Ji such , a hU?h rate of speed that
the object uppears only as a band
uf color hus been developed by
the department of agriculture as
an aid, In establishing standard
grades,! '
The hue assumed by the revolv
ing product i compared with ac
cepted colors for the various
crudes' by , which the commodity
is marketed, the specific lot in
Uestion being classified accord
ing to the color approximated by
the tost.
"The element of color," says
Mlns Dorothy Nickerson, color
technologist, "is an integral grad
ing factor In numerous standards
ostabliuhed for agricultural pro
ducts. Cotton,' for instance, is
sold according to grude and
staple.
"The grade factor consists of
three variables color, leaf and
trash, and preparation or ginning.
Hay Is graded on color, foreign
material a-nd condition.
"(7nlnr is nn imnnrtunt elpmont
tin grading fruits and vegetables;
is a part of the specifications
Jfi cotton-linters standards; it
piays a ptirx in gramns rice, noney,
meats, grains, breads, mayonnaise,
and innumerable other agricultural
commodities or the manufactured
products thereof, often with direct
correlation in protein content, di
astatic activity, or money value."
Since color Is an important
grading fuctor, Miss Nickerson
adds, it Is necessary that a meas
ure be made of color itself.
Standards thus may be kept
constant from year to year, the
real importance of color as a fac
tor of utility may be determined,
and the Intervals at which color
gradations are fixed In the stand
ards may bo specified according to
such determinations. k; ';

Senator Gerald P. Nye (center) of North Dakota, a republican, is the newly appointed head ol
the senate campaign funda Investigating cA mittee. The committee Is composed of Roscoe C. Patter

The seemingly difficult feat of
uniting two such unlike substances
as rubber and steel was recently
Biven a dramatic and convincing
test, A steel-and-rubber engine
mounting, consisting of a block
uf rubber bunded top and bottom
to two thin plates of steel, was
used to lift a Do Soto six com
pletely off the ground.
During the test there was not
the slightest sign of separation of
the rubber from the steel. In
fact, the engineers asserted that
the rubber mounting was strong
enough to. lift two cars, instead
of one, without giving way.
The test wuh made by R. K.
Lee of the Chrysler Motors labor
atories, which are under the dir-
f ection of Kred M. Zcder, vice pros
lident In charge of engineering of
tho Chrysler corporation, Carl
uroer, and (). M. Kkclton. whose
work in guiding tho engineering
ies of this groat organiza-
has made them famous. The
ber mounting tested was an
xact duplicate of those used to
cushion tho engines In De Soto
cars, the famous six and the new
straight eight. Complete insula
tion of the engine from the chas
sis is obtained, and the purr of
the motor Is more effectively
deadened than by any other
means.
The mounting has been most
ingeniously worked out. There is
absolutely no meta)-to-metal con
tact between the chassis and tho
rear of the engine. The steel
plate on one side of the rubber
Mock is bolted to the chassis and
the other plate to the motor.
There is nothing but live rubber,
free from compression, between.
Th Da Snin ntlrrKt lrht wnu
lifted two feet from the groumPi
m the tost, and remained sus
pended for five minutes. The rub
ber In tho mounting stretched
ahnut one-eighth of an Inch.
The secret of bonding rubber
to steel lies in coating the metal
With nn nllmr iU.x U.. nn offlnltv
f,r rubber. Then the block of
JJJ.ve rubber, placed between tho
is put unoer very nign
iMfssure ami subjected to a torn
ppiature sufficient to vulcanize it.
The vulcanizing frees the inher
ent resiliency and toughness of
the in-r unri with thn hiirh
Qp.QMjrc. forms the Inseparable
"oncl between the rubber and
uteri.
The. De; Soto engine Is literally
ushloned in rubber, and In such
' manner that the rubber is not
under compression. Older types
"f rubber mountings, which were
used in the more expensive cars,
'"ft much of their flexibility and
capacity to absorb vibration be
cause the rubber was compressed.
(3) A strand of this rubber one
'"urth inch in diameter would
support a man weighing one hyj
'lrHl and fifty pounds.

