as seek to find any defects which may
exist in the product or their factories, but
1t should attract greater attention on the
part of the public to the cars which finish
the 1910 tour.
Hardly is one Glidden tour well under
way, from year II year, than plans are
formulated for routes for the next sue
ceeding one. In almost every year past
the courses selected have had their first
suggestions in the minds OF those who were
actively engaged in a preceding one. Such
is the case at present and It is with great
interest that there Is noticed a decided
opinion that the entire nation should be
crossed during the season of 1911.
The Glidden tour Is classic, as much

said J. ID. Ferguson, a retired merchant of
Logansport, quoted by the Washington
Post.
I'VE Hoosiers are away ahead in troll
ley systems. Show me many places In
the populous eastern part of the United
States that can boast of lines connecting
cities eighty and even 100 miles apart. Lo-
gansport, which is town of about 5000
people, will have four important lines rum
ming into 1t from cities within a radius of
100 miles or less in the near future. 1t won't
be long before the trolley line from Chi
cago to Logansport is completed. Then
Chicago can have grain and other crops
taken from our fields in record time.
"Our trolley lines are not built merely
to carry passengers. Their profit is real
lied, to a great extent, from the freight,
especially the produce and grain they carry
from the country to the cities. And the
sections of the state which most of those
lines traverse are the prettitst and most
fertile in America Directly through the
corn belt are railway tracks, through fields
of grains of all sorts, truck gardens, and
large farms.
There is no telling what effect the open
ing of the new trolley which is being built
between Logansport and Chicago will have
on the cost of living.
'In all probability the rapidly with
which garden and farm products can be
CLEANED from Indiana fields by means of
the electric roads will lessen the price OF
food considerably in Chicago"

rhe 1910 tour is 215 miles longer and
passes through six more states than were
visited by any of the previous national
tours. There are seventeen night stops,
with two Sunday rests, and the route en-
circles an area of nearly 100000 square
miles, containing population of more than
SO,0OOOO0, and more than two score of large
cities. While the run from Kansas City
to Omaha-242.3 mlles-breaks the distance
records for day runs in the history of the

only 1882 miles.
Many changes have been made in the

Peter Cooper Hewitt of New York, the
inventor of the mercury vapor electric
lamp which bears his name, has at last
won the long legal battle which has been
waged in the patent office and the United
States courts over the question of priority
of invention of another electrical device
even more important than the lamp. The
patents for which he applied In 1901 were
issued declaring him to be the discovercr
of fundamental principle in electrical
science, the original inventor of a static
device for Transforming alternating cur
rents into direct currents. The device is an
exhausted glass or metal chamber having
at one end a set of simple electrodes for
receiving the alternating current, and at
the other end small quantity of mercury
constituting another electrode. The alter
mating current passing to the mercury is
prevented from going back in the opposite
direction. This is done by means of the
operation of a natural law which Peter
Cooper Hewitt, 1t is claimed, was the first
to discover and utilize. He has designed

Mark Twain's First Lecture.
Mr.. Clemens prepared lecture for his
San Francisco audience, giving a most ex-
travagant account of what he had seen
among the Hawaiian islands, says Hamp-
toms Magazine. When Bret Harte and
some other of his friends were told
of his platform intention, they agreed
to go in a body to the old Mechanics hall,
where Twain was to deliver himself, and
form big claque that would insure the
success of the affair.
Mark wrote his own handbills, which set
the town agog with anticipation. One par
ticularly inviting phrase printed at the bot
tom of the announcement was THE trouble
will begin at p. m"
The hall was crowded and the claque
was uproarious when Clemens appeared
upon the platform. The lecture was de-
livered with manifest effort in slow,
deliberate, drawing manner, and the lee
turer paid no heed whatever to the incon-
siderate demands OF Faster! Faster We
can't stay here all night" and other urgent
calls.
Although Harte tried to steer the claques,
they insisted upon applaudlng and laughing
in the wrong places, which may or may
not have been intended asa joke on Twain
but at last the audience, which began to
catch on to the unique style of the man
and to appreciate his quantity whimsical
utterances, overwhelmed the claque and
had things its own way.
An ld-timer, who attended the lecture.
says of the effect of Twain upon his first
audience: His slow drawl, the anxious and
perturbed expression of his visage, the APP
parently painful effort with which he
framed his sentences and above all the
surprise that spread over his face when
the audience roared with delight or raptur-
ously applauded the finer passages were
unlike anything OF the kind they had ever
known. The lecture was a great success"

ITS RESOURCES BARELY SAVED
FROM THEM DECLARES AN
OLD MINER

Kansas CITY, Mo-, Dec. 2S.-That
the Guggenheims were caught just in
time in grab of the entire resources
of Alaska is the opinion of Frederick
Il. Tracy, a hydraulic miner employed
FOR the past six years by the Guggen-
helm interests at Valdez, Alaska, who
was at the Blossom House last night
He was on his way to Kirksville NO.,
with f. E Fogg, sc years old, en-
ployed as mining carpenter by the
Guggenheim interests at Valdez Mr..
Fogg suffered broken ribs when the
side of The wall of one Of the mines
caved in Jply 16.
THE miners Of Alaska, who are em-
ployed by the Guggenheim interests
and who are in position to watch
the moves OF the agents of the Guggen-
helms, are unanimous in their opinion
that II the American people had not
awakened just in time the Copper Riv-
err Valley, the richest mineral deposit
tory on earth, would today be the prop
erty of the Guggenheims," Mr.. Tracy
said last night. These miners have
watched the Guggenheims very closely
and are decided on these points: That
the Guggenheims sent Steven Birch
to buy the Bonanza Copper Mine ana
that the Guggenheim interests began
the railroad from Cordova, at the coast
TO the Bonanza Copper Mine; that the
interests bought all Of the copper fields
along the road and attempted to gain
control of the coal fields when caught.
The miners are firmly convinced
that the Guggenheims were trying all
possible means to absorb the gold
fields when they bought the copper
fields along the railroad. They say
that they also tried to buy all Of the
stores and food supplies in the towns
north Of Sitka, where the road was 20
bo built.

north of Sltka, a gold bearing quartz.

past.
Although the people OF Alaska do
not know to whom they ought TO be
thankful for their deliverance from
the clutches of the Guggonheims they
know that their was a narrow escape
and they are in better position to
Judge their case than the Americans
