F. A. CAMERON OUT FOR
CITY CLERK.

Mr.. F. A. Cameron is announc-
ing his name in today's paper as a
candidate for City Clerk, subject to
the voters action at the coming
primaries.
Mr.. Cameron is asking for an
office he has every ability to fill to
the satisfaction of all concerned,
and is experienced already to a
great extent in the working duties
of the place he wishes, having
audited the city's books three
times, necessarily his audits cover
ing to a great extent the clerks s
books, which contain almost a
complete record of all of the city's
transactions. The system now
used by the city in the conduct of
its business affairs was also INSTALL
ed by Mr.. Cameron as a result and
on his recommendation after one
of his audits. Mr.. Cameron has
a complete audit of the county's
books also to his credit, and is
about as conversant with the
affairs of both county and town
official affairs as anyone who does
not have direct everyday contact
with such transactions. His ex-
perience as a bookkeeper, which
has been Mr.. Cameron's chief vo-
cation. all of his life, in case he is
chosen as clerk will add greatly to
his efficiency in this Office.
Mr.. Cameron believes that any
thing that is worth doing at all is
worth doing well, no matter how
hard or how much painstaking
effort it requires when he is assign
ed a duty he endeavors to fill it
along that line. If he is chosen as
clerk those of the voters who fav-
ored some other candidate will
know that nevertheless the business
of the Office will be in good hands.

GEN. FUNSTON HISTORY.
Funston is Luck Dog Of Service"
Always "Nhere the He'll Pops"
When Trouble Starts.

Washington. Maj. Gen. Freder-
ick Funston, who is in charge of
the United States army campaign
into Mexico, is called "The Lucky
Dog of the Service. Funston
seems to be always "whe1e the
hell pops, !" as several envious
swivel chair officers put it today.
Funston was on the scene and the
one chosen to take Aguinaldo in
the PHILIPPINES. Funston was on
the job at San Francisco when the
earthquake and fire visited the
coast some years ago. Funston
was the one elected when President
Wilson ordered Vera Cruz taken.
And now he's elected again when
Villa is to be captured.
In the capture of Aguinaldo.
Funston displayed qualities which
peculiarly fit him for this latest
work. That capture was perhaps
the most spectacular incident in
his career.
After weeks of unsuccessful
effort to run down Aguinaldo Fun
ston conceived plan which met
with favor. On March 6, 1901,
he left Manila on the gunboat
Vicksburg, with two lieutenants,
two captains, three ex-insurgent
officers and 80 Macabebe scouts
for Casiguarn Bay, which he reach
ed at l o'clock on the morning of
March Is. The party marched 80
miles over rough mountain trails
to the little town of Palaman, Ag-
uinaldo's headquarters, which they
reached eight days later. Think
ing the scouts were insurgent rein
forcements, Aguinaldo's forces re-
ceived them, only to be attacked
after Aguinaldo's quarters were
surrounded, Funston himself took
Aguinaldo single-handed.
Among Aguinaldo's officers, Gu
riously enough, was one namedIVil.
la.
Not member of Funston's little
force was even wounded.
Funston is the man to send af-
ter Villa, said Chairman Hay OF
the House military affairs commit
tee today. "No better man could
have been chosen. The Mexican
bandits will never give him open
battle"

American Aviation

Aeronautical designers in America hay, been hampered by the fact that theli Is not dependable aviation motor fnan,a factured in this country, according t2 Eustace L. Adams in the March Populas Science Monthly. He says:
 Tn Europe there has been a great adg vance in the manufacture of aeronauticss motors, chiefly because several automq bile manufacturers turned their attentios to this phase of the motor i1dustry Firms with international regulations foS motor designing, such as the Mercedt iE Germany, the Renault in France ans the Sunbeam in Great Britain, have dtS signed aeronautical motors which arH giving the greatest satisfaction under thA most difficult war conditions Until very lately the aviation motois made in this country have been. manl factured by companies which had littll or no previous experience in motor de' signing. The Packard company has de signed a promising 12-cylinder, aviatio1 motor, and the Simplex Automobile com pany is equipping the rejuvenated 9Wrigh aeroplane with a well designed and care fully built motor, which in it's frs tests has Justified the hnnes placed il it by it's designers.
 "When automobile manufa e+s cd operate with aeroplane builders and sue ceed in developing an aeronautical moto which is as dependable as the automobil l motor of today, the most formidable ob stacle in the path of aviation will hay been overcome.
 If the war has accomplished nc othe useful end, it has advanced the progres of aviation many years. In the Jnitet States, without the spur of military ane naval aeronautics, aviation was regarded as profession for circus performers whose main duty was to loop the loop. and provide thrills for the crowds. Now with aircraft manufacturers turning ou aeroplanes at the rate of IS day, tn, public is beginning to realize that it i a remarkably healthy infant industry closely rivaling the unprecedented growtl Of the automobile industry in it's earl, stages. One of the foremost aeronautica experts in the country recently said t, the writer:
