Can ada. England, 'France Germany and Australia. This invention has proied a source of considerable revenue, ' The cyclometer was quickly followed by the odometer, which answers a similar purpose, attached to buggies, horseless carriages, etc. He then construct'! what is known as a "hank clock." whkh is used in factories for counting and registering the number of yards woven by the loom to which it is attach: Another device which has proved . a marked success is a) printing press reg ister, which automatically records the number of copies of 2n edition and clan be adjusted to any press. He has but recently perfected a machine Tor mak ing pasteboard boxes. Among the numberless little appliances that have been iour.d to work successfully are automatic machine .counters and calcu lating machines Jor use in banks. But what he considers the most re markable of all his inventions so far is a miniature photograph, designed for the internal" mechanism of real talking- uou oaoies anu otiier toys, it has not been fully perfected, yet Mr. Biydtck says it will be before another hdl.:day season rolls around, and next Christ mas it is proposed that the little, girls who demand the lattst thing in doll babies will be supplied with dolls that can not only bat tlu-ir eyes, but sing a lullaby or speak a piece. It is hot merely a squeaking niachine.v but a regular phonograph of small type. iMr. Burdick is enthusiastic over Sa lem, her people, her climate, her op portunities and her prospects and w,! no doubt take the pleasure of spending other winters here. Hr says the refer ence hy Eastern people to the coast states as the "wild and . wooly AVeJ," is all nonsense and a distortion of ihe English language. "There is no wi!d and wooly' West." said Mr. Burdick yesterday afternoon. He says he has found Oregon people a more sociable and progressive people than arc those of some of he Colonial states. He says further that the social life in this community is exceptionally good and unsurpassed on the coast. Mr. ; Bt dick referred to the Illihee -Club. of this city. in most .complimentary terms, saying that it was quite as modern, convenient and up-to-date in -its ap pointments as any cl'ib he had visited west of . the Rocky Mountains.

THE IDAHO CASE. I' Washington. April 30. To Rreprc scntative Dick. General iMerriam stated that he did not disapprove of labor or ganisations, as they .jaccompli shed much gHd n their legitimate spheres. But he expressed the opinion that radical leadership in the Coeur d'Alenes had iliycrtcd, these: organizations from their beneficial spheres. P Representative Sulzcr cros-eiuestion-ied Geiwral Merriam, particularly on the extent of his authority in the Coeur d'Alene region. The witness said the state officers assumed the responsibil ity for. the general policy in force, and he was satisfied to let the responsibility rest there. ' Governor $teunenberg had frankly and generously taken upon himself the responsibility although General Merri am said he had not asked the Governor to assume the responsibility for any thing the military commander of the troops had done. JGeneral Merriam completed his testimony this afternoon. Sulzer sought to introduce two tele grams just received, one alleging, that Patrick I. Miirnhy was arrested in the Coeur d'Alche district last night for expressing ciriticisms on the course of the investigation, the other from Ed ward Hovce. nresident of the Western Federation of Miners, denying the statement of Governor Steunenberg as to Bye's connection with the tdowintr 110 of the Bunker Hill mill. Sulzer asked that Boyce and Murphy be subpoenaed. The matter went over. Captain Frank A.
