AUTO CLUB HOLDS DUST TRIALS.
RritOus Find Trouble Is Caused Almsst En-
tireIy by wheels.

The dust trials of the Royal Automobile
Club at the new Brooklands motor racing
track in England recently brought out a field
Of more than forty cars. which we're divided
Into three classes. The Classification in
Guided makers standard machines as listed
in cat alogues, amateurs cars grouped in
club teams and experimental cars especially
desi gned with regard to their supposed
small dust raising effect. The method was
the most complete system OF test yet applied
to this matter and the general conclusions
arrived at as a result OF the ti ais devel-
oped some rather surprising facts. The
final results will not be announced for sons
time.
For the purpose Of the test 100 feet OF
track vas laid with hnely powdered limestone
about o~ne-fcur,h Of an inch thick and ten
feet wide. The approach to this was laid
with q short strip Of the same dust two feet
and three inches wide. which had to be run
over without touching IL with the wheels.
Each competing machine was photographed
as it travelled over the track and upon these
photographs judgment Of the contest will
be based.
The cars PASSED over In the trst instance
at a speed of twenty miles sn hour. the rate
OF travel being set by means of an endless
cord with pieces OF cloth attached at in
tervals. The cord ran over two pulleys.
one OF which was driven by q small electric
dynamo, and the speed OF the competing car
was regulated TO the speed Of the most con-
yenient piece Of cloth in view Of the observer.
The pulleys were set well apart and the frst
one gave the driver ample time to regulate
his speed before he touched the dust track.
Cars which fell short OF or exceeded the
speed were sent back TO keep accurate time.
The onfcial photographer was placed At such
a distance andhelevation as enabled him 10
take the whole dust patch into the field and
some i,o photographs were taken Of the cars
FROM the tests the following conclusions
were derived by an expert eyewitnessJ the
absolute conclusions. Of course. being de-
Dendent on the result OF the photographs:
srrst-The motion OF the body Of the car
over th6 dust is negligible AZ a disturbing
agent. The duet In entirely disturbed by the
wheels-the front wheels ~ much a. the back
wheels. This was prov ed by no dust being
disturbed IN the approach strip which was
mot Touched by the wheels.
"~Second-AfteT the dust has been dis
turbed IL Is further distributed by the shape
OF the car at the back chiefly A square
backed car, especially when fitted with hood,
csuses a great vacuum and draws the dust
"'sThird-The distance between the bottom
of the car and the ground appears to make
youth. The type Of wheel makes ittl.
".Fifth~The amount OF dust raised Is in
direct proportion to the speed travelled up
TO about forty miles an hour; beyond this
Speed there Is very little difference"

new office, all fitted with glass
fronts and Yale locks. Up to date
about 200 of the boxes have been
rented. All the paraphernalia about
the Office ls new, and with more
room and everything conveniently
arranged, the business of the Office
can be handled more easily than 1t
was in the old quarters.
In regard to the payment of box
rents, we publish the following
order, which was recently issued
from the postmaster generals Office:
"Box rents must be collected at
the beginning of each quarter for
the entire quarter, but no longer.
Ten days before the last day OF each
quarter postmasters are required to
place bill bearing the date of the
last day of the quarter in each rent
ed boz. If boxholder fails to re-
new his right to his box on or be-
fore the last day of quarter the
box shall then be closed and offered
for rent and the mail will be placed
in the general delivery"
Postmaster " Ninters requests that
patrons tack this order securely up
on the walls of their memory, so
that they will not have occasion to
get "hol" in the future if they fail
to comply with the provisions there
of and their boxes are accordingly
marked "vacant."
The postofiice department has also
authorized postmasters not to hand
out mail to patrons having lock
boxes. While this rule is not
strictly complied with in many
places, yet Postmaster Winters is
thinking seriously of enforcing il
here. Just as long as mail Is hand
ed out to people who "forget" to
take their keys, just that long will
they keep forgetting" them. II
would be we'll for all who have lock
boxes to get the habit of always
taking their keys when going fol
their mail.

tits quite job to move a postoffice,
even IN a small town like this, es-
pecially when a change Is made
from an old to a new outfit. Mon
day morning there was a scramble
by the patrons to secure boxes
some insisted on having box with
the same number as their old one,
and wouldn't have any if they could
not get the same number, ,-others
kicked because there were no cal
boxes, as they didn't want to pay
the price of lock box, while Others
had some real or imaginery things
to kick about. Postmaster Winters
and his trio of lady assistants bors

patience of Job, and now busines

A jolly Crowd and a Jolly Time.

