December 29th, 1910:
We hauled 19,900 lbs. between 9:05 A. M. and 12:45 Noon;
traveled 15 Va miles, took one load of 9,850 lbs. up Dodge St. from
17th to 20th backed into places where it is almost impossible
to get horses. Wo did this at n cost of 1240 per ton per mile.

"The Urant ft Wood company, which was
organized less than a year ago, occupies
the mammoth plant elected by former
State Treasurer Olsiler. which has been
still further enlarged. Its specialty Is the
manufacture of automatic multl-sptndle
screw machines, screw macnine products
and steel balls for ball beurlngs.
"The principal output of the Pontiac fac

constructed, will be motorcycles and the
making of automobile parts for other com
panies. The gear works and foundry are
now running machinery Is being installed
In the drop forging deiwirtment, and the
experimental department of the motorcycle
plant haa been busy for several months.
To Individualize its product the company
has coined a new name for the vehicle It
will produce. It will be known ns the
Flanders "Hl-Mobile." a two wheeled auto
mobile. As yet no definite Information Is
forthcoming as to the particular deslcn
and feature of the new bl-mobile, but it
1b no secret that Mr. Flanders has long
held that thousands of men of modest
means who cannot afford an automobile
are waiting for the development of a motor
vehicle of proved usefulness and within
their reach as to price and maintenance."
Two grinning and dirty faced fellows last
Friday morning shot down Broadway, New
York City, In a very much dirtier car. It
was the Warren-Detroit "Wolverine,"
which left the Ctty of the Straits on the
afternoon of December 20. The crew, by
herculean effort, made the trip In a few
hours less than ten days, thereby establish
ing a winter record between Detroit and
New York In mid-winter.
The first day and a half out of Detroit
there was nothing to contend with except
tha cold and frigid winds off Lke Erie.
When the men left Cleveland, however,
the drifts became so deep, from four to
five feet, that in two days the car made
a total of twenty m,lles. .
Christmas eve saw the two plucky fellows
who rode In the "Wolverine" snowbound
near Ashtabula. All day long they dug the
little car out of first one big drift and
then another. In places the road was ob
literated. The tonneau was plied full of
planks and L'x4s, which Driver Ilill tmitli
and his partner pushed under the rear
wheels of the car whenever the latter
dug themselves so far Into the drifts that
they could no longer secure traction.
Before tha car 'eft Detroit the car was
equipped with everything from a pickaxe
to block and tackle and the tourists found
opportunity to use every bit of it. In Ohio
and Pennsylvania tha snow was the deep
est, but was also a great struggle to get
across the snowbound Montezuma marshes
between Rochester and Syracuse, From
Albany to New York the run was made In
the mud and rain, a great contrast to the
earlier days.
The dally mileage of the "Wolverine"
ranged from ten miles to 1W. During the
last days of the run the car and its crew
were on the road before daylight and never
left it until darkness set In at nlghf.
It was up to Driver Smith to bring the
ear In for the Grand Central Palace show,
and he did it with time to spare. It ia the
first time that a single car has made this
trip in winter. Last year another com
pany sent a squadron of cars through, but
the "Wolverine" had to plow 1,000 odd
miles alone.
The Michigan tourists will return by way
of the Philadelphia, Chicago and Detroit
shows and start then for San Francisco on
a transcontinental trip.

During the Lincoln convention of the
Bulck company a dozen automobile man
called upon Mayor Love yesterday and
asked the mayor It the city was In the
business of advertlblng any particular
make of machine and upon receiving a
negative answer they asked that the fire
chief be forbidden to make an exhibition
run during the afternoon for the benefit
of a convention of salesmen of a particular
make of automobiles. The mayor Investi
gated the matter and found that some time
ago H. 1 Sidles asked Fire Chief Clement
If he would do what he could to make the
convention Interesting, and the fire chief
replied that he would. Mr. Sidles then
printed aa one feature of the program that
an exhibition run of the fire department
would be made. Mr. Love decided that aa
long as the chief had told Mr. .Sidles what
he did, and It had been incorporated in
the program, it would be best to allow the
run to be made. Mr. Sidles told the mayor
that the convention was cjulte a large one
and that the members had asked no favors
of the Commercial club or other favors of
the city, as Is frequently done, and be
thought that It was not asking too much
to have the exhibition run made. The
mayor told the delegation of llval automo
bile men that he would permit the run,
but that the city would not discriminate,
and in case any convention of their sales
men should be held here they will also be
treated to an exhibition. The delegation,
however, was not altoKttler satisfied. The
fire chief's auto la of the same make as
that sold by tha members of the conven
tion, and the salesmen of the other makes
were not sure that they would want the
chief riding at the head of the parade for
their conventions In a different car than
they were selling.
One of the best reliability performances
ever made by an automobile was done by
Dr. Llmer K. Porter. 406-g Hrandels build

"4" from the Mclntyre Auto Co., on the
26th day of. last April, and up to the fust
of this month has driven 27,no miles and
the mileage made without expenditure ex
cept tires, gas and oil. The car has been
In the shop only three times during the
summer and no time to exceed two hours
for adjustment The doctor haa only words
of highest praise for the Oakland and also
for his drivers who gilded his car over
long night runs across country' nd never
had the slightest mishap.

every day during the Land Show, and invite visitors to call and- (
