THIS IS THE ERA
OF OIL ENGINES

Continental correspondence of a
recent date has an interesting
resume of the progress made in
the manufacture Of the mechanism
of "il motors as exhibited in the
displays made at Turin by various
countries. The writer says: I'm
the first place the construction of
the mechanism has been greatly
simplified; the compressors of air
appear now superfluous, the TASKS
Of gas ;.being filled up directly
from the cylinder of combustion.
Secondly the material used for
molding the essential parts of the
machinery has been much better
adapted to the enormous pressure;
thus a considerable saving of
weight, having. been accomplished.
A raw oil motor exhibited by the
engiR' works of Nuremberg is
capable of producing 100 horse
power and weighs only little over
5000 pounds; a gas motor of the
same capacity would weigh 81 900
pounds at least. Thirdly the
problem of inventing a reliable
change over mechanism has been
successfully solved; it is safely
repeated many times within a
minute. For ships machinery
that is, of course. of the highest
Importance, and the Hamburg
American line has already fitted
out an ocean-going steamer of $500
tons with Diesel motors. Lastly
we may mention that practical
experience has proved the posi-
bility Of using cheap coal tar
mixed with very little tar oil as
fuel Just as we'll as the more ex-
pensive crude naptha. We may
say thAt the era OF oil engines is
now in full swing, as everything
wished for is now guaranteed by
the latest improvements. The merit
Of having added this new success
of mechanical engineering to the
growth of technical progress is
principally due to German engineer
and engineering works 1t is now
eighteen years since Herr Diesel
published his matchmaking work
on THEORIES and Konstruktion
zines rationeilen Warmemotors"
and we are glad that the carrying
out of his ideas has in the last few
years been taken up everywhere
so earnestly. There were times
when this was otherwise"

INDIANS DROP ROCK;
BREAK MINERS ARM

Will Tanner, miner in the
employ of the Bull Hill Mining
company at Bay, was the victim
of peculiar accident several days
ago, as a result of which he wears
broken arm.
Tanner, it seems. had been
working in a shaft which was
about rs feet deep. After drill
ing a round of holes. the miner
loaded them with giant powder,
lighted the fuses and then started
to climb up the ladder towards the
surface to point of safety.
About this time. couple of
Indians came along and heaved a
rock into the shaft. at the same
time peering their heads over the
edge to watch it drop to the
bottom. In the descent, the rock
struck Tanners right arm, break
ing it between the elbow and the
wrist.
Tanner chung to the ladder. and
although the broken member
caused him great pain. managed
to reach the surface. The Indians,
who .could talk goud English, were
terribly frightened; but declared
it was all mistake: that they
were not aware that Tanner was
in the shaft.
Tanner accepted the explana-
ton of the redskins as being the
truth. but admonished them to be
more careful in the future. It
was a narrow escape for the miner
and he figures that all things con-
sidered, he got out pretty lucky.

that there is a weed law in Idaho,
known as chapter 100 of the session
laws of 1911, section Of which
provides that % per cent Of the
resident freeholders of a regularly
organized road district may petition
the board of county commissioners
for the determination of weeds,
when it becomes the duty of the
board at its first meeting thereafter
to issue an order to the road over
seer of the district for the extermin-
alton of the weeds prayed for in the
petition.
Other sections of the law provide
for the posting of notices by the
road overseer notifying owners OF
the time such weeds must be de-
stroyed, makes it the duty of the
road overseer to destroy the weeds
in the highways and empowers him
to go upon private property and de-
stroy weeds found there, and in the
latter case, certify the expense up
to the county auditor as a tax upon
the land collectable as other taxes
are collected.
Another section makes it the duty
OF the person, company or corpora
ton owning a canal, railroad or ir-
rigating system to destroy the weeds
along his or its right of way, and
upon failure, clothes the overseer
with the same authority given as
stated above concerning private
property and besides makes the
neglect or refusal misdemeanor
punishable by a fine of not exceed
ing 800.

GEO. G. BARRETT, Editor.
The Farmer the Mainstay.

