A NEW MOTIVE POWER.
ThoJN'. lr. Times has a correspon
dence from .Philadelphia which at
length explains the claims of a new
motor that is to revolutionize the world,
as follows:
The mechanical anil scientific world
" has lieen greatly excited of lute by the
discovery of a new motive power by a
Mr. John W. Keely, of this city. The
lately-discovered motor U generated,
as the gentleman claims, from cold
water and air, and evolves into a vapor
more powenul man steam, tinu consid
erably more economical. It is proved
by this new invention to revolutionize
the world, and turn inachinery;topsy
turvy. Steam will be a thing ot the
past, and the wonderful power of this
new creation will supply all the needs
of man, for the uses to which steam is
now applied. Just what tills vapor is,
and how It Is made the discoverer re
fuses to mako plain or divulge his hid
den secret until he lias letters patent
taken out In all tno countries ol tno
globe which issue patent rights. This
service alono will cost about $30,000,
and will not be completed until three
or four mouths hence. Mr. Keelv is
very reticent on the subject of his dis
covery, and referred your correspond
ent to Ills attorney, Charles H. Collier,
Eq. The latter gentleman said that a
private view of the working of the
motor had been made on the 10th of
Xovemlwr, 1874, before a number of
capitalists, and that only three weeks
since another exhibition had been given
before a number ofgentlemen from the
New-England States. These latter
Mere so well pleased with the modus
operandi, and believed so firmly in the
ultimate supersedure of steam by the
new power, that they formed a stock
company, purchased the patent right
for the six New-England States, and
paid $80,000 cash immediately for their
share In tho Invention, and are ready
to forward 200,000 more as soon as call
ed unon. They will organize a com
pany with a capital of $3,000,000, and bo
ruuuy iu iiiuuuiuuiuiu me unguium ituu
necessary apparatus as soon as the prop
er patents are secured.
Mr. Keely alleges that the discovery
of tills power was purely accidental.
Up to within ti snort timo he was a poor
man, but, having a wonderful degree
of natural mechanical skill, ho devoted
all his time for the prst fourteen years,
to experiments with water with a view
of procuring a motivo power from it.
ire was engaged upon an idea of his
own regarding the force of columns of
water one day when he accidentally
discovered tho vapor which ho lias har
nessed. Ho studied tho subject, ascer
tained how it was generated, learned
its power, and thenceforth applied him
self solely to tho perfection of this idea,
working night and day for a number of
vears, until his efforts were crowned
with success. The apparatus by which
this power is iniulo is termed u "gene
rator" or "multiplicator," and the vu
jmr is then passed into a "receiver,"
and from tlior.ee to tho cylinder box of
iho engine, where it drives tho pistons
and sets tho cngino in motion. Tho
"generator" is about three feet high,
made of Austrian gun metal, in one
solid piece, and will hold about ten or
twelve gallons of water. It is four or
-Ave Inches thick, and made to stand
tho very heavy pressure of 20,000 to
30,000 pounds of vapor to tho square
inch.
Air. Keely claims that this apparatus
will generate cold vapor from water by
mechanical appliances, without the use
of chemicals. Tho water used Is common
river, spring, or well water, and. does not
undergo any previous preparation, a rub
ber hoso from an ordinary "hydrant to
tho generator being used as a means of
conveying the liquid. The pochnrity of
this vapor is that it can bo used to tho
best advantage at a pivssuro of from
120,000 to !!0,(H)0 pounds to the annate Inch.
To the mechanical mind this stems im
possible. Yet such is the clr.Im of Mr.
Keely, and It lies been attesf-jl that such
is tho fact by gentlemen who arc held to
lie mechanical export of tho highest
grade. Yet, with iuI this lnuncnso pres
sure at lilscoinmund. the Inventor Is en
abled to control, lts engine, ami rim Hi
with the sr.nio case and facility as en
gines are now run lv bteam. The parts
of tin, geuflYdtor and multiplicator are
all mudo of welded Iron, of great thick
ness and streimth. The connecting pipes
are nlio small and of great thickness,
and are oxidized and planished, so as to
prevent tho force of the vapor escaping
through the pores of the metal. Steam
lnuld not putts through tho connecting
pipes which aro used on this apparatus,
since tho bore Is only about the dimen
sion of a knitting-needle.
