BUYS s15,ooo.oo FARM

Last Wednesday a deal contemplating
an exchange Of properties which has been
pending for some time between William
H. Gieseke and Herman Kuehnel was
finally consummated. This means an
exchange Of the well-known Kuehnel
farm in Nicollet county adjoining the
city for the livery barn property of
Mr.. Gieseke in this city. In the transac-
ton Mr.. Gieseke purchases the Kuehnel
farm of $50 acres at the rate of Shopper
acre and Mr.. Kuehnel pays $500 for
the Gieseke livery barn real property.
Mr.. Gieseke retains the ownership of
the livery and will conduct this for the
present, having reserved lease on the
property for the next three years. 1t
is not Mr.. Gieseke's intention to continue
the livery business for any length OF
time and he will sell it as soon as good
opportunity presents itself and will then
devote his whole time to managing the
farm which he bought.

I met Lincoln Writ, the Alaskan
nero, at the Bowdoin Club the other
day. His name means little to most
readers of the Herald, but there are
parts of the world where no name is
more highly respected. DR.. Writ has
long string of letters after his name
that have been given him by the great
scientific and geographic bodies of
this country and Europe, but the great
work of this quiet and modest little
Californian was accomplished in Alas.
ka where he was territorial. superin.
tendent of education in the years fol-
lowing the discovery of gold there
He established the public schools that
are nearest the North Pole and also
established the first hospital in North
ern Alaska. But the thing that made
him honored as hero in all that great
territory was his wonderful journey
of 1000 miles southwark over un.
tracked snow and ice, in the dead of
an Arctic night, to get relief for dis.
ease-infested camp on the shores of
Behring Strait. The. story of that
journey, with only dog team and Es.
kimo companions, with its hardships
and almost starvation, and it's dangers
from wolves, a treacherous guide, Els.
kimos who had never seen white
man before, and the icy mountain
slopes, is one of the most thrilling
chapters in the whole long story of
adventure and pioneering. They tell
1t in Alaska with ever increasing won
der that he ever had the strength and
pluck to reach his goal, when even his
faithful dogs died on the way, of hard
ship and hunger.-Robert Lincoln

F. H. Retzlaff has returned home from
the Minnesota Retail Implement Deal
ers Convention held the latter part of
last week at the West Hotel in Mime
apolis. Mr.. Retzlaf was elected Presi-
dent of the association last year and pre-
sided at the meetings which we're attend
ed by more than thousand dealers from
all over the state. The convention came
to order Tuesday morning at o'clock.
A reception was given to members and
visitors by Pres. Retzlaff assisted by the
ex-presidents of the Association preced-
ing the formal address and the general
business of the session. The morning
was chiefly given over to reports of
committees and the opening of question
box. No work was done during the after
noon except the organization of commit
tees for the new work in hand and in the
evening an illustrated lecture was given
for the diversion of convention members.
The subject of the lecture was trip
from Minneapolis to Yellowstone Nation
al Park and thru it. Wednesday w. E.
Taylor of Moline, Ill. delivered splen-
did address on Implements and their
Relation to Tillage." Mr.. Retzlaff de-
scribes this address as one of the finest
he ever heard. 1t was followed by de-
bate between retail men and jobbers
on the question care the Manufac-
turers and Jobbers guilty Of crowding
territory and overstocking dealers?"
In the evening an illustrated lecture
'sThe Dawn of Plenty" took the nipple
ment men back to the days when the
earth was young and showed them the
crude implements with which men had
labored to wiring from the soil living
and carried them down thru all the years
showing the vast improvements made
among civilized people in handling the
work of tilling the soil and the contrasts
between the implements of the nations
of Asia and Africa with those used in
Europe and America. This was in
tensely interesting to the convention
members.
Thursday the business of the session
was continued with addresses on the
value of the association and local deal
ers clubs and followed by the election
of officers and reports Of committees.
The new president will be Caspar Wack-
man of Detroit, MINI. and Mr.. Retz-

The Redwood Falls contingent gave
an example of class and school spirit. by
the vigor Of their class yells and showed
the value of concerted effort. New Ulm
High School is somewhat lacking in this
spirit Of intense class and school loyalty,
probably due to the fact that the school
has never taken a strong stand for the
more vigorous athletics. Class spirit
will do wonders if properly directed and
developed and since the girls and boys
now have school home that they may
be very proud and happy in we look to
see growing appreciation of their ad-
vantages. Ia
The music of the evening was furnished
by the High School orchestra under the
direction of Capt. Hofmeister and the
Girls Glee Club.

