The Ten Greatest Modern Inventions
Not long ago the Scientific Ameri
| can offered prizes of $3.50, 500 anc
: $50 for the three best essays naming
the ten greatest modern invention;
and the reasons for the choice. First
prize was finally awarded William
Wyman of Washington, for the fol
lowing selections:
The Electric Furnace, which pro-
duces cheat so intense as to simulate
the primal forces of nature" Among
other things it has reduced the price
of aluminium from more than $12 per
pound to less than % cents.
The Steam Turbine, which has eff
! fected great economies in steam con-
sumption and is sending the recipro-
I eating engine to the scrap heap.
The Gasoline Motor Car, which has
practically revolutionized methods of
locomotion.
The Moving Picture, which is now
an important factor in education and
one of the principal sources of cheap
and good amusement.
The Aeroplane, the most radical in
novation in the history of locomotion,
threatening to revolutionize warfare
and promising large possible CONNER
cial results.
Wireless Telegraphy, which has
robbed the sea of most of it's terrors
and has done remarkable things in the
field of world communication.
The Cyanide Process, which has rev.
olutionized the metallurgy of the pre-
cious metals.
The Induction Motor, which made
possible the utilization and transmits
sion of alternating electric current, is
largely responsible for the substitu
ton of electric for steam power in the
industries and has conserved from
80 to 60 per cent of the energy for
merly wasted in whirling line shaft
ing and betting.
The Linotype, which has made it
possible to set type almost ten times
as rapidly as before.
Electric Welding, making it easy to
join the most antagonistic metals
safely, surely and swiftly.

The Judges Musings
TOPICS OF THE TIMES

1t required ouly three minutes for
President Wilson to read his special
message on Panama tolls. The mes
sage contained nothing of import
ance. 1t merely asked congress to re-
pealed the law granting exemptions
to our coastwise shipping. The gen
eral tone of the message almost sus-
tains the inference that the president
was asking the repeal as a personal
favor There was no attempt at ar
gument-- no pretense even to set ont
facts upon which an argument could
be based. The message closed with
words which limited that there might
be diplomatic entanglements unless
did this for the president.

These suspicious are amply confirmed,
not only by the high tributes paid by
foreign diplomatists to the secretary
of state, but by the presidents own
recently uttered words of common

mends the secretary's "tact in dealing
with men of many sorts, his capacity
for business, and his mastery of the
principles of each matter he has been
called on to deal with" and he adds
that these things have "given to the

If the county would vote the 500, 600
bonds and use enough of that to make
the Columbia river road passabIe for
automobiles, the tourist travel alone
that would come into this valley and
stop to see its orchards, its fine homes
its lakes and mountain resorts that are
excelled in no other so small a compass
in the United States, would leave
enough money in this valley in ten
years to more than pay the bonds But
one of our guesses is that this will not
be done.
If the present plan to form the new
town of Utility out Of all the valley
below Booths hill and outside of the
town of Hood River is carried ont
something else will happen. A large
electric power plant will be erected AZ
some central point in the big town and
all living within its limits will have To
help nav for it. Then, a belt line
electric railroad will circle the new
town to help benefit it further. An
effort is now being made to contsruct
an automobile road from Portland over
the Cascade mountains by the wav of
Bull Run and Lost Lake, which would
terminate in the town of Utility. And

Maybe Taft Didn't Tell Thomas What
Was Going On.

According to Johnny EYers, cap
tain and second baseman Of the Bos-
ton Braves, President Thomas Of the
Cubs either doesn't know what is go
ing on in his club or Is seeking to
keep under cover prospective
change in the mahageFship.
EVers yesterday said that while
he was in Cincinnati with his team
an emissary of Charlie Taft, owner
of the Cubs, approached him and ask
ed him to give his opinion on the rela-
tive merits of Tommy Leach and
Roger Bfesnahan as managers.
This messenger, according to the
Keystone King, explained that O'Day
was doomed, but that Taft was un-
decided as to the man who would re-
place him. Bresnahatl and Leach
were both popular with the players,
it was stated, but TAFT wanted the
unbiased opinion OF wise baseball
man who had no interest in the club.
And it would be harder to find q
man who has less interest in the Cubs
than Johnny.

on the situation and declared he
