CAPITAL BUSINESS 2
MEN ARE TURNING
TO LIGHT TRUCKS
Motor Delivery Wagons Be-
ind Sold Every Day in =.
This City.

Motor delivery wagons ranging IN ca
pacity from 500 pounds to 1.50o pounds
and light power trucks, one ton and
ande and one-half tons capacity. all De-
signed and built with the object Of
bringing them within the reach of re-
tailers, small manufacturers. and others
doing limited business, are engaging
the attention Of q majority of the max
ers OF commercial motor vehicles this
season.
These machines. besides being mex
pensiye. are simple in construction and
economical In operation and upkeep.
Heretofore the heavy and costly motor
trucks have occupied the most serious
attention of the engineer and designer,
probably because big manufacturing
companies and department stores have
been leaders in the adoption OF power
vehicles and their needs were met BY
the three-ton and hve-ton trucks and
by elortic delivery wagons.
Successful use OF these machines by
such prominent concerns for a series
OF years. together with the increasing
cost and difficulty OF maintaining horse
service. has developed q widespread de-
chimes Of less capacity. Tradesmen in
all sorts Of lines are growing eager to
adopt the quicker and better transfer
and delivery service.
In Washington the demand for light
delivery wagons and motor trucks is
growing by leaps and bounds There IL
hardly line Of business in this city In
which this type OF vehicle could not be
used to advantage and every day finds
some merchant convinced OF the ecoro-
my OF the motor delivery wagon with
the resultant order to some dealer for
one Of more such yehicles.
The development of this demand is
being anticipated by many men In the
commercial vehicle Industry. A consid-
erable number OF Established makers,
who have specialized on large trucks.
are turning their attention now to
smaller machines. At the same time
many new companies have organized
and begun the manufacture of similar
models.

MOTORISTS URGED
(. TO WATCH RIMS FOR

Everitt Agent Barnhart Gives
Some Advice on Care
Of Automobiles.

AT the beginning OF the wet season
many automobiles are being examined
with critical eye to detect any source
OF future trouble that may be brought
on by the rain" said w. p. Barnhart,
the Everitt agent.
"One Of the things which should be
looked into is the condition Of the rims.
II may seem like q small thing. yet
rust will collect on rims very quickly.
Rust can always be detected by the
appearance Of the beads of the envelope.
When the beads show a strongly
marked yellowish stain It is evident
that the tire has not been properly
cared for. This stain is nothing else
than rust, which forms on the rims and
is deposited on the beads Of the tire.

the tire. for 1t will slowly but surely

edges OF the rustcd rims will become

Further. when a rim Is rusted 1t is
impossible to maintain the close and
regular contact which should exist be-
tween rim and bead. Water will soon
find It's way into the tire to work its
usual harm.

Motor Car Maker Urges
State Speed Regulation

Commencing uniformity In automobile
regulations, Henry Ford, the Detroit
motor car maker. says:
III each State would but enact auto
mobile laws regulating the speed at
which the cars may be driven and
then prohibit any secondary legislation
by small towns or cities, the problem
would be solved. A motorist would then
be able to famiiiarize himself with the
law and would be able to meet Its
requirements II he desired. II he did
not, then every owner Of a car should
be interested In getting the violater ar
rested.
when the townspeople see It Ia no
longer possible to harass the motorist
by unfair laws and are assured that
automobile owners In general are en-
deavoring to enforce the laws, then
motorists will no longer drive many
miles to avoid buying anything In the
town. and the town In turn will make
the motor tourist welcome"

Moving Motors Over

Pedestrians should be careful about
walking in front OF moving motor
cars when the street has Just been
sprinkied. Unless II is raining, cars
never have chains on the rear wheels,
and only a small percentage of ma
chimes have nom skid tires. 1t Is not
only the danger of cars going straight /
ahead, but II the driver should sud.

swerve to the side.
Drivers of wagons should also rea-
lize the danger OF driving suddenly

more careful In the way they twist
and turn about the streets at night.

Brakes Should Be

Brakes not properly adjusted are
the cause of many castings wearing
out premsturely." says the head me-
chanic In one of the large automobile
repair shops in this city. "one drum
is sometimes tighter than the other,
placing most OF the strain on one
tire. This has the same effect on
the casing as skidding. 1t soon
Your brakes adjusted II your tire

WHALING INDUSTRY IS DOOMED.

The end of the whaling industry Is in sight. according to Roy Andrews. who recently returned from Corea with valuable additions for the mu- scum in this city.
 As in other fields the Japanese have made the most of the whale. and can- ned whale is eaten in the Orient as d substitute for beef. which is costly and hard to obtain.
 only since the Russian war have the little brown men made whaling n science. but already they have fore- seen the end of the pursuit. and are now engaged in perfecting a trawling system by which a steady supply of fish may be relied upon.
 Instead of the wasteful me thods of our forefathers the Japanea'e have treated the whale with the same h. telligent handling that the modern packer bestows on the steer. Noth- ing is allowed to go to waste.
 Our propensity for killing will soon put tho whale in a class with the crr- rier pigeon and the dodo.-New York American.

THE PENINsULA's STREAMS,

 In all directions from the city Of Nome are streams that run through gcod gold-bearing territory srd that have all the characteristics which make them workable by dredging methods. Streams like Solomon and the Kougarok have already been proven to be rich when worked oy dredges. but many other streams in locations that are just as promising have not been touched.
 Such rivers as Tishou. for instance. run through country in which gold has been mined in paying quantities by the old pick and shovel methods but the prospecting done on the riv- CTS themselves has been so small that 1t is really negligible. Tishou is rear home and therefore we'll known. ou' almost countless similar rivers. Sitt similar conditions. run through ,c' peninsula like net work.
