We people of Bradford feel that
"Capt." Clark belongs to us and that
he is one of our great gifts to the
nations service In years to come,
the glory of his name and the lustre
of his fame will still be the priced
heritage of future citizens of this, his
native town.
To Vermonters there is more to the
career of Admiral Clark than the
famous trip of the Oregon but it is
this spectacular feat which stays
longest with the nation. The New
York Times reviews that perilous
trip at this time in the following
editorial:

NOW AND FORTY YEARS AGO.

In 1882, at the birthplace Of cen
trail station operation, 1,204 lncandes-
cent lamps were connected with the
Pearl Street (New York City, gene
rators. In corresponding units, the
present installation of the New York
Edison Company exceeds 21,50O,OOO.
In 1882 the customer paid lie for
16 c. p lamp hour. Now he obtains
nearly $50 candlepower hours for the
same price. Today one pound Of coal
burned in the central station develops
in the lamp 25 times as much illum-
nation as in the days of the old
Pearl Street,
In 1882 there was one electric
light and power company in the
United States, serving 1-6 square mi lie
of territory. In 1922 there are near
lv $500 operating companies, serving
approximately $4,000 communities.
In 1882 central station service was
launched with SO customers. Today
there are in the nation nearly ten
and one-half million consumers OF
electrical energy, of whom eight and
a half million live in wired houses.
In 1882 the only commercial central
station IN the HdulOn suPPiyii .
general underground house-to-house
service had a total generating capa-
city of about 600 X. w. In 1921 the
total generating capacity of the cen,
trail station plants of the United
States was 14,500,000 k. W. and the
output was 100000 k. W. hr.
This remarkable growth in the
electric light and power industry has
not attained by far its full stature
in a nation ever ready to absorb
more and more electrical energy. 1t
is merely a vanishing mark to be
superseded tomorrow by new and in
creased service, so that its benefits
NAV become not merely widespread
but universal and that every man,
woman, and child in the United
States may share in the comforts and
convenience of electrical develop

FIRST AUTO GENERATOR IDEA
CAME FROM TRAIN.

The first generators made for sup
plving electric current to the storage
batteries on automobiles were adapta-
tions from the generators used at
that time on Pullman cars, when
we're belted to an axle on one Of the
trucks and supplied current to the
car lighting batteries. They sug-
gested the line of development for
satisfactory battery to keep the auto
mobile storage battery charged by
use of power from the cars own en-
CINE. g..
The first generators produced for
automobile battery charging were
made to attach to various places on
the frame of the car, and were driven
either by friction drive wheel, silent
chain or V-shaped belt
One of the earliest problems in con-
nection with automobile lighting
work was the need of some form OF
regulator to hold the generator to
some definite charging rate through
all the speeds at which the car might
be driven. This was necessary tt
avoid the dangers Of undercharglne
and overcharging while running al
slow or high speeds respectively The
common third brush type of regula
ton was the result of the work o.
well-known engineers and has beer
used successfully ever since.

%ONCE THE PUBLIC KNOWS THE
TRUTH III WILL DEAL FAIRLY
WITH THE ELECTRIC STREET
RAILWAY"

President Todd of the American
Electric Railway Association in his
annual address at the Convention OF
this Association just held in Chic ago
said:
mo industry is doing more prob
ably to bring the business OF the
country back to a pre-war basis imam
the electric street railway industry.
Electric railways with receipts IN
creasing and investors again buying
their securities will spend S2O0,O00,-
600 for equipment and supplies this
year. twice the average ennual ex-
penditure for the last 20 years.
Seventy-five million more persons Will
ride electric cars this year than last:
During the first six months Oh
1922 a total of LOIS passenger cars
of all types were ordered by the cleo
trio railways of the country. Ihls Is
122 more than were brought through
out last year.

1922 show an average rate on rare OIL

ing practically stationary because Oh
the general underst anding that the
industry is using its increased tare
returns literally, as shown by figures
previously given for car purchases
equipment and supplies, to improve
service which suffered so greatly dur
ing the war.
Increased efficiency of operation
;s refected clearly in operating ex-
penses which have been cut down
S1O,441 ,036 or 7.29o and car miles 81
379, 729 or O.8&6. AS a result OF these
decreased expenses the operating
ratio has dropped 3.6 points, IRON
rs 6 to 1900, and net revenues have
increased $5,526,365 or 1882. The
use of one-man cars, automatic SUB
stations, and labor saving devices
and the abandonment of unprohtabit
and unused trackage are responsible
for these figures. Material and lapol
costs also have been reduced some
what during the year, materials nov
being about 500 higher than the.

How He OutsaiIed the Brooklyn at 'he
Rattle of Santiago Bay.

