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

While Detroit is the acknowledged
leader in the. building of touring
cars 1t 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 vlr-
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 great future in store for the
motor truck industry was put down
as dreamer, and experiments look
ing toward the perfection OF the
commercial vehicle were carried on
under the cover OF great secrecy.
Detroit, however. was rot 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 II uses as many OF
such vehicles. in proportion, as the
leading eastern cities, where the in
dustry is more firmly established.
Detroit today boasts the largest
factory I'm the world for building
motor trucks. a plant covering 49,
035 square feet. 1t also boasts sew
eral of the best known makes OF
trucks in the country. trucks thai,
In the opinion of engineers, have
practically reached the acme OF me-
chanical perfection. But IL 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 matter OF fact the commercial
car industry is only In its infancy as
FAR as Detroit is concerned. though
ID is growing at what some might
call an astounding rate, Ii Is not
growing too fast to supply the needs.
which will soon be the demands, OF
the business world. IL has been fig-
ured that the motor industry is the
third largest in the country and il
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 position OF absolute SUI
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
he touring car industry; the same
considerations govern in the manu-
facture OF motor truck.
There was never 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
truck is no longer an experiment. OF
course, absolute perfection has not
been reached. For that matter, moth
ing Ia perfect. There is still room
for improvement In the telephone.

adding machine. But these devices,
like the motor truck, are more than
mere conveniences; they are neces-
stiles.

Some Important Changes
Likely On Railroad Map

Press dispatches say that Stand
of the Missouri Pacific railroad from
the Gould family. 1t is also asserted
that a new transcontinental line is
to be established by using the Erie,
Wabash, Missouri Pacific, d. & Il. G.
and Western Pacific. This makes a
continuous, and very direct route
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. An
inspection of the map will disclose
the fact that the Missouri Pacific be-
tween st. Louis and Pueblo is almost
a straight line, many miles shorter
than any other. Such a line would
bring traffic from the east directly
to Pueblo. \ glance at the map OF
Colorado will show that the route
from Pueblo to Grand Junction is
much shorter by way of Marshall
pass than over Tennessee pass. The
logic of the situation calls for tun-
mel under Marshall pass and broad
gauging the line. \ difficulty may
be suggested. The grade over Cerro
hill is sleeper than at the pass and
"a tunnel under IL would be very long.
Fortunately no tunnel is necessary.
BY leaving the canon some distance
below Gunnison. a line over compar-
atively easy grades can be construct
ed along the southern rim Of Black
mesa into the Crawford country and
down to connection with the North
Fork branch. In that event the line
between Hotchkiss and Austin very
likely would follow the canon in
stead of winding around among the
'dobes. This would shorten the line
and take IL through "A productive
country. The territory from Gunni-
son to Montrose furnishes but little
traffic 10 the road. In case the-isio
Grande Is made part of transcoI-
tinental line. the changes Indicated
are more than probable.

road overseers were able TO put
more time on new road construc-

much OF this quarter. however,

distance according to new sur

alleged wife is now living in Oregon

She bore the king three children, who

Counsel for Mrs. Hill made a strong
plea for the courts mercy, but Judge
Martin said that he felt that a Jail
sentence was necessary as a lesson.
Il regret to say" he added, that
women are much more prone to at
tempt smuggling than are men,"
Mrs. Hill had pleaded guilty to
smuggling into this country a sable
coat and other goods valued at $4,000.

which would come to the people of
Illinois, but declared that every state
would be lenefcially affected by the
pact.
Mr.. Taft declared that the reciproc-
lty agreement was in exact line with
the Republican tariff policy outlined in
the 1908 platform.
The president dwelt at some length
on the lumber schedule. Mr.. Taft ar
rived here after busy morning, dur
ing which he made speeches at Cham
paign, Decatur and other points-all
in support Of reciprocity. At Month
cello he was interrupted by several
voices exclaiming: I'VE are with you
and we are farmers, too"
