POPULARITY OF MOTOR CARS
DUE TO DELIGHTS or SPORT.
OF SPEED
Machines Equipped With Gears for
Bad Roads and Htlls-Expianation
Of Horse Power on Gas Engines
pastims 10 Hsalthfui.

Mtomobiling for pleasure is one of
Me most exciting Of pastimes, accord
ing to we'll known authorities. The
delight of being whirled over the
ground, or rather through thes air at
the speed Of an express train is exhtl-
Grating inathe extreme To the driver
it is exceptionally enjoyable, to know
that he has perfect control Of the lit
tie engines and the mechanism that
is carrying him at. a speed that is, only
equalled by q locomotive.
Medical authorities agree that mo
within reasonable limits Is one
of the most healthful forms Of amuse-
ment that can be INDUCED in. The de
lights of riding and the fascination
for the sport grow on a person, and
this is probably responsible for the
popularity Of the automobile.
BY the way, it is a little strange, but
no less a fact, as noted by motorists,
that when out for a trip and one ar
rives in q village or town, n Of the
first questions asked him is, How
long did it take you to cover the dis.
|tance?" Quite a large number Of per-
sons think that just because a a can
run So, 5Osor more miles an hour, 1t is
strange that the driver does not run
the machine at that rate Of speed all
the time. What Is true of other ma
chinery, as well as OF horses, is true
Of the automobile
Speed Limits.
Yoou may have q driving horse that
can make a mile in three minutes, but
do you drive him all the time at that
rate OF speed? A feed grinter may
have a capacity, If speeded up, OF
grinding 20 bushels Of feed an hour,
but the maker and owner know from
experience that successful and eco.
nomical operation requires that 1t be
not run over 10 bushels an hour.
While 1t is "a fact that automobiles
are regularly made for the market
that will run up to Is miles an hour,
1t Is also true that that same machine
can not be run continuously and sue.
cessfully at anywhere near that rate
Of speed.
Especially Is this true on the indif.
ferent roads we have in this country,
Compared with the speed that a cal
will make 1t really seems that the time
1t takes between two points. is long
But one should remember that even
when there is a stretch Of road that
allows speeding up to Is or 80 miles
an hour or more. it is nearly always
found that soon thereafter will be
found place where it is necessary t.
reduce the speed to, quite often, as
low as two miles an hour. It does moi
take a very long piece of rough road
to put a man back a mile or two when
he has to come down to that speed.
1t is a very rare chance on Montana
roads to average. over Is miles n
hour. In fact, for a run Of 100 mile:
or so that it is an exceptionally higt
average. When a8person exceeds thai
speed on the local roads, It Is pretty
safe to figure that the repair man vii
soon get a job.
Grades Make Difference.
Another thing that some people
lose sight Of, is the question of max
ing a given speed no matter what thu
grades OF the road travelled over. They
seem to think that when q maker ad

Horse Power Explained.
The number Of people who have a
misapprehension as to what a horse
power IL as applied to engines or mo.
tors, IL surprising. They seem to
think that q 20-horse power motor
should pull as much as 30 horses. The

one horse power is sufficient to raise

TIN DEATH OF HIS WIFE.
A RESPECTED CITIZEN
Nervous Strain occasioned BY illness
and Death Of His Wife Causes
peath-Many Friends in This Sec
ton.
From Sundays Daily.

From Sundays Daily.
Major C. H. Barstow, an old time,
resident and respected citizen of this
section, passed to the great beyond
Friday night, within a few hours OF
the death of his wife, which occurred
Thursday morning. Nervous prostra-;
ton following the great nervous strain
he was subjected to during Mrs. Bar
slows Illness, and after her death was
the cause of his demise.
Mr.. Barstow had been in constant
attendance on his wife for the past
year and being a man of a nervous
temperament, this told on his consti-
tuition.
Friday evening he appeared to be
all right, although the effects of his
recent bereavement were to be seen
and after leaving his apartments in
the Healy house he came up town and
ate supper at one of the restaurants.
Soon after he returned to the Healy
house and had. scarcely reached his
apartment when he fell over in q
faint.
"A doctor was hastily called and on
his arrival he found that Mr.. Barstow
had gone into a fit of Mysteries, and
it was necessary to ecure the ser
vices OF four men to hold him on his
bed. "A few hours afterward he was
removed to the hospital, where he died
about 1880 Friday night.
pioneer Resident.
Major Barstow has been a resident
OF this section Of the state for the
last quarter Of a century. He was IS
a old at the time of his death. For
many years he was chief clerk in the
Indian department at Grow Agency
and about u years ago left the SER
vice Of the government and came to
this city to live. Later he purchased
q ranch on the Saltwater g Absar-
okee and several months ago moved
to Billings again..
He was a nan of exceptional talent
and good education. His courtly man
ners and open he~artedness made
friends for him Of all WITH whom he
came in contact. Being Of wide ac-
quaintance and well thought Of by all,
his death brings sorrow to many be-
sides the bereaved members of his
family. @
Funeral arrangements have not
been completed, pending word from a
brother, Rodger Barstow, who lives in
Massachusetts and who was notified OF
MI. Barstow's death by wire Friday
night. Besides a brother, he leaves q
daughter, Miss Elizabeth Barstow, who
has suffered a double bereavement.
