WASHINGTON. Oct. 20-The de-

Both points tffecting the steel trust
and especially the one which indi-
Gates that the steel trust is a monop-

follows by commissioner Herbert
Knox Smith IN his special report on
the trust:

It's very marked degree of control of

The corporation owns two OF the
most important ore railroads, the Du-
luth and Iron Range Railroad and
the Duluth, Missabe and Northern
Railway. The ore rates on these
railroads are about one cent per ton
mile. Their operating expenses are
very low, that OF the Daluth. Mis-

However, when the case was ap-
pealed to the State Supreme Court,
the verdict of the lower court was
reversed. on the ground that the
failure of Green's attorneys to com
ply with the law IN filing the decla-
ration rendered the case null and

is said TO be more rubber shipped

The reason for this, of course, is the

Rubber tires should not be exposed

MOTOR IS HEART"
OF AUTOMOBILE
Great Advances in Engineering Have
Brought Auto Engines To High
State of Perfection.

Before the advent of the automo-
bile the gasoline engine. or motor, &C.
cupied comparatively small niche In
the realm of mechanics. AT the
worlds fair in Chicago, in 1898, there
were but two makes OF gas engines
exhibited. Compare this showing with
the exhibit at the Michigan State Fair
last year. for example, and you will
get some idea of the strides made in
this industry in Is years and more
especially since 1900. There are IN
use in the United States today, among
the farmers alone. more than 100000
gasoline engines and the output is in
creasing yearly at phenomenal rate.
The application OF gas power to
vehicles occupied the attention of
mechanics and engineers for many de-
cades before the first practical motor
car was brought out. After that the
improvements came rapidly and the
permanency OF this type of engine
was assured. To bring IL to its pres
emit state OF perfection has required
the best thought of many of the best
engineers the world has ever known,
and greater things are to come. Fol-
lowing the principles established by
the automobile engineers, the manu-
facturers of marine and stationary
gas engines have likewise perfected
their products with most satisfactory
results.
While there is no fundamental diff
ference between the operation OF
marine or stationary engine and an
automobile engine. the manufacture

very nature of things, come to be

least assemble. their own motors.
In the early days OF the auto in
dustry the two-cycle engine was the
only type that claimed attention. The
four-cycle engine, which has now
come into great favor, is a later de-
velopment.
The motor is the throbbing heart
of the automobile. A good motor is
a source OF pride and comfort, but
when il begins to skip and balk and
act up generally, then it Is that tie
owner begins TO curse his luck and
knock his car TO the other fellow
even though the trouble may be due
TO his own neglect or unfamiliarty
with the engines requirements. The
great aim. therefore, has been toward
simplicity in motors and some great
things have been accomplished IA
this direction.

HOW TO AVOID TIRE TROUBLE.
Here Are a Few Hints, Based On
Long Experience.

The following rules have been for
mulated from many years experience
in the manufacture and repair of com
mercial motor vehicle tires. The worst
foes of tire economy are the overload
ing and overspeeding OF vehicles.
These instructions should prove help
full to vehicle drivers who have the
interests OF their vehicle at heart.
Do not overload or overspeed your
vehicle, as this will be harmful to
both the mechanism and the tires. A
good rubber tire has a certain amount
of life" and persistent overwork
greatly reduces its length of service.
Brakes should be kept working
equally, and the axles and wheels

the drainage system, and the dock
