Down-Pilot Returns from RawIins
and Talks of the Pleasures of tn,
Long Trip.

Elmer LovejOy of this city, who pill.
oted the American car in the New
York-to-Paris race from Cheyenne -
Rawlins, returned to this city last
night, having left the party at Raw
Inns upon their arrival at noon yes
terday. Mr.. Lovejoy says part of the
road was splendid, but that from Meii-
cine Bow on to Rawlins there was con.
siderable trouble from snow, the party
having 10 spend the night at Walcott,
going TO Rawlins yesterday. The REQ
car, which acted as the pilot for the
great Thomas, behaved beautifully,
blowing through drifts and opening the
way for the racer. The latter was
stalled a time or two, but managed
county capital.
Snow Hid the bitches.
Mr.. Loyejoy says the most trouble
the party experienced was from hid
den bitches and holes in the road, the
snow filling them up and the wheels
finding them unawares. The REQ at
one time was in a ditch several inches
deep and Mr.. Lovejoy was in a drift
ahead about a mile high, he not having
stopped when the car did. The ma
chimes pulled through finally and cross
ed the ice at Fort steele, the Maxwell
car driven by Will Goodale leaving TIA
other two at Hanna, from whence it
will be brought to this city. Mr.. Good
ale was able TO keep up with the 9TH
ers until reaching that point, declining,
however, to risk breaking his a in
a further trip.
Guide" Lost the Way.
A guide" was sent from Rawlins
to Medicine Bow to take the American
into Rawlins, but he confessed that he
did not know the road, and Mr.. SchIs-
ter declined to permit Mr.. Lovejoy .
leave them at that point. The latter
went on to Rawlins, the guide" hay
ing lost the road within the first few
miles after taking his place in the
Thomas.
Says Hanson is Fraud.
An eastern paper received by War
rem Beltz last afternoon contained an
item that one of the French racers
had denounced Captain Hanson of The
American car as a fraud, declaring that
he was not an arctic explorer at all

colors. The captain had gone when
the clipping came and just what he
had to say was not known here. An AS
ISOLATED Press dispatch to The Repub-
lican states that the Italian car was ex-
peted at Cheyenne at loon today, hav-
ward during the night. The full &C
count of the progress of the cars Is

A Dollar OF Two.

Perhaps it may be more than q
dollar or two, but we say a dollar Or
two just to call the attention Of our
delinquents to what they owe on
subscription. However much we
regret to say SO, circumstances with
the editor of this paper for the past
twelve months have been such that
we are under a peculiar necessity
now of urging all who owe us to
make as prompt settlement as pos
sible. During the years of 1907 and
1903 this paper has been run at much
more personal expense to the editor
than for an equal period during the
past tWenty-one years. Many Of our
readers doubtless remember that
during a greater part of 1907 the
editor was kept from the office by
reason of personal illness.
Certain consequences over which
we had no control have followed this
state Of affairs and we are now
greatly in need of every dime that is
due US.
Under all these very trying cir
cumstances we have made effort to
send out the very best paper possible
and we urge those who owe US to
come to our rescue by settling their
accounts.
Kind reader, you may think that
the dollar or the two dollars you owe
us will make little difference wheth-
err paid or not paid, but we beg you
to remember that perhaps hundreds
of others are thinking the same
thing. All these small amounts put
together mean much to US. We
shall thank all who owe us to heed
this appeal by bringing or sending
us the amounts they owe. whether
one, two, three or more dollars.
Please do not disregard this appeal1
Attend to it to-day.
Settle up now.