With this Immense power at hand one
would naturally fear an explosion most
disastrous tu its results. Hut such It is
claimed cannot be tho case, since when
the vapor comes in contact with the at
mosphere, It ceases to expand, nnd In
stuntlv uroes back to Its orlidnal state.
imineiv ulr and water, therefore, in this
reirurd It is less dangerous than either
runnowder or steam. The vapor is thin
ner than air, uud will not cut the metal
in escunlmr or nasslmr throuuh the tlnot
tie valve. Ft caunot be exploited or caused
to flame by the unnlleatton of heat to it.
A 1 1 ir h ted caudle has been held at the
mouth of a cock, and the force of tho ulr
did not even extinguish tho light, and
did not have any offensive odor iu fact,
none at all was perceptible. The rapid
ity with which this vapor can bo gener
ated is almost inappreciable. "In five
seconds," said Mr. Keely, " 1 can supply
22,000 pounds of vapor to the square inch,
and enough to run a train of ten cars
from Philadelphia to New York, ami
return." It seems almost instantaneous,
so short is tho time cousumed. The
vapor has a damp, cold feeling. There
is not the least nolso perceptible iu its
generation.
"Seeing will bo believing" in this
matter, and the sooner Mr. Keely makes
his first nubile exhibition of the inven
tion will the public at large and the
world in general come to regard tho
li" mo of Keely as they do that of Fulton
or Watts. Mr. Keely says that the first
public exhibition will be upon the Penn
sylvania Iluilroad, when he proposes to
take a train from th!s city to New-York
and return. He will have the "genera
tor" stationed at West Philadelphia fill
the "recolvei" which accompanies the
etiKlno and take yayor enough to draw
twenty cars to Now-York and back. The
passage of the train will be silent. There
will be no cinders, no escaping steam, or
dropping of coals to set lire to bridges.
The engine will be smaller than those
now in use, but will be ot greater horse
power. He says that the generator can
either be carried on the train or left at a
depot, according to the wishes of the en
gineer. It is small and' compact and
takes up very little room.
A LIE REFUTED.
Mr. Editor: I have never written a com
munication for your paper before, and am
sorry that I am forced to write this; and on
ly do so in defence of the truth and an In
sulted neighborhood, In your paperof June
18th, I find an article over the name of Ezra
Nebo (assumed) headed: "A Mysterious Af
fairA Young Lady Missing Strong Sus
picion of Foul Play."
I am a resident of the neighborhood from
whence this lying article was written. I was
with that lot of road workers referred to,
where the clothing mentioned was exhibited
whloh consisted of an old worn-out pair of
shoes (that looked as though they bad lain
out In the rain for six months and In the sun
shine for as many more;, an old pair of
stockings (badly worn)) also a pair of dirty
caff, with the name of a young lady written
on them with a pencil (forged, I presume).
There was no excitement then, neither was
there any cause for excitement upto the time
the Infamous article waa published and cir
culated; tor the young lady referred to waa
known to be at that time within two miles of
where we were At work,, at hove with her
frisnds, In perfect safety.
I nave now irivenvou the facts in the case.
and the onlv mvstorv is. who is Ezra NeboT'

H. S. Williams-.
Sao, Linn county, Jane 22, 1875.
Now.antEThen.
Jetukksgn, June 21st, 1823
Mr. EniTORi:In taking a view of the past,
the early settlement of this State, wbea the
early pioneers left their homes in thsEast
and crossed the Plains, penetrating through
a wild Indian, oouuiry, seeking a Iwme in
the tar week. Their mode of travelog was.
slow In thoao days. Railroads were unknown
theu west of' tho Mississippi. Thsy woi-9.
months with teams on their way to a coun
try that vuis wild! and remote to civilization.
They endured hardships and privations, of
lite; wilh bravo, hearts and detsrailnaUon
they pressed oa, to their Journey's end and
settled Oregon. Twenty-five years ago the
pasBo:-by Quits a few rude cabins;: tbeoeen
pints are plain and honest peoyte. Hepass
es ir,j there w no stove, but in yon fir-place
there burna a oheerful Ore. in yon corner
stands tho trusty rifle all ia plain within.
Tho lord of the cabin greets you; he Is plain
ly clad; he makes you wolcome to his hum
ble tare. Close bv is a Harden s he owns a
section of land; on yon ktill side feeds his
stock. It Is summer, all nature smiles; the
valley lies in its sleeping beauty; tho Wil
lamette goes undisturbed: on its way; the
shriek of the iron horse is not heard; silence
rolgned. Such was tho home of the Pioneer.
Let us pass on to the present. Steamers
plow the proud Willamette majostically; cit
ies have sprung up on either side; the shriek
of the iron horse is heard; here and there
stand sta'.olv mansions; orchards nnd large
Holds of grain close by. In these mansions
are peace and plenty, literature and arts of
the day. Such is the present home of the
Oregon? Pioneer. Proudly may they look
back and say I helped to lay the foundation
and build up this State. They soon shall
pass away; but long will live the moniory
otthol'ioucor, D. C.S.
