Five miles from the sawmill Buckhorn road Is nothing but a lumber trail and was covered with a foot of snow. The Brush exhibit shows four type of the model K 1SU car. These are the stand ard runabout for two persons, the run about eqilpped with extra rumble seat, the roadster type and the coupe.

The trip north waa made from Fdmondton. In Alberta province, by Tom fcvsns. Cadillac factory representative on the Pacific coast, and the Cadillac dealer at Edmondton, In the latter' new demon stration car. When the start was made the thermometer registered 1J degrees below lero, the ground was rough and frosen hird. and snow had newly fallen. At times the car traveled fifteen to twenty miles without passing a sign of human habita tion, or animal life. After traveling about fifty miles, the Athabasca river covered with four feet of Ice was resetted, and the car waa steered out on the Ice. After an other 100 miles, Athabasca landing was reached, where the party was advised not to attempt to proceed further north. It was also learned that the Cadillac waa fhe first automobile to make the trip from Kdmondton to Athabasca, and that few wagons attempted the Journey In winter. The dealers and salesmen were In a merry mood; they seemed to be cutting up a great deal and their antics caused someone to remark about the cutting up. A witty reply was: "This Is Washing ton's birthday why shouldn't we cut a few things?" Some of the autoa had to be restrained from rushing .forth from the Auditorium. N The Reynolds tops, sold by the E. W, Reynolds Manufacturing company. 713-715 South Fifteenth street, are popular with a great majority. They are serviceable. Sev eral people at the show who ow.i Reynolds tops declared them to be the best they ever possessed.

"It will do all the dealer say and more. I know, because I own one." Thla statement pleaaed the Mclntyr Automobile company very much, for it had not been solicited. The strong Ford car received much at tention. The low price of this machine seemed to be a drawing card and many of the visitors made their way to the booth of the Ford company just to see what a wonderful little car waa located there. Clarke Q.

The famoua Packard trucks are on ex 1 titbit and they ate causing a great ea' of ' comment. These machines are of a superior ! type and are among the best trucks-made. r j If the Carson City News had not been i enterprising enough to have an automobile j in its service, a large part of the state o( I Nevada would have missed Its Uali new ' paper on several occasions when , bulky ! electric power house failed to k'urnlsii I "Juice" to run the newspuper plant. Ha Ing no auxiliary power and no prospect ol electric current, the News waa unabie to j operate Its linotype machines or presses i and the paper could not be got out. j An Ingenious master mechanic suggested ! that If the company's Maxwell runabout could be got Into the pressroom, he coulrt I start the machinery. After removing aev- eral partitions, the automobile was placed In the desired spot. The rear of the car wa Jacked up and by the use of improvised shafting and belting the machines set in motion. After the publisher realized what lliey had accomplished, they Issued this etalcment in the News: "Hereafter the News will not miss an issue even If the electric power fails, for when the Hunts grow dim aud the power weali, the headlights of the a- will be lighted, the motor started and ".e New will appear in record time, ground out by an automobile."
