Test Made


 The results of the tests recorded yes- terday were most satisfactory, accord- ing. to MT. Burrell, and he stated that the largest amount of explosive ele- ments contained in any one of the bot ties analysed only reached three tenths per cent. Chief Mine Inspector Nesbitt, State Inspector Webb, State Inspector Kicker and State Inspector Hillman were present at the time the experi- ments were made.
 In referring to the acquisition of the gas laboratory by the state mining de- partment Mir Burrel said yesterday. 'It will be a decided advantage over the former system of gathering the samples and sending them to Pittsburg or Washington for testing, as this can now be done by the chief mine inspec- tor within 10 minutes after he has re- ceived the mine air here. To ship the specimen to Pittsburg and then get the returns, several weeks time was re- quired, which is a great disadvantage for those supervising the conditions of the mines and causes delay in their recommendations tos alter any adverse or dangerous features of the mines. The Alabama laboratory will be arranged to make analysis for both methane and carbon dioxide and Is one of the most modern of these instruments. The elec- tricity for the burning of the methane has been supplied by current of five ampheres being attached to the appa- ratus and special sample bottles will accompany the remainder of the labo- ratory yet to come.
 "The machines being perfected for the measuring of mine gas air are att taining more and more simplicity. Coal operators themselves are becoming large purchasers of these instruments which are so constructed that an analy- sis could be made underground, pro- vided the necessary amount of heat 1 could be secured there, as well as in laboratory room.
 Birmingham is certainly a splendid looking city, with the spirit of hustle predominant, and l appreciate very much this opportunity of seeing one of | the leading southern cities for the first | time"

TEST PRESIDENTIAL
PRIMARY STATUTE

Salem, Ore, Feb. 15.-After con-
sulting with Attorney Craw-
ford and Secretary of State Olcott
with relation to commencing a friend
w suit to test the validity of the pres
idential preference primary law, DR..
j. NJ. Keene. Medford, and ]. S. Del
linger, Astoria, constituted COM
mittee appointed by the republican
state central committee to interview
them on the subject, decided to at
once bring the suit.
The suit will be in the nature of
either mandamus or an injunction
proceeding The law provides that
voter shall vote for but one of the
; 10 delegates to be elected to the Ma
ton convention of a party, and but
one of five presidential electors.
Should mandamus proceedings be be-
gun, it will be to compel the Secretary
! of state to place instructions on the
ballot that each voter is entitled to
vote for 10 delegates and five elec-
! tors. If injunction proceedings to
enjoin him from placing instructions
on the ballot that the voter can vote
|
and one elector out of the five, and
to let the voter cast his ballot for
| the full number.
The committee feared the Secre-
tary of States declaration to follow
the law would not be sufficient
ground upon which to base a suit
but the Attorney General says 1t is
and the Secretary has stated he will
waive all technicalities. The supreme
court has original jurisdiction of q
suit of this nature, and it will be
through.
The main contention to be raised
will be that the law disfranchises vot.
ers but other legal questions will bt
! also raised.

LIKE THE BIG SIREN

The city dads strongly favor the
installation Of the compressed air
siren for q FIRE alarm. The fire
committee, which went to Walla
Walla last week to inspect that
city's equipment, report that the
siren will accomplish the result,
without particle Of doubt. The
result is not. Of course. to put the
fire out. exactly, but to keep the
citizens from their blissful slum-
bers during fire.
Bids from two Walla Walla con-
Germs were read. Both bids in
cluded an automatic air tank, mo-
tor and whistle. Action. however,
was deferred that the two local con-
Germs might have an opportunity to
submit figures on the installation
OF similar apparatus. The siren
can be used as the first uuit in the
system, the fire boxes being added
from time to time as needed.

Mp. WILLING TO SAFE
GUARD CROSSINGS

The claim agent of the Northern
Pacific company was in town Tues
day to see about the installation
of the safety devices at the two
dangerous crossings. He stated
that the company was quite willing
to put in either the gates or the
bells, and that manv towns preferred
the latter plan. After some dis
cussion the council asked that the
city be granted q trial of the bells;
and, if not satisfactory, to substi-
tute gates for them.
The agent also stated that the
Cascade Lumber company would be
asked to move its building some
seventy-five feet further west, that
clearer view of the track might be
obtained. This action on the part
of the company was commended by
the council.