A Mountain Journey.
Two weeks ago Mayor Wright, his uncle,
P. P. Watt, Capt. Miles Bell, and Hanck
Sterling made an expedition to the Little Fork
of the North Fork of the Santiam to look
utter quartz lutorests some of the party had
in that vicinity. They wore away 14 days
aud It raiued most of the time, so they were
unable to prospect to good advantage. Ono
feature or the exourslou was the climbing of
Mount Horeb, a bald mountain that over
looks the Willamette Valley, which lies like
a picture to the West, and as it stands In the
interior of the Cascade range It also affords a
uiagultlcent view to the Eastward where tho
Blue Mouutalus loom up in the dim distance.
Mr. Wright says the grandeur of this view
exceeds anything he over witnessed before
aud he would not have missed It for a great
deal. Almost at the summit of this great
mouutain elevation there la a beautiful
Mtirinir of oold water whose excellence equals
any description, un uie uiouuuuu amo iure
is a promise or wonderful harvest or black
berries and signs of deer, bear and elks and
grouse are very abundant, ui course me
trout fishing ia excellent also. It requires
aix miles of asoent to climb Mount Hxreb.
From Its summit they saw and counted all
the anowy peaks to the northward, aa far as
the ltrl'Uh Columbia line, and southward
the Three Slaters were apparently close at
hand, and Mount Jeffsrsou a near neighbor,
almost beside them. Such vision expands
the human mind aud educates the soultto an
appreciation or the beautiful and wonderful
in Nature.
The Oitaonian says quite a sensation waa
created In Court veMerday, by the announce
ment made by Judge Sbattuck that a juror
atld he had corrupt overtures made hlra by
a party to a suit. The matter was turned
over to the District Attorney to investigate.
FACTS ABOUT FRUIT DRYERS.
The Aldcn and Plnmmcr Process Compared.
Halem, June 20, 1875.
Mr. Editor: In the Issue of the Slate
:nan of May 4tb, tnere was a lengthy article
concerning fruit dryers, dated at MoMInn-
ville- and signed "S." A portleo of which
was borrowed Without credit from.one on the
same subject formerly published In the San
Francisco FOst.
Aa this article Is an attack on the Plnmmer
Fruit Dryer, of which I am the inventor, I
Improve the first opportunity offered by be
ing present in your State to answer the same.
lb-answer to the first question of that cor
respondent, "What is the Plummer DryerT"
I refer S. and the reader to the latter part of
ot my article. In his second question he
wants to know (what it must be tosucceed.
We state, first, that it will Succeed iti produc
ing as-good an article of ''dried frnifc in less
tinier and at less expense, with n-machine
costing not over one-half the first cost of the
Aldeu machines possessing the sane capaci
ty. "9. "asks "What it has accomplished?"
It has succeeded in drying as much fruit in
ten bowrs as three Aldel machines can do In
the same time; and out of fifty tons of squash
drleddn Plummer's tnaoblne, not Impounds
were-the least scorched -showing the finest
product ever produced 'by any dryer, and
we we willing to furnlshrsamplesof tho same
on application. We have put fons-of Hon
the market, and the opinion of all who have
tried lt is that it has no wjual. We. will say
here that samples of this-product ara-now on
exhibition at the office cf-the Aldeu Company
in San.lfranclsco, and SMclalmod.andexhlb
ited as their product. And we have abun
dant evidence that not one pound of1 this ar
ticle was ever made Soia the Aldan ma
chines on tnis coast. And further;. that it W
impossible for them to make It octhetx ma
chines., j We will Inquire what Is the Aldan aoa
jclilne?.' By letters patent No. 10036, Mareh,
'15;I873 Chas. Alden obtained a patent and.,
claimed an "arrangeEaent of a series or plat-forms-attacbed
to an endless chain,, to give
jtheua.a rising and faUinit motion in a trunk
'or.cbamber supplied .with current of kotor
cold air, from, air chambers on one or more
sides of the trunk, tho air chaaabers feeing
'provided with nosolesto throw. currents ol
air.over or between, the p)atformB,.supportej
on fipgers projecting from the endless chains ,
depositing the platforms automatically attb a
bottom of she trusli to be remeved'from th e
bottom of the trunk."
