|SOUTH DAKOTA'S
ENDURANCE TEST
Armed Cruiser to Proceed Up
Coast on Three Days
Trial Trip
Engines and Machinery TO Meet
ALI Requirements Before
Going Into Commission

The Pacific fleet will lose temporar-
lily one of its handsomest vessels to-
morrow morning, when the armored
cruiser South Dakota, in command of
Captain L. P. Perkins supervising Off
Ger of the navy department at San
francisco, Will leave UP the coast on a
three days trial trip and endurance
run for shaking down the machinery
For six hours after leaving San
Francisco the cruiser will be run at
topmost speed under forced draft,
with every ounce of steam working
under enormous pressure and engines
and machinery undergoing severe
test. During this time the ship must
average 22 knots an hour without a
single interruption. The South Dakota
belongs to the speedy type of cruisers
whose specifications require a minimum
speed OF % knots. or nearly rs miles
an hour, on the trial trip before they
are accepted by the government.
At the end of the six hours forced
draft will be cut off. and the vessel
will steam for IS hours more at full
speed. 1t is expected to develop be-
tween 19 and 20 knots an hour. under
these conditions. Then the engines
Will gradually be slowed down to an
ordinary cruising pace and for "a hours
more this will be maintained. At the
end of this shaking down the South
Dakota will return to port TO be for
mally placed in commission and as
signed to the Pacific feet. During the
run the cruiser may go as far north
as the mouth of the Columbia river.
The South Dakota was built by the
Union iron works, which also con-
structed among other famous ships the
Oregon the Ohio, the Olympic and the
California. Several months ago, con-
trary to the usual regulations, the ship
was conditionally accepted by the gov
ernment under very peculiar circum-
stances. Last November. during the
financial crisis. the Union iron works.
with many other corporations, became
short of ready money. The South Da-
kota had already fulfilled conditions on
its unofficial trial trip, and TO help the
company out the government made it's
final payment of 100000 due on the
contract, which is ordinarily withheld
until after the conclusion of the gov
ernment speed trials. Then the Da-
kota was unofficially assigned to the

asked a solicitous friend.

When women vote it will all be diff

turret and the after bridge may be
closed to visitors, but the officers
quarters will be as open as the Sahara

They went home to dream OF II inch
guns and of the wonders of the tur-

in charge ran the ammunition hoist
and opened the breech Of the gun for
the visitors. The ammunition came UP
with a roar out Of the innards Of the
ship 1t was just like the scenic rail-
way, almost.
One little girl, aged 10. did not go
home to dream OF her day. at least
that was not her first purpose. She
met a friend, also aged 10, near the
ferry building.
Did you like It out at the ships?"
asked little girl No. 2.
"Oh. it was just dear" answered
little girl No. 1. "I am rushing home

showed US over the Connecticut"
And she was just 10 years old.

BLAzEs WY FOR NATION

1t is the belief of the president that
he has blazed the way in which the
nation must go, and that what is needed
is not himself but man imbued with
the same principles and the same pur-
poses 70 carry the work onward. The
president once said that in the execu-
ton of his high office he necessarily
had made many influential enemies who
would seek by every means in their
power to retard or prevent If possible
the reforms which are essential for the
welfare of the people, These men, per-
haps would not be opposed to the re-
forms because of the reforms them
selves; they might even believe In
them, but they would oppose because
the president favored them. Therefore.
the president believes that another man
should occupy the presidential office,
inspired by the same motives and by
like resolution but without such power
full opposition.
There has been an urgent demand In
many quarters for the president'to run
again.
The argument will be made at Chi
cago that with Roosevelt the candidate
the success of the party is assured; and
with any one else it will be doubtful.
The president. however. believes that
Secretary Taft can defeat any demo-
cratic nominee without difficulty.

MAKING ELECTRICITY
DO MORE SERVICE
A Demonstration is Being Given Each
Night at The Store in The Bolster
Block By an Expert.

