TIIE OMAHA SUNDAY "PEE: JUT A 23. 1911.
Niagara Falls, itself a mom wonderful
sight, haa bn the acme of some of the
moat marvellous acts especially of daring
M'W known to man, but never waa so
unique a conquering; of nature by man as
took placa at the falls on June 27, when
Uncoln Beaohey tirclrd over th Horse
shoe, swooped under the arches of the up
per steel bridge and down the gorge to the
whirlpool In the latent toninvaur f sci
ence, a biplane.
Beachey Is no amateur flyer. Home oi
his flights hava been hair-raising. Yet "It
waa the most exciting trip of my life." he
said after landing at Niagara Fall, unt.
Two hundred thousnml persons were
gathered at Che' falls to f ee the bird-man
la a heretofore untried feat. The occasion
reminded many of tlio days when fool
hardy adventurers tempted fate by going
over the falls, by trying: to swim the rap
Ids, or through the whirlpool; or. In years
'way back tn time, mtn and women walked,
ran, danced, or skipped across the open
mouthed chasm on a tightrope. The Inter
est shown ly. ttie crowd was the same;
the palpitation )hl the daring aviator be
sucked downward by treacherous and un
known air curenta were as throbblriK u
when thousnnds of eyes watched an In
trepid swimmer battering head nnd body
against the raging waves of tiie whirlpool.
Beachey'a performance was preceded by a
rush through the gorge rapids In a barrel
by "Bobby" Leach, who has now made
the trip five times. Each time he has
started from the Maid of the Mist lnnding
and heretofore his assistants have been on
hand to pull his barrel out with grappling
hooka when the gorKe rapids had been
passed. The other, day his barrel gained
such a momentum that he waa carried be
yond reach of hla men and on Into the
Whirlpool Kaplds. There he was tossed
and turned and flung about fearfully. To
make matters worse, his barrel weight
shifted, throwing the air vent out of gear,
and leaving a small hole through which
the water rushed. When the barrel
emerged from the vortex grappling hooks
were used to land It Ieach still lived,
although ha was taken to a hospital.
These attempts to display a superiority
over nature have been many and varied.
Perhaps the first man who ever traveled
to Niagara Falls with the avowed purpose
of performing a feat hitherto never at
tempted was 6am Patch, a mill hand em
ployed In a factory above Fawtucket Falls,
Rhode Island. He may have been Inspired
to his act by the beautiful legend current
among the Indians of the day that the
god of the falls demanded at least one life
a year, and that,' to enjoy the favor of
this god, the most beautiful maiden In the
tribe waa sent over the falls as a sacrifice.
Or his Inspiration may have come from
his presence In Niagara rails In September,
1R29, at which lime the condemned brig
Michigan waa sent over the cataract aftor
being loaded with panic stricken Wild ani
mal. ,
Dtvlax Into the Hirer.
At home Sam Patch, used to bathe with
companions and enyuge in high Jumping.
First he dovo from a bridge into a deep
pool; then, not satisfied wtlh such daring,
sought greater heights on the roofs of
nearby mill, in thin manner Patch de
veloped ability and ambition. Noticing the
enormous crowd which the destruction of
the Michigan took to the falls, he resolved
to profit by the excitement, lie built a
wooden towtr ninety feet high at the
water's edge, at the foot of the Biddie
staircase on Uoat Island. From a platform
on top of this' he leaped into the waters
of the lower- Niagara river. His act was
safely performed, but lie lost his life soon
afterward by a high dive lit llocliesler.
HlBtory does not show that' anyone
thought of Niagara . bulls as a scene of
notoriety or advertisement for thirty years
after Patch made his dive. Then, In June,
M. Blondin, a Frenchman, appeared
with hfs business manager; Harry Colcord,
and arranged for the falls as a background
or underground, as It were for his special
line of endeavor. Ilu 'announced' his in
tention of atretchlng a tight rope across the
gorge from Goat inland to the Canadian
baiik. At first he tViund few believers In
his feat. It waa said, he would never do it.
But he Inspired confidence by daily walking
Up and downf the guys of the old railway
suspension bridge, smoking a uigar. , in
June he stretched his rope at a place
known as White's l'leuhure Grounds. Ilia
Cable .was about 1,) feet .lona, and with
It came fully 30.UW feet of rope lor guys.
At first a sev en-e,lghilia inch ropo was car
ried across the gorge and it was thought,
when the cable had been drawn' to within
200 feet of the Canadian bank, that this
rope would not be strong enough to land
it. Blondin tied a rope about his body and
walked out on the. small rope and attached
another rope to the cable.
Blus
Wlr
Blondin established a reputation for him
self even before he walked across the gorKe.
For days he gave exhibitions at the pleas
ure grounds, performing wonderfully on a
wire. . Finally, at S o'clock on the afternoon
of June 10, 1S5S. he started out on the cable
from the American side. When about 100
feet out he sat down, lay on his back,
stood on one foot, and then renamed his
trip. He' repeated this by-play many
time. At one time the Maid of the Mist
came up the river, loaded with passengers.
Blondin dropped a cord to the deck and
pulled up a bottle, from vtUch he drank.
Then, leaping to his feet. ' without touching
bis hands to the cable, he - continued his
walk to the Canadian cliff. . He waa on
the rope eighteen minutes. Half an hour
After finishing this trip he walked on the
cable back, to the' American side, making
this Journew In seven minutes. He then
took up a collection.
He made 'a second trip on July 4 of the
same year, this time walking with a sack
over his head and body. This he did again
oa July 14, Millard Fillmore then being one
of the spectators. When he reached Canada
ha dressed as a monkey, and trundled a
wheelbarrow over the rope. Another trip
was made on August S, at which time
Blondin stood on his head. At another time
- ha, carried his manager on hla back across
Jhe gorge.
All these tripe had been made by day
light. On August SI. however, Blendin made
a' night trip. At the ends of the rope
searchlights were placed, and colored lan
terns were put on the ends of his balancing
' pole. When he reached the middle of the
rope the lights on his pole went out. and It
' Was only by feeling the rope for vibrations
that hla attendants were able to tell
whether he waa still walking or had fallen
Into the depth below. At another time. In
the same year, the daring performer walked
with his legs shackled and baskets on his
feet. Shortly after this he ate a meal while
" tn the ndddle of the cable.
In the following year Blondla walked
across the whirlpool rapids, with the Prince
. ef Wales the late King Edward among
tbe spectator. ' He carried Colcord on his
baaa. U crossed walking backward. He

