MORGAN AND NETMORf MUCH
SURPRISED At GROWTH HERE
WELL KNOWN AUTO RACE PRO-
MOTER STILL BOOSTING
SCHEME TO ESTABLISH BIG
SPORTING ARENA.
SPORTING ARENA.

w. ]. (Motoring) Morgan, well
known in this city and vicinity as
the man who promoted the majority
of the big automobile races on the
famous Daytona Beach, and John c..
Wetmore, a we'll known New York
newspaper man. were visitors in
Daytona for several hours Thurs
day, having come down from Ormond
where they have been spending a
few days.
Neither has visited this section
since the days of the big auto races
and both were much surprised at the
changes and improvements which
have been made in Daytona and
vicinity since that time.
Mr.. Morgan is enthusiastic about
his scheme for establishing a big
/ sporting arena somewhere at a cen.
trail location in the state of Florida,
where all kinds of sports may be car
ried on during the winter months.
/ and believes that would be the best
advertising stunt that could be ar
ranged for this state. He believes
it would be an attraction for athletes
and their followers from all parts Of
the country and would put Florida
on the map as the real winter ath
letic ground.
Messrs. Morgan and Wetmore left
today for Chicago, where they will
spend several days attending the BIZ
automobile show.

TESTING HIS STRONG WILL
Connected Club Man Caught in At
tempt to Prove Superiority of His
Mental Powers.

At one of the clubs the other day
two members were arguing about will
power. The conceited man, who was
in the habit of boring all present with
his pointless tales. said that his will
was stronger than his friends.
you are wrong there" said the
quiet man, "and 1 will prove it in this
way. You go and stand in that cor
ner, and I will will you to come out
of 1t. You will against me, and I bet
you that I will have you from that cor
ner before / have commanded you a
second time"
The smart one took the bet, and put
himself In the corner. The quiet man
said, in a commanding voice.
Come out Of that corner."
The other grinned and shook his
head. The quiet man sat down and
looked at him steadily. Five minutes
passed, and then the man Of viii said,
with a sheer
Hadn't you better give it up? I
don't feel any influence at all, and
can't stand here all the evening"
There is no hurry" said the quiet
man, and I have a very comfortable
seat. There is no time limit except
that you are to come out before l ask
you twice. and as I don't intend to
ask you again until this day week,
think you will feel the influence be
fore then
The smart one came out.

DELEGATES GET PROMISES OF
SUPPORT FOR DEEPER WATER
FROM MEMBERS OF CONGRESS

providing for an appropriation for a
survey of the inlet would surely be
passed.
Judge Barrett said he again
wished to impress on the winter res
idents and visitors to this section the
value of their intercession with their
senators and congressman at home
in behalf of the inlet improvement
and urged that all who had not al
ready written, do SO now.
w. l. Hamilton, secretary of the
New Smyrna board of trade, was
the second speaker. Mr.. Hamilton
said it was impossible to enlarge on
the report as presented by Judge
Barrett. He wanted to lay particu-
lar stress on the change of attitude
In regard to the inlet Improvement
on the part of the senators and con-
gressmen when presented with the
facts and figures relative to the in
let and its comparison with st. Lucie
inlet as port of entry. He said
the fight for the Improvement would
be continued until the work was ac-
complished and that meeting was
to be held in New Smyrna later in
the month, due notice of which would
be given, for the organization of a
waterway association for the adj
Vancement of the interests of this
section. A meeting will also be held
at New Smyrna tonight to receive
the report of the delegates.
Rev. D. H. Rutter, the delegate
from the board of trade of this city
next addressed the meeting, the
speakers being introduced by r. L.
Smith, secretary of the Daytona
board of trade. Mr.. Rutter pre-
faced his report with a humorous
story illustrating the fact that little
had been left for him to say. Mr..
Rutter is a forceful and interesting
speaker and strongly emphasized
and rounded out the points made by
his fellow delegates. He gave as
evidence that they had not beer
idle while in Washington the fact
that he had worn through the soles
of his shoes, new when he left this
city. He paid high compliment tt
the value of Judge Barrett as a del
agate, both through his winning per
sonality and his large and intimate
acquaintance with public men, say
ing that he was hailed on all sides
by his christian name and likewise

