The new Methodist church seems to

A meeting of church members aud
congregation was held at ten o'clock
Sunday morning at the church, and
a large number of liberal subscriptions
were made. The subscribers can make
their payments in five annual install

to the building plans.
The following is list of the sub.

The Cleveland Plaindealer, one OF
the leading Democratic papers OF
Ohio, says that the election of John
r. Mclean as governor of that state
fortunately is an impossibility." 1t
says that his nomination is simply the
success of the barrel and the toss, and
that his election would be calamity
to the party and the state. This will
be hard rap to those Demo-pop pa
pers that have been hailing the nomi-
nation with delight. The Plaindealer
further says that. despite boodling
and bossing he will be the worst
beaten candidate that has run for Of
fee in the state since the civil war"
This is a somewhat different view Of
the situation than that given by our
neighbor down the street, which said
a few evenings ago that If it was to
forecast the result, it would be that
Mclean would be elected. But Ohio
is not likely to be troubled with John
R. Mclean as governor.

In che county seat fight over in Rem

lost its chance through the action of a
newspaper man at Olivia, its chief rival
for she honor. The law requires the
publication of the notice of petition for

hshed in the county. 1t is said the
Bind Island boomers were a little late,
and the Olivia publisher was about
ready so go to press and refused to de-
lay his issue to accommodate them,
hence it appeared in only one issue of
his paper, instead of two, as the law

that Bird Islands chances are nil. 1t

WHAT CONGRESS SHOULD DO

WHAT CONGRESS SHOULD DO.
A Seattle, Wash, dispatch states
that Congressman McCleary and family
are stopping in that city for few
days, and in an interview Mr., Nc
Cleary said:
There will be several important
questions to come up at the next session
of congress. We will have the problem
of the Philippines with us, and re-
cognition of the fact that we are now
world power and will hereafter be con-
suited with in matters concerning the
nations. Also that we are greater
nation, reaching out after new COM
MERGE. This latter fact implies two or
three things. We must have the best
machinery of commerce. We must
have sufficient supply of American
ships to carry all American goods and
we must have such revision of our
banking system as will give US the
proper instruments to carry on this
worldwide commerce.
"The most important thing is to be
able to get draft at New York, San
Francisco or Seattle that would be pay
able in Hong Kong, without having to
pay tribute to the financial exchanges
of London. We have more capital in
this country at the present day than
Great Britain ever had, yet we, as
part of the whole world, must pay tri
butte to her. 1 want to see New York
or some other American City, the clear
ing house of the world, as it has the
right to be.
Zone of the faults in our banking
laws, which do not permit the establish
ment of any branch of national bank.
This law should be repealed. 1t is one
essential factor in our development
that our banking houses have branches
in all countries of the!world. Then we
can carry On commerce with the world
as we should"

gave that body some good advice, and
especially in view Of the fact that

That was what the people wanted and
is what the council should practice,
and it should be of the most rigid
kind Not dollar should be laid out

solutely needed for the protection Of
life or property. This is the correct
line of duty, until municipal finances
turn for the better. OF course i'm

In both systems the air is carried in stor
age TASKS, but in the single expansion mo-
tors the cylinders are in direct connection
with the aXles, while the compound expan-
sion motors are connected to a counter
shaft whose pinfons engage a gear wheel
on the axle.
The success of both motors, however,
has been sufficient to warrant Their use on
street cars and it will probably not be long
before companies in other cities will take
advantage of the new invention. In New
York it is said to be the intention of the
Metropolitan company to place its entire
system under some such system of opera
ton, in which case the compound expan-
sion motors would be used on the trunk
lines running north and south and the sin
gle expansion motors on the cross-town
and shorter lines.
The accompanying design is from plans
given out by President Hoadley of the Air
Power company, and it furnishes an ex-
.cellent method of studying the subject of
how compressed air makes the wheels of
the of the car go round. The diagram in
the upper left hand corner of the illustra-
ton explains the flow of the compressed
air. The air is enclosed in the steel TASKS
r. r., at pressure of 1900 pounds to the
square inch. From these TASKS it flows
in pipes around the heater, H, to the re-
ducing valve V, where its pressure is re-
duced and its flow equalized. THE air
then passes through a hot coil to the high
and low pressure motors M NJ in which it

when the compressed air motor may be
said to have been proved a success, Is an
interesting subject of study. More than
fifty years ago Brunei, the great inventor,
conceived the idea of making use of COM
pressed air, and he was so confident that
he was on the track of the greatest dis
covery of the age that he built railway
in England several miles in length and
equipped it for compressed air, with pow
err stations and condu'ts between the rails.
His system was to have the compressed
air forced into the condu.ts into which q
piston, attached to the car by means of a
pillow, was placed. 1t was intended that this
should slide along and furnish the motive
power but the whole scheme was failure.
During the next half century repeated
efforts were made to solve the compressed
air problem. but none succeeded as there
was always a serious loss of power due to
the fact that a large portion of the energy
expended in COMPRISING the air was trans
formed into heat, which subsequently was
lost by radiation Another trouble that
could not be overcome was that when the
compressed air was utilized in motors it's
expansion was accompanied by reduction
of temperature which produced accumula-
lions Of ice sufficient to choke the exhaust.
The repeated failures along this line have
tended to discourage those whose interest
in this phase of invention was not of the
most vital character and the progress that
mas been made has, therefore, been almost
unnoticed. The experiments that have been

made during the past few years however,
have unquest.onably solved the problem,
for now compressed air motors, of single
as well as of compound expansion, have
been made that are almost perfect in their
construction, and the recent organization
of the International Air Power company,
with its capital of millions of dollars, will
do much to remedy the slight defects that
now remain in the invention.
The difficulties that caused the failure of
all previous inventions have been overcome
in the new motors by the discovery of bet
ter methods of compression Now the work
is done in succession stages, with interme-
diate cooling, as well as by relocating the
air just prior to- the time when it is intro
duced into the cylinders of the motor. The
relocating is done by passing the compress
ed air through a tank of hot water before
placing it in the cylinders.
The single and compound expansion mo-
tors are very similar in the construction.

The introduction of compressed air as
the motive power on certain of the cross
town lines in New York, which occurred
less than a month ago, has done much to
increase the interest in this class of motor.
As the compressed air motors have been
looked upon as somewhat visionary in their
nature by the general public the announce
ment that they were to be used in the New
York streets came in the nature of a sur
prise
To those who have kept in touch with
this line of thought, however. there was
nothing astonishing in the announcement
for during the past two years the compress
ed air motors have been improved to such
a degree that, in point of economy at lest,
they compare favorably with the other and
better known motors.
