THE GASLESS CAR is 1T HERE?

Some weeks ago We read quite a
story of an Iowa man who had invent
ed and was using "A chemical for his
truck which permitted him to have
ample power without the use Of gaSo-
line or other explosive substitutes,
and we paid little attention to the
story, but here comes the second re-
port, very similar to the first, except
that it Is not so lengthy, but refers to
the same man and the same inven-
ton. We sincerely hope that it is
true, and that the inventor may find
ample reward for his diligence in re-
search. But it will be a little stough
on a lot Of the Sunday schools that
JaWn ID. has been giving a part Of the
money he has taken from the people,
if some one shall kill the sale Of gaso-
line as a motor power. Here Is the
story from the Advocate of Rockwell
City, Iowa:
A. j. Hunter, Of Rockwell City, who
recently was checking county officers
at Webster City, witnessed several
demonstrations Of the automobile en-
CINE which A. &. Bundy, Of Webster
| City operates without the use of gaSo-
line. The engine works on a new fuel
created from air 10y a secret process
invented 10y Mr.. Bundy.
Mr. IInntnr nlthnnnh Cnponxvhaf
skeptical, says that the engine runs
on air, as claimed 10y the inventor,
and that it appears that Bundy has
struck a gold mine. The inventor is
not back ward in demonstrating the
device, except that he does not tell
what chemicals are used to create the
hydrogen gas which operates the en-
CINE.
Bundy recently made a trip to Des
Moines. Iowa, In his car. He says
that he used about ID cents worth of
the chemical TO drive the eighty miles
from Webster City to Des Moines.
In addition to patenting the process
to develop the gas, Bundy has also
patented a rotary engine which does
it's best work with hydrogen gas. The
engine has less parts than ordinary
gas engines and, it is claimed, will de
velop a high horse power.
A company has been formed to f.
IAN and develop Bundy's discovery.

Singing in political campaigns is
nauSeating. If man deserves the
mud that SWats him he is not the
kind OF nan we should honor with

man he should not be subjected to
vituperation and abuse. 1t requires
long years Of correct living to build

it as an act Of political eXpediency is
about the limit to which an opponent

STARVING OUT THE COUNTRY
NEWSPAPERS.

A representative Of several thous.
and country newspapers, says: I'm
my opinion not half the country press
numbering 1900 weekly papers and
800 daily papers, will survive the next
six months unless there is a drastic
change in the situation"
The situation is certainly serious.
1t results from the unprecedented
shortage of print paper, of which five
pounds are needed for every four
pounds now being produced. Large
numbers Of newspapers have been
driven out Of business already by this
shortage-some LOO of them in the
past year. Many have succumbed to
the high cost of the paper, which
costs several hundred per cent more
than it did three years ago. Many
have been starved to death by their
inability to obtain paper at any price
The present system Of distribution
makes 1t far harder for the small, re-
mote papers to get their supply than
for the big city papers, and they are
obliged to pay a niger price for it.
Yet there are people who critic the
small paper for raising their rates.
Efforts are being made to increase
the paper supply, and some improve
ment is reported, but it is very slight
so far. 1t is said that any new meas
ures taken to ease the situation car
not show results for nearly two years.
Before that time the death toll Of
country newspapers may be tragic.
There may be supercillious readers
inclined to smile at this term tragic"
but such IL is, not only to the pub
fishers Immediately involved, but to
the public they serve. 1t is lament
able that the American press as a
whole, the freest, most representative
and useful press in the world, should
be crippled In this way at a time
when its services are needed more
than ever before. 1t is particularly
unfortunate that the small city and
rural papers should bear the brunt of
the calamity, for as a class they are
near to the people and cannot be
spared.-Rockford Star. Editorial by
Roscoe S. Chapman of the Inland
Print Committee.

STEAMER ADMIRAL EVANS
 ARRIVES FROM WESTWARD
 AND SAILS FOR THE SOUTH

Steamer Admiral Evans arrived in port at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon and sailed south at o'clock for Seat tie. The Admiral Evans westbound called at many ports including An cho.age. Little ice was encountered at the Forelands according to Capt. Jensen.
 Passengers arriving or the Admir- al Evans were J. w. Storfold, C. Bol- stad and two steerage.
 Passengers sailing south from Sew ard were Mrs. Florence Neligan, R. Me'sberg and E. L. Whittemore for Seattle; C. R. O'NeiI, Sam Hackman, J. Cavele and one stceragc for La Touche and two steerage for Valdez.

 F. l.. Whittemore, who left last night for Seattle on the Admiral EV- ans, was named by the Seward Cham hor of Commerce, to be the local re- presentative at the hearing in Seattle which begins on May 7th and will last for about one week. John Noon IS drafting a letter to be sent to Mir. Whittemore which will set him right on scores of reasons why development in Alaska has been given the Cleopa- tra poison and the antidote for this poison.
 The discussion of the committee hear ing in Seattle and the naming of E, L. Whittmore as the local representa- tive was the result of a cable received yesterday by Secretary Ellsworth from Col. Alfred H. Brooks, who has been named by Secretary Payne to help Alaska. Col. Brooks asked that the Chamber name some representa- tive, with suggestions, to meet the committeeman in Seattle.

 It was pointed out that the com mittee is to devise a scheme for the development of this section of Alaska consider many charges, etc, and then make a report.
