THIS Is THE ERA
OF OIL ENGINES

Continental correspondence of re-
cent date has an interesting resume of
the progress made in the manufacture
of the mechanism of oil motors as
exhibited in the displays made at
Turin by various countries The
writer says: SIN the first place the
construction of the mechanism has
been greatly simplifed; the compress
sers of air appear now superfluous, the
TASKS of gas being filed up directly
from the cylinder of combustion.
Secondly the material used for mold
ing the essential parts of the maehin-
cry has been much better adapted to
the enormous pressure; thus consid-
erable saving of weight having been
accomplished. A raw oil motor ex-
hibited by the engine works of Nu-
remberg is capable of producing 100
horsepower and weighs only little
over 5000 pounds; a gas motor of the
same capacity would weigh $4,000
pounds at least. Thirdly the problem
Of inventing a reliable change-over
mechanism has been successfully solv-
ed; it is done by compressed air and
may be safely repeated many times
within a minute. For ships machinery
that is, of course, of the highest inn
portance. 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
possibility of using cheap coal tar
mixed with very little tar oil as fuel
Just as well as the more expensive
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 improve
ments. The merit Of having added
this new success of mechanical engi
neering to the growth of technical
progress is principally due to German
engineers and engineering works. II
is now eighteen years since Herr Die
sci published his epochmaking work
on "Theories and Konstruktion eines
iationellen Warmemotors, and we
r~e glad that the carrying out of his
ideas has in the last few years been
takn up everywhere SO earnestly
The~e were times when this was other

A week or more ago c0g-whee1 Of

generated for lighting purposes was
reduced by more than onehalf. Since
that time two new wheels have been

PORTfRF|fLD CASE
STILL UNDECIDED

The defense in the case of State Of
Nevada VS.. Porterfeld closed its case
in the preliminary hearing yesterday
afternoon. This morning the testi-
mony of four of the States witnesses
was read and signed, after which they
were excused. 1t is thought the bal
ance of the testimony will have been
read and signed by Thursday, after
which Judgment will be rendered.
Yesterday afternoon Porterield
took the stand and gave an apparently
straightforward account of his move
ments on the night of the robbery,
which was corroborated by half doz-
en- or more witnesses.

ISSUES INJUNCTION

Last Saturday l.. G. Campbell, at.
torney for the National Mines Com
pany, appeared before Judge Earring
ton in the Federal Court at Carson
City and asked for an order restrain
ing the Mammoth National mine from
extracting ores from its Charleston
hill property.
The complaint alleges that, on in
formation and belief, the Mammoth
company was extracting ores from the
dip Of the vein; that the National
Mines company, having the apex, was
moth company was trespasser.
Judge harrington issued temporary
restraining order and cited the Nam
moth company to appear next Satur.
day and show cause why the injunc-
tion shall not be made permanent.
Some months ago the Mammoth
company brought suit in the Federal
Court against the National Mines
company, to recover $2,000,000 dam.
ages for ores the latter had extract
ed from its property. By stipulation
a board of engineers was appointed to
survey the surface and underground
workings of both mines. These engi
neers completed the survey some
weeks ago, since which time nothing
further has been heard Of the case.
On the occasion of the recent visit
of s. G. Scotten, of Chicago, director
and treasurer of the National Mines
company to the property, it was ru
mored that negotiations were in pro
gress for a consolidation Of the two
properties, with several others ada
cent, but this new litigation would
seem to indicate that there is nc
probability of a merger at this time.

Much enthusiasm is being evidenced
by the people Of the vicinity and of
the city in the coming of the Universe
ty of North Dakota Glee Club on April
Sth, 1911. It is matter of consider
able pride to the people of the state
that we can produce here at home an
organization of such high quality as
the University Glee Club. More and
more we are beginning to appreciate
the talent of our own state. This year
the CEautauoua Association has very
wisely adopted the plan of utilizing
much more North Dakota talent than
usual and the officers have been very
pleased in the success they are having
in obtaining high class talent within
the state. The University, the Agricul
tural college, The Fargo college, and
the various Normal schools are now
looked to for talent and are making
good. The University Glee Club is not
surpassed by any musical theatrical
organization west Of Chicago and there
is every reason to believe that the at
tendance on the eevning of April tSh
at the Grand opera house will be a
record breaker There will be enough
of the classical to please the trained
musician and enough of the humorous
and gay to please all. There will be
singing by the entire club, by individ-
ual soloists, by duets, trios and quar-

tets. There will be instrumental music
of high order, college scenes that will
please and college songs that will rouse
the spirits Of the most laggard. The
various clubs Of Devils Lake, about a
dozen in numberb, will be represented
in full force. Already a lar egnumber
of tickets have been sold and great
interest is being manifested. Altogeth
er, no event of this season has caused
SO much furry in society circles as the
coming of the Glee Club.
