official announcement which hu been
made. i 7
The Chalmers Motor company haa been
awaited the pathflnding trip for the Gild
den tur for 1S10. Th pathflnding car will
leave Cincinnati about th let of April. It
will be driven by' on of th Chalmera
champion racing team and , will carry , lb
addition to Dal Lewis, th official path,
finder of the American Automobile asso
ciation, th official photographer and rep
resentative of th Chalmera Motor com
pany. Th 1910 Olldden will extend through the
southwsat . and th . central ' parts of the
country. Th tour will pass through
eleven ataUa Ohio, Kentucky, Tenneeaee,
Arkansas. Texaa, Oklahoma, Kansas,' Mis
souri. Nebraska, Iowa and' Illinois. The
tour of 1909, which started from Detroit,
was th longest In th history of th Olld
den event.' This year's tour will b fully
a tons; aa that of last year, and In many
rspcu will be an even more thorough
teat of th participating- cars.
Th most difficult parts of th MO tour
waa encountered in Colorado, Kansas and
Iowa. This yeas tour will not only carry
th cara over gumbo roads of Kansas and
across Iowa, but will also take them over
the mountains of Kentucky, Tannesse and
Arkansas and over parts of Texas and
Oklahoma where such a thine as a "made"
road la almost unknown.
New Territory.
This is the first Glidden tour that ever
went south of the Mason and Dixon line.
It will open up to th automobile Industry
a vast and prosperous new territory. Ar
kansas, Texas and Oklahoma, all new ter
ritory for th greater part of American
motor cars, ace" th other atatea through
which th tour will pass offer some of th
greatest business opoprtunltles in the coun
try. Much of this territory is just awak
ening to th automobile. Th country la
rich in manufactures, commerce and agrl
culture. This year's tour should therefore
bring th contesting manufacturers batter
results than did last rear's event.
From th point of view of general Inter
tat this year's Olldden will exceed any pre
vious cii.test. For th first tlm in th
history t th Industry th automobile will
b brou3H in direct competition with the
thoroughbred horse, a large part of the

In Kansas .City th 1910 event will for

Omaha, Neb., straight across Iowa
through Des Moines to Davenport and

Strenuoma Trio Ahead. '
That th pathflndtng trip for th 1910
Olldden tour will be more strenuous than
that of any earlier tour la the belief of
th American Automobile .association
experts. In April the roada of Ken
tucky are quit jlkely to be veritable
aeas of mud. and at all times th moun
tain traveling through Tennessee la ex

and north to Kansas City, th much
feared grumbo and adobe prevail. , It has
been predicted by Texaa motorists that it
will be impossible for aa automobile to
traverse this territory during th wet sea
son in th early spring.
That th pathflndtng task has been
awarded to a Chalmers "Bluebird" by the
contest board of th American Automo
bile association la m signal honor to the
Detroit-mad car.' Th pathflndtng trip
waa desired by a number of th leading
manufacturers of th country, but Chair
man Butler and th conteat board ahowed
their absolute faith in th dependability of
th Chalmers by awarding th trip to th
"Bluebird."

An exhaustive test recently has been
made In Kansas City, Kan.. In th collec
tion of mall from 150 street .letter boxes
scattered over a thlrty-one-mlle route. By
the ordinary method of collection thia take
two men and two horses seven hour and
twenty minutes to collect By the us of a
steamer on collector went over th route
In a bttl more than one-third th time.
A similar service has been Installed in
Newton. Maaa, a suburb of Boston, and
which has astonished the Postofflce depart
ment at Washington both through ita f ln
otai economy and through th improve
ment in the service. In this servlos on the
noonday collection a steamer carrying a
chauffeur and one collector, start at 9:90
and arrive at thedr starting point again ait
12:30, after having covered thirty-five mile.
On this collection the program is a col
lection of six boxes on the way to New
ton Lower Falls, and any Waban mall ad
dressed to th phvc is left at that post
office. Before 10 o'clock the carrier la at
Auburndale, In season to forward by train
all mail that may b addressed to Boston

th collector probably haa taken mall ad
dressed to postoftlces at which ha already
has collected. He cannot doubl on his
tracks in order to leave It, but he arranges
to connect with a circuit train which prac
tically retrace his route.
An evening collection, which takes up
fewer boxes, cover a rout of twenty-two
miles in about two and a halt hour. Mid
night collection follows, when th ear run

