But then those editorials made inter esting reading and the officers who were particularly concerned in last week'a issue are awaiting with much interest the second installment of tbe ante-election ierial which they hope the Courier may find ample space to continue weekly without omisHion until the time of elec tion next June.

TRAVELLED 130 MILES Ptlt HOUR (Jraplc Account or the Ilerliu-Zossen Record Ruti. The attainment of ,tbe speed of 130 miles au hour on the'high-speed e ectric road from Berlin to ZosHen, which has been duly chronicled in these columus, has probably canned many of our readers 10 wonder j.ist how t! men In the cab felt when they saw poleH and trees flying pant. It happens that Dr. Heichel, one of the engineers who was in the car at the time 1; made its hisiorical run, imli litdied in a Berlin weekly a very good ac count of the experience of thone who conducted the experiment!'. We trans late the more Htrikinu portions: "All prepaiations have been made; a brake tent has been carried out: the eie gineers have climbed Into the car; and the military posts along the road have been inhumed that the car is soon to start. The molorman turns the con troller very slow ly through afew degrees. Fourteen thousand volts choot from the lines lo the mo'ors. With a whirr the cur fctarts on us memorable journey from Mnrieufelde at twenty-five minutes after nine o'clock. The overhead wires are swaying in a strong wind. As the car travels on, Ihe strength of the electrical cuirent fed to each ol the four motors is gradually increased to 00O anioeres. In other words, 2,:!D0 kilowatts, or 2,600 mechanical horse power, are being ex pended. A mile and a quarter has been covered. The speed indicator shows a velocity of seventy-live miles an hour. When Lichtenrade is reached, aloiit half a mile further on, the car is rushing on at i)4 miles an hour. Each second the speed increases. Just before the station of Mahlow appears, a curve of 0,560 feet radius looms up. The speed is now 109 miles an hour. We gneiu to be leaping toward the cuive. No bend can be seen ; the track apparently ends abruptly. We know there is a curve, and yet we are anxious; we brace ourselves lor a shock. Just as we reach the curve the track seems to bend into a gentle arc into which the cur runs easily. "The curve is passed. About a mile ahead of us a safely signal can be seen. We climb a grade of 20 feet to the mile Blight, to tie sure, and yet to ascend it at full speed we must expend .'iOO horse power more. The train is living on faster and (aster. We rush through M 11I1 low (4 miles from MarieuMde) at a speed of 115 miles an hour. No vibra tion or shock is felt. It seems as if the c.ir itself were not movim: as if build ings, poles, trees, were llickerint past. Only the huimnini: of the wheels assures us that it is we who are moving. The voltmeter shows that the current collec tors are doinu their work smoothly. No fMr of increasing the speed need be felt. The hist resistances of the controller are uradually cut out under the loud of 2,"tH) kilowatts. The linger of the sceed in dicator slips along tn a mark which shows that the car is making 121 miles an hour. At every crossing a loud ring inif note can he heard, caused by the wheels. ''Fragments of ballast as large as wal nuts are sucked up into the air and fall buck s the train rushes mi. At tirt' the 1 -. J is hew ll'lermi!, allfi'iM stupely i mg. We in tlie can are mucii nearer !h trm k tli:in it Ihe engineer of a Htesm loeninoiive u that account it seems at first s if the cur is lilerally devouring the road by the mile, (iradiully we be come Kcctitdoiiied to the new sensation. The feeling of safety and comfort which overcomes the first shock ol amazement gives rise to the desire fo travel still later. After the 120 'oile an hour mark linn been iasei, the excitement in tli 1 car becomes intense Not a word is rpoken. Only the flirk .of the wheels over Ihe rails is heiru. Kvery eye that is not fssieiied on the speed indicator is glued on tbe trai k. Suddenly, at a dist ance, ol about half a mile, we see two men unconcernedly standing in the mid dle of the road calmly awainrig the car. The niotorman jumps for the whistle string. As tbe danger signal shrieks, tbe two men on the track turn about I with a frightened look, and then flee for their lives. No power on earth can stop this OIJ ton car withm a mile. "We whizz past the town ot Dahlwitz Dust, sand, and large pebbles leap up behind us. We just catch a glimpse of people on the station throwing up their hatsinioy. Suddenly a smashing blow is heard against the window of the cab, as if a man brought bis fist heavily down uiio stable. It was a bird, overtaken in its flight and killed. The 8ieed indi cator finger climbs up past the 124-mlle mark. Kangsdorl is only 1 unlet a way (8.6 miles from Marienfeld). It is soon time lo shut off the current. Unless the 4,000 horsepower engine at the power Ma'ion at Uhernpree does not help us, we shall not reach the speed for which we are all hoping. The engineers at the power house have not forgotten us. The finger of the speed indicator, as we near Itangsdorf, move just a little further. And so we cover the last mile which we still have before catting off power, at top notch speed, using up 1,400 kilowatts, or 1,600 horse power. A quarter of a mile before reaching the curve near Kangsdorl, we shut off tbe current and apply the full power of the brakes. Tbe speed of the car drops to 102 miles. Ths curve is rounded id a noble swing. The brake is released, and the car glides along under its own momentum without any current whatever until Zossen is reached. In eight minutes we ,have leaped from Manenfelde to Zossen. We crowd around the telegraph instruments which have recorded a speed never be fore attained in the annals of railroading. The telegrapher can hardly attend to his instruments, so many beads are pressing about liiin. Finally he succeeds in read ing off the record 130.4 miles an hour. Everyone smiles; hands are shaken, congratulations exchanged. An officer rushes off to tbe telegraph station to an nounce 10 His Majesty tbe Kaiser the feat which German engineers have suc ceeded in performing. "The front end of the car is covered with flies, bees, and small insects. crushed as if by a thumb against tbe iron aDd glass." Scientific American. SOME OF TALKXI Atf ructions iicJnij Signed for Next Year's