PHENOMENON OF FIRE HOSE
IGNTTING UNDER PRESSURE

Z Two lines Of hose were used. one
I from each side Of the engine and each
about 300 feet long. Morse gates
were placed between the first and
second length OF each line and the
gates we're checked down to about
one-third capacity, the gates on the
engine outlets being similarly re-
duced-
About IS minutes after the engine
was started with a pump pressure OF
$50 pounds, smoke came from the
hose about a foot from the coupling
at the engine connection Investiga-
ton showed that the hose was very
hot and in a moment flames burst
through the outer covering. Within
a minute the same thing sappened
to the hose on the otner side OF the
engine 1t was decided by the chiefs
and experts that the checking down
Of the gates had resulted in a ire
mendous amount OF water being
forced through a small opening The
water IN passing through the engine

angle. striking one side Of the hose

the friction caused by the two cotton

The fire did not injure the rubber
lining, which was not even charred,

for several inches around the burned
hole

RULING OF JUSTICE UPHOLDS
CLOSING Il. c. LIQUOR JOINTS

The closing of the liquor joints on
the Canadian border has been upheld
by the B. c. courts, according to the
following article from the Blaine
Journal:
Contrary to first intima tions, JUS
tice Murphy of New Westminster, sit
ting in the case of the application to
quash the liquor license bylaw Of
Surrey Municipality, refused the ap-
plication, according to judgment
handed down Monday of this week.
Justice Murphy found thai the
section under which the applicants
for near beer licenses are charged
$3.50 for inspection fee, over and
above the $500 license fee, is ultra
wires of the council under the law.
HE held further that the prohib-
sons under Is years, and which pro-
hibits females or persons under s
from entering or remaining in the
premises licensed, is invalid.
"The most holly contested and the
most important clause of the bylaw,
however, was declared by the Justice
to be sound, that giving the council
power to grant licenses only to prem
Uses having hotel Accommodations. i'll
Guiding a dining room. He says the
enabling section does give the coun
ell that power, and further, it gives
the council power to prohibit the sale
of near beer altogether within the
municipality.
The result is that there is no
likelihood of any of the two per cent
joints being reopened along the B.
c. boundary line"

SAYS COUNTY WOULD GET
LITTLE AID FROM CARLYON BILL

That the county would gain but
little by the passage of Referendum
No. /. the Carlyon bill, is the opinion
of many This side of the question
was presented as follows by the Ev-
erson Valley Home last week:
Despite the fact that the Refer
endum Bill No. is being backed by
the Automobile Club of Western
Washington and many other promi-
nent organizations, it is up to the
individual voters to make a study of
the plan and vote for himself the
way he thinks he is benefited.
At the present time, our automo-
biles are assessed a big license fee
which goes to Olympia and then is
returned for the purpose of better
roads. This money as we'll as money
raised under the referendum will be
used only on trunk roads.
In Whatcom County at the pres
ent time there are but few trunk
roads yet to build. What then will
be done with our share of the money
under either of the plans above men
toned? We do not believe that we
will receive the benefits that other
counties will and our taxpayers hav-
ing already burdened themselves to
build their own roads should add no
further encumbrances when the ben
efits will be practically none.
Nearly every paper is printing
more or less of the Carlyon bonding
plan and the voter should acquaint
himself with the facts in the case
and vote with his judgment.

In view of the marvellous achieve
ments in longdlstance flights, and the
various uses to which flying machines
have been put in the war, as well as in
the postal service of the United States,
II is interesting to recall that the six
teenth birthday of the airpane has
just passed.
Orville and Wilbur Wright, who
owned a bicycle repair shop in Day
ton. o., used their spare time TO
tinker" on flying machine. The
neighbors considered them crazy, but
harmless, and perfectly safe to be at
large. Finally they hit upon con-
traption to which twin propellers and
a 16-horsepower, four-cylinder gasoline
motor were attached-a winged affair
with a movable or elevating rudder In
front, which looked like cross be-
tween a large eagle and nightmare.
This machine they took to Kill Devil
sand hills, near Kitty Hawk, n. c., and
on December Il, 1903. they made four
successful flights. on one Of which the
airplane travelled distance of 30
feet.

OFFICE HELP BADLY
NEEDED. SAYS EXPERT
Head Of Business College Says World
OF Commerce Faces Aid Famine

That the Business World is facing
an ever-growing acute shortage of
properly trained men and women to
fill responsible positions is the OBJ
servation of A. B. Christopherson.
President of the Alaska Business Col
lege, Fourth Floor Exchange Build
ing. Bellingham, which is one of the
best most modern and up-to-date col
leges OF the Northwest
He bases his observation on the
constantly increasing demand for
trained men and women to fill posi-
lions in all phases of business life
that are constantly pouring into the
College Employment Bureau.
1.-The rapid expansion of all bust
ness on the Pacific Coast during the
past year has intensified the demand
for competent Office help says Mr..
Christopherson, I'VE have at the pres
ent time about five times as many
calls, on the average, as we have
graduate students to place. Stem
ographers and Bookkeepers cannot
be turned out fast enough to meet
the demand Other Office and cler-
ical help is also in great demand, and
from all indications this demand will
continue to increase"
Brain trained men and women
have never before had such an oppor-
tunity for advancement. Private Sec
rotary material is constantly being
sought by big business men.
Those able to step into business
and able to master business problems
find plenty of room at the top and
the road is never crowded.
I'm our institution we teach the sci
ence of business according to the
most modern business methods. With
a thoroughly equipped and modern
office, the practical working methods
are demonstrated so that the student
is in a business environment all of
the time he is learning.
Il sometimes wonder whether, sup
posing that we could graduate just
five times as many students as we
do, we would be fully relieving the
demand that is made upon u.s."

Much Resentment Over Assess
ment Levied by CoIIaday on
Convention Officials.
tBy stan Correspondent.)

CHICAGO, June S-More than 100
bona fide washingtonians were in the
Coliseum this morning. when the bar
rier dropped for the Republican
nominating convention. In addition,
500 men in official life in Washington
were in various parts OF the hall.
Some resentment was expected to-
day at the action OF National Com
mitteeman Z. +. Colladay in levying
an assessment of $25 each on the
more than two dozen Washington as
sistant seargeants-at-arms before
their badges were delivered to them.
The assistant sergeants-at-arms
agreed that $25 was rather. a cheap
admittance fee to every session of
the convention, when up to $3.50 Is
being paid here for single admissions.
yet they objected to the manner in
which the assessment, was levied.
They said that when the appoint
ments were given them no mention
was made that they were expected to
come across with any cash. and the
levy before the delivery OF the badges
look ed too much like national COM
mitteeman selling seats The money
thus obtained is to be used in main
tanning the District of Columbia
headquarters h at the LaSalle Hotel.
There was feeling that inasmuch
as the headquarters are maintained
for the purpose of boosting District
suffrage, a matter in which all Wash
ington Is interested, II would have
been easy enough to have obtained
all the money needed before coming
here.
There are a number of various
ways to use $25 in chicago, and
some of the assistant sergeants-
alarms had figured very closely on
their expenses.
with the appointment of the reso-
lutions committee this afternoon the
Washingtonians were ready to inau-
gurate their drive before the full
committee for a District of Columbia

ual members Of the resolutions COM
mittee have already been seen.