Kavlo-atlna- the Whirlpool.
While theBe feats were taking place or
rather, during Intervals a new feature was
added. It haa been generally believed that
ttie lower river is unnavlRable. Yet on
June 6, 1861, Captain Joel Robinson of the
Maid of the Mist. In company with two as
sociates, drove his boat downward. The
MalJ was heavily mortgaged at the time,
and Captain Robinson did not see any way
to relief but one. This one he chose. In
stead .of turning her In the direction of
the falls, ho pointed her to the rapids, and
suried. I'nder lull steam she plunged Into
the waters, going through the whitecaps
with a rush, tjhe lost her smokestack. Soon
she wns in the whirlpool, rocking and
thumping. But she obeyed her rudder and
Robinson soon had her on her way toward
peaceful waters. The feat remained the sol
itary wondor of Its kind for a .quarter of
a century.
Captain Mittthew Webb, a swimmer fa
mous In Kngland, left his home In 1S83, an
nouncing he would give battle to the cur
rents of the Niagara gorge. He entered a
small boat on July 24, 1SS3, and started
down the river. With nothing on but a
pair of red trunks he leaped Into the river
while yet several hundred feet from the
rapids. As he passed under the suspension
bridge he swam strongly, his own strong
stroke hurling him right into the thickest
of the waves. For a short time he could
bo seen battling with the waves, and then
he disappeared. Four days later his body
was recovered.
HI failure inspired other men to take
the chance. There waa In success the
glory of being able to say one hod done
what the famous Captain Webb had been
unable to do. Carlisle I). Graham, a Phila
delphia cooper, therefore shortly announced
that he would make a barrel which would
go through the rapids. His barrel was
weighted at one end ao that It would float
nearly upright. He made the trip success
fully, being In the barrel thirty-five min
utes, and going down the entire gorge to
Lewlston. Later he made another trip, this
time with his head protruding from the
barrel. -This trip also was successful, but
he was rendered almost deaf by contact
with the big waves. In all he made five
trips, being almost suffocated on his last
Era of Boats.
Then came the era of boa Is destined to
taunt nature and mako her yield to victory.
In a seventeen-foot boat, air-cushioned.
Charles A. Percy of Niagara Falls, made
three trips In 1M7. On the lust trip he los
his boat. R. W. Flack of Syracuse, who
thought he had invented a lire-saving boat,
tried It out In July. lsss. He fixed a harness
about his waist, and. the boat turning, he
was held a prisoner to the waves and rocks.
For an hour the boat tossed In the whlrl
oool. Percy, who was to have had a race
with Flack If this trip was successful, re
covered the fragments of the boat and
Flack's body.
W. a. Campbell made an open flat bot
tomed boat. In which he started to make
the trip. It capslxed, however, before the
whirlpool was reached and Campbell swam
tu shore, lib boat waa smashed.
Ten years later came Peter Nlssen of
Chicago, with a- covered boat. In which he
safely made the voyage. It was his Inten
tion, be said, to start a boat service through
the rapids. H weighted his boat, with tons
of Iron and went to take soundings near
the Horseshoe falls. He had many escapes
and his soundings amounted to nothing
at all but notoriety. With a companion he
made many trips about the river, the gorge,
tbe fall and the whirlpool. Finally came
the day when his boat waa smashed and
he lost hla life.

