DRIVER OF BUICK RACER
TALKS OF TIRES AND OIL

In conversation yesterday with Nick
Nikrent, the elder of the Nikrent
brothers who are always together on
the Buick white streak in the racing
game, that sturdy driver, who has but
little to say as a rule on racing, said:
II. of course, believe we have one of
the best and fastest racing stock cars
there is on the market, and time and
again it has proved it's capacity, speed
and endurance, bringing home the
trophies and money when there were
some such things to work for, but in
il all there is this to be said, that in
addition TO having the car you must
also be as sure of your tires as any
thing else, and that is the reason
used Goodyears.
zone other thing is a great essential
to fast or even ordinary driving, and
that is TO have the right kind of lubri-
cation, and for that reason l use Nalvo-
line oil. which has never failed with
me in the Buick of making good"
A word from this veteran of the cir
Gle and road is sufficient to satisfy the
most credulous that Valvolne oil is
all that is claimed for it, perfect for
fabrication and performs all that is
claimed for ii.

NEW BUICK Is BEAUTY

The Howard Automobile company,
agents and distributors for Buick auto
mobiles, last week received their first
model No. 7, seven-passenger, 50-horse-
power Buick. This car is handsomely
finished throughout is along the lines
of the other we'll known Buick models,
and sells for $1,000. Manager Frank
Howard says his greatest regret is that
his allotment on these cars for 1910 will
be but TWENTY-FIVE.

MAKE HARD TRIPS
IN MITCHELL CARS
Heavy Snowfall Between MojaVe and
Lone Pine Tests Ability of
Automobiles to Make
HeadWay

Just at present talk of sunny Cali
fornia does not appeal to A. T. Hay,
who operates five Mitchell cars in the
automobile stage service between Mo
1ave and Lone Pine. This has been the
hardest winter known in that section,
the snowfall being the heaviest ever
recorded.
But no matter how deep the snow or
how hard the wind blows, the Mitchells
must make their daily trip of 12S miles.
The railroad sells a through ticket from
Los Angeles to Lone Pine, and when
the train arrives the motor cars must
be there to meet it, prepared to take all
the passengers who arrive to their des-
tination. Sometimes this has made it
necessary for three cars to make the
trip in one day.
Many a. time this winter the Mitch
ellis have gone wheel deep in the snow,
but they always get out and go ploWing
on their way. Often during the worst
storms the wind causes the snow to
drift with a result that it is with
great difficulty that the road is fol-
lowed. The snow covers up every sign
OF a roadway, and it is necessary for
the driver to follow landmarks to make
progress. Chains are used almost con-
stantly to make headway through the
snow.
Plunge in Ditch
Many times this following what the
driver thinks is the road has resulted
in a plunge down a deep ditch. In
such cases it is often a case of work TO
get out. but to the credit of the sturdy
cars, they have never failed.
Many a passenger has left the town
pleased with the prospect of trip oV-
erland, only to lose his nerve after a
few snow drifts had been bucked and
the whirling snowflakes had sifted in
between the curtains. The drivers have
suffered with the cold, but they have
learned to bundle up sufficiently and
there have been few frozen fingers or
feet.
one of the first things to be learned
by driver in the snow country of Cali
fornia is to drain off the water at night.
Unless this is done the cylinders will
be cracked by the water freezing.
This failure to drain off the water
has resulted in many cracked cylinder
or sheered off pump gear. In the east
the cars are blanketed when left stand
ing in the street during the winter, and
often the engine is left running rather
than take a chance of freezing.

GREAT YEAR FOR
OPPORTUNITY

Sixty members of the Opportun-
ity Commercial club held an en-
thusiastic meeting at that thriving
suburb last evening in behalf of
an adequate exhibit at the Spokane
Interstate fair to be held Oct. 8 to
9. This is the first year that the
orchards Of the Opportunity dis
trict have been in bearing, and it
is now proposed to signal that fact
with splendid showing at the
fair, in which 1t is hoped to dem
onstrate that there is no finer
fruit growing section in all Eastern
Washington than at this strategic
point in the Spokane valley.
Among those who addressed the
gathering were Professor Van Hol-
derbeck, one Of the best known
horticuNurists in the Northwest,
who runs a nursery at OppOrtunF
ity; Ben Bergunder, superintend-
ent of the department Of fruits,
grains and grasses of the SPOKANE
Interstate fair; c. M. Fassett, pres
ident of the Spokane chamber Of
commerce, and Manager Robert n.
Cosgrove of the Spokane Inter
state fair.

It's the old Wall street wolf on
the job again, but he's cleverly dis
guised. The great western states
are proud of their lordly territories.
The people believe in conservation.
The state officials pretend to be,
too, but are largely owned by the
big railroads running through them.
When the conservation program at
ST. Paul was announced the west
ern governors seemed satisfied and
appointed delegates to attend.
Then Wall street, neatly attired
and completely disguised in sleeps
clothing, came on the scene and
through Land Grabbers Hill and FL
lott told the west that the whole
PinchOt scheme was to seize terri
tory of western states and hold it
for the benefit of the east. Then
the powder magazine blew up.
The activities of Louis Hill did
not end with alarming the western
governors. While the latter were
planning to meet in Salt Lake to
discuss the danger" pointed out by
Hill, and were accusing Pinchot Of
trying to work a stem roller on
them and generally criticising
Roosevelt and Pinchot policies, Hill
was working with the st. Paul local
committee of jobbers, shippers and
business men to change the pro-
gram outlined by Pinchot and other
conservationists for the congress so
that President Taft would have a
place on the program, giving a
chance to overshadow and shout
down everything else. The first day
of the congress, therefore, was set
aside as presidents and Govern
ors' day"
Thus, thanks to the railroad influ-
ence, whihc is in reality the influ-
ence of the big interests of the
country, you have the western gov
errors so stirred up that they are
appointing new delegates and pre-
pairing for a campaign in st. Paul
against a conservation to really con-
serves.

Harry Green has secured against
the city raising the grade of Mis-

for Green and ordered the city to
remove the dirt placed in the fill,