Careful estimate of the number of auto
mobiles owned br farmers in th entire
United Statea Is T,000.
Why does th farmer want an autoT
It's Interesting. Th farmer has more
good reasons for having an auto than any
other man. It Is commonly said now that
many city men are buying autos who can
not afford them. Oarage and chauffeur
CjOsts are largely responsible for this con
dition.
But th farmer takes to an automobile
quit Ilk th proverbial duck to water.
In the first plac. he knows machinery,
He bandies K all day long, and has to be
bis own repair man. As a result h is his
own best chauffeur, and so Is his son.
Th auto fits into th farm work as U
made for it It doesn't replace th bor
not a bit of It. Th bora go into the
field in th morning, and th auto runs
th milk to town, or goes to th mill for
flour mi a hurry, or makea a quick dash to
th machine ahop In town for a part to
repair th biujer or th thrashing machine.

many farmers testify) of a big gang or
men in the field. In an emergency. It
pays for itself in real service by the end
of the year or two.
And then cornea th extra measure of
value it gives. In the pleasure sense.
Writer after writer has told of th. dreari
ness of farm life th. loneliness, ofttimes
leading to insanity. It la well known that
the greatest percentage of Insanity Is
among farm women. Th. horses are
needed In th fields every day of good
weather, and on Sunday they need rest.
Th. farm wife and family therefore are
practically prisonera for a large part ol
tho year. They are at the mercy of dis
tance. Such a condition cramps mem.
stunts them and drives the children to the
cities In search of more life and compan
ionship. It has been the sad cry of the
farm and the village for fifteen years that
its best young men were going to the
cities that they refised to stay on the
farm because of lack of pleasure as well
aa lack of opportunity.
Nowadaya there la no more cry about
lack of opportunity on the farm. Sixteen
automobile makers are advertising autos
to the farmer in the 450 farm papera of
the country, and most of them are arguing
that th automobile will keep th boy on
the farm and make life more livable for
the wife whose dreary round of labor haa
been the pity of the country.
Now the farmer with an suto can take
his family for an evening call, or lecture,
without using his horses. He can go to
church on Sunday more regularly; he can
vlalt distant relatives and friends more
frequently; he can go to town oftener and
more quickly. One Dakota farmer who is
extremely fond of hunting, but lives forty
miles from the game district, takes his son
with him on Saturday during th. season
and comes bsck Sunday night with a deer
or two slung across the radiator, and bub
bling over with tales of his trip.
There are 18,000,000 people living on farms
and in towns of lesa than 4.000 in thla coun
try. This means thst over half of our
population la practically in the country.
About 25,000,000 of these are young people,
and they are just as keen for pleasure as
voung people anywhere else. That is one
big reason for the automobile on the farm.
Ten or fifteen years ago farmers bought
organs for their daughters and buggies
for their sons. A great many of them are
today buying autoa for the whole family.
An entirely new meaning haa been given
to th. village aocial life In consequence.
In fact, th farmers themaelvea are the
beat champions of the auto. Leslie's
Weekly.
How to Avoid Accidents.
To avoid accident from back-firing when
cranking, place the thumb against the
Index finger and take the handle between
th. four fingers and th. palm of th. left
hand. Should you, through accident, re-
oeiv. a blow from the back-firing crank, it
will descend on the palm and not th. wrist
or back of th. hand, as would b the
case If the right hand were used.
Five Barer to Oa. Car.
It has been estimated that for every
automobile manufactured this season there
are at least five buyers now available, who
are waiting for the delivery through the
regular channels of the automobile trada

NO EXCUSE FOE SMOKE KUISANCE
Carel Drivers and Faulty Engine
Are Responsible for Trouble.
George J. Dunham, president of the
Royal Tourlet Car oompany, is , outspoken
in his condemnation of the smoke nuisance
in connection with th. running of auto
mobiles. ,
He attributes it to the carelessness of the
drivers, as well as to the faulty motor con
struction, and suggests that the Associa
tion of Licensed Automobile Manufacturers
should wield Its Influence In mitigating
the evil before drastlo legislative action is
taken.
"All th. streets of our big cltlea,"", he
said yesterday, "are reeking with foul ex
haust smoke odors as a result of careless
ness and Ignorance on th part of 'many
drivers of automobiles on the one hand
and faultily designed motor construction on
th. other. There is little, if any, excuse
for this smoke nuisance the garage is the

