The Coaster Brake.

The innovation known as the coaster
brake is decidedly popular. Back ped
aling is exceedingly tiresome, and
coasting has steadily declined by rea-
son of the obvious inconvenience of
using the plunger brake, operated by
the foot. With the coaster brake one
can slide down hill without remov-
ing his feet from the pedals. 1t re-
Quires but a few moments 10 become
used TO the new brake, and soon the
sense Of complete control of the wheel
is felt and a comfortable feeling Of
security is impaired, which has never
hitherto been experienced. The coast
er brake will be especially popular r.

cOuntered. Nearly all the brakes Of
this kind On the market are operated
by rollers, controlled by springs, are
simple in construction and easily at
tached to any wheel.

and hamlet in the United States, in
every part of Europe and in such con-
tracted places as Dawson City and
Nazareth, johannesburg and Jerusa-

has some 1000 branches and mem
bership of over 500 900. sprang from
the humble plan of a poor London
clerk. and began in dingy upstairs
room in a dry goods store. Now the
poor clerk is rich and one result OF
that meeting over the dry goods store
has been to make him knight. His
years number nearly so, and he has
lived to make his name a familiar one,

it occurred to him that the castorS

He was a bright boy, with a taste for
mechanics and drawing, and, turn

hit on the scheme Of using a meta;

ing impracticable Why, this will

had stopped to think he might have
realized that the same argument
could be applied to the axle Of a

the patent in the bud; the father told
the son that the plan wasn't feasible

One of the natural resources of the

make for its greater advancement is
the undeveloped water power. The
melting SHOWS on the SUBMITS OF the
lofty mountains rushing downward
with resistless force in the spring form
the headwaters OF our mighty rivers.

primeval grandeur and wildness. In
the tomorrow of western progress the
tourist may see these mighty forces
chained and harnessed moving the
wheels OF industry, and promoting the
good of new commemorative It is
only in the east that anything like
substantial utilization of the water
powers is apparent. In the west there
are but few rivers which do not offer
a cheap and practical water supply.
But the far west is almost an unknown
country yet, and capital, except in a
few isolated cases, has invested little
in enterprises of this sort. The first
utilization of this vast water supply
for power has almost invariably been
made by mining corporations. but this
represents only an infnitesimal por-
ton Of the latent forces 4 few west
ern cities like Minneapolis, st. Paul,
Great Falls ana Spokane, have har-
messed their rivers and are forging to
the front. The dweller in the west,
inhaling the oZOnic atmosphere OF that
glorious region, is naturally an opti-
mist He cannot help it. But his op-
timism is justified by the past records
OF that region, which reveal no hating

on the finest railroads. he lives amid
scenes of the creates; and grandest
natural beauty; he views the settle
ment and growth of new territories.
In fact, all that he sees and hears and
breathes tend TO make him optimistic.
Therefore to him the vision readily
comes of a transformation in this He