To the Editor of the New YORK Illhes'
Your editorial on "Clark of the Ore
gon" interested me greatly. perhaps
may be able to afford light on the point
why Clark, in the Oregon, was ready
with full steam on that vessel at the
battle of Santiago Bay while the other
vessels of Admiral SIMPSONS fleet were
not.
IT was my good fortune to enjoy a
rather intimate acquaintance with Al
miral Schley in Washington ana TO meet
him in South America in 1900 and 19ol
when he commanded on the South Al
lantic station. At dinner given the
Admiral and his staff by the Americans
in Buenos Aires in the Spring OF l9ol
he was importuned to tell the tale OF
the battde of Santiago Bay. He hnaly
consented, and I recall not only the
.tiy,idness of the narrative but the skill
with which Schley avoided any reler-
ence to his controversy with Sampson
AS he finished his narrative, SchleY
was asked why the Oregon, an lS-khot
| battleship, was enabled to outruh the
BROOKLYN a 22-knot cruiser, IN the
! chase of the Oquendo, which was the
climax of the days events. Admiral
| Schlev said that the question OF fuei
sunply was a serious one at Santiago
and Admiral Sampson in view of a
threatened shortage issued an order di-
recting the commanders of all the YES
sells of the fleet not only to draw tine
fires in half the boilers of their SHIPS
but to disconnect those boilers from the
| engines All the vessels of the meet
obeved this order except Captain clark
of the Oregon. He ordered his nres
banked but did not draw them from
any of the boilers nor disconnect MS
engines The oregon was able for TINS
reason, said Schley. to get up fires uh-
der all boilers quickly and to outrun the
Brooklyn. which was some four houfS
getting UP full steam again.
Schley had a great admiration FOL
Clark. and told me Clark informed hin
that when he sailed from Rio az
Janeiro to join SIMPSONS fleet at san
tiago Bay he hoped to meet Cervera
feet. I asked him if the oregon alone
, could have beaten Cervera. "Of course
it could" was the reply.

Where the Sparrow Justified Himself.

News dispatches inform us that the
English sparrow invaded Alaska this
spring for the first time" Arriving in
America about 1850, it has been grad
ually working westward ever since"
driving out most other small birds as
it goes. 1t has already spread over
nearly the whole of Europe, and in
spite of everything seems likely to
make a place for itself all the way
round the world.
Because of it's fecundity, its inabil'
ity to live peaceably with other BIRDS
and the depredations it has been ac-
cused of making on brick chimneys
and buildings, some people-even bird
loyers-have greatly deplored lts
coming to this country. .
But II can be a useful bird, as IL
proved to South Carolina farmers IN
1917. writes a correspondent of Penn
sylyania Grit. In the spring of that
year the army worms started an inva'
sion of our fields, devouring everything
as they went. The farmers were IN
despair, when they saw how bare the
worms were leaving the earth. Then
the English sparrows swarming In the
fields in greater and greater numbers
daily. began to devour the worms with
a voracity truly gratifying. The mum.

deyour In a day was incredible, farm.

finally exterminated, before they nae
injured the crops irreparabiy, had nc
III effects on the sparrows. They ate
worms so long as there were any, deao

A welcome to Captain Clark.

When Rev. A Hough got on the
cars at Bradford, as one of the com
mittee from White River Junction to
accompany Captain Clark of the Ore
gon to the reception held there, a
friend of the captain suggested that
the poet-preacher write song for
the occasion. On the spur OF the
moment the following welcome was
written in pencil on a scrap of paper,
and recited amid great applause at
the gathering here:
Omitted Opinion. May 5, 1S99o
With speech and song and hearts elate
We welcome back to his native State
The man who whipped the Spanish DON
Our Captain Clark of the oregon.
Brave sons have gone out from our hills
With tender hearts and iron Wills
But none more true have come or gone
Than Charles e. Clark of the oregon.
That sail of fifteen thousand miles
Through stormy seas. past lonely isles
Was wrought by Yankee brains ana
Drawn,
With Captain Clark and the oregon.
If he one had CHANGED to meet
On the high seas the Spanish fleet
One gallant flag had hailed the GAVIN
CIark's flying Ger the oregon.
For later. when Cervera tried
To make escape. his hopes all died.
His heetest ship to doom was drawn
BY Clark on board the oregon.
The old Green Mountain State today
| Gfeets her brave son the good old way
Her brightest sunshine down she
filings,
Her sweetest songs she gladly sings
| Gives cheer on cheer that flies and Nils
With echoes all her woods and mus;
And puts her robes of beauty on
For CAPTAIN Clark of the Oegon.

THREE BILLIONS PUT IN POCKETS
OF PEOPLE BY ADMINISTRA-
TI0N.

When the Republican administra-
ton came in, Liberty bonds were
worth only IS cents on the dollar
They are now above par. This in
crease in their value amounts to
three billion dollars. Every man,
woman or child who owns one Liberty
bond finds that bond is worth at least
SIS more to him now than it was
under the Democratic administra--
ton. -,
Into the pockets of the people will
come three billion dollars-repre-
sented by the increase in the value
of their bonds. This is three billion
dollars they will now receive, which
they would not have received were
it not for wise Republican statesman
ship which provided the proper con-
ditions for business prosperity.
The Republican administration has
not only revised the tax laws, and cut
expenditures to reduce taxes, thus
saving the people one billion dollars,
putting three billion dollars into
their pockets.
Thus is the Harding administr alton
making good on it's slogan, More
business in government
The many farm boys who enroll as
club members in the production OF
live stock and crops become success

DAMAGE TO FRUIT is LIGHT.

There has been more or less anxiety
this week on account of rain and
lower temperature and the possibility
of frost. Monday night was clear
and cold, the coldest of the week, but
Tuesday night was cloudy and with a
heavy wind. Since then there has
been a moderation of the tempera-
ture and it is thought the danger is
past.
The weather bureau at Boise has
reports from all sections and the
Boise valley had quite the worst Of
it, with some peaches and apricots de-
stroyed, but the damage to the apples
and prunes is slight. Fortunately
for the Emmett and Payette sections
they did not have as cold a Monday
night as in the Boise valley, and as
they depend on the peach crop they
are naturally happy over the warmer
weather. In the Boise valley but
Few OF the peaches and apricots are
grown. and that they are nipped in
the spring seems to be quite the usual
occurrence
While arricots and peaches are in
full bloom, prunes and apples are
late. and many of the buds are still
amply protected by the foliage Some
of the earlier varieties of apples are
in bloom and these were slightly
damaged.
