Or. BrOsius VIII Handle New Tire

DIR. and Mrs. +. c. Brosius left
Tuesday morning for Santa Barbara,
Calf 1t was intended that the entire
trip south should be made hy automo-
bile. However, because of the recent
severe rains over Oregon, DR.. Brosms
decided not to attempt to negotiate the
Willamette and Rogue River Valley
roads, and the machine was shipped hy
steamer to San Francisco and the
journey in the car was continued from
there.
DR. Br0sius has acquired the terri.
tory Of three counties in the most
thickly populated portion of southern
California for Essenkay, the product
secured, as il is claimed. from corn.
Essenkay is an oily geataneous sub
stance that is not affected by either
heat or cold. 1t is poured into the
auto tire and thus prevents trouble
from punctures or blowouts. When
the old tire wears out the filling NAV

tinues its usefulness. The manufac-
turers of the substance declare that il
will be in universal use as soon as its
good qualities become known TO the
motorist,
MIR. and Mrs Charles II. Mears and
Miss Margaret Mears, of Pasadena.
Calf. and n. 2. Mears, of White
Salmon, passed through the city Friday
enroute to North Yakima. Wash. The
party journeyed by automobile up the
California coast into Oregon and were
joinedhere by N. 2. Mears, who is an or.
chardist of the region across the river.
The recent rains they declare a bless
ing to the motorist; for they have laid
the dust of the roads. which will be in
much better condition, if the rains do
not continue heavy and create mud

long experience as master of men, he saw
mutiny, incipient madness and potential
murder.
The quartermaster's lengthy brown hair
was disordered; his cheeks were streaked
where the few hard-wrung tears had trickled
over them. Captain Monkaster was nei-

move. He lay perfectly quiet, apparently

What do you want, quartermaster2 he
finally asked, in matter-of-fact tones.
II want you to turn back and salve the
wreck on Loomee reef-or rather, rescue the
passengers" The sailors voice was hollow
but incisive.
"Do you realize what you are doing,
Whittier" parted the commander "This
is INSTRUMENTATION in the extreme; your life
is ruined from this moment, unless-unless
you go out Immediately and quietly by
whatever way you got in here, and let the
matter be dropped. Igiveyouth chance;
take it, man, quickly, before it is too late

"Stop thatl" The revolver was tilted
to point degree lower, straight between
the targets eyes, as he observed the COM
manders under arm move ever SO slightly,
as if he were easing his cramped position;
but the Wgilant gray eyes had noted also the
bell-cord hanging within three feet of the
bedhead. He held his own position at a
discreet distance-about six feet-from the
bed, safeguarding himself against sudden
spring.
The captain thought rapidly, but still
futilely. There was indeed method in
the quartermaster' madness; for he had
evidently foreseen every possible contin-
gency and had shrewdly comprehended
how complete would be his dominance Of
the situation during the brief period that
would be required to accomplish his purpose
or bring it to tragic failure.
The situation, from the captains view
point, was damnable, without precedent,
intolerable. But no instant solution was
possible, without risk-the almost certainty
-of death.

Whittier, stop this madness. Let US forget

"Tell me why, Whittier, and then I'll

Records aren't duty, sir, when lives are
at stake. What is a petty record, that may
be made later, to all those lives on the SD
PIidG? There is one life in particular there,

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, August 2S-Cotton futures opened steady within a range of to 5 what was calIe1a favorable weather map. The weather over the belt was clear, and dry conditions which were declared fav- orable except in portions of Texas and Oklahoma. Soon after the call prices were 6 to points under yesterdays close. Scalping shorts took profits and ring trad CTS took the long side for turn with the result that at the end of the first half hour prices were unchanged to a point higher compared with yesterdays close.
 Reports of heavy offers of spot cotton in Texas and claims that they were being met by only a moderate demand served to give the market an easy tone around the middle of the morning. Short selling was stimulated to some extent, but orders received around the ring were only for small amounts. The list became nervous with narrow fluctuations later. and no def mite tendency. With the arrival of noon the tone was dull and prices of the trading months were to points under yesterdays close.
 In the afternoon the market steaded again. Half an hour before the close the trading positions were to points over yesterdays close.

 From the West

Yesterday on Morris avenue passed quietly with the wholesalers. Prices fiuct- uated but little, and the supply continues abundant for the sluggish demand.
 The dry salt meat market reported a slight advance in the price of lard and dry salt ribs. Trade showed improvement but was far from brisk. Among the grain merchants, while prices remain un- changed, the volume of trade of the last two weeks Is conspicuous by it's absence. Creamery products reported a fair busi- ness and prices on eggs held firm. The poultry market enjoyed a fair trade with steady prices and ample supply. With the fish merchants the sluggish trade contin- ues, although fish prices are being quoted at exceedingly low levels. The produce men received large shipments of cantar loupes from California yesterday, but the price remains unchanged. Coffee and sugar enjoyed a fair trade and steady pdees.

Chicago. August 2S.-Charters of vessel room here today to load more than .1ooo,- 900 bushels of wheat for Buffalo tended to give the cereal strength. Although the final tone was easy, the market closed a shade to ss91ac above last night Corn finished 1-16c to 7sc up. oats varying from a shade off to isc advance. and provisions strung out from 5e decline to Dc increase in cost.
 Aggressive action by short sellers of wheat started as soon as the market showed a disposition for an upturn. Err ratio price changes followed, but the bulls had the advantage most of the time and took profits on large scale during the last hour. News of the big lake charters did not become public until late in the session, but spectators inclined early to a belief that only the stiffness of ocean freights kept foreigners out of the buying side of the market. The gains were rela- lively small for September as important liquidating sales by longs acted as drag. Decemb,r swung from 94Ac to 95Mc, and in the end was Ae net higher at s4ssc.
