WHY ELECTRICITY is BEST.

Where electricity is feasible it is
better than either gasoline or steam.
Among the advantages of electricity
are these: 1t is available at once
when wanted the motor will run for
months without attention OF any kind.
There are thousands of electric pump
ing plants in the west which run for
"a hours a day for six months at a
time. The only attention the electri-
cal equipment needs is an occasional
oiling of the motor bearings. On the
other hand, the steam engine requires
the constant attendance of a licensed
engineer and the gasoline will always
call for more or less attention and re-
pairs. By being able to run the cleo
trio motor night and day, in connection
with a small reservoir to store the
water pumped at night, a much small
Ter equipment is needed to do the
work. These are some Of the reasons
why the electric motor is taking the
place of all others where it is feasible
to apply electric energy. 1t explains
the growing demand for electric power
in so many rural communities of the
west where irrigation is general

FRENCH LOSS is VERY PROBABLY
$4,000.

Correspondence of Associated Press.)
PARIS, Nov. 26.-The French war
office does not issue lists of losses in
the war. A correspondent by inquiry
in various quarters estimates that the
French loss in dead up to November
10 is something under 100000. The
number Of wounded and sick soldiers
being cared for at French hospitals on
November 10 appears TO have been
about 100000. The Swiss governments
bureau for the exchange of prisoners
of war has the names of 10000 French
prisoners IN Germany. Taking these
figures together the total losses OF
the French army would be about $780,.

A cAALLIs RoYa INVENTION.
A Crowbar That viii Be Adopted At
Siqht.
(Challls Messenger.)

(CnalilS MeSSenSer.)
Thomas A. EGison, Marconi and
several other famed men haven't got
anything on a Challis born boy when
it comes to useful inventions Frank
Woodson. Ia years old, has brought
to life very useful invention for
which patent is now pending.
The objectionable feature Of the
crow bar now in use is that in order
to get a leverage on the handle to lift
ar object, it is necessary to place a
stone block or a block of wood under
the foot of the crow bar. and great
deal Of time is lost in procuring a
stone or block OF wood the desired
size.
The Woodson crow bar eliminates
this Objectionable feature. 1t includes
q J-shaped bar. the short end of the
bar being furcated and pivoted to the
foot of the crow bar, while the long
arm passes through a slot in the bar
and is held in the desired position by
means of pin. This long arm is also
provided with a plurality of openings
for adjusting the crow bar to different
heights
The device can be applied to the
crow bars now in use, by drilling a
hole to receive the bolt of the short
arm, and by cutting a slot to receive
the long arm, and a slot to receive the
pin of the long arm
The construction of this crow bar
is marked by great simplicity SO that
it can be manufactured at a very low
cost and sold at a price within the
reach of everybody. This important
advantage together with its efficiency.
durability and labor and time it saves
insures its adoption wherever offered

Philadelphia, April Warren Nc,
Carrick. the seyen-year-old boy miss
ing since March II, was kicked to
death by a horse attached to a farm
wagon standing near the boys home.
according to letter received by Rob-
ert Cameron, captain of detectives.
The informant, who has not reveal

farm, declares the boys hoop rolled
under his horse and that when the
child tried to get it he was kicked In
the head.
The farmer placed him in the wag-
on and started to drive to hospital,
according to the letter.
Finding that the boy was dead he
became panic stricken and took the
body to his farm on the outskirts of
this city and buried it.
He says he will reveal the spot
where the body is buried if he is
promised immunity.
McCarrick is convinced that the
mystery surrounding his sons disap-
pearance is solved.

ACCUSED OF TAKING
$4,000 FROM MAILS
Railway Postal Clerk Arrested
at Harrisburg, Pa.

Harrisburg, Pa, April William
r. Baum, thirty years old. clerk in
the railway mail service here, was ar.
rested charged with having stolen
$4,000 from the mails. 1t is alleged
that two packages, each containing
$4,000 in currency, wete taken from
the mails on July 5, 1912. The money
was being sent from the Second Ma
tional bank of st. Paul to bank in
New York.
Baum was arrested as he was leav-
ing his home to go to work. He was
held under $4,000 bail by the United
States commissioner.
It is said the government has ex-
pended more than the amount of the
stolen money in the effort to uncover
the robbery.
At times there have been as many
as twenty postal inspectors at work
on the case. Every postal clerk work
ing between ST. Paul and New York
has been under scrutiny for nearly
two years.
Attention is said to have been at
tracted to Baum by the fact that he

FIFTY THOUSAND MEN IDLE
Operators Close Practically Every Coal

Cleveland, April With few ex-
ceptions every coal mine in Ohio was
shut down for an indefinite period.
Local operators estimate that $4,000
miners are thrown out of employments-
At the last session of the Ohio leg
islature law was passed providing.
for the payment of miners on run
of the mine basis instead of the
screen payment plan, which has pre-
vailed in this state.
This law is the cause Of the shut
down, because, although, it does not
take effect until May 90, the opera
tors refuse to renew contracts with
the miners until conditions resulting
from the law become more settled.
= The operators declare that under
the law they could not compete with
mines in other states. They hope ITO
have the law repealed or declared IN.

wrong in his decision that toll ex-
emption for American ships is a viola
ton of the Eay-Pauncefote treaty
with Great Britain.
Nothing, it seemed, could stem the
tide of administration success. Speak
er Clark, for nearly twenty-five years
member of the house, made the
speech of his life to forestall what he
termed degradation" of the nation.
In this he failed, but he did smooth
over the party breach with kindly
words for his adyersaries, praise for
President Wilson and an unqualified
denial of any vaulting ambition on
his own behalf.
When he had closed the debate for
the opposition to the repeal with an
impassioned argument, in which he
often departed from his prepared
speech, the speaker was triumphant in
defeat, for the entire legislative as
semblage, in which were many sena-
tors, rose to cheer him.
President Wilson Gratified.
President Wilson was at dinner
when the result of the vote was an
nounced. He was gratified, but made
no comment.
In the senate the bill will be re-
ferred to the committee on interocean-
ic canals, of which Senator O'Gorman
of New York, vigorous opponent of
the measure, is chairman. Senator
O'Gorman has said he would call
meeting of the committee at once to
consider the bill.
That there will be fight in that
committee is certain. How long it
will be there cannot be predicted, but
administration senators propose that
vote shall be taken by the commit
tee within reasonable time. Sena-
tor Owen is leading the fight for the
president there.
The committee will have many pro-
posals before it, several of them in
the nature of a compromise, some of
them resembling a motion of the
house minority to recommit the re-
peal bill and to repeal the exemption
clause with a declaration that the
United States should have complete
sovereignty over the canal. This
motion in Nhe house was defeated by
vote of 232 to 176. tt will be the
aim of administration senators to
have the repeal reach its final vote
within two or three weeks.

Washington, April 1.-The house