addressed them by their given names
and that through him they secured
audiences with prominent men whom
they would otherwise have found
difficulty in approaching. Mr.. Rutter
declared that he was absolutely sure
that the inlet improvement could be
secured through the united effort of
the people of the section to be bene-
fitted and that a concerted and per-
sistent effort should be made until
the object was accomplished.
The meeting was further addressed
briefly on the subject at issue by
several gentlemen, including R. B.
F. Roper and H S. Walker Of New
Smyrna and DIR George Walton and
S. H. Cove of this city.
Before the close of the meeting
rising vote of thanks was given
the delegates.

SENATOR N. P. BRYAN REPLIES
TO LETTER FROM GEO. H. CLARK
HAS INTRODUCED AN AMEND
MENT TO RIVER AND HARBOR
BILL REQUESTING SURVEY OF
MOSQUITO INLET.

The following letter anent Mosquito
Inlet Improvement written by Senator
n. F. Bryan in reply to Geo. II. Clark
is similar to that from Senator ID.
u. Fletcher to the Peck-Hendricks
company, published in Wednesdays
issue of the Daily News and will
have it's interest to the public:
Dear Sir: 1 have your letter of
January 28th, in behalf of an appli-
cation for the improvement of Mos
quito inlet. Before any appropria-
ton is made for the Improvement of
rivers and harbors it is necessary
to have the project approved by the
board of Engineers for Rivers and
Harbors or by the Chief of Engineers
Of the War Department. The prelim-
mary step to bring this about is to
provide for a survey of Mosquito in
let. SURVEYS have been authorized
in the past, but neither the Board
of Engineers nor the Chief of Engin-
GERS have yet approved a project for
improving this inlet. In order to
bring their attention to this matter.
and have them report at a time wheI
50 many people seem favorable 10
having the work done, 1 have intro
duced an amendment to the river anC
harbor bill, requesting a survey;
and hope it may pass, and that upor
examination the engineer officers
may be convinced that the project
would be worthy of improvement ant
appropriation to carry it out.
Yours very truly, n. p. BRYAN.

EXPLAINS Change
IN DRILL PROGRAM

Winnemucea, New, Sept. 6, 1913.
Editor Silver State:
Since the close of the Moose Labor
Day Carnival, there has been con-
siderable criticism of the manner in
which the drilling contest was handl-
ed, and from the talk it might easily
be inferred that the whole thing was a
- frameup' for Yockey.
The facts of the case are as follows:
1t had originally been arranged to
have a double-handed drilling contest,
but as no entries had been made up 10
within eight days of the Carnival, it
was decided to change it to single
handed match.
For this event, three entries were
made, all from Rochester. On the first
day of the Carnival / received several
telephone messages from Rochester
urging me to change it back to a
double event. This I was unable to
do, as there had been three entries for
the single-handed event.

