RoBlNsoN's NEW BIRD READY.
Aviator Will Test Immense Aerial
Graf When Wind Is Favorable.

Special to Times-Republican.
Grinnell, Nov. 2o.-The general
Grinnell public has been waiting with
some impotence for the completion Of
Aviator Robinson's plans regarding his
new aerial craft and the day when it
should make its trial trip. And now
it is announced from an authoritative
source that the new four winged bird
named by its inventor and constructor,
'.Luxuria," is all ready for flight except
perhaps few pats and polishes just
before being run out of the hanger It
is said that preliminary flights will be
made this week but it is very likely
that better weather conditions will
have TO prevail before the bird will
risk its precious makeup The vio-
lent winds Of yesterday and the day
before are not very helpful to manu-
featured birds even after long trial
and worse yet for new ones. The new
ship is painted grey. is much larger
than the monoplane that Mr. Robinson
manufactured here and has always
used here. will carry much greater
weight and is expected to be able to
remain in the air all day il necessary.
Mr.. Robinson plans to make a long
distance flight in the new craft as soon
as trial trips show it perfectly fit and
the weather conditions will permit.

Grinnell. Nov 20.-Prof. T. p Ryan,
Of Grinnell College. has proven to tbs
general satisfaction of students of old
English literature, that william Lang
land. who has long been credited with
the authorship Of the well-known
poem. Piers Plowman." existed only
as a myth. This disproves the En-
cyclopedia Britannica and numerous
other authoritative English histories
on this point In the Encyclopedia
Britannica life of the man William
Langland is given. From this and
from other sources historians have
fabricated a plausible autobiography
Of Langland, and, gradually dropping
the probably and perhaps from the
narrative. have published it as we'll
authenticated history.
Professor Ryan spent the greater
part of last year at Chicago Univer-
sity There he had access to great
many manuscripts and old books thru
which he reached his proof. A sum-
mary of this years work along this line
will be published soon in bulletin Of
the University of Chicago, under the
title The Legend Of William Lang
land
Story Partly Mythical.
There is no mention of the author
of piers Plowman'' in any contempor-
airy manuscripts According to Pro-
ressor Ryan the story OF William
I.angland has been partly taken from
Piers Plowman," in which the author
was supposed to be writing auto
geographically, and was partly fabri-

with the original story. For want OF
better explanation. and because it
sounded reasonable, Professor Skeat's
story has until lately been accepted as
true While originally it was told as
a possibility. qualifications were grad
ually dropped.
In the story as given in the Ency.
clopedia Britannica, and in the his
tories generally. Langland is given
definite birthplace. all the character

GRANT COUNTY HISTORY
Fragmentary Tales of Early DoingS in This Good
BaiIwick, Gathered from the Most Authentic Sources
Subject: How Potosi Got Its Start In Life.

As near as may now be learned,
Che first white men to make permanent
settlement in the territory now known
as Potosi were Willis ST. John and
Isaac Whitaker. They came into the
valley soon after the Black Hawk
war, ia the summer of 1882, and
made discoveries of metal. The
valley was then called, or named,
Snake Hollow, and as such it was
known for a number of years. 1t is
claimed that hunters had been there
before the arrival of st. John and
Whitaker, but of this there is no
authentic history of which we know.
Mr. Whitaker was accompanied by
his wife, and that she was the first
white woman in the valley there is
no question. They built cabins, and
20 far as we know died in the valley.
They were lead miners, and it is re-
corded that ST. John was a very sue
Cessful man, and until one of the
wildcat" banks of the time broke,
he was man of wealth. Then he
went broke. He was thought 10 be
"a bachelor, and died a single man.
In those early days lead mining
was profitable industry, and some
of the diggings north of Snake Hol-
Tow were successful. Anyway, a
large number of prospectors, not all
of them without means, came pour
ing in. 1t was recorded as being a
prosperous settlement, and as early
as 1885 had postmaster, G. Kalten-
bach. He held that position for
more than 40 years. 1t is said that
lais daughter, Mary, was the white
child born in the settlement. Many
old residents of the Potosi region
knew Mr.. Kaltenbach.
In the beginning the upper settle
Gnent, the one near where now is the
brewery, was called Van Buren,, or
Ivan Buren's Entry" while further
down, even to the banks of Grant
river, the settlement was called
Lafayette. 1t is said that the
rivalry between these two settlements
was very hot during the thirties, with
much attention paid to a boom town
10y the name of Osceola. This last
named town went bump, and then
