WRECK PROOF
New Motar Car For Suburban
Traffic

A motor car that is practically wreck
proof has been turned out of the Union
Pacific shops in Omaha, and in a few
weeks will be sent to Portland. Oregon,
to be placed in service for suburban
traffic
The car is designed for high speed in
terurban or branch-line passenger SER
vice.
In almost every respect it differs from
anything previously put on the track.
In shape it resembles an inverted racing
yacht The roof tapers from the top and
is perfectly smooth and rounded. The
front is tapered to a sharp point. 50 as
to afford the least possible resistance.
This design gives the car an immense
strength, and, what is of more conse-
quence, II is so shaped that it cannot be
telescoped or crushed. In collision it's
momentum will save it from smash
up.
The motive power Is six-cylindered
gasoline engine. The car, however, is
provided with large air reservoirs, in or
by means of air pressure, thereby avoid
ing the series of jars and jolts heretofore
considered insperable from the gasoline
motor
Special attention has been given to the
sanitary features. The floor of the car
is sealed and water tight, and can be
germs and disease. Seats are of leather,
and there are no ledges or crevices to
harbor dust or dirt. Ventilation, heating
and lighting are on novel principles, do
ing away with many disadvantages.
Motor car No. has seating capacity
of twenty-five persons. No. 2, which is
now under construction, will carry sixty
No. 2 is built of steel instad of wood,
and is intended for Journeys of sixty to
seventy miles on the branch lines in Me-
braska.
These cars have been designed and built
at the Omaha shops of the Union Pa
ctfic under the supervision of w. r. Nc
Kean. Jr., superintendent of motive pow
er and machinery, with the special pur-
pose of providing economical and rapid
transit for use on the steam railways in
competition with the electric interurban
railroads.
1t is believed that the success of the
Union Pacific car means revolution in
this kind of travel. supplanting the elec-
trio trolley by the gasoline motor.

When UniOnyille

|. J. Hadley Gives Many Interesting Facts Of
Hmnboldts Early History---An Active Par
tcipant in Many Stirring Events

Thomas Jefferson Hadley is one of the
Oldest residents of Humboldt county ana
one of the most interesting to talk with.
Although he has lived three score years
and fifteen, his mind is as young as 1T
was half a century ago. While he did
not exactly help wheel the dirt old Win
nemucca mountain is made of. he has
wheeled many a barrow load, uncov-
ering hidden mineral in Humboldts hills,
and has been one of the foremost history
makers who ever settled in any State
in the Union.
Imbued with a strong western desire,
young Hadley left the parental roof ir

the plains at a period when it took cour-
age to face the dangers west of the
Rocky mountains. He was full of pluck.
energy and go-aheaditiveness, and when
he left the parental roof 1t was with the
determination of carving success where
the sun goes down" After a hard jour
ney across the Great Basin following an
OK team by day and standing guard by
night in crossing a virgin country, he
finally drove a corner stake in Shasta
county. California, in the fall of 1853.

In 1856 he married the girl of his choice
in the person of Miss Mary Ann Jones

heard wonderful tales about the riches

Western Nevada and Unionville caught
him in 1862. Mr.. Hadleys young mind
was active those days and he pictured
in his minds eye a largely populated
section for this particular county in the
center of the Great Basin.
Just the year before, 1861, the first ses-
sion of the Territorial legislature had es-
tabllshed Humboldts boundary lines and
located the county seat at Unionville
Unionville was not unlike railway trains
of the present day; 1t was in two sec
tions." Lower Unionville was largely
composed Of Democrats and in the up
pertown" many Republicans lived. 1t be-
ing during the DAYS of the Civil war,
party feeling ran high and was very bit
ter. The Democrats wanted to call the
county seat Dixie. but the Repubh-
cans were too strong for them and 1t
remained Unionville, and is still Union
vile.
Unionville had a population of between
500 and 1000 brave hearts. 1t was com
posed of men who knew no dangers or
hardships too difficult for them TO under
take. and for several years Unionville
was Humboldts chief town. The first

Hon. Hoke Smith is making more
speeches than any one else, and is car
rying out complete canvass OF the

SUITABLE CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
Suggestions In Marking Presents and
Selecting Silver.


