M AY TYPE OK SUBMARINE.
Thru the invention wf a n« w typ.*,.
one-man submarine, the first full
sized and fully-equipped craft of;
which was completed a few years
ago, Milton J. Truinble. president of
a refining company of Los Angeles,,
who perfected an oil refining process,
that brought him a fortune expects,
to revolutionize warfare at sea to such
an extent that the power of the pres
ent dreadnaughl will be greatly min
imized.
While the strictest secrecy has heen
maintained regarding the building of
tlie new underwater vessel, it was
'earned that the craft recently was
launched at Naples, and that, so far,!
ii ronies^up to all the hopes of its
builder.
The principal feature of the craft i
Is that it is distinctly a one-man boat, i
It is so constructed that there is not
aii inch of unnecessary space. Tlie;
operator of the craft easily may con
trol every desired movement of the
submarine.
The rraft. while capable of being I
submerged by displacement, ordinal
iy is submerged by means of a three
blade propeller connected with its
keel.
In ilie event of an accident, crip
pling the motive power of the craft,
tin automatic arrangements sends the
boat to the surface of the sea. thereby
giving its operator a chance to es
cape.
Always the vessel is submerged ex
cept for its conning tower the upper
portion of which is only 12 Inches
above tlie surface of the water.
h'>|iiipped with an especially design
ed 1 in-horse power motor the subma
rine. it is said, is capable or a speed

meal's ollice of markets and rural or
ganizations, touching a matter of pop
alar discussion. "1 don’t know where
the prices are going." says Mr. Brand,
"and I don't see how some people get
along. But 1 think it would he more
profitable if most people would do
less talking about the high cost of liv

AX HONEST OBITUARY.
Frank Waller la .dead. He was c
unique character. An honest com
ment Is difficult to make In a news
paper. We do not want to say an un
kind thing about him. Ho put noth
ing Into this world and got nothing
out of It. His hoarded wealth brought
him an early grave, and he could take
none of It with him. He was honest
as he saw honesty, obeyed the laws
of the land when It cost him nothing,
neighbored with no one, trusted no
one, got all he could, aud kept all he
got. His uppermost philosophy of life
was a false one—that is, that a man
with money In his pocket must of ne
cessity have friends and happiness.
He contracted no debts, gave nothing
to charity or public enterprise, knew
nothing about the high cost of living
for the bought nothing he could do
without, traveled none, read little,
never spent a cent foolishly, never In
vested or gambled. Many a lad of 10
has seen more of life worth living
than he. He belonged to no societies,
fraternal or religious. He enjoyed
making good deals in buying and sell
ing. He was sober, industrious, in
dependent, made his own living and
helped no one, and was a stickler for
the last pound of flesh allowed by
law. He has passed to a reward if
there is a reward for such as he.—
Marquette Tribune.
RADIUM IS EXPENSIVE.
One-sixth of the world’s output of
radium is made within seven miles of
Philadelphia in a factory at I.arn
downe, which is one of six plants of
its kind in the world. It has a capa
city of producing three grams of ra
dium a year. The process by which
the metal is made was discovered by
l)r. I). H. Kabakjiin, assistant pro
fessor of physics in the University of
Pennsylvania and a resident of I.ans
downe
Some idea of the delicacy of the se
cret chemical process which the carn
otfte ore undergoes can be gleaned
from the output of the factory. Hun
dreds of tons of carnotite are used
during the course of u vear. Twenty
five men working nine hours a day
lor a year will produce three grams
of pure radium salt. The market
price of pure radium is $100,000 a
gram at this time, and the I.ansdowne
factory's yearly output is worth over
$300,000.
IF OIJR friends over in the railroad j
town of Anchorage would trace up]
John Frame’s labor record they would ;
probably he somewhat chary of ac
cording him any union votes. At the
time Mr. Frame was running a paper
in Juneau he tried, at the instance of
I he mine owners, to destroy the union
just organised at that place. No in
vective was too mean for them; no
efforts at the behest of the mine own
ers too harsh to apply to the newly
formed union. He failed to disrupt
the Union and lost out. He then mi
grated to Cordova where he pursued
the same .tactics while in control of
the Guggenheim publication at that
place. When the Guggenheims fired
him from their employ he started a
little sheet called "Truth.” which was
primarily intended to disseminate
anything hut the truth. After his re
pudiation by the capitalists he be
came an ardent labor advocate in the
ory, hut not in practice. With an in
satiable lust for office John has veered
with the wind of public opinion un
til he has worn out the spindle on
] which he was hung. No more vigor
ous "union buster" has ever struck
the Territory than the editor of the
Forty-Ninth Star, and an examination i
of his record at Juneau will convince
any union man of the fact.
CHEER UP! This time next week
it will all be over but the shouting.
DON'T let your interest in the elec- j
lion keep you from examining your
Hue before the winter winds set in.
JUDGING from recent reports from

ABRAHAM LINCOLN ANO
PARTNER KEPT SALOON
Not only was a license granted to
Lincoln and Berry to sell Intoxicants,
but the Great Emancipator made the I
follow statement, which applies to
the methods of the modern Anti-Sa
loon League: "The preacher, it is!
i.ald, advocates temperance because
he is a fanatic and desires a Union
of the Church and State; the Lawyer |
from his pride and vanity of hearing
himself speak, and the Hired Agent ,
for his salary."
Abe Lincoln, were he to return to j
earth, as hts first act would without
! doubt rebuke and repdiate the meth-,
ods and personnel of the Anti-Saloon ;
League, which pretends from time to i
,time to receive inspiration from the,
: sayings and speeches of this great
! man.
The spectacularly, the hate, the do- i
nunclation, the bitterness, the invec
tive and the underhand methods that
characterize the, Anti-Saloon League,
campaigns in behalf of Prohibition
are the very things that Lincoln de
plored and publicly spoke against.
Lincoln, In his love of his fellow;
man, was a temperance advocate, but
he believed in being charitable in an ^
effort to decrease intemperance, he
believed in converting the individual
by appealing to his character and in
a manner to win his confidence. By
the same token he was opposed to
driving an individual, to denouncing;
him, to cursing him and abusing him, |
always contending that "a drop i '
honey catches more flics than a gal- j
Ion of gall.’’ '
In the spring of the year, finding
their merchandise gaining them little
or nothing, they concluded to keep
tavern in addition to their other busi
ness and the records of the company
according to Sangamon County, show
that Berry took out a license for that
purpose on the 6th of March, 188It.’"
-—(From Nicolay & Hay, Vol. 1,
Chapter 4, Abraham Lincoln.)
A copy of the original license is on i
file in Sangamon county, Illinois, and !
presents evidence which cannot be |
disputed.
Springfield, 111., March 6, 1833.
"Ordered that VVm. Berry in the |
name of Berry & Lincoln, have license j
to keep a tavern in New Salem to con-1
tinue 12 months from this date and
that they pay one dollar in addition
to six dollars heretofore paid as per
Treasury receipt and that they lie
allowed • * • • * who gave bond as
required by law."
Thus it may be seen that Lincoln
was a saloon or tavern keeper and
dispensed intoxicating liquors for the
profit to be gained therefrom. Does
anyone think the less of Lincoln for
his business? No. He was one of
the greatest men of the century.
But he was against prohibition.
