THEY WANT
MORE TIME
Railroads Seek to Delay Operation
of Law
Washintgon. Aug. 30.—Every one
of the carriers under the recently en
acted railroad rate law is seeking an
extension of time in which to file
with the interstate commerce com
mission its schedule of rates provided
for by the act because, as stated, they
have not had the time necessary to
oomplete their schedules of rates.
Representatives of nearly all of the
13 express companies doing business
in the United States were present at
today's bearing. Frank C. Platt of
New York of the United States Ex
press company told the commission
that his compnay bad thus far pre
pared about 400,000 rates, but that
It was not through by any means.
He said that the company had strain
ed itself to the utmost in doing the
work and now had 50 additional men
at work on the schedules. He urged
the commission in addition to grant
ing an etxension of time to do the
work not to insist upon a posting of
the schedule of rates at every office,
as that would be practically a physi
cal impossibility. In the coarse of
Mr. Platt's statement it developed
that one half, in round figures, of the
CENSUS IS COMPLETED
W. A. Andrew stated today that be
had practically oompleted the taking
ot the school census and found that
there were 1200 children in the city
of the age which required them to at
tend school. This is an increase of
50 per cent over the census taken last
year. This year there will be a
corps of 28 teachers in the public
schools of the city, and at the pres
ent rate of growth, if continued un
til the opening of school in 1907,
about half as many more will be em
ployed. The school census of the
city shows a rapid and healthy
growth, and speaks well for the future
of the city._

ROTARY ENGINE
IS A WONDER
Tested on the Lake and Proves
a Success
The steam launch. Crescent, own
ed by the Crescent Rotary Engine
company, H. 1. Call, president, was
tested yesterady to the satisfaction ot
the company and a number of prom
inent citizens of Spokane.
This is the first boat operated suc
cessfully on western water* with a
rotary engine, and this city has had
the distinction of seeing the test of
an engine which, if perfected on a
larger scale will revolutionize the
methods of steam power, both on
water and on land.
This style of enigne has been the
experiment of the age end the Cree
cent oopmany, of Spokane, claim the
distinction of being among, if not
the first, to operate that type success
fully. Tte engine used in the tact
yesterday was an eight horse power
and under n pre s su re of 100 pounds
of steam, 10 horse power is develop
ed. The usual plea s u re is 75 pounds
nnder which eight horse power was
the minimum With a company of
12 men in the boat, giving a weight
in the neighborhood of 2000 pounds,
and a speed of 12 mile* an hour
was developed.
The object of this teat was not to
increase speed or set a precedent,
bat to see if the engine would fulfil
the expectations of the company on
the matter of cutting down running
expenses, which it did, and to do
away with the vibrations of the crank
engine. It was found that the run
ning expenses would be but the oat
of the oil consumed in lubricating,
and that there was but little If any
vibration. One of the features of
this type of enigne is the economy of
space, for the engine complete weigh
ed but 167 pounds.
BORAH CLAIMS SUPPORT
to
aa
of
is
Lewiston, Idaho, Aug. 29.—Since;
the republican state convention there
has been considerable conjecture
whether the Net Perce county dele
gatee would support W. E. Borah for
United States senator in event of tlie
republican being ticket elected. That
Mr. Borah has no fears that he will re
ceive the unanimous vote of the Ne%
Perce delegation la indicated in the
following autograph statement which
he gave out before leaving for Port
land, where he goes to join Mrs. Bo
rah, who is to undergo an operation.
"There is no doubt in my mind
about my getting the vote of tills
county if republican members are
elected. I feel perfectly safe in say-1
ing to my friends here that they can
rely on that. These candidates for'
legislature are ready to talk to any j
and all voters as to thler intentions
in this regard and no one need be in
doubt, who cares to communicate with
them. I have more at stake certain- i
ly than any one else as to thier vote
in tbe legislature and I am satisfied.
"I have talked to a great many of
my friends since arriving in tbe city
and there need be no doubt about
republican success In Nex Perce this ]
fall. This is just as much a repuhli- j
can year aa two years ago and Nex
Perce county is just as ritelly inter- j
rated in republican success now aa
then. There call be no other than
one result in Nex Perce if you will j
all bear in mind that bigger than in- j
dividual feeling or factional distur- ,
fiances are the momentous questions j
with which tbe republican party both
in state and nation is now dealing.
' 'it has been given out in the south
that Nez Perce county is to be carried
by tbe opposition because tbe repub
licans are in a row here. How often
has that fond delusion carried hope
and calm to tbe other side until tbe
Ides of November tell men of tbe fact
that we have principles and we vote
for them. Peraoual differences don't
change tbe principles of party and it
baa been rare indeed that republicans
have lost because of internal distur
