The country was found to be fair

Everywhere the country is infested
with snakes and the rivers swarm
with alligators, but animals are not
numerous and comprise chiefly dogs,
tame and wild hogs, and kangaroos

The conformation of the country
varies from low-lying marshlands
pregnant with fever to high healthy
plateaus and mountains such as the
Wilhelmina Peak, which was climbed
by two Dutch officers and found to
measure about 1925 feet, nearly as
high as Mount Blanc.
Several of the rivers flow very
swiftly and are full of rapids and

CASUALTY LISTS

OF MANY HEIRS
IN CONSEQUENCE THEREOF,
MANY CHANGES HAVE THUS
BEEN MADE IN HUNDREDS
OF BRITISH PEERAGE.

London, Aug. 4.-The casualty lists
of the British army have already. at
ter little more than a year of war.
brought hundreds of changes in the
British peerage. Many heirs of great
titles have fallen, and in numerous
cases the next heir is now in the
trenches. Several notable titles will
become extinct as the result of the
death of the sole legal heir.
The changes wrought in the peef
age by the death roll call into prom
inence the complications and ano-
nolies of the laws of succession. and
it is possible that legislative action
may be taken to straighten out some
of the kinks which would wipe out
titles long cherished as national MEM
orials, or which would cause them to
pass to some obscure relative with
out the shadow of a just claim to
ennoblement.
As the law stands, succession is
limited to direct male descendants.
who may be as far removed from
the last holder of a title as a grand
son of paternal uncle. Daughters
have no claim whatever except by
special act of the king, as in the case
of Lord Roberts.
The following is list of some of
the more notable deaths of officers
who were heirs to peerage, and the
effect their deaths will have on the
title:
Lord Wendover, who recently died
Of wounds, was sole heir to the Mar
quisate of Lincolnshire, a title con-
ferred on Lord Darlington in recog-
milton of thirty years service to the
state. There are five daughters, all
married, but they have no claim
either to the barony or the mar
quisate.
Captain ]. N. Biggs, only son of
Lord Stamfordham, private secre-
tary to King George. There is no
heir to the barony.
Captain Claud Keysey-T Thompson,
son and heir of Lard Knaresborough.
He..was unmarried and there is no
other heir, so that the barony will
become extinct on the death of his
father.
Lord Hawarden, who fell early in
the war, has succeeded by his cousin,
Captain Eustace Maude, who is serv-
ing in the Egyptian army.
Captain Lord Brabourne. His heir
is his uncle, Cecil Knatchbull- Huges-
sen.
Viscount Northland, is survived by
a son less than two years old, who
becomes heir to the earldom.
Julian Grenfell, eldest of of Lord
Desborough, of Olympic Games fame.
One of his brothers, G. w. Grenfell,
has also been killed.
Captain Lord Worsley, eldest son
and heir of the Earl of Marlborough.
His two brothers are both army of
ficers.
Lord de Freyne, kinsman of Sir
John French, is succeeded by a half
brother. Another half-brother was
killed in action on the same day as
the peer.
Major Clement Freeman Milford,
eldest son and heir of Lord Redes-
dale. Of his four brothers, two are
serving in the army and two in the
navy.
Captain Colwyn Philips, eldest
son and heir of Lord st. Davids. His
brother, Roland, cavalry lieutenant,
is now sole heir.
When the Earl of Erne died few
months ago it was supposed that his
son and heir, Major Viscount Critch-
ton, was a prisoner Of war in Ger

Repalr the Tire Cuts.

AS the tire revolyes a suction is pro
duced which draws particles of dirt
into a small cut. Gradually these par
ticles work under the rubber, grinding
and cutting 1t from the fabric. II neg

der the tread soaks up some road mois-
ture. which causes it to weaken, and a
blowout soon follows.
A tire cut is the most common and
most destructive OF all tire troubles
and yet is the easiest to remedy If
taken In time. 1t is a good plan to
look over your tires every few days.
II will pay to repair any cuts, however
insignificant they may appear.
You can do this quickly by cleaning
out with gasoline and filling In with
quick repair gum. A can of this is In

Power depends upon thorough state
of efficiency in every component part
Of the engine. Whenever or wherever
any part is weak or inefficient power
production is inevitably reduced. In
the case of piston rings this is particu-
larly true.
Compression is essential to operation.
and piston rings are used for the single
purpose Of making perfect compression
possible by sealing up the combustion
chamber of the cylinder against gas
leakage. They fit around the piston
head and by means of their spring
close the space between piston head
and cylinder wall. A thin film OF oil
serves to make them effectually gas
tight.
Now, when power shortage is appar-
ent it is the piston rings that should
always come In for examination. The
usual type ring found in most engines
develops faults very easily. In fact.
after short period of service 1t can no
longer be considered efficient

