tions are to be paid annually for
period of five years. Subscriptions are
being received in liberal amounts.

STREET PAVING IS
PROGRESSING VERY
RAPIDLY IN CITY
INCESSANT RAINS ARE ONLY
HANDICAP TO WORK OF
GRADING AND CURBING
CONTRACTOR PUSHING
ALL PARTS OF WORK
Sewer is Almost Completed-Big
Concrete Mixer Starts
Thursday

Work on the paving is progressing
very nicely. The storm water sewer
is almost completed. 1t extends from
the intersection of Main and Alderman
streets to the river west. Grading on
the east block was completed this
Wednesday and if the weather is not
stormy the big concrete mixer will be
started tomorrow morning. The six
inch coat of solid concrete will be
spread on the entire width of the
street between the curbs and upon this
will be placed a sand cushion. This
cushion will support the brick.
All of the curbing between Hanover
and Bridge streets has been completed
except at the Alderman street pune
tion. The curbs between Pearl and
Broas streets is also laid, and the curb
crew is now working on the strip be-
tween Pearl and Pleasant streets.
1t is contractor Prange's intention
to lay the paving the entire length
of Main street as fast as possible. The
graders and CURRIERS' will continue
their work on the side streets imme-
diately following the completion of
their work on Main street.
John Finan, engineer, is progressing
with the work of surveying the streets
very nicely. He has practically COM
pleted the work along Main street and
is doing some work along the inter-
secting streets. Except for the inces-
SAINT rains the whole work of paving
could not proceed faster.

WALKED II MILES: MUD
WATER AND SLUSH
X. c. Gunsolus and ID. E., Bracket
Had Misfortune With
Car

X. c. Gunsolus, secretary of the
board of commerce, and ID. 4. Brack-
EFT, shoe merchant, were the principal
parties concerned in an automobile
breakdown while travelling on Beld-
ing booster trip west Of Grattan last
Thursday evening. AS a result Mr..
Bracket found friendly shelter for
himself and car, but Mr.. Gunsolus, be-
coming passionately homesick, muddy,
wet and cold, took a real hike over
land Through small seas) to Belding.
He arrived in the city between one
o'clock and daylight Friday morning.
When Messrs. Bracket and Gun
solus were driving along the road
about three miles west of Grattan,
just before dark, the sparks plugs be-
came loose in Mr.. Brackets car.
Neither of the gentlemen could fasten
them securely, and after several trials
at binding them with wires, etc, the
job was given up as bad one. Mr..
Bracket remained with his car, but
Mr.. Gunsolus was unable to find a
suitable lodging and walked the entire
distance, eleven miles, into the city.
The day had been rainy, too, walking
was not exceptionally good. For this
reason, too, travellers in vehicles did
not frequent the road that evening.

WIRELESS CURRENT USED
TO START AUTOMOBILE
Overland Motor Was Controlled by
Wireless Station Five
Miles Away

For the first time in the history of
automobile it has been demonstrated
that a car can be started from a dis
tance by means of the wireless tele-
graph.
This was proved at the Indiana
State Fair where the motor of a Model
83 Overland was started every five
minutes by wireless spark from the
Overland headquarters in Indianapolis,
five miles away.
A complete wireless outfit consist
ing of motor generator, transformers,
relays and other paraphernalia was
installed in the show windows of the
city sales rooms. This was connected
with an aerial on the roof of the build
ing and by stepping the alternating
current up from 10 volts to 10000
volts the apparatus made it possible
to send messages 300 miles.
The Overland car on exhibition at
the fair grounds was fitted up with
a receiving apparatus and the neces-
sary automatic switches and relays
for throwing on and off the electric
current of the starter and magnetic.
An automatic switch was regulated so
as to allow the car to run for forty
five seconds, after which the magnetic
was cut off. The operation of start
ing the car was repeated at five-min-
ute intervals.
One of the most interesting features
of the experiment was the fact that
the entire operation Of starting the
car was accomplished without the aid
of human hand. A time switch, in
stalled in connection with the wireless
outfit in the city, controlled the en-
tire operation. From the time Cover
nor Ralston of Indiana put the car in
operation the first time by touching
a key at the sending station, until the
last day of the fair, the starting and
stopping of the car was taken care of
automatically.

Several attempts were made by work
men along their route to stop the team
but the horses slipped past their
would-be capturers. They were al
most exhausted before they stopped.
School had just closed and many
children were in the streets.
