INVENTOR HARVEY DEAD.
He Made Nickel-steel Armor That 4,
Inch Guns Couldn't Pierce.

InCn gums GOufQn'E fterce.
ORANGE, n. j.. Aug. 2s.-Hayward A.
Harvey, inventor of the Haryeyixed steel
armor plates and the roller screw, died to-
day from kidney trouble.
fHarveyized steel is the hardest metal
In the world. Its method of manufacture
is q secret, and the superiority of our war
ships over those of Europe Is due to the fact
that all the armored vessels completed in
1902 and 1898 are covered with Harveyized
steel. During 1890 and 1891 several thin
plates treated by the Harvey process of
surface hardening by differentiation
and subsequent manipulation were
tested, with results superior to any
ever before attained. The process was
then applied to thicker armor, and during
October. November and December, 1891,
nine plates of American manufacture
we're tested at Indian Head. The re-
suits were most satisfactory, The
victory of Harveyized nickel steel
plate in America was repeated In
Russia in competition with English and
French plates OF the most recent make.
The foreign plates were either perforated
or broken up by the projectiles from six
inch gun. The same projectiles vera
broken into fragments against the
hard face of the Harvey plate,
scarcely indenting IL. A 9.Inch gun was
then employed. and although the
plate was cracked through the rrojec-
tiles failed TO perforate 1t. and the
backing was uninjured. All the
plates were ten inches thick. The
results of this and other recent trials have
had marked In iluence upon naval ord
nance policy. The tendency for the past
two or three years has been in favor
OF limiting the size of guns TO
caliber of about ten inches. But
the resisting power of the Harveyized
armor is so great that il Is now seen that
any large armor-clad can readily carry
armor invuinerable TO a I0-inch gun AZ
any range. and with any velocity that is
likely 20 be obtained In the immediate
future

The Lincoln County wheat Yield.
Sprartre Mail

careful and conservative estimate OF
the wheat yield in Lincoln county this
year places il IN the neighborhood OF
10000 bushels. Tt is much more likely
to exceed that amount than to fail below it.
Last year there were So. $50 acres sown 10
wheat, and the average yield was liz
bushels to the acre, making total yield
OF 1918. 400 bushels. liz Is estimated that
the acreage this year has more than
doubled, or at conservative estimate,
We will say that there are 175,0 acres
OF wheat in Lincoln county. 1t is safe
to estimate that the yield will At least
reach an average of 3 bushels to the acre,
which will give total yield of 4,375. 900
bushels of wheat, or nearly three times
what was raised last year

George Roberts has invented q hop

tested its workings to know whether it

working in the yards. The vines are
showed into cylinder all-same threshing

James Mcnamara, Democratic Candi-
date for Circuit Judge.

James Mcnamara was the unani-
nous choice of the Democratic Jul
dicial convention for this, the Goth
district, at the convention which
was held at Gaylord on the 14th, as
the candidate for Circuit Judge.
James Mcnamara was born at
Dexter, Mich, in 1880. When but
Is years of age he was thrown up
on his own resources, and by in
dustry and economy saved sufficient
means to take him through the
State university. He entered the
law department in 1884, and gradu-
ated with honors two years later,
after which he came to Alpena, and
has been an honored citizen. In
1885 he became a partner with the
late ]. c. Shields, and the law firm
established continued several years,
ranking with the most prominent
in the city. Their law practice was
large, and included many important
cases.
In 1885 Mr.. Mcnamara was NOM
mated as the Democratic candidate
for Prosecuting Attorney for this
county, and was elected by 291 ma
jority, over L. G.. Dafoe, and run
ming 1853 ahead of his ticket. In
1888 he was re-nominated for the
same Office, his opponent being W.
e. Depew, and was again elected by
AT majority, running $50 ahead of
his ticket. In 1890 Mr.. Mcnamara
was again the Democratic choice
for the same Office, but the opposi-
ton found no one willing to enter
the field against him, and he once
more occupied the position.
These facts show the estimation
in which he is held by the people
of Alpena county, as not only did
he receive his party vote, but good
number of Republicans voted for
him. There is no doubt in regard
to his popularity in this county. A
man cannot be elected for third
term unless he has faithfully per-
formed the duties of his Office.
Mr.. McNamara's standing as a
member of the Alpena bar is well
shown by the Circuit Court calendar
for the February term-that docu-
ment showing him as attorney in
nine cases, besides being one Of the
counsel in the noted Presque Isle
county Molitor murder cases, being
engaged by the county of Presque
Isle to assist in the prosecution. His
record in the important case recent
ly tried, which terminated in the
conviction of August Grossman, is
very flattering to Mr.. Mcnamara,
and reflects great credit as to his
ability as an attorney.
Personally, he has hosts of friends
III Alpena, and as to his ability to
preside over the Circuit Court for
this district, there is no doubt what
ever. He will make a good Judge,
fair and impartial in his rulings,
while his integrity is beyond ques-
ton.
At present the indications are
that he will be elected by large
majority, and we ask every Demo-
crat to give their candidate warm
suppOrt.
