MANY LOCAL PEOPLE ATTEND
SAN FRANCISCO EXPOSITION

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 25.-The
weather since my last letter, has i'm
proved. Attendance at the fair is
better, too, Our Eastern Oregon"
booth has beenn frightened UP with
| consignmentS of fresh fruit (apples
and peaches) till it hardly looks like
the place that l helped to look after
last spring. It is surprising how
many people poster us by begging
for apples and peaches. They want
to buy them and they want US to give
them. Some resort to broad hints
and others come out and beg. We
have to explain and explain IF we
ever broke over our rule there would
be such a rush that nothing could
stop it. "Oregon apples!" rheY
surely have a wide reputation and
the way some of the women tease us
for them would surely melt anv but
a heart Of stone. The other day a
distinguished appearing lady started
general conversation. which she
gradually led around to personal
matters and then to an account Of
brother who was suffering from
illness. She then explained that she
wanted just a few oregon apples forI
her sick brother Now, maybe that
good sister has a sick brother and
maybe, if I had allowed her plea to
touch my heart, that afflicted man
would have had the opportunity %
sink his teeth into a rosy Jonathan
or a golden "Oreley," but I have A
suspicion that the whole story was
simply fixed up for that particular
occasion for the sole and exclusive
purpose Of grating an apple or a..
pies for the use and benefit OF the
said sister.
However. for the benefit Of all
these apple-hungry people, we are
now announcing "Oregon Apple Day

1t will be signalized by an effort to
promote closer relations among the

Faulty piston rings seem to be the
only condition which would give the
oiling trouble you mention. 1t may be
that the joints of the rings, which are
of the ordinary eccentric type, have
become aligned. leaving q passageway
for the oil to enter the combustion
space. Another possibility is that you
have too much oil in the crank case.
which causes a greater supply than
necessary to be thrown up. 1t would
seem that the best step to take would
be to. remove the pistOns and examine
the rings on the cylinders that give
the trouble. The pistons can be re
moved by taking off the lower half of
the crank case, removing the lower
connecting rod bearing cap and with
drawing piston and connecting rod as
sembly. A replacement of the rings
should eliminate the difficulty.
In washing a car will mixture OF
gasoline and water cut the grease? If
so, how should it be applied?
No doubt the addition of gasoline to
the water in connection with sponging
the car will efficiently aid in the cut
ting of the grease. 1t would have to
be applied either in a spray or sponge,
as these are the only two practical
methods of mixing it in such a way
that it would combine closely enough
to form suitable mixture for clean.
ing. Kerosene is also frequently used
in this manner with success.

fies within the tube, and the tubing
can be bent like a piece Of solid cop
per. After the desired bend has been
obtained the rosin can be run out by
heating the tube with blow torch.
Another method sometimes used is to
fill the tube with sand, but the rosin
method gives the better results.
Why has a rotary valve engine five
or seven cylinders instead of four, six
or eight?
The odd number of cylinders gives q.
more even tOrque in rotary cylinder
engine. Questions of balance make an
even number of cylinders preferable in
the conventional type of motor.
Is it possible to start the motor in a
car when the self starter fails to work
and the crank is missing?
When the starter fails and the hanG
crank is not available the best method
of starting the motor is to jack up one
Of the rear wheels so that it will turn
without touching the ground. Them
place the gear shift lever in high, and
a few turns of the uplifted wheel wilI
start the motor. Place the gear shift
lever in neutral before letting down

a runaway on your hands. or at least
the motor will stall. and you will have

erly done the entire operation takes
only a few moments.

Again stories of the finding of big
pearls in the Mississippi are rampant.
These yarns have cost the people
along the grand old stream millions
of dollars, for they have induced
thousands of farmers to quit the field

Both the parties are of Bohemian

Already the seating capacity OF the

Richland county has a board of

Speaking of rhapsodies, just take
minute off, gentle reader, and per-
sue this elegant stuff that was manu-
featured by the Ithaca correspondent
of the Richland Democrat. Isn't it
richness:
March, April and thus far in May
have been unpre cedented in the
memory of the writer for agreeable
weather, fine roads and favorable
conditions for springs seeding and
cropping. The splendid rains of the
past week have been the means of
making luxuriant pasture and every
thing augurs we'll for a bountiful hay
crop. Should there be any grumblers
concerning Mother Natures doings
for the past ten weeks they are of
the chronic breed and not those who
appreciate a good thing when it is
handed to them. Grand Old Rich
land she is the gem of the state, the
queen of them all the one place that
gladdens the eye of the wanderer who
has roamed and looked in vain to find
an elysium on earth, only to discover
it in the place of b is birth.
And Mineral Point is not to be left
out in high-class shows. The New
Henrietta" appears in the new NUM-
cipal theatre at the "Point," May
20, the night after the Richland
Center production. Other good com
muties will not long be without these
attractions. The municipal theatre
has come to stay. and Wisconsin was
the leader in the movement.
Railroad men across the line in
Illinois are out for a six day week.

Will slightly rotating the poppet
valves of a motor prevent the valves
from improperly seating and carbon
from forming on the valve seats?
Oscillating the valves will tend TO
keep the seats clean and thus the
valves will be found to seat more uni
formly. Naturally. this will also pre-
vent the accumulation of carbon in
any quantity on the seats.

The knuckle should be Strengthened
when hot. 1t is better to put in a new
one, however, as it is difficult to
straighten it so that the wheels will
run true. If the bend is in the spindle
there is no possibility of Strengthening

arm is bent it will be hard to true

| have a car with a two speed rear
axle. Whenever ! GO down hill or over
bump with the clutch out | hear
rattle. What is the cause of this?
The rattle you mention is probably
from the idle pinion on the rear axle.
In this axle there are two bevel piniOns
constantly in mesh, and one of these
is always running idle, and the partic-
ular gear which is delivering the pow
er from the motor depends upon the
position of a dog clutch. When the
car goes over a rough spot with the
clutch out there is q tendency for the
drive shaft to revOlve at an unequal
rate of speed due to the inequalities
Of the road, with the result that the
idle pinion is alternately thrown back
ward and forward against the bevel
gear, with which it meshes, thus max
ing a rattle. There is always a certain
amount of back lash in these gears,
and the amount of noise will naturally
depend upon the extent of this play.
There is nothing serious about this, as
the noise occurs only at rare intervals,
and then is not the indication of trOu-

How far apart should the spark plug

neto?
The usual point clearance is one thir-

even a smaller clearance is better. If
the plug points are too far apart you

wrong. as the motor will start to miss,
