MAY BE INVALUABLE
Ingenious Device That May Add
to Human Comfort.
Frank L. Nichols of Washington, I. C ,
has invented a device by means of which
ne say ne can enectuany exclude rain,
dust coal smoke and cinders from pas
senger coaches. He says- further that it
will perfectly solve the Vexatious prob
lorn of car ventilation by scooping In
pure ozone from th outer atmosphere
through the coach windows.
The invention consists of a device with
a movable inclined blade, so adjusted at
to be reversible, and. applicable to th
movement of the car, either backward or
forward. It is fastened between' the win
dows of the car, and when the car is mov
ing forward, the Inclined blade serves to
collect the air approaching the . window
opening along the side of the car. ,
This air is discharged from the tear 01
the device through a contracted passage,
deflected outwardly at an angle to the
side of the car by a wing placed for that
purpose. As the passage Is narrower than
the apace between the forward end of thi
blade and the side of the car a consld
erabie pressurl is applied to the air cn
taring the space, serving to discbarge tho
air with considerable force.
. This air, being discharged from thi
passage, sets up an outwardly deflected
current, whlfh act upon any dust or cln
der-laden air approaching , the window
from the outside of th blade and deflectt
the same away, from the window, pre
venting its entering the car.
At the same time, an induced current 01
iuction is produce from the inside of th.
car through the window, tending to dis
charge the foul air contained within thi
car. If it is desired to reverse the dlrec
tion In which the car ( traveling the po
ition of the blade and wings can be re
versed by a simple mechanism.

The Records in the
John H. Hall Fee
Case.
, 1 ,
Charles W. Fulton Is persistently mak
ing the statemeaf, or "at least making It
by Innuendo, that George R. Chamber
lain, as Attorney-General of Oregon, was
responsible. In a large part for the pay
ment to John H. Hall ot $349, a com
pensation for the latter' services Jn eon?
pectlon with Multnomah County tax
suits.1 ' ---a. ....... , ,.-. . , ;
It Is apparently the desire of Mr, Ful
ion to reflect upon Mr. Chamberlain's ap
tlons in the premises, and to the end
that hi imujst Insinuations may be cor
reeled. The Journal has caused an ex-r
aminatlon to be made of the offiolal rec
ord at Salem.
The facts in the case are these:
, Mr, Chamberlain, a Attorney-General
ot Oregon, upon hi own Initiative,- Insti
tuted suits against four pr five counties
Of Oregon to recover back taxes, and, as
a matter of courtesy te the District At
torneys in the various counties, b sign
ed their name to the complaints, Tbe
pases war' prosecuted to a successful Is
sue. It waa the duty ot all the District
Attorney to appear In these cases and
to assist the Attorney-General In the
prosecution. In all cases, excepting that
pf John H, Hall, Deputy District Attor
ney of Multnomah County Under W. T.
Hume, the District Attorney and their
deputies asked tor no compensation.
Fulton in the Deal
,' Mr. Hall did ask for contpensation and
Secured It, the legislature appropriating
23348.15 In an appropriation bill approved
February 25, 1901, and for this approbrla
tlon Mr. Charles W. Fulton exerted the
full force of his influence.
. Cordial as were the relations between
Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Hall, Mr.
Chamberlain was not favorable to allow
ing Mr. Hall special compensation, be
lieving that It was the latter duty to
appear In the case as Deputy District
Attorney. Mr. Hall asked Mr. Chamber
lain for a letter certifying that Mr. Hall
had been employed by George W. Mc
Bride, Secretary of State, In the said
case. Mr. Chamberlain refused to give
him such a letter, but did give him one
which merely, stated that Mr. Hall had
been associated with him in the proaecu
tlon of tho case.
Oeorge W. McBride gave Mr. Hall a
letter, bated upon which the Legislature
appropriated, .the amount named. These.
letters are attached to the voucher drawn
by the Secretary of Stats for $3,348.45,
which voucher contained the following
notation, showing that the appropriation
Was based solely upon Secretary Mc-
Bride's letter and not upon Mr. Cham
berlatn's. The notation and two letter

SALEM, May W.--George E Chamber
lain assisted The Journal In securing the
records in the John H. Hall fee case.
He asked th Secretary of State's office
for the voucher and letters, and was
very much surprised to find tht the let
ters were not in the office. At least so he
was told when he staked to see them. His
request was something out of the ordi-
nary.and he very easily got thejmpression
that he was not wanted to have them. Af
ter 'some further effort he demandd the
letters. His demand was couched In some
effective language. He said he knew the
letters were on fit there, and they must
be produced. When confronted by this
Strong demand, the much-wanted letters
were readily found. Mr. Chamberlain
knew these two letters contained the
necessary matter to refute " the false
stories about the part John Hall took in
the tax case. This little episode tn the
Secretary office seemed tor wake up Mr.
Chamberlain, and when he met John H.
Hall at lunch in the hotel he was pretty
well equipped for an interview. It, wasn't -long

friends some reference .waa made 9 the
campaign and to some of the thing al
leged in the speeches. In th conversa
tion which followed, Mr. Chamberlain I
said to have asked Mr. Hall why he
(Hall) didn't go to Charley Fulton and
tell him to stop that story.
"You know you didn't have a single

Mr. Chamberlain. "You were present,
but never opened your mouth in th trial.
You can stop that toryK andyou know

SUCCESSFUL SLUICING.
Llnd & Manning, th contractor, are
again sluicing the ground from th' prop
erty of Qudley Evans, Commercial and
Russell streets, alter a temporary "hut-
down. The trouble with the rormer
sluicing was that the rain could not keep
the dirt from clogging up the upply
pipe. This has now been remedied by the
building of a large wooden box, 12H
which Is run down Into the gulch about
200 feet.
A new well Is being dug- and when It Is
completed there la no doubt that tha soil
will be easily and quickly removed.
Altogether the arm has a contraot to
remove about 60.000 feet of earth, 1,600 Of
which has already, been accomplished.
