Useful and Easily Made Machine For the Farm Workshop. The farm workabup aeldom baa ninny tools, and iecliilly the more expensive one are naturally mlaalog, for the coat of a drill press or lathe I entirely out of proportion to the amount of work fur whlcb they would tie needed on a farm. One farmer solved the problem of drilling bole by making a device, almost entirely of wood, whlcb would eerr to drill any bole that may be required on farm ma chinery. The Illustration clenrly show It couatructluu. Tbe preaaur of the foot II mill rat or wood. i on tho stirrup will tnnke the drill take bold ultlclently, but If not the wedge may be (truck wltb a hammer. A moll rope provided to hold up tbe wedge when they are not In nae. The ipludle aud chuck la made of a piece of tough wood, the smaller diam eter being one and three quarter Incbe and the larger or chuck end two and three quarter Inches. Tula allows a hnlf Inch flange, whlcb must be well lubricated when using the drill. A quarter lucb bole I bored for the ahnnk of the bit; then a alot about three-quarter of an Inch In depth Is cut on cither aide of the hole. I'lecea of a broken die are Inserted In the hIoIh and a metal ferrule shrunk on the outside of tho wood, ns shown In A. The hole lu the chuck la either mi u a ml or left round to lit the drill that mny be on hand. An Emergency Routtr. Sometimes a curpeuter ou a repair Job runs Into work where he could use a router to advantage. Should he have mine In hla tool box a router la easily devised by taking tbe plnue bit out of a aniall wood plane nud using a nnrrow chisel Instead Het the chisel edge to the right depth and tighten the wedge Just a when ad justing u bit, anil the router Is ready for the work. It takes only a few minutes to make the change, and this emergency tool will do lietter work than could be accomplished by cut ting tho wood out with u vhlncl and mullet. Covering a Stovtpips Hoi. The stovepipe hole In a chimney can lie easily covered when the stove la re moved for the summer by using an as bestos stove mat lu the following manner: Tho metal ring on the nint Is removed nnd the nsbestos cut to tit the hole. Pimte the asbestos on n aiionre of muslin and allow both to dry under a weight. Place the asbes tos In the chimney hole nnd paste the muslin tu the wall. Cast wall paper over this. When It Is necessary to open the hole cut iirouud the circle nnd remove the asbestos. Annual Cost of Panama Canal.. According to the estimates of. Pro fessor Emory C. Johnson before the senate committee on Interocennlc canals, the total nnmiul cost of the I'tinanm canal will be $:S1,W0.0(X. Of this total Ill.ri00.000 will represent In. terest on the money invested In con struction. Sl3.tHKMHaj will lie Jhe cost for the defense of the canal, and $-l.."00,000 will represent the cost of re pairs mid operation. As against this lie floes; not expect the revenue from tolls to exceed $1,000,000 for the Brst year. Country Lacks Tin Deposits.

By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington. Nor. 18. - Hiedal. Thuee person wltb pencil and paper who are showing bow Tnft would hare won If be had awcured the Itooaevelt vote and who are blaming Itooaevelt for Itepubllcnn defeat, also those who are pointing out that Wilson la a "uil uortty president" because be bud only a plurality of the popular vote, should tuke a few minute to consider another phase of the recvot election. KupHMe Itooaevelt had not been run ulug and the race bad been between Tnft and Wllaon, Isn't It more than likely, lu view of the prevailing coudl Ions during the campaign, that Wilson would have received a large portlou of the vote that went to Itixmevelt and Hint a large proportion of the reuinlu der would have stayed .way from the ' W must remember thnt those who ' voted for itooaevelt were more biteuae ly opposed to Tart than they were to Wilson. Tbe Insurgent or progressive wing of the Republican party was bit terly hostile to Tart from the begin ning of the campaign. It Waa a Domooratio Yaar. Considering tbe conditions from every point or view It might aa well be acknowledged that It wa a Demo cratic year. There are many Progree Ive who believe that bad Roosevelt been nominated at Chicago by tbe Re publicans be Would have been elected. Uo might have saved a great many congressional seats) and several sena tors, but It is doubtful IT be could bare defeated Wilson. It should be remembered that tbe factions or the Republican party rep resented at Chicago bad two diverse and distinct purHises. The men be hind Tnft intended to defeat Roose velt at all bainrds even If a Democrat should be elected. The men Jiehlud Roosevelt were no less determined to dt-reat Tart The split In the Repub lican ranks wa complete. The Democrat felt assured of vic tory loug before the conventions.

