HERMISTON MAN INVENTS
WATER COOLING DEVICE
You wouldn’t think it to look
at him, but nevertheless T. W.
Sapper of Sappers’ Garage in
this city has lots of inventive
Lenius wrapped up in his slen
der frame. While he may never
reach the height of fame that
has characterized some of the
well known inventors of the past
century, we venture to say that
his name will be well known in
every Ford automobile owner’s
home ere long. This will be
brought about through the in
vention by him of a model of a
circulating and cooling pump for
attachment on Ford cars for
which patent has been applied
for at Washington, D. C.
This is a device, a model of
which he has on display at the
local garage, that many have
tried to invent, but failed. It is
intended to overcome the over-
heating of the Ford engine,
which has always been such a
source of annoyance, and con
sists of a centrificai pump that
takes the place of fan bracket
and is operated by the regular
Ford fan belt and pulley. The
cold water tank is located be
neath the back seat of a touring
car, and from it a tube leads to
the pump, thence into the side
of the cylinders at inlet connect
ion and from there to the over
flow pipe in the radiator, which
has a raised glass so that driver
can see that water is circulating
at all times. Water then passes
through overflow pipe back to
the tank, which acts as a con
denser.
With this new device it is
claimed by the inventor that the
engine can always be kept nor
mally cool, thereby giving it
capacity efficiency. The trial of
the model on a Ford car has
demonstrated the above, accord
ing to Mr. Sapper.

MONTANA RANCHER

PRINEVILLE WOMAN
DUYS 40 ACRES MORE
Mr. Lopp, who with his wife
arrived here from Fairfield, Mon
tana, something over a week ago,
has found an alfalfa ranch that
just suits him, which he leased
and is already occupying. It is
the Waterman place northeast of
town four miles, which contains
160 acres, with 100 acres in
alfalfa.
The lease runs for a year, but
Mrs. Waterman has given the
tenant first option to buy should
the ranch be put on the market
for sale any time within the next
twelve months.
INFLUENZA
VOTERS SHOULD ALL
GO TO POLLS TUESDAY
IN HERMISTON
The political campaign has been
quiet but it is hoped that the voters
will come out to the polls next Tues
day. The voters in the Hermiston
and Columbia precincts are especially
urged to make the effort to get out
and vote as the vote in other localities
may be light and a good strong ballot
here will have greater weight in con
trolling the results than usual. It will
help elect the candidates in which
the people are especially interested.
Two candidates are of special inter
est to the people of the west end of the
county. They are E. P. Dodd for the
legislature and G. L. Dunning of Stan
field for county commissioner. These
men are identified with the west end
and all its interests and it is every
voter’s personal interest to support
them. This is tbe first time that such
an opportunity has been allowed to
west end citizens and they should not
fail to go to the polls November 5th
and vote not only for these men but
also for their own interests and the
general interests of this part of the
county.
(Up-to-the-Times Magazins)
E P. Dodd, republican nominee for
representative from Umatilla county
is proving a very popular candidate.
Mr. Dodd has been a resident for 20
years of Umatilla county; he is a man
of much ability; he deals in and owns
land and raises alfalfa, cattle and
fruit. He is a community builder; for
12 years be has rendered marked ser
vice in the upbuilding of Hermiston.

“Conservation Sunday”
The new food saving program I
of the Food Administration ' was
ready for distribution to every
household
during the week
beginning October 28, to be
known as “Conservation Week,”
but because of the general
epidemic of influenza, a change
in time was deemed advisable.
Sunday, December 1, has now
been selected as “Conservation
Sunday” and the week following
will be ‘‘Conservation Week.”
The purpose is to bring home to
every man. woman and child in
the United States why it is neces
sary to save all foods, particular--
ly the staples, and to exercise $
every possible means for.Dror
