HERALD AUTO COLUMNS
Says Readers Are Tt ted to Techni-
cal information Hard to Find
in Trade Journals

The following letter, which speaks
for itself, has been received by The
Herald:
LOS ANGELES. Jan. 4.-Automobile
Editor Herald: 1t is a pleasure to
notice the consistent, daily automobile
news which you are publishing. As an
automobile engineer naturally read
quite widely along these lines, but am
free to confess that you dig up tech
nical as we'll as general information.
the like of which is hard to find even
in strictly automobile journals. Your
late article upon the benefit to both
factory and buying public of racing on
circular tracks as determining best
forms of design and highest service of
materials is certainly correct, and one
local agency, at least. is paying out
good money telling these very truths
in advertisements.
In this connection there is but one
qualification to be kept in mind, to
wit, that a $500 car may, for racing
purposes. be built of $4,000 material and
workmanship, general design only re-
naming unchanged, while the original
$4,000 cannot be improved by reason of
the fact that it already embodies the
best of everything known to the auto
mobile world.
AS you have so well said, the prob
lem is to know you are buying exactly
what you see circling the racing oval
except, of course, such tuning" as is
considered legitimate by all and may
be and often is duplicated by the extra
careful every day user; Respect
fully, r. A. HUENE,

HONORS SERVANT
OF SIXTY YEARS
WEALTHY FAMILY GIVES PAR
TY FOR FAITHFUL MAID
Letter from President Mckinley Re-
ceiVed When She Had Been in
Service so Years Is Treas
ured by Aged Woman

NEW YORK, Jan. 5-A hundred or
more of these invitations were sent
out last week. Not one of the recipf-
ents sent his or her regrets or stayed
away.
Miss Barbara Spanagel, better known
to the members and friends of the
Bauer family as "Nana," is 70. and
she entered the service of the Bauers
on December IS, 1S49, Since that time
she has never worked anywhere else.
1t is many years since Mana has
really been looked upon by the men,
bers of the family as a servant, al
though at no time would she allow any
body else to do her work unless she
was sick, notwithstanding the repeated
entreaties of her master and mistress
that they be allowed to hire another
girl and that she make herself COM
Portable.
She nursed four of the Bauer chill
dren, all of whom have now grown to
manhood and Womanhood, and she will
not WELD even to their mother in her
interest in them.
That night the aged woman who has
served the Bauers so faithfully stood
beside her mistress and received the
fluctuations of the hundred or more
who called while the daughters of the
house prepared the collation. and
served it.
On December 49, 1s99 on the occasion
of Nanas fftieth anniversary as SER
want in the Bauer family, President
Mckinley wrote to her congratulating
her and expressing regret that the gov
ernment never made any provision for
honoring such long service, saying that
if there had been she would surely have
been honored.
The letter of President Mckinley
which is wholly in the handwriting of
the martyred chief executive, is the
treasure of which she is proudest.

DEWAR TROPHY TO BE
AT NEW YORK SHOW
Cup Donated Will Be Awarded Each
Year by Royal Automobile
Club

One of the most notable trophies
and indeed the one signifying triumph
in the most rigorous contest-among
those to be exhibited at the New York
automobile show, January S-15, Will
be the Dewar trophy which was award
ed to the Cadillac by the Royal Auto
mobile club of England. The Dewar
trophy, which is handsome silver cup,
was donated by Sir Thomas Dewar to
be awarded by the Royal Automobile
club each year to the car which should
successfully complete the most merito-
rious performance or that furthering
the interests and advancement of the
industry 1t was awarded to the Ca
dillac in recognition of the standard
ization test which took place in Lon
don and which is regarded as the most
severe test of mechanical accuracy ever
applied to a motor car.

