LT1I0LD LAW BREAKING - The Herald is in receipt, this week, of the Anti-Prohibition Manuel of the.publicity depart ment of the National Wholesale Liquor Dealors Association of America which is making a huge effort to'prove that the State of Ransas is not the dry state that it is said to be by the prohibi tionists. Kansas may not be as dry as it ought to be. We cannot say for we have not been there to see nor determine, but we can readily see that the anti-prohibitionists are not inclined to obey the laws of the land and don't want Kansas or any other state to bo dryer than the law breaking elements will let it. flamelm Heat It is reported that an English scientist and investigator has hit upon a manner of gas heat ing that may greatly change our methods of using fuel. When a mixture of gas and air under high pressure is directed against a red-hot fire-brick held a short distance away, the mixture will burn at the surface of the brick. Now, if suck a mixture of gas and air is forced through the porus brick, and lighted on the farther side, it will burn like au ordinary gus (lame; but if more air or less gas is used, it ceases to burn, but the porus surface becomes white hot. In this way it is possible, with great economy of fuel, to get a temperature far above the melting point of plat mum. This flameless heater has been used for heating boil era. It is claimed that it will do away with grates, smokestacks and chimneys, that it produces no smoke or objectionable odor, and that it utilizes 90 per cent of the heat value of the fuel. The World's Advance. river highway is far on the road to realization. A few days ago the completed section through the gorge of the river was opened to travel. In a few days the lower section between Portland and the sea will be olliciallv edicated and thrown open. To accomplish this approximately two million dollars have been expended but it is a good in vestment. Even in its un finished condition it is one of the greatest assets the State of Oregon has. It is worth all the trials and tribulations that have attended its construction, worth its burden of taxation. It will be worth the coming sacrifice to complete it from the northeastern corner of the state to the ocean. Following the construction of this great trunk road the next base of development is the building of branch lines to serve as feeders. Everv nrnd .initio- r section is to be linked by it with the open river. It will require some time to do this but in the light of what has already been accomplished the goal is not Jar away. Portland Journal. Our Butter Exports , rcnorzDlfcJorzD The Next Step A few years ago when Samue Hill came into Oregon from Washington preaching's high way on a five per cent grade along the Oregon shore of the Columbia river some people hav ing consideration for his feelings told him that he was a visionary and was too far ahead of his generation. The inconsiderate ones told him that he was crazy; that it could not be done. Like all prophets, major and minor, he did not ahandon his propaganda but kept on talkinc Columbia river highway as a necessary step in the develop tnent of the great Island Empire equal iu importance with the opening ol the river to naviga tion. At night he dreamed of it. Finally he succeeded in in ducing a few public spirited men to come forward to the mourn er's bench and get a glimpse of his vision. As a result the Columbia Reports from Australia state that the drouth, which wus the worst in the history of that country, has been broken by rains which prevailed there generally. It is winter in that country and all livestock is oi minimum rations. The dairy men find it most profitable to convert what milk they do get into cheese and sell to the army contractors. This in turn cre ates a market for butter and the American producers are ship ping butter to Australia, where it is required that a six per cent pound tariff be paid. It is re ported that a great deal of the butter that goes to Australia from this country ultimately lands in the trenches in Flan ders. Rural Spirit. Sporting With Death Thrilled by a double tragedy. were those who witnessed the automobile races at Des Moines. There were two smashups and two killings, staged most ad vantageously just in front of the cr6wded grand stand. Hardly any such hair-raising, gasp- evoking spectacle has been af forded since the sporting editors of ancient Rome used to run ,i . . inai ancient headline: "Butch ered to make a Roman holiday." 01 course, there is the gam bier's chance that tragedy may not occur at these auto races; and when it does occur there is for some, perhaps for many, the sickening horror. But there is no use playing the hypocrite; uo use indulging the false be ads that the probability of such shock furnishes the lure of the game, identical with that which Jrew the Roman populace to the gladiatorial slaughter and that which fires the gentle Castillian blood over the speo tacle of the bull fight. It may be that the conscience of the country will never be roused to interference with this sport of death; but we can hardly accept that conclusion as final It does not seem possible that Americau sentiment will nersist in liouizing the foolkiller to th constantly repeated exhibition ot ins deadly work in the pres ence of refined women and chil dren of tender years.
