CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

At last nights meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce not a quo
rum was present, consequently no
election of officers occurred, This
was probably due to some extent
to the fact that several mem bers of
the Cham Der who have taken a
prominent interest in the organi-
zation we're out of town.
But that is not the greatest diff
ficulty. There seems to be an apa-
thy on the part OF those who really
should be most interested in main
tanning such an institution. If
there ever was time when a Cham
Der of Commerce could be factor
in the prosperity of Florence, it is
now. The fault seems to be more
generally on the part of merchants.
The burden of the work so far has
been carried on principally by pro-
fessional men, whereas it is the
merchant who would to the great
est extent be benefited by the
fruition Of Cham Der of Commerce
plans.
Men are apt to overlook the fun
damental object of commercial
body such as this. 1t isn't the
purpose to advertise what we al
ready have, but to let the financial
world know what we need, and at
the same time let our natural adj
vantages be set forth. There are
all kinds of schemes coming up
from time to time to advertise
Florence, when as matter of fact
the wise thing to do would be to
show why more capital could
protitably be invested here. There
is any amount of capital waiting
for investment. Florence can
make place for it. And this is
the work of Cham ber Of Com
meroe. Merchants should com
prehend the relation of the Cham
ber to them. They should realize
that every dollar invested in a new
enterprise in this place means a
proportionate increase in the bulk
of business. In view of this fact
every merchant should lend every
effort to the support of this iusti-
tuition, ana make it what it should
be, There should be II regulars at
tendance of at least fifty business
men. Its meetings should be as
regularly attended as are the vari-
GUS lodge meetings.
Until such an interest is taken
the Chamber of Commerce will be
a dead letter as far as accomplish
ing any good for Florence.

Serious Trouble is Expected.

Trinidad, Colo. Sept. 2i.-Ihe
Maxwell land grant trouble is very
near crisis, and today will prob
ably bring important developments
The deputy United States marshals
who arrived here Saturday evening
have left for the Stonewall country
with enough ammunition and pro-
visions for long campaign.
The grant officials say they
mean business and they propose
now to evict every settler from
their property if a large party of
regulars have to be called into
action.
A largely attended meeting had
been in progress during the day,
but no one of those who attended
was willing to tell what conclusion,
if any, was reached.
The general opinion of those
who are not in on the controversy
is that the settlers will not submit
to eviction without fighting. They
are all armed and ready for fight.
Some of the American settlers,
who have been making a tis hit for
their homes for the last twenty
years, expressed themselves as not
anticipating any serious trouble,
but their actions and manner indi-
Gated fixed determination not to
submit to eviction without a fight.
They claim that they settled on
their lands aud made homestead
filings under the provisions of an
act passed by congress in 1867, by
which the land in question was
thrown open to settlement, having
previously been included III the
out boundaries of the Vigil and
st, Vrain grant. They continued
to live on the land, and number
of them made proofs, receiving
their fnal.receipts from the land
office,
The trouble began in 1877, when
a resqrvey was made under direc..
ton of the surveyor general of |
New Mexico. The survey was
made by brother of S, B Elkins,
and is known as the Elkins survey. |
The settlers claim that it was the |
result of the conspiracy in which
5. B. Elkins, T. b Catron and j. |
A. Williamson. com missioner of |
The land office at that time and the
of the grant, were impli-
Gated.
The boundary of the grant,
which, previous to that time, was
he New Mexico line, was extended
o include the Stonewall valley.
The survey made by Elkins was
recorded in the general land office,
md afterward the entries made by
he settlers were cancelled
Repeated efforts have been made

1T FLIES AND FIGHTS.
Prof. Langley's Combined Airship
and Dynamite 1hrower.

