Mr. Sharpe of the Wes tern Machine and Fouudry Com pany, does not make boilers and Mr. Johnson therefore departed for Omaha where he will endeavor to have 'a boiler made. The capacity of the machine which he expects to have built will be 50,000 gallons every twenty-four hours, and the work will be done by electricity, heating the enclosed oil to from 12 GO to 2,000 degrees, vaporizing the portion which is desired fuel, and the other, runnin into another tank in the shape of coal tar, or carbon. Mr. Johnson says it will cost about one cent per gallon for operating the machine. The work is done mostly by elec tricity, and the product is called Klectrolite. and has the consistency of Wood Alcohol, and is composed similar, but has, in addition to the ingredients of Wood Alcohol, some oil. which wood alcohol does not have.

We remember when we were a boy, and sometimes traded knives or marbles, we would say "Red leath er trade forever," and then we thought the trade was made for good unless our parents took a hand in it, when we would have to abide by their findings. Well, you know men are only boys grown tall, anyway. T. L. Amick sold a car to Chris topher Murray, a Ileo, and took a Ford in exchange as part payment thereon and a note for the difference which amounted to ?o00.u0. That was day before yesterday, and later that evening Mr. Murray returned dissatisfied with the bargain, and wished some other kind of a trade. The matter was talked over but no definite understanding -was reached. though many counter propositions were made by both parties. Yester dav morning Mr. Murray came to town and was at the garage of J E. Mason, and took the car which he had left with Mr. Amick and which was stored with Mr. Mason, drivin it home. Mr. Clarence Mason, who was working under another car, called to Mr. Murray not to take the car, and hastened out and getting another car started to apprehend him, but after playing a game of "auto polo" was unable to prevent the car from being taken away. Now the case rests with Murray in possession of both cars, and Amick in possession of the note for the $500.00, with Mason re sponsible for the car taken.

You'll not havej ersonal occasion to take a trip on a lightening bolt li isn't our ambition to manufacture the swiftest automobile man knows, but it is our purpose to build cars so sturdy and worthy that they can emerge even from the murdering ordeal of a free-to-all contest without . mark of devastation without a sign of weakness. We do not offer the Chalmers as a racing car. It isn't designed to be one cr advertised to create this impression. But the track is the last word in motor tests the laboratory of action sets the cruellest standards that material and construction may endure. If there's a flaw in pattern, or part, a solid day of bitter, brutal, speed wili find it. 83 miles in one hour: so fast that the most alert camera could only catch a blurred image of the mir acle.