when Martha E. Wagenfuhrer essayed a
trip by herself. The occasion was the flr6t
time a woman had attempted the trip alone.
and is recorded a the only time a woman
successfully made It alone. After being In
the rapids an hour she was resuscitated.
On July 14 of the same year, Miss Maud
Wlllard and a dog were set adrift In a
barrel. The barrel was immediately sucked
in by the whirlpool and then shot Into the
air, returning to the whirlpool. Late that
night the barrel was recovered. When it
was opened the dog leaped out. It was said
that had the dog not been there Mis Wll
lard might have lived.
So much for the gorge and Its life-de
manding whirlpool. No one had, up to this
time, attempted to go over the falls. But
on October, 20, 1901. came Mrs. Taylor
with a barrel, in which she signified her
Intention Of making the falls. Owing to a
high wind, the barrel could not be towed
Into place, and rumors had It then that the
woman did not mean to make the trip.
However, on the 24th, Mrs. Taylor kept
her word. She waa strapped Into the
barrel, which was pumped full of air and at
the bottom of which was a blacksmith's
anvil to keep the barrel upright. Within
200 yards of the Canadian shore, one of the
accompanying boatmen rapped the barrel
with his oar as a signal to the Imprisoned
woman that sho was to be sent on her way.
The barrel started with all speed toward
the horsetmoe.- For a moment the barrel
lingered at the top of the falls after navi
gating the fifty-five or so feet of decline
before the spot was reached.. It stood as a
small black speck, the object In the eye of
thousands. Then came the suction of the
falls. Onward went the barrel, speeding,
tilting, swinging. For an instant the barrel
was sf en at the curve of the water. Then It
dropped 165 feet Into the seething, mad
waters of the lower river.
The barrel righted Itself and floated
downstream. It drifted Into an eddy on
the Canadian side and landed on a rock.
The barrel was secured and the cover re
moved. Out stepped Mrs. Taylor, the first
to conquer the falls. She waa bruised and
shocked, but that was all. New York

LIBELOUS YARN ON THE WEST
Alfalfa Feast I tlllsed as Means

Truth.
Ex-Oovernor Alva Adams was the guest
of honor at the recent alfalfa banquet in
Rifle. Colo. a banquet wherein appeared
alfalfa biscuit. alfalfa-stuffed turkey,
mashed alfalfa (far better than mashed
potatoes), alfalfa-leaf spinach, alfalfa tea
and cider, alfalfa salad and alfalfa tooth
picks. "Alfalfa Is delicious," said Mr. Adam
at the banquet' end, as he idrew his nap
kin across hi mouth. "I have eaten and
drunk heartily of it. I can only speak of
it In terms of the highest praise.

