Ny Dear Colonel :

M Dear COIOnel
| am constrained to ask YOU to
release me from my pledge of
support to you IN tire approach
ing congressional primary. You
have publicly stated in your
speeches on many occa sions that
when elected it was your pur-
pose to become a member Of the
Committee on Military Affairs,
and then what you would do for
the West Pointers would be a
plenty, or words to that effect.
evincing the most violent resent
ment towards the Regular Army
officers and West Pointers in par
ticular. | have a son, Mai. B.
| F. Miller, who is in the regular
army, and who, / am proud to
say, is a West Pointer. | cannot
get my consent to become party
to scheme to degrade my own
son, nor to place a stigma upon
the institution of which he is a
graduate, nor to support anyCne
! who entertains the views YOU
publicly express with regard to
West Point and West Pointers.
When | first heard YOU make
|your statement at the first speech
you made in Rappahannock III
April last, | felt that You had
inadvertently permitted your re-
sentiment over your treatment in
the army to get the best of your
judgment, and that you did not
really mean that You would make
it your business to fight West
Pointers when you got to Con-
gress, but you have repeated it
so often through Your whole
ca mp ign l am convinced it is
indeed your purpose. l am sure
that you can readily understand
how, under the circumstances, it
is impossible for me to accord
you my support.
With kindest personal regards,
JOHN ]. MILLER,
Member State Senate from Rap
pahannock, Culpeper, Madison
and Orange counties. 1t.

kaiser's Youngest
Son Shoots Self

Berlin, July 18.-Prince Joac-
him of Hohenzollern, youngest
son of former Emperor William,
committed suicide Saturday in
Po,sd am. He is believed to have
been in financial straits. He re-
Gently was divorced.
The prince shot himself while
in his residence. the Villa Leig-
mtg. He was removed to St.
Joseph's Hospital, where he diea
a few hours later.
Joachim recently had been saf-
fering from great mental de-
preston.
The only member of the former
imperial family now in Potsdam
is Eitel Frederick, the former
emperor's second son.
Prince Joachim was born De-
cember II. 1890, in Berlin. He
served IN the late war on both
the western and eastern fronts.
In the first year of the war he
was wounded in the fighting in
France. and for a long time it
was feared that he would not
recover. When he did recover
lie was transferred to the Russia II
front, where he had several nal
row escapes from capture and
afterward suffered a serious ILL
ness.
After the defeat of the Ger
mans there were rumors that
Emperor William would abdicate
in favor of Joachim.
Joachim was married in 1916
to Princess Marie Augustine, OF
Anlnalt, who then was just II
years old. A dispatch from
Paris early in the present year
said Joachim had brought suit
for divorce.
The prince during the war vas
rauked 4. 4 popular hero in Ger
many. Since the end of the war
little has been heard of him.
One report was to the effect that
he hoped to come TO the United
states after the peace treaty was
signed.

AND PUBLICSHOULD
 GET TOGETHER

"Co-operation between the shippers of Alaska and the steamship compa- nies, to work together instead of pull ing apart, and efforts directed against the government to get it to take its
 strangle hold from the Northland, are needed to stop the falling off of popu- lation and to make the territory go ahead" declared c. s. Butler, travel ing auditor of the. Pacific Steamship
 Company, who is checking up the To- cal offices in the territory.
 Those Alaskans," he continued, "who croticise the pioneer steamship companies should acquaint themselves with the facts. Freight and passen- ger rates, today between San Fran 1 cisco and Seattle are higher than they where the distance is less, in some in- stances, where the dangers are not so great, and where there is a bigger volume of business both ways. Our company has not made any money in the Alaska business for several years, excepting for one season. Prices for fuel oil, and for longshoring and labor, have more than doubled, the advances
 being more than that of the rates. However, the steamship companies are expected to maintain their service whether business offers or not. In- stead of appointing territorial ship ping board at the expense of the terri tory to endeavOr to get competing lines, the same money expended in CO., 1 operating with the pioneer lines al
 rec.dy in business and bringing about
 closer relations between the shippers
 and the steamship companies would
 prove of some practical benefit to the
 people. The margin of profit on busi-
 ness handled by the steamship compa-
 nies will stand comparison with the
 margin of profit of any business houses
 in or out of Seattle But it seems the
 popular thing to do to make the steam
 ship companies the goat
 "Co-operation should be extended to
 the point that actual facts could be
 gotten before congress and the people
 of what is the matter with Alaska,
 why it's great resources are kept tied
 up, why it is not gaining in popula-
 tion, with a view of getting govern
 mental red tape and interlocking fed
 eral authority restrictions removed
 and then with the territory going
 ahead as it should develop, every one
 would become so prosperous that they
 would forget to criticise."

CASB0ATS WILL MIX KEROSENE
 WITHCAS0LlNE

With engine distillate certain to pass out of existence as gasboat fuel early this season, according to an- nounced intention of the Standard Oil
 Company, officials of the Standard Gas Engine Company have just made pub lie the result of experiments with a mixture of kerosene and gasoline as substitute for distillate.
 It is said that power equal to that of distillate is given by "50-50" mix ture of gasoline and kerosene. Use of this substitute will not force gas
 boat owners to use the higher priced
 gasoline only.
 Details of the experiment are con- tained in a letter received here by the Blum o 'Neill Company, agent of
 the Standard Gas Engine ompany.
 The letter reads as follows:
 You are doubtless aware of the fact that the Standard Oil Company has recently taken distillate off the market. This move will of course be followed by the other oil companies. 'To date there is little or no pros pect of them ever putting this fuel
 on the market again. To overcome this drawback, in the lack of a cheap and suitable fuel for our engines, we have recently made experiments with mixtures of gasoline and kerosene, with excellent results. Tn fact, the power obtained is slightly in excess
 of that we would ordinarily get with
 straight distillate.
 For the purpose of our test we
 used a mixture of 50 per cent gaso- line and 50 per cent kerosene. The
 specific gravity of the gasoline was 53 degrees baume; resulting in a mix ture with specific gravity of 46 de-
 grees. This is two degrees more than
 distillate, which ordinarily is A. A 50 h. D. triple cylinder engine was
 used, and we obtained 62 40 horse
 power at 312 revolutions per minute. "Using mixture of one-third gaso- line and wo-thirds kerosene: we re-
 ceived only fair result, the maximum horsepower being 55 5-10 horsepower 1 and the minimum 51 2-1O horsepower.
 The engine does not run steadily, how
 ever, and we do not believe that this
 mixture would serve our purpose.
 We suggest that you try out the
 5O-5O mixture as soon as possible in
 various types of boats and let us hear
 from you regarding the success of your 1 efforts,"'

