Tha preaa agent has been tha meana of
the automobile climbing up Plka'a Prak.
'l the capttol Ktepa at Washltigton and alao
the Coloradci atate capltol atpps, u 4S per
Bent grade, and other marvellous ftata too
numeroua to mention.
Rtreet cars have already made the peril
ous trip up the rocky sldps of Pike's Peak,
but the latest of these was a little run
about. From the base of the mountirin to
tke summit along tha path It was forced
to take la a distance of 12 6 miles. This
little car struggled along for eight hours
up the slope of this the most famous of
all the Reeky mountains. In soma pla ea
the grade ran as high aa forty-five de
grees. Tha driver aa a the greatest ob
stacles he had to overcome were tha ob
structions In the trail, frequently It belnz
found necessary to fill In washouts and
pry away huge rocks which thundered
down the mountainside. Sometimes the car
jumped off the edge of ledges two and
three feat high. One wuhout which was
encountered was so deep that It was use
less to think of filling it, and so strips
of wood were placed across It and over
these the car waa run.
The Downward glide.
After a short rest at tha Summtt house,
at the top of the mountain, the car started
on the downward journey, the homeward
trip being just aa exciting, and even more
ao, afttr tha gasoline tank was punctured
by a jagged rock and all, except a gallon,
of ther precious fluid waa lost. For the
greater part of the trip tha car had to
coast, but this was not ao difficult. For
Its upward struggle the wheels were bound
with rope to give them more traction.
For 'the sake of advertising thla same
little car was aent flying up tha ateps
of the Colorado capltol building. Aa the
front wheels shot up the stone steps the
driver was thrown back In his seat, and he
had to oltng desperately to the steering
wheel to prevent belg pitched out. Every
thing had to be done In an Instant, and as
much depended upon the agility of the
driver as upon tha capability of the car.
Automobile "stunts" are becoming as
common aa flies around a molasaea barrel.
Soma of them are not performed in the
Interests of publicity. There la the case of
a doctor out In Michigan last summer,
who is tha owner of a light runabout, cost
ing $b0& Ther are four members In his
family. When vacation time arrived he
built a sectional rowboat, bought a aeven
by ten tent, with two folding poles, two
tent cots and a fishing outfit, strapped
them all on the rear of his car, placed
hi wife and two children In Its one seat,
at on a box himself, and drove away to
the camping ground. Had tha boat been a
little wider It would easily have floated
the automobile. If occasion had demanded.
Enterprising motorists have put their
automobile to some queer uses. A y an Wee
up in Connecticut Jacked up his car and
rigged It so that it would run a circular
aw, and In one day he sawed enough
wood to last him tho ontlra winter. The
proud possessor of a motor car with an
Ingenloua turn of mind and a number oi
Jersey cattle turned hla car Into an auto
ohurner. He la authority for the statement
that It turns out a fine grade of print
butter. Out on Long Island another motor
ist with the aid of a block and fall raised
a windmill that would hava required two
teama of horses to do tha work.
An automobllist and a chicken raiser says
he baa made hla car do tha dutlea of a
ben, for when hie incubator broke down
the car took lta place and brought forth
a fine brood of ohlckena, which be has
named his autohorns. They are not afraid
of a car, be adda, and instead of cackling
make a noise like an exhaust.
Tho automobile la Invaluable on the farm,
and can do everything, from ploughing to
thrashing wheat, cutting hay and milking
catjle. It la luat In lta infancy, however,
and no one can tell what tha future wUl

