SHAFT DRIVEN CARS
ARE MOST POPULAR
DEMAND OF PUBLIC NECESSI'
TATES CHANGE
Manufacturers Contend Side Chains
Are More Effective, but Make Shaft
Driven Models on Account of
Buying Public's Preference

With the advent of the 1909 season it
is safe to say that a review of the mod
els for the coming season Will reveal
the fact that there are now very few
American makers deVoting their ener-
gies exclusively to the production of
side chain driven type of car. The
transition from chain to shaft drive
has been more or less gradual, but that
the process is now practically complete
is evident from the capitulation or
those designers who have consistently
adhered to the chains up to the very
last Nor is their surrender to be re-
garded as evidence of their conviction
that the shaft driven car is superior; 1T
is but another instance of the fact that
the public demand is far stronger than
the dictates Of technical requirements,
or the designers preference. If buy
ers will have a shaft driven car, there
can be no alternative than to meet the
demand
In some cases it is noticeable that
makers of high. powered cars have
abandoned the chain drive entirely,
while i'll others only the lighter cars
turned out are of the shaft type, and
chains are still retained on the more
powerful models. There is at least one
instance, that of the r. b. StearnS
company, in which the company frank
ly states that their preference for the
chain driven car is as strong as ever,
but that they bow to the inevitable,
taking the form of an option to the
purchaser on either type. While the
shaft drive has not only proved prac-
teal from the first, as we'll as highly
desirable from every point of view, the
preference for chains on cars above a
certain weight and power is very we'll
founded, and it seems doubtful if the
chain driven car will ever disappear en-
tirely. 1t is quite probable, however,
that the shaft will, sooner or later, dis
place the single chain now employed
on some lighter cars, so that everything
below a certain power will be of the
now practically universal type.

CITY TO AWARD CONTRACT
FOR BIG AMOUNT OF HOSE
1t Is Estimated That Cost for $4,000
Feet Needed VIII Exceed
$4,000, as Price Has
Increased

The city council Monday will award
contracts for the largest amount of fire
hose the city has purchased in one lot
for many years. Twelve thousand feet
will be bought and the purchase prob
ably will exceed $4,000.
The last lot of hose the city bought
cost 70 cents foot, which. would make
the price for the 1900 feet $4,000, but
this class of goods has been advanced
in price since the last purchase, and
the city expects it will be obliged to
pay more.
In spite of the amount of money the
contract represents, no hose agent has
been buzzing around members of the
council the last few days as has been
the custom in the past; and, although
charges of petty graft nearly always
are attached to the purchase of fire
hose, no such innuendos have been
made in connection with this deal.

TAKES PICTURES OF ENTIRE
FORCE ON FIRE DEPARTING NT

Coules, the photographer, has taken
pictures of the entire fire department,
including the mayor, members of the
fire commission and Secretary Charles
McKeag. More than 300 pictures were
taken, and the photographer will make
reductions of each of the members
of the fire department and commission
ers, mount them on a huge card and
present it to the city.
The mayor and commissioners and
Secretary McKeag received individual
pictures yesterday, and they are hand
some specimens of the art of photog-
raphy The photographer did the work
free, expecting to make profit on pic
lures which will be ordered by men,
bers of the department.

PASADENA PREP TEAM
DEFEATS U. S. C. ACADEMY

PASADENA, Oct. S1.-The prep team
of the University of Southern Califor-
MIA went down in defeat before the
Throop academy team today, the final
score being to 0.
Throop's only score was made in the
second half. when Sid Ellis secured
the ball in Throop territory and wrig-
gled his way through his opponents
for run of sixty-five yards. Herd
kicked the goal.
Several times the visitors had the
ball within a few yards of the academy
goal but was each time held for downs.
The visitors played good game,
but were outweighed by the local boys.

A DESTROYER OF DERELfCTs.

It is well Known that the navigation on
the Atlantic Coast of the United States Is
endangered by the presence OF floating dere-
licts, consisting largely Of lumber-laden
schooners from the south. These derelicts are
carried by the Gulf Stream into what
are known as the Transatlantic steamship
lanes, and form a constant menace to naviga-
ton. The Revenue Marine Service of the
United States has always shown itself desir-
Gus Of meeting the wishes of shipping in
teresta in trying to remove these derelicts.
and whenever possible, Revenue cutters
ha Q been detailed for the purpose. Abont

pears that for more than & yea ali vessels

KIDNEYS CURED BY THIS
SIMPLE TREATMENT.

Get your druggist to mix the follow
Ing ingredients: one-half ounce fluid
ext Buchu, one ounce of compound
fluid Balmwort and two ounces of
syrup Sarsaparilla compound Shake
well and take a teaSpoonful before
each meal and one when retiring.
Drink plenty of water between meals
and at night, but little of any liquid
at meal times.
The buchu alone is an excellent
tonic for the kidneys and bladder, but
combined with the excellent qualities
of balmwort and sarsaparilla, it's eff
cacy is ten tines greater. The great
urinary specialist, Gaut, whose single
fees range from $500 to $1,000, ac-
knowledges in his latest reports to the
German Health Bureau that this sim
pie mixture is most reliable and will
cure all but the most complicated and
aggravated kidney and bladder affec-
tions; therefore, it is well worth try
ing, as it is not an expensive formula.
Putting under the eyes, backache,
headache and dizziness, burning of
the eyes, blurred vision, extreme
nervousness and insomnia all indi-
cate urinary trouble. Many more
symptoms could be named, but the
reader will surely avoid neglect and
prevent serious complications like dia-
betes, Bright's disease, apoplexy and
rheumatism.

WESTERN CANADA CROPS
CANNOT Be CHECKED.
OATS YIELDED go BUSHELS TO
THE ACRE.

The following letter written the Do
minion Government Commissioner of
Emigration speaks for itself. 1t proves
the story of the Agents of the Gov
ernment that on the free homesteads
offered by the Government it is pos
sible to become comfortably well off
in few years:
Regina, Sask., 23rd Nov, 1907.
Commissioner of immigration,
Winnipeg.
Dear Sir:
1t is with pleasure that I reply to
your request. Some years ago / took
up a homestead for myself and also
one for my son. The half section
which we own is situated between
Rouleau and Drinkwater, adjoining
the Moose Jaw creek, is a low level
and heavy land. We put in 70 acres of
wheat in stubble, which went 20 bush
els to the acre, and 80 acres of sum-
mer fallow, which went 25 bushels to
the acre. All the wheat we harvested
this year is No. l hard. That means
the best wheat that can be raised on
the earth. Wedidno sell any wheat yet
as we intend to keep one part for
our own seed, and sell the other part
to people who want first-class seed,
for there is no doubt if you SOW good
wheat you will harvest good wheat.
We also threshed 5000 bushels of
first-class oats out of 160 acres. so
acres has been fall plowing which
yielded 80 bushels per acre, and so
acres stubble, which went 80 bushels
to the acre. These oats are
the best kind that can be
raised. We have shipped three car
loads of them, and got SO cents per
bushel clear. All our grain was cut
in the last week of the month of
August before any frost could touch
it,
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had a late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were
very adverse and unfavorable, we will
make more money out of our crop
this year than last.
For myself I feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked, even by unusual conditions.
l am, dear sir,
Yours truly,
(Signed) A. Kaltenbrunner.