MINER HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Legr Almost Knocked Off by a Bear,
bat th. Man's Nerv Savea
the Limb.
"For sheer nerve lead me to a Westerner
at all times," said A. P. Mathieson. Math
leson is a miner, works in the West Colusa
and is one of the best dopesters on horse
racing In 'Montana. "I know what I am
talking about when It comes to Western
nerve," he continued, "for I have seen a
number of Instances of It One notable
on. I can recall Just now, and I am going
to tell you about It.. At one tlm. a party
of three of us wer. hunting In the Piute
mountalna in California. One day a ranch
man came to our camp and told us that a
big cinnamon bear was making regulsr
raids upon his sheep pasture and unless
some one got her scalp she would eat him
out of house and home. He said he had
hunted for her several times and each
time the' hunt was a failure. W told
him w would get her scalp, but we were
none too sanguine about it; we only
wanted to encourage hlra.
"Next morning, having received minute
directions as to th. probable locality of
the old girl, w. started out, vowing that
w. would bring that bear's hide into
camp. We did. but we brought the leader
of our little bunoh of hunters, MUfort
Lowe, Into cam a cripple, and we hut
three little cub bears cuddling up In our
pockets and a lot of bear meat, which
never did taste good, for It was too early
In th. spring. In addition w. had a lot
of experience. This Is how it happened
"When we reached a point near where
w. had a good opportunity to Jump the
old bear w. wer riding Indian file, a rod
or so apart. Lowe waa in front, my
partner second, and I had the honor of
being rear' guard. W. reached one of
the wildest points In the Piute mountains
when Low. suddenly stopped and gave us
the signal to slow up. An Instant later he
beckoned us to corns on, and when we
reached the little point of a hill where he
waa waiting we looked down the valley a
few hundred yards and there we saw a
cinnamon bear rooting around a rotten
log. Honestly, when I first got a peep at
her aha looked to be as big as a 2-year
old bull.- and the three cubs, rolling about
in the grass near by, playing like puppies.
looked as big as a shepherd dog. Imme
diately Low outlined a plan of action. My
partner and I went down th hill, where
w had a chance to attack th old bear
from either side, and Lowe was to advance
straight upon her when a signal, the shril
lng of a tree squirrel, twice repeated, was
given. The. plan worked all right at ths
start. Low waa prowptly on the ground
and he got the first shot, wounding the old
dame in such a manner that It only made
her get up on ths poke so bad that she
naturally wanted to lick anything In sight.
She rushed Lowe, and before my partner
and I could realise it, sh was upon him,
striking at him with her strong paws and
biting savagely. ,
"Th first stroke she made caught his
rigM leg and th bone snapped, and in an
instant w saw th leg fly up toward his
head and them doubl back against bis
loins. I fired on th instant and hit th
old bear so sh. Jumped back to Hck her

wound, and Just ai she turned to finish
Liow., my partner made a lucky shot and
got the old dame square through the eyes..
Ail this occurred within a few seconds.
Then we ran to Lowe and found he had
fainted with the pain. As tenderly as ws
could we removed the clothing from th.
broken leg and we found it was fractured
in such a manner that the case looked
hopeless.
'By and by he came to his senses again.
the pain brought hdm back from dreamland.
Then he Immediately took charge of th
situation. He told me to strip some bark
from one of the trees near by, and when
his leg waa pulled out so that the points of
tho bono were close enough to touch earHi
other to place the leg in the Improvised
splints. I did so, stiffening these Impro
vised splints with a lot of stiff pieces of
wood. Then I took all the suspenders and
handkerchiefs in the crowd and tied th
splints firmly In place. When this was don
Low insisted on getting on his horse and
riding to the nearest ranch, ten miles away.
"Low stood the long ride with fortitude.
and never whimpered, save when we took
him off the horse at the end of the Journey.
Then he did a little cussing at our awk
wardness, nothing more. About a week
later, as there was no physioian near, tie
decided his leg was not doing as well as It
ought, so he hired the farmer to take htm
to the nearest settlement, forty miles away,
where ther was a doctor, and when the
journey was completed and the broken leg
taken out of the prlmtlve bark cast and the
pin tree splints, the medical man suld that
one of the finest jobs of amateur surgery
he had ever seen In his life had been ac
complished. The last time I saw Lowe h
had aa straight a leg as any man you ever
saw, but he has steadfstly refused to go
on any more bear hunts." Butte Miner,
