The bogio of a possible gasoline

motOrdOm Is waiting oNpootlutly for

Producing high power and high
speed at the cost of former low power
and low speed today is the bone of
most furious engineering contention,
according to Jaul smith, Vioc-prcs.-

STORAGE BATTERY
TESTS ARE MADE


From the activities OF the Society
of Automobile Engineers it is eN-
pocted that new light will be thrown
ON the comparative merits of the
storage battery and the magnetic as
sources of electric current for auto
mobile ignition Special experiments
conducted 10y some of the members.
the results of which are to be dis
closed at the forthcoming winter
meeting of the society are said to
have demonstrated that the systems
are practically of equal value as
far as power production is concerned,
i'm conditions of ordinary operation.
These results are of further impur-
taucc i'm confirming the conclusions of
Watson. the British Investigator who,
i'm 1901 exploded the theory, then
generally entertained that "fat'

ignition of the gases in the cylinder

LONDON, March 15.-The ung. pected call of married men to the ctl- DTS, has brought great many com plaints to the newspapers protesting that: the wholesale exemptions of un- married men is a virtual violation of the pledge given by the authorities to the married men that they would not be called out until all available sin gle men had, been recruited, and the Hull recruiting committee has passed resolutions that serious injustice has been done the married men who attested under the Derby scheme un- less the government enforced compul- sorry military service upon all unat- tested married men.

COUNCILMAN HICKEY
 GOES TO MATANUSKA

Councilman Ross Hockey handed his resignation to the city council this week, and left today on the Admiral Farragut. for Seward, where he will take the trail to Anchorage. and from thence to Matanuska, where he in- formed a representative of this paper that he would probably take up one of the rich homesteads in that section and settle down to an urban life.
 MT. Hockey believes the Matanus- ka country has great possibilities for the small truck farmer. and will erect 8 home on government land in the coal country and send for, his family when navigation to Anchorage opens.
 MT. Hockey has been a member of the city council the past term, and a residents of Valdez for many years. He and his estimable family leave a host of friends behind them who wish them good luck in their new home.

But, although a lunch is to be served, it may be just as well for the dancers to eat dinner before coming, as the stock of green apples in the market is somewhat limited.
 The gentlemen are requested to wear white gloves and green neckties, and to bar anything red. except, pos sibly, socks. The idea is to keep the green above and the red, if any, be- meath. The committee does not pre- sume to prescribe what sort or color of dress the ladies shall wear, but at later date they will offer few gen. tie hints which it would be polite to follow.

Ross and John Hockey of this city this morning received the sad news of the death at Delta, Colorado, of their father, William Henry Hockey, at the ripe age of 73 years.
 MT. Hockey was born at Dayton, Ohio, in 1843, and at the outbreak of the Civil War, when in his eighteenth year, joined that brave band of vol unteers which made up the famous 94th Infantry, Ohio Volunteers. He served the flag of his country bravely during the entire period of the war, having been engaged in the bloody battles of Stone River, Nashville, Lookout Mountain, Atlanta, and Mur- physboro, under the redoubtable Gen. Thomas, and was also in the famous march to the sea with Gen. Sherman.
 At the close of the war, when MT. Hockey was mustered out, he return ed to his home in Ohio, and being of an adventurous disposition joined that band of pioneers which paved, the way westward for the march of, civilization, finally settling at Delta,l ,l Colorado, which has been his home. for several years.
 He raised a family of eleven chil-s dren, five boys and one girl still liv-; ing. of which R. H. Hockey of this city is the oldest. One brother and : '"s.':>,~ et* resi- Ms of, Ohio, one

The anniversary of the conflict is of un- lzsuaI interest at this time, when the troops of the United States are again on Mexican soil
 The verdict of history on Uncle San1's. Mexican exploit of seventy years ago is not altogether to his credit NO less an authority than General Grant, a veteran of the Mexican inva- sion, asserted, that 1t was ''the most unjust war ever wased by a power full nation against a weak one
 It is to be said for Uncle Samuel however. that he had been patient and Iong-suffering in his relations with fis turbulent neighbors. Mex ico had been ernbroiled in civil war from the beginning of the republic in 1894t Most of Mexaco's statesmen and military leaders were interruptions, and they. had not hesitated to replen- ish their empty coffers by plundering American ships in the Gulf of Mex leo and confiscating the property and goods of Americans who had settled an Mexico. The claims of. Americans against Mexico amounted to $6,O0O,- 900 at the outbreak Of the war.

Af- ter a series of victorious campaigns, cuIminating in the capture by Gen Scott of the City of Mexico, the Mexi- cans sued for peace. By the treaty of peace Mexico ceded Ito the United States vast territory including Cali fornia, New Mexico. all of Arizona, north of the Gfla River, Nevada Utah and a. part of Colorado, for which the United States was to pay Mexico $15,OO0,000, and, in addition, to assume debts due to American citizens from Mexico.