Chautauqua. Riclmril lYars'iii Unburn, of Mar.il Fame, Will I rubahly he Here. Ilute uf .MeellDg. II. K. Cross, maiisger of the Pacific Coast Chautauqua Assemblies, returned home last Monday night alter a trip to San F'rancisco on business connected with the work of the Chautauqua Assem blies of the coast, says the Telegram cor respondent. He reports that the work of the managers of the various Pacific associations was most successful and that everything points to well-attended assemblies this Summer, as the best of talent has been chosen. It is practically a certainty that the ltev. Newell Dwight llilhs, pastor of Plymouth church, at Brooklyn, successor of Henry Ward Beecher, and who is probably the best known preacher of the country today, will be a feature of the assembles of tbe coast. Richmond Pearson Hobson will also come to the coast during the coming Chautauqua season, and will lecture at the Gladstone assembly 011 subjects con nected with the navy. Stanley L. Krehbs, a mindreader and adept in sim ilar lines of entertainment, has been se cured, as has also Lou J. Beaucbamp, known as "Tbe Laughing Philosopher." Messrs. Krebbs and iieaucbamp come to the coast with the very best recom mendations. Not all the talent lor tbe coming session at Gladstone Park has yet been determined, bat more will be known about it as soon as tbe directors of the local association have a meeting, which will be in the course of a few days. The dates for the assembly at Gladstone have been fixed from July 12 to 24, inclusive. Mr. Cross says be saw nj evidence of hard times or financial depression in California. Business seemed to be good, crops excellent, and the people appeared to be prosperous. He states that the oil yield in California during tbe coming year is estimated to exceed that of any other state, it bein-r thought that tbe yield of the Golden State will equal 23, 000,000 barrels. Heretofoie Ohio has led the other states, producing 18,000,000 barrels last year. He found many big buildings being erected in San Francisco, but states that in Los Angeles there ex isted a building boom, there having been erected during tbe past year 7000 buildings. RESORT FOR YOCJiG MES. Oregon City T. M. C. A. Has Again Opened 1U Doors. The Young .Men's Christian Associa tion of Oregon City opened its doors this week fcr the-winter's work and will offer a place of rest, recreation, and self-improvement for the young men of (bis city. For some time past there has been an urgent demand for a free read ing room and place where the men could have opportunity to pass ttie evenings w ithout being compelled to enter the sa loons or other questionable resorts. The lines of work to be carried on will be as follows: A public reading room, where a goodlv number of the latest magazines and newspapers will be kept on tile; also a number of standard books by popular authors, books of reference, etc. All men are welcome to this room from e ght o'clock in the morning until ten o'clock In the evening. A game room for members, which will be supplied with ping pong, chess, check ers, crockinole, chrolard, etc. The gymnasium in which systematic exercise, with or without the apparatus, basket ball, indoor baseball, games and contests, will be of much interest and improvement to the members who par ticipate. Already a number of patients have been sent to the association for work in this departmeut by physicians of this city. Baths are free to members and may be taken at any time after noon . Last year this department was used very ex tensively and the outlook seems to indi cate a greater patronage this winter. Educational work will be an important factor also, and classes will be formed im mediately after the holidays in b ok keep ing, shorthand, typewriting, arithmetic, and probably in vocal music. Last year over sixty enrollments were entered. All work except the music is carried on in the same methods that are used in the business colleges and any student may go as fast or as slow as his ability and' opportunity may determine. Entertainments of various sorts will be a part of the program, but only those of real value and worthy of patronage will be offered to the public. The religious work 01 the association has not been fully outlined, but it is Known that bible classes will be organ ized and made a specialty. Other lines will be taken up as they may be consid ered advisable. All are welcome to the rooms and vis itors will be shown through the building and have the work explained to them with the utmost couttesv. , Bodily pain loses its terror if you've a bottle of Dr. Thomas' Electric Oil in the bouse.

Editob Entcbpkisb : la your last week's issue you publish an article on the Milwaukie election and the policy of the two parties, in which tbe statement is made that I. S. Mullan, the nominee for mayor on the Independent ticket, was in favor ot having electric lights, city water and sidewalks, even though we bad to throw city in debt to accom plish same. Now, 1 want it distinctly understood that I have at no time made any such statement, or is it the polii y of our sup porters. My policy would be to mage all improvements by a petition signed by a majority of the taxpayers of the town, and if such a policy is used there will be harmony. The Independent ticket was nominated and supported by the taxpayers of the town, uf which there are les than 50 le gal voters, while the so-called citizens ticTiet was supported by the employes of the 0. W. P. R. Co. To make their ticket win Mr. Boyton, the assistant su perintendent, and Dimick, the dispatch er, were in town all day and marked sample ballots for their men, and escort ed each and every man to the polls. There being about 45 car men who voted it was an easy matter for the citizens ticket, or O. W. P. Ry. ticket, whichever it was, to have a majority. Personally, I do not wish to make a kick against the administration and hope they will try tbis time to do something to show the taxpayers that they have come to life. Mayor Schindler may be proud of that cash balance of $50 received lately b the hard rustling of Marshal Keck in collecting poll tax. Wbilethere was over $300 collected, there were only two appropriations made both for f20 each or 40 in all. Tbe balance has been used as funds for incorporation and other incidentals. Respectfully yours, I. C. MULLAS. Milwaukie, Or., Dec. 13, 1903. THE OLD RELIABLE !tiirlliiig i:vilcii-e.
