WORLDS LARGEST
TRUCK PLAN IS
Detroit Rapidly Coming To Fore as
Leader in Commercial Car
Industry.

(vlee-President Alden-sampson Mfg.
Coz
While Detroit Is the acknowledged
leader in the building OF touring
cars IL has been little known up to
the last few years for its production
Of freight and delivery motors.
Ten years ago the commercial We
hicle industry in this city was vir-
tually a minus quantity. Any at
tempt to take the motor truck In
dustry seriously met with derision.
Any man who dared assert that there
was n great future In store for the
motor truck industry was put down
as a dreamer. and experiments look
ing toward the perfection OF the
commercial vehicle were carried on
under the cover OF great secrecy.
Detroit. however. was not unlike
other cities in this respect. There
was a general feeling all over the
country that the commercial vehicle
industry would never amount TO
much
In the production of motor trucks
and delivery vehicles. Detroit has
made rapid strides within the last
year or two, and IL uses as many or
such vehicles. in proportion, as the
leading eastern cities. where the In
dustry is more firmly established.
Detroit today boasts the largest
factory in the world for building
motor trucks, a plant covering 49,
O35 square feet. 1t also boasts sew
eral OF the best known makes or
trucks in the country, trucks that.
in the opinion OF engineers, have
practically reached the acme Of me-
chanical perfection. But 1t is not
only In heavy trucks that Detroit
excels. There are several companies
in this city. formerly identified only
with the building OF touring cars,
that now see in the light delivery
motor a fertile field.
AS a matter OF fact the commercial
car industry Is only in its infancy as
far as Detroit Is concerned. though
IL is growing at what some might
call an astounding rate, 1t is not
growing too fast to supply the needs.
which will soon be the demands, OF
the business world. II has been fig
ured that the motor industry Is the
third largest in the country and 1t
is predicted by sound methods OF
reasoning that the advent OF the
method of reasoning that the advent
of the motor truck will raise the In
dustry to a position OF absolute su-
premacy.
Detroit. with its progressive spirit
is bound to get its full share In the
benefits Of this inevitable expansion.
This city Is the undisputed center of
The touring car industry: the same
considerations govern in the manu-
facture Of a motor truck.
There was never a more optimistic
outlook for any industry than there
Is at this time for the motor truck
branch OF the auto industry. The
pioneer days are over; the motor

ENGLISH ORDINATIONS
!: :. :. :. ). :. :. :. :: :. ). !, :. = !.

Prior to 1858 all coronatlons are
said to have taken place on Sln-
day or festival day. Indeed, six
teen of the twenty-one early English
!coronations occurred on Sunday.
William the Conqueror was crowned
on a Sunday, Christmas Day, 1865,
and was the first king to receive his
sovereignty in Westminster. The
building was crowded by a toysur.
shouting throng at the beginning of
the ceremony. In some way the Roy
al Horse Guards misinterpretea their
shouts and set fire to the gates; the
spectators, panic-stricken, rushed
out and were slaughtered by the
Norman cavalry. Therefore the cor
onation ceremony of William the
Conqueror was consummated in an
almost empty building.
The best authentic description OF
an early coronation procession is to
be found in manuscript from this
British Museum. 1t describes the
coronation of Richard l, Richard
the Lion Hearted" on September
Bird, 1889, in Westminster Abbey.
According to this manuscript, the
procession was headed by many
monks followed by two bishops car
rying croziers. four barons with can
dies in silver candle-sticKs and then
two more bishops bearing crosses.
After them came the Earl Marshal
with the sceptre surmounted by q
cross, and the Earl of Salisbury car
| rying the virga RECALLS sumounted
by dove.
The three swords of state were
next in line, being borns by John,
Earl of Mortain and Glouster, who
afterwards became King John. Fom
mobiles then appeared carrying the
coronation robes and treasures in
a chest, then came the Earl of AL.
bemarie and Essex bearing the roy
al crown. Immediately behind him
came the king.
He was attended by the bishops
of Durham and Bath who even now
retain the privilege of attending the
person of sovereign on such an
occasion. An exceedingly rich can.
opy was supported over the head Of
king Richard by four mobiles. At
ter taking the royal oath the King
| was anointed.
1t is recorded that the spectators
were terrorized by seeing bat flut-
tering above the throne and consid.
cred it an evil omen. The concfus-
ion of the coronation ceremony was
marked by a Wholesale butchery OF
the Jews. They had been ordered ia
remain away from the Abbey but
came to the ceremony with many
rich gifts for the King. The inflam-
ed populace fell upon them, and the
massacre spread from London to 9th
er cities.

GAME WAl,DENs
HAVE LONG TENURE

Pirre. S. D., June 6.-Game
Warden F. w. Bancroft has CALI
ed upon the attorney general for an
opinion as to the length of term of
county game wardens, whether they
are selected for any specific term.
or whether they serve at the pleas
ure Of the state warden. In the
opinion it Is held that under tho
game warden law OF 1899, a county
warden holds his position indefin-
ltely. He holds at the pleasure Of
the state warden, subject to removal
at any time for neglect of duty, but
unless removed, or succeeded by a
new selection in the county, his ap-
pointment runs on without limit.
Commissioner Bancroft, under the
presumption that appointments were
for two. years, has asked the coun-
ty commissioners, to make recon-.
mendations, and suggesting that the
old men be retained where their
work has been satisfactory. But un-
der the decision, where the wardens
are doing satisfactory work from
this time on they will hold their
position. Changes win be made
where the wardens desire to get out,
Of the work; and where those ap-
pointed have not been doing satis-
factory work. but many will remain
in the service indefinitely.

PRESBYTERIANS OF CANADA
IN ANNUAL SESSION

Ottawa, Ont, June 6.-The thir-
ty-seventh General Assembly of the
Presbyterian church in Canada will
meet in Knox church in this city
tomorrow, with the retiring Modern
tor, the Rev. Dr.. John Forrest III
the chair. The most of the minist-
erial commissioners are here, and
the arrivals tomorrow are expected
to make up the complement.
Outward and visible signs are
abundant that the present General
Assembly is likely to be one of the
most important of recent years.
There are many big questions for
the commissioners to consider and
act upon. Church union is one Of
the foremost of these, and it is pre-
dicted that it will cause keen dis
cussion. The proposition that the
Presbyterians should unite in an or
ganic way with the Methodist and
Congregational churches in Canada

During the past year the question
has been voted on by the 6S pres

and the result shows decided SYM
pathy on the par of the ministers
and the presiding elders in favor Of
the movement for union.

has taken the same stand. A small
coterie of Presbyterians, however,
has strongly resisted the idea of So
paration and has sought to have tn
present relationship continued
The election of a Moderator this
year is creating little interest,
from the fact that the choice Of the
Rev. DR.. R. P. Mackey Of Toronto,
well known as the secretary of the
foreign mission committee of the
church, Is generally regarded as a
foregone conclusion.
