DOBLE-DE ETROIT
 MOTORS IS NEW
 CO|NPAN NANE

The Doble-D Detroit Steam Motors company is the name of the new cor Doration that will manufacture Doble- Detroit steam cars. The Doble cars i'll be handled in Arizona by the k ssel auto agency.
 The organization is being perfected .nder Michigan laws and the capital ization is placed at s10,000,000.
 The names of the men at the head of the company have not yet been dis closed, but it is understood that they will be men of very considerable nrominence in the motor car industry and that every department of the or sanization will be manned by thor oughly experienced executives.
 The development of the Doble steam aar has been one of the sensations of he motor car industry.
 The first car was displayed at the New York show in January. The in crest created at that time was so tremendous that it resulted in an aval- lnche of inquiries from all over the country. The better class of dealers everywhere showed a peculiarly keen interest in the new car, and there was immediately such demand for terri tory that the sales organization cover ing the entire country was organized in an incredibly short time.
 This sales organization is now prac- tically complete. It includes, without exception, men who have proved them

 Probably no such recod has ever be- fore been made by any motor car proposition.

 Plans for actual production are nov ing along very rapidly now and it is confidently expected that cars will be ready for delivery by fall.
 The new models that are being pro- duced now, by Mir. Doble and his as- sociates, are showing even greater possibilities and an even higher de- gree of operating efficiency, than was shown by the models displayed in January

 The par value of the stock is $10.00. It is being subscribed for, however at $11.00 and investors are guaranteed that full par value of the stock will go into the treasury in actual cash, the additional s1.00 per share being suffi- cient to pay all organizing expenses of every kind

 A little later the new company will also devote it's attention to the adapta- ton of steam to motor trucks, tractors motor boats, airplanes. interurban cars, etc. In fact good deal of en- gineering work has already been done along these lines and some rather startling developments may be looked for within a short time.

SPECIAL LICENSE
ON TOBACCO OFF
FEDERAL ACT WILL NOT BE IN
EFFECT AFTER MIDNIGHT
TOMORROW.

Merchants who sell tobacco and
cigars will not have to pay the special
federal license tax after today. The
tax goes out of OBJECT on January /.
Under the provisions of the amend
ment to the war revenue act Of last
summer this tax has been repealed.
1t was in effect for nearly two years
and during that time every dealer in
tobacco had to pay the special United
States license. Not only are the deal
ers relieved of this burden but they
are also relieved Of good deal OF
trouble in making the necessary re-
turns. All of the special licenses ex-
pire at midnight and no renewals win
have to be made.

TO PAY FOR EXTENSIONS.
Purpose OF The Increase In Capital
Stock is Explained by Presi-
dent BigeloW.

The increased capitalization Of the
Columbia Water & Light company is
made necessary by the recent exten-
sive improvements and extensions that
have been made in the plant, said
President Charles e. Bigelow, today
when seen by a representative Of The
Herald. Mr.. Bigelaw explained that
the erection and installation of the
filtration plant, the laying of new
mains and erection of new wires and
making of other improvements had
required large outlay. In order to
meet this expense the capital stock
had been increased. Not all of the
increase, however, will be made now.
The company simply is authorized to
issue stock as needed. To take care
of the necessities of the future the
issuance of additional stock may be
necessary. This can be done now
without any further amendments to
the charter.

Mules and folks packed and jammed
the streets and public square of Co
lumbia today. II the rain of the night
and early morning haa any effect
upon the presence Of either that fact
was not apparent. There were hun.
dreds and hundreds of mules here.
They comenced to arrive on Sunday
afternoon, they kept coming through
the night and by o'clock this morn.
ing there was large number of them
on Court Square. AS the morning
wore on they continued to come and
by noon the streets around the Court
House, leading to the Court House
were apcked and jammed with mules.
There were mules from Court
Square to beyond the Bethel House;
they were on North Main street from
block or two; they extended on West
Seventh street to beyond Moore's big
stables. They were down South Main
street. 1t was an exceedingly difficult
and somewhat precarious undertaking
to navigate any Of the streets immedi.
ately around and about Court Square.
1t is difficult to estimate the mum.
Der of mules, but no one thought there
were less than 1000 and many be.
iieved that 1,500 would have been a
conservative guess. There were all
Kinds OF mules, too. The sleek, very
at, large, high class sugar mule, was
not very numerous. There were an
unusually large number that were
rather thin in flesh and while there
we're a great many big mules their
lack of flesh and rough hair handi.
capped them.
Trading during the morning hours
was slow. There were a score or
more Of buyers on the streets, but
there seemed to be gulf between the
prices asked and those offered. The
very sleek and extra fat large mules
sold readily and at good prices, but
IN the bulk of the mules the buying
vas exceedingly slow. One farmer,
who had large number OF mules
here today, stated that he had been
unable to dispose Of a single mule.
Another well known mule farmer said
that he had not even had bid on q
single one of them. Prices were not
rs high as the farmers had expected.
The small and thin mule was not
wanted. Buyers passed them by with
hardly a look.
1t is expected that trading would be.
come brisker and sales more frequent
during the afternoon, although several
farmers said that they expected to
take their mules home; that they were
either far too high in their price or
the buyers were altogether too low,
the difference was so great that they
did not expect sales.
