is impossible to get some horses accUs-
toned TO them, besides having most
harmful effect on sick and nervous peO-
pie. In the country where l live there
is a constant succession of these
screaming, bowling, discOTdant noises
during the summer, all the more in
tOler3ble because they are entirely I'M
necessary.
The Old-fashioned horn which sens
ibie people use. is far more adequate,
and is not unpleasant. Then, it does
not brighten horses, waken sleeping
babies for tired mothers and make the
whole countryside disCOTdaut and hide

it with automobiles and know what is
coming. Here is an instance Of a man
hearing what he supposed was the
scream Of a child in distress. Stopping
his carriage, he narrowly escaped be

who were using some COntrivance that
made this noise, instead Of sensible
and proper signal.
Again, I had a sick child; it was
most important that he should sleep,
but these devilish noises would con-
stantly waken and distress him, and
this is only one of hundreds Of similar
instances. There are many owners OF
automobiles who try to be COnsideTate
Of the rights of others. These do much
to make other users of the highway try
to bear the discomfoTts which autOmO-

Is National Industry.

Considering automobile making as
national industry il is worth noting
that the National Grange, the big ag
gregatiOn of farmers with a member
ship of more than a million, is advO-
eating the passage of a federal good
roads bill having for its purpose ma
tiOnal aid for roads throughout the
country This is in line with the ma
tionaI idea that the building of roads
should be encouraged by the national
government and appropriations made
for that purpose, the same as for rivers
and harbOrs. The farmer has always
been an important factor in road I'M
provements, and now that he is using
the automobile he is stronger than ever
all tending toward the recognition of
motor car building as a natural in
dustTy.
Mr.. Reeves predicts 100000 cars Will
be built in 1910, but this is believed BY
most makers to be $4,000 or 10000 too
many.

OBJECTS TO LOUD
SIGNAL DEVICES
Resident of Country District
Recommends Uniform
Auto Horn.

To the other objections of automobiles
by nom users is brought the charge that
unnecessarily loud and annoying signal
devices are becoming too common. A
citizen Of Provo, in a letter to the Utah
Motor club, goes to the extent of say
ing that for this and other reasons a
sentiment is developing among the
country people in favor of keeping roads
in poor repair I'm order to discourage
automobile traffic.
LAS your organization seems to stand
for proper and reasonable use of auto
mobiles on the public highways" he
writes, Il ask you to use your influence
to suppress the use of freak signals on
motor cars. These range from an ear
piercing screeCh to something like a
death rattle-in fact, anything that any
irresponsible person chooses to use, pro-
vided it is hideOus and unpleasant. 1t

OF course. the paint may have been
worn off in places, but this can easily
be remedied.
There is no reason why every man
in the city of Salt Lake could not af-
ford TO buy one of these cars. Surely
the average man has the necessary 500
for deposit, and by mOrtgaging his
car he can soon raise the rest of the
money"
There are other cheap cars at the
show. too. The Billy Four" sold by
Carl Horst, can be purchased for $3.50.
Mr. Horst was disappointed in his
shipments of "Billies," but nevertheless
he reports that several have been sold.
The HupmObile can be purchased in
Salt Lake for 500. According to \. L.
Savage this is all that could be wanted
in a car. Il can go thirty to thirty
five miles per hour, and for the use
by doctors and business man, it hasn't
rival
Looking upon the other side, the big,
powerful, mighty Chadwick. with its
sixty horsepower and its records for
speed, is quite a contrast from the REQ
KiddO' or the BILLY Four" The big
fellow sells for $4,000, and considering
the power plant aboard, its classy ap-
pearanCe and endurance, it is worth it.
OF course, this is not car for the
average man. 1t is made for the people
with money. The REQ Kiddo" could
almost be carried on the back seat of
the Chadwick. 1t can cover four miles
of distance to the REQ kiddos' one
and seven passengers TO the smaller
machines two.
Then there are the great number of
machines that are selling for prices
between the two. "A machine is here

CARS ARE BEING SOLD
Tom Botterill Company Has Disposed
of Two Machines Since Auto
Show 0Dened

Frank BotteTiIl. manager of the Tom
BOtterill Automobile company, announced
yesterday that since the starting of the
show he has sold $4,000 worth of cars.
This is more than was expected by that
company, as their real purpose in exhibit
ing was to advertise, and not to sell,
cars.
Il am more than pleased with my end
of the show" said Mr.. Botterill. I'VE
have sold $4,000 worth of cars, which is
more than I anticipated at this stage of
the game.
1T has been the purpose of this exhi-
bition to advertise the lines of cars han
died by the company, not to sell. But
we have sold them despite our intentions.
True the $4,000 represents but two cars,
vet even that is not to be scoffed att
The Botterill booth is one of the best
at the show. Like Sam Sharman, Mr..
Botterill has succeeded in crowding in
eight cars, with one chassis. The total
value of the cars represented in this
booth approximates $4,000.

MICHIGAN IS KING
Of AUTO INDUSTRY
viii Produce Not Less Than
100000 Cars During
This Year.

