Resources of Lake Moses
Institution Are Depleted
OLYMPIA, Apr. 10.—The Moses
Lake State bank of Neppel, Grant
county, was closed today by the
^ state banking department, J. C. Mun
shull, supervisor of banking, an
nounced here. The closing was due
to depleted reserves and the inabili
ty of the directors to raise suffi
cient funds to carry the bank over
the crop growing period, Mr. Mun
^ shull said.
On December 31, 1924, the official
bank call showed capital and surplus
of IS,500, deposits of $38,776.92 and
borrowed funds totalled $6,838.87, ac
cording to banking department rec
i?
ords.
The bank was originally the
Wheeler State bank of Wheeler,
Wash., and was organized in Sep
tember, 1914 by E. C. Davis and
other men. None of the organizers
are now stockholders. In May 1922,
the bank was moved from Wheeler
to Neppel, the name was changed
and new capital was introduced.
“Since that time the directors and
stockholders have contributed funds
for the benefit of the institution
in excess of its present capital and
surplus,” Mr. Munshull said. “They
have used their personal funds in
a strenuous effort to save a situation
for which they have been neither
morally nor legally responsible.”
When the bank closed, Harold

TWO WOMEN went out to buy a certain expen

One was greatly disappointed when, a few days
later, they compared notes. She had bought the
same product that many of her friends had owned.
The other woman had secured a greatly im
proved, new product—costing less, but of much more
value.
“If I had only known there was a better one,”
the first woman said, “I would never have bought
this old one.”
“I had just read about it in an advertisement,”
explained the wise buyer.

Magic Boiler Claim
of German Inventor
BERLIN, Apr. 10.—A “toy” which
produces 600 pounds of steam per
hour will, if its inventor is right,
revolutionize the heating technique
of the world.
Bernard Becker, an negineer in
the little village of Northa, in Thur
ingia, has constructed a steam
boiler about one two-hundredth of
the usual size. It needs just a little
chimney, no special boiler-house, but
I its activities are just as great as
i those of an ordinary big boiler.
While it takes at least five hours
to heat big boilers in order to se
cure a pressure of six to eight at
mospheres, Herr Becker’s construc
tion works prodigiously fast. In
five minutes fifteen atmospheres arc
reached.
The secret of this magic boiler lies
in the fact that there is no water
boiler and that sprayed water is
pressed into the tube which instantly
is transformed into steam. Every
thing in this boiler works autmatic
ally, and Herr Becker intends to
construct a big model with which
he believes he can secure 150 atmos
pheres and even more. The heating
is done with oil, and less is used
than in an oil motor.
A boiler which produces enough
steam for a whole factory looks like
a little stove, its size being roughly
a cubic metre. It is double brick
construction, w'herein a generator
for steam consisting of several
curved tubes is fixed. When the
inventor demonstrated his invention
to the press, he secured a pressure
of twenty atmospheres in four min
utes. Herr Becker claims that the
chief advantage of his boiler lies
in the fact that no residue is pro
duced and that therefore the work
ing of the machinery is practically
unlimited.
While it takes at least five hours
I for a new Golden Age to come, more
skeptical people point out that the
il
invention is nothing else but a ma
chine described already a hundred
years ago by Perkins. Perkins’
boiler proved to be impracticable
because of the enormous amount of
“kettle-stone,” or residue, produced
which in a short time destroyed the
tubes. The only possibility of avoid
ing this production of “kettle-stone”
was use of distilled water, which
would cause such an increase of
costs that the ordinary boiler is
more profitable.
Diesel Cannery Tender
Goes Into Service
(From Pacific Motor Boat)
New features as well as a thor
oughly modern outfit in other res
pects make the 86-foot cannery ten
der Amelie, launched in February
for P. E. Harris & Co. and now on
her way to the company’s cannery
at False Pass, Alaska, of special
interest to fishermen on the Pacific
coast.
The Amelie is heavily built and
has accommodations for ten men in
the foc’sle, besides two double state
rooms on deck. She was designed
by L. E. Geary of Seattle and con
structed by C. J. Johnson of Port
Blakeley. She has a beam of 18V2
feet and in design is similar to the
cannery tender Morzhovoi, built
some years ago for the same com
pany.
The most unique feature about
the Amelie is the specially designed
electrically operated fish elevator, an
idea of Mr. J. R. Nichols of P. E.
Harris & Co. By means of this de
vice, the fish will be automatically
raised from the hold to a point high
enough to slide by gravity over the
rail and one to the apron of the can
nery elevator. It is believed that
the elevator will enable the boat to
be completely unloaded in about
three hours with two men working.
The Amelie is powered with a 165
h.p. Atlas Imperial Diesel engine
which, turning a 55x46 inch Hyde
propeller, gives the boat a speed of
about 10 knots. Very complete elec
trical equipment is carried by -which
not only the anchor, but also the fish
elevator and brailing winches are
operated. An 8-h.p. Atlas auxiliary
Diesel engine operates the generator.
All the pumps are driven by elec
tricity.
Another modern device which is
expected to add much to the satis
factory operation of the power plant
is a De Laval oil purifier. The de
vice is placed in the engine room
alongside the lighting plant. All
lubricating oil is passed through the
purifier for the removal of grit,
water and other, impurities before
being returned to the engine. The
small space occupied by this ma
chine is 13 by 18 inches.
