MUCH INTEREST is
SHOWN IN NEW PUMP
Recent Invention of r. w. Pearl Is
Awakening People Of the City as
To Its Real Merits

Increasing interest is being shown
in the Automatic Water Elevator re-
Gently invented by F. w. Pearl of
this city and though at first causing a
great deal of mistrust to skeptical
minds it is rapidly being accepted as
the genuine article Although hard TO
realize that a power has. been de-
veloped or discovered which is the
equal of either steam or compressed
air, it is a fact that such has been
the case and the new pump makes
use of weight power, or as it NAV be
termed, suction power, or compounded
vacuum power. This latter is equal to
either steam or compressed air and be-
ing absolutely inexpensive, will no
doubt be used to the exclusion of
others as soon as fully appreciated.
The idea of the new pump is entirely
new, or at least there are no records
that its use has ever been discovered
before or that the idea has ever been
developed.
Scientific explanation states that the
compound vacuum power used in this
device is made by the use of one of the
primary powers and that the vacuum
can be compounded to give any desired
pull. The probability of the power
applied to service, is based exactly,
pound for pound as that of steam or
compressed air. 1t can be maintained
there by working automatically and as
weights are what produce the power
it is claimed that from a primary pow
er of 800 pounds, $50 pounds of actual
working power can be generated. The
primary power used is water.
A manufacturing plant for the pro-
duction of these pumps will soon be
built in this city and company will
be incorporated for the purpose of
handling them exclusively

FLOUR READY FOR
ANOTHER ADVANCE
MilIers Will Hold a Meeting This Even
ing to Determine ACCESSIBILITY
of Third Twenty
Cent Raise.

Flour is destined to take another
advance in this city within the next
few days. In all probability notice of
an advance of 20 cents on the barrel
will be given the first of next week
according to the statement of a local
miller this afternoon. With the ex-
pected advance, which will be the
third made in the last three months
patents will sell wholesale in Walla
Walla at $625 per barrel
Probability that an advance in pat
ents will be forced upon the millers of
Walla Walla became known this af-
ternoon when word was received from
Puget Sound millers of "a 20-cent au-
vance in Olympic flour, and further in
formation that other brands would ex-
perience a similar rise the first of the
week.
1--WE will probably have a meeting
this evening or Monday and decide on
the advance to be made" said one mill
er this afternoon to a Statesman rep
resentative. I'VE are forced to depend
in large measure upon the prices
ruling in Puget Sound and at Portland
so that with the advance made on the
coast a rise here is absolutely neces-
sary."
This will make the third advance of
20 cents in flour in the past three
months. and there is no assurance
either that it will be the last Wheat
is becoming scarcer right along and
While it is not advancing quite so rap
idly as at the time of the two former
jumps in flour quotations, it is firmer
Many of the smaller mills in the
country have already been forced to
close down because of their inability
to buy grain at the present high mark
Locally the little wheat that is in this
section unsold stands firm and un-
changed.

visit a number of the leading cities
here so as to explain our mission to
them and secure their full co-opera-

made a success when shared IN Ike

cities on Puget sound which need har-

in the valleys of the various rivers OUT

Snake rivers, are just as much inter-
ested as are the cities located on the
rivers along the Atlantic sea-board or
those that are tributary to the great
mississippi. all of us realizing that the
money expended by congress on these
waterways under the present system
is entirely insufficient to produce re-
suits such as are now enjoyed on the
fully improved rivers and canals that
traverse Europe.

York to Cheyenne, WyO., in 10 running
days and everything passed off in tip
top fashion the first 10 days. In
Wyoming, Redington said, they were
greeted with the news that the state
had Just experienced the greatest de-

In speaking of this instance he said:
''Of course I could not say as to how
long it has been since they had such
a rain fall. but can say that if they
had it very often Wyoming would be
washed off the face of the map in a
few months.

was under water and we ran into
places We never thought We could get
in and when once in would work for
hours to get out. In Wyoming we had
to build six bridges in one day, while
in other parts of the state we had TO

100 miles out of Pocatello when in
crossing a bridge, we discovered too
late that the far end had been washed
away and machine. men and all went

THAT was when our first serious
accident happened After working for
hours to get the Thomas out we found
that part of the steering gear had been
broken. The gear has given us trouble
ever since and as you Will see further
on in my story has caused us many
days of valuable time.
"That 100 miles to Pocatella, where
the nearest machine shop was located,
was the longest 100 miles I had ever
travelled up to that time and [ would
