RADIO AID FOR
 AIRPLANES NOW
New Apparatus Installed Which May Combat
 Bad Weather

CHICAGO, March 18.-Practical application of radio as a means of solving aviation's greatest difficulty, bad weather, has been made by the National Air Transport with the installation of directional and sound radioing sets on planes.
 Following tests of one year and half, planes on the New York and Cleveland divisions have been equipped with apparatus and in- stallation on planes in other diyi- sions are planned.
 Two types of transmitters are used in controlling the course of a plane to aid on keeping it on a course. The pilot receives signals from beacons. These signals are concentrated in one direction by means of loop transmitters and de- viation from the planes course changes the intensity of the sig nals on longer wave length.
 The pilot also receives hourly weather reports through voice transmitters.

To Reorganizc Government

ID hEOTSdDtLC oDftihiAiths
 The measure, which is Senate Bill No. 35, is entitled, "A Bill for An Act to reorganize the Executive Department of Alaska, creating the office of Auditor, Treasurer and Board of Control and defining their functions and declaring an emer- gency."
 The reorganization consists main- ly, it seems, in bestowing on the Auditor the present Territorial du- ties vested in the office of Secre- tary of Alaska, and giving those now vested in the Governor to the Board of Control.
 The first auditor is to be chosen by the present Legislature, during the session, if the bill becomes oper- ative before final adjournment, otherwise after adjournment. He will hold office until March l, 1881 being succeeded by an auditor to be elected at the general election in November, 1880 His salary is fixed at S5000 per year. And the term is for four years.
 The Treasurer, it is provided, also will be elected by the present Legis- lature in the same manner as pre- scribed for the auditor, and there after by popular election every four years beginning at the general election of 1880.

though they might stretch it a little in
telling yarns to the tenderfeet. AS To
the Indians liver, he always claimed
he didn't eat it. Once there was a

Fighter Got Scared Out
once (Uncle Billy Hamilton was
on a drunk and was lying in a room,
stripped naked. Some fellow came
into the bar and was making a big
noise about what a fighter he was.
All Of a sudden Hamilton was in the
doorway with a big butcher knife
in his hand; Where is that fighter
he yelled. But the fighter had taken
out for the other side of Coulson.
Some of the pioneers who saw the
most of real adventures, say the least
about it. You can't get Joe Cochran,
my son-in-law, to say a word about
it but he went through more than
most of them. He had a lot of close
calls with the Nez PerceS and two men
on his place were killed when they
went through. Joe was in Cedar can
yon getting out logs and some Ne1
Perces came across for a parley. They
pretended to be Grows and motioned
for him to come up. But Joe and the
other men backed up to their guns
and started shooting and the Indians
left.
Afterwards, he was a scout for Gen
eral Miles and after the surrender at
the Bear Paw mountains carried the
dispatches alone to Cow island. Joe
bought a watch from a Nee Perez, who
had surrendered, which he had gotten
from a Sioux. 1t, was a gift to Lieu
tenant Crittenden from his father and
had been taken by the Sioux when
Crittenden was killed with Custer. Joe
sent the watch to Crittenden's folks.
They said they would give him any
price he wanted for it but he said it
hadn't cost him much and he was glad
to send it back.
They sent him a costly pocketbook,
anyway