It seema hardly worth Baying, but in view of the discussion It may be worth while to any Hint Champ Clark will continue to serve as sienker of the houao. Even If the siienkershlp had not been shorn of Its power and thnt power transferred to tbe chairman of the ways and menus committee Clark would probably be re-elected. As It now stands there Is not much mora than tiie honor ami the Increased sal ary to attract men to tho speaker's liulr. It is no longer tbe second no- sltlon of power In tbe government Pslmsr and tho Cabinst While cabinet makers are busy they had better not overlook A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania. Had. Penn sylvania gone Democratic his selection would have been assured, but even If Roosevelt did carry the state the work which Palmer bas done In the cam paign, his clean record, his rapid rise to prominence in politics aud, more than all else, the Important part he played In bringing about the nomina tion of Wilson at Baltimore, ought to mnlte him a member of tho new cabi net. "Shot to Pieces." Only three members of the Repub lican minority on both appropriations nnd ways nnd menus were left out of the wreck of the lute election, Glllett of Massachusetts, Good of Iowa and Mondcll of Wyoming on appropriations and Payne of New York, Fordney of Michigan nnd Necdbnm of California on wnys and means. These commit tees seem to have been "shot to pieces." Wilsons In Evidono. This Is a Wilson year. Governor Wilson is elected president "Tama" Jim Wilson is rounding out a service ns cnbluet officer of sixteen years, a record which has never been equaled and Is not likely to be In the future. Ambassador Wilson la an Important figure In the Mexican affair. Then there wns the defeat of Congressman Wilson of Pennsylvania, who became o prominent ns a Inuor lender In the house. And a snd thing was the death of former Senator Wilson of Washing ton.' A Total Loss. Every Republican member of the house Judiciary committee was defeat ed, either in the primaries or at the election. Whoever Is the minority lender will have lots of room for law yers In the Republican party who de sire to serve on that committee. It Is quite probable that the Democrats will Increase their membership on nil the committees owing to the large majority they will have in tbe bouse after the 4th of March, IRON OF THE AfiCIENTS. Polar In India Ha Stood Rustless For Conturies. On the pluhia of I'elhl. In India, there stands a maiMlve Iron pillar, nearly sixty feet In length and weigh ing about nineteen loua. This ancient column la literally a monument to th "antiquated" proceaaee and Dietiillur glsla that produced It. for It has re sisted the attack of tbe element dur ing a period of about 2.1)00 years.

It couslsts of a split and hinged steel cylinder, which may be slipped over the bnnd wheel of tho stop valve and locked In place by means of a .pad lock. Tbe key Is given to the man who enters the boiler, and as long as tho cylinder la on tho stop valve It Is Impossible for any one to turn on the steam. Seasoning Wood by Electrioity. The following Item from a British technical prper concerns a new pro cess of Reasoning wood by electricity In France: A large tank Is filled with a solution containing 10 per cent of borax and 5 per cent of resin, with Just a trace of carbonate of soda. In the bottom of the tank is a lend plate which ts elec trically connected to the positive pole of tho dynamo. The timber to be trented is stacked on this plate, and when the tank has been filled another plate is superimposed nnd connected to the negative pole of the dynamo. When the current Is switched on it passes through the atnek of wood be tween the two plntes, nnd In Its pas sage It Is said to drive out the sap In the timber and deposit borax and resin, in its place, completely filling up all pores and Interstices. When the proc ess 1r completed the timber is re moved and dried, after which it is ready for use. It is claimed thnt the timber submitted to this treatment, no matter how green It may be, becomes completely seasoned. Gaaolin Tool Car For Railways. The Chicago and Rock Island rail road Is using a gasoline car to convey men and tools to any point where re pairs or construction work are needed. The car not only transports tools and men, but supplies the necessary power for operating electric tools. A thirty horsepower four cylinder four cycle gasoline engine drives a generator which supplies power for operating ilectric tools. These tools are two I'octric spike screwing machines, six electric drills, one electric saw for rails and portable emery wheels. The ear can carry eight to ten men and any reasonable equipment of tools. Liquid Slag From Producers. At the experiment station of the United Stntcs bureau of mines. Pitts burg. Pa., trial runs have been mnde with a gas producer using coke as fuel, with which limestone has been mixed In varying proportions, the pur pose being to dux the nsh and form a liquid sing, thus avoiding clinker and ash troubles and consequent shut downs. , ,TW TO PORTLAND THENCE 0 TO THE WM"' A' REACHED via ttWU LAND OF PALMS A PLEASURE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ASK ANY AGENT OF THE TO HELP OUTLINE YOUR 1 7 ,,rV ? r-- kJ ImX, v PIGS Registered Durcc Jerseys.
