NONSTOP FLANDERS '20'
NOW PAST 5000 MILES

The Flanders "2O" on its nonstop
run will have passed 5000 miles by the
time of going to press, for at IL p. m.
Saturday the observers report at the
Lord Motor Car company's garage
showed $685. miles for the first fifteen
days of it's run.
So great is the public's interest in
the performance of this little car that
hundreds of Flanders admirers are
wearing streamers bearing the legend

and then the climb for further honors
will interest the entire motoring world
in what this car in Los Angeles is
doing.

ward appearance. This lack of change
in design of the working parts of an
automobile always looks good to me,
as an indication that the machine is
giving good satisfaction.
The Petrol, exhibited by the Petrol
Motor Car company, is the only friction
drive In evidence The friction trans
mission has many merits and seems to
be gradually winning its place in popu-
lar esteem. This device used on the
Petrol is one OF the best.
There Is no marked change in these
cars outside of an increase in size of
the radiator, thus securing more eff
cient cooling. Both L and T head mo-
tors are shown, the latter being used in
the small twenty-five horsepower ma
chine.
:. The Owen appears to be a high class
machine, conventional in every way,
but all the details carried out with ex
treme care. The valve stems, tappets,
ETC., are enclosed in telescope cases,
the lights are combination gaS-electric,
the prestolite tank is placed at the
front of the car between headlights.
The radiator is extra large, and the
wheels are of unusual size. The whole
object of the design apparently has
been to produce an excellent car with
out any freakish details.
The America Car company is show
ing the America, a new car. This ma
chine is conventional in general details,
with no startling mechanical features.
An excelsior motor is used, with a
double jet carbureter. This double
spray tube, one to be adjuster for the
high and the other for the low speed,
gives good results, and is very easy of
adjustment.
The Haynes Auto Sales COM
pany is using an offset crank shaft,
the only one noticed in the show. On
a motor of four and a quarter inch
bore and five-inch stroke the offset is
three quarters of an inch. This engine
also has a valve set, two and five
sixteenths inches in diameter, at the
throat. This motor should give a high
speed, and have a good volumetric eff
cheney at its maximum speed.

SEVEN NEW BUICK MODELS
TO APPEAR AT FIESTA PARK

C. S. Howard returned last week from
a trip to the Buick factory, after sue
ceeding In getting two carloads of
Buick cars shipped to Los Angeles for
the auto show in Fiesta park.
| Mr. Howard asserts that the Buick
models for 1911 are sure to create a
| sensation in the automobile world.
| There are seven of the new models.
and each one has its distinct claim to
| recognition and favorable considera-
ton.
'"The real Buick pride and joy, how
ever" says Howard, 'is the model No.
20, a car of the touring type. with half
height foredoors, the style, speed dura-
bility and all the equipment that goes
to make up an ideal motor driven pas
senger vehicle. It. carries five persons
with ease, comfort and grace. The
other models are No. 80, touring type
with seats foi five. No. 26, roadster
type, seating two persons; No. 81, tour
ing type, with seats for five persons;
No: 81, runabout type, with two seats
and tank on rear; No. 33, touring type,
with seats for four, and No. 38, which is
40-horsepower roadster type, seating
two persons.
with this varied line of models rep
resenting high-class workmanship and
all the up-to-date features in automo-
bile building, the Buick Motor company
Is well equipped to make strong and
convincing bid for favor at the hands
of the automobile public"
Among other things, M. Howard re-
ports that the entire output Of the
Buick Motor company for the 1911 sea-
son has been taken in advance. The
schedule of production as it stands at
the present time calls for an output of
$4,000 cars of the 1911 model, between
now and June 80. which date has been

The present force of 3400 mechanics
has been steadily increasing each day.
and it is expected that by the first of
January fully 5000 will be at work
turning out this line of cars.

Improvement for Summer Resorters.