MONTANA SUFFERS
BY TARIFF BILL

Free wool agitation, with prospects
of tariff protection being entirely re-
moved in the near future, has cost
wool growers of Montana 100000
this year, declared =. w. Mcclure, Sec
retary of the National Woolgrowers
association, In an interview in yester-
days ld-kepublican. Mr.. Me-
Clure's statement was given in CON-
ment upon an interview with Gov. s.
V. Stewart, of Montana.
Governor Stewart, of Montana,
has said that the bulk OF the sheep
men of Montana are in favor of free
wool and that the course of the Demo-
cratic senators from Montana in favor
of free wool was approved by the
sheepmen of that state,' said Mr.. Ne
Clure. "Of course, Governor Stewart
Is Democrat, and at the last. election
1T was understood that the Democratic
party did not lavOr and would not
stand tor tree wool
'One of the Democratic senators
from Montana during the last cam
palgn spoke at many points in that
state, and in every instance assured
his hearers that he was opposed to
free wool, and said that when the
question came up at the Baltimore con-
vention the proposition was voted
down. lie appealed to all the sheep
men OF that state to support him ON
the ground that he stood for a tariff
on wool. 1t Governor Stewart doubts
this we can produce for him copies of
the letters In which these assertions
were made.
1.-The other Democratic senator
from Montana addressed the Mon
tana Woolgrokers association short
ly before his election. He assured
them he favored duty on wool.
"Governor Stewart may feel that
the Montana woolgrowers favor free
wool, but there is nothing to back up
his belief. Almost two-thlrds OF the
people of Montana in the last election
voted for tariff on wool. Free wool
has cost the state of Montana this
year alone close to $2,00O,v0U, without
any compensatlng benefit whatever"

SOUTHERN PACIFIC STOCK
MEETS With READY SALE

Stockholders of the Union Pacific
have subscribed, according to the I'M
derwriters announcement, for about
50 per cent of the sss, 1857 900 South
ern Pacific. The time limit for sub
seribing to the stock expired Tuesday.
The stock represented the balance of
Union Pacifc's holdings following
the exchange with the Pennsylvania
of Southern Pacific stock for Baliti-
more & Ohio.
Under the decree of the Supreme
Court in the Hartman merger case
Union Pacific was compelled to divest
itself of the stock and it was offered
to Union Pacific stockholders. The
subscribers will receive certificates ex-
changeable for the stock itself only
when transferred to persons who are
not owners of Union Pacific stock.
The outcome of the offering has
been awaited in Wall street with un-
usual interest owing to the indication
which il was expected to give of con-
ditions in the investment market The
rush of Union Pacific stockholders to
subscribe for the stock was so great
that hundreds of persons stood in line
for several hours at the Offices at
which subscribers were received and
it was predicted that virtually the
whole offering would be absorbed.
Although these predictions were not
fulfilled, the result was regarded as a
success and as evidence of this the
stock market improved after the an
nouncement, although the stock itself
receded slightly to 80 3-s, the year s
low figure.

WONDERFUL ACCOMPLISH
MENTS OF COMPRESSED AIR

One of the first uses to which COM
pressed air was put, on commercial
basis, was for mining machinery. In
1s49, J. J. Couch, of Philadelphia, in
vented the first PERCUSSION rock drill
acting independently of gravity
Though used only experimentally, it
embodied the principal mechanical
features of the modern machine drills.
Couch Is machine, together with the
Fowle drille (1s49-5D and the Cave
paris, 1s51), was steam driven and
therefore unsuitable for underground
work. In 1852, the physicist Colladon
proposed the use of compressed air for
operating rock drills, in connection
with the driving of the Mount Cents
tunnel, in the western Alps. His idea
was developed by Sommeiller and 9th
ers between 1852 and 1860, and in
1s61-62 an air-compressor plant was
first used successfully at that tunnel
1t was driven by water power and
furnished air Tor ventilation as well
as for drills.
The transmission of power by com
pressed air thus dates from about the
middle of the last century. 1t is hard
ly necessary to say that the early com
pressors were crude in both design and
construction. Sommeiller's first
plant, though of large size and ef-
feetual in fulfilling its purpose, had
some resemblance in principle to the
old hydraulic ram, possessing no NOV
ing parts except the valves. Piston
compressors, driven by steam engines,
more or less similar fundamentally to
some of the wet compressors still IN
use, soon made their appearance,
Probably the first compressors built In
the United States were those employ
ed at the Hoosac tunnel, western Mas
.sachusetts, In lS65-66. The Burleigh,
Norwalk, Clayton and Rand were
among the earliest makes In the Unit
ed States.--Robert l.. Streeter, In En-
gineerine Magazine.