MOTOR INDUSTRY
ENTERS GREAT YEAR
Business During 1910 Gives lndlca-
tions of Surprising All Previous
Records, Says Motor
Age

Motor Age, a leading journal devoted
exclusively to the automobile industry
and usually one of the most conserva-
tive and reliable of publications, has
his to say in an annual review recently
published, gathered from reports made
to il from every part of the country:
1.-THE motor car industry of the United
States is entering upon the greatest
year in it's history, which means much,
for the last two or three seasons have
been of extraordinary nature them
selves, with the nations output jump
ing in monster bounds each year But
1910 gives every indication of exceed
ing the fondest dreams of a year ago
of the most enthusiastic. From $4,000
cars this year to between 100000
and 300. 900 for 1910 is an advance for
ward that shows the giant strides of
the industry The estimated output
does not exceed the probable demand,
but whether or not the car makers
will come up to their estimates is hard
to say at this writing. The possibili-
ties of their factories have been care
fully gagged and upon these has been
based the desired output, but in all
probability it will be the parts makers
who will be the biggest factors. II
they can turn out goods sufficient to
fill their orders then the car produc-
tion of the United States ought to
closely approach the estimates made.
LAS to the possibilities of these cars
being sold after they are manutac-
tured, there can be no doubt after those
most interested have read the reports
received by Motor Age from its corre-
spondents in the large motoring CEN
ters. Without an exception the story
is the samoa demand for cars in such
MI F1yill 70 fn hp
most the capabilities of the manufac-
turers to supply. Detroit, Chicago, New
York, Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland,
Denver, Pittsburg, Washington, San
Francisco, Los Angeles - anywhere,
every where there is evidence that the
entire country is prepared to partici-
pate in the coronation of King Motor.
Detroit, the great hub of the manu-
featuring industry, reports that it will
turn out from 100000 to 100000 cars
in 1910 an increase all the more Won
derful when it is realized that 44,200
represent Detroit's 1909 output and H.
161 that of 190S."

the Hulse Bradford company. and G. ID.
Hudson, formerly the cashier of the
Central National bank of this city, and
who resigned his position with that in
stitution to accept the position of man
ager of the Eastern Sales corporation,
with headquarters at Detroit, Mich,
where he now is established and is al
ready pushing the products of the con-
Germ to a successful conclusion. The
eastern corporation will handle every
thing east of the Rocky mountains,
while the Seeley Specialties company
will represent the institution west of
those points.
The favorite racing car Corbin. hay
ing passed into the hands of the High
Frequency Ignition Coil company, will
remain here until late in the spring.
This little machine will be in the
hands of AL Livingstone, the coast
driver who has made good in his line.
Livingstone is under contract with the
company which purchased the car for
a period of one year and will be en-
tered in every event to which the Cor
bin in her class is eligible, the first Of
which will be that of January at
Ascot park. Livingstone is known all
over the Pacific coast as one of the
most fearless and fast drivers of rae
ing cars on this coast. In many events
youngster as he is, he made a mark
in the east, where he was associated
with some of the now world-famous
drivers.
After a series of events on the local
track Livingstone will take the Corbn
through the valleys of this state, Wis
iting the most prominent cities and
giving demonstrations Of what the car
will do with the High Frequency sys-
tenn installed. AS the car promises to
be three to four seconds faster than
she has ever been before there is every
reason to believe that the Corbin, fit
ted. as she will be, with the new sys-
tenn of ignition, will be a formidable
rival for any stock car that may ap-
pear upon the racing track.
The Herald on Sunday will give a
full description of the Seeley system,
with illustrations of just what light
ming is handled by mechanical in
genuity and bottled up as a rejuven-
ating process to the power given to
the automobile through its natural
processes.

coRBIN CO. RUSHING WORK

The Corbin Motor Car company of
this city has been advised that the fac
tory is working night and day to get
out cars for the coming season. The
company is also working on a six
cylinder model, and expects at am early
date to have a line of these cars ready
for the Pacific coast. The Corbin Six
will be a 4S-horse power designed to
carry any type of body, from a two
passenger runabout to a seven -passen-
ger touring car. The wheel base will
be about 124 inches, and the wheel
thirty-siX inches. 1t is promised by
the Corbin people that when the new
Six appears it will be the classiest car
ever brought to the Pacific coast.

