pany in which Wilmiagton capital is
mostly interested.was organized, has
just returned from an extended trip
north, mainly v to New - York city,
where he made a close study of the
i -i18? Curtis and other airships and
laid his" theory and plans before some
DTHhe - very best aero authorities.
Without a single exception they pro
nounced his idea a capital one, and
y-f ar , the most practical of all,- as no
SKill , will be required to ' work the
aeroplane, and there - ' will be more
safety, in it. MrJ Palmgren has state
ments and letters from these high au
thorities that are indeed gratifying
and show the worth, of his Invention.
The work of building the first aero
plane will be pushed as rapidly as
possible, The motofs . have already
been especially built and are ready
for shipment.
: : TheXtrilJutes I paid Mr. t Palmgren's
invention: are especially valuable in
view, of r the great strides airship in

placed upon such. It -wilf mean much
to Wilmington in the way of ad ver-tisement-to

Stocks Today.
New York, June 18. The market
conditions remained: the same at the
opening and in early , trading, as they
were in the last few days, fluctuations
teing confined within narrow limfts;
with business small in volume. A ma
jority of the stocks showed small frac
tional gains in the . first , sales, but
these were lost in 7 dragging; trading
and at the end of fifteen miutes the
net results were almost nothing.

be of gre.U value, since it enables
smaller Aving-planes to be used than
heretofore;, and -smaller wing-planes

importance of a construction which

As agent for this important depart
ment, the Coast Line "has made an
eminently wise selection in the per
son of Mr. E. N. Clark, of Albany, Ja.
Mr. Clark has been connected with
the Atlantic Coast Line's interests for
thirty-one years. He -brings o his
new office a wide and varied, exper
ience. It has been announced that
Mr. Wilbur McCoy will remain at
Jacksonville, Pla., as Agricultural and
immigration Agent for the States of
Florida, Georgia and Alabama: In
view of the immense and . continuous,
development of the South .nd the
atention this section of . the country
is attracting in, the .North and. West,
the Atlantic Coast Line has felt the
wisdom of enlarging, - and paying still
more attention to. the agricultural and
immigration department of .the rail
road .work. Therefore the new bureau
to cover ,the; Carolinaa arid, Virgiinia
has been decided upon. -JJAr:$jig;

LARGE ADDITION
I haVe carefully reviewed the draw
ings and description of the aeroplane
being put on the market by the American-Aeroplane
Company of Wilming
ton; N. C, and in reply to inquiry by
Afr Tavid Palmgren would' say that
in view of the state of the art. there
is little doubt that the general pro
portions of this machine are correct
ly based ; and in , this connection I
would mores particularly point to ' the
arrangement of the wings, which lend
themselves peculiarly ta'the mainten
ance of automatic stability.' ,
! While the arrangement oi, me piu-
the head of this department) together
with those of Mr. -Clark, will be di
rected in an. effort to induce substan
tial Northern and Western homeseek
ers to come into this territory and
build up the waste places.
In connection with the work of the
department, an extensive advertising
campaign will be waged. Publicity
will be one of the mottos of the bu
reau. The new department will result
in a form -of advertising, with mate
rial results, such as this section has
never before possessed. The installa
tion "of the bureau will be received
with much interest by the people of
Wilmington, as well as by the resi
dents of the three states to be cover
ed by the new bureau. The work of
the-bureaU wiU be started immediately
upon the arrival of Mr. Clark, Monday
