Take one example:
The crank shafts of ordinary are suspended
from a bearing at either end There is play in the
middle Where there is play, there is added strain
And there are broken crank shafts as result
In the Mitchell Crank Shaft there are hve bear
inrs One at each end and thrse extra ones in
between
We have made 5000 crank shafts in this way,
and not single one of them has ever been broken.
Consider this when you look at any other $500
car Open the crank case and bear down Cd the
shaft at its center. See the play, and imagine the
added strain the pistons exert their power upon IT.
Then decide whether you would rather have the
kind OF crank shaft that breaks under sudden
strains-or the kind that, in 900 cars, has never
had 10 be replaced.
We could multiply comparisons endlessiy. But
we would rather that you see for yourself.

JUDGE LOWELL
WILL TOUR STATE
THREE WEEKS CAMPAIGN
FOR REPUBLICAN TICKET
VIII Begin Speech-MalIing Tour In
Sherman and Wheeler Counties
AboK May 15-WiI Cover Every
Portion of the State in Three Weeks
Following.

Judge Stephen A. Lowell of this
city one OF the best platform orators
on the Pacific coast, has engaged with
the republican state central commit
tee to make three weeks tour of
the state on a speech making cam
paign for the republican ticket, from
II. NJ. Cake. the republican senatorial
candidate down to the end Of the
ticket.
Judge Lowell will leave Pendleton
about May Is for Wheeler, Sherman
and other interior counties, where he
will open his campaign and from
there will perhaps go to southern
Oregon, and during the next three
weeks following will cover practically
all of the state for the party candi-
dates.
That united and vigorous cam
paign Will be made by the republican
party for all Of the candidates is now
shown by the number OF speakers who
are being engaged for the field work.
Aside from Judge Lowell other prom
lnent orators from the state will take
the stump, and 1t Is quite probable
that several prominent members of
congress from the east will be brought
TO the state for few addresses before
the close Of the campaign.

is almost certain that the saloons will

FUNNYMARK UNDER BOND.
Former PendIeton Butcher Charged
With Forgery.

"ht
An Interpretation OF the terms Of
partnership existing between ]. Fun
nemark and L. e. Brown, doing a
butcher business under the name OF
L. f. Brown & Co, may decide the
fate of the former in the superior
court when he is tried on a charge
OF forgery, says the Walla Walla
Union.
In the municipal court yesterday
afternoon, Funnemark was tried be-
fore Judge ]. ]. Huffman and bound
over to the superior court under
bonds of 5000.
In the terms of the partnership the
rights of the two parties were de-
fined in rather general terms. Fun
nemark It was conceded, had the
right to issue orders for the purchase
of supplies, although whether he had
a right to pass checks In the COM
pany's name or intended the money
secured for use in getting supplies
were questions in doubt. In view of
other similar troubles in which Fun
nemark has appeared. the court was
inclined to put the prisoners actions
to severe Interpretation.
The check offered in evidence was
for SIS and had been passed upon
George Mottett. Other checks for
other amounts we're alleged to have
been passed on several local saloons.
Funnemark was arrested last
Thursday by Patrolman George Rolf.
