Dangerous Rapids.
The spot where the canoe is supposed
to have overturned is one of the most
dangerous in the upper river. Rocks
protrude from the water at this point
five and six feet, and many accidents
have occurred there.
The rapids are very swift 1t is thought

the danger.

Recommendation Of q Regulation
Submitted by the Health oAicer to

That transportation Of meats and SINH

be prohibited. unless they are properly
wrapped and projected from dust anG

ficer W. C. Woodward to the District
Commissioners.
The health officer a few days ago recon-
mended the enactment of a regulation for
bidding the exposure for sale upon any
highway or uninclosed market stand of
meats and other food not commonly
washed or cooked before eaten. unless
properly wrapped. covered or protected
from dust and dirt: and the new regula-
the other and will be icluded In it when
the regulation is drawn up in proper legal
form by the corporation counsel.
Following the announcement OF the
other proposed regulation one of the
prominent marketmen of the city called
on the health officer and pointed out that
meats and other food included in the
regulation are frequently hauled through
the streets from railroad freight yards to
dealers unwrapped and exposed to dust
and dirt. The marketman declared that
although the proposed regulation would
put him to some expense he was willing
to abide by it in the interest Of the public
health. but he suggested that there was
need for a supplementary regulation TO
protect the food while it Is being trans
ported through the streets.

TURBINES WIN THE CONTEST
SHOW SUPERIORITY OVER RE.
CIPROCATING ENGINES.
Cruiser Chester Averages 25.O8
Knots in Twenty-Four-Hour
Speed Test.

Unofficial reports received at the Navy
Department contain many interesting de-
tails Of the recent twenty-four-hour speed
test of the three 4,OOO-ton scout cruis-
ers. The Chester, equipped with the Par
sons type Of turbine, built in this coun-
try of American material. was an easy
winner of the race. The Salem, fitted
with the Curtis or American type Of tur-
bine. was second. The Birmingham, run
by reciprocatfng engines of the best
American make, broke down at the end
of twelve hours when she was practically
distanced.
The race was partly 20 determine the
respective ability of the reciprocating and
turbine engines at high speed and their
coal consumption. AS the Birmingham
dropped out it Is likely that her PERFORM
ance will be counted only for the twelve
the turbines. The impression of the ex-
perts aboard the cruisers is that Uncle
Sam has the finest squadron of scouts in
commission.
Chester Averages 25.O6 Knots.
The Chester in twenty-four hours OF
hard steaming covered 6O1.92 nautical
miles, at the average of 25.OS knots and
the Salem did 5s9.12 in the same period.
averaging 24H knots. In making this
marvellous showing the Chester burned
415 tons of coal and the Salem 420 tons.
In the twelve hours that she did the best
she could the Birmingham made an aver
age of 24.02 knots and her best hours
run was 24.O7 knots. The Chester never
made less on the run than 34.J0 knots
and occasionally reeled off 800 knots.
The Chester developed 5000 horsepower
and the Salem. which has run with 2O.OO)
horsepower, could get only 1900 on this
trip. Her chief engineer said that some
thing had gone wrong in her starboard

SAVED BY GRABBING AUTO
POST OFFICE CLERK NARROWLY
ESCAPES SERIOUS INJURY.
Mr. White Dragged Along Pennsyl-
vania Avenue Before Machine
Could Be Brought to Stop.

