MOTORMAN'S SEAT.
Invention of Burlington Man Found
Entirely Satisfactory.

Through an invention of ]. Romeo stone
of this city of motormans seat Il new
industry has come to this vicinity, where
the seats will be manufactured, and a
company has already been formed to take
over the project. The seats have an adj
vantage over the ordinary motorman s
seat in that they have both revolving
and stationary top. They can also be
adjusted at almost any angle by means
of Il mechanism. Another advantage is
that when attached to the floor It is be-
tween the controller and air brakes and
when not in use can be swung entirely
out of the way
The seats have been In use on all Of
the cars of the Burlington Traction COM
ranY for several weeks and have been
found to be entirely satisfactory. They
are specially designed for air controlled
cars and already a number of inquiries
have been received from different manu-
facturcrs and traction companies. The
work of their manufacture will he begun
on small scale at first and at the present
time the Stevens Machine shops are
handling the work, although it is ex-
pected that later on the seats will have a
home of their home.

Los Angeles, Cal, fierce forest fire
was raging recently. After it had blaa-
ed forth for several days it was brought
under control The next day u fresh
wind started the fire again and 1t threat
ened destruction to the entire forest.
After all other methods had been tried,
dynamite was secured, Hundreds of trees
were dynam!ted to make the fire break,
and it was soon put out, The dynamlt-
ing was in charge of Ranger i'ritz of
Camp Badly station and three forest
patrols,
Eggs went up with a bang in Boise,
Idaho, recently. That Is, three cases of
bad ones did. They went not only up, but
east, west, north, south and sideways,
The incident occurred on the bank of
the Boise river, where officials of the
State pure food department took the
three offending cases for destruction, A
couple of sticks of dynamite were touched
off under them and the eggs, cases. and
even the smell We're blown to atoms.
The ancient and honorable poultry prod
ucts were found in Boise grocery stores.

Nearly 100000 in Autos.

If we are to judge of the condition
OF this section of the country espe-
cially from a financial standpoint, we
would at once come to the conclusion
that no section of the country was
more prosperous. This conclusion is
reached after reading about the auto
mobile business, and the great ex-
pectations that are being enjoyed by
the dealers. For instance the follow
ing from the Twin Falls Times is an
example of what may be expected:
Optimism seems to prevail among
the automobile dealers of Twin Falls
from the activity shown in the auto
mobiles now ready for delivery to
prospective buyers. Indications for
good year are not wanting among
the buyers, who are already circulat-
ing about the various agency head
quarters evincing a great amount of
interest in all of the working parts.
That the buyers are for the most part
hunting the dealers is evidence of
better trade conditions.
At present every agent in the city
has cars to sell without delay. Dur
ing the slack winter months several
carloads were received and with the
shipment recently delivered tie up a
very tidy little fortune. A very low
estimate of the cars standing on the
floors of the various agencies would
be $37 900. This figure does not in
clude any of the cars stored, the
property of individuals. To add to
the above large amount of capital
now tied up should be included one
or two shipments now on the road.
During this season at least 1875 more
cars are included in the contracts
made with the manufacturers.
1t is certain that war scares and
financial depression are unknown I'm
automobile vocabulary when the to-
tai value of cars which will be sold
(for they will be Sold will total ap-
proximately $250,000. Last year
Twin Falls city consumers paid over
$4,000 to John d. for gasoline. This
year should double that figure.

House cleaning" time in the or

municating with the orchardists
throughout the state, notifying them
that it is fast nearing the time dor
mant" spray should be used.
According to Mr.. Parks. the dor
mant" spray should be made In the
spring when the buds are swelling.
Bad cases of scale will need more
than one application.
The dormant" spray consists OF
lime sulphur of soluble-sulphur and
it should be applied thoroughly to
trunks. limbs and branches. This
controls the following insects: San
Jose scale, red spider eggs and pear.
