other respects made a most creditable
showing. and there was the usual riv-
airy among the observers to be as
signed to the White SO that they
could ride with the maximum of COM
fort. The only adjustments or re-
pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were tightening lubri-
Gator pipe and wiring damaged mud

A particularly interesting feature
of the new White Steamer is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used as fuel. The necessary adjust
ments SO that the fuel may be changed
from kerosene to gasoline. or vice
versa. may be made in a couple OF
minutes: but SO completely successful
has kerosene proved to be. that it is
not believed that any purchasers will

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene. or coal oil, instead Of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people. however.
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success. and, therefore. the
makers Of the White Car. the White
Company, of Cleveland. Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra-
tion Of the new fuel In the 1909 Gid
den Tour.
From the standpoint Of the public.
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis.
tance covered on the Glidden Tour.

Kansas City. was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses. II such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion of observers named by those
who entered other contesting cars.
Therefore. II would have been impos.
sible for the driver of the White to
have even frightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and q penalty in
dicted. At night the cars were
guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one.

We have found that the common

HOW GAGE WOULD DO 1T.
Makes Suggestions for Clearing Out
Channel of the Kaw.

w. w. Mills, president of the Topeka
Commercial club, has received the fol-
lowing communication from Norris L.
Gage, one of Topeka's Oldest citizen
and heaviest property owners. Mr..
Gage is in favor of removing the OBJ
.structions from the channel of the
Kaw and makes many timely sugges-
lions in his letter The letter follows:
II wish to call the attention of the
Commercial club to the piling above
and below the Melan bridge, under the
Santa F'e railway bridge, and in the
middle of the river between the two
bridges.
These piling not only obstruct the
flow of water and in places catch flood
wood. but what is worse, they prevent
the natural securing out of the river
channel. A personal inspection such as
recently made, especially at the Santa
Fre bridge, will show to any one the
serious nature and extent of these OBJ
structions. 1t is probable that if COM
petent authority should make a proper
presentation of the subject to General
Manager Hurley, and to the president
of the street car company. they would
remove the obstruction which their
companies placed in the river for their
own benefit, but which they are no
longer using. If they fail to act could
they not be forced to do so by process
of law As last resort the city
should remove the piling at its own ex-
pense If it is worth while to spend
vast sums of money in building bikes,

have talked with Mayor Green, En-
gineer Rogers and members of the city
council all Of whom agree that action
should be taken, but the machinery o.