While crossing Pennsylvania avenue at
11th street yesterday afternoon Luther
A. White of 81 r street northeast, a
clerk in the Office of the second assistant
postmaster general, was hit by a small
gasoline runabout and dragged some dis
tance before the machine could be
stopped. Except for a few bruises and
abrasions on the legs, he was uninjured
and was able to return to his duties at
the department.
The rYnabout was driven by it's owner,
James Z. Martin, who gave his address
afterward charged by the police. with
running an unlicensed machine and paid
a fine of $50 following a hearing in the
Police Court today.
Mr.. White said today that while he was
on his way to lunch, in crossing Penn
sylvania avenue, he saw the runabout
containing two persons coming toward
him. Thinking 1t would keep straight
on its course he continued OH his way.
About five feet from the corner in front
of The Star Office, however, the machine
which was going at the rate of about
eight or ten miles an hour, veered at an
angle and met him head on. He knew
that the only way to save himself was to
grab for the dashboard. which he did
clinging to the dashboard, he was drag
ged as far as the big clock in front of
Galt's jewelry store, where the machine
was stopped.
Mr.. White scrambled to his feet. and
the chauffeur. he said, after learning he
was not injured. sped on his way, first
saying he knew he had no business there
with an unlicensed machine.
Mr.. Whites nerve and presence of mind
in grasping the dashboard of the run
about doubtless saved him from serious
injury. The wheels of the machine did
not run over him, but the front axle did
some damage to his shins. The street
was filed with pedestrians and vehicles
at the time. and many of the clerks from
the Post Office Department were crossing
the avenue on their way to and from
their lunch.

concluding the Seattle end of the in
vestigation before adjournment for
Thanksgiving, after which the investf-
CATION will be taken up in Spokane.
The principal point brought out in

that the forestry agents. who were

that there must be some points that

Painting and cleaning the interior OF
the Western Wooden mills was started
this morninp in preparation for the re-
opening of the plant which will be run
ming in full blast within two weeks.
This is according to ]. F. McAfee, who
will be in charge of the mill and also
have supervision of the Oakland mills
Oscar O'Neill will manage the latter
concern.
Backed by other moneved men in adj
dition to those already interested, the
company has been practically reorgan-
lied. 1t will begin as new corpora
ton and will operate regardless OF
whether the Atchison overall - people
will rent the third story of the building
for a factory or not One plan was for
the overall men to rent the third story
and the mill people to furnish power.
This had been practically agreed upon,
but as the Atchison men, until a few days
ago, were not assured that they cou Il
get the room because it had not been
decided to start the mill, they have
considered other propositions. How
ever, according to Mr.. McAfee, it is
likely they will locate in the mill, or if
they do not some other similar concern
will.
The North side mill will make only
cassimeres for the cutters and not
pants. In this work about sixty people
will be employed A large number of
them are coming from mill towns Sucn
as Davenport, Ia, South Bend, Ind i,
and Louisville, KY. 1t is probable that
they will locate on the North side.
Their first work will be on an ord y
for 5000 yards of cloth to be used in
the Salt Lake smelters. This sacking
is hung in the fume chimneys and thus
saves much of the ore which would
otherwise go out in the air. AS an ad
dition to the smelter is being built it is
thought that another order will be re-
ceived in the near future.
The mills have been closed down for
several months this. year, and are said
to have been operated at a loss since
the panic of two years ago this fall.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
1t is proper to discuss public ques-
lions and expose corruption, lncapa-
city or negligence among public ser
wants, whether in our party or the OPP
position. But when officeholders or
officeseekers, themselves or by proxy
carry on war within our party In
such manner that we can plainly see
that the object is to tear men down
for the only purpose of building
themselves up and hurt the Republic
can party, then it is our duty, as the
common voters, to sit down on
them.
The majority of the Republicans
cares nothing for the two waring fac
lions, the old or new machines" out
we do care for Republican success and
Republican principles. These prln-
ciples are embodied in the state and
national platforms of 1908 and is a
matter of Interpretation.

platform that we must all be govern

the two years thereafter. My under
elected for only two years for the pur-
pose of giving the people chance
that often to send new men and give
new instructions, and no one is gen
uine Republican at the next election
unless he approves of that platform,
and every candidate who is nominated
next August should withdraw prompt
ly if that platform is made contrary
to his principles so he cannot stand on
it with both feet; until that time can

to read each others out of the party
as the common voters will attend to
that at the proper time.
Don't try to tear each others down
at this time gentlemen, as you are
hurting the grand old party by it. Let
us have a sharp, but clean, contest
before the primary election, and after
the nominating papers are filed. but

MANY DESERT FROM ARMY.

Constantly descriptions pour into
