money spent in the United States
each year which goes to defray the
expenses of luxuries inbibed in by
the wealthy classes. One of the most
extravagant Injuries of modern times
is the automobile, while at the same
time it is one of the. most servicable
of latest inventions. 1t has increased
the travelling facilities of the coun-
try to a decided extent and for the
use of the people whose time is limited
there is no greater time saver invent
ed. Among. the medical profession es-
pecially it is a most desirable con-
veyance and much time is saved and
much suffering eliminated. -
The first automobile made by R.
E. Olds in the year. 1893 and since
that time there has been a grea; many
improvements added, to the machine
bearing his name and there are also
great many other makes of high
grade machines on the market Just
recently the machine that was the
first one made was being run by Mr..
Olds in New York City and he was
fined for going over&the speed limit
and it must be understood that this
machine has only a.speed capacity of
twelve miles an hour.
We venture to say$$that there is not
a town in the state that can boast of
as many high grade machines as
Devils Lake when the population is
taken into consideration and it is pre-
dicted that by the middle of July there
will be a larger number of machines
here than any town of its size in the
state. At present there are twenty
seven high grade machines here and
there will at least be ten or fifteen
added to that number before the sum-
mer is past. The fine roads in this
state make the travelling easy and en-
joyable and the people who can afford
the pleasure of machine find plenty
of enjoyable trips out from this city.
Mr. Michael Dohney owns fine
Buick, "a horse power touring car and
finds great pleasure travelling over
the excellent roads which lead in all
directions out from Devils Lake, and
almost every day he$can be seen ariv-
ing his machine at aFapid clip around
the city. 3=;55s.
Sam Wineman has the same kind Of
machine as Mr.. Dohney and he says
4: that it would be almost impossible to
do without it now He also owns an
Orient runabout which gets its share
of travelling, but the Buick is the ma.
chine which is used on special occa.
sions and when Sam takes the ladies
out riding this is the machine that is
preferred. s.g' @#
| The Buick seems to be the favorite
machine as Mr.. Clark Kelly also has
one, as has G. E. Burgess Their ma
chimes are twenty-four horse power
and they can hit up lively clip with
them when necessary. Mr.. Burgess
though does not think much of thu
speed proposition as he: wishes fol
the increase of the population O
Devils Lake, and Mr.. Kelly wouldn'
speed his machine for fear of killing
someone's pet TERROR. ,,5s $g= =s*5,.e
