HAYNES DID MUCH
IN POWER CONTROL
Present Shaft Drive Developed
y After Many Experiments.

The essential problem in the develop
ment OF the automobile has been not
20 much the production OF power. as
controlling the power after II has been
produced. Elwood Haynes ran his first
car without clutch or transmission. and
II was necessary to solve these and
othef problems OF power control before
the automobile was anything like a
Rerviceable piece of mechanism.
Haynes himself furthered the useful
ness OF the motor car in the early days
Of the industry by designing the first
working transmission, which was of
sliding gear type. In this the gears
for the three speeds were operated
by long fingers. actuated in turn by
the drivers hand lever Instead of q
walking stick, or slot arrangement, the
lever was pulled back for reverse, and
pushed forward to the first. second. or
third notches for the forward speeda.
This type Of gear shift could be easily
operated by a child. and after its APP
pearance in 1897. II continued In general
use until II was displaced by the Sc
lsctive gear transmission in 1906.

Actual practice brought Sut several
serious objections to this Arrangement

motor directly on the rear axle was
tried out. beginning in 1895. a direct
gear drive came Into use.
The vibration OF the motor on the
rear axle proved so Objectionable how
ever that the engine was suspended
on the springs with the body. The new
arrangement necessitated the chain
dive. used by practically all the motor
car builders whose combined output
In 100 was GOO.
When the motor was placed at the
front of the chassis In 1908 and 1904,
the shaft drive came INTO uso. and

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES
By Supt. s. E. Notson.

The writer attended the Inland
Empire Teachers Association at Spo-
kane last week. Them Getting was, in
many respects, the best which the
Association has held. Among the
speakers of national reputation were
DR.. A, E. Winship, U. S. Commission
er of Education Claxton, Commission
er E. 0. Sisson, Pres. w. T. Foster,
Pres. Henry Suzzallo, and G. P. Zan-
er. Most of the addresses would have
been called very radical if they had
been delivered five years ago. Every
body recognized that the sentiments
expressed were indicative of the edu-
cational revolution which is going on
around us. DR.. Claxton spoke of the
opportunities for working out edu-
cational problems n the Northwest.
Here educational theories may be sub
mitted to the test of the laboratory
in way not possible in the more
conservative sections of the country.
DR.. Winship said that the day had
gone by when it is possible to have
a successful educational meeting
with only teachers present. He said
it Is necessary to have business men
and other professional men in the
meetings, and above all that it is
necessary to have representatives of
school boards. He thinks that it will
not be many years before the people
and boards will find it a good invest
ment to send at least one school
board member to such gatherings at
public expense. He regards the school
board section of the National Educa-
tional Association, of which Mr.. o.
M. Plummer of Portland, is the pres
ident, as one Of the most valuable
sections in the association.
DR.. Sissen predicted that we are
near the time when we will have
schools in session twelve months in
the year. The work will be modified
to make the summer work include
much Industrial work. DR.. Claxton
said that the schools must produce
efficient workers in the human hive,
but he said we must not forget that
we are more than machines for the
production of wealth. We must re-
member that we are human beings
that the things of the spirit should
not be sacrificed to the god of efl-
cient production; that while making
living is very important part of
our work here, we should not forget
to live while we are making a living;
that industrial education is valuable,
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1916-04-27

but that the education of the heart
Is more valuable; that it is the work
of the schools to teach the brother
hood of man and make great wars
an impOssibility.
The most interesting address on
Industrial education was given by
Prof. T. ]. Newbill, of the Pullman
State College. This was gratifying
to the writer, as Prof. Newbill was a
former pupil of the writer.
Among the school men from Ore
gon, who appeared upon the pro-
gram, were State. Supt. Churchill,
Pres. P. L. Campbell, Pres. ]. H..
Alderman, Supt. l.. r. Alderman,
Supt. o. M. Elliott, Pres. w. T. Fos-
ter, and Prof. Fred C. Aver. The
writer was the only county super
intendent from Oregon, who had a
place on the program. One Montana
superintendent came to the meeting,
bringing with her fourteen of her
teachers, the expenses of all being
paid by the boards of education. The
City of Spokane did itself proud in
making it pleasant for the members
of the association.
Nearly all the meetings were held
in the Lewis and Clark High school.
This school has a very commodious
auditorium. The lighting of the stage
has been so arranged that no direct
light falls into the eyes of anyone in
the audience. The stage is large
enough to accommodate a glee club of
one hundred fifty members. The
windows throughout the building are
provided with tan canvas adjustable
shades, which make it possible to
regulate the light easily, preventing
a glaring light and still affording am
pie light when it it necessary to shut
out the direct rays Of the sun.

