down and smile at his deeds.
Such as all this has been done by H.
E. Fredrickson, chairman of the country
roads committee of the Omaha Commer
cial club," In his recent trips to the coast,
laying out, marking, and talking the
Omaha-Salt Lake Pioneer trail, which is
a" part, of the proposed transcontinental
highway. ' ' -

Some of the results of these trips are:
Omiiia has' been" placed" lirtlRS center of
the Transcontinental highway, over which
all'tke tourists from the east travel to

Omaha and Omaha has been advertised
the country over.
Between Cheyenne and Salt Lake City
th Omaha boosters foUnd ; a new trail
which cuts off the' distance "fifty' five

. MeJicine , Bowv tourists now will travel

In this latter city Is where the Omaha.

the route1 to be' shorter and so placed
Elk Mountain on the trail. - "
'"' ' All Hands Join. "
It was at Elk Mountain that the citi
zens and farmers went together to mark
and better the' road. Six weeks after tho
Omaha-good roads enthusiasts passe 1
through there -"-these people had built
forty-one badges and had tne signs mark,
irig the" road pfaced on posts 'every half
mile. There are now eighty-two signs
on the fifty-one miles radiating from the
town. In the town tourists may now see
as they pass through the ; painted cow
tethered, by the,.rioads1de. . On each, of her
four Jegs. is the broad .white ,band with

.F.., j. . .Carnchan of New,. Yqrk , City,
nephew' of.John.D,, Rockefeller, ,met the
Qmahans .at Rock Springs, Wvo. He was
so embued by the spirit of bettering roads
that he secured a can of paint and brush
and went out to mark the trail. The pho
tograph shows him doing this work a few
miles west of Rawlins.
Another result of FredncKson's work
probably will be the opening net spring
of the Yellowstone National park to au
tomobile tourists. The national govern
ment is planning to -widen the roads In
this park and allow autos to travel
through it. Heretofore tourists were al
lowed to travel there only by stage coach
and burro and horse-drawn vehicles.
Fredrlckson and Joseph Shoemaker of
the South Omaha stock yards talked thle
proposition to the people of Utah, Wy
oming and Colorado. "
Shoemaker met with considerable hard
ship, on the last trip, having started 'out
from Omaha In a white suit, white shries,
straw hat and immaculate linen. ' The
party was caught In a cloudburst In Rat
tlesnake pass on 'Rock river and Shoe
maker's clothes were ruined. When the
freshets poured down from the hilltops
and threatened to wash the car from the
road and over the precipice, he was forced
to wade , out in the water and mud up
to his belt and tie the car by a rope to a
tree. He felt more satisfied . with his
fate, however, when;he saw a brldgo in
front of him, wash ' away carrying one
of the party's guides. x , .
There are now three trips for tourists
to . the Yellowstone, 1 all" laid out by the
Commercial club's good roads committee
men one by way of Cheyenne, one via
Rock Springs and the third via Salt Lake
City.
Commercial Clan Thanked.
The staae of Wyoming by its governor,
Joseph M. Carey, has formally, thanked
the 'Commercial club of Ofnahs!" for the
work done by this organization in Wyom
ing in the interest of good roads. The
message of thanks from Governor Carey
is a direct result of the recent trip from
from-Omaha to Salt Lake City made by
the good roads car of the club..
On the first part of the trip from
Omaha to Cheyenne, Wyb., the Omaha
good roads car was occupied by Mayor
James C." Pahlman, G. B. . Haverstlck,
president . of the ; .Commercial club of
Omaha; J. M. Guild, commissioner of the
Commercial . club of Omaha; W. A. De
Bord, member of the Commercial club of
Omaha; George McBride, Douglas county
surveyor, and E. L. Emory of Cheyenne,
Wyb., president of the Wyoming State
Highways association.
On the second half of the trip from
Cheyenne to Salt Lake City H. E. Fred
rlckson and Josepu Shoemaxer, assistant
to E. Buckingham, manager of the
Union Stock Yards company of South
Omaha, represented the Commercial club
of Omaha.
MITCHELL COMPANY
WILL DOUBLE OUTPUT
One of the most enthusiastic meeting
ever held by the distributors of the
Mitchell car has just been closed and the
repre.entatlves returned to their several
homes firm in the belief that they will
easily double their sales with the new
models. So strong was this assurance
that the company has already Issued the
shop orders doubling the output of 1912.
Every section of the United States and
Canada was represented in the gathering
of the 160 distributors, from N'ova Scotia
to British Calumbla and from Maine to
California. '

MAJESTIC. AND OLYMPIC
1913 JACKSON MODELS
The executives cf the Jackson Automo
bile company of Jacksm, Mich., believe
that among all the 1913 models which are
belng.announoed the Jackson Olymplo and
the Jackson Majestic will stand out con
spicuously. The Jackson people may be
pardoned this degree of confidence, for
there are' certain facts that would eeera
to warrant It. ' There are features of the
new Jackson models that will make them
entirely distinctive, 'even In comparison
with the Jacksona that iave gone before.

STRIPPED of all its extra equip
ment, judged on specifications
and construction alone, the R-C-H
would still be in a class of its own
at the price.
This is a statement that you
yourself can easily verify by inspection and
comparison.
Sturdiness, power, beauty, comfort, economy
of operation all are there. ffi
But, in addition, the R-C-H offers you eyei:
accessory essential to motorinOMisfacHQn;
and every item of the highest quality. These .
alone would add several hundred dollars to v'
the cost of the car if you bought them sep
arately at retail. And that's. what you'll have
to do if you buy an unequipped car.
-
Truly, in offering such a car at such a price we are mak
ing history and one of the most wonderful chapters
that the industry has evolved. '
