Denver.-The Republican Wednes-
day morning says: Within sixty days
Denver will see its first aeroplane.
manufactured in this city. This after
noon the Mathewson-Marr Aeroplane
Company will be Incorporated for $780,
900 and a building has been rented on
Court place between Sixteenth and
Seventeenth streets for factory.
The designer of the machine is w.
L. Mari, for years known by all users
OF automobiles as designer OF ma
chimes and motors. He came to Den
yer three months ago for his health
and while remaining here decided to
bring out an aeroplane upon which he
has been working for seven years.
The machine, as described by Mr..
Marr will be the simplest kind OF an
aeroplane driven by very high-power
motor, of which he is the designer. Fur
ther, he says that anyone who has
ever ridden bicycle or driven an
automobile. will learn to fly as easily
as he can run his automobile.
The aeroplane factory will be the
only one in the country outside OF the
Wright and Curtiss factories and Den
yer would never have received this
had it not been that Mr.. Marr was
sent west by his physicians to recu-
perate from overwork. He has never
flown himself, but has been in con-
sultation on the aeroplanes now sue
cessfully used as to the motors and
apparatus. He therefore knows ex-
actly the power of the motors, the
weight and proportion of the machine
as used by the American aeroplane
manufacturers.
The aeroplane. says Mr.. Mari, Will
will not differ from those already In
use by aviators in the East and Eu-
rope, except that it will be even more
simple in construction. Popular prices
are also to be charged, although the
incorporators are not ready to say just
what the price will be. Mr.. Mari
says he will be the first to fly in his
machine and that he will be ready
then to instruct any who wish to buy.
He expects to turn out as many as
three or four machines q week II the
public takes an interest in the matter
sufficient to justify this number

reported that a farmer to the north of

fear was entertained that he might
have persisted in the storm. This scare
was also exploded when ii was ascer-
tanned that Jens j. Norgaard had
started for his rural mail box, about
three quarters mile distant from his
home, and the storm came on so that
it made attempted return to the house
on his part hazardous. Instead Of
taking chances Jens entered nearby
school house. where he started a fire
and remained till the storm had abated.
Mrs Norgaard became alarmed at her

was her that gave the alarm that reused

belief that it was possible that Jens

and that his life was I'm danger.

GREAT LOSSES
in THE HERDS
CATTLE RAISERS WEST OF THE
MISSOURI WILL SUSTAIN
LOSSES THROUGH THE
COLD SPELL.

Pierre, S. D., Jan. 12.-While there
has been a great deal OF snow in the
country west of the Missouri river in
this state this year. the big herds are
practically out of existence, and moss
of the remaining cattle raisers put up
hay to carry their stock through the
winter. But this stock is getting short
and unless the winter breaks by the
first of February, losses are likely to
occur even in some of the smaller
herds. About the only section of the
state left where severe losses are like
ly this winter is in the big reserva-
ton herds in the pastures, where no
effort is made to put up hay, and with
snow on the ground since in November
some of these cattle must be suf-
fering from hunger even now, and
with q continuance of winter into Feb
fuary, heavy losses are practically un-
avoidable.
