So Says P.-l. Writing About Cash- !
man’s Combination Passen
ger and Freight Auto.
I
I'lie following article is taken
from the Seattle Post-liitclligen- j
cer of May 25th:
E. P. Cashman, of Valdez, Alas
ka, has placed an order for an
automobile with the Winton Mo
tor Car company, and the man
ner in which this order was sent
to the local branch of that com
pany spanks loudly for the envi
able reputation built up by Man
ager George W. Miller and his
staff fW fair dealing and making
good all contracts.
About Iwo months ago Mr.
Cashman wrote to the Seattle
branch of the Winton company,
asking for advice as to the kind
of an automobile he should use
in transporting freight and pas
sengers in and around Valdez, and
a special set of plans were drawn
and sent to this gentleman, which
so much pleased him that he tele
graphed his order for the ma
chine, asking delivery at t he soon
est possible time.
The ear is to he a Winton six
cylinder, with a special paneled
body made with drop tail board
and. detachable seats, so that it
can be used for either freight or
passengers. It has a top and
windshield and will be one of the
strongest and most handsome au
tomobiles made in tin; local
branch factory.
| The very fact that, without see
ing or trying out this machine,
Mr. Cashman has seen (it to send
his ;money and an order to the
company, indicates the reliability
of the manufacturer and the local
management.
The interest shown by the1 lo
cal branch in the welfare of the
prospective buyer has been pro
ductive of this order, without
doubt. Mr. Miller, well known
along automobile row, consider
ed it necessary to instruct Mr.
Cashman in the use of an auto
mobile ami I lie care of the en
gine, and has written three very
complete lelteVs, staling just bow
to get the best service out of the
machine, after it. was delivered.
Mr. Cushman's name lias been
placed on the permanent owners’
list of the company, and from
lime to lime lie will receive liter
ature I hat will instruct him and
make the care of his machine easy
and pleasant. l.’p to this lime lie
had Never had any experience
with an automobile.
".Alaska and British Columbia
have been for some time,” says
Mr. Miller, "a very good field for
the flexible and sturdy automo
bile made by the Winton company,
and more machines of this make
are being used in Alaska espec
ially Ilian any other make. In
British Columbia there are a
great number of Wiltons in the
harde'st kind of service, on stage
and freight lines, and they are
giving the best service imagin
able.
’ “Mr. Cashman is well known
in Valdez, and writes that he has
iiot one doubt but. that, he will
be able to place many other or
ders for Winlons among his
piany friends in that city.”
. % A New Steel Process.
London.—The Daily Mail says
that great interest has been
aroused in Sheffield in a method
of producing superior high-speed
steel by the introduction of co
balt. The process has been pat
ented throughout the world by a
continental firm, but there are in
dications that at Sheffield, the
center of the English high-speed
steel industry, the manufacturers
will, tight for the privilege of
making the new steel without
having to pay royalties under a
foreign patent. —
The new material, it is said,
marks a great advance on the
best qualities of steel a| present
obtainable for boring and cut
ting tools.
The Daily Mail recalls the fact
that a '‘few years ago, when the
discovery of high-speed steel
caused a revolution in steel makr
ing, American inventors sought a
monopoly by means of patents.
The case was taken to the courts,
and the Americans lost it.

WINE AND OTHER DELICACIES
Washington, I). 0., June l().,_
Almost everybody has to spend
hard-earned rash to taste rare
wines and other delieaeies, bill
the govermnenl pays 150 men
from $2,000 to $5,000 a year each j
to try them to their heart’s eon
lent. j
It is all par| of the govern- :
ment’s efforts to protect the con-I
sinning public/roni I lie frauds of j
scheming manufacturers.
These government tasters, as
I hey are called, go from cily to
oily, tasting champagne and beer
and trying cosily cheeses and
oilier high-priced 'foodstuffs^!hal j
are subject to interstate com
merce, or sit in the extensive
laboratories of the bureau of
chemistry, where these things are
served to them.
Mill 111 e tn thi'm is imt nl<mi
a sweet dream. There are things,
such as red pepper and the like,
that are far from pleasant In
munch on.
T. C. Mitchell, an assistant
chemist, and one of the “taslcrs”
who. lias just completed an inves
tigation into red pepper, . uses
milk to rid his mouth of the burn.
“Of course, I put only a little
of the pepper in my mouth at a
time,” Mitchell explained, l“and
when it began In burn 1 hurried
for the milk. The very hottest
kind of red peppers that I ran up
against in the tests, and I tried
all sorts, was a little red affair
called the Mombasa, chili. It
doesn’t look dangerous, but, oh,
my. They grow in Mombasa and
Zansibar. The bite in these red
peppers is almost exclusively in
the«placcnta, a thin membraneous
partition just inside the shell.”
No Use.
It’s no use loafing in the sum
mer, unless you know just where
you’ll eat when Wintertime, which
is a hummer, ships in some spec
ialties in sleet. ’Twere tetter far
to work like others, endure the
backache ami the yoke, the toil
that galls, the heat that smoth
ers, than face the winter season
broke. There is no bread on
earth that’s sweeter than bread
that’s earned by sweating men;
and happiness pervades the eater,
who knows he owes no man a yen.
No use to talk of big achieve
ments you contemplate in days
to come; they all will end in dark
bereavements, your schemes will
be all out of plumb. No man who
does things advertises his plans
ahead for many moons; he gets
to work and draws the prizes, and
lets the talker take the prunes.
To get In work--lhal is the mot
to e'ach man should in his bonnet
paste, if be would own his yacht
or auto, and have a cash licit
round his waist. J{ is no use in
wait on others In do what you
should do alone; just glance
around—all men and brothers
have chores and troubles of their
own. He active, brave and self
reliant, and show all men, the sky
beneath, that you’re no weakling,
but a giant, with crimson whisk
ers on vour teeth.

May be King of Albania.
London.— It is rumored that
Prince William, second son of the
king of Sweden, and his wife.
Princess Marie, have been select
ed by the powers of the Triple
Entente as the rulers of the new
kingdom of Albania, which is to
be formed soon.
Princess Marie, who is a daugh
ter of a Russian Grand Duke, is
one of the wealthiest princesses
in Europe. She is dark and very
beautiful, while her high spirits
and her democratic, tendencies
have made her the idol of Sweden.
Prince Wilhelm is in the navy,
is extremely tall, and rather like
his father in appearance. The
Prince is a great sportsman, and
a particularly keen lawn tennis
player, while the Princess is as
keen on games as herh usband.
The present Swedish dynasty
was founded by Bernadotte, Na
poleon's great marshal, who was.
the son of a French innkeeper.
It is said that he was the only
man who Napoleon ever feared.
The throne of Albania is not
likely to be a bed of roses, but
Prince Wilhelm is believed to be
capable of the task of dealing with
he turbulent mountaineers.