New York, Feb. 21.-AutOmobile MAX
ing is now a national industry and on
a par with any other line of manufac-
turing in America. This was evidenced
by the tenth international automobile
show at Grand Central palace, where
325 exhibitors showed products from
every nook and corner of the United
States, says Alfred Reeves, general
manager American Motor Car Manu-
factuTeTs' association.
That the industry is national is
proved, too, by statistics showing the
millions of dollars of capital involved,
the thousands of cars made and sold,
and the thousands of automobile and
automobile parts factories.
The 1910 cars will be made in twenty
one different states by 263 makers, To-
Gated as follows:
Michigan, AZ; Illinois, 80; Indiana, 80;
Ohio, 80; New York, %; Pennsylvania,
Is; Massachusetts, Il; Missouri, y;
Connecticut, 10; Iowa, I; Minnesota, 6;
Wisconsin, 6; New Jersey, +; Rhode
Island, 3; Nebraska, 2; Maryland, 2;
Colorado, /; Nevada, /; Texas, l; Kan
sas, l.
OF this number it may be stated that
100 are legitimate makers turning out
cars that will be factors In the market
| Seventy-five others produce less than
/ seventy-five cars each, and are little
/ heard Of, while the remainder may be
/ considered beginners, whose products
may not get beyond the experimental
state. New York, for example, although
credited with twenty-three makers, has
not more than ten substantial automO-
bile factories.
Taking eighty Of these leading max
ers and compiling their estimate for
1910, coupled with the reports from
the parts makers and the inspection
made while visiting siXty-twO prOmi-
nent factories last spring, shows that
| the cars for this year will be divided
| primarily among the five states.
Some of Leading States.
Michigan is king, for in 1910 it will
| produce not less than 102, 600 motor cars.
| Illinois will turn out 1890. Indiana,
! 21,025; Ohio, %, $50; Wisconsin, 11,OOO;
! New York, 10, 400; Massachusetts, 400;
Pennsylvania, $3.50; Connecticut, 2,100.
When it is taken into consideration
that the capital involved is between
! $50, 10000 and $40, 900, that there
are $500 agents for motor cars through
out the country maintaining garages
and saIesroOms, the whole employing
more than 100000 employees, no one can
deny that the making of automobiles is
now one of Americas most important
/ Industries.
With the rapid growth Of the auto

VELIE BOOSTER IS
ON THE lob HERE
He Challenges High Prices and
Tells Why His Car
Is Good.

c. P. Halter, representative of the
Velie Motor Vehicle company, arrived
in town last night and was seen during
the first hours of the show yesterday
explaining the merits and workings of
the Velie at the Consolidated Wagon &
Machine company's booth. Mr.. Halter
has been with the Velie company since
its opening, and is one Of the best
versed men in the country upon the
automobile.
The days of the high priced cars
are over" he said. People can no
longer be found who are willing to pay
$4,000 to $4,000 for a car. It is a fact
that the demand for medium priced
cars during the last year and of the
present year has exceeded twice the
demand for the higher price machines.
Racing and the expenses incidental
to the cost Of drivers and special cars
are the cause Of most of the high cost
in the $4,000 to $4,000 cars. The VeIie
people have never believed in this
method of advertising, and all of the
money brought in through the sale Of
the Velies is used to make the car the
best that is made for the money. None
of it is used to build special cars for
racing or for high salaries to famous
drivers.
Makes Only One Car.
zone fact in favor of the Vele is
that the Orty-hOrsepOwer Velie is the
only car that is made by the company.
The VeHe company does not make a
car of this type and another of that,
but they concentrate all efforts into the
making Of one car. In that way we
can produce the best car that is being
sold in the United States under SO, 600
The company has recenrTy purchased

sells i'm Salt Lake for S2,025. This in
cludes everything, and the purchaser,
when he buys a Velie, will not have to
spend hundreds of dollars to have it
equipped. I challenge any dealer in
Salt Lake to show me a car, selling for
$500 or under, that gives more value
than the Vele."

pie to keep the roads as bad as possible
as their own protection. Such abuses
as 1 am writing about can only do harm
to decent motorists, and I feel sure the
automobile club Will use its good in
fIuence 70 correct it."

TWO SALOONS CLOSED

Two saloons closed at midnight
Thursday in pursuance of the peo-
pies will expressed at the polls in
the local option election, and one
more will conduct business for an
other month.
The Turf Exchange owned by H. G.
DIPPED and the Gem owned by F. w.
Murphey are the ones whose licenses
expire with the end of March and
the Office owned by Cowles & Price
will close with the end of April.
People who want to make observa-
tions of their own about drunkenness
under different conditions have
good opportunity for comparisons at
this time.
The citizens and officers of the law
have been remarking how much more
quiet and orderly things have been
about the corner of Bridge and Tay-
lor streets since the Gesas saloon
closed, and the disorder at the dances
in Progress hall has diminished great
ly. What was one of the worst dens
in town for drunken and disorderly
men, has simply ceased to exist In
the sense of requiring police patrol.
The other saloons have been no worse
since the closing of the Gesas saloon,
and during the next thirty days there
will be an opportunity to observe the
effect of having the business centrlai-
zed in one saloon instead Of scatter
ed among competing firms.

AGITATING FOR A UNION

l.. M. Christensen of Pocatello
was here last Friday to see If he
could organize brick layers union
in Blackfoot. e..
When asked as to the purpose in
organizing he said it was to get bet
ter wages for the masons. Then this
question was put to him: Don't you
think it would be more consistent
with the needs Of the masons and
the community in general to send
somebody here to teach the masons
how to do really good, neat work
than to be agitatirg for high
er pay for such work as most Of them
have been doing?
He replied that so many of the
masons are incompetent that it is the
purpose of the union to let only the
competent ones work, and to see that
they receive sufficient pay. That un-
der this arrangement the public
would get more for their money than
they do now. He did not explain
how they determine who is compe-
tent, but rushed off to find workmen
who would join a union-probably
not worrying at all as to their COM
petenCy
