rrlsls was f.illj.vert almost slimiltaneously
by the mall of Ihe Rolivlan minister sta
tioned ai Miii;ih Ayre:. On Ihe departure
of the Bolivian minister from Argentine
he has been ordered to turn over the
archives o the American. ' Chilean or
Urailllan legation.
The rupture of diplomatic relations was
announced nfiei extended official con
ferences held ihroiiRhout yesterday, at
which efforts were made to meet the ag
griKsUe attitude assumed by Argentina
and at the same time allay the growlnif
popultu ns'latlon In Holivla. The spirit of
the people was shown in monster petitions
asking to lie enrolled In the army, the
petitioners csserting unconditional support
of the government cause In case of an
armed conflict. The feeling that hos
tilities may occur Is shown by tho con
tinued departure of many Argentine and
Hollvlan residents.
The cause of Argentina's brenking off of
diplomatic v latlnnK. as stated here, Is a
circular issued hy President Montes to the
provincial governors of Bolivia, referring
In slighting and offensive terma to
Argeniiiia's decision against Hollvia In the
pending i'ci u-Bolivia boundary dispute.
Argentina alo takes offense at President

have been going on. In view of Argent ma's
adverse ac:ou. which Is regarded as a
national misfortune. Those two steps by
President .Montes are construed' by Ar
gentina as incompatible with a dignified
continuance of friendly diplomatic rela
tions. The recall of their minister there
upon followed aril this in turn was fol
lowed by the recall of the Bolivian min
ister at Uuenos Ay res.

desire to conquer the air IS as contagious
as measles, and almost every town boasts
of an Inventor who Is sure that he has
solved the problem.
Every one of these 200 machines, accord

as a proper engine can be had and the
weather will permit of flying. The fail

the weather man and the engine builders
would melt a heart of stone. The engines
tire either too heavy or too light, and the
wind will insist upon blowing In the wrong
direction.
New York Is favored In having a colony
of inventors. There are at present, more
than twenty of lis Inventors constructing
wings with which they hope to fly. They
vary as to the best method of obtaining
flight, and the assortment of Ideas would

most any one could take wings by giving
the subject a few days' thought. Outside

It. E. Fredrlrkson Automobile Co.
From the sale of a very few machines
the first season, and these handled as a
side line In connection with the carriage
and bicycle business, the establishment of
H. B. Fredrlckson has continuously and
constantly grown and changed In char
acter until It occupies the proud position
of handling each year more machines at
retail than any competitive concern In the
state of Nebraska.
At the time of this incorporation Mr.
Fredrlckson was Joined In business by Mr.
Sidney U Edholm, who became secretary
and treasurer of the firm, and his present
success In the automobile business was
surely Justified by his best successes In
the business world.
Mr. W. F. Kemp, who for the last nine
years has had charge of the mechanical
work In the large automobile establish
ments of Omaha, also became a member
of the firm and took complete charge of
the mechanical Interests of the firm.
Mr. T. M. Bromwell, who has spent
seven years In Omaha and Minneapolis
selling cars, was given charge of the sales
department.
With this organization backed by some
of the best agencies to be secured, the
business reached a scope during 1909 that
had never before been acquired by Its
predecessor.
It has been the policy of the firm to
ell high-grade, short-discount cars at re
tail and look after Its own customers, i
policy that has proven sound and satlsfac
to'y.
George Schuster, the man who gained
fame by driving the New Tork-to-Pails car
successfully around the world, making the
trip In twenty-eight days shorter time than
his closest competitor, will drive a car
of the same make on the Glidden tour as
the office press car.
Mr. Schuster has gained an enviable
reputation for road driving and has driven
the Thomas Flyer, his present car. In
many competitions with credit both to
himself and to the car.
in the New Tork-to-Parls race. Mr.
Schuster was banqueted here by a num
ber of prominent men, who paid worthy
tribute to the driver of the only American
entry.
Mr. R. O. Patten, salea manager of the
j Pierce Arrow Motor Car company, arrived I
In Omaha on Tuesday evening to await the
arrival of the Glidden tour, four of the
contestants being tho cars that Mr. Patten
sells. .
The Interest of the Pierce Arrow fac
tory is naturally greater than most com
panies since they have each year won the
Glidden trophy since It was first offered.

This Is the only concern of Its kind In
this section of the country having an
oxy-acetylene welding plant
This enables them to weld by the auto
genous process.
In speaking of his plant today Bertschy
said:
"We are now able to repair broken
parts of automobiles or any machinery.
Every piece so welded that when smoothed
you will never know It was broken.
"This means gear cases, crank shafts,
cast Iron cylinders, automobile frames and
axles, gas engines, pumps, chilled nickel
steeel gears everything from a small
needle to a five-ton fly wheel.
"The broken piece may be a casting or
forging. It may be of aluminum, csst
Iron, steel, bronxe, brass, copper, German
silver or nickel. The kind, quality and
texture of the metal matters not we will
weld the broken part so perfectly that
when smoothed the weld cannot be dis
cerned. "This Is accomplished by our new auto
genous foxygen-acetylene) welding process,
"The expense Is small approximately
one-fourth the cost of a new part.
"In making a weld by .the autogenous
process, we use nothing but heat. This Is
why we can guarantee every repaired part
to be as strong and as perfect a the
original.
"The heat Is obtained by meana of chem
ical oxygen and acetylene gas combined
In a torch of Ingenious design. The flame
from this torch produces the unheard of
temperature of 6.300 degrees Fahrenheit.
."With our cutting torch the heat is so
intense that It will crumble granite blocks
like a piece of chalk. It will cut a hole
in the Hide of Uncle Sam's toughest battle
ship in less than thirty minutes. It cuts
the largest steel I-beams with as much
ease as you can cut a soft plank with a
sharp saw. Nothing can withstand it.
"Our plunt is complete in every detail.
We employ the most skilled workmen
men who are thoroughly familiar with the
expansion and contraction, and the mole
cular stresses and properties of all metals.
"We are prepared to handle any volume
of work promptly, regardless of Its charac
ter. "We make our own oxygen and acetylene
gas. The oxygen Is stored in tanks for
welding and medicinal purposes alike. We.
will be pleased to quote prices on oxygen
for shipment to any part of the United
States."'
