of posters favoring county division.
After his protracted stay in foreign
parts he did not know Of the feeling
here in favor Of county division. but
at once opened up with the threat that
he and Harlow were going to have u
new county and Il county job even if
they had to leave Judith Gap in
Meagher county connected with
White Sulphur Springs by narrow
strip along the Belt mountains.
A good fat job looks pretty good to
any man, but when he has to come
among his neighbors and townsmen
with threats Of dire things to come
unless they acquiesce in his Judgment,
it is time for the people 10 take cog
nizance of the fact that I4anius is
looking for job with good salary
and does not care Il snap for county
division or anything else.
1t is generally known fact that
if Henry c. Lanius had been given u
job and kept busy at things other
than county division and self aggran-
dizement that county division would
have gone off smoothly. He has come
to Judith Gap early in the morning.
many mornings, and has talked cOun-
ty division and the situation at Har-
lowton together with considerable
hearsay, and has gone to Harlowton
in the afternoon telling of the situa-
tion at Judith Gap. He, with bis
| tale-bearing, has created strife and
i'll feeling among men who are fight
ing for the same cause-county diyi-
sion and the good of the people.

It Pays to Advertise.

Now and then a man is found who,
with more or less bOastfulness. says
that he "neyer reads ads in newspa-
pers." Perhaps he actually imagines
that he does not read the advertisers
cards. Nevertheless it is not in the
nature Of All intelligent. wideawake
man to fail to peruse at least a por-
ton of the advertising columns of
his newspaper. Even though he may
not desire to make purchases, nor to
gather particular information about
Hnancial or commercial matters, or
the doings in the stores. he Is quite
likely. after having disposed Of the
news matter, to find himself intent
upon those advertisements that ap.
peal to the eye Oh account of the at.
tractiveness of their typographical
arrangement. or by the announce.
ment that some article of immediate
personal need has been placed on sale
at u moderate price. 1t is, III fact,
safe to assert that the man or woman
who devotes fifteen minutes to the
reading of Il newspaper reads also
some of the advertisements therein.
