specially adapted for use In q noun

of one hundred and twenty miles, the
machine purchased by Mr.. Biggs made
the trip with a consumption OF little
over sixteen quarts Of gasoline, or
one gallon for each thirty miles trav-

marvellous performance. Ordinarily.
however, the Colburn uses about one
gallon of gasoline In a run Of twenty
miles.
Harlod Brinker, who holds the auto
record for the run between the two

INTERESTING RAILROAD MEET.
ING ON LINCOLN PARK

The public melting at the Mckinley
school building on Lincoln Park Fri
day night to discuss matters in re-
lation to the construction OF the Kan
sas-Colorado electric line through
that suburb was a most interesting
one and was we'll attended consider
ing the fast but little publicity had
been given to the matter.
Rev. Allan Bell recently elected a
member Of the general assembly. was
made chairman Of the meeting and J.
P. Farmer, secretary. The gathering
was called by the railroad company
for the purpose OF ascertaining
whether the people on the south side
OF the river really desired the road or
not, II so, what they were willing to
do in a material way to promote Its
success.
If any doubt existed that property
owners on Lincoln Park and South
Canon were not favorable to the pro-
posed enterprise 1t was dlspelled by
Friday nights meeting. which placed
itself upon record as being enthu-
siastic for the prorC s.tion and willing
TO encorage it in every possible way.
The opinion was expressed that the
right OF way could be secured with
out cost to the company and that
whatever assistance was needed to
assure the building Of the road would
be forthcoming at the proper time.
President Atwater, Henry Hutton
and other representatives OF the COM
pany were present and outlined the
Intentions in relation to the road.
which were such as to commend
themselves to the people living In
that locality. The road will branch
at Brewster; one portion Of It coming
up on the north side Of the river, and
the other through Lincoln Park and
South Canon, thus completing . loop
that will connect all parts Of the COM
mpnity. It Ii probable that the river
will be crossed on q viaduct ut either
First or Fourth streets. but that II .
question to be determined later.
On motion chairman Bell was In
structed to appoint an executive COM
mittee Of five members to look after
the right of way and other matterr
involved In the arrangements for the
contemplated railway. The person
mel OF the COMMITTEES was not an
nounced, but will be made public ~
