CITY'S FIRST AUTOMOBILE.
Ralph 2. Hopkins Purchases Horse
less Carriage of the Most Inn
prOyed Tyne.

Ralph 8 Hopkins, a well known young
Seattle business man, Is the purchaser
OK the first automobile in this part OF the
Northwest. 1t arrived yesterday after
noon. Although its storage batteries had
not been charged with electricity since
its trial trip In Chicago, there still re-
manned enough TO drive 1t about the city
for few hours.
The vehicle was manufactured by a
well known firm in Chicago, and possesses
all the latest improvements. II is built
as much like an ordinary buggy as pos
sible, the object of the makers being
to produce machine that can be re-
paired by any carriage maker, 1t has 32-
inch wheels i3s-inch hard rubber tires, Is
handsomely upholstered and Is capable
of speed of twenty miles an hour. 1t
weighs complete a little over 900 pounds.
1t has ball bearings throughout. electric
lights and an electric bell. The bat
teries are under the seat. and very little
OF the heavy machinery Is visible. 1t
IL equipped with a powerful friction
brake on the rear axle.
Mr.. Hopkins has the apparatus for
charging the batteries at his own home.
The automobile will run thirty miles with
one charging. 1t can be charged from
any electric light wire. The cost of run
ming IS estimated at little more than
half a cent a mile. The motor Is ga
horse power, but on heavy grade can
be forced to five horse power. The vehi-
Gle can ascend a f6 per cent. grade with
ease.
Mr.. Hopkins bought the machine while
in Chicago, and travelled over 600 miles
with IL in that city.

Of the primaries. The average saloonman.
however, Is as willing as not to have

Before the present week is ended
thousand gallant troopers of the First
United States cavalry will be In camp at
Fort Lawton, as the United States army
post at Magnolia blum is now Called
awaiting transportation to the orient.
Troop X. the first of the eisnt ordered 10
this city arrived early yesterday morn
ing over the Northern Pacific from Fort
Niobrara, Neb.. and was transferred to
the Great Northern and sent out to Fort
Lawton.
At 1880 o'clock yesterday evening 5o6
cavalry horses and twenty-efght troop
ers arrived over the Northern Pa
cifc from Fort Robinson. Neb., and were
taken out TO the camp. where Capt Rob-
inson, who has charge of all quarter
masters department business on Puget
sound, was busy arranging for the re-
ception and accommodation OF the men
and animals after their long journey
across the continent Troop X is under
the command of Lieut.. Hartman.
Seven troops more of the First cavalry
will arrive in this city before next
Thursday and join Troop X, at Fort
Lawton. There will be more than 500 men
and officers. who will bring with them
an equal number of horses. Besides the
troopers there will be a large detachment
OF teamsters and their teams. The quar-
termaster's Office has been notified OF
the fact that $50 mules will arrive here
tomorrow.
The transport Garrone will take the
first detachment of the First cavalry to
the Orient. She viii be followed by at
least one other transport Capt. Rob-
inson has not yet fixed the sailing date
of the Garonne.
1t is quite probable that the First cav
airy will see service on Chinese soil, UNI
less there is a change in the situation in
the Far East. The regiment is ordered
to duty in the division Of the Philip
pines.
Fort Lawton has never before been
designated as a rendezvous for troops en-
route to the Philippines. 1t Is one OF the
finest sites for a military camp on the
Pacific coast being within sight of the
city, we'll drained. plentfully supplied
with water from the city mains and

in the Palouse country is bright. Mr..
Chambers headquarters are In Pullman.
THE crop" he said yesterday at the
Northern hotel. will be one OF the best
ever harvested in the Palouse country.
Roughly estimated, we expect a yield of

good wheat. The harvest will be earlier
than usual.
''The cat crop will be very light. in
deed. almost failure. The farmers,
however, will not suffer very much In
consequence, although the acreage in
oats Is large on account OF the high
price. Most of the farmers go in more
for wheat. The market for this grain Is
satisfactory.

go Republican next fall. My own coun-

for the party.

local agents of the railroads, no reduc-