A re-Issue of the- same pa taut, .No. 4,01 0,
January 7th, 18T0,'to Alden, shows that.'ue
claims the same, arrangement af platforms In
iSitrunk or ohaaor one above the other, sup
plied with an artificial current of .hmteil or
ratified air, in ohambers at the sides of the
trunk, tbrougbinozzles upon, tho substances
! contained on the platforms held on the end
less chains by suitable doviaca- for that pur
pose, and alba.for depositing the platforms,
automatically at the bottora.of tho trunk.
By reference to the first two patents of Al
den, it seems he attached, platforms to end
less chains for depositing the platforms at ir.ft
bottom of a.trunk, then they must bo takon
out (where, thov are, as to says, automatical),
ly deposited) at the bottom.
In another re-tesue oS Aldan's patent, 3to.,
4,011, Janaary 7th, 187 be claims a process
of evaporating the moisture from vegetable
and auisoal substancs by exposing then, to
a comparatively low temperature, and mrir
fiedair of little foiee,and then advancing
theta gradually towards a higher tempera
tur and to ourreats of air of an increased
t'ejee and rarificsiion.
During this prlod of experiments by Mr.
Alden. he always took the fruit out at, the
I bottom of hie, trunk. But when ha takes, out
bis fourth ratent, No. 171,569, Deo. S, 18ft, he
claims the process of maturing and preserv
ing animal aud vegetable substances la part
through evaporation, and in part through
chemical binding of their organic moisture,
by exposing the same to a blast of heated and
humid air, increasing In humidity and de
creasing In heat, as evaporation proceeds, on
screens moving in a tunnel or tower, passing
the currents of air aud thescreens containing
the products in the tamo direction.
At this stage of the game Mr. Aldon sees
that all his former patents are wrong; that
they were all failures; that something else
was needed besidos the trunks and platforms
and he adopts a different construction and
tries to produce in the language of S. a "pro
duct differing in Its ohemlcal composition
from the ordinary dried fruit of commerce."
Alden evidently intended to mature and pre
serve animal aud vegetable snbstenoes, part
ly by evaporating them, and partly by bind
ing chemically the organic moisture. We
were not aware that aulmal substance could
be matured In the Alden machine unless S.
calls roasting, maturing. Mr. S. cites the
failure of various Fruit Dryers as examples
of what sometimes happens on the first in
vented maoblues. We suppose this part of
8'. communication refers to Alden'a first
three patents as well as Boynton's and others,
but we Inform him, and the readers of the
Statetman, that Plummers first Dryer is still
iu use,and U not a failure, but a great
auoouss.
What Is the difference between Plummers'
aad Alden'a Dryer T The Alden Dryer is an
upright trunk, or ohlmney, about three feet
square on the inside extending from the base
ment to up through a three story building
and through the roof. Ihe lrult is put in the
trunk at the second 'floor and taken ont at
the fourth floor. The coat or dryers $1,000
each. Cost or building $2,000; right to ue
them from $2,000 to $3,000. Making fact
ory with three machines coat about $9,000.

Church of this city has Just received new
hymn books in which the good old sours of
ion are set ti tha grand tunes that have
more soul iu them than all the, modern in
ventions. This is much appreciated, but ws
note another feature,': that these hymn books
have iu them also, au arrangement of tbe
ysalniH, to be read by the pasitoc with re
sponses by the congregation, which Mr.
'Knight is introducing as a now feature of
Congregational soxvice, in same, manner as
used iu tbe Episcopal service, aad with ex
cellent results, as the congregation rose to
their foot yesterday and Joiued iu the same
aslf always accustomed thereto. The psalms,
of David were originally written far this pur
pose and the new service Is a pleasant, inter
esting and most appropriate feature that
might well be introduced and maintained in
all churches.
Child in x Well. Djt, Psyton Informs
us that a little girl 0 years old, daughter of
Mr. Mauzey who lives out towards the Peni
tentiary, fell into tbo well yesterday and her
life was saved with difficulty. How long
she was in tbe well is not known, but she
was missed and found there. Her uncle
wont down and fished the child out of the
water 8 feet deep and Dr. Peyton was sent
for. Her life was saved, bnt sbe come to.
with difficulty and the wonder Is that the
resuscitation could be effected at all. We
learn further that tbe child went out to
pump water and a loose board slipped aad
let her down into the well, 14 feet to water. Af
ter awhile another child came in and reported
tbe well open, when tbe truth waa surmised.
Young Mauzey found the child at tbe bot
tom of the well, the water 8 feet deep.
We learn that old Dr. Pouade of Waoonda
la very low indeed, He is a very old man
and has been muoh respected.