DA VENPORTS SIGNED ON
CREMANORY CONTRACT

It is four months sine The Press
first called attention to the fact
that Davenport's restaurant en-
joyed immunity from the operation
of the city crematory ordinances,
while every other restaurant in the
city was made to comply thereto.
The only other exception was in
the case of the Hotel Spokane.
which. like Davenport's. had its
garbag< and waste matter hauled
away by private contract.
Today Secretary Armstrong of
the board of public works lined up
Davenport's in contract. 1t re-
quired only about Is minutes to do
the work, Mr.. Armstrong says.

COLLISION

Slippery rails are believed to be
responsible for a head-on collision
between the Medical Lake electric
train and car No. 1871 from the
Division street line Of the w. W..
p. Co. at the corner Of Riverside
avenue and Lincoln street this
morning. The Division street car
was badly damaged, but no one
within it was hurt. Passengers In
the front car of the Medical Lake
train were considerably shaken up,
but little damage was done to the
motor car.
1t is declared by bystanders that
Motorman Crate Of the Division
street car had the brakes set so
rigidIy that the wheels of his car
were sliding as they went round
the curve and coIlided. The rails
at this point, as at all other abrupt
turns in the road, are kept creased
and this may have caused the
wheels to slide.

Charlton's description. The author
tiles also cabled the New Yorw
police to await the arrival of the
Verona and to cooperate in arrest
ing Charlton if found.
Later the police sent wireless
to the captain of the Virginia,
which left Genoa June 9, asking
that officer to take similar action.
The Verona left Genoa June and
the police here are certain that
Charlton is one one of the two YES
sells. The local authorities have
abandoned the theory that Charl'
ton was murdered and they dis
credit the robbery theory held by
American Ambassador Leishman
and Consul Caughy.
Caughy today discovered that a
second trunk is missing from the
Villa Legnazzzi. where the Charl-
tons lived. He believes that it has
been used to hold Charlton's body.
The authorities refused at first
to reveal their reason for belleV-
ing that Charlton had embarked
for America. Later they said that
Eliza Capana postmistress at Mol
trasio, saw Charlton last Monday
and he inquired of her the sailing
time Of vessels. The girl who car
ries milk to the cOttagers is posi-
tive she saw Charlton leaving his
villa on Monday evening.

CEIvES PERSONAL
LETTER..

A Spokane friend Of Chief of
Police Fred Kohler of Cleveland,
Ohio, under indictment, has re-
ceived the following satisfactory
letter from Kohler's secretary:
J. F. Howard, 1920 East Fifth Ave,
Spokane, Wash.
My dear sir: Yours of the goth
ult. to Mr.. Kobler received and I
am instructed by him to thank you
heartily for your very kind express
sions and the interest you display
in his behalf, and he also desires
me to assure you that he expects
to be fully indicated and acquitted
upon completion of the present
trial.
In my opinion the attack made
upon Mr. Kohler is simply the
composed of politicians, irresponsi-
BILE degenerates, divekeepers. gam
blers. keepers of houses of ill-fame
an dthe disgruntled members Of
our department, for the purpose OF
removing him from office and put
ting forward some one who will
truckle to their interests. How
ever, each day the prospects of full
reinstatement loom brighter and it
is but a question of time now.
Thanking you again, | am, yours
very truly, A. F. Piper, Secretary.

feature of the welcome was to have

CAIRO, Egypt. June 15.-Sir FL
don Gorst, the British agent and
consul general in Egypt, has been
officially "white-washed' by the
Egyptian government. 1t was he
who was inferentially attacked by
Col. Roosevelt in the latter's Lon
don address for alleged mismanage-
ment in Egypt.
The Conservative party has tried
to make capital out of Roosevelts
criticism of GOrst, and it was to
counterfeit them that the Liberals
gave Gorst's management official
approval.
Gorst has been in the service
of the British foreign office since
1885, coming to Egypt as tax col
lector five years later.

