Records Held by HlmselfSiebel Versus Wallace. Portland autoists will have another chance to tee Barney Oldfleld. holder of the world's automobile records for all distances on a circular track from one mile to 60. July 3, the "speed king" will LOCAL DRIVERS WHO WILL PARTICIPATE IN '4 t. ; s . -v LwilTsflh Clifford Miners. drive his green dragon around Irvington track, and will endeavor to break the record for 50 miles, which stands at 48:40 and the day before the Fourth,. Barney Will try to put his powerful ma chine around the track In less time. Walllam D. Wallace, the local man who broke the world's records for the 25 and 10-mile drives in fully equipped touring cars will enter his famous Pope Hartford, and will . go after a lower record in the mile drive. Howard M. Covey will enter a 20-horsepower Cadillac, Fred A. Bennett will put In his six cylinder Ford, and R. D. Inman will enter his' TO-horsepower Thomas racing car. Wallace will be at the wheel of the Inman machine. The race will be under the auspices of the Portland Auto Club, being held at the request of the Fourth of July com mittee. A programme of seven events has been arranged, and it Is' said that the coming races will be better than the last meet. There Is talk of Oldfleld putting his big Peerless touring oar In the Endurance derby. This big Peerless machine has 60 horsepower engines, the same as In the Green Dragon. The last meet was a success In every sense of the word. The Auto Club, which was handling the meet, made a neat sum of money off the gate receipts, the track was in good condition, and all the races fine. Nobody went away disappointed. and many said that if there was another meet, they would be sure to attend. 1 ne only thing that marred the meet was the breakdown of the Red Devil Sunday afternoon. Selbel has repaired the defect, and now has the machine In perfect con dition. He declares that he will beat Wallace easily this time, and that he is not the least bit afraid of the outcome. It Is the intention of the management to try to break all records from one to 60 miles for fully equipped touring cars and. to make It an inducement to secure the entry of every big car In the City of Portland, cash prizes of sufficient amount to make it worth while, are being put up. One hundred dollars in gold has been subscribed for first In the endurance derby, and as several well-known sports men have stated a willingness to add to the purse, it is expected that $30 to $75 will be posted as a second prize and from 35 to $50 will be given for the third priie. with tlS for the fourth. Selbel Is working on a car at the Cook Motor Car Company to enter in this stock car event. Wallace is tuning his Pope Hartford for the 60-mile race and hopes to lower the mark .of one hour, three minutes and 39 seconds, which is the record for that distance. "I will not." said the local driver, "state that I will win the ,race. but I think that ' I will be one of a few who will lower the record, if I do not meet with an accident on the track. The amount of money which is to be won is sufficient to secure the entry of very big car in town, of which, over Ave are already entered. The exact amount of the prizes for the 10 miles will be announced in a few days, as donations ere Just coming In, though the $100 In gold for first man is already In the hands of the committee. Great Interest, of course, centers In the sweepstakes event In which Oldfleld will drive. It is the hope of many that he may . lower his present world's record of 52 1-5 for the mile made at the Irvington track a week ago Saturday, and a special purse has been hung up to Induce an effort from the champion.

John McArdle, a Seattle mechanic. Is building a unique water craft that will be launched within a month for its first test. He has partially completed a boat which when completed will have Its hull about 2'i feet out of water. The body of the boat will rest upon two spirals, on each side, each 5H feet In diameter. The spirals are expected to furnish the motive power, and, being constructed of water-tight compartments, are expected to have buoyancy enough to keep the hull up out of the water. McArdle Is equip ping his unique boat with turbine en gines. He claims that by eliminating the friction in the water he can make better time than other boats on the Sound. Milwaukle Country Club.

