The Montpelier city council visited the
spur track Of the Barre and Montpelier

wait for authority before laying, and
the members couldn't see amy objection

were inspecting the track an automobile
going % miles an hour passed over the
track. and the road was SO smooth that

this pretty good evidence that the work

INLAND GAINED
ITS POINT i

The Spokane & Inland won q
victory over the o. r. & N. in the
district court at Moscow last night
when Judge Steele handed down q
decision holding that the electric
line had a right to occupy q GER
tain street over which the Harri-
man road claimed sole jurisdiction
ond the ground that it was their
private property.
The court held that the street
had been In use by the public for
so many years that it had really
become public thoroughfare, un-
der the control of The city, which
gave the Inland in it's franchise a
right to occupy 1t.
The point at issue was the build
ing of certain switch by the In
land, which tapped freight traffic
heretofore going to the Hartman
line. In the first stages of the dis
pute the construction crews of the
two companies clashed anIit was
feared serious trouble might re-
suit. An injunction by the court
tied up the war until the point at
issue was judicially settled.

Do you realize that something
like 100000 automobiles are
whizzing about this country?
In every city, town and hamlet;
over every country road and up
the mountain sides, steam, gaso-
line and electric machines are
whirling their human freight every
day in the year. Yes, 100000 of
them are transporting humanity.
Few realize how vast the auto
mobile industry has become. The
machines are so common that the
importance of the business has
been overlooked by the public.
But pause an instant and con-
template some cold facts.
There are 121 establishments
manufacturing automobiles in this
country.
The capital invested is $20,555,-
247.
Officials and clerks employed
draw annually S1,076,425.
The wage earners number 1929.
They earn annually $6,17S,95O.
The annual output is 1852 cars.
An enormous business.
The automobile is no longer
luxury for the very wealthy. 1t
has become a necessity. Not only
the wealthy, but families of mod
crate means find the self propelled
vehicle almost a necessity.
Father goes to the office or to
his factory; mother and daughter
go shopping and the children go
to school in the car. The upkeep
is no greater than the care of a
horse or two, and the mobility of
the automobile makes up for
slight difference.
The automobile has entered al
most every business. Merchants
who formerly maintained dozens
of horses for delivery service have
retired the euuines in favor of
machines. Fire. departments in
some cities use gasoline driven APP
paratus. Gasoline patrol wagons
are common. Farmers drive
| threshers with automobile engines
and go back and forth to town in
their cars.
| 1t is estimated that cars average
| S1250, which would make the 300,-
000 in this country worth 100000
| 600.
American cars cost from 5000
| to $4,000, but the medium priced
car of from $1,000 to $4,000 is most
popular.
Many prefer to purchase second
hand cars. which originally sold for
say, $4,000, and have been used
only about a year, and which may
be purchased for about one third
of their cost, to investing in new
machines. In this way men on
salary are able to maintain high
grade car which they could never
hope to own unless able to buy
them second handed.
Some day, perhaps, when the
market is gluetted automobiles
will come down in price, just as The
bicycle has, and new cars of excel
lent make will be within reach OF
every man, but at present this
seems far away.

FOUND FRIENDS
NOTKN0CKERS

]. L. McClear and p. w, Sander,
a special committee appointed to
make an investigation, reported to
the Occur d'Alene commercial club
last night that the report that Spo-
kane had been knocking Occur
d'Alene in connection with the land
openings was not true and that in
fact the opposite is correct.
The story had gone out that GER
tain interests at Spokane had men
stationed among the crowds at the
depots here urging the strangers
not to go to Occur d'Alene. After
full investigation it was learned
that this report was untrue ana
that Spokane instead is doing what
it can to have people register at the
Occur d'Alene as well as here.
On the suggestion of the Inland
railway officials it was concluded
to open an information booth in the
electric railway station at Spokane
to give strangers such information
as they might need.

From a snapshot of Washington
B. Thomas, president of the Ameri-

under indictment in New York for
conspiracy to restrain trade, and
may be fined $4,000, upon convic-
ton, or sent to Jail for IA years
one year for each count in the

Thomas is a grim looking man.
An unearthly expression of deter
mination-the mark of the men
who have to fight their way to the
top in these days of trust rule;
who disregard every motive but
those that lead to success -
shows in his face.
