' . ) IT ADDS FOR THEM. &ong Column of Figures A Cur ous Machine It Is at the Court House. There is more than passing in terest over at the court house in an adding machine that has been sent by dealers to the sheriff and county treasurer for trial. The machine j does business on the principle of a typewriter, but does not loox lise one.' It does not, in fact look like any machine that has ever been seen. It might be taken for a mu sical instrument, a patent coffee mill or a new f angled' gas stove, it is more than twice as big as a type writer. The keyboard surmounts the super structure ; and' comprises more, than 100 keys, or two or three times as many as most typewriters have. One row of keys is figure lis, 2s and so ou up', to naughts. A dozen columns of figures can be added at one time,; providing the man who is operating the machine is no slouch. To do it right, he has to have a quick eve, be deft with his fingers and be able to give to his right hand, a double-breasted, back-action movement' as the keys are pressed down with the other hand. In attempting this complicated motion. Deputy Clerk 1 Robert Johnson so puckers nis mouth that most of the time a sound is emitted that is a cross be tween a whistle and a China rooster crow. There is some talk among the boys at the court house of buy ing the machine and a tent and of going on the road for people to see Bob work the adder. The price of the machine is $300. It adds first rate but there are prob lems that it won' t work out. John nie Wells, who operates the thing pretty well failed compietely to get the total of the contents of a by stander's pocket book, which ; con sisted of a 10-cent piece, a Billy iBroders check and a pant's button, j He couldn't add them on the ma ! chine and at last accounts was still i studying hard to discover the rea 'son why. One problem he may be j asked to work out on it is to figure :up how many volts . per square inch of brimstone they will turn on certain Times subscribers when they pass Over There. CORVALLIS BOY. Bloomington (Ind.) ,,; Evening World: The patrons who went expecting to be . entertained, weht away delighted with -."the pleasiqg two hours storm of laughter and tears. Elias Day is in a class by himself and has a marked individ uality. His , characterizations in "make up" were so cleverly and artistically done that the characters assumed seemed to be actually present. All in all, it was the most entertaining number on the course, A. Hodes, the enterprising gro cer, has put tn a stock of Vegeta gelatine. This gelatine is made from Irish Moss and not from horses' hoofs and other refuse ma terial from the slaughter, . house. Physicians have ' prescribed, it in cases of severe . stomach ' trouble with the very best of results,-; there fore it is highly nutricious and easy to digest. Those are two essential points in the f selection, of a whole some food. ; ' ;' ' -J , ::: '7 ' : , Grand Rapids (Mich.) Evening Press i-Elias Day delighted $ large audience by the clean cut character of his entertainment. He is unique and versatile, and these qualifica tions held' his audience from the first number to the pretty little clos ing benediction, -"Good. Inight, sleep sweet." His selections were sufficiently varied to suit, all tastes, but at no time did he descend from the highly artistic standard he has evidently fixed for himself. That Went Abroad Is Mayor now of Thriving Town. William R. son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Dilley of this city and a graduate of O. A. C. has been elected mayor of ; Little Falls, Washington. He is employed there in a lumbering business, on a salary of $160 a month. Recently he took the civil service . examina tion for a government appointment, ana shortly a terwara was given a life job in the navy yard 1 af Mare Island. He soon tired of the po sition, and resigned, going to Little Falls, Washington, to accept the lucrative position he now ,holds. The story of his election to the mayofalty of the town is told in the following dispatch from Little Falls, to the Portland Telegram:- i Complete returns from the Che- halis county-seat show, the senti-. ment of voters of this village of some 600 inhabitants to be in favor of incorporation, there being but a single dissenting vote cast in the election ot Jaouary 2. . : The entire ticket was elected as follows: W. R. Dilley, mayor; W. II. Weaver, Treasurer; Perry Olson, J. C. Cantwell, Ed 'Brons, R.
