CONGRATULATIONS BRO. SWAN

z We want to congratulate our
Etriend Bro. Swan, editor of the Phil
~ 2ppi Republican, on the excellent edi-
fSn he got out last week which we
considered the best ever published in
bur neighboring town, but no wonder,
Swan is a natural born newspaper
man and knows how to get up an IN
teresting paper, even if he is Re-
publican. From the way his sub
scription list is growing it is an
evident fact that the people recognize
his ability.

ing the cylinders. Naturally enough
there are times when it is desirable
and necessary that the cylinders be
removed to inspect the motor, tighten
the bearings, and do other little things
that seem essential after a motor has
been running for a whole season, but
if it is only a question of removing
the carbon the oxygen process is not
only far better but simpler and cheap
er, and the best part is that it does
not lay up the car except for an hour.
An oxygen tank with regulator and
gauge is provided with hose and a
nozzle, the latter being equipped with
a shutoff valve to be operated by
the finger, much as, the trigger on a
revolver is worked. II has been found
expedient to put half cupful of kero-
sene in each cylinder the night before
the carbon removing operation is to
be started. This has the effect of
softening the carbon and at the same
time adds fuel for the oxygen to

nishing a light. Then the oxygen noz.
zle is put into the cylinder and the
trigger valve opened a little to per-
NIT the oxygen to ignite. Then the
nozzle is twisted and turned until
every part of the cylinder is reached,
with large fame working, of course.
Combustion of carbon takes place and
all is fairly burned up.
Naturally the operation is with one
cylinder at a time, and it is essential
that the motor be placed on dead
center for that cylinder so the valves
are closed 1t is not intended that
this process remove carbon from the
valves; they will have to be ground in
the same old way if compression is
weak, and the cylinders should have
an injection of lubricating oil after
ward, for It must be remembered the
oxygen takes out everything in the
way of lubricant and will leave the
cylinders and pistons dry.
Even without the aid of the oxy-
gen process much of the carbon may
be removed by a simple process in
volving no work and costing nothing

discovered this scheme is disputed;
a half dozen have laid claim to the
first attempt At least one Chicago
man discovered it for himself, even If
others had that honor for themselves.
A small sand hole in cylinder cast
ing permitted a little water to find
its way from the water jacket to the
cylinder to the extent that the gas
would ulow water out of the filler
cap.
When the cylinder was removed
preparatory to being replaced with a
new one it was discovered that while
the other cylinders were badly caked
with carbon, the one into which water
had leaked was perfectly clean, Meth
er cylinder wall nor piston having a
trace of carbon. Later, Henry Nyberg,
well known a few years ago to
Chicago motorists, tried the water
cure for carbon, with success.
The motor is started and permit
ted to run fairly fast and water is

carefully at first lest the water might
stop the motor. Then when no eff.

no trouble.
The motor was run long enough to
permit four canfuls to be injected, and
then little while longer to be sure
the inside of the cylinder would be
free from moisture and covered with
a film of oil While the motor was
not dismantled to observe how clean
the cylinders we're, it was certain that
much of the knocking was eliminated

running better. At the worst the wa

DOUBLE HEADLIGHT.

Double headlights have been de-
signed for automobiles which are used
in cities where ordinances prevent the
use of powerful lights. A small candle
power bulb is mounted in a reflector
above the ordinary electric lamp,
forming an arrangement that is eff
cient both in the country and in the
most crowded city strets. When using
it no dipmer for the lights is required.

one berry and imagined he could see

mile roadhouse site, and took to HIS
heels across country. At the time
the horse ran away Billy and his
friend were walking behind the rig.
Billy jumped in and endeavored to
stop the horse, but the line broke and
he either fell or was thrown out. Bill
was hit by nearly every part of the
vehicle on the side on which he made
his exit. Result: A very badly dam
aged shoulder and arm, one knee badly
lacerated and the calf of his right leg
severely cut. Bill is under the Doctors

case of Joe Campbell, who was SEN
fenced in Iditarod in 1912 to life i'm.
prisonment for the murder of the Mel.
son brothers in the Kuskwim district
in 1911.
This investigation is said to have
been ordered by reason of the fact
that Campbell some months ago wrote
from the penitentiary at Levenworth,
kas., where he is serving sentence, to
newspapers in Alaska and to United
States officials. making inquiry for one
Billy Barnhart. He claimed with the
aid Of this man he might be able to
prove his innocence. Barnhart was
last seen by Campbell. according to
his story. at Russian Mission, on the

sons were killed at some indetermin-
ate time. supposed to be in June or

BOX TEN ROUNDS
FOR PURSE Of
$4,000

NEW YORK, Aug. 31-New heights
in ring finance were reached in the
signing of Packey Mcfarland and
Mike Gibbons to box in this city Sept.
IL. These two glove artists agreed
to box ten rounds without decision for
a purse of s32,500, of which Mcfarland
is to receive s17,500 and Gibbons $751;
900. No title will be involved and
even though a knockout occur the re-
suit will be without championship
value.
Underthe circumstances the paying
of $3.50 per minute to Mcfarland and
$500 per minute to Gibbons establishes
what is undoubtedly new record in
limited round pugilism. Owing to the
boxing skill and reputation Of these
modern ring generals the gate receipts
are quite likely to exceed by several
thousand dollars the purse and other
incidental expenses but there is moth
ing in local puglistic history to war
rant the idea that the receipts will ap
proach the figures reached in famous
battles of the past.
The largest gate receipts ever re
corded at a bout in New York were
sec, 300 taken in at the Jeffries-Sharkey
twenty-five round battle, fought at
Coney Island, November 3, 1899. The
fight between Jim Corbett and Kid
Mccoy, during the closing days of the
Horton Law, under which some of the
greatest bouts of modern ring history
were fought, netted $56,350 at the
gate. Championship fights in Nevada
Australia and several other points
have drawn larger gates but many
famous fighters including Nelson
Cans, Britt, McGovern, Fitzsimmons
Ketchel, Jeffries and Corbett risked
and in some cases lost, their titles be
fore fistic gatherings, the receipts
from which did not equal the set aside
for Gibbons and Mcfarland.