Individuality should be the one thing
looked for in Christmas gifts, says
Harper's Bazaar They should be the
particular thing the recipient desires,
if possible, and if there is anything
that can be marked it should be. One
handkerchief marked with all the mi
tials is worth half dozen bought with
a single initial which any one might
have. Everything is marked this year,
the lingerie and even fine shirt waists
in tiny handkerchief letters. 1t only
costs few cents letter to do this.
Silver is among the most satisfactory
Of gifts purchased, and there has been
a reaction from the cheap silver of a
few years ago, A good piece bearing
the mark of a reliable firm is worth
half "a dozen others and need not be
costly.
The "black jack" is something en-
tirely new for the bachelors den. 1t
comes from the silversmith and is a
leather bottle, mug or loving cup, with
a setting of silver and lined with cop
per. These are reproductions of old
time pieces now only to be found in
collections, aid then worth their
weight in gold. The new ones can be
bought as low as So for the smaller
pieces. The pocket opera glass in a
small case is another acceptable gift
for the man who is the most difficult

NOW 1T is THE COTTON sPIDER.I

New Blight Which Is Destroying Cot
ton in Georgia and South Carolina.
The department of agriculture. in a
report just issued, says the red spider,
a rust mite, has been quite prevalent
in some sections of the cotton-growlng
area of this country during the past
two years. The spider is minute
yellowish-red mite, which feeds on the
cotton plant principally on the under
sides of the leaves, but at times at
tacking all parts of the plant. The
report says the pest is very probably
distributed throughout the cotton
growing area of the south, although
during late years it's occurrence in in.
furious numbers has not been reported
until the summer of 1903, when it
caused considerable damage to cotton
in South Carolina and Georgia.

GAME BIRD PRESERVES.
National Breeding Grounds Planned
on Islands In Lake Superior.

National Breeding Grounds Planned
on Islands In Lake Superior.
By proclamation Of President Roose-
welt, a copy of whose order has been
transmitted to the Marquette land office,
all the unsurveyed lands in the Huron
and Siskiwitt groups in Lake Superior
are set aside as preserves and breeding
grounds for native birds, says a special
dispatch from Marquette, Mich, to the
New York World. The action taken is
In line with the movement creating
forest, game and bird preserves on gov
eminent lands adapted for the purpose
in all parts of the United States.
The islands affected by the presi-
dents order are remote from civiliza-
ton, an important factor in carrying
out the plan of creating a breeding
ground. 1t is not the purpose of the
department of agriculture, to whose jul
risdiction they have been transferred,
to make improvements on the islands,
but to allow them to remain in their
native wildness, maintaining constant
surveillance in the matter of restrain
ing trespassers and preventing hunters
and trappers from visiting the places.
In the Huron group there are num-
Der Of small islands which do not APP
pear on the official maps of the govern
ment land office. Some of them con-
tain less than a section Of land, while
others include within their boundaries
from 500 to 600 acres. 1t is also or
dered that all bodies of land that may
hereafter be discovered and designated
on the maps shall be included in the
order as withdrawn from pul@ic entry,
the whole group to be known as the
Huron island reservation. There are
eight full sections reserved in the Sis
kiwitt, or Menagerie, group, located
near the mouth of Siskiwitt bay, on the
south side of Isle Royale.

SNOW MEASURING DEVICE
Some Important Knowledge Gained
Through "a New Apparatus.

Some Important knowledge Gained
Through "a New Apparatus.
A new process for measuring tle fall
of snow has been devised recently by
the weather bureau and will be used
this winter, says the Washing,oa cor
respondent of the New York Post. In
der the old basis of measurement it has
been assumed that ten inches of snow
were equivalent to one inch OF water
Recent observations have shown, how
ever, that this ratio is not correct. Elk
periments were made on accumulated
winter snow before it had begun to
melt. A simple apparatus was planned
and placed at a number of points on
the headwaters of rivers and at select
ed localities. The actual depth Of the
snow was measured at regular inter
walls and sections were cut out to de-
termine the water equivalent. 1t was
found that instead of the supposed ra-
ito of one to ten the melted snow in
some instances showed a ratio to wa
ter of five to ten and frequently of
three to ten
The importance of this may be ap-
preciated better when it is realized
that the difference Of a single inch of
water from the drainage basin of a
river may mean a flood. 1t is hoped
that the new information will enable
the bureau to make more accurate fore
casts of sudden foundations.