COSMOPOLITAN CROWD
AT OPENING

Society in silks and the laboring
men in flannel shirts mingled last
night at the opening of the new
Occur d'Alene hotel. The corridors
and Railways were crowded up I'M
til midnight, and it is estimated
by the management that fully 20
900 people called.
Everybody was welcome. and
mine hosts Dutch Jake and Harry
Baer were kept busy during the
evening receiving congratulations.
Everyone admired the beauty of
the new hotel and the elegance of
its finishings and furnishings.
1t was a gay crowd of visitors
and reminded one of the old days
in Spokane. After the final curtain
had rung down on the event, the
opening of the Hotel Occur dAlene
had passed into history as one of
the red letter events of the history
of Spokane.

MOUNTED POLICE
IN PORTLAND STRIKE

(By United Press Leased Wire)
PORTLAND June 1.-two hun
dred strikebreakers are expected
here some time this afternoon to
mount III id wagons and attempt
to break the teamsters strike,
which for three weeks has tied up
shipments and caused loss of
thousands of dollars to warehouse,
vholesalemen and shippers,
Indications are today that the
strike has entered upon a serious
stage and that trouble cannot much
longer be averted.
Today mounted police were sta
toned at every dock along the
waterfront and at the warehouses.
This is but one Of the many evil
dences of trouble to come.
President Banfield of the en-
ployers' association said today that
he would walk out OF Portland pen
niless before he would give in to
the demands of the strikers for a
25-cent daily wage increase.

step down and out. But the petit
ton never appeared, and he now
returned to resume his fight
against the franchise.
Schiller branded the petition fiji.
ed by the citizens railroad commit
tee as a delusion, and told of how
one of his partners had gone into
his place of business and tried to
make their employees sign the
cards. He said that one of his
men had come to him privately and
asked him what he should do in
the matter. Schiller said that he
told him to do as his conscience
dictated, and that the man then
said that he would not sign one of
the cards in 1000 years
Schiller called the Milwaukee
railroad a Standard Oil road,
founded in order that it might fOs-
ter its own industries, by giving
rebates and special privileges. He
said that it was allied with the
steel trust and every other trust or
monopoly in the land
In passing this franchise you
are giving away the last chance
Spokane has, of getting terminal
rates said Schiller The com
mon user clause herein is of no
effect and the city has sealed the
last chance of having any more
railways come into the city over in
dependent rights of way. The work
of 20 years for just rates to Spo-
kane is undone when these fran
chises are passed"
Schiller said that he did not
question the honesty of the city
council, but seemed strongly of the
opinion that their judgment and
municipal patriotism was poor.

which in itself fails to mention
fireworks or explosives. On the
contrary the ordinance restricts
only the manufacture of matches,
loose excelsior and tow. "or other
hazardous occupation"
while | do not wish to rule as
to the validity of this ordinance, |
must say that it's meaning is not
clear" Judge Mann said in sum-
ming up the evidence as introduced
under the ordinance. THAT portion
or other hazardous occupation,
might be construed to prohibit men
working on top of high buildings
such as the Old National Bank
building or the Paulsen block, [nd
does not mention the storage of
explosives. 1t has not been shown
in this case that the defendant has
been engaged in a hazardous occu-
patton. hence | will dismiss the
case"
1t is not unlikely that another
case will be filed against Fugita,
under a separate ordinance which
prohibits the storage of powder and
other explosives within the city
limits. 1t is alleged that Fugita,
ha dabout 200 pounds of assorted,
fireworks in his place. a# +-
Failure to convict in this case
seems to have been through the ig
norance of the ploice in bringing
an action under an ordinance that
had no bearing on the case, in spite
of the fact that another ordinance
exists which thoroughly, covers the
alleged Offonse.

DAlKE'S PLAN
FOR IMMENSE
RESERVOIR

Commence now to plan and make
water extensions available two
wears hence. is the idea OF r. l..
Dalke. councilman from the Fourth
ward.
Dalke thinks that there should
be an immense reservoir on the
north side on the Minnehaha OF
Little Badly hills and he Will In
troduce a resolution soon asking
that the preliminary work be got
ten under way for the building OF
such reservoir. A reserve supply OF
water could then be held for the
north side and direct pressure to
that district given And then the
distance to such reservoir would be
so short that it could be filled with
much less power than the present
reservoir at Ninth and Grand.
