Once a Ranchma1.

Mr T c. Benbow. Of Carbon county,
Mcnt.. vino has been in Washington for
the past mcuth constructing the model
Of an airshiD which he claims can lit
orally sail all around that OF NJ. Santos,
viii leave this city today for Frank
fort. y. Y, where he viii give his ma
chine the first public trial.
Mr. Benbow has been very reticent
ahout his Efforts at aerial navigation.
preferring not to say much about the
matter UDtlJ he was assured Of the fact
that he could really skim through ether.
New that his patents have been ALLOW ed
he will pack His model for shipment
The model is one-fourth she si~e Of
the proposed ship. Outside Ct '.r. lsn-

proposing that number Of hurdles be

Gy thcir ships alternately over

really dlrirlble there could le no diff
Guilty in performing this feat.
Mr. BenB0w does not believe in the
aereoplane style of craft, with which
Prot Langley. OF the Smithsonian In
stitutioH. has so long been experiment
ing. Whether the Montana mans ship
VIII be as harmless as that of Prot.
Langley remains to be seen. No one
has ever been injured by falling from
Prof Langley's machine from any great
height, which is something that NJ.
.saatos cannot claim.
Uses Gas Balloons.
The motive principle OF Mr. Benbow's
machine is somewhat like that of N.
Santos. in that the craft is supported
by gas bags or balloons. The balloons
are Of a longitudinal shape, and may
be either large or small. according to
the amount Of weight which the ship is
designed to carry. Two extra balloons
are provided so that if any accident
happens 10 the ones supporting the craft
the sas in the ones remaining wii. be
sufficient TO carry the aeronaut 70 the

Mr. Benbow was a ranchman before
he became an inventor. When he first
began 70 talk alrship the people in his
locality called him crank. He was un-
daunted. however. and has put in nearly
ten years IN perfecting his invention.

Denver Live Stock Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
May l4.-Cattlc receipts were fair
todny and included Il train of
Southern cattle. Offerings on the
market were very light, and there
was very little feature to the mar
ket, unless it was the dullness.
Prices seem steady and choice cat
tie are strong. There has been
nothing lately to test the top of
the market. but the general feeling
is that the top is about where IL
was two weeks ago. Receipts are
very light on all the markets, Int
for some reason the market shows
but little snap. The packers are
worried over the falling off in the
demand and the fight being wnged
against them by the state aud gov
ernment and are not showing much
disposition to push things. How
ever, the supply Of cattle is SO
light that there is sure to he II re-
action soon and the least improve
ment in the consnmptive demand
will send prices up again. The
supply of fed cattle in this section
is getting very light Buyers are
securing the country to find enough
cattle to keep the local plants 20
ing, but without very great sue
cess. This market will have very
little outside of Southern stock
cattle for the next few weeks.
Local packers are commencing 10
look east for supplies and report
the supply very light. The move
ment of Southern cattle will be
heavy for the rest OF the week as
the real movement is just starting.
The movement will he heavier
next week as the cattle are only
Just commencing to load AMI the
big shipments will he reaching
here next week. The outlook is
for a heavy run and it will prob
ably continue late.
Receipts of hogs continue light
and The demand strong. The top
ON offerings here today was S7.15,
hut choice hogs will bring from
1920 To 1925. The market was
shade higher east and this mar
ket followed suit. Buyers are
short of supplies and good ship
ments are wunted this week.