READY MARKET IMP.
ORTANT TO CREAMERY
By F. w. Kehrli.

Dairy Field Agent for Eastern Oregon
The cooperative creamery about
to be started in Heppner under the
management of l. M. Morgan, should
be large factor in stimulating the
dairy business in this section. It is
to the interest of every farmer inter
ested in dairying in this vicinity to
stand behind this enterprise and lend
it his active support and patronage.
Here now you have the opportunity
to market your cream through your
own organization, and be sure that
you are getting all there is out of
your cream.
Unlike several cooperative cream
cries recently organized in other
parts of Eastern Oregon, this cream
cry was not organized through the
aid of professional promoter. In
several such cases coming under my
observation, these promoters have
put in creameries which cost the far
mers from $4,000 to $500, and which
could be duplicated for not to exceed
$4,000. The farmers could have
saved the difference by doing the pro-
motion work themselves and calling
on experts from the college to assist
them in organizing. In this creamery
all of the money subscribed will stay
right here to 60 into equipment,
building, working capital, etc.
Two of the most important factors
for successful creamery are that it
must handle considerable volume of
business, and 1t must have a ready
market for its product. In this
creamery the product of over 400
cows has already been assured, and
this will insure sufficient volume of
business to keep the overhead
charges down to reasonable figure.
Heppner alone will be the market for
considerable portion of this butter
during the greater part of the year,
and not much difficulty should be ex-
perienced in disposing of the rest.
Dairying is bound to become of
more Importance in this section, and
a successful creamery will do more
toward bringing this on than any 9TH
er factor. The best feed combina-
tion for the dairy COW is alfalfa hay
and corn silage. Both of these feeds
yield well here where water is avail
able for irrigation. These two feeds
properly combined produce butter
fat, through the COW, at a very low
feed cost per pound of butterfat.
However there is another factor
in successful dairying that is just as
important as cheap feed, and that is
good cows. Few dairymen realize
the great difference existing between
individual cows in their herds as
profit makers. The only way to de-
tect the "loafer" COWS is to weigh and |
test the milk from each COW at reg
ular intervals for a year. Then you
are able to ascertain accurately which |
COWS are returning you a profit, and |
which are the "boarders. There are |
other factors that must be considered |
in profitable dairying, but the above
mentioned are the most important.

Congressman to Wait
and viii Not Act in
Railway Strike Now

Members OF Congress are paying lit
tie attention at this time to a food of
letters from their constituents urging
them to take action in the matter of
the threatened railroad strike.
These documents are the result of
the "back-fire" campaigns that have
been organised to impress upon men,
bers Of Congress. and through them
upon public opinion. the sentiment of
the people and important business in
terests throughout the United States.
During their time of waiting here,
pursuant to resolution adopted at
their meeting yesterday, the members
Of the committee of $40 chairmen rep
resenting the employees are also be-
sieging the offices of the senators and
representatives.
The attitude Of the members of Con-
gress is that they will be glad at the
proper time to do all they can for their
constituents and the labor leaders, but
that they recognize at this time that
the White House would not welcome
their Interference, and that their in
tervention would but delay the agree
ment that must be reached as soon as
possible for the welfare Of the entire
country When a commission is being
or has been appointed to investigate
the contingent issues the members of
Congress will then exert their infu-
ence looking toward a permanent set
tlement that will prevent the recur-
renee of such a critical situation.
All Of the letters and petitions rela-
tive to the case are being fled where
they will be available for any commits
sion that may be authorized to con-
slider this controversy In detail and
how 1t affects the people of the United

Guardsmen now in state training camps
to proceed to the Mexican border, how
long the guard is to be kept at the bor-
der and. II Indefinitely. why an addition
to the regular army is not sought in
order to permit the guardsmen to re-
turn to their homes and business.
Other light Is sought in the resolution
as to what provision has been made for
training the guard now on the border;
whether it is actually receiving valuable
military training or not; whether suf-
ficient rife ranges and drill grouIfds
have been provided 1t: whether the
Army War College approved the mob
position Of the guard on the border,
and whether Funston has recommended
