We Missed IL.

The Free Press urged the people Of
Havs to get out the band in their grand
stand and to decorate their stores and
buildings when the Glidden autos went
through to show them that we had the
best town in western Kansas ard to
get into their rememhrsrces and COM
plimentarv notices. But few did so,
and as trey there were $50 business
men and many reporters with the tour
lets or their trip, we last the best
chance of our lives for boom for the
town. AS a conse quence we only got
a passing notice bv the Press boys. and
nothing to show that this was the
growing town of Western Kansas. II
always pays to be exceedingly nice TO
strangers who honor your town with
to have them stop. The officers at
Fl Riley sent them a special invit .tion
to stop there for an hour. see the great
fort, the troops drill. and have lunch
con, but they couldn't even stop to
shake hands They were not Ike Havs
on the list of stopping places Neither
was Topeka.
Here is what the Salina Journal says,
and we should have had lots of notices
in those dispatches:
ftSslina was a News Center.'
'About twenty representatives of
newspapers were with the Glidder
tourists. Most of the large papers in
the east were represented. The Salina
Journal office was busy piece. About
a dozen gathered at this office to write
their stories in addition to about that
many others who wrote at the Western
Union office.
The Western Union company had
three additional operators here last
night to handle the stuff, besides

companies the tourists. They were all

The cIidden Auto Tour

Is over for another year. the cars hav-
ing arrived in Kansas City last Friday
afternoon on time and were given a
grand reception by an immense crowd.
After a ride of over $500 miles. eight
of the cars came in with perfect re-
cord, with not bolt or anything broken
in that long trip, while several others
were penaIized for some little matter,
which fully demonstrates that cars can
leave the east and make the trip to the
Colorado mountains with certainty of
getting there and home in their autos.
As Mr.. Glidden, the trophy man says:
''Tbis trip is going to demonstrate to
eastern people this fact and hereafter
many gentleman will take their fami-
lies for a summer trip to the mountains
instead of to the east or the hot lakes. "
Frank B. Hover, chairman of the
American Automobile Association, I'M
der whose auspicies the tour was held
was impressed with the roads. He
says: Undoubtedly the best roads
found on any day of the tour, which
started at Detroit July II, were those
lying between Oakley, Kas. and Salina,
Kas. The running schedule that day
was ten hours for the 200 miles and
the drivers made ''joy" ride out of
it. Mile after mile was reeled off with
the throttles wide open. Across the
Kansas line the sod houses began to
grow fewer and an occasional field OF
alfalfa was seen. Gradually the cult
walton of land became more frequently
visible until on the second day in KaE-
sas, between Oakley and Salina, the
tourists were permitted to gaze upon
the richest wheat country in the world
At Ellis and Hays and other Western
Kansas towns the GIiddenites were met
out on the road by delegations In
motors and it was no infrequent occur
renee to meet farmer in his overails
hiking to town in his car. These farm
ers were just as great motor "bugs
as the persons in the tour, too, the
best evidence of it being in the well
cared for roads along their farms. "
'It was a regular holiday for the
towns and the farmers along the route.
The towns turned out their full popu-
lations to welcome the tourists, and
the tourists say the roads were literally
strung with farmers, some Of which
drove many miles TO see the cars pass
by. The route was changed between
Havs and Russell on account OF two
bridges being washed out by recent
heavy rains. This made several miles
oXtra.
It has cost on an average of $4,000
a dav to make this tour. 1t is the
same as one car travelling 1O5 600 miles
and 10. 800 gallons of gasoline was con
sumed on the trip.
He announced that he hoped the
tour would be from the Atlantic to the
Pacific ocean next year.

Altogether these vast areas in cen
trail Asia which are capable OF irriga-
ton afford most attractive conditions
for human life. Since the soil has not
been leached by constant rains, the
fertile elements remain In concen-
trated from, so as to afford crops far
greater than can be produced by the
broad cultivation necessary to obtain
remunerative results where the rain
part of Europe and the eastern United
States. One acre OF the irrigated silt
at the base OF the Tian Shan noun
tains is worth three acres Of the aver
age soil on farms in the middle states
of America. Prof. Hilgard has recent
ly commented upon this richness OF
the soil in accounting for the fact that
all of the early centers OF civilization
were In irrigated areas. Instances of
this are the valleys of the Nile. the
Euphrates and, he might have added,
OF the Murghab. the Oxus, the Zeraf-
shan and the Jaxartes. When the az.
riculturist considers also the certainty
OF the water supply furnished by the
melting SHOWS on such lofty noun
tains, he cannot fell to be thankful
that he is not dependent upon fitful
showers OF rain for the growth OF his
crops, but can look with unfailing con.
fidence to the murmuring streams
which flow through the irrigated canals
which distribute the life-giving ele-
ment far and wide.
Another advantage of this irrigated
belt is the almost perpetual sunshine.
which relieves the inhabitants from
fear OF the loss OF crops by mildew
and which enables them, even in
winter weather, to utilize the warmth
OF the direct rays of the sun in So
curing their bodily comfort. The de
mand for fuel to drive away the dis
comforts OF winter is thus reduced to
the lowest point. The famous bazaar
In Tashkent occupies several miles OF
the ordinary streets, which during the
summer months are made comfortable
by a shading of mating stretched
across network OF beams which
cover the roadway. With this per
petual sunshine. abundance OF pure
water, great fertility of soil, the line
OF cities along the base OF the Tiar
Shan mountains presents the most at
tractive centers of habitation which
can be imagined.