A MAN WITH A CONSCIENCE

We desire to call especial attention
to the article on the first page from
the Chicago Herald and showing what
one stockholder can do in big cor
poration for the benefit of the work
ers. The most important statement
is that showing the percentage of the
stockholders who favored an eight
hour day in the steel industry, and
although this great reform was not
accomplished Mr.. Cabot's work will
yet bear fruit and the shorter hours
of work will come much quicker for
his pioneering.
That forty-eight per cent of those
who replied to the suggestion favored
an eigh hour day. shows as Mr.. Chen
cry remarks, how fundamentally de-
cent are the instincts of the larger
section of any group.
Mr.. Cabor did secure one days
rest in seven, he also secured better
housing and improved sanitary CON
ditions and appears to have made the
first step in the recognition of the fact
that the workers in the steel mills are
human beings and not mere animals.
Mr.. Cabot saw what every true
friend of labor must recognize that
the laborers must have their own
unions and be dealt with collectively.
This is the basic step in all forward
movements in the interest of workers.
We agree with Mr. Chenery that
few more New England consciences

THE STATESMAN AGAIN
SERVES THE MASTERS

True TO its instincts to take slap
at the workers and to uphold the pre-
datory interests The Statesman con-
tains from time to time vicious at
tacks upon the La Follette's Seamen's
Act This law is the first effort in
fifty years to do anything to improve
the conditions of sailors, and no law in
recent years has been more viciously
assailed The law also aims at the
protection of passengers.
The three main provisioIs of the
law are that sufficient life saving ap-
paratus shall be carried by vessels to
protect the lives of all on board; that
IS per cent of the sailors shall be over
ao years of age and shall have had
three years experience and that the
sailors shall be able to understand
commands given in the English Ian
guage.
The Statesman is careful not to give
the provisions of the Act, but the three
above quoted are the ones which the
shipping trust assert will drive Ameri-
can ships from the high seas. If so,
so be it.
To contend that it is essential that
the American flag should fly over a
crew of Japanese or Chinese, that
vessels should put to sea without adj
equate equipment of life-savers and
with inexperienced sailors in charge
is 10 put the dollar above the man in
so conspicuous manner as to bring a
blush to American manhood, but that
is just what the Stateman and all the
organs of the special interests con-
tend.
The Statesman has no interest in
this matter and it is only due to its in
rate cussedness that it takes the stand
which it does. AS we have pointed
out from time to time that dirty rag is
always against every movement for
the improvement of the conditions of
the laborers and always serves to the
best of its ability every corporate in
terest that preys upon the public. The
people of Idaho are onto its curves
all right and its influence for many
years past has been of negilible
quality,

FIFTY MILLIONS IN WATERED

A remarkable advertisement APP
peared in the Tuesday evening edition
of The Capital News. h is addressed
TO the people of Boise and states that
the Public Utilities Commission of
Idaho has given its approval to plan
of control by new corporation OF the
water power traction roads and light
ing interests of Boise and adjacent
country; and that this new corpora
ton is now being Aoated in the east
with stock nd security list of $780,
100000 issued on less than 100000
Of assets, and should the deal go
through, Idaho and its citizens will
or all time be paying toll on $5Q,OOO,-
100 for the privilege of using its own
latural resources. The advertisement
is signed by J. P. O'Brien & Company
investment brokers of Boston, who
assert their interest in the matter is to
protect the first mortgage bond hold
ers of the Boise-Payette River Electric
Power Company.
We are in no position to know what
the facts in the case may be or the
real motive actuating the O'Brien
people. but certainly such a charge
should be fully investigated by the
Public Utilities Commission and by
the people. 1t would be a monstrous
wrong TO fasten a corporation upon
the people of Boise, with $50O0O,0OO
of fctictious stock and securities upon
which the people would be forced to
pay interest.

sIidIna FRICTION Of Tires.

Among the items OF tread wear not
commonly recognized is sliding fric-
ton. An expert with one of the tire
companies explains this as the friction
which occurs between the tire and the
ground, due to surface motion of the
tread. AS the surface of a tire Is
doubly curved, to hatten any portion
of 1t against the ground involves a
rertain amount Of surface distortion,
Dnd when this distortion is transferred
from one part Of the tread to another
a continuous sliding friction is pro
duced. This materially Affects fuel
consumption.
