The idea of a wood raceway is not a new
ono. During the last year schemes for the
construction of such a track here in the
east have been launched. However, he
different projects did not receive adequate
financial support and were dropped. 1t is
claimed by many auto race sharps that a
wooded roadbed is far superior to the con-
crete type. They claim that the wooden
track is not affected by weather condi-
tons; tina It lasts longer than the con-
crete; that it is far cheaper to build; that
greater speed is possible over 1t and that
the cars are not as apt to skid as on the
regular tracks.
However,, the only way to get any tangi-
Bile ideas Of the relative merits of the con-
crete and wooden roadbed will be to COM
pare the success of the Atlantic speedway
meeting with that attendance upon the Los
Angeles motordrome, provided the latter
project Is realized,

PLANNING A CLEAN GARAGE
what Experience Has shown to he
Necessary to Achieve the De-
sired End.

Cleanliness in the garage is essential to
the well-being of ones car. Next to that,
cleanliness in keeping the car is most to
be desired. The first of these two lmpor-
tant points can only be secured when plan
ming the building, and it is one that the
owner will do well to look out for.
The draining of the floor should always
incline toward the center, and should be
of a cesspool pattern. Below the opening
there should be a receptacle to catch ali
grease and dirt, and with It a grit chamber.
These should be carefully looked after, so
as to guard against any obstruction.
A good thing to keep the garage floor
clean is a hot, saturated solution of COM
mon washing soda, which can, If wanted
for use frequently. be made up in large
quantities and stored away. II this is
done, however, the solution must be re-
heated to about boiling point before max
ing use OF II. This will, OF course, be too
hot for the hands, so that al old broom or
brush should be utilized to spread it
around.
Another preparation as good. It not bet
ter, that can be used for this purpose, is
"trisulphate Of sodium, which can be Sc
cured from several chemical companies,
priced at from 4 to 8 cents per pound. This
solution, although strong enough TO Ie-
move paint, can be frequently used foF
the hands with impunity. II is more con
venient than the first solution in that il
can be used cold.
For cleaning the body Of a car, the use
OF needlessly strong alkali soap and failure
to dry the vanished surface perfectly, Is
responsible for a great deal Of the injurS
done to a cars paint. As a matter of fact
neither soap nor water should ever l.,
used on the car above the under sides of the
mudgards, except where the mud is caket
on the body in large quantities.
In most cars the first signs of wear OF
the painted portion Invariably show OF
the vanished surface Of the engine bonnie
This is due to the fact that it is frequent,
covered with mud on the return from a ruI
and is then washed with soapy water Will
the metal II still hot. Soap should not b,
used on the bonnet until IL has cooled. m,
even then should be carefully washed OFF
After a number OF washings while tn.
bonnet is stll hot, the injurious effect 4
quite noticeable, and within a short perio,
the car has to be repainted, long befor
its legitimate time.
The problem u clean hands is frequent,
a difficult question with owners OF auto
who do any OF their own driving or e
pairing. The use Of a mixture Of soa.

AUTO TRACKS ARE COMING
Motordromes Planned to Be Built
from Coast to Coast.
RACING PROVES VERY POPULAR
when Tracks Are Built Contests
VIII he Held in All Of the
Leading Cities of the
unit

NEW YORK, Dec. present in
dications IL will not be long before the
omobi world will see a chain of motor
dromes extending FROM coast to coast. AT
present there are circular auto sDeedways
at Atlanta and Indianapolis. Plans have
been completed for similar structures near
this city and at Detroit. 1t is understood,
that a strong movement is under way in
Chicago to provide that city with a motor
drome and now comes the news that work
will be started on a big Los Angeles track
within the next week. In the event OF all
the proposed motordromes being completed
T. will give this country a well-linked
chain for circular-track speed contests.
Reports from the far coast state that a
combination Of Los Angeles and eastern
capitalists are behind the project. 1t is
said that the California motordrome will
be a most pretenuous plant. A special
effort will be made to nave the structure
completed in about three months. Plans
have been made to stage the opening speed
pageant next April. The hurried construc-
ton OF the track is made necessary by the
fact that weeks of testing will be necessary
before the formal opening.
The present plans call Tor a circular
track. II will be of the saucer" type,
special attention being paid to the banking
at the turns. The track will be one mile
In circumference. With the adopting of
plans calling for a wood roadbed the
promoters made a decided departure from
the usual line followed in motordrome con-
struction. The track will be built OF heavy
timbers, planked with finished lumber. The
banking all the way round will be so steep
as to permit of 30 miles an hour speed
with comparative safety.
While the definite data % tho onaninn
meeting has not yet been decided, there
appears to be no question but that It will
be held next April. II present plans do not

Attorney A. L. Knauf closed a deal
few days ago whereby he disposes
of his lot and building on Main street,

the Scandinavian American Trust
company. The consideration was
seven thousand dollars. The new
company are to take possession Janu-

building formerly occupied by N. B.

