stationed at West Point. was also pres
ent. as well as General Whcoler's SIS
ter, Mrs. Sterling Smith, and her soH.
The family were summoned to the
bedside of the patient at midnight last
night, when the doctors. in ~ConSuita-
ton, concluded that the end WAS hut
Il matter of hours. The general was
then awake and conscious and his
mind WAS apparently active. lie
seemed to know that death was APP

Especial to News and Observer
Greensboro, n. c., Jan. 25.-That a
noon when the news flashed from
Washington that the President had
named G. p. Frazier as postmaster for
Greensboro, would be a metaphors
cally correct statement.
Postmaster Glenn's term does not
expire until February 18th, and it had
not been supposed that his successor
would be named so early.

ton here was that the appointment

For some time. many of his erst-

"DOPING" AUTOMOBILES.
Picric Added to Gasoline to Give More
Power.

The New York World tells of the |
method of doping" automobiles to
secure increased power in races. The
World says:
Eighteen of the swiftest motor cars
in the world will start in the great
Vanderbilt cup race on Long Island
next Saturday and, with possibly a
few exceptions, every machine in the
race will be "doped" in much the
same manner as a race horse or six
day bicycle rider is "doped" for a
race.
Few people know that racing auto
mobiles are "doped" to increase their
speed. In this way more power is
added and instead of a racer being
endowed with 100 horse power, as
stated on the official program, 1t
will generally be found that the
power is many times greater because
of dope" The racing rules of the
American Automobile association, and
for that matter of all large racing as
sociations, place no penalty upon
owners for doping their cars, so
the stuff is almost invariably used
|
ters.
There is absolutely no difference in
the action of dope" on an automo-
bile and race horse or human
being. The dope" is a liquid called
picric that is mixed with the gasoline.
1t makes the oil far more powerful
and the engines throb and tremble
from the pent-up force. Often cylin-
ders crack because of the added
strain.
Many believe that dope" is as in
furious to a motor car as 1t is to liv-
ing thing. They say the auto manu-
featured for racing purposes today
is as near akin to a living thing as
man can make. 1t has a stomach
that must constantly be fed. lungs
that belch forth gusts of fire and
smoke, mouth that gives the smoke
and fire exit, feelings so fine that one
wrong touch will send the car to per-
dition.
Thus dope" will play an import
ant part in the Vanderbilt cup race
During the elimination trial a laymar
heard a mechanic near the Thomas
garage at Krug's Corner speak OF
doping" one of the machines, and
he told his friends a foul was being
perpetrated upon the other drivers
4 representative of the manufacturer
of "energine," one of the terms uset
for the dope" stood near and ex
planned what was meant.

OREGON NEEDS BETTER WATER LAWS

title of the waters to the lands they
irrigate.
Much talk is heard about the gov
ernment not giving Oregon her full
share of the reclamation fund. Per-
haps II we will meet the reclamation
officials half way and adopt modern
laws to fit the demands and needs of
our present water users, the men in
charge of the government work will
give us what Is coming to us.
At the recent meeting at Salem
Morris Bien, of the reclamation serv-
ice, presented a code of laws which
he said he thought would fill the bill,
and if our lawmakers would adopt
them we would at least have a ground
work of a system that would put our
state on par with other states in
which the reclamation service is OPP
Grating.
Mr.. Bien did not claim that they
could not be picked to pieces by
hair-splitting attorney. But he did
claim, and does claim that they were
drafted along the lines of the best
laws of Wyoming, Colorado and Utah,
ana lIldl tiler duuptlOH WOuiu give us
as good a code as any state In the
country has.
And we must all admit that Mr..
Bien has had exceptional advantages
for looking into the matter. He has
charge of the legal part of the recla-
nation work. He has no private AK
to grind. He claims that the depart
ment with which he is connected is
averse to putting money into our state
under the present laws, and he offers
his services to assist us in framing
laws which he thinks will fit our case,
and we think we should act very
Slowly in setting aside his advice and
counsel.
We do not say that no other advice
should be taken aside from Mr.. Bien's.
But we do say we ought to get to-
gether and consider all propositions,
and select some plan to end the pres
| ent chaotic conditions of Oregon's
water titles, and give adequate pro-
| lection to our water users.
Let us see II we cannot have a rous-
ing meeting at Hood River and come
| to some definite conclusion as to
what we are going to ask of the com
/ ing legislature.

one man will shock the grain. In
this way the two men can put 100
acres in the shock, in about 10 or IL
days. You have all your seed taken
off the ground, you are assured of
the best quality of grain. you have
paid out very little for help. and you
can get the stacking done with very
little expense.
Should there be a rain you would
suffer no loss providing the stacks
were built. II you are farming a
large ares use a 12-foot binder and
two men can do the shocking and you
can cut more acres per day than can
DE cut with a header of equal size.
You will have your cutting done about
two weeks earlier than by cutting
with header. 1t takes large crew
to run header and sometimes large
crew is hard to get. To make header
outfit pay, you have to have a long
run.
Believes In Binders.
The farmer who has to wait for the
end of the run often loses the greater
portion of his crop. The grain has
| to be very ripe before the header can
start a few rains and a little wind
and the best grain will bread and the
header cannot save 1t. All foul seeds
are ripe and are left on the ground
| Stacks have to be built in n hurry
consequently are poorly built, and a
few rains will damage the grain.
Therefore we can see very little ar
gument in favor of the header for the
ordinary farmer. In the Lewiston anc
Asotin flats conditions are differen
and headers and combines may be al
right, but we believe there Is good ar
gument in favor of the 12-foot binder
even in this territory.
Another important feature to b'
taken into consideration Is the mar
Lketlng of the grain. There are few
farmers on the Nez Perce prairie wh'
have farmed- every year since tn
reservation opened and have neve
hauled load of their grain to tn
market. These farmers have goo'
bank accounts, have money loane'
out, have well improved farms AM
are not complaining about the pric
: of grain bags. 1t is evident that thes
farmers have been calculating an
