Commissioner Carter Recommends the Ap-
pointment Of Board to Investigate.
WASHINGTON, May Gland Commits
sioner Carter, in communication to Secre-
tary Noble, handles the "open letter" of
j. j. Martin, Secretary of the Kaweah Col
ony, at some length. Martin claimed that
the colonists performed such acts Of settle
ment and improvements as show conclu-
sively their good intentions in the premises.
Martin gave history of the progress of the
colony, and charged that Special Agent An
drew Caldwell of the Land Office is vindic-
tive and not inclined to give the colonists a
air hearing. The Commissioner defends
Caldwell, and refers to the law to sustain
his position that only 160 acres of
timber land can be sold to one
person or association, and that the
term association" certainly applies to
the Kaweah Colony. The entries by the
colonists were; Sixty-four timber land,
which were Cancelled April g. 1891; timber,
cash entries patented prior to reservation,
three; timber, cash entries ordered invest
igated, one; declaratOry statement, filings
Cancelled by department order. April g.
1891, two; homestead applications ordered
Investigated, five. of these claims twelve
are reported by Caldwell as containing
''giant trees" over forty-fve feet in circum-
ference. The Co mmissoner recommends
that those persons expanding money in con-
structing road leading to the reservation
be reimbu He also recommends that
the Secretary take steps to find out every
one who should be reimbursed ana the
amount due EACH To secure this informa-
tion he favors board of three special land
agents to be empowered to investigate and
report.

What Is "One-horse Power %

When men begin first to become familiar
with the methods of measuring mechanical
power, they often speculate on where the
breed of horses is to be found which can
keep at work raising $4,000 pounds one
foot per minute, or the equivalent, VII oh
is familiar to men accustomed to pile
driving BY horse powe', or raising 800
pounds 100 feet per minute. Since 80, O(O
raised one foot per minute is called one
horse power, it is natural for people to
think that The engineers who established
that unit of INT asurement based it on the
actual work performed by horses. Bu'
that was rot the case. The horse power
unit was established by James Wstt about
century ago, and the figures were set led
in q curious way. Watt, in his usual
careful manner, proceeded to End out the
average work which the horses of his
district could perform, and he found that
the raising of % 600 pounds one foot pei
minute was about the actual horse power.
At this time he was employed in the man
ufactura of engines, and hsd almost a
monopoly of the engine building trade.
Customers were so hard to find that oil
kinds of artificial encoursgements were
considered necessary to induce power users
to buy steam engines. As method oi
encouraging business, Watt offered to sell
engines reckoning SO. 900 foot pounds to &
horse power. or one third more than tn
actual. And thus, what was intended a.
temporary expedient to promote business
has been the means of giving false uni,
OF very important measurement to the
world. Hitler and Mnnayaeturs
