AVERAGE PRICE
OF AUTOMOBILES

New York. Sept. 13.-On interesting
tabulation of the average automobile
price since 1908. prepared by the Am
eFican Automobile association; shows
that automobile prices rose from 1902
10 1867. but that since that time the
price has gradually declined. This
decline. according TO the associations
experts, has not been brought about
by nay radical reduction In the price
Of motor cars, hut by the great In
crease in the manufacture and sale
of machines selling for Sl,500 or less.
In the early days of the industry a
car selling for 81 500 was rare. while
now the greater number of machines
sell for under that figure,
The figures show that the trend In
manufacturing hes been to give more
each year for the same sum, rather
than to make cut in the selling price.
There has been a tremendous In
crease in the making of what are
termed moderate priced cars and a
normal and healthy increase In the
number OF higher priced machines.
From $1,133.37. as the average price
for cars In 1903, the average ran up
TO S2.13756 In 1907 ana since that
1t has decreased until the first six
months of 1910 shows S1,545,S3 as the
average price.

fected and had to be killed last night
In other parts OF the city fowl have
been reported to be dying rapidly and
the spread of the disease is being re-
garded with considerable alarm.
Early last week two Of Mr.. Olson
boys discovered pair Of sick teal
ducks In the swamp OF the Jordan
river. where water fowl perished by
the thousands. With boyish tender
heartedness the lads brought the
ducks home. placed them on some
clean straw IN hen-house and at
tempted 10 revive them They
thought they had almost become sue
ceSstul IN their attempt when the
birds suddenly died.
The dead teal were thrown away
On the following day the fox terrier
was discovered playing with their
dead bodies. The hens and domes-
ticated ducks were attracted to the
straw on which tho sick ducks had
lain, Soon they began to wobble
around about the hen yard and one
morning a dozen hens were found
dead. That day numerous hens died
from the disease. In playing with tho
dead teal the fox terrier ate portion
OF one of them. He Immediately be.

Mr.. Olsen, who has for years been
enthusiastic over duck hunting. in-
