Germany's Royal Testing Office.

In the matter of raw materials,
such as building stones, if a build
er or owner anywhere IN Ger
many discovers a stone which
seems valuable, he can send this
to the laboratory. 1t will there
be tested upon lal ge scale. One
of the most interesting machines
used in the whole establishment
is an enormous freezlng machine,
by which large stones may be
frozen and thawed many times in
the course Of week, thus giving
them all the wear and tear in q
few days which they would re-
ceivs from fifty years of weather
ing. In similar way, machines
have been invented for the test
ing OF silks and textiles, of cotton
thread, for breaking reat beams
or iron and steel to determine
their strength and hardness and
physical properties which make
them valuable in manufacture or
in the arts. An immense labora-
tory has been built up for cement
testing and the testing of build
ing stones and earths of various
kinds. Chemistry has been used
in the most skillful manner to
solve the problems If industry
and to deal with all the compllcat-
ed processes which enter into
manufacture. The aim has been
on the whole, to establish an in.
stituton in which body of ex-
perts thoroughly familiar with
the facilities and the literature of
modern science shall be ready to
turn themselves atany lime to tine
solution of any practical problem
which the inventor, the manIfac-
turer, the metal worker, the firm
er, or the builder might brins, to
them. From "How Science Helps

BELIEVE DOYLE WAS
VICTIM OF FOUL PLAY
Friends of Man Who Was Sentenced
to Penitentiary for Forgery Think
That He Was victimized by GAM
blers While He Was Intoxicated.

Chas. Chariot, one Of the guards of
the penitentiary at Walla Walla. was
in the city Sunday for the purpose Of
securing J. G. Doyle. who was con-
victed of forgery and sentenced to
one year in the penitentiary by Judge
Steiner on nuary 3.
Doyle's case is one OF the saddest on
recor in this city and has created a
great deal Of pity and sympathy for
the young man whom it is believed
was the victim of foul play. The
check which he passed was written
in a fine easy hand by some one evid-
entity accustomed to writing. While
Doyle admits he passed the check it is
evident that he did not write it for he
is very poor writer. On the night
that he passed the check Doyle wa
drunk. He states that he had taken
four or five drinks and that for two
days after his mind was blank. Or
dinarily Doyle is quiet peaceaple
fellow and no one who knew him
would believe him to be a man who
would commis crime If in his right
mind. 1t was with extreme reluct
nee that Judge Steiner sentenced him
to the penitentiary, but in the isoe
of the evidence produced and accord
ing to Doyle's own statement he could
not do otheyw wise. Those who are
familiar with Doyle and the circum-
stances surrounding his crime believe
that he was the victim of gambler
who infesk certain saloons of the city,
and that after drugging him they in
duced him to pass check on the bar
tender which they themselves had
written.
Doyle's crime was directly at
tributable to drink and in this con-
necticn Guard Chariot stated that n
canvass of the Ienitentiary at Walla
Walla on New Years day brought to
light the startling fact that the crimes
which have placed over nine-tenths
of the men there were the direct le-
suit of drink.

ROAD WILL DEVELOP
MINING PROPERTIES

Edward Ellis superinteDden and
manager of the North Star Mining
company in the Red Mountain district,
was in Wenatchee on January 8, look
ing up the prospects for the Red
Mountain state road that was survey
ed by County Surveyor Navarro last
summer. Mr.. Ellis left for the
mountains this morning. He say s
that some ten or twelve rich properties
will begin operations as soon as the
road for the bringing in Of supplies
and machinery is finished. At present
all supplies have to be packed in ov ver
trail of 80 miles The property that
he represents has been developed under
great difficulties and has packed in a
sawmill plant part of the way. They
will take III a complete compressor
plant and also cyanide plant as soon
as the long hoped for road is finish
ed. These and other!contemplated i'm
provements will spend 10 Chelan
county hundreds of thousands of
dollars and Wenatchee as the natural
cen jer and supply point, will be large
ly benefited.
The completion Of the road will be
the mea MS of developing this as we'll
as many other promising mining pro-
perties alcng the route.

LOW WATER ON RIVER
HAMPERS NAVIGATION
No More Wheat Can Be Brought Down
the River for at Least Six Weeks
Water Is Shallow at Wenatchee
Docks.

Owing to the very low water in
the RIVER, the G. and o. Steam boat
company has practically discontinued
hauling wheat down the river althou-
gh flour from the various up country
mills is being brought down the river
and up river merchandise is being
handled without difficulty.
Though the Entiat and Chelan rapids
are dangerous and difficult to navigate
the chief trouble is at the Wenatchee
docks of the company. The water is
shallow at this point making it
difficult for even the smaller boats of
she feet to make landing.
T. A. Davies, general manager of
the company, states that this troU bic
will continue for six or seven weeks
OF until about the middle of March
when the snow will begin to melt
and raise the river. The company
will be able to continue nav igating
the river with the smaller boats.
Though there is no immediate pro-
spect of shipping the grain farmers
of the Big Bend are hauling grain to
the river in larger quantities than inr
several months. The roads are excel
lent for shedding in Douglas county
and the farmers are taking every pos
sble advantage of the fact.
Wheat is piled up in immense
quantities at the warehouses along the
river. All of the warehouses are buy
ing and at Bridgeport and Tramway
there are 100, 900 bushels piled in the
open.
Grain men have no fear of any loss
as the wheat is amply protected against
snow and the possibility of rain is too
remote to be considered.
