Darlington Man Has Invented Steam
Wheel That Develops Wonderful Power

he built a second rotary engine, but
this also failed to work and he like all
others abandoned the rotary principle
and gave his thought to the steam
wheel. With the idea, of the windmill
and the turbine water wheel in mind
he worked along these lines, but soon
discovered that steam was a different
element to deal with than wind or
water. The principle of the screw
furnished him no solution, but almost
unconsciously while at his study ta-
BILE his pencil formed the outlines of
plan, and like flash 1t came to him
that he had solved the problem that
had baffled them all.
Some few weeks ago he took his
model TO the university OF Minnesota,
where 1t was given a partial test, but
in transit the interior Of the machine
was somewhat damaged, and the test
was not satisfactory. but in spite OF
its condition. university professors in
formed him that it showed I'D the best
of the many engines they had tested.
On this trip Mr.. Stevenson saw it's
weaknesses and brought the engine
home, and thoroughly overhauled it,
and now has 1T to a state of perfec-
tion which 1t has never before attain
ed. He now proposes to take 1t to the
Agricultural college at Fargo, or back
to Minnesota for a complete test OF its
economy and power, OF It's simplicity
and compactness there is no question.
The main difference between Mr..
Sievertson's wheel and all others is
that his wheel revolves and the axle
remains stationery. The engine is
adapted to both high and low pres
sure, but works the stronger and more
economically on the high pressure. He
has been running it this week with
pressure of about IS pounds.
The inventor estimates that he can
make an engine that will develop
twenty-five horse power that will not
weigh ovar 800 pounds. The engine is
designed to be used any place where
power is needed, but because of it's
speed, compactness and light weight it
would be especially adaptable to au-
tomobiles. Whether 1t works a revo-
luton or not in the building of steam
engines. Mr.. Stevenson has built the
first steam wheel known to the world
that will economically develop power.

:. NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST -.
Over Half Bismarck Land District
Affected by Land Withdrawal Order

however accept filings and final
proofs and issue receipts for money
paid and suspend the same, awaiting
further action on the part Of the gov
eminent.
II is probable that the mineral char.
acter Of the lands withdrawn will be
determined by the geological survey
department, but just when this work
can be done is uncertain, because of
the vastnsss OF the undertaking and
probable insufficiency of appropria-
lions to carry on the work.
1t is likely, although this supposition
10 not based upon anything official,
that the government will ask all claim
ants affected to exercise the right Of
election, that is, accept title to the
surface of the land, reserving TO the
government all rights to coal and min
erals beneath, TO be disposed OF in the
future as the government sees At, the
owner Of the surface to be reimbursed
for any damage at any time on account
of any mining of coal on the land af-
fected.
While this may be looked upon as
something Of cloud upon the title, it
is not any more so than the reserva-
ton now. made in all government pat
tents in relation to minerals, voter
rights, etc.
This wholesale Withdrawal Of public
lands is simply in accord with the
overwhelming sentiment in favor OF
the conservation and preservation, for
the benefit of all the people, Of the
natural and useful resources Of the
country. -.1e
The greatest publicity should be
given this executive order, that all
claimants, prospective entrymen, sue
cessful contestants, bankers, money
loaners and others may have knowl-
edge Of the facts and know why all
entries, proofs and issuance of final
certificates In the district affected ass4
being suspended.
The observance OF this order carr
stitutes no cloud on the entry or proof
but simply means delay. !

Lis DETECTIVES AND TAKEN
TO BISMARCK.

Bismarck, N. D., July 27.-Charles

jumped his bond of $4,000 here few
days ago. was captured in Minneapolis
Central station. The following special
was received:
Charles White. held on $4,000 bond
In a liquor case, who disappeared from
Bismarck. was arrested by detectives
from the Central station in. Mime
apolis. He became i'll and was taken
TO the city hospital where q patrol
man remained with him all night. He
will be taken to Bismarck in the morn
ing by Sheriff Duncan McGillis."
White, 1t will be remembered, was
arrested this spring on a charge of
blind plugging. He asked for a change
of venue, which was granted and his
case came up before Judge Kneeshaw
In Mclean county. He was found guilty
and sentenced to serve ninety days in
the county jail. He determined to
take the matter to the supreme court
and was brought to Bismarck where
Messrs. Henry Tatley and Louis Lar
son went on his bond, each to the
extent of $1,000.
A few days ago White gave utter
ance to several remarks that led to
the belief that he was intending to
skip out OF the country. They be-
came alarmed and decided to turn him
over to the authorities and be released
from the bond. But when the ON
cials went to look for White, the bird
had flown. The wires were kept hot,
and 1t was thought that he was locat.
ed in the twin cities. Sheriff Nc
ellis went to Minneapolis Sunday af.
ternoon to prosecute search there.
He will return with the prisoner.

