SAY, BOYS AND GIRLS
GET OUT YOUR SKATES

The cold weather of last night and
this morning put the finishing touches
on the ponds in and around Spokane
and the first good skating of the sea-
son is at full blast.
Many are the vacant seats in the
grades. Willie and Johnny and Tom
my are absent. 81 wonder if the boys

which goes over the class.
But not only are Willie, Johnny and

same pond.
The hardware stores are doing a
heavy business in skates. The de-
mand is steadily increasing. as each
pair sold is an "ad" for another pair.

A New Oil Totor.

The New York papers are describing a new oil motor which certainly wilt accomplish wonders" if it does what is promised. The inventor is Oscar B. Ostergren of Brooklyn. MT. Ostergren was the designer of Charles R. Flint's designed a fine type of torpedo boat destroyer.
 According to the descriptions, the in vention is a cycle engine and gets a power stroke of the piston for every revolution of the shaft, being so ad- justed that it. is impossible to get q back explosion, because the fuel Is fused in at the proper moment and not before. As a result of these conditions, the inventor says, 1t is possible to re- duce the water jacket on the cylinder ing appliances. The oil is taken in at the top fthe cylinder, vaporized, and it's consumption is said to be only one half pint of oil an hour for each horse power. This. however. sounds so ab- surd as to make the whole story seem ridiculous
 The motor is self starting and oper- ates without spark. The inventor explained that the most important features of his machine were in the construction of the piston and the in troduction of air and the cleaning of the piston in such a way that all dead gases are thrown off. preventing back explosions. The oil is condensed by q coil through the exhaust, heating it to a high temperature before it is in ducted into the top of the cylinder.
 The advantages claimed by MT. Os- tergren for his new invention are as follows: That it will revolutioniZe ocean traffic and do away with coaline stations, enable automobiles to go so miles an hour as easily as they now go 40; send fast express trains from New York to San Francisco without taking on a fresh supply of fuel, give stree, cars extra speed, with noiseless, odor- less engines, at greatly reduced ex- pense. and eventually substitute water- less, boilerless engines everywhere for steam and make cheap fuel oil take the place of coal All of which indicates that MT. Ostergren may be using a new brand of hops.

awhile. The attorney general of Illi- nois has certified to the prosecuting attorney of Cook county (Chicago) the names of 5000 corpora ations which have failed to comply with the provisions of the antitrust law of that state, which requires an annual affidavit from each corporation to the effect that it has not entered into a pool, trust, or combine. The states attorneys in other counties are to be supplied with information of the same character, and they will be instructed to proceed against the de- linquent companies.
 The penalty fixed by statute Is $50 per day, and as these corporations have been delinquent for five or six months they are each liable to a fine running into thousands of dollars.
 Governor Murphy of New Jersey, acting in compliance with law of his state, has issued a proclamati dis solving several thousand companies because they have failed to pay the annual fee prescribed by the New ter sey statutes. These are indeed dismal and strenuous days for corporations.

grotesque stage Irishman.'' If their methods were a little less arbitrary we | could wish them luck. for we know of no travesty more unjust to a race than the so-called Irish play of the Ameri- can stage. But we doubt whether the right way to display disapproval of this gross caricature on decent-livine people is to hurl rotten eggs and cab bages at the offending comedians. That performance rather tends to poin, the common gibes at the intolerance and bad temper of the Irish as a race.
 Tt is hard to trace the genesis of the carica ture of the Irishman upon which ignorant artists and actors have united with apparent faith in it's genuineness. Tn the comic Englishman or German or Jew of the stage and the papers we see occasional traces of fidelity to life But whence sprang the gorilla faced monstrosity who represents the Celt in the minds of low comedian and news paper illustrator? Not out of Ireland certainly. As for the comic" concep tion of the brogue, it is the wonder of every Irishman who knows the real variations from the English language which are practiced with grace or gro- tesqueness by the greenhorn from the old country.
 we do not blame Irishmen for de- testing these caricatures, but they may soothe themselves with the reflection that the "McFadden Flats" kind of play and the simian Irishman of the comic illustrator are finding their level in the lowest theaters and the mos, vulgar papers where they take their rightful place among kindred mon- strosities. We advise the indignant Irishmen of the Clan-na-Gael to let them abide there in peace. Such out breaks as have been reported in New York and Philadelphia do a great deal more to injure the standing of the race in the eyes of public that likes fair play than a whole race of libellous comedians and caricaturists.

In Chicago, that big city that is ruled by men from Cork, her sisters sister fails to find anything this side of New York.
