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.

BUILDING A NOVEL BOAT
Seattle Man Has Scheme to Reduce
Friction in Water.
SEATTLE, Wash., June 30. (Special.)
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.

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

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

DENOUNCE LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Dr. Foulkes Speaks Strongly on
Stainless Sunday Topic.
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.

Electric Storm In Idaho.
LBWISTON, Idaho., June 30. (Special)
As a result of one of the most severe
electrical storms that has visited the
prairie country in years, the residence
of Joe Sorrow at Grangevllle was set on
fire, and two citizens received severe
electrical shocks. 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.