A remarkable demonstration Of sat
isfactory and economical illumination
is now being given each evening at the
store in the Bolster block formerly oc-
cnpied by Thomas Brady. The demon
strations, which are accompanied by
talks upon the subject of illumination,
are given by G. Walter Jones, an illu-
minating engineer with the Holophane
company Of New York.
The efficiency Of illumination by
electricity for any use where light is
needed is presented in a logical manner.
The utility Of the Tungsten lamp was
demonstrated by Mr.. Jones who sub
ieeted The lamp to rough usage while il
was burning With no apparent results.
Ma Jones demonstration consists Of
knowing how the light given by the
ordinary incandescent light may be
conserved instead of wasted, how a
business man can reduce the size Of his
lighting bill or yet considerable more
light for the amount of money that he
il spending.
The principle Of the Holophane com
pany's argument is simple and is out
lined in lucid manner by Mr.. Jones.
The company starts ON the theory that
the ordinary electric lamp wastes most
Of the lignt which ought to be avail
ahle. Mr.. Jones explains that the term
i6-candle power is by no means the
power OF the ordinary lamp which IS
actually serviceable. While lamp
ray be 16-cande power at the ceiling
il is by no means of that power at the
point at which ii is used, several feet
below.
The Holophane shade or reflector is
the device which does away with this
waste. The Holophane shade is differ
ont from the ordinary shade in that it
il constructed on scientific principles
instead Of being merely ornamental
The scientific theory used is that of
prisms, which gather the rays Of light
and redirect them. The ordinary glass
shade reflects but small proportion
OF the light and the diffusion is in no
relation to scientific principle.
The demonstration also gives an idea
of the progress that has been made
in lighting aside from the prism re-
Hector and the power of all the lights
from the ordinary Edison carbon fila

MCMILLAN WINS MATCH.
Gets Two Out Of Three Falls From Powers.
Will reet 10. Davis Here Jan. 18th.

A large crowd witnessed the wrest-
ling match at Steyer's opera house on
Friday evening between Duncan Nc
MILAN and Jack Powers. the Colorado
champion. 1t was expected that the
match would be close one and it
was, Powers taking the first fall in
1879 minutes, and Mcmillan the second
and third falls in IL minutes each.
G. S. Marsh acted as referee. Powers
is one of the gamiest and fastest men
ever seen on the mat here, but he is
considerable lighter than Mcmillan,
whose weight was of great advantage
to him, and when he finally, got
Powers tired out he managed to put
his shoulders to the mat, but not
without supreme effort
At the close OF the match Powers
announced that he had been fairly
beaten by Mcmillan, but that he had
a man, 10. Davis, Canadian, who
weighed $50 pounds, whom he would
back against Mcmillan for $3.50 side.
Mcmillan accepted the challenge.
and forfeit CT $50 was put up and che
match agreed to for Saturday night,
Jan. 25th, at Steyer's opera house.
1t will be for $3.50 side, best two in
three falls, cafch-as- catch can. Before
the main event Jack Powers will offer
to throw any three men in Winneshiek
county in thirty minutes or forfeit $50.
Arrangements are being made to get
some of our we'll known amateur
wrestlers to go against him.

Tom Willett Causes Athletic War.

The state agricultural college at
Ames and the state university at Iowa
City are at loggerheads over athletics,
IL breach having been formed which
has brought them TO the parting of
the ways The cause of it being Tom
Willett, Decorahians are interested.
Willett formerly attended school ar
Grinnell, where he played football
and base ball, it is claimed, and was
therefore barred from playing this
year with the Ames football team,
under the rule that students can play
college athletics only three years, and
this is Tommy's fourth or fifth year.
The state university is chagrined at
the action of Ames in playing Willett,
and has instructed Manager Catlin
not to schedule games of base ball,
basket ball, foot ball or track contests
with the Ames college, on this ac-
count, for this year or next.
