HOW IT LOOKS,

"The unique feature of the So
lar Motor is that it uses the heat
of the sun to produce steam. AS
mo fuer' is cheaper than any
fuel, the saving to be effected by
this device is evident. When
the solar rays have heated the
water in the boiler so as to pro-
duce steam, the remainder of
the process is the familiar ope-
ration of compound engine and
centrifugal pump.
1.-The reflector somewhat re-
sembles huge umbrella, open
and inverted at such an angle as
to receive the full effect of the
sun S rays on 1888 little mirrors
lining it's inside surface. The
boiler, which is 13 feet 6 inches
long, is just where the handle
of the umbrella ought to be.
This boiler is the focal point
where the reflection from the
sun is concentrated. IF you
reach a long pole up to the boil
er it instantly begins to smoke
and in a few moments is afame.
From the boiler flexible metal
lie pipe runs to the englne-house
near at hand. The reflector is
33 feet 6 inches in diameter at
the top and Is feet at the bottom.
On the whole, it's appearance is
rather stately and graceful, and
the gllttering mirrors and shin
ing boiler make it decidedly
brilliant"

The Universal Railway Trust

The railroad situation in the
United States is dominated by
half a dozen men. The Wander
bilts, John D. Rockefeller, J.
Pierpont Morgan, John J. Hill,
E. Fl. Hartman ard George
Gould, with the capitalists and
banking houses Unidentified with
them, are able to dictate the
policies ruling more than a
ajority of all the mileage in
the United States. The COM
panies which they do not con-
troll outright must, of necessity,
keep on good terms with them.
AS the Interstate Commerce
commission declared in it's re-
cent report, the time is near at
hand when every wheel will
turn only in obedience to the
will of a few men.
Within the next decade, per-
haps within five years, the
country will have to face the
question OF government owner
ship. A monopoly of the means
of transportation cannot be left
in the hands of a dozen kings of
capital. The power is too great
to be left any where except in
the hands of the government.
Indeed the danger now is SO
threatening that the next con-
gress should take cognizance OF
it and clear the way for gov
ernment ownership. If action
be delayed too long the influence
Of the universal railway trust
will be so powerful as to place
tremendous difficulties in the
way of the people when they
seek to elect a congress that
will handle the railway ques-
tion in their interest.-Rocky

On Saturday, the board OF

from Ash Fork that a hobo had
been brought there from Selig-

The board answered that if the

to have him repaired. AS no
one in Ash Fork would take the
job for that price, the hobo

There is more water in the
Salt River to day than there
has been at any time during the
past two years. Every canal in
the valley is running bank full
and six inches of water is run
ming over the dam. The canals
in the Salt River Valley are now
carrying $4,000 inches of water
and fully 10000 is running by
the head. The farmers are util-
izing the big head to store water
on their lands, some of them
having irrigated three tines in
the past week. That is right.

Recent estimates place the ap-
preparations made and to be
made by the present congress at
$500, 100000, and for the two
years covered by the Fifty sixth
congress at more than a billion
and half, says the Rocky Noun
tain News. The Spanish war
and events and conditions that
sprung from it make necessary
largely increased appropriations
for the army and navy, but there
has been no effort to keep down
appropriations for other depart
ments of the government within
reasonable bounds. On the con-
trary, the greatest prodigality
is exhibited by congress, and ad
ditions have been made to the
ordinary expenditures of the
government without any serious
effort having been made thus far
to check them. Hence the pros
pect of passing the bill to cut
$50, 100000 per annum from war
taxes grows fainter week by
week, and may disappear alto
gether when the appropriations
swallow up all the revenue in
sight.

Mr.. Peterson has introduced a
bill to tax the net proceeds of
mines, presumably with the in
tention of making mining COM
panies bear a larger proportion
of the tax burdens than now
falls to their lot. But the bill,
in its present shape, will have
a dirtctly opposite effect. 1t ex-
empts all machinery, hosting
worke, and Improvement on the
minrs; and the loss through this
exemption will be far greater
than the gain from taxing the
net proceeds. It will take but
very little figuring to demon
strate the truth of this state
ment. Mr.. Peterson should
pocket his bill or change its
provisions. Arizona Blade.

The ceremony took place at O'Clock

elsewhere. The wedding march was
unique in its beauty and appropriate
ness and was SIX llfully rendered by

happy surprise to a host of people
who have the pleasure of intimate

The training and personal example

nate in having Mr.. Byram's natural
and acquired ability in the newspa-
per field added to the already able

RURAL PHONES.
Home Telephone Company Makes
Southern Connections.

There was an important meeting of
the telephone management of the
Home Companies of Oskaloosa and
Ottumwa and representatives of the
Union Telephone Company, between
Fremont and Ottumws, and the Farm
ers & Traders Telephone Company,
of Cedar and Wright, held in this
city Saturday afternoon at the Office
OF the Home Telephone 90. on North
Market street.
Arrangements were completed with
the Oskaloosa Home Co. whereby
about one hundred of the representa-
tive farmers residing between this
city and Fremont and this city and
Ottumwa will have telephone con-
nection with this city through the
Home Exchange.
The 0skaloosa Co. was represented
by Vice-president and Manager w.
d. Dunsmore, the Ottumwa Co. by
Manager II. e. Pancost, the Farmers
& Traders Co. by Oliver Cochran and
Dan K. Unsicker aud the Union Co.
by Messrs. Bradley and Moore. There
were quite number of the subscribers
of the two rural companies also in at
tendance at the meeting.
The companies in operation south
of the city are "Mutual Companies"
Each member otthe company puts so
much into the company for the build
ing of the lines and the exchange. 1t
is corporation with assessable sock
and the members of the company pay
so much per assessment in case the
revenues derived from the operation
of the lines do not pay the cost of
maintenance and operation.
The arrangements made practically
bring all the country south of the city
to Fremont and to Ottumwa in instant
communication with the city and the
conveniences gained by the agree
ment will be appreciated alike by the
members of the city and county.
Oskaloosa has connection with
practically all of the country in the
asst part of the county and then east
to Washington and all centers beyond.
There are five rural lines in east Ma
haska but they are built upon differ
ent plans from the Mutual Com
panies" operating in the south. The
lines are called "party line" There
are ten subscribers upon each line at
an annual cost Of five dollars per sub
scriber. The subscribers on these
rural lines are listed upon the new
directory of>the Home Company and
are known as Rural lines A, B, O, d
and e, and they have connection with
the city and the entire exchange
through the Oskaloosa central office.
The lines are erected by the Home
Company and are part of the com.
pany property.
Material has been purchased for
the erection of piece of line six
teen miles east of the city to make
connection with other eastern lines,
and connection will be had with the
new exchange at Eddyville anC
through that place to Ottumwa, max
ing two connections that this city
will have with Eddyville.
This gives the merchants of Oska'
loosa access to large new field OF
operations. They can now cover all
of the territory in the east part of the
county, and south even to the doors
of Ottumwa trade. The Cedar-KirA.
vile exchange will give connection
west to Abba soon and there is now q
plan on foot for company that will
operate in the vicinity of Buxton.