A party of twenty Montpelierltes
piled into two bob sleds Wednesday
evening and drove to the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Hunter. Hav-
ing invited themselves out they took
along oysters and other good things
to eat. The affair was complete
surprise to "Blll'' and his estimable
wife, but they quickly recovered
from the "shook" and gave the noisy
intruders royal welcome, and from
that moment until 2:3O a. m. there
was something doin' all the time.
Some OF the furniture was removed
from the kitchen and dancing was
enjoyed for couple of hours
or more Music was furnished
by "Sullivan's orchestra" Even
Judge" Cherry laid aside his dig
nifty and joined in the good old
Missouri hoe dowps. About mid
night the spread was prepared and
the hungry crowd did ample justice
to the delicious oyster stews. just
before starting for home flash
light picture was taken of the party.
Regrets were expressed by every
body because they couldn't stay and
just keep on having good time.
Those who composed the jolly bunch
were: Messrs. and Mesdames J. A.

Over 400 Were Present and a Royal
Time was Had Another Party
to be Given.

S. hall last Friday night was de-

Over 400 people, ranging in ages
from 80 to 81 years, gathered there
and had a good, sociable time.
Dancing was the first thing on the
program and for an hour or more
how some of the old folks did
:'shake their feet" An address of
welcome then followed by Bishop
Clark and in a happy vein he wei
coined the old people there and bid
them enjoy themselves TO the fullest
extent. 1t was the youngest look
ing old crowd, he said, that he had
ever had the pleasure of addressing.
A short but appropriate musical
and literary program was then rem
dered, after which refreshments
were served. Dancing was then re-
sumed and continued for couple of
hours or more.
Red badges were provided for
those between so and 90 years, blue
for those between 60 and 10 and
white for those who were 10 or over.

THE CASE DISMISSED
Demurrer in Bulge Contest Case
Sustained by Judge Stevens.
COURT HAD NO JURISDICTION
Case was Argued Tuesday at Black
foot by Array Of Legal Talent
Appeal will be Taken.

Holding that the district court
has no jurisdiction IN the matter,
Judge James Stevens, of the Sixth
judicial district sitting at Blackfoot,
before whom arguments on de-
murrer to the complaint IN the con-
test suit against District Judge
Bulge of the Fifth district were
argued Tuesday, sustained the de-
murrer and entered judgment of
dismissal in the case.
The d, murrer raised the question
of the jurisdi. tion Of the district
court and in the arguments Tues
day made by F. S. Dietrich, of the
Pocatello law firm Of Dietrich d
Clark, chief counsel for Judge
Bulge; by Hon. J. H. Hawley, of
Boise, and jesse Bulge of Salt Lake,
associate counsel, many authorities
were cited in support of the conten-
tion that the suIt should correctly
have been filed in the state supreme
court. An opposite view was taken
by Judge J. H. Richards of BOISE,
chief counsel for the Democratic
state central committee, the con-
testee, holding that this case Is not
80 much in the nature of a contest
as il is a technical issue to decide
the constitutionality of the statute
of the state relating to the 'test
OATH" He admitted that the la
was greatly in doubt, and was not
at all surprised when Judge Stevens,
IN announcing his decision on the
demurrer, ordered the entering of a
judgment of dismissal.
The main argument on the de-
murrer was made by Mr.. Dietrich,
who cited the statutes wherein juris-
dictlon ia vested in district courts,
but referred to the session laws Of
1899 wherein the state Legislature
took the power from the district
court and vested it in the supreme
court.
While no formal notice of appea
has been given by Judge Richards
he privately announced his inten
tion of taking the matter to th'
supreme court and ask for ruling
on Judge Stevens decision, says thu
Pocatello Tribune. The case, how
eyer. cannot thus come before tn
appellate court on Its merits.
