A|RSHIP CARRIES THREE MEN IN
 FLIGHT

WHITE PLAINS, N. r., Sept. 27.- An aviator who has secretly built a new style aeroplane, which he calls the Roeder aeroplane torpedo, is go- ing to take part in the race for flyins machines between New York and Al bany during the Hudson-Fulton eele bration. The inventor of the new fly ing machine is John Roeder and his workshop. where he built it, is To- cated in a frame building in the rear Of the White Plains fair grounds.
 Early today whtTe the countryside was asleep, Mir. Roesder sent his new ship up in the air for a distance of 100 feet and the inventor says that the first triad was a scccess. The heavier than air machine carried three passengers. John Roeder. Peter Roeder and Peter Berner
 The passengers say the aerial tor pedo rose easily into the air and land. ed without any mishap.
 The inventor says the ship can be used either with balloon or without. It is fifty-five feet long and eighteen feet wide in the center The frame work is of iron and it has two propel lers one in front and the other in the rear. which are operated by twenty five horse power foreign motor. The framework is covered with one piece of canvas across the top and il is forced up in the air by the pro lpellers. which contain deep grooves that cut the air while ascending When a level is reached they assist in hanging the torpedo in the air.
 The inventor declared today that he will attempt to fly to New Tori tomorrow.

a biplane he has worked upon. and, as he says, perfected after years of study
 The inventor believes he has an aeroplane that will fly from San Francisco to New York, and-some- thing not claimed by the Wrights or Curtiss-make the journey in any kind of weather.
 Several inventions have brought honors to Williams. one of them being the Williams fiashlight device, which took first place at the Chicago Worlds Fair, and made a snug sum for the inventor. Williams, who for many years was a photographer, was the first man to use retouching and en- ameling on photographs.
 Discussing his invention of the aero plane Williams said: The Wright brothers and the rest of them are right now here I was years ago. I kept on working secretly until I could would be an shrdlucmfwvsnai-wWue produce a machine that would be an actual commercial craft and not merely plaything."
 The invention of adevice to keep the aeroplane on an even keel at once made the machine capable of long flights, and the realization of the sort of ship he desired came quickly after the idea was hit upon. In every way the machine has been built to eliminate air resistance, and the lines of the machines compel the atmos phere encountered to aid the craft in buoying up.

GRAND VALLEY ORCHARDS
ARE MODELS IN SIZE

gentleman from the Grand valley
country came into this office this
week and delivered himself of a great
truth, as follows:
The day of the large farm in the
Grand valley is rapidly passing
And then to make plain his posi-
tion he said further:
II have 100 acres. and rather than
try to farm that entire tract, | could
better afford to give away 120 acres
and cultivate intensively the remain
ing 40 acres, and by so doing can
make more off the small tract than
can now get from the entire farm.
'Of course, | do not need to give
away portion of my ranch as there
is ready sale for it, but | could bet
ter afford to do so than to attempt
to cultivate it all and thus scatter
my energies to no purposes"
This man was right. More money
can be made from small tract than
| from large tract half neglected. 1t
is sometimes hard for us to realize
this truth. but we shall be winners
when we learn this lesson.
In the Palisade country as in many
of the California districts. families
are being supported nicely on five
acre tracts, and the Post predicts
that in ten years from now ten and
twenty acre tracts will be the rule
in the Grand valley country, within
all reasonable distances from rail-
road stations, while farm of more
than forty acres will be looked upon
as a curiosity.
of course, this will apply only to
fruit and garden lands. and the hay
farms and oat fields and other lands
some distance from the railroad
where general farming and stock
raising are the profitable vocations,
the larger areas will still prevail. In
the Palisade country and in some
sections adjacent to Grand Junction,
the land is now so thoroughly sub
divided that the country people seem
to almost constitute a great village.
This condition will increase as our
| farmers are fast learning that they
are trying to do too much and are
really doing too little.-Glenwood
