CENTENARIAN HOBsEMAN.
Wisconsin Man fOA Years Old
Who Drives In Races.

Dad" Walsh Plymouth, Wis. who

Wfish. mayor OF West Aiiis, has the
distinction Of being the Oldest horse
man in the country.
Dad" is 104 years old. Less than
two years ago he drove one OF his
horses in a regular race He is known
by horse trainers from coast to coast,
having made many trips around the
racing circuits.

first heat had been finished ana the
horse had crossed under the wire in
the ruck, Dad" rushed out upon the
track and urbraided the driver When
it came time for the second heat he

oily, as the horse appeared TO have
the other racers outclassed.
Mr.. Walsh was born in ireland. He
came to this country AZ years ago and
settled in Plymouth.
Despite the TACT that century and
more has rolled over his head, Dad
is far from feeble and decrepit old

furrowed his face and thinned his
hair, perhaps, they have not dimmed
his faculties.

CHURCH HAS A BELL,
Fire Boil for Emergency, Church
I;elI for Regular Duty.


Rev. VILLAS has been doing a
good lot of carpenter work for the
church the past ten days. He Sc
cured the use of the city fire bell
for the church, upon condition of
mounting it SO that it could be US
ed for an alarm as well as the more
peaceful purpose of calling the peo-
pl eto rest and worship. Then he
set work to build a bell tower on
the front Of the church, so as to
provide also fine vestibule entranc
to the room. The work is nearing
completion, and hereafter the Sun
da.' services will be announced by
the ringing of the bell at the hour
for preaching.

THERE'S MONEY IN BEES
Shoshone Man Gets 200 Pounds of
Honey FER Hive, Every Year.


Honey FER Hive, Every Year.
Frank Gwin is probably the real
champion honey grower of Lincoln
county, having been engaged in the
industry for l Syears in Shoshone
or rather on his ranch on the Big
Wood river nearby During all that
time he has made but one failure.
One year ago last winter during
the time of thehigh water, an ice
gorge on the Little Wood river be-
low town, backed the water up
over his city lots on which the
bee hives were housed and 10
hives were drowned out-a COM
plete loss. Last season was a good
one for honey and Mr. .Gwin states
that this year has been the best for
the business of honey production
he has ever experienced. From
only 43 hives and with the early
spring devoted to swarming he has
secured $500 pounds of pure white
straintd honey which he is now dis

Boise Fair VIII Have One as Added
Attraction
E. M. Blake, formerly of Rich
field, is the committee in charge Of
the aeroplane exhibit for the Inter
Mountain fair at Boise next week.
He secured the services of a Taco
ma aviator with new Bleriot mono
plane, of the same type as the enc
which first crossed the English chan
mel, the same as that which only
recently flew across the Alps, and
recognized as the highest type OF
air craft. 1t is now in Boise, and
is to make daily flights during fair
winds above 25 miles an hour. The
machine has a new 80 horse power
motor, much more powerful than
were used in the now famous ma
chimes. 1t will be revelation to
most people to see one of these big
machines, as heavy as an ordinary
farm wagon, sail up into the air
and attain a speed that only the au-
tomobile and the locomotive have
ever equaled on earth. The rail
roads are offering special rates for
the trip, so that the visit to Boise
and the great fair will not be expen-
sive. From all indications, the fair
this year will surpass anything RI
the kind in the history of the state.

BIG DEMAND FOR CARS
AS RESULT OF BLAZE
Machines from Los Angeles Beat
1t to Bakersfield to
Meet Buyers