with a rancher. The first night on the
ranch he slept In his clothes, like the rest
of the boys, out of politeness, but the

CUTTING OFF COAL BUSINESS
Railroad Going- Through the Form of
, Putting; Melons In Other
Pastures.
The managers and counsel for the Le
high Valley, Delaware & Hudson and New
York, Ontario & Western railroad com
panies are perfecting plans for reorganiza
tion of the Companies In accordance with
the decision of the United States supreme
court a month ago upon the commodities
clause of the Hepburn act. The proposed
reorganization pertains to the relationship
between the railroad companies and the
coal companies which they control and
operate and, the design of the railroad
managers is so to separate the coal busi
ness from the railroad bualness that there
can be no further complaint from Wash
ington or elsewhere that the companies
are not complying with the spirit of a
law which was designed to separate the
two form of enterprise. ' ,
The plan that is at present most favored
by the Delaware & Hudson and the New
York, Ontario Western is similar In
general outline to that made effective by
the Lackawanna two years ago. It pro
vide for the sale at the mines of the coal
mined by the company to an independent
company organized for the purpose of
marketing the coal.
An alternative plan, which up to the
present baa met with greater favor from
the more influential directors of Lehigh
Valley, contemplates the sale of the com
pany' coal lands to a separate company
to be organized for the purpose of acquir
ing them and holding them In perpetuity
with, of course, rights to railroad com
pany stockholders to subscribe to the stock
of the new coal company or distribution
of the stock among them. The objection
has been made that some of the company's
coal lands are mortgaged under the rail
road company' 10,000,000 consolidated
.mortgage bonds, but it Is not proposed to
disturb the bonds. The company will only
convey, if the plan goes through, Us
equity or Interest In the coal properties
subject to the mortgage which secure the
bonds.
All the companies either own or have
stock control of companies owning very
valuable anthracite properties. The Dela
ware & Hudson and the Lehigh Valley In
particular control or own large tracts In
the richest parts of the hard coal fields.
.Ontario & ' Western Is also one of the
standard anthracite roads, but Its coal
business Is by no means so Important.
The Lehigh Valley owns the entire
capital stock of the Lehigh Valley Coal
company, which produces an average
of more than x.COO.OGO tons of anthracite
a year. This Is Its most valuable coal
property, but the railroad company also
owna the entire capital stock of Coxa
Bros. A Co., Incorporated, which owns
about S.suO.OOO acres of coal land In Carbon
and Luserne counties, Pennsylvania,
The Delaware A Hudson owns In Its
own name hard coal lands with an esti
mated unmined tonnage of more than
ano.000,000, and In addition owns the

entire capital , stock of the Hudson Coal
company, which In turn own all the
stock of the Schuylkill Coal and Iron
company and the Bhanferoke Coal com
pany. These companies have title to
lands estimated to contain 425.000,000 tons
of mlnable coal. The coal subsidiaries
of Ontario and Western are the Scranton
Coal company and the Elk Hill Coal and
Iron company, which together have a
capacity of 2,800,000 tons a year. Through
the Scranton Coal company the Ontario
& Western also controls the Black
Diamond company with 1,000,000 tons more.
' In the test case the court decided In
effect that ownership of stock In a coal
company by a railroad company Is Illegal
If It be established that the coal company
Is a mere department of the railroad or a
mere dummy to serve the purpose of the
railroad in the coal mining and marketing
thistnes.
Since that decision the Department of
Justice has let it be known that it proposed
a rigid Investigation of the relations be
tween the coal companies and the railroad
companies and has promised that other
suits would be Instituted. It was the
opinion of the Lehigh Valley manager
at first that fuVther litigation should be
contested, but though the matter has not
been formally decided by the board It Is
understood that the majority are In favor
of selling the coal lands to a new company
to be organized by Lehigh Valley stock
holders. Since Delaware & Hudson own all
the stock of the coal companies In which
it ha an Interest the case Is Identical with
that of Lehigh Valley. Not so strong a
case could be brought under the law
against Ontario ft Western for the rea
son that that company does not own all
of the stock of It coal subsidiaries. It
has, however, such a predominant in
terest that a prosecution might be suc
cessful. New York Sun.
