COVEEED WAG OX"" HERE
From Monday's Daily
Th" n w "covered wagon" is here
and unlike its pioneer prototype,
this wagon has come from the far off
land of the early Spanish mission
aries in the far west where there is
oil. Bowers and "bull" flowing and
flowering lik milk and honey. Th.
new wagoneers are not like their
pioneer forebears seeking fortune
and fame but are gathering Around
tbe family hearthstone for the holi
day season.
. j ne covered wagon that cantH
clowly from the vvet was a roadster
of the variety made famous in the
Ford factories and the party that
were driving the wngon composed
two Plattsmouth young men. Blythe
K f nevnns and Fritz Duda and Ar;
Rice of Los Angeles, and their sights
Of the twinkling lights of this city
Saturday brought as great a sense
of happiness as did the vision of the
blue T'acific to Balboa as he led his
"oand across the Rockies to Cal
fornia.
The party left Los Angeles eleven
days asro and they have bad some
very stirring experiences in the jour
ney that were annoying and also
amusing. On the first lap of tbe
Journey they were lost at night in
the sandy wastes of Nevada and af
ter searching for the highway de
i cided t' awail the coming of the
j morn and lying dow n beside the De
! troit vibrator, they rested until the
first dawn of day and then discov
ered a r;gn post not twenty feet
away tbat guided them into the city
of Searchlight, where both of the
inhabitants greeted them on their
eastward journey. The distance de
molisher that they were driving de
v loped a great appetite for gas and
oil and the members of the partv
state that when they made a stop at
a gas station they would secure five
gallons of gas and also five gallons
of oils and in fact the car did a great
deal toward giving Nevada and Utah
a real system of oiled roads almost
to the California line. One of the
disagreeable experiences was found
in Wyoming where the cold weather
mad.- it necessary to make stops at
hotels instead of camping out as had
been the practice on the first part of
the trip. The boys state that as
near as they can keep track they had
fifty punctures on the trip and the
last occurred eight miles from this
city ami they came on in on the rim.
