DR.. Alfred w. Hyde was born April
Goth, 1854, at Birmingham, one of the
great manufacturing towns OF England.

physician, brought his family to
America in 1857, settling in Illinois.

store. He attended the common
school and finished a four year class
ical course in the Grand Prairie semi
nary at Onarga, H., teaching school
between terms to defray his expenses.
He secured his medical education at
the Cincinnati Eclectic Medical Insti-
tute and the Chicago Homeopathic
Medical College, graduating from each
institution before beginning the
active practice OF his profession. After
finishing his college work he practiced
medicine with his father until 1884,
when he came to this state and located
at Gary. He came to Brookings in
1899. AS a man and citizen he is
highly respected and as a physician
he has a high standing and has built
up an extensive practice.
During his college life DR.. Hyde
took a prominent part in the various
student activities, and graduated as
president of his literary class of ten
members. He delivered one OF the
four chair lectures Of honor at the
Cincinnati Medical college, and won
honorable mention upon his gradual
ton at Chicago.
In South Dakota he took an active
part in the constitutional convention
campaign in Duel, Grant and Roberts
counties in 1889, and was assistant

The statement that Congressman
Mann made a speech before congress
attacking Governor Crawford is false.
He wrote a speech founded upon the
statements made during the campaign
OF last year and which upon investiga-
ton the grand jury refused to counte-
nance, and had the speech recorded in
the congressional record so that it
might have free distribution. The
secrecy which surrounded the insertion
OF Mann's speech in the congressional
record and the fact that Mann has no
interest in South Dakota affairs,
which would warrant him in his
vicious statements, bear evidence that

exploded gas is held by a check valve
that will not open to allow the ingress Of

reached by the explosion in the cylinder.
When 1t is desired to start the motor
valve is opened and pedal pressed

When the pedal is pressed down part

when the pedal is released the extra
cams are moved back and the rear cylin-

servation

According to E. T. Birdsall, one of the
first practical engineers to engage in the
automobile business, the tendency at
present is toward the manufacture of
medium powered cars.
While the large seven passenger cars
are popular with certain class the five
passenger cars are the best sellers.
A seven passenger car usually means
a party of seven with dinners for seven,
lunch for seven and often drinks for
seven. In the opinion of Mr.. Birdsall
there will always be a demand for the
large car. but the less expense of opera.
ton for the smaller car of medium power
will soon begin to influence the trade.
While the powerful runabouts for two
persons with motor of sixty to ninety
horse power are very pleasant to drive,
giving as they do a sense of great re-
serve power, the owners of such cars are
beginning to learn that they are source
of much greater expense than the car of
from twenty to thirty horse power that
in this country will travel at as high
speed as the average road allows.

w. G. Collins of the Los Angeles
Motorcycle club is building a special rae
ing Indian motorcycle that he expects to
set some new records with.
He will use the four cylinder motor,
and set it in a specially constructed
frame that will lower the center of gray
ity several inches. The seat will be well
over the rear wheel, and there is a good
prospect of his doing some hair raising
stunts when he gets the speeder finished.
He has entered the hill climb to be held
at Riverside. and from the way two

Sunday without forcing, he hopes that he
will be able to trim the time of the fast
est automobiles on the hill and take the
laurels from the Wagner that now holds
the record on the hill.

MAINTAIN SECRECY

by Riders Of wo-WheeIed Pop

take Assured

Exceptional progress is being made in
the development of motorcycles and the
demand for the efficient little machines
with two wheels was never larger than
at present.
The Pope manufacturing company has
promised a new multicylinder machine,
but when 1t will be placed on the mar
lzet is not known. They have main
tained an air of secrecy in regard to the
machine and very little is known of its
design except In the experimental depart
ment.
One of the things most desired by the
man who rides a motorcycle, especially
the one who tours the country to any eX-
tent, Is a change speed device Several
of the European makers are putting out
models that have the change of speed.
and in some cases a free engine. The
American makers have to a large extent
sacrificed all they could, and still re-
main safe, to lghtness.
One thing promised by some Of the
makers of the 1908 models is a mechanical
intake valve. AS the automobile manu.
facturers came to the conclusion some
time ago that mechanically operated
Intake valve was advantageous. It is
somewhat surprising that the motor
cycle makers have not followed suit
sooner.
The Reading Standard put out a ma
chine with mechanical intake valve this
past season that has given excellent sat
isfaction and increased the number Of
riders of the speedy brown machines
very appreciably.

A tiny Baker electric automobile has

on account of the curious crowd that

The little machine is to be given away
by the Hamburger department store next
February and is now being used to adver-
tise the fact.

toy it is really very efficient. 1t will run
at the rate of ten miles an hour, and the

noise in other places.
There is no reason why the mufflers
should not BE- effectively closed. as the
loss of power is almost inappreciable ex-
cept at higher speed than is allowable
within the city limits.
The city council of Pasadena recently
passed an ordinance preventing the nui-

without exception have needed it faith
fully. Only a few arrests have been
made and most of those were non-resi-

ordinance took effect was most marked
and greatly appreciate by the public.

citizens who petitioned the council.
