John Wise. the first aeronaut
IL the United States. was born on
this date log years ago today. He
began experimenting in P1iladel-
phia in 1888 and in the fall OF
1897 discovered that while passing
through a thunder cloud the cords
Of his balloon gave forth musical
sounds and ne heard voices on
earth when he was a mile above II.
Twice in 1s43 he asked congress
for appropriations for crossing the
Atlantic in a balloon. and alter
tried TO get its aid in building air
ships from which explosives could
be thrown at an enemy on land or
sea. Up TO 1859 he had made 23O
ascensions. Sept IS. 1879. he as
cended from ST. Louis and never
returned. The body OF one men,

NOW

Today. although the Atlantic is
still uncrossed by airship or fly
ing machine. the belief that the
trip will be accomplished this year
is widespread Rodman Wanna
maker is building an aeroboat
which he expects will fly
from Newfoundland TO Ireland in
less than "a hours. and others are
in the field for the $4,000 prize
offered by Lord Northcliffe for he
first aerial voyage across the At
lantic.
An even more ambitious project
calls for an aeroplane trip around
the world in connection with the
Panama-Pacific exposition. \
route has already been mapped out,
a sum of 100000 proposed as
prizes, and a number of aviators
have indicated their eagerness to
participate in the race.

LAIR MOTOR CO.
take BIG CONTRACT
BISMARCK FIRM BUYS LARGEST
ALTO CONTRACT IN STATE.

For the season of 1915, just start
ing, the Lair Motor Sales company
Of this city have contracted for $50
Overland cars. This is the largest
automobile contract ever written in
the State. of North Dakota and is
more evidence of the rapid growth Of
this local firm. ts
In 1912 Mr.. Lair sold eight Over
land cars, in 1913 43 Overland cars,
and in the season just past, 1914, 131
Overland cars. Mr.. Lair attributes
a great deal of his success in the in
~creasing of Overland sales to the fact
that his firm has made special efforts
in the way of extending service to
Overland owners, and that this ef1-
cient service makes boosters out of
all Overland owners and thereby
helps to make lore sales.
Upon signing the 1915 Overland
contract the Lair Motor Sales COM
.pany gained control of the sale of
Overland cars from Kidder county
west to Rosebud, Montana, which in
cludes Miles City, and extending
from the South Dakota line north to
Ward county. In order to properly
handle this large territory and extend
their usual service to owners they
have opened a branch house at Glen
dive, with Mr.. R. "A. Defy, formerly
of Waterloo, Iowa, as manager. A
stock of cars and repair parts, as
we'll S a retail stock of all automo-
bile supplies, will be carried at this
branch.