Showing a contlnuou apeed that has per
haps not before been equalled except on a
specially prepared couroe, Mr. H. E.
Fredilcksun on last Tuesday fairly flew
on his dash from Omaha to Columbus
currying the message of President Taft
on the Philadelphia auto relay race to
Heattle. Driving with a skill that has made
him famous for his road work, he crowded
the Chalmers "" to its limit for mile
after mile, seldom slackening except for
the most abrupt turns. Making an average
Btieed of foity-two and thr. e-fourths miles
per hour, It was necessary to hold close
to a sixty mile Bpeed whoiever the road
conditions would permit.
The trip was a hair raiser from start to
finish. The terrific rush of air had torn
the flags from the car before the out
skirts of Omaha had been passed and the
banner attached to the hood waa the only
thing to Indicate Its mission and It was
impossible to rtad the Inscriptions on this.
When the mHcadam on the Dodge street
road was reached the hum of the motor
changed to a roar that never ceased until
the arrival at Columbus. Roads that were
considered rough ware passed over so
quickly that they offered hardly a Jar to
the car. One bridge with an oval ap
proach was Jumped over entirely clearing
a distance of over twelve feet. The wheels
would of times leave the ground and with
the full power of the motor behind them at
tain a velocity that would fairly cause the
tires to scream when they again came In
contact with the road. On this run of 100
miles the two rear tires that were new
at the start were worn down to the fabric.
The fatet running time of the Union
Pacific between Omaha and Columbua la
two hours and forty minutes. The Chal
mers Detroit covered the same distance In
two hours and fifteen minutes. This seems
Incredible, but It is a matter of record
and official timing by the Western Union.
It makes a new figure for this route
It emphasizes the construction put behind
a moderate priced car. It gives a local
driver the distinction of driving the faatest
lap of thp Trnnscontlnental race.
When Mr. Frtdiickson announced last fall
that In a Chalmers "Forty" ha would
endeavor to drive from Omaha to Chicago
In less than twenty-four hours, many
sneered at the Idea. While bad conditions
of the roads canned a poxtponoment of this
trial and business Inter prevented making
the trip, the time In which the Columbus
run waa made. If maintained for the entire
distance would have brought him to Chi
cago In 11:15, giving htm a leeway of 12:45,
In which to make good.
The only special preparation made for
the trip waa to remove the top and strap
tha frame to the axles so aa to protect
the springs. One of these double tug
straps was torn out by the violent tossing
over a stretch of rolling road and at times
the car buoked like a broncho. Tha streets
of the towns through which the car passed
were Jammed with curious crowds who
scampered to cover as the Chalmers dived
through the path that was kept open for it

hitched to a classy horse with English silver
trimmed harness, and a sign advertising
the fact that t& would be taken off even
the cut price eaoh day until sold. Some

no doubt several persons will be disap

ment to be true.
We want every prospective owner of an automobile to know It, too.
The '"Ftoddard-Payton" always always mark you haa been a good

year It has led the advance of American automobile progresa.
In the 1810 models, tho "Stoddard-Dayton" is, aa usual, tha car
"away ahead."

steady power at slow as well aa fast speed alwaya powerful, quirt,
smooth, snappy and apeedy. Is now acknowledged the trreateet nf gaao

of these aame points In common. Fully as clever are the principles,
design and construction of all other mechanical parts. Every alight
detail shows studied thought.
Materials. Finest quality, strongest and most durable known to

Workmanship. Experts, the most skilled possible to obtain, ars em

The man who kava lamped from make to make stops whsn he bays
tho "Stoddard-Barton." He sticks to IT. TOD need not experiment.
Just start right with tho
"Stoddarci-Dayton"
It poaaeases all the tried and true excellence of former years com
bined with the most advanced accomplishments in tha automobile and
mechanical world.
Moneyed men who disregard price, but who are overly exacting In
choosing a car, buy the "Stoddard-Dayton" time after tlma.
Scientific, machanlcal men. and hrads of machinery companies com
pare all prominent cars and ofteneat buy "Stoddard-Daytons."
An official of the Carnegie Steel Co. a man exceedingly hard to
please la now driving his fourth "hloddard-Dayton."
Four stockholders In an automobile factory producing one of Amer
ica's highest priced cars, are now driving "Stoddard-Day ton" Hoadsturs.
Owner of "frUoddard-Day tuna" swear by their cars.
The "Stoddard-Dayton" must be absolutely the beat or It would not
deserve and receive such flattering patronage.
"Stoddaxd-Daytoas" alwaya sell at the full prloa, not one cent less
to anybody and atlU there la always a shortage la the supply of car
before the season is over.
Have us "how you" by practical demonstration that "Stoddard
Daytina" are all they are cl.tlmed to be. i
Olaasy-Beantiful. "Stoddard-Davton" cars are of clasv design
with graceful, pleasing lines and diHtinctively beautiful finish, not elaa

Ease-Comfort- "Stoddard-Dayton" cars are so balanced and hung,

won victories over every Hill Cllmblne: competitor with which It
ever contented. And this Includes cars of the hghest price. It

larger percentage or victories.

Low Goat. The first cnxt Is the lowest because you get more for
every dollar Invested In a "Stoddard-Dayton" than any other car made.
The second com is the very lowest, because the Valve-ln-Head motor
develops 1 0 to 20 miles per gallon of gasoline and repair expenses are as
low as the lowest.
