Tha cause of good "roads In the west Is

within a few months. The rnad la of par

)"It Is easy for a farmer to see," said
J. E. George of Omaha, who, with H. E.
iFredrickeon and S. A. Searle went to Un-
ooln last week and surveyed the eastern
: Xlfty miles of the highway, "that if he can

11 over the state. Just for that reason, the
farmers are out dragging the roads which
have been designated as the official high
; way, and they axe quite willing to give
time and expense to the cause."
The Idea for a road from Omaha to Den
ver, which might some day be a part of
the national across-the-contlnent highway,
materialized at a meeting held at Hold
rege May 1. S. A. Rearle of Omaha was
elected one of the vice presidents of the
association, and he and Mr. George, with
Mr. Fredrickson, driving a Chalmers "30,"
risked the mud and damage during the wet
days to pick out the best route between
Omaha and Lincoln.
The Omaha half of the road was to be
from here to Culbcrtson. All along the
route the local commercial clubs and auto
mobile clubs have hfilpd in iiie woik, and
now the path is almont settled.
t Map the Route.
The Whole 500 miles will be so well
mapped and described In the booklet now
I being printed that no one could possibly
.'lose hla way. "
Between here and IJnooln the Omaha
flub will put up sign boards at every turn,
: giving the direction and distance to lm-;-Jxrtant
points. The descriptions of the
j'roadway are explicit and are given in dla
.tances of small fractions of a mile. Every

condition of the roads la, of course.' con
tinually Improving as the offlciaj designa
tion of certain road leads to more Interest
In them.
Tl jre Is already constructed In the state
: of Colorado a good road from Denver to
: Holyoke. which will be Intersected at that
, point by this Omaha-Denver highway and
be a part of It

j, From Omaha this Interstate highway
Will commence at Sixteenth and Farnam
treets, goes west on Farnam street to
Twenty-eighth street, thence south and
west tj Hanscom Park, thence west on
Center street to Millard on a paved road,
thence south to Springfield, acrors the
Platte river at Louisville, and thence west
to Greenwood and southwest through
AYaverly. Havelock, University Place,
passing the state agricultural farm to Lin
coln, from which point it is located through
Milford. Dorchester and Trlend, following
the Burlington railroad to Hastings, Hold
rege, Oxford, McCook and Culbertson, and
from thence to Palisade and Imperial to
Holyoke, Colorado and Denver.
"The earnestness and activity displayed
by the partlea Interested." said 8. A.
Searle. "especially at the Omaha end of
this great hlghjway, la Indicated from the
fact that regardless of the mud and al
most Impassable condition of the roads,
jnr. rrearicason took the Omaha party
zrom Omaha to Lincoln, and returned with
peed and safety by the use of mud chains

ilir. Fredrickson and Mr. George, who, re

'thus lend their aid to the construction of a
public highway that will prove of Ineetima
ble benefit to the cities of Omaha and Den
ver .and Intervening points, as well aa the
people along this route for all time to

As In all races the spectacular features
were at the beginning and the end. The
aecldenta were not spectacular. They
could not be. The track w. tnn i.
distances too great. The huge motor cars
dwarfed by their apeed. seemed almost
toylike as they whined amunH

were piled together In the great though al
most harmleaa crash of the day. there was

not spectacular.

the electric contagion that goes with great

All prices includeiulL Equipment
Full equipment means
fore-doors, standard high grade top, zig-zag wind-shield,
mirror lense headlights, mounted on specially designed
headsets, gas generator, 3 oil lamps, horn, tools, full re
pair kit.
.Wo are goin to show you thatjn this 1912 Fore-door Ilup-mobile,-
fully equipped for $750, you get infinitely more
than you have ever before been offered.
Today you can with more reason than ever compare the
HupmobiJe, for quality, with the costliest cars of larger
size; for we have added improvements which represent in
material alone $100 more .than the Hupmobile which
charmed your fanoies two seasons ago.
So much for quality; in the complete equipment added with
out extra cost, namely: fore-door at $25, top at $30, wind
shield at $20, gas lamps and generator at $20, we are giv
ing you nearly $100 more in actual quantity value.
Notv to get down to "brass tacks" pick out any car of
lower price. Then add to that price the money value of
the 1912 equipment and the improved quality in the Hup
mobile. Surely if quantity plu9 quality spells value you will not ask
for any more convincing argument than the actual extrar
worth in dollars that we have just shown you.
Study the list of 1912 improvements see for yourself how
in each and every Hupmobile for 1912 we have incorpo
rated entirely new elements of value.
Many of these improvements are peculiar to the Hupmobile;
for some of them you'll have to look to cars of $1,500 or
more.
The legitimate savings of an immensely increased produc
tion are passed on to you in the form of structural, me
chanical and incidental refinements never before offered
,in a car at anything like this price.
Remember the flawless reputation of the Hupmobile, not
only among those with whom cost must cut an important
figure, but also with men of wealth and automobile ex
perience in every community.
We believe that your conclusion will lead you to be among
. the first to inspect this better than ever Hupmobile.
We have just received our first quota of the new cars. We
are rqady now to prove beyond question that we have the
greatest motor car value that has ever been demonstrated
in this city.
