ALAskA's OIL BURNING STEAMERS.

Dawson dispatch to Seattle Post-Intellgencer.
The Northern Navigation Company, which mas
been burning oil its larger packets on the lower
yukon the last several seasons has tested tho
process sufficiently pass the experimental stage
and VIII put oil burners on some Of its other
steamers next year
TWENTY-FIVE more were required each
packet while burning wood than since oil has been
introduced
In addition to the saving Of help and original cost
of the saving of time is big factor in this
land OF short seasons and long distances On each
packet four hours day Is saved by reducing the
time of taking fuel
The oil carriers of the Northern Navigation Com
pany have distributed the fuel at several stations
along the lower river in sufficient quantities to keep
everything running smoothly until the new supply
can he delivered next year. While the large steam
ers on the Yukon will be equipped with oil. the
smaller craft, plying the side streams. probably
will be kept wood diet
The oil is carried from California to St
Mlchaels in bulk by steamers engaged for the pur
pose. The oil is carried in the holds of the ships,
where vast tanks are fitted for the particular pur-
nose storing the liquid fuel It is removed from
the ships holds by pumps or sphons.

HAVE REVOLUTIONARY FLINTLocKs.
rrom The Washington star.


one of the most interesting & features of the noted
military organization, the Putnam Phalanx of
Hartford. Conn, which visited Washington few
days ago, related by Colonel NJ A. Winter,
commander of the Minute Men of this city II
was that the members all armed with Origi-
nal hntlock muskets that were used by Continental
soldiers in the with Great Britain. These
Venerable guns had been stored in OF the ar
serais since the days of Washington and Put
ma mn and other Continental commanders, when Sen
ator Hawley. of Connecticut. himself member
OF the Phalanx discovered their whereabouts and
nj once set about 10 them for the Hartford
soldiers. This he finally accomplished and earned
the thanks of the Phalanxers. The Senator was at
that time chairman of the Military Committee of
the Senate. Another interesting feature of the
Phalanx is that among its active members are
several lineal descendants OF the gallant old Cen
eral Israel Putnam, in whose honor the organiza-
don is named. The present Governor OF Connecti-
cut and many other notable men of the Wooden
Nutmeg State are the rolls of the Phalanx. Its
uniform is exact reproduction Of the buff and
blue suits worn by the sturdy CoItinentals when
they fought for the freedom OF tAe states from

TESLA ON VERTEBRATE PROPELLER
Neither Efficient Nor Effective, He Decides
After Critical Analysis

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Tho prospective ''mfle-a-minute" boat ycu
have described in your Issue OF October 2 Is to
be operated by Vertebrate propeller. that Is
by plates reciprocated and reversed so as 70 raks
the reaction OF both sides unidirectionsL II en-
bodies, besides. a feature OF the so-calied ny
droplane." an old thing. based faulty theory.
Ignoring an important law. In venturing q few
critical remarks this invention I am iu1pellsd
by a sincere desire OF preventing ingenious
man from wasting years OF his life IN fruttless
endeavor. Permit me, then, to point out few or
the salient defects and fallacies of the scheme.
No matter how the reaction plates are vibrated
by bell or chain. eccentrics. cranks or indepen-
dent cylinders with valves suitably controlled ths
mechanical and thermal losses will amount 70 not
less than 80 per cent OF the indicated power. Oh
serve that these losses are avoided In tbs direct
connected screw vessel. IN which at least 50 per
cent OF the indicated horsepower Is rendered ef-
fective. In this new craft only S5 per cent can bs
available for. contrary to some opinions expresseo
IN your report of October n this kind OF propeller
is neither efficient effective. But its prncpai
drawback Is that. whereas in the first case all
the % per cent Is used TO push the vessel forward
in the latter case only 17Is per cent can be en-
ployed for this purpose since. the plates reactns
at 40 degrees. equal amount will be expended
in lifting the vessel To offset these disadyan-
tages the resistance OF the new "mIle-a-minuts
wonder would have 10 be reduced to eae-thiru
something entirely out OF question.
Apart from all this. II is mechanically imposs-
Ole TO reciprocate the plates fast enough to Al
tain speed OF sixty miles hour. I know, from
my long years experience with reciprocatins en-
gines. that at half that velocity the plates woua
not hold out few minutes However. to make
II possible all for this kind OF boat TO earn ifs
title, the total weight would have to be less than
three pounds a horsepower. But a yacht ike c h
Flint's Arrow. which. with little over for's
pounds horsepower. reached forty-hve niles
could easily attain sixty miles with total veisn'
of eighteen pounds horsepower.

RECIPROCITY WITH GERMANY.

AS was to be expected. enlarged trade has re-
suited from the reciprocity agreement with Ger
many which has been in force since July l. For
the three months of July, August and Septem
ber there a net gain in exchanges, compared
with the same period in 1906, OF nearly S10
100000 The gain in imports from Germany
$5,55O,00O and the gain in exports to Ger
many was $4200OOO Our exports for the
period were S5O,3O7,OOO and our imports were
S43 S44O 900. The showing is one which ought to
satisfy both parties 10 the agreement.
AS The Tribune has argued in the case of the
Cuban agreement and Of our earlier agreements
under the Mckinley act, each compact must
stand or its own merits and be justified by re-
suits. There has been some complaint that we
were making a losing bargain with Germany,
but the trade returns do not support that com
plaint The agreement was not originally Of this
countrys seeking, and it had to choose. after
postponng decision for more than year, he
tween signing a probably advantageous compact
and ncurring tariff war. 1t chose the former
course, naturally. the more promising and
convenient, and there Is every reason to believe
that 1t will be repaid both by an increase of
good will and friendly relations between the
two nations and by the material expansion OF
commerce profitable to both.

Called to Fathers Bedside.

Mrs. P. II. Parsons was called to
New York last Saturday on account
of the serious illness of her aged father
G. S. Belknap, who was momentarily
expected to pass away. He has been
making his home at Glenham, N. Y.
since leaving the old home at Union
Grove, this county, some years ago
and has been under the care of east
ern relatives. For some time he has
been ailing with Bright's disease and
some brain trouble. On account of his
advanced age of 78 years and con-
sequently his feeble condition, it was
feared that the end was not far off.
Mr.. Belknap was an old resident of
Union Grove and was we'll known to
the settlers of that part of the country.

Rendered Financial Assistance.

Some time ago Edval Lien, a young
farmer in town of Arctander, had a
serious misfortune of losing an arm in
a corn shredder. Hard as such an
affliction would be under any circum-
stances, it was especially hard under
Mr.. LIENS circumstances. He had
just started farming on his own &C.
count, and thus at the beginning of his
career he was deprived of the power to
work. His friends and neighbors
sympathized deeply with the stricken
young man, and resolved to show their
sympathy in practical manner. Sew
eral of them started out with subscrip-
ton lists in Arctander and nei ghboring
towns, and judging from the lists no.
body was overlooked or refused to
donate. The lists contain 388 names,
and the total of the donations amounts
to S330.S0. The donations range from
25 cents to $500 for each person.
Almost all the farmers in the locality
contributed a dollar piece, the small
er amounts being generally contributed
by young men or ladies. The honors
for liberality fall to the Edman bro
thers-Charley, Herman and David
who contributed five dollars each.
The Tribune has received copies of the
lists with a request for publication,
but lack of space prevents us from
doing SO.
Mr.. Lien desires to extend his most
sincere thanks for the liberal aid
given him in his affection.
