More Potatoes Than Cars.

Greeley, Colo.-In other years lack
Of transportation has hampered the
moving of the potato crop, but never
before has there been such a lack OF
cars for shipping potatoes as now.
During the last four weeks this district
has lost S50.000 by the failure of the
railroad company to provide cars to
carry the crop, 400 carloads of which
could have been easily sold
In view Of the situation, Texas and
Kansas, where the demand for Greeley
potatoes is always great, customers
have stocked up with potaties from
Minnesota and Wisconsin. which will
considerably weaken the market this
winter for the Colorado crop. Over one.
une-third of the potato crop has already
been moved, and if transportation facil.
tiles had been anywhere near adequate,
nearly a third more of the crop would
he sold by December 1st.
AS it is. from five to ten carloads
only are daily leaving for the market,
and dealers are cancelling all orders
because of inability to secure cars and
are threatening to combine and sue the
railroad company for damages.

PERFECTED AIRSHiPS.
Sir Hiram Maxim Says We Shall Have
Them Speedily.

London.-The question OF per
fected navigable flying machine is now
regarded by experts here as one of the
probabilities of the immediate future
and every inducement is being held out
to inventors to produce a reliable ma
chine. a correspondent has inter
viewed some of the leading authorities
N England and on all hands he was
practically told, "If it be not now, it will
come soon"
Sir Hiram Maxim said: I'VE shall
not have any balloons in the future; We
shall have flying machines. The flying
machine is heavier than air, just as the
birds are. There are no balloons in ma,
tUre.
so l have no hesitation whatever in
saving that before many more years
pass we shall do away completely with
the balloon. If we are ever TO fly, it
must be with a machine heavier than
air. Many men are busily engaged in
trying to invent machine which, like
bird, will stay in the air as long
rs they wish and go wherever they de,
sire to guide it.
THE solution is coming. whichever
people may think, and | really believe
myself that within a year from now
there will be a great number of ma
chimes in the air. This is certain to
happen within two years, at any rate"

Sugar Beets in Dancer.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Fort Collins on the Goth inst say
The snow storm which set in Friday
evening caused another delay in beet
harvesting, which may result in heavy
losses. 1t is estimated that there ar.
10000 tons of beets in the ground in
this factory district, and should the
weather turn cold and hold so for any
great length of time the possibility of
gathering them in condition for fac.
tory use would be remote. thus involv.
ing loss of 100000 The beets are
not injured yet, and If the snow goes
off right away and the weather moder-
ates so that digging can be resumed. it
is probable that the greater portion Of
the crop may be saved. The situation
is grave for those still having beets in