Prof. Langley's Combined Airship
and Dynamite 1hrower.
If current reports from Washington
are true Professor S. p. Langley has
invented a real flying machine and the
most powerful engine Of war known to
civilized man. So mighty Is the power
Of the little forty-seven-pound engine
of the flying machine which he has
originated that no model army could
withstand it. A fleet of ironclads could
be destroyed by it in fifteen minutes.
Coast defenses would be broken up
like rail fences before a tornado If once
the aerodrome passed over them and
dropped bombs into their midst. At
least this is what Professor Langley's
friends assert.
For three years past Professor Lang
lev has devoted himself to the prob
lem of aerial navigation. He claims to
have solved it at last and to have built
machine which will render American
armies invincible by means of bombs
thrown from his airship. He calls 1t
| the aerodrome. This machine will be
not less valuable in peace than In war.
A man can settle himself to sleep In
the car of one Of these flying machines
in the evening at Chicago, and wake up
to find himself in New York by morn
| ing. Air travel will be more safe than
transportation by land. The aerodrome
can dart upon sinking ship and
snatch its passengers from peril. The
airship, it is claimed, Is as completely
under control of its pilot as locomo-
tive Is under the guidance Of an engi-
neer.
The aerodrome which Professor
Langley has constructed and tested
cost $1,000. This sum included the
cost Of numerous experiments. The
machine can probably be duplicated
for less than $4,000. Professor Lang
ley says his perfected aerodrome is the
result Of between twenty-five and thir-
ty unsuccessful experiments with
various engines and motors. His work
has been carried on in the East with
the utmost secrecy. The professor was
convinced that an airship could be
constructed which would fly by Its
own power. The problem was to in
vent a machine that could depend up
on it's momentum for support and at
the same time furnish considerable
carrying capacity above that required
to sustain itself. After ten months OF
effort a flying machine was actually
launched in 1897. In the first expert
ment it worked WELL Subsequent
trials showed that 1t was not and could
not in that shape be put under perfect
control.
The aerodrome resembles q metal
whale propelled by the wings of an al
batross. 1t is built largely of alumni
mum, and the body, or car, Is about q
feet long, 6 feet wide, and feet high
Liquefied air is the substance which
gives life to it's body and its wings.
The aerodrome Professor Langie,
has constructed can carry five or si1
people with ease, and it is only mat
ter of building a sufficiently large one
to sustain any given weight. On en-

veyance to some enchanted world The
gaiety and glitter Of the London night
delighted and amazed her. At Picca-
dilly circus Sylvia was entranced; in
Leicester show she was In ecstasies,
and when, having reached the snug Sc
clusion of a curtained box, she could
gaze across valley of dim, smoke
wreathed figures, which the moving
marvel of form and color defined as a
ballet, she acted and moved as though
in dream world.
Sylvia remained oblivious to all Brun-
toms hints as to the lapse of time until
he murmured that the hour had neared
II. Safely in the hanson speeding
homeward, Sylvia returned to earth
again, and sighed as she felt like
Cinderella in having to leave the ball
at It's height.
Yes, Sylvia was sorry, very, very
sorry, he was going, and perhaps when
he returned in three years he would
have forgotten her. And Brunton was
equally convinced Of his own faithful
ness, but feared the strain of time and
absence on hers.
Brunton thought he would like the
next meeting to take place, as this one
had, in garden; and Sylvia remem-
bered that certain green door in the
high wall encircling her grandmother S
grounds opened on a quiet side road.
Thereafter the stars witnessed a SOL
emn compact that that day three
years, at the same hour, Sylvia would
unlock the green door to give Brunton
entrance.
Athwart the little green door the
moonlight glinted softly, and Brunton,
standing In near the shadow of an lick,
would willingly have dropped the COM
ing hour out of his life.
Since his return to England, few
days before, the memory of this ap-
preaching assignation had persistently
occurred to him. AS man of honor
he knew he dare not shirk it. And vet
how painful to be forced to see Sylvia

eyes-and confess how he had changed
and to tell her boldly that their meet
Ing had proved but an incident, of nc
moment in the ordering of his life.
He must undeceive her as tenderly
as possible, speak of Eleanor regret
fully, at least not let Sylvia guess how
entirely happy their union was, or thai
she, Sylvia, had long ceased to be augh
but pretty, sentimental remembrance
to him.
Even as he schooled himself a dis
tant clock struck the hour, and witt
the first faint chime came the stealth,
sound Of an opening lock. She was
there!
Gently turning the handle he passed
through the green door and entered
Lady Martingale's garden. Beside til,
great stone basin of the old fountain
stood Sylvia.
Her eyes met his in questioning an
4 peal, and for moment mad rush O,
pity, romance, affection, call 1t wha
you will, overcame him, and, spring
ing forward, he caught her hands.

would leave England to join his regi-
ment, and few seemed to know or care.
Tor the first tiIne he felt constrained
to mourn the lack of near relative
to fuss and weep over his departure.
His coming to Mrs. Derrick's "at
home" had been a mistake, too.
Taking out cigar he lit match,
which sportive zephyr playfully ex-
tinguished. Among the shadows hid
n rustic arbor, and stepping inside the
shelter Of its doorway he struck fresh

huddled up close to the back wall Of

''Did you? Well, say that should
