technical to be understood by those
not versed in such matters.
What Test Shows.
1t Is. sufficient to say that the en-
tire design and construction of thu
wheel marks new era in this class
OF machinery. One OF these wheels of
thirty inches diameter, built for tha
inventor more than two years ago by
We'll known machine shop Of this city,
was installed nearly two years ago.
by Warner Moore & Co.. in their
shockoe FIGURING Mills and they are
highly pleased with results. The great
power of the wheel may be imagined
when ii Is stated that it is capable
OF driving the entire mill under twelve
Feet head of water. The mill was
formerly driven by three other tur-
bines of the best known make, but
chose in charge of the operation or
the mill affirm that the new wheel
VIII perform the work Of all three,
and with far less water.
Richmond Is Its Home.
The wheel has been named by the
inventor the Ajax, and will be manu-
taSlu'eu Dy tle company. Inc company
will be known as the shelton Water
Wheel and Machine Company, and
charter has already been secured.
Some of Richmond's most successful
business men are interested. and not a
little Of Northern capital has been In
vested in the plant.
1t is stated by those familiar with
the subject that there is large de-
mand for water wheels, particularly in
the South. whose water powers are
being rapidly converted into electricity
and made@to drive all kinds OF mills
and factories. With a wheel OF such
superior merit 1t may be safely as
serted that its manufacture and sale
win prove most profitable. The Sinven-
ton is fully protected by patents, both
IN this and foreign countries
The strangest fact in connection
with the whole thing is that the in
Ventor is lawyer in active practice at
the Richmond bar. and is man OF
scholarly attainments. However, Mr..
shelton was raised up In the milling
and manufacturing business, his father
before him being the owner and oper-
ator Of large saw and Touring mills
uriVen by water power. 1t was while
at work for his father that Mr.. shel-
ton acquired the mechanical knowl-
cage which has been now so SUCCESS
tAl'y and usefully applied. His subse-
auent college and professional life has
never abated his love for machinery

Up to about two years ago the town
made slow progress In the way Of
building, although its growth was
steady. Before that time the L. e.
chants Bank. and tho Parsons Block
were erected. together with the Ice
and Lumber Company's plant on Mason
Avenue These were the conditions as
we observed them two years ago. Since
that time 1t Is a. pleasure to note
the extensive improvements that have
taken place. The retaining OF por-
ton of the town and land adjacent
has caused an impetus in building
operations and the opening of new
streets. with beverage and water
mains. The town officials have been
abreast OF the improvements in the
building line. and have graded and
drained number of new streets. Co
incident with this the property owners
have laid new payements and made
other improvements to the fronts OF
their properties.

Letters From The People
PROTEST AGAINsT INSULT

Editor The Call: We beg to call your
attention to the following letter ad-
dressed by us to the editor of the Los
Angeles Times:
ITO the Editor of the Los Angeles
Times--Dear Sir: In the Sunday issue
of your newspaper, the Los Angeles
Times, September IL. on page 5, there
appeared paragraph headed "A Royal
Graft relating to the supposedly in
tended wedding of the duke of Abruzzi
and Miss Katherine Elkins. Said para
graph-we can not say whether 1T is
malicious or stupid-has aroused the
anger of the Italians along the Pacific
coast, and it is shameful both for the
party who wrote it and the party who
permitted it's publication. We think
1t our duty to voice the protests of the
Italians who live and prosper in all
the states of the Union and we de-
nounce to the public the insult made
by your newspaper to history TO COM
mon sense and to the sentiments of
brotherhood which should exist be-
tween all nations
The indiscreet writer has written a
quantity of untruths unworthy of
serious and genuine newspaperman II
IS untrue that the duke of Abruzzi-
and far less the king of Italy-are in
need of the millions of the American
senator, for it is a known fact that
the members of the italian royal
family, the house of Savoy. are
very wealthy and therefore have
no need whatever for the Ameri-
can money. In any case, the house of
Savoy in welcoming the daughter of
the enriched American would more
than repay the Elkins dowry. But all
those untruths would not have been
sufficient to arouse the anger of the
loyal sons of Italy had not your frivol-
Gus writer inserted in his senseless
article several insulting remarks to
the king and queen of Italy. Your
writer is not well versed in the history
of the present day, If he ignores the
fact that the king of Italy belongs to
the oldest and most glorious dynasty of
Europe and also that. taken as an in~
dividua1. King Emanuel III is known
by all the learned men of Europe as
one of the most intellectual, we'll bals
aneed and enlightened minds that any
nation ever possessed. Still more ig-
norant must be your writer IL he ig-
nores the fact that Queen Elena-whom
he contemptuously called a shop worn
princess'-descends from a family of
heroes and soldiers, of whom your
writer has not the least idea as to their
greatness We will pay no attention
to the triwalness said about Italy. We
would suggest to your writer to lock
himself up in library and study
little literature and history before try
ing to criticise and write aobut things
of which he has no conception
We hope your journal will openly
apologize for the untrue assertions
made by your writer. not only to calm
the angerof the Italian people, but also
to demonstrate that you, as just and
impartial Journalist, have no sympathy
for those who make use of your news
paper to give vent to race prejudice
and hatred. DAILY LITALIA."
