 TEN INCH
 UPHOLSTERY
New Feature of L0comoble Six
 Appeals to Motorists

Perhaps the most widely adver- Used feature of the 1912 Locomobile SIX IS the use of ten inch upholstery TOT the rear seat cushions and backs. It IS rather a departure for this oon- SerVatlVe company to feature any special advantage of their car, and the result has been many inquiries as 10 what the ten inch upholstery is like. To such inquiries the company has simply recommended a trial of the car on the road, and if possible, rlde over the same roads in some other car equipped with ordinary six inch upholstery.
 At first blush, this feature might seen to some of minor importance,
 but ride in this luxurious car dis closes at once that the deep, soft cushions produce the most remark able comfort and ease. Although the Locomobile Six model for 1911 had the reputation of being an extraordi- nar1iy easy riding car, the new up- ance to all those who seek comfort in the highest development. The rear seat cushion and back on the Locomobile Six, will fit anyone. In this car it is not necessary to avoid bad roads or to slow up for cross walks or car tracks. The Locomobile Company officials state that one of the oldest and most prominent au- tomobile owners in the country e. gently took a demonstration in the Locomobile Six, and when he return ed to the office he stated that it was the most wonderful ride that he had ever taken in an automobile.
 Both the cushion and the back are composed of soft upholstery ten inch es deep. The springs for the seat cushions are strong and resilient and are provided with metal bottoms which firmly holds the springs in position and prevents them from coming loose or tipping sideways. The cushions are faced with a pleated front, allowing perfect freedom of action for the springs. The soft up- holstery against which the back of the passenger rests is made up in three pieces, with plenty of ventila- tion for the springs. The upholstery is built up entirely of springs and long white curled hair. The springs in the back are fastened to a strong canvas backing, which keeps them In position and makes them very resil- of springs in each back. The back quarters are trimmed very soft with long white curled hair.
 Another feature of the Six Touring Car is the construction of the auxili- ary seats. These consist of comfort able chairs, which, when not. in use. are neatly folded against the sides of the body. The seats are made up with spring bottoms The body is supported the full length of the back instead of only across the shoulders as is usual in these seats. The backs are adjustable with soft, curved back, which greatly increases the riding qualities of these seats, making them perfectly comfortable for a long tour.

HOLD OPEN INQUESTS.

Both the railroad company's official statement and it's offer of S2,500 re- ward for the apprehension of the criminals seem calculated to convey pany is convinced the Middletown wreck was the work of train wreckers and was done deliberately. News ac- counts and editorial comment on the accident do not indicate that the pub lie is quite ready toNaccept this theory as conclusive and until some more definite evidence is brought forward to prove whether or not the railroads supposition is correct or otherwise there seems to be little prospect that opinions vii agree. The fact that the wreck occurred in a lonely spot, where train wreckers could work un- seen, where the plunge to death would be almost certain and where the perpetrators could watch the re- suit of their crime, do their piunder-. ing and make their escape, is all cal culated to bear out the supposition of the company. The little hicks found under the heads of the loose spikes are also referred to as conclusive" evidence that they were drawn out one by one. The railroad detectives annnounce that his theory of Superin- tendent Woodward is the correct one.
 The statements of the railroad off cials are based largely upon an actual inspection of the wreck itself The opinions of the public, on the other hand, must be largely formed from supositions and hearsay evidence, though this is not wholly the case. For instance, E. s. Greer, president Of the Hartford Printing Company, a man well known throughout the state and who was in the accident, says. ''They can't lay it to train wreckers, but upon the officials of the New Ha- ven railroad" and he says the road bed was too badly torn up to deter mine off-hand whether there had been a drawing of spikes. A news ac- count in the Hartford Times says: 'Trainmen assert that this was the second trip of the heavy passenger engine over this road, and it was too heavy for the roadbed.''
 In view Of all that is being brought forward, therefore, both by railroad officials and by victims of the acci- dent, it is welcome news that Coro- ner Davis announces that he inves- tigation which he will conduct will be public. We agree with him that hearings of this nature should be public. The public is one of the par ties principally concerned-Ansonia Sentinel

OREGON TO THE SEA.

A remarkabI work. second to the Panama Canal alone in magnitude. is being effected at the mouth of the Co., lumbia River. To dredge the storm swept shoals which prevent the pas sage of large vessels it was necessary to build a jetty four miles long into the sea. confining the current to small channel. which. by it's own force, it scooped out eleven feet deep CT than before. But the passage silted up again, and now the jetty is being extended for three miles more As the foot of the rock wall advances the river SCOUTS ahead of it. When the supplementary jetty has been com pleted and the river bound on two sides Portland will become a deep sea harbor.-Harper's Weekly.

The first real step toward secur
ing as lasting beauty spot to Be

pines across Lake Bemidji, general!
spoken of as the Ruggles tract, wa
taken by the city council last nigh
when condemnation proceedings wer'
ordered.
Alderman Joseph Bisiar offered tn,
following resolution:
Whereas, it appears to be ab-
solutely necessary and essential
to the welfare of the city of
Bemidji and the pleasure and
happiness of it's citizens that ad-
ditional lands be acquired for
park purposes within the city
limits, and that such lands so
acquired be covered as much as
possible with a growth of pine
in it's native state;
And, whereas, it appears that
there now remains but little ma
tural pine timber growing upon
lands within the city limits of
said city and that it is necessary
and expedient that these lands
should be acquired without de-
lay.
And it further appearing that
such lands cannot be purchased
or acquired from the present
owner or owners without con-
demnation proceedings:
Now, therefore, be it resolved,
that the city attorney be and he
is hereby instructed and directed
to commence condemnation pro-
ceedings with a view of acquir-
ing title for said city to the fol-
lowing described lands, towit:

olution.

Catches Partridge at Postoffice.

Here are three partridge stor-
les; all three true.
While standing in front of the
postofice building on Beltrami
avenue, a partridge came sailing
along and landed as graceful as
an aeroplane.
A crowd at once gathered and
the partridge looked up sort of
surprised, like a man that has
been served with a Dumas sub
poena.
Then there was a Tapping of
wings and the first thing George
H. Newton, one of the bystand-
ers, knew he had partridge
firmly squeezed between his
knees.