Claim Made That Although Initial Expense Is Greater, the Cost of Operation More Than Compen sates, According to Tests. PITTSBURG, Pa., June 30. That the cost of production of steel may be re duced a few cents a ton, millions of dol lars are to be spent In new machinery at the plants of the United States Steel Corporation, and almost 100 engines are to be relegated practically to the scrap heap. This step will probably take two or three years to complete, but It is as sured by the experiments that have been carried on at the Edgar Thompson plant of the corporation at Braddock, where AUTO RACES JULY 3 r Fred A. Bennett. the experlenmts have been along the lines of abolishing coal In favor of gas as fuel and using the gas that blows from the. blast furnaces. The experiments at the Edgar Thomp son plant. It Is said, has determined the policy of the steel corporation for all their works, and gas engines will be Im mediately Installed as fast as they can be built at all the plants. At Gary, Ind., where a new plant is being built, 20 or more of the new engines will be Installed to furnish power and to "blow" the fur naces. These engines are said to cost about $150,000, and the cost for engine's alone-at this plant will be about $3,000,000. Besides this outlay there will be a great expenditure for the vast system of mon ster pipes for carrying the as from the blast furnaces and for Its purification before it can be used In the engines. The two engines used In the experi ments at the Edgar Thompson plant, which represent an Investment of $300, 000. are employed in the "blowing" of a single 500-ton furnace. Rivted-steel pipe 100 Inches in diameter, of which this system is built. Is a large factor in the expense. A complicated arrangement for cleaning the gas also adds to the great outlay necessary for these improvements. When this new method la completed, gas will be the only fuel used. This will do away with the 10,000 to 20,000 tons of coal that Is now used each month for this pur pose, in addition to what gas is now used. No coal will be needed, for the gas from the furnaces, refined In the washers which are part of the huge pipe age Bystem and exploded In the ayllnders of enormous engines, will blow the fur- - - r J Pull off : (3 Quick-witted people QUIT A To to health and comfort.

Dr. William Hiram Foulkes, of the First Presbyterian Church, chose " to speak upon the anti-saloon question un der the title, "Wrestling Against the World Rulers of This Darkness." He Bald In part: "The saloon traffic is organized and law-defying. Its interests are not the Interests of public morals, as It is a con stant source of evil. The traffic I can not call "It a business Is organized, not for the purpose of benefit to the con sumer, but solely for the benefit of the dealer's pocket." Some time ago the brewers of Kansas City, Mo., bought property In Kansas for the purpose of forcing the Issue In that pro hibition state. The 8upreme Court has now taken notice of the fact that they are defying the constitution; the property in Kansas having been bought for this very purpose, and a receiver has now been ap pointed to take It over for the state. The position taken Is that the property is 'be ing ned to defeat the laws of the country. Gambling and prostitution are but tne sisters of the liquor traffic. They all go hand In hand, and doubtless always will. The more saloons we have the more the kindred vices will flourish, defeating the very aim and object of government. The final showdown In our country against vice will be between tha organised liquor trafflo and the organized church. The Jlght Is on now, and It Is only a question of time until the saloon will have to go. Dr. Foulkes here read a strong argu ment against the liquor trafflo in the shape of a communication from a doctor In one of the insane asylums or isew York, in which it was shown that no benefits accrue to the consumer of the product of the still. "The only thing that can be said in favor of the traffic," continued Dr. Foulkes. "is that it elds-tracks us vic tims from the journey of life, so that Cover HABIT when found to be detrimental FOR HOT DAYS Reason Today and Tomorrow Dress for and Misses they do not have the opportunity of tak ing part in the race. They soon make room for others." ' Rev. E. S. Muckley. of the First Chris tian Church, answered the question, "Can an Illegal Business Be Legalized?"

LBWISTON, Idaho., June 30.

A fire alarm was turned In In time to save the dwelling, and the effect of the shocks to the two men was not severe. One of the men, County Treasurer Frank Rice,' was sit ting in his office at the Couthouse at the time, and it is thought that the light ning was attracted Into the room by the stove. The storm was accompanied by a heavy rain, and appears to be general all over the prairie country. The reports received, however, show no damage done to the crops. Eagles Have Big Time.
