After several days delay due to the
bad roads in Missouri the Glidden Path
finder car reached Atlantic on Tuesday
morning, May 10, 1910, about Half-past
Ten O'clock having left Omaha at Six,
in the morning. Here they were met
by dozens of cars from Extra, Brayton,
Audubon, including the Ed Beason, LATE
Simpson, Doctor Koob, Doctor Newton,
John I. Hensley, L. d. Powell, Edwin
Delahoyde cars, and after taking water
and making few needed repairs they
were soon on the way. Accompanying
Mr.. Lewis are w. A. Kron, the official
photographer for the Pathfinder; w. G.
Smith the pilot; Lee j. Smith, of The
Detroit News, representing The Press.
The official car is Chalmers Detroit,

When Dali Lewis and his Pathfinder
reached Omaha on Monday night he
found an Adair bunch of people who
told him they were on the River to River
Road and he told them he would 60
their way, so they started east feeling
nightly tickled. Here the Extra and
the Guthrie Center men got busy and
telephoned toSecretary Eichinger at the
Des Moines Daily Capital Office telling
him what was in the wind and that
gentleman caught Mr. Lewis and his
crew at point between Council Bluffs
and Atlantic by telephone; told him
that there was but one Official River to
River Road; that all other stories were
base fabrications; that Extra was on
That Road; and advised him to come
that route. Then it was that the Adair
people looked down in the mouth, like
o doctor, and the Exiraites smiled with
satisfied smile, such as tiger has when
he sees gentle unsuspecting gaZelle
approaching his lair. About twenty
cars from Extra went down to Atlantic
to meet Mr.. Lewis and the Pathfinder
on Tuesday morning and they came
trailing him into the Busy Coal Town
about the noon hour, with flags flying
and everybody singing Halleluyah in
seventeen volumes and nobody dropped
a note.
