CAR RUN BY BATTERY.
Edison's Primary Battery Is Used Sue
cessfully on Traction Line in
49,. Orange, N. J.

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-The obituary
of the overhead electric wire, with its
attendant trolley pole and the under
ground slot system of supplying current
to electric cars, was written Thursday
by Thomas A. Edison, according to trac-
ton experts who witnessed a demon
stration of his new storage battery car at
Orange, n. j.
The aged inventor, who rode on the
test car during portion of the trip, was
absolutely certain of it. He was look
ing out of the window as the car sped
along on it's independent battery.
The car, which was specially con-
structed for the new batteries, is TWEEN
ty-four feet long and carries thirty pas
sengers. One-half the weight of an or
binary car the same size, it rides on a
single truck and is propelled by a
straight drive. 1t is equipped with 21O
cells arranged under the seats on both
sides. Of these cells 200 are for pro
pulsion and ten for lighting, with a total
force of fifty horse power.
Edison estimates the cost of driving
the new car will be cent per mile.

EXPERTS ON FORESTRY
GIVE EARNEST ADVICE.
Interesting Talks to New Workers Con
corning the Conservation Of
Forest Resources.

NEW YORK, Jan. Plat a meeting
Of the Republican club, Chief Forester
Philip W. Ayres of New Hampshire,
Col. William 3. Cody, Prof. William
$. Scott of Harvard, Prof. Bogart of
Columbia. former Judge Warren Higley
and Gov. John Brady Of Alaska stirred
the hearers into promising support to
legislative and other protection Of natu-
raj resources. The Pinchot controversy
also was ignored, except in a tribute
that Commissioner Ayres paid. He said
that although Pinchot was now out of
office, he must still be regarded by his
friends as chief forester, as the preser-
walton of 1SO,OOO,OOO acres in the west
had been due to his genius. Commits
sioner Ayres said that timber consump-
ton now is three times the present
growth in the country.
Col. W. s. Harvey asked the club to
back up Forest Commissioner Whipple
in IN, the efforts he is making at Albany.
With his limited resources the commits
sioner is planting 100000 young trees
yearly. He ought to be able to increase
the quantity to 5O,OOO,OOO The state
also should take means to add to it's
100000 acres of Adirondack holdings
in the total tract of 3.25OOOO acres. In
the event of such purchase proper forest

lands.
Col. Cody spoke of the creation of
farm groves in the country west Of the
Missouri, where all was arid plain, when
he began scouting. In the old days it
was hard to scrape together food, but
in these grove times there is plenty to
eat, and when the Rockies become re-
forested the plains will be the richest
part Of the United States.
Gov. Brady aired the grievances of
Alaska, the property of the United
States for forty-two years and not an
acre of it yet surveyed. He said conser-
walton went too far out there, for mil
lions of trees went to waste every year.
and the protection of the coal lands made
towns close to the richest deposits in the
country send to distant points for coal
and pay from SIC to $1S a ton for it..
1.-THE best thing that could happen" he
said, 'would be to separate Alaska from
the general land Office and make it sub
ject only to the secretary Of the interior
and Congress-"
A A. Anderson told how Yellowstone
park had been rescued from the sheep
herders who were burning forests to get
extra grazing ground. Since the govern
ment has been in control no forest fire
has covered a space of more than two
acres.

MYSTERY Still SURROUNDS
IUMESDEA1H At DICKINSON

Dickinson. N. D., Aug. S.-The cor

Tuna, the timer whose body was
found floating In the n. P. dixie, had
the stomach Of the dead man sent
to chemists at the university of North
Dakota for analysis and this week
received a report of the work. The
chemists state that no poison Or other
chemical was found in the stomach
which could have caused Tuma's
death.
This case is one of the most mys'
FERROUS in the history OF the country
There was no scratch or abrasion
upon the body and the physicians
found no water in the lungs, the
stomach has revealed nothing, and
the jurymen are at complete loss
as to what cause to ascribe the mans
death.
Those who were with Tuna when
he went to the dixie have gone
through dozen sweatings by local
officials and a Pinkerton detective
and while the stories do not coincide
in every particular, there Is nc
ground for a murder charge.
As a result, of what agency did
Tuna die and what became of his
money? Stark county has spent
nearly $500 trying to find out.
