The feat was accomplished without mis

"It was easy enough..!, think the trick
could be successfully turned nine limes out

Kly'a flight was a feature of the program
of the aviation meet which Is In progress
here.
Adverse weather had caused Its post
ponement from day to day, but when Ely
reached Selfrldge Field this morning, be at
once decided to make a try for It. The
day was smoky, but windless and the air
was heavy.

after a few try-out circles he headed north

In Die meantime the wireless had notl
fled tahe crlaer at anchor with the fleet in
the bay. that he would make the attempt
an dflnal preparations were made for his
reception. A wooden platform 1.10 feet and
fifty feet wide, had been constructed over
the after deck of the ship. It sloped gently
aft and across the fleer were stretched
ropes with 100-pound sandbags made fast
at either end. These were destined to be
caught by hooks on the lower framework
of the biplane.
As a further precaution a canvas barrier
was stretched across the forward end of
tho platform. Launches and ships' boats,
fully manned, were put out In event of a
mishap. Ely had Installed two seven-foot
pontoons under his aeroplen to flot the
machine in case he was forced to descend
on the water, and forward he had built
a hydroplane to keep the aeroplane from
diving. '
.' At 10:r8 the lookortt on the Pennsylvania
sighted Ely through the haze and the
ship's siren roared a blast of welcome, lie
came on at a terrific Heed and a moment
later circled around tha fleet, dipping In
salute to each ship, and came up In the
wind for the stern of the Pennsylvania.
He was flying as he nearcd the ship, and
dropped down as lightly as a gull, striking
the platform about forty feet from the
end. The hooks which had been ar
ranged In the centerpieces of the aero
plane did their work perfectly and the
airship was brought to a standstill within
twenty-five feet.

When Ely touched the deck he was going
at the rate of about thirty-five mllea an
hour, but so gradually was the speed
checked by the dragging of the sand bags

he came to a standstill without disar
ranging any part of the machine.
Ely was tuken below to the captain's
cabin, where he was the guest at luncheon.
In the meantime his machine had been
turned around, the hook on the bottom of
the centerpiece removed and- the gasoline
replenished.
In exactly one hour from the time he
landed Ely took his seat in the machine

by Senator Hoi ah of Idaho In opposition.
Mr. Burrows atrongly commended the
course of Mr. Ixirlmer In demanding Hn In

Both addresses were sharply analytical
and both went at length into the testi

statements of witnesses, but their deduc

Notable men from over the west and a
great host of human beings assembled In
the Auditorium amidst a setting cf scento
splendors at the opening of the Omaha
I .and Show last night. It was veritably a
gathering of tho whole wrst. In products
of the country and big personalities, be-

empire of the west.
Gov ci nor Aldrich of Nebraska figured as
the principal speaker, with n glowing anil
instructive address, lie was preceded and
followed by big men of Omaha and of the
country stretching between hern and the
Pacific ocean.
All Omaha and tho towns of the agri
cultural regions tributary turned out wil h
a niiisHcd representation of men, women
and children.
Musi.- and entertnlnmcnt of varied de
scription formed the diversion.
The monster affair bad Its opening with
a subtle fired from the roof of the Audi
torium. . C. HiKi nalrr Itrswond.
"This exposition Is something more than
a show." said ('. C. Rosrwater. general
manager of the show, In his response. "It
Is more than a mere collection of the best
products of the west-it is more than a
great object lesson In the best methods of
agriculture. Its management did not start
It for tho purpose of getting Into t ho show
business or to attract people to Omaha to
otrHn,z0 ollr Bl,.P!, ,, hotels. The oh-
Ject of this exposition Is to meet a vital
problem to stem the tide of emigration to
the north and to the south and to direct It
to tbe westward. It has been the policy of
our publications, The Omaha Bee and Tha
Twentieth Century Farmer, to devote a
large amount of space to the purpose of
directing the eyes of the corn belt toward
the opportunities In the west. Knowing the
advantage of an exposition for the purpose
ziitlons; the immense power of publicity
through other publications and newspapers,
this exposition waa organized to further
this publicity not a purpose developed In
order to give a standing to the exposition.
"Wo of the old and of the new west hava
none but the friendliest feeling toward our
Canadian nelghbora. We do not desire to
array section against section, and hava
none but tho best feeling toward the won
derful progress made by the new south
west. We have, however, our own inter
ests to protect, and the whole west must
stand together. Purlng the last year over
loo.ono American farmers left their homes
and went to Canada. Thousands and
thousands of dollars of American money
have been Invested in Canadian land. From
this section doubtless many have gone tn
Oklahoma and to Texas during the last
decade and thousands of dollars from tha
: middle west have been Invested In the
south.
(ireat Moles tn the West.
"In Montaana and In Washington there
Is as good If not belter wheat land as In
Canada. In Colorado. In I'tah and In Cali
fornia there are better opportunities than
In Texas and In Oklahoma. Every west
ern state offers the investor and the sal
tier with small capital the same chance
that was given to the pioneers of Nebraska
and Iowa. The star of the empire has
taken Its course westward throughout the
history of our country. The natural tend
ency has been for the people to move
across the continent. In general, due west
ward. The people of Virginia settled Ken
tucky, the poople of Kentucky pushed on
Into Mihsouii, and tlie Missourlans In their
turn have been making new homes in
Arkansas, New Mexico and In Arizona.
"In Nebraska you will find more people
from Iowa. Illinois and Ohio than from
any other slates. The great railroad trunk
