AiRSHIPS IN WAR.
IN Some Ways They Are More Effective
Than Aeroplanes.

IN Some Ways They Are More Effective
Than Aeroplanes.
While the airship is clumsier and
slower moving than the aeroplane, 1t
has its own special uses In war. In
AIR Craft In the Great War;" by
Claude Grahame- White and Harry
Hooper, is this:
"There are three points in favor OF
the airship, and none should be over
looked. She can remain In the air
many hours if required; even, in an
emergency, for several days. And In
this respect she has the advantage Of
the aeroplane. She can hover, too,
above a given spot, her machines
stopped and her car motionless. This
is of value in detailed observations,
and here again she has the advantage
of the aeroplane, which can not hover.
"a third merit Of the airship, and
again useful one. is that she can ny
safely at night. This provides her
with many uses in time Of war. Aero
planes can fly at night, too, but only
at grave FISK. IL u uOlOT LdllS, 1hu
the air man has to descend, darkness
prevents him from choosing landing
ground, and he may crash into wall
OF hedge, or the side Of house, or find
himself in the tree tops Of wood.
"Hovering at the rear OF her own
lines, and fitted with powerful wire
less plant. the airship can remain aloft
from dawn until dusk, her observers
watching constantly the enemy's battle
front, and signaling, while the news
has value, any change they may notice
in the position of the troops. For de-
structive raids, particularly at night.
the airship has grim potentiality.
1.-THE point to be borne in mind. the
fact that governs the use Of an airship
in war, Is that in a clear sky during
daylight, and away from the protection
Of her own guns or planes, she Is large,

It is; the weight would be prohibitive.

Assistant State Engineer Sar-

Commissioner Sundell, when in

grade on the new two mile piece OF
road extending southwark from
Hall Greek to the front Of the
Rogers hill, on the Iron River
Barnes road. The right-of-way
was cut out last spring, but nothing
more was done on it this season but
next year it is the intention to COM
plete the highway.
A special train of twenty cars,
carrying over 5000 head of sheep to
the Chicago market, will be shipped
out of Iron River tomorrow. and
this will constitute the largest single
shipment of sheep ever made from
this part Of the state.
The shippers will be Lie. Piper,
Fritz L. and NJ. L. Carlson and Val
entine Depta, and while there will
be in the neighborhood of 1000 head
of native stock, the greater part of
the lot will be made up of Montana

finishing upon the cut over lands.

Find that They Do Well on
Bayfield, Co. Lands
Over 5000 Shipped Out of
Iron River Last Week
to Chicago.

What is perhaps one Of the
biggest shipments of sheep that
has ever gone out of northern
Wisconsin to the markets left
Iron River last Friday afternoon
over the Northern Pacific rail-
way. Something over 5000
head of sheep were in the ship
ment, a large portion of which
were northern Wisconsin stock
raised by Bayfield, county ranch
ers, while the balance were
feeders shipped in by Montana
ranchers and were fattened on
the fertile grass lands of the
north Wisconsin region for a
short period while enroute from
the west to the Chicago markets.
The feeding of sheep in this
region has left a valuable lesson
and it is likely that in future
years the grass lands of northern
Wisconsin will become the feed
ing grounds for thousands of
sheep during the latter part of
the season.
Fritz L. Carlson, the Orienta
rancher who has made such a
success Of sheep raising, was
instrumental in getting the
Montana rancher to try out the
experiment of feeding on north
Wisconsin lands and the ranch
ers of Montana are well pleased
with results.
The lambs and sheep brought
in this year have not only put
on the weight lost while in tran
sit from the west but have also
put on additional weight which
will we'll pay the ranchers for
the experiment.

"Like a Thousand Of Brick"

Years ago, in city and country,
common phrase to indicate retribution
for wrong, real or fancied, was, III
come down on him like a thousand OF
BRICK" but this threat seems inslg-
nificant in the light Of an assertion by
Jefferson Middleton OF the united
States geological survey. that during
the year 1912 more than million
thousand brick were used in Greater
New York, and that nearly all were
manufactured in the kilns along botn
sides of the lower Hudson river.
The total production in this region
was 1,O19,259,OoO. valued at $5'74 =
! thousand, a total Of $5,S5O,77O. as
I against 926,072,000. valued at $5.09 q
thousand In 1911, total Of $4,7l7.6S3'
making an increase OF production IN
1912 over that Of 1911 of 92.lS7,Ooo
brick and $1,133,137 in value.
For several years before the use OF
cement or concrete in construction ap
peared to be displacing brick to some
extent, but now according to Mr.. MID
dleton, there is a distinct movement
back to brick caused by large al
yertising by brickmakers, the failure
OF some concrete buildings and I'm
provement in the quality OF Hudsol
river brick.
