NRIGHT'S FINAL
PUBLIC FLIGHT
Aviators will Devote Their e.
forts to Commercialism.
BROTHERS ARE MODEST
Do Not Wish to Be Known as Show
men-Offers to Fly in Ex-
hititions Will Be Re-
jected.

New York, Oct. 6.-Unless some
change of heart shall alter a decision
announced by Wilbur Wright, the
spectacular fight made here over the
harbor and up the river by the daring
Dayton aviator is the last which he or
his brother Orville propose to make
in public. Hereafter" said Mr..
Wright on his return from a visit to
Governors island, whittier he had
gone to superintend the taking apart
of his damaged aeroplane I'VE shall
devote all our efforts to the CONNER,
cial exploitation of our machines and
only ny as matter of experiment to
test the value of whatever changes
we decide to make in their construc.
ton"
Mr.. Wright added that neither he
nor his brother wished to be looked
upon as showmen and that all offers
to fly for exhibition purposes would
be rejected by them.
More Than an Exhibition.
"The flight of Monday" said he,
was more than an exhibition. 1t was
more like the taking up of challenge
or the making of a record to stand
as mile stone in the history of aerial
navigation. l would have done bet.
ter than | did had not the blowing
out of cylinder of my machine pre-,
vented me from making second
flight; but, all things considered,
am satisfied with my performance OF
the morning"
Mr.. Wright did not know exactly
what method he and his brother will
adopt in putting their aeroplanes on
the American market, but thought il
likely that stock company woul
be formed of which he and his brother
would retain majority control He left
for Washington, where he is to begin
at once the instruction of those Off,
GERS of the Signal Corps of the army
upon whom will devolve the duty OF
operating the Wright machine re.

THREE new LOCAL
INTERPRETATIONS.
With Combined Authorized Capital
of $4,000.
0SKALOOSA is HEADQUARTERS
Dewhirst Furnace Company oskaIoo-
sa College and the Shady Creek
Coal Company Have Organ
lied to Begin Business.

One of the most successful inven-
items ever produced by local genius
Is the new furnace constructed for
the first time recently by Simon De
whirst, superintendent of the Oska-
loosa Paving Brick Co. The principal
merit of the new furnace lies in the
CRATES, which are specially construct
ed so the fire will consume the gases
evolving from the coal as well as the
mineral portion of the fuel, and there
by produce the maximum amount OF
heat from a given quantity of coal
and with minimum amount OF smoke.
The invention has been given practi-
ard the power house of the Oskaloosa
Traction e Light Co., and has been
installed in the heating plant OF the
Iowa College at Grinnell. The success
OF the invention was assured from
the start and no soliciting was neces-
sary to secure financial backing to ex-
plot the patents or manufacture the
new furnace. A corporation to be
known as the Dewhirst Furnace Co.,
has now been organized by local par
ties, with a capital stock of 100000,
for the manufacture and sale of the
furnaces and the new institution gives
promise of development into factory
of large size.
The incorporators are Simon De-
whirst, VIM. p. Hawkins, IA. w. Gar
ner, s. G. Magden and Fred e. Green.
The first annual stockholders meet
ing will be held in May, 1910, and un-
til that time the following officers will
serve:
President-Simon Dewhirst.
Vice-Pres.-H. W. Garner.
Secy.-Treas.-F. II. Green.
The articles of incorporation, which
have Just been filed with the county
re corder and secretary OF state, state
the purpose OF the concern as being
for the sale of patent rights or u
censes for the construction and use
of the Dewhirst Furnace with such
other Improvements as may hereafter
be made thereto or acquired by pat
ents in the United States or foreign
countries, and to erect factories to-
the manufacture of the furnace. The
corporation is to continue in business
for twenty years, unless renewed 1T
expiration of that time.