NAVY Is READY TO BUILD
AER0PLANE FACTORIES
Planning Also to Construct Small
Dirigible to Be Carried
Aboard Ships.

Congressional approval is all that is
needed for the establishment of govern
ment aeroplane- ne-manufacturing plants
at Philadelphia and New York. Plans
for such factories have been prepared
by the Navy Department, each to cost
about $4,000 and each capable of turn
ing out two or three machines a month
at cost OF about $4,000 apiece.
Though the War Department some
years ago purchased small dirigloie
balloon, army officials have never felt
warranted in developing that type OF air
craft and have concentrated all their ef-
forts on the aeroplanes. The navy, how
ever, is about to embark on set OF
experiments to determine the availability
Of the dirigible for use on shfpboard. The
ability of That kind of air craft to hover
for long period over one spot. such
as the entrance to harbor or near a
parent batteship, is believed 70 be d
valuable feature.
Specifica tons have been prepared for
such machine, upon which propose is
will be invited. BY comparison with the
giant Zeppelns of Germany, this will be
a miniature air craft, with length OF
i115 feet, height of fifty feet and a
width of thirty-five feet. 1t will be able
| to lift ton in addition to its crew and
supplies of oil or gasoline and will have
! a speed of twenty five miles an hour for
| two hours.
The designers have had in mind plans
for the quick disassembling OF TINS airsn[
and its conveyance in small separate

the naval transports, or even on bat

BEACHY THRILLED CAPITAL.
Daring Aviator Appeared Several
Times in Washington Flights.

Lincoln Beachey was we'll known in
Washington. where he appeared several
times in aerial stunts that took the
breath of watching thousands. He first
attracted attention here in 1906, when
IN his original dirigible balloon he
flew the length of Pennsylvania avenue
from the Treasury to the Capitol and
circled the dome of the Capitol several
! times. The flight on that occasion was
made in small dirigible of Beachey's
own construction, and he afterward
built machines of the same type, con-
slderably larger. with which he gave
exhibitions here and at many places
throughout the United States
Later he took up aviation work with
biplanes ana monoplanes. and while in
Variably disclaiming any intention of
appearing to be a daredevil, he per-
formed many feats IN the air that were
as thrilling as any ever seen in this or
any other country.
Last fall Beachey gave fight in
Washington that eclipsed anything
ever seen here. The morning of Sep
| tender IS, in a small biplane, he looped
the loop half dozen times over the
Capitol. repeated the feat over the State
War and Navy building and the White
House, and then, apparently losing con-
troll of his machine while at an eleva.
tion of nearly 1900 feet, shot toward
the earth. to right the machine and
land lightly bird. after watching
thousands believed he was falling to
instant death.
AT that time Il report was sent out
contradicted a few moments later, that
Beachey had lost his life while per-
forming his evolutions
This flight, starting at the White
House ellipse and finishing on the polo
field at Potomac Park, was one of the
most spectacular exhibitions Beachey
ever gave anywhere. 1t was given at
the aviator's own expense. as a demon
stration for the benefit of members of
Congress. the War and Navy Depart
ment officials. and others. of the prac-
ticability of the aeroplane and it's
safety and manageability when handled
by an expert.
President Wilson watched the cork
screw and somersaulting evolutions
high in the air from the south front
of the White House
In a statement to a reporter for The
Star after the flight Beachey declared
that no aviator who kept his head un-
der all conditions was ever in danger of
/ accident. Every catastrophe. he said,
| in which the aviator lost his life could
be attributed to the fact that at the
/ crucial moment the airman for an in
slant lost control not alone of his ma
! chine. but of himself.
Man. in a well constructed aero
plane, can fly under any weather con-
| ditions,"r Mr.. Beachey asserted. He
| can purposeIy lose control of his craft,
| and then regain control before crash
! ing to the earth"
| Apparently, it was while performing 6
| this feat at San Francisco that Beachey
! failed to regain control of his aero
plane, some undiscovered weakness in
| the construction of the monoplane re-
! sulting in the collapse of the machine
and the death of the aviator in San
| Francisco bay.
