Ship Almost Wrecked.

mobile headlights almost caused tho
wreck of the lug interisland steam< r
lialeakala and possibly the new con
crete wharf at Mala harbor, island
of Maui. As the lialeakala approach
ed tlie wharf an automobile, with
powerful headlights, raced along the
structure heading directly toward the
vessel, blinding the captain and liis
fellow officers for a few seconds.
When they again glimpsed the wharf
they were almost on it, and only a
quick reversal of tho engines averted
a crash. Tho matter was called to
the attention of the territorial board
of harbor commissioners, and here
after automobiles passing onto the
wharf will ttse their dimmers.

From Cheyenne to Omaha Afoot;
Leaves From Wanderers Notebook
To have walked across Nebraska
from Cheyenne in the dead of win
ter Is no mean feat. ^ et Henry
Arthur line'll, a roving newspaper
man, has just completed the jour
ney. Lifts from friendly motorists
lightened his way. and his observa
tions have all the quietude of a
traveler de luxe, though he got
much closer to reality than if he
had s|>ed past on a fast train.
By HENRY ARTHUR BUCK.
The west Is still filled with romance!
uni great scenery, awaiting .those who
seek It. it is real stuff, folks! I krtow,
because I walked Nebraska on foot,
and did not miss it.
The question, "What db you think
of Nebraska?" has prompted me to
put into type impressions this state
n.ade upon my mind, in comparison
with others. Each nnd every state
lias characteristics of some sort that
keep it fresh in memory and place it
apart from even its neighboring en
virons, This fact, perhtypB, is very
veil known, but «me \«hrt travels "on
foot" is more inclined to draw sharp
distinct ions than those who find it
necessary to cover the same route,
day in and out, always looking for
the change that they rarely ever
find.
Journalises are apt very often to
forget "self" in tlie appreciation and
study of,nature, and I am living as a
journalist!
Have Nebraskans noticed any great
Contrast, for example, between their
own state and that of Wyoming? If
they have, the enjoyment has been
keen, but if they have not, there is
much to he learned in that direction.
The self-acknowledged "unobserv
ants" should, as a cure, take the Lin
coln highway from the city of Oma
ha and travel westward to Cheyenne
nr points farther west In that state,
bearing in mind that they are travel
ing for the purpose of educating
themselves in the many features of
beauty that they have heretofore
been passing up fo»r granted. i he
magnitude of this state, the wonder
ful roads, rich farm lands and healthy
cuttle, all go to make such a trip Im
pressive and lasting in memory. 1
f,-,! firm in the belief, too, that while
there are hundreds of tourists travel
ing the roads year in and year out,
the majority seem to enjoy possible
gilts beyond and do r.ot study the
territory that runs up their mileage
and costs so much gas and oil.
Occasionally, I have become ac
quainted with travelers who Insisted
that "It all looks alike to them," and
of course these sightseers see no
sights. The state pf Nebraska is very
beautiful, as Indeed are all western
states, but it Is in a class by Itself,
I believe, especially from farming
standpoints.
Between the citiea of North Watte
and Omaha, the large tracts «.f a!
fa I fa land would attract the atten
tlon of almost any easterner, the !
richness of the crops are outstanding
features, not to mention quantities
that appear enormous. There can be
no question but that the west is a
country of abundance; this is proven
by such a journey, from one state
to another, as I have made.
Contrast is first noticeable when
the newcomer crosses the state line
near Pine Bluff0, AVyo. The land
changes, roads, are better, and the
temperature milder. Immense flocks
of pheasants are also attractions
along the way.
Even the smallest towns in Ne
braska have the up to-date appear
ance, and all have apparently com
pletely shaken the old western char
acteristics. Kimball, North Platte.
Kearney. Columbus, North Bend and
Fremont are all little cities, complete
and equipped to meet the demands of
the most particular visitors.
The air of 1924 is made stronger,
perhaps, by the little telltales arid
beacons that are placed along the
great air route, virtually linking the
postoffice of this city with that In j
Cheyenne, AVyo. How different from i
1S70? That was the thought thatj
first caVne to my mind w hen I com-1
pared the vest with what it was, in
the long ago, and the changes that j
have made the new west.
But the adventuresome need not be
downcast! If they are in search of
wilderness and secusion the state of
Nebraska will lead them to it, on the
far north trail, through desolate, iso
lated spots far Into South Dakota and
the Black Hills, where lies the body
of “Wild Bill" Hiekok, the sensa
tional gunfighter of long ago. where
also lies many prominent Ill-fated
characters, all of noteworthy mention,
who tried to live to see the upright
honorable open heart'd west that ex
ists today.
Those who are thrilled by the es
sene* or wua i ® *
in North Platte, onetime lorn* pf
"Buffalo Bill" Cody, famWif
and buffalo hunter, who was moth
ered by this slate. The trail, fcads
north, south and west intp vrd**’
tracts of beautiful country, from the
long state of Nebraska to the other
heralded spots of wonder 1 and en
chantment.
Klghta that I have seen, and that
remain for ages for others to see,
should not he passed up for European
trips. If you cannot appreciate the
magnitude and outstanding growth
and beauty of the great west, es
pecially west of the Missouri river,
then European Journeys wilt not
arouse your enthusiasm.

therb is no rattling, rum

Flint top. It is per

top on this car that a man weigh
ing 190 pounds can walk about
without doing any damage what
soever. Specially selected materials
have been used and it is lined
to give a neat, finished appearance.
This top can be quickly converted into