J. I'll. Riheldaffer was looking af-
ter matters connected with the
Riheldaffer estate in this vicinity
last week, and while here conferred
with members of the Commercial
club and others as to remodeling
the residence property on the heights
above little falls and installing a
family to conduct it as house of
entertainment for transient guests
during the summer season. The
place commands some of the pref
test views in the Minnesota valley,
and could be converted into most
attractive country house for family
parties from the cities or elsewhere.
Mr.. Riheldaffer went away with the

other heirs and co-owners of the
estate, relative to immediate i'm
provement of the property with the
above object in view.

WHAT NEXT
IN POLITICS?
Candidates Slow to Line Up
for Nomination and
Voters Waiting.

The common question heard Of
late is, What is new in politics?
The answer is seldom either definite
or satisfactory. Conditions are al
together different from those exist
ing two years ago or at any other
campaign year in our recollection.
The agitation over tariff legisla-
ton before congress and over IL
cense and no-license contests in our
local elections has neutralized old
party ties to some extent. There
appears to be a good working ma
jority of progressive Republicans,
but stand-patters are scarcer than
party prohibitionists in Redwood
county. judging from what we hear
and observe here and there. Con-
gresham Volstead is likely to COM
mand the undivided party support
of Redwood county Republicans.
AS to the state ticket, there is a
demand on the part of the oppon-
ents of the saloon for definite
expression on county option in both
the county and state platforms.
Voters who really want to maintain
party organization in this county
should attend the local caucuses
next month and see that they are
really representative. Much de-
ponds on the delegations sent to st.
Paul. affecting both the platforms
and party success at the elections
next fall.
Aside from the general statement
that all OF the present county Off
GERS will be candidates for re-elec-
ton (the clerk of court not being
voted on this year, and Commission
Posi- being the only exceptions),
there appears to be little to say as
to county nominations. The only
other active candidates we have
heard of so far are the Redwood
Falls entries for probate Judge. All
of these apparently realize that the
race for probate judge will be de-
cided upon grounds Of personal
activity and fitness in all proba-
bility, none of the three gentlemen
concerned having a political pull"
that can be depended upon. AS
previously stated. The Gazette has
no commission to interfere in this
contest, which appears to be friend
ly so far.
Considerable speculation has been
INDUCED in as to the next Repre-
sentative from this county. but just
now it looks as though the matter
would not develop before the next
Republican county convention.
That other candidates may file
later is probable. and they will be
announced as fast as developed.

2 FIRE LOSSES
THE PAST WEEK
Roof of High School Building
Damaged, Williams Fam
lily Burned Out.

Two fires iii FIVE days is unusual
for Redwood Falls, but under the
circumstances, either of them might
have been much worse.
Last Wednesday the high school
building suffered a severe scorch,
but fortunately the alarm was sound
ed during the noon recess, when
most ofthe pupils were out of the
building.
Fire was discovered in the roof at
the south side of the high school
building at about l o'clock. Two or
three high school seniors. with Supt.
Herman, promptly numbered the
hose reeled up in the hall, after To-
eating the smoke in the hatchway
opening to the roof, and Donald
Smith, Erwin Hall, and one or
two others got in some effective
work in the nick Of time, pouring
the water where the smoke indicated
the presence of fire, although at
first no blaze could be seen. The
boys had the fire practically under
control before the fire men had time
to respond to the alarm. but with the
advent of the latter it was matter
of short time to open the roof so
as to deluge the smoking roof tim
bers to which the fire had spread
from the roof. 1t was ascertained
that the timer from Jaehning's shop
had been repairing some leaks of the
roof and had left his charcoal burner
on the roof, thinking it was nearly
out and would do no damage. The
wind apparently famed the embers
to life and the fire communicated to
the roof. The damage is mainly
from the ruined ceilings and discol-
ored walls and woodwork, and it
will probably cost insurance COM
panies who will have to make good
on the loss, from $1,000 to $500.
Sunday afternoon another fire
occurred, on the west side of the
Redwood. The Williams family oc-
cupying the house formerly owned
by the Comstocks, sat down to their
dinner a little before three o'clock,
and Mrs. Williams going to the sum-
mer kitchen to get something off the
kerosene burner used for preparing
the meal, opened the door to be met
by sheet of flame which scorched
her eyebrows and hair before she
could jump back out of its reach.
Mr.. Williams also essayed to grapple