The recent big fire at Bakersfield
which destroyed the city's largest ga
rage and nearly two score of automo-
biles, has been responsible foe some
good sales in that city by Los Angeles
motor car agents. As most of the cars
burned were fully insured, their owners
got busy at once in purchasing new
ones, and two-thirds of the cars that
have been replaced have been through
Southern California agencies, though a
strong bid for the business was made
by the San Francisco salesmen.
1t has been almost as good as a
scheduled road race to see the Los
Angeles boys beating it for Bakers
field, covering the distance in almost
record time to bring the speed possi-
bilities of their cars before the expect
ant Bakersfield buyers.
one of the best of such runs has
been made by Milo Bekin of the Bekin
Motor car company. who made the trip
from Los Angeles to Bakersfield in an
Atlas runabout in six hours flat. This
car was sold to J. M. Dunn, the well
known oil operator at Maricopa. Mr..
Dunn is a two-cycle car enthusiast, and
while he purchased the little runabout
to use in his business trips, he has also
purchased from the same company
big seven passenger Amplex touring
car. which in addition to its regular
equipment he has further equipped
with every accessory that could be de-
sired on any car. Mr.. Dunn's actual
cash outlay for this extra equipment
was $500. and 1t is reasonably certain
that there is not another as we'll APP

are moro than eighty miles of well built roads
in and about Estes Park None better can be

STEEL INDUSTRY GIVEN
BOOST BY AUTOMOBILE
Development and CommerciaIiz-
ing of Product Owes Much
to the Buzz Car

4The advancement of the automobile
has probably had more to do with the
development ana commercializtng OF
new forms of steel and methods OF
handling it than any one industry re-
Gently said j. e. Linabury of the en-
gneering department of the Oakland
Motor Car company of Pontiac Mich.
"A few years ago, and in fact at the
present time in many branches of man
ufacturing," he continued, the engin-
eer who wished to make part stronger
simply increased its size and of course
its weight accordingly.
This procedure has been impractical
in automobile manufacturing. If the
automobile engineer has been using a
certain kind of steel for a crankshaft
and wishes to increase its strength,
lie has it put through a process known
as heat treating, whereby the molec-
ular structure of the steel is SO changed
that the elastic limit is greatly in
creased. This is not process of tenn
pering whereby the steel is made
harder, but the steel is heated to a
point where the electro magnetic at
traction between the molecules is de-
stroyed. Then it is cooled and then re-
heated to a lower temperature and an
neaied. There are a number of differ
ent processes for doing this and a num-
ber of ways for cooling.
THE other alternative to which the
engineer may turn is especial alloy
steel A few years ago one occasion
ally heard of nickel steel for some es-
pecially important piece of chrome
nickel and Vanadium were little known
outside of the laboratory. Now they
are a staple product and they can be
found in the springs and gears and
shafting of thousands of motor cars.
These and other alloy metals are
capable of standing a strain of 10000
pounds per inch while they can be bent
and twisted cold to an extent never
dreamed OF in the harder steel. The
long looked for aluminium molder is
now a realization. Autogenious weld
ing has been made a common practice
through the advent of the automobile.
These and many other advancements
are all the result of automobile devel-
opment'

AUTO SPoKELETs

There seems to be quite a general
misunderstanding among motorists
concerning the difference between the
terms quick k-detachable' rims and
"demountable" rims. as indicated by
many of the inquiring letters received
by tire manufacturers. The following
explanation from the Firestone Tire
and Rubber company is therefore
timely:
The quick-detachable" rim provides
for quick removal of tire. usually
by removing a locking ring which
forms one side of the clinch or retain
ing device Of the rim. This requires
deflation of the tire before removing
and pumping up after tire is applied.
Quick detachable rims are made for
both the quick-detachabl clincher and
the cable base or straight bead tires
A great saving in time is effected by
quick-detachable rims over the one
piece clincher rims.
The "demountable" rim provides for
quick removal of both tire and rim
from the wheel, without taking the tire
off the rim. This does away with the
time lost in pumping up, as extra tires
are carried already inflated on extra
rims. 1t is also much quicker and
easier than the quick detachable
method, explained above. Demountable
rims were first introduced publicly by
Sisz on his Renault in the French
Grand Prix race of 1906 The time he
saved in tire changing gave him a lead
over the other contestants and enabled
him to win the race. Demountable
rims have been growing in favor With
motorists ever since.
