WILL TOUR ARKANSAS
 WITH AEROPLANE

Little Rock, Aug. 1.-The Hol- land aeroplane, invented by a young telegraph operator at Cy> press Junction, seven miles south of Little Rock, will be giv- en a public trial in West End Park some day this week, after which it will be taken for tour of Arkansas the youthful invent or making flights wherever dates can be secured, in order to raise funds for the purpose of building machine out of aluminium.
 Holland says he wants the peo- pie of Arkansas to have chance to see his machine first, and as he will not be at such an enormous expense as the aeroplanists who travel about with retinue of as- siStants, he can make the flights at price which can be paid by all the towns.
 The invent tor. and his business manager, F. A. Shea, trainmas- ter of the Iron Mountain, desire to get an aluminium model as rap idly as possible and then go East to show the machine, which has already demonstrated it's ability to fly.
 The Holland machine is so con- structed that it is impossible for it to fall and injure the operator, it having side planes which pre- vent it's pitching in any direction, so should anything go wrong with the apparatus, nothing remains for the machine but to glide gradually to the ground. The inventor realizes the man who makes the most money out Of the aeroplane is the one who first puts a safe machine on the market. He expects the Holland machine to become the plaything of the rich, for none other can af ford them, and it is his desire to get the people buying them as soon as possible.
 If practical, the factory for the manufacture of the machine will be located in Arkansas
