Invented Curren Wheel.

Spokane, Feb IA new water
wheel, which will run in any depth
of water, and which can be manu-
featured at about the same rate per
horsepower as gasoline engine,
has been invented by w. B. Camp
bell, J. c. Hunter and w. N. Simons
of Toppenish, Wash. Each wheel is
made up of five folding paddles.
These paddles open and close as the
force of the current is applied and
takenu away, and as a result the
wheel may be used either as an
overshot, an undershot, or tur-
bine. and either partly or entirely
submerged. The invention has been
demonstrated before several engin-
GERS and each of them has praised
it highly. 1t is the intention OF
these men to commence the manu-
facture of the wheels Immediately,
and the first one will be started
next week. When completed it will
be usel in the big ditch at North
Yakima, Wash, to develop power
for irrigation purposes.

Steel Plant Near Spokane.

Spokane, Wash, Feb. 11.-Steel-
making iron deposits, tributary to
Spokane, believed to be equal in
value to the celebrated Masabi ore
of Minnesota, are to be opened up
and developed by Spokane men.
The company predicts that the
near future will see the west being
furnished with steel rails and other
iron ore products from western fac
tories, operated by western people.
1t is estimated by three engineers
that there are 1000 tons of iron ore
at the property ready for shipment
as soon as the rails are laid. All
OF this ore is in such state that it
can be loaded on to the cars with a
steam shovel.
Within a few months the proper
ty will be on the main coal and coke
road from the Crows Nest Pass, and
the close proximity of this coal will
make the iron deposits more valu-
able. The land owned by the COM
pany comprises tract three-quar-
tiers of mile in width and one and
a half miles long.
On the ground are several dis
tinct iron lodges which carry ore
which averages 81 per cent metallic
iron. besides valuable silver-leai
deposits assaying from $13 to $50
to the ton. The ground has been
examined by iron men from the
Mesabi range in Minnesota and they
pronounce it rs being equal in value
to the ore found in that place.
Among the men who are backing
the enterprise are: H. H. Shellen-
berger, Sol May,1e, yer, FRANK rosen-
-hl.augt, Z. NJ. Adams, E. H. Mackey,
e. H. knight, Frederick Stone, M.
a. Pierce, J. w. Cope, j. w. For

Walla Walla Heard Honolulu.

Spokane, Feb. 11.-Frank Moore
of Walla Walla, son of former Gov
ernor Miles C. Moore, who has one
of the most completely equipped
private wireless stations in the coun-
try. says that on the morning Of
February 8, a few minutes after
midnight, he heard Honolulu calling
to Point Iona, Cal. Point Iona
apparently could not "get" Homo
lulu. For half an hour after mid
night all wireless instruments were
silent while the Point Iona and
Honolulu government stations tried
to talk. The commercial station at
Walla Walla could heard Point Lo-
ma but not Honolulu. Paul Hack
EFT. another Walla Walla amateur
wireless operator, was with Moore
and heard the Honolulu message.
The distance to Point Iona is 1,10o
miles overland. The distance to
Honolulu in an air line is $500
miles. In both instances amateur
distance records are thought to be
broken by this performance.