Knauf property would give them a
better location. We understand that
they will improve the front of the
building now on the lot and use this
for year or two before building q

GREAT SUCCESS
AS n. D. FARMER
CARL JOHNSON OF NESS0N, BY GOOD
FARMING MAKES HIMSELF
INDEPENDENT

Carl J. johnson of Nesson was tran.
sacting business in Williston the first
of the week. Mr.. Johnson is one of
our real substantial farmers and owes
his success to steady hard work. He
came to this country about ten years
ago with practically nothing. He took
q claim in the Nesson Valley and gave
it his undivided attention during the
summer. During the first few years
he worked for other farmers in the
neighborhood during the winter
months but his strict attention to
farming during the summer soon made
him independent. In few years he
bought farm adjoining him and this
year he raised 1900 bushels Of wheat.
While in the city this week he closed
a deal for another quarter section of
kand adjoining his farm and is now
the proud owner of one Of the finest
farms in the northwest.

BASKET BALL
GAME CLOSE
GAME MONDAY NIGHT BETWEEN HIGH
SCHOOL AND ALUMNI CLOSE
DANCE AFTER GAME

On Monday evening the first basket
ball game of the season was played
between the High school team and
the Alumni from last years class who
are now attending the university. Il
was a very closely contested game
from start to finish. Several times
during the game the score was tie
and each side took turn at leading.
The utmost good nature prevailed
throughout the game and all the
players seemed to have good time
The game started with a rush and
a scramble and for little while #
seemed as though neither side could
make basket. The alumni were the,
first to score and showed during the.
first half of twenty-five minutes that
they could keep the lead on their
opponents. At the end Of the first
half the score stood to 4 in favor
of the alumni. ss
The second half was an exhibition
of very strenuous basket ball, some,
of the spectators even thinking ft
was football. The refee. Geo. John
son, however, got into the game when
it got into too much of a scramble and,
parting the combatants, succeeded I'm
getting the game going again. The
High school here showed its season
training in football and finally after
a hard struggle pushed the score q
little beyond the reach of the alumni
and the game ended with final score
of 12 to Is in favor of the High school.
The Williston spectators stood 10y
ally by the High school as was evf-
denced by the one-sided roofing. The
friends and classmates of the 1900
boys cheered the alumni Justify 30

With the closing date of the
Graphic's Great Garden Home
contest but 80 days off it behooves
the contestants to get busy and for
each one to put forth their best ef-
fort to win this fine FIVE acre tract.
No one ever won a home by half
hearted effort. Many men and
women have suffered a great deal
in proving up claims on the North
Dakota prairies and then, in many
cases, not have as valuable q piece
of land as this five acre tract. In
a contest of this kind the head
prize is such valuable one it does
not pay for q contestant to be idle
for even a short time. You can
never tell what the other ones are
doing or how many votes they are

ONLY TWO MORE DAYS AND THEN
CHRISTMAS AND CHILDREN LOOK
ING FOR SANTA CLAUS

With Christmas only two days of
the shoppers are still very busy and
the forces in the different stores in
the city are kept on the jump to take
care of the customers. Tomorrow
evening and Saturday the Christmas
festivity and good cheer, which comes
but once a year, will be at its height
and then the stores, schools and all
business houses will be practically
deserted and the homes filled with
family gatherings and holiday guests.
To the children Christmas day is
looked forward to with more anxiety
and joyous expectation than any other
day in the year and by the time
Christmas eve rolls around their
hearts are bubbling over with Joy in
the thought Of what the morning will
bring. The Christmas tree affords
the children a great deal of pleasure
but we believe that there is more
real enjoyment, both for the children
and for their parents, in the good
old fashioned custom of hanging up
the stocking. From the time the
stocking is hung up until morning the
little ones slumber is filled with
happy dreams of Santa" and his
pack and of the many long wished for
things that they are sure to find
in the morning. Before the peep of
day, and when they think Santa
has had time to fill their stockings
and get back up the chimney, the lit.
tie ones are up, examining their gifts
and carrying them for inspection to
drowsy papa and mama.
Yes, Christmas is indeed a day Of
good cheer, day upon which every
one should be happy, forgive their
enemies and thank God for the bless
ings received during the past year.
