4 SURPRISING ADVANCE,

The result of the contest in Chi
cago between the vehicles bearing
the curious and meaningless names
of motorcycles" and "electrobats"
will surprise the public not by it's
failure, but by the degree of success
achieved. For many years now we
have been clearly in sight of the day
when street and highway traffic will
be carried on principally by vehicles
propelled by something else than an
lmal power That event appeared
on the horizon when the first stor-
age battery was invented. But.
while one set of inventors have bus
led themselves with efforts to make
a storage battery light enough and
at the same time strong enough to
be commercially valuable, others
have studied the possibilities of mot
ors operated by gasoline Their vari-
GUS devices are still III the purely eX-
perimental stage Nobody pretends
that any one of them has become a
commercial success. The contest be-
tween what are called. for want of a
positive term. ''hOrseless carriages"
in France, and that which was begun
some weeks ago at Chicago. did not
exhibit satisfactory results.
That which occurred at Chicago on
Thanksgiving day is much more
promising. All that has been claimed
for the motorcycle" was that it
could make good time for a consider
able distance over smooth roads.
The condition of the streets in and
around Chicago at the time this trial
took place was such as to discourage
all who took part in it. There had
Just been a tremendous storm which
left the highways almost impassa-
bic by the accumulation of snow and
slush. Through this forbidding mix
ture the vehicles had to make their
way on the appointed date. The
major portion of their energy was
consumed in overcoming this resist
ance. The test is therefore no fair
measure of what they could do on
a road III even the ordinarily bad
condition of the American thorough
fare. To have completed course of
ttfty-four miles in less than ten hours
and half tcstitieS to the extraor-
dinaly strength and endurance of
the machine that made this record.
Even those that failed to finish
showed what they could do under
more favorable circumstances.
The street vehicle propelled by it's
own motor is now mitch further ad-
vanced than the electric light was
from ten to fifteen years ago. All
the initial difficulties have been
overcome. \ practical success has
been achieved. What remains is the
perfecting of detail and the cheap
ening of processes which will make
the invention commercially valuable
to the public. We have little doubt
that the conquest by these devices of
all roadway traffic will be as rapid
and complete as that which the elec-
tric railway has won over the old
horse railroad within the last
few years. The day of the moto-
cycle is at hand, and now we ought
to consider more accurate and
sensible name for it.

INHERITANCE TAXATION.

The people of France have gone
much further than those of any of
our states in the direction of taxing
inhrlitanc"s. Several of the states
of the Union have passed laws i'm
posing taxes ON property as it
deSCends from one generation to an
other. and such tax has been urged
strongly upon the people of Mime
sofa. II has been fought bitterly on
something the same ground taken
by the opposition to the income tax
although without anything like the
same justification. The law OF New
York, for example, simply requires
the payment of certain tribute to
the state whenever a great fortune
passes from one poSSessor to anoth-
CT. Being tax on property. whose
safe transfer from one genera ton to
another is guaranteed by the state.
tice. and will undoubtedly be more
or less adopted in all the states. The
law which has just been passed by
the French chamber of deputies is
much more sweeping in its provi-
siUns than any that has been pro-
posed in this country. 1t is, indeed.
almost revolutionary in its severity.

THE UNITY OF ART.

The strongest impression which
the listener carried away from Mr
Jefferson's graceful address before
the School of Fine Arts yesterday
morning was Of the speakers belief
in the essential unity of all forms
Of art. 1t was not only that Mr.
jefferson specifically referred to and
brought out the fundamental rela-
tions between the art of the actor
the painter. the author. the orator.
but also that everything he said. of
any art, implied this elemental kim
ship. That idea was the background
of his thoughts about art.
There is, however. an even broad
er artistic unity than that
to which he testified in words
namely, that enviable unity
of spirit and interest which
seems to embrace all those who
share the artistic spirit, and to this
also Mr.. jefferson unwittingly testi-
fed. No more gracious tribute to the
brotherhood of art is possible than
was paid by the veteran actor,
crowned with years and laurels. in
spending himself as he did in an
hours delightful but eXhausting
talk, before entering upon the duties
of an arduous professional day, for
the qualification and instruction of
those who are just beginning the
study of art and its varied prob
lens. The substance and the spirit
of his address will remain long with
friends who We're SO fortunate as to
hear Mr Jeffersons address.

TEE Pueblo Adviser is not very we'll
advised when it says Edward Kruger
claims to have ridden on bicycle from
Cottonwood Springs to Buena Vista, a
distance Of Ave miles, in ten minutes and
six seconds. This knocks the record all
to pieces, but unfortunately Kruger had
no witnesses. Then the road was down
very steep grade all the way with
sti6 wind at his back. Mr.. Kruger can
not have the record but he can have the
reputation for performing piece of
reckless riding which no bicyclist who
values his neck would care to undertake"
Tho facts are that the road was accurate
" measured by surveyor and the ride
was timed and the record goes. The
road was not an excessively steep one,
being one Of the finest for carriage drives
In the state. II the Adviser man would
get sway from home once in awhile he

From the Phonograph.
Mrs. Lettie G. Minton got back from
Delta last evening.
Lille Bailey, OF Delta, is visiting
friends in the city this week.
Lawrence Palmer, an old timer in this
camp, came in from Delta Saturday
evening.
A man named Wilbur, of Delta, who
has visited Lake City every season for the
past ten years, met with an accident this
week, over in the Goose Creek country,
about six miles from Spencer, which
nearly cost him his life. He was driving
spike" team when the fastenings Of
the lead horse gave way letting the
whiffletrees onto it's heels and causing a
runaway, in which Wilbur was thrown
under his wagon, sustaining compound
fracture OF the loft leg and badly dam :
aging bis right hip. H. G. May and
Dick Best, who were prospecting in that
country, turned their horses loose at
night, and in the morning while out
after them they discovered Wilbur, who
must have perished had he not been
found by them, as he had lain there for
16 hours, and his injuries were 30 in.
famed that death would have soon re-.
suited. Mr.. May rode to Spencer in all
haste after physician. and the injured
man was removed to cabin by Mr..
Best and given every attention that
could be provided. He will probably re-
cover, but the memory OF how near he
came to dying, alone in the mountains.
will linger as an unpleasant recollection
for some time to come.