Wendell is not the largest town
in southern Idaho; nor has it gone
as far in municipal improvement as
some of our neighbors have. Wen
dell never has had boom, but has
increased in population with a
steady, healthy growth that speaks
well for its future. There has not
been fire of any consequence nor
a business failure since the town
was started; which is saying a
great deal considering the amount
of speculation that takes place in a
new country like this.
But whatever credit is due Wen
dell, it is not a drop in the bucket
to what is due the Wendell farmers.
After a thorough investigation into
conditions of development all over
southern Idaho, by personal inspec-
ton, we are prepared to say that
no part of it has reached as high a
state of cultivation, in the same
length of time as has the district
Immediately tributary to Wendell.
Although our farmers have had
difficulties, serious and various, to
contend with in the past, they have
made showing that is simply mar
velous.
The future southern Idaho towns
must be built up and maintained
by the farming community that
surrounds them. The doctors,
lawyers, shopkeepers and real estate
men are all right in their places |;
but it remains for the farmers to
make the town. And if Wendell
can continue to get the cream OF
the farmer population that is COM
ing to this part of the state, she
will continue to have a healthy
growth, and in the near future be
second to none in this part of the
state.

The popular representative to the
State Legislature, elected from the
west end of Lincoln County, seems
to have taken very much to heart
the position the people of Wendell
have taken in the matter of the
Snake river bridge which is to be
built between Lincoln and Twin
Falls counties. We are unable to
see why legislator who has the in
terests of his constituents so much
at heart as Mr.. Smith has, should
oppose a movement to have the
peoples money spent where it will
be of the greatest benefit to the
greatest number of people, and
where it can be spent most econo-
mically.
The people of Wendell hold that
as long as Lincoln county is sup
posed to pay as much of the cost as
does Twin Falls county, the bridge
should be located where it will be
of some benefit to this county, in
stead of being placed where it will
be of use only to our sister city
Bull.
Our honorable representative
should not attempt to even up any
personal scores that he may hold
against Wendell by trying to preiu-
dice the minds of the good people
of his neighborhood against this
town. 1t is unbecoming to person
who has reached the full estate o
manhood to so twist and contor
things of personal nature tina
they seem to apply to an entire
neighborhood instead OF to himsel
alone. The people of Wendell art
willing to go more than hall way Il
meet their neighbors on the south
west. We are all striving in tn,
common cause of making for our
selves homes here in the desert, anC
the more nearly we can pull togeth
er that much quicker will our pur
pose be realized. If our neighbor,
out that way feel that they hav,
been sighted or in any way discrim
mated against, we feel sure tina
everything possible will be done Il
try to rectify any such mistake
providing such persons will lie
their injuries be known.

DESTROY THE WEEDS.

Weeds as well as domestic
crops have made a very proficient
growth the past season, and now is
the time that every rancher should
see that this crop on his respective
land is gotten rid Of, as they are
now in bloom, and the seeds will
soon form to be scattered about, pro-
ducing a much thicker crop another
year.

Assistant EngiYSer Robinson Of

Assistant EngiSSer Robinson Of
the Oregon Short Line, was in Wen
dell last week to confer with the
business men concerning the loca-
ton of the depot. He proposes to
build a regulation modern depot at
this place. 1t will have two wait
ing rooms and two rooms for bag
gage freight and express. The
railroad will construct cinder plat
form two blocks in length along the
track for the accommodation of the
public. Mr.. Robinson offers to put
the passenger station at the foot OF
.Shoshone ST., which is the nearest
point on the railroad to the bust
ness section of the town. The loca-
ton proposed is regarded as the
logical one by the entire body Of
business men, and it is very fortu-
nate indeed that we can have the
station so located that it will bt
satisfactory to every one. Mr.
Robinson also asked that the city
obtain control of certain pieces Of
land which will be turned over tC
the rail road as soon as all the above
Improvements are completed. The
latter proposition is now in the
hands of the City Council and ha;
has been taken under advisement.