new SALEM Will
GRANT FRANCHISE "A
LITTLE CITY WILL, HAVE GAS
AND ELECTRICITY IN THE
NEAR FUTURE.

New Salem, N. d. July 81. - FuE
ly fifty OF the representative busi-
ness men and citizens of New Salem,
assembled in the rooms of the COM
mercial club Friday evening to dis
cuss the advisability OF granting 4
franchise for electric light and sas
to. the new coal company which il
opening up mine about a mile south
OF town on the William Garbe farm.
This company, which is. said to be
composed of Minneapolis business
men, has been prospecting for coal
In the vicinity of New Salem for sew
eral months, and has at last found
a vein which Is satisfactory. A
crew OF men has been working both
day and night opening up the mine
and it will not be long until they viii
be able to fill orders for coal.
Fred Affleck, the local representa-
tive of the company, as we'll as the
mining engineer, has been on the
ground for some time. AS soon as
he found q vein of coal that could be
operated successfully. he approach
ed the town board in: regard to secut,
ing a franchise forsboth electricity
and gas. 1t Is the intention of the
company not only tegcoke the coal,
but also to install aATiquetting plant,
hence 1t will be possible to give the
town both electricity and gas.
The town board, sins order to ind
out the sentiment Of the business
men in regard to thu granting of d
franchise. called meeting for that
purpose. 1S
County Commissioners Max Schultze
was chosen chairman Spf the meeting.
The proposed franchise was then
read which purposes to begin the
work Of installing electricity within
the limits of the. village in twelve
months from date. Id the discussion
which followed this, reading of the
franchise, all those Who spoke were
in favor of the project and when the
vote was taken there was not one
dissenting voice against the granting
OF the franchise. -
. ! Is expected thae@the town board
at their next meeting will grant the
franchise asked by the company
with a few alterations.

Darlington Record: After the pro-
ject Of making a steam wheel that
would run and develop power had by
all scientific writer's been given up as
Impractical, and the work of previous
inventors having come to naught 1t
remained for a Darlington man, L. K.
Stevenson, to build a steam wheel
that will run and develop power. Mr..
Sievertson has had his motor" con-
nected up with the boiler at the cleo
trio light plant for the past week, and
many of our people have had the OPP
poItunity of seeing this little wonder
iG- operation.
Some fourteen years ago the idea of
applying steam to a wheel began to
form in Mr.. Sievertson's brain. but II
was not until he had studied on the
idea for ten years that he even made
the first rough sketches Of his wheel
on paper, and he has been four years
developing his plans and building his
present working model. This model
has wheel the outside dimensions of
which are nine inches in diameter by
81 inches in width. Inside bore is
measurement over piston 7-S inches;
average of 1 11-16 inches from center
of shaft. 1t will be seen by these fig
ures that this nodef..is but very
small engine, yet is estimated by many
who have given * rough tests, to be
developing from two to three horse
power, as compared to the usual rat
ing of gasoline engines. 1t is so pow
erful that a man weighing over 200
pounds, and putting all his strength to
a long board held on the fly wheel,
could not stop the engine. This first
engine weighs fifty pounds.
Mr.. SievertsOn's invention is all the
more remarkable when 1t Is known
that he never had any practical work
ing knowledge of steam engines, but
many years ago when he first came to
this country he built a fine working
steam engine from plans that happen
ed to fall into his hands. Like all 9TH
er engine experts the desire to over
come the dead center problem took
hold of him and without ever having
seen or heard Of such thing he built
rotary engine. This engine would
run, but failed to develop power, and
