All these gentlemen are officials of the To- cal Santa Fe system and are very much interested in the operation of this de- vice and anxious to see it proven a sue ceSsful invention. It will be remember ed that a similar motor was in opera ton some distance south of Mesa about a year ago and was being inspected by some of the men named, when an un- fortunate accident occurred resulting Tn the explosion of boiler or tank of some sort and the wrecking of the ma chine. If it is found to be a success, there are probably greater possibilities for the invention in this region than almost anywhere else.

Burnt Cork of Commerce.

From the New York Sun.
There is a small factory on the Bowery
where burnt cork used by minstrel COM
panies and black-faced artists OF the pres
ent day is manufactured. The business
was started in 1877 by Ed Mills, an old
minstrel. When he died his widow took
charge. About seven years ago she retired,
selling out to a German, who used to be a
Waterman in one Of the Bowery variety
theaters. The business is still run in her
name.
1.-The decline of minstrelsy," said the fac
tory proprietor to the Sun reporter, has
injured this industry great deal, but ]
am still able 20 make fair profits. There
is only one other firm, somewhere out west
that manufactures the stuff, and the COM
petition does not do me much harm and
am able TO get along. OF course, the bust
ness is not what it used to be, but with
the advent of modern theaters and the in
PRODUCTION of incandescent lights 1T might
be worse.
I'm former years most of the Ministries
used to burn old corks over the gas and
use them. But the introduction of cleo
tricity has done away with that Ministries
now prefer the prepared cork, because 1t is
handler and cheaper. The stuff sells for
so cents a pound and this quantity is suf-
ficient to last for months. The cost of man.
ufacture is small and If l had enough GUS
toners 1 would be able to earn plenty OF
money"

Finally 1t came TO a choice between two
hats. and Mr.. Lackaye said:

one?''
That is $35. madame replied the milIi-

WEEKLY CROP REPORT
Corn is Declared by tho Agricultural
Department to Have Done Well
for a Week.

Washington. Sept. 1.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions follows:
While the latter part of the week was
abnormally cool in the Ohio valley,
lowe< lake regions, middle Atlantic
states and New England, temperatures
as whole We're favorable for maturing
crops. a portion of the south Atlantic
and east gulf states suffered from ex-
cessive rains, while drought prevailed
over a large portion of the central and
west gulf states. Occasional showers
very unusual for the season occurred in
central California and there WAS more
than the usual rain fall in the western
plateau districts.
Freezing temperatures are reported
from central Wyoming, and light
frosts from Colorado. Montana and
portions of Ohio. Pennsylvania and
New York. Although cool weather has
prevented rapid development of the
corn in the Ohio valley and lake region.
The crop as whole has experienced a
decided development. Some early
spring wheat in the northern portion
Of North Dakota is not yet ripe. rust is
still damaging late wheat in that state
and much of the crop will not be cut.
