FRIDAY. MAY g. 1908.

To those who do not fully keep up with modern advance and improvement in machinery. as we'll as to those who watch such matters, the following par agraph from an exchange will be of Interest:
 The 25.ooo horsepower rolling mill plant of the Carnegie Steel Company is the largest steam engine in the world. and weighs $50 tons without foundation plates and hywheeL. It operates at a speed of 150 to 200 revolutions per minute. Being used to operate the rolls in steel mill, it has to be quick iy reversed at the end of each run. and for this purpose the reversing me- chanigm Is run by a small independent engine. Another small engine is used In operating the steam throttle valves, all of these units being under the con- trot of the one engineer.
 It is difflcult to conceive of such an sngine as this, even for those who are accustomed to see some of the mon sters in that line that are used, both for stationary and locomotive purposes. With all It's attachments this engine, at . rough calculation, must weigh at least 100000 pounds. and it must require enormous strength and solid fly of foundation to sustain such weight. If there is a limit to the size of steam engines it certainly has not yet been reached.

The Richmond NewsLeader. for what reason we do not know, is one of the few Roosevelt defenders in the South. outside his own party. The other day one of it's subscribers sent 1t a photograph of the President and in the letter enclosing it the writer spoke of him as "an animal who has destroyed more value in the West than all the floods and cyclones since the opening. up of that great country; in the South more than the boil weevil and yellow fever; fin the East and North more financial havoc than any panic in the history of the country t" Of course the paper couldn't let that pass. but after reading it's column ed torial reply we are of the opinion that 1t would have done better to print the letter without comment.

Birmingham, Ala, May 6, 1908. Editor of The Montgomery Advertiser:
 In my interview in your paper of this date which you were kind enough to print. and for which I thank you typograhical mistake makes me say that "Mr. Bryan has declared for government ownership but on ly made the prediction that if regulation failed 1t would follow. and that regulation should be tried first" The word never the carbon copy furnished. What I said was this: Mir.

VENICE OF AMERICA

"Venice of America is fourteen miles from Los Angeles.
 The most unique Beach resort on the Pacific coast.
 Among it's many attractions is the largest dance pavilion in the world, the largest skating rink in the world and the largest and finest bath house and plunge on the Pacific coast. Open all the time
 One of the advantages that Venice has over resorts is the fact that one can secure at a most moderate cost. beautiful and attractive villas and bungalows ranging from seventeen dollars and a half to thirty-five dol lars a month. which includes light. water and laundry. These villas are situated on the Venice canals, con- veniently near to the ocean.
 Venice is also well supplied with first-class restaurants at popular pric- es and every thing that goes to make up for a high class Seaside resort.
 Those who wish to bring teams, will find first class stable accommodations at moderate prices.
 Perhaps one of the greatest attrac- tions of Venice is it's equitable cli- mate. From May until November, the thermonmeter hardly varies.
 To those who wish to secure a pleasant summer vacation for moderate costs, Venice of America certainly should be it.

PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN
 OF FINE OAT FIELD
Will Be Used in Advertising litera ture and in the Earth"

Secretary Cowgirl expects to have on display some very fine photos of the field of oats belonging to Chaplain Scott. concerning which, much has been said recently. These photos will convince the most slleptical of the productiveness of Salt River valley land. From them hals tones will be made for the forthcoming issue of the Earth. and they will be used in other advertising literature on the valley
 Mir. Miller. of the Miller Sterling company, who was, before engaging in business here, a government photo grapher, drove out to the field yester- day especially to take several expos ures in different views of the oat field. These oats, it will be remem- bered. will average the field over sev- en feet in height and much will go over eight feet. The party yesterday found the work of cutting in progress.
 The sheafs were so close together that if was impossible to get in to the field with a buggy without knocking them down or removing them from the way. This will give some idea of the yield Sheafs actually had to be nov ed in order to find place for Ihe horse to stand. The way back easterner who never saw rows closer than a roads width and sheafs strewn over the Egypt knolls of Illinois as scarce as whiskers on an elephants trunk. may think this exaggeration.
 The buggy was driven in finally and when the camera was set up it was found that the oats showed way above the canopy top. This was deemed an excellent and effective picture show ing the height of the grain and a view was taken. Another included Chaplain Scott and mounted on his horse. but about all that could be seen among the grain was the outline of the top of his hat. In anpther the reel of the binder was barely visible.
 No unusual methods were taken in