EAGLE RACES WITH AVIATOR
Big Bird Is Defeated in Encounter
With AirpIane Above the
Pyrenees.

London.-Eaglc and airman have
met in a contest for the supremacy of
the upper air and the eagle has been
defeated. The encounter occurred
high above the Pyrenees recently when
a British officer was plotting a single
scatter scout machine from Paris to
Madrid. The airman was flying at a
rate of 100 miles an hour when a big
eagle scared up to meet him.
1T was as if the eagle had thrown
me a challenge" said the airman, but
my smile died when l thought that
perchance a dive by the bird or may
be a collision would send me crash
ing to the rocks beneath. The eagle
numbered around me at about ninety
miles per hour and I throttled down
to the same pace while we took stock
Of each other, for all the world like
two antagonists above the western
front.
1.-THE eagle started to climb and l
opened the throttle and looped right
over him. He made one great effort
to catch up and with it his strength
failed. His wings gave a feeble beat,
and with every appearance of a shot
plane he dived to earth completely
exhausted"

through a business venture undertaken
by a former council headed by Mayor
Weisskirchner.
On the beginning Of the war. Mayor
Weisskirchner organized q committee
to collect public subscriptions for the

It is charged that Weisskirchner ad-

as well as city moneys to Hans Hafner,
who undertook to exploit several
schemes for the benefit Of Vienna.
Among Hafner's ventures was the
operation Of a large plant<for the pro-

Does Not Affect Foods or Druos Con.

featured.

Washington.-The federal food and
drugs &C does not apply, as many peo-
pie suppose, to foods and drugs which
are manufactured and produced in M
state and not thereafter shipped ont OF
that state, that Is, that are consumed
within the state where produced. Such
foods and drugs are subject to state
laws.
The provisions Of the federal food
and drugs act do apply to the
foods and drugs which Cd are shipped
or delivered Cor shipment from any
state or territory or the District Of
Columbia into any other state or ter
ritory or the District Of Columbia; (2)
are shipped or delivered for shipment
from any state OF territory or the Dis
trict of Columbia to any foreign couli-
try; (3) are being imported into the
United States; Oh (4) are manufac-
tured, sold, or offered for sale i'm the
District of Columbia or any territory
Of the United States.
The words "food' and drug as de-
fined in the federal food and drugs act
have a somewhat different meaning
from the popular understanding Of
those terms. For instance, water IN
der the food and drugs act is classed
as food. The term "food" includes all
articles used for food, drink, confec-
tionery, or condiment by man or 9TH
er animals, whether simple, mixed or
compound. The term drug includes
all medicines and preparations recog-
nized in the United States pharma-
copoeia or national formulary for In
ternal or external use, and any sub
stance OF mixture of substances in
tended to be used for the cure, mitiga-
ton or prevention of disease Of either
man OF The animals.

Fish Cannery Planned by Ari-

Los Angeles, Cul.-The Salton sea,
III Inc Imperial valley, one OF the
natural wonders Of the West, is con-
stantly shrinking. AT present 1t is
about IS miles long and nine miles
wide ut the greatest point. During the
last five years the water Is said to
have retreated about Il mile a year,
leaving q saI1-encrusted adobe land,
which is eagerly seized by homestead
ers. Often their location stakes are
planted far out in the water.
The sea, which lies 1863 feet below
the level Of the ocean, nbounds in null
let and carp, which local and Arizona
capitalists are planning to utilize ny
the creation of n great cannery.
The United States department of ag-
rlculture reports state that about the
Salton sea lies the largest area Of date
producing land in the country.
Biologists say the Salton "sink," as
1t once was known, in prehistoric
times has changed from desert to sea
and from sea to desert SO times or
more.
Becomes Inland Sea.
For centuries the Colorado river
would flow quietly to the Gulf Of Cali
fornia and gradually build up a sand
bar across it's mouth. Then some
spring flood would cause a washOut in

for centuries perhaps, until some
great flood would carve out a shorter
way to the ocean. The sea would be
drained and the region relapse into
a desert.
Mud volcanoes abound near the sea,
a short distance inland. They are of
all sizes up to great mounds 16 feet
in height. They all emit steam, some
In a steady stream, others steam and

out q sulphurous gas. At times their

once served as a landing place for
fishing boats, but which has been left
high and dry by the receding waters.
OF Interest to Tourists.
OF especial Interest to the tourists
are the bubbling "paintpots." AS the
water retreats it is in a state Of con-
slant ebullition. Gases from some I'M
known subterranean source are con-
tinually finding escape through unseen
vents in the bottom. Layer after
layer of colored pigment is deposited.
The r%etreating waters have left uncov-
cred acres Of this deposit, said by ex-
perts to be fully equal to the dry
sienna and lumber colors Of which SO
much Is imported.

the Salton sea will continue until it
finally becomes 4 salt 'sink" with q
