KETCHIkAN MAN
 THROWS JUNEAU
 WRESTLER TWICE

Ketchikan is on the map! As us-
 ual, the First City last night came to the fore in the wrestling match, which
 was to decide the heavyweight cham
 pionship of Southeastern Alaska, and Lersten, of Ketchikan, managed to throw Frank Miller of Juneau, twice
 the first fall in an hour and thirty
 minutes and the second in about forty
 minutes at the match and smoker given at the Moose Hall, packed with
 over four hundred and twenty spec tators.
 Only one preliminary boxing bout
 occurred before the match, three
 rounds between Frank Elkins and
 Virgil Morgan. both of Ketchikan
 Frank Miller was wrestling under difficulties, having a sore foot, and his opponent used both a toe hold and a falls This is said to be Miller's first defeat in Alaska. He is said to have had quite lot of experience wrestling
 with noted wrestlers, among whom was Doc Roller of Seattle several years ago. The match was held at Boston Harbor and lasted three hours and twenty minutes. neither nan get ting fall.
 Lersten, on the other hand is an amateur more or less, but having an advantage of about 20 pounds over his opponent.
 In speaking of the match this morn- ing Mir Miller is reported to have said that Lersten was a much better op- ponent than he had believed, and that he had been confident of winning. even with his injured foot. He is leaving for the Bell Island Hot Springs to recuperate and when his foot is entirely well he expects to challenge Lersten for return match, and states that he is confident of besting Lersten without any trouble when he IS in prime condition.

CALLS CADILLAC EIGHT
BEST CAR FROM AMERICA

so far as my experience goes, can
pronounce the Cadillac Eight the best
thing In the shape Of motor car that
has yet come to us from the land Of
the Stars and Stripes"
Thus wrote an expert in The Motor
News of Dublin, leading Irish motor
publication, after run Of 40 miles in
Cadillac Eight, through slush and
congested traffic N the streets OF
London and over snow-coyered roads
In the open country. He goes on:

speed thigh gear) on anything from
five to over sixty miles an hour. Tn J
acceleration Is really wonderful. Ths
rate at which the car can jump from a
creeping pace up to mile per minute
was to me revelation. This was not
my first introduction to the eigh.
cylinder engine, having made a run
several years ago in a De Dion with
the same number Of cylinders. The
one impression left on my mind il
connection with that trip was the
smooth running Of the engine. de-
scrfbed It then as being pulled along
by cable There was not onlys the
feeling OF sweet and easy running, but
the sense of supreme and constant
power as well. My forty mile run in
the new Cadillac, in and out Of traffic,
through slush and snow, up hill and on
level, was repetition of my previous
experience.
ITO use an Americanism, the Cad.
lilac is some car, as it provides COM
fort bordering ca luxury, speed far
beyond ones requirement, and ease OF
control so simple that a child could
drive 1t. Thanks to a highly organized
factory and an enormous output, the
American company Is able to put this
car on the market at a price that al
most defies competition"

STEAMER RANKS
FIRST NLIST
SAYS AUTHORITY
Crack Peerless Driver Looked
Upon as Future Speed King;
Three Times a Winner
BY II. A. HOOPER

There is but little doubt. that as a
powerful, flexible, and efficient me
chanism the steam car Is the nearest
approach to the ideal. In tests Of power
and endurance the steam car has In
the past been in the front rank, but
because Of other factors it has no.
been popular with the general public
and in the last few years has been
losing ground rapidly.
Its waning popularity has been due
largely to three main factors, expense
Of operation, time and trouble requir-
ed in generating and maintaining
steam, and the additional knowledge
Of mechanics and physics needed t"
operate a steam car at its fullest eff
cheney
What will be the future Of the steam
car is rather difficult to predict. Popu
lar prejudices are hard to overcome
even when the mechanical deficiencies
which formed the basis of these preju-
dices may have been removed.
Such rapid strides have, however,
been made recently toward the. pei
fecting Of the steam car, that II We
take into consideration the several
factors which did not exist a few years
ago, there is at least probability
that this type Of car will come back
into popular favor, in the not very
distant future.
Let US consider these new factors
which will influence the popularity
and Increase the efficiency of the
steam car. First, the steam car of
today burns kerosene instead of gaso
line, and with the increasing cost of
gasoline this In itself is q big factor.
Another factor which did not exist ten
years ago is the use of electric cur
rent for igniting the burners and for
heating them, when cold, SO that they
will yaporize the kerosene. This cleo.
trio current is generated by a small
generator and stored in a storage
battery to be used as needed, and
eliminates one of the principal worries
Of starting the old type of steam car
which was very difficult, especially if
the pilot light had gone out.
|. With the aid Of electricity and the
new method Of constructing the boiler
in small sections or compartments 1t
is possible to start the modern steam
car, even when the boiler is cold, al.
most of not quite as quickly as gaso-
line car.
The large consumption Of water has
In the past been also serious draw,
back to the use Of the steam car. A
condenser has, however, been perfec-
ted by which a large percentage Of
the water is used over and over again
and the water tank does not have to
be filled any .oftener, If as often, a.
the gasoline car.
It will be seen from the above that
the steam car, which has always been
excellent as to road performance
alone, may through the overcoming of
the objections named, come into its
well merited position as the nearest
approach to the ideal car, and estab.
lish itself as the popular favorite, in
the near future. + - -. q

specif ications were the work Of the
truck standards division, assisted by
Chairman Utz. of the standards com
mittee and others In the society.
Other divisions which assisted In the
work by accommodating standards in
their particular fields were the springs
division, the electrical equipment diyi.
sion and the tire and rim division.
Purely Military use -. .: !
The standard committees office
was simply to ratify the action Of
these divisions In the preparation oil
the specifications for military trucks.
One Of the things that was empha-
sized was the fact that these speci.
fications are purely for military pur.
poses. They are not intended for
commercial work. In fact, it was
pointed out that some of the require
ments would be more stringent than
necessary for commercial trucks. +
II was this consideration that led
the standards committee to decide to
suggest to the quartermaster general
that instead Of calling the trucks IL
tons and 8 tons, they be classified
under other names that did not state
the capacity definitely.
Consider Clutch FacIngs :
OF less direct military significance
but of interest to owners as well as
manufacturers was the announcement:
Of the newly formed transmissions
division that is working on the stan.
dardization Of clutch facings, for
which most owners will agree there Is
distinct need. Also, that of the new
storage battery division that work Is
going forward looking to the standard
ization of battery box sizes so that
they win be more easily interchange
able.

those In touch with the development
Of motor cars that the present meth

acceleration are not all that can be

1t is true that materials and labor
are more expensive and increasingly
hard to secure. This condition is not
serious, nor is it likely to be. The max
ers of medium and high-priced cars
overcome the difficulty by an advance
in their selling prices. The manufac-
turers of low-priced cars build in
much greater quantities, are pro-
tected by contracts until the end of
the automobile year, July, 1917, and
are able to absorb additional expense
by spreading it out over a great num-
Der of units and by increasing their
manufacturing efficiency.
