Joe Payne was arrested by Sheriff
Schueller one day last week for the
theft of a watch which he took from
the clothing of Jim Brown without
permission and with no intention of
returning. Payne went to Morton
where he pawned the time piece.
Redwood parties "got wise" to the
facts and the result is-Payne gets
50 days free board from the county,
and Sheriff Schueller has an only

May ReVolutionize Labor
A superficial inspection of the new
motor is scarcely sufficient to fully i'm
press one with the tremendous slgnif1-
canoe of the new discovery. The enor-
nous value of such a motor to the
world is almost beyond the grasp of
the mortal mind. While the public may
at first be sl1eptical Of the working sue
cess of the untried motor, it cannot
but be awed by the limitless realms of
power such a machine If successful
will lopen up.
Every telegraph line that spiderwebs
the broad Americas, every railroad
whose steel tracks girdle the wide
prairies, every steamship that threads
its cautious way across the lakes or
bays of the western hemisphere could
be run by the electricity generated on
the Pacific coast between this city and
Santa Barbara. With the power remain
ing the farmers of the great plains
could drive their plows. the harrows
could be run by electricity; the rakers
would gather in the crops by the same
magic power. The blacksmith's forge
would glow with electric fire, the great
iron and textile mills would throb and
tremble under the strength of the mys-
terlous power. More, the street cars
would be propelled by the deadly juice,
the streets would glow with its light,
the homes would be warm with its
heat. With the power of the waves
from Los Angeles to San Francisco
harnessed the inventors would have
more mower than the world could use:
and electricity would become such a
glut upon the market they could not
give it away.
Must Prove to the World
The Reynolds wave motor has not yet
had an opportunity of proving it's merits
to a skeptical world but the working

motion of the waves and Is emptied into
a large pipe which receives 1t and car
ries 1t to a water mill on the bank.
The rest of the operation is too simple
to need explanation. The turning of the
wheel generates electricity, which Is
collected and put to any one Of thous-
and or more different uses.
Simplicity Attracts All
The extreme simplicity of the Rey-
nolds brothers invention is at once suf-
fcient to commend it to the attention
of even the layman. The working parts
Of the machine are a pump arrange
ment, a submerged valve and a water
mill. The result is electricity that will
continue to generate as long as the
waves of the sea ebb and flow.
To a long -'ertical or upright shaft
is attached longitudinally a broad vane
projecting down into the water like a
great key. The upper end of the shaft
Is provided with a crank and attached
to suction or lift pump. The slightest
motion of a wave will turn the valve
at least little; this turns with it the
shaft, which works the pump. A stream
Of water, varing in capacity with the
force of the wave, is thus pumped up
to the level of the wharf to which the
motor is attached, and is emptied into
a large pipe that conveys the never
ceasing stream to a water mill. From
then on the process is the same as that
Of any other plant that utilizes water to
create power,
Perfect in Detail
In addition to the wonderful discov-
cry underlying the invention there are
many smaller points, each of merit suf
ficient to call for special mention were
not the mind staggered by the magni-
tude of the w4ole. Each shaft, vane
and pump carries a separate unit, hav
ing no connection whatever with the
others except that all empty into the
same pipe. In case some extraordinary
accident should break one of the units
and so put it out of commission the
