Treasure Island.

Dead Mans island. famous as the
Treasure island of Robert Louis
stevenson, looms up in the Caribbean
sea, large and desolate. as your auto
mobile turns over the crest OF the
military road between San Juan and
Ponce. The hill Is there, and 1t Is all
so plain in outline that any reader OF
the fascinating tale could go without
the chart almost and find the treasure
for himself. Four miles away on the
Porto Rico coast is the great sugar
center Of La Fortuna, the largest sin
gle 16-roller mill in the world. And
from its upper windows you get per-
feet view Of Dead Mans island. whicS
seems to crouch like q huge leopard
facing the Panama canal-its back
all woodland and its tanks a sandy
shore The romance of the spot was
shattered recently when the owners
were unable to get an advance Of
money from the sugar mill company
In order to plant 1t with cane. This
was refused because the slight rain
fall would make expensive irrigation
necessary, and SO Dead Mans island
was consigned again to its solitude to
remain poetic monument to Steven
sons somber and fantastic story. Only
lighthouse keeper lives there.

An incident occurred recently which
is unprecedented in the annals of Irish
shipping. Five schooners which left
Ballinacurra, County Cork, have foun-
dered at the same time. The Ave
vessels left port within a few hours
Of each other, and shipping men are
unable to account for the loss OF SO
many boats at one time. In all 81
lives are involved. There has never
been a similar instance In the history
Of Lloyd's of the disappearance of
ave vessels sailing on the same day

singular that all other boats leaving

(By Austin Callan.)
~ Ell RIO. Texas, Aug. 26.-The
greatest thing that has hap

manent survey for the main canal is
now being made by Mr.. lowers, one of

over 100. 200 acres of land from $40 to
5000 per acre.
Orient Railroad.
Twenty-Five miles of the Orient
railroad grade has been completed out
OF Del Rio north, and as the grade is
practically completed from San An
gelo to Sonora, there is now dis
tance of only so miles to be graded to
connect up with this trunk line
running to Kansas City.
Roads and Streets.
A great deal of improvement work
has been done on the streets and
country roads in the way of grading
and graveling them: $4,000 cause
way has been erected across San Fell
ipe creek which connects North Del
Rio and East Del Rio. The money has
been raised by private subscription to

of which is being used as a postoffice,

The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1911-08-18

That which has long been looked
for has been found in the Dewey Be-
Harvester, a machine in two sections
completed and patented by John D =
vey & Sons, of Lehi, Utah.
Mr., J. H. Merrill, of Grovelnni
being in communication with Me O..
Dewey, was informed by them To-
they would give an exhibition on the
Sth of June of the Beet harvester a.
obi on a patch of mother beete

ployed instead of splicing four or
five short sections together, as here
tofore. The filament is wound upon
a spider, which reduces the length
of the lamp to about five-sevenths of
that of the previous tungsten lamps.
Those early filaments were made by
mixing tungsten metal powder with
some binding material SO that it could
be formed into thin thread much
the same as spider spins its web.
The web" was then treated by sew
eral processes to remove the binder
and fuse the fine metal particles into
the form of wire. or course the
lamp filaments made in this way were
more or less fragile.
It was true enough that the first
tungsten lamps would save two-thirds
of the cost of electric lighting, but the
lamps had to be handled with care
because OF their fragility. The new
types of drawn wire tungsten lamps,
however, are several times as strong.
The advantages gained by this new
type of drawn wire tungsten filament
are many. The new lamps are very
strong and already being used in
railroad lighting, where the jar Is
terrific, with the best results. The
one-piece filament also adds to the
and consequent life OF the
lamp. The new type Of tungsten lamp
will not be broken with ordinary
handling and will last longer than
the earlier lamps Of tungsten wire.