Old John of the Rogue River
(Continued from last Sunday)
On another occasion tho editor,
just as we were about to estab
lish a camp for the night, drove
his spurs into his mule to make
him jump a small stream , about
five feet wide. The mulish ani
mal, feeling his feelings hurt by
the touching spur, lifted up Ills
voice and vpt; limbered to tho
rear, and his outrider passed be
yond tho stream but not the
mule.
We returned from Fort Dalles
on tho 23d of September, and
Lieutenant Williamson having dis
pensed with the services of the
artillery and Infantry detachments
(as an escort) in the further pros
ecution of his survey, I began on
the 24th the return march by way
of Fort Lane. Crossing the sum
mit of the range in tho vicinity
of our camp, and passing in our
route a series of beautiful lakes,
with fir.e grass on their borders
and shut in by magnificent for
ests of pine, wo pursued (the
course of) a small stream, which
proved to be the main branch of
the Deschutes river; and diverging
from it after a few hours' travel,
reached the southern tributary of
tho same river, about ten miles
above our first permanent camp.
Here we came into tho emigrant
road leading into the Willamette
valley, and following up the south
ern branch of tho river to its
source, we crossed the summit of
the Cascade range, and on the
first of October struck the head
waters of the main fork of the
Willamette river. Our road led
for sixty miles through a dense
pine forest, with hor and thero
open spaces. In which we found
fine grazing fur our animals, and
crossed the river some thirty mites
from where it entered tho valley.
Between our depot camp and the
emigrant road, we found tho
ground thickly strewn with fallen
timber, and In many places very
boggy. Tho road, opened by the
emigration of 1X53, enters tho
Willamette valley and strikes the
principal California trail near Ku
gene city. Proceeding up tho val
ley we crossed the Calapooia
mountains, and halted at Win
chester on the South lTmptia
river to recruit our animals. Jloro1
the editor met his old friend and i
quondam cumrado of Pueblo, f
Alex., Captain La Fayette Muslim- j
since a member of the Jioard i
of Visitors to West Point, in 1SR4.
Hearing there of the outrages!
committed by the Indians in the
Rogue River valley, I proceeded j
at once, notwithstanding tho ex
hausted condition of my animals,!
and although many of my men
were quite foot-sore, by rupld 1
marches to Fort I.gne; and re-
ported on the 17th of October
to the commanding officer of the
post. The subsequent movements !
of tho command are already j
known to the commanding gen
eral, and It is therefore, unneces
sary to state them here. No re- ;
port of these operations, except- ;
Ing a field return of tho troops. '
was ever made by Captain A. J. t
Smith.
I am Informed that It Is in
coi4 nipl'ition to establish a new
(military) post in the vicinity of
Pit river; and after carefully ob
serving the country, I beg leave ,
to suggest two locations, which,
1 think, would answer the pur
pose of overawing the Indians liv
ing upon that river; whose reput
ed bad character and unfriendly
disposition has not been exagger
ated, Judging from tho bold and
impudent behavior of tho few who
visited our camps. The first loca- j
tion that I would recommend Is
to be found In theQ lcinlty of the
mouth of Canoe creek. There Is
an abundance of timber for build-
Ing purposes fine meads of grass,
and sufficient arable lands for
gardens. There is an elevated
plateau, bark from the river, ex
tensive enough to afford a good
and healthful site for the post
bove the malaria, if any thero bo, !
arising from (the river). Above
the junction a few mi, the
creek has a descent of two hun
dred and fifty feet in half a mile.
forming a succession of beautiful ,
cascades: and between them and
the river a good location for a
post can undoubtedly be found.
The distance to Fort Reading is
about eighty miles, and from the
point where the emigrant rn;nt,
leading under U'n's Hutte,
O
crosses Canoe creek, a good wagon
road can easily bo constructed.
The second point I would sug
gest. Is on the Oregon trail about
ten miles due north of the south
ern bend of Pit river. There is
a fine stream of water running i
through a pretty little valley, sur- i
rounded by a forest of excellent '
pine- timber, and affording fine '
grazing for animals. A post lo
cated here, would bo sufficiently
near Pit river to keep the Indians
thero in check, and has also the
advantage of being within reach
ing distance of the Indian ranch
erias on and near Uhctt lake. It
is about one hundred and seventy
five miles from Fort Reading by
(ouo traveled route; but thero is,
I no doubt, a much shorter one.
This. I am confident, would prove
to bo tho most healthful location
for a post in tho neighborhood of
Pit river.
Before closing this report, I
deem it my duty to mention the
fact that the escort was, at the
outset, provided with an insuffic
ient number of pack animals to
transport tlte necessary supplies
and outfit of the command; and
that. In consequence, it became
necessary on leaving Fort Reading
to pack the animals as . heavily
as three hundred pounds each;
and even then, although a portion
of tho command was still behind,
animals had to be sent back to
Fort Reading from Macombers'
Flats, to bring up stores left be- j
hind for want of transportation. !
It was not until tho command
had reached the Deschutes river
that our packs became, reduced to
an average of two hundred pounds
each fifty pounds moro than they
should have been at tho start.
Considering tho nature of the
country tn be traveled over, and
the Important objects of tho ex
pedition. As a consequence, much
delay was occasioned by necessary
stoppages to recuperate our ani
mals, while many have been ser
iously injured, and quite a num
ber have been, or eventually will
he, lost to the government. Our
progress was also greatly retarded
by the foot troops, many of whom
were at times. suffering from
chills and fever and diarrhoea;
and very frequently my rear guard
was compelled to encamp at night
with tho sick, without water and
a scarcity of provisions. Pack an
imals, already overtaxed, had
often to be sent back to bring the
sick Into camp, rarely reaching it
until long after nightfall. Owing
to the overweight of tho packs,
I was unable to provide even tho
sick with animals to ride, when
a long march became necessary.
I have tho honor to be, major,

Your obedt. servt.
