Hon. Thomas j. O'Donnell held the

last evening at his open air meeting
at the corner of Fifth and Main while
he discussed campaign issues and
his own candidacy for the senate

cative of mirth the while he drove
his points with force and aptitude.
He can turn play on words as cas-

developed a responsive attitude on
the part of his hearers when he
'sprang a number of jokes at the eN-
pense of his adversaries in the race
for the toga.
The meeting showed Mr.. O'Don-
nell's great strength in Mesa county

Trolley Rail ruoboa..

Tests of a new touring system, In
vented by German engineer, Herr
Koss, have recently been made on the
Dortmund Fms Canal, which give
promise that the invention will be
success. An elastic rail is laid at the
bottom OF the canal, and the tugboat
carries at its bottom four rollers which
clasp this rail. These rollers are oper-
ated from the boat which is thus pro-
PEELED. A large economy of power is
claimed for this method The expert
mental tug is worked by electricity,
the energy being obtained through
cable from an auxiliary boat equipped
with a dynamo. This, however, is on
ly an experiment, and in ordinary
working trolley wire would be In
