NICHOLS AFTER
$500 PLACE.
Candidate For the State
Board of Taxation.
GOSSIP IN TRENTON
Ward Of Bergen Will be Speaker
And Edge of Atlantic Will
Be Leader.

The Philadelphia Record legislative
correspondent sent the following to his
paper last night:
Trenton, Nov. 23. Opposition to
Colonel Walter E. Edge, of Atlantic
City slated by the organization leaders
for Assembly leader, developed to-day
when Smalley, of Somerset, the father
of the House, Pierce, of Union, and
Vredenburgh, of Monmouth, came to
attend the Tuesday conference of Re-
publicans. All expressed themselves
as opposed to giving official honors to
first-year men, when reelected men,
bers are eager to fill the places Smalley
has aspirations for the Speakership, in
spite of the fact that Senator Freling-
huysen, who is slated for Senate presi-
dency, comes from his county. Cap.
tain Vredenburgh would also like to be
Speaker. while Pierce thinks the lead
ership would suit him. All hustled for
support today but received little en-
couragement, and the indications are
that the slate will go through as ar
ranged by the leaders.
Essex county's eleven are pledged to
Ward for Speaker and Edge for leader
and they need only 10 more to carry
them through, 81 of the Al Republican
members being sufficient to elect in
caucus. South Jersey Assemblymen,
with one exception. will stand by the
slate. The one exception is Nichols,
of Cumberland who declares he was
opposed to Edge because he is first.
year man. There is some belief that
Nichols himself would like to be either
speaker or leader, but his chances are
nil.
Smalley, as the Oldest member in
point Of service. is expected to call the
Assembly caucus for December IA. 1t
is now believed that Captain James
Parker, of Passaic, will be re elected
as Clerk, and that Upton S. Jeffrys, of
Camden, will be chosen again as As.
sistant Clerk. The Senate caucus will
probably be held about December %.
The correspondent of the New York
Tribune says:
"Assemblyman Isaac T. Nichols, of
Cumberland, put in a busy day asking
his friends to urge Governor Fort to
appoint him to the State Board for the
Equalization of Taxes in the place of
Major Lentz, whose term expires early
next year. Mr.. Nichols felt sure of
landing the plum

WILL BUILD
AN ARE0PLANE.
Hettinger Engine Co. Work
on Flying Machine.
A LIGHT ENGINE
Busy Concern is Also Building the
Biggest Gasoline Engine Ever
Erected Here.

From delicate light, but powerful
high-speed gasoline engine for an
aeroplane to ponderous, 60-horse
power gasoline engine for yacht,
seems long stretch, but that is what
the Hettinger Machine Company is
now building.
The flying machine engine is the
invention of Mr.. Henry Hettinger. to
run his aroplane with-when he gets it
done. 1t is yet in the experimental
stage and it will be some time yet be-
fore it is put to actual practical test.
AsPioneer" reporter went down to
the Hetsinger works yesterday-not to
see the machine fly, but to see the
machine incidentally and to see the
works generally.
Mr.. Hettinger says he has got but
very little done on the engine yet,
and glance at the castings corrobor-
ated his statement The engine will
be as light as it is possible to construct
it, and yet 1t will be very strong. to
maintain the high rate of speed that
will be required.
These are the special requirements
Of aeroplane engines they must be
light, to have as little gravitation as
possible, and they must be of strong
material to endure high speed. These
two qualifications are the aims sought
in the Hettinger engine. It will be
some time yet before the aeroplane
will be ready for test
The Hettinger plant, as stated at
the beginning, is making the patterns
for 60-horse-power gasoline engine.
which is the largest gasoline engine
yet made insthis city. This plant is
unusually busySor this season of the
year; it employs over 30 skilled hands
and desires more-needing some
specially skilled machinists. The
company makes II different sizes and
styles of marine engines and several
different sizes Of oyster dredging
machines, as well as small engines for
yawl boats used in the oystering
business.
They have their own pattern shop
and make their own patterns.

WHEAT GROWERS HAPPY.
Prospects for Bumper Crop Are Best
Since 1901.

Wheat growers in the Palouse and
Big Bend districts, taking in IS coun-
ties in eastern Washington, which
yielded 4O,75O,0 bushels in 1907, are
in a happy mood, as the prospects for
bumper crop have not been better
since the spring of 1901. Fall sown
wheat came through in excellent condi-
ton and spring sowing is nearly com
pleted. The season is fully two weeks
in advance of former years, and ranch
ers look upon this as a good sign for
the spring crop. The ground received
an abundance of winter rain and the
moisture has penetrated to a greater
depth than at any time in the last five
years. While the crop of 1908 was
under 100000 bushels, most of the
farmers received more for their grain
than in the banner year of the country.
because of high prices. Others who heid
their grain during the winter ara now
reaping the benefit of the unusually
high price. There is little wheat in the
district this spring. and with the com
bination of the producers in Idaho, Ore
gon and Washington this means that
buyers viii have to increase their bids
TO bring out any grain. Elevator men
and mill buyers predict that all kinds
of good wheat viii bring top prices
next fall.
