MILES OF CARPET.

A solid train of sixty cars, conta lining
5000 rolls of carpet, leaves Chicago
via the Chicago & North Western Ry.
a. m. to-day for Omaha. The train
is enroute from New York to San Fran
cisco.
The special train is over a half mile
in length.
There are five hundred miles of car
pet in the shipment; this refresents
carpet enough to lay width the entire
length of the line of the Chicrgo &
North Western Ry. from Chicago to
Omaha.
The weight of the carpet is 1,500, 900
lbs. and it is valued at nearly 81, 900, 900.
Such shipment even a decade ago
would have been beyond the magma
tion of the most optimistic weaver, and
is the tangible evidence of the remark
able growth of the carpet weaving in
dustry in America. 1t goes to supply
the ever-increasing demand on the Pac-
ifc Coast.

THE ORATORICAL AND
DECLMATORY CONTEST

Each young member did admirably
apd any lengthy detailed account would
still be an injustice to the work, pre-
paration, and presentation of the sub
ject matter delivered by each contes-
tant in this their first attempt.
The always obliging Misses Edna and
Nita Bradley opened the evening pro-
gram in their usual happy vein.
Beatrice Marsh, although carrying a
heavy school program, was willing to
do her best and recited ga Pathetic
Incident of the Rebellion. She in
turn was followed by Hazel Russell
with True Nobility as her subject.
Her stage presence perhaps was the
most pleasing of the speakers. Orpha
Marsh did we'll with Antony and
Cleopatra" while Adele Cleveter re-
ceived third place on her rendition of
THE Polish Boy" Emma Carney car
ried off first honors. Her subject was
''The Soul of a Violin" "Memory's
Message" by Marie Morstad contained
beautiful thoughts we'll rendered, but
perhaps her voice lacked carrying pow
er
"Aunt Elnora's Hero was nicely
interpretated and the speaker, Dorothy
Dickinson, was given second place.
At the conclusion of the Declamatory
contest Miss Setter sang "In the Chin
ney Corner with piano accompani-
ment by Miss Benesh.
THE Death of Garfield by Harold
Noer was given in a clear, audible
tone. His voice was we'll modulated
and his mannerism pleasing. "An Era
of Conscience" by Ralph Kennedy was
awarded first place by the Judges.
Many compliments were paid the cho-
rus work which had been trained by
Miss Benesh.
The Judges were Miss Edmire Quin-
Ian, S. D. Switzer and M. r. Stewart.
The decisions met with universal ap-
proval.

ON THE "KLONDIKE" BRANCH
Journal Reporter Spends Sunday at
Wabeno.

/
Wabeno.
| A Journal reporter was at Wabeno
the first Of the week and found quite a
busy town nestled among the hills and
rocks at the very head of the Oconto
river. 1t is but small stream at this
point and has it's head in small lake
few miles above the town. 1t has been
a noted trout stream, but is pretty well
| fshed out in the vicinity of Wabeno.
Wabeno and Soperton, really one town,
haze a population of some 1900 people
is located in the eastern part of Forest
county, on the 'Klondike' branch of
the Northwestern road. 1t contains
several substantial business establish
ments, few fine residences and
large number of small homes, mainly
owned by the mill companies and rented
to their employees. Two large saw
mills are located here, the principal
plant being the Bay Shore Lumber
Company, then the Jones Lumber Com
pany, and small water power mill.
The principal product is hardwood lum-
Der, little pine, some heMlock and
cedar The Bay Shore Company have
a mammoth plant here, with saw mill,
planning mill and some rs or 80 miles of
logging road. The concern also oper
ates a large mercantile establishment
and boarding house. James Stengel,
of this city is employed as filer in this
mill Mat Boehm owns the only drug
store in the two towns and is doing a
fine business. There are quite a num-
ber of former Shawano people located
there. Your reporter met Mrs. L. M.
Breed, formerly of this city, and who
conducts confectionery and notion
store in Wabeno. A large two story
red brick school house presents fine
appearance and gives substantial ap-
pearance to the town. The Wabeno
Advertiser, owned and edited by j. E.
Himley, fills the wants of the commun-
ity in newspaper and printing line.
Quite number of towns, mainly saw
mill and numbering towns, are passed
along the way. The village of Surfing
has substantial appearance, contain
ing large brick stores and several man
ufacturing establishments. This place
is surrounded by fine farming country
and is assured of a substantial growth.

GrinneH, June 26.-The two Spauld-
ing cars made by the Spaulding Manu-
featuring Company at Grinnell. went
thru the four days hard grind over hills
and thru sand in Iowas Little Gid
den tour with perfect road scores. At
the end Of the tour the technical COM
mittee pronounced them in perfect
shape with the remarkable low fuel
consumption average of twenty-five
miles to one gallon of gasoline.
The Spaulding Manufacturing Com
pany have been manufacturing vehicles
for thifty-six years and handling other
makes Of cars for eight years and
their product in motor car is the re-
suit Of good thorough study Of the
weak and good points now prevalent in
American and European cars.
AS the Spaulding cars We're the only
Iowa made cars in the run and made
such a fine showing in comparison with
the more costly cars, they were given
a great ovation at every town along
the route.
Upon the completion of their new
100000 building which is now under
CONSTRUCTION, the Spauldlng Manufac-
turing Company expects to greatly in
crease their output Of motor cars to
meet the steadily increasing demand for
their cars.
Iowa people have reason to be proud of
the fine showing made by the two
Spaulding Iowa-nade cars entered in
the tour. Both cars had perfect road
scores, but couple Of loose rod pan
nuts and foot or SO slip-over on the
brake test cost them the trophy in their
class, but gave them a close second.
The Spaulding is made at Grinnell and
the completion Of a new 100000 build
ing will enable the company to take
care Of the increased demand for their
cars

LITTLE GLIDDEN ENDS
Four Days Tour a Sueesss-lowa Made
Cars Mako Good Showing.


1t was sunburned, dusty, tired but
happy lot Of tourists that pulled into
Des Moines Saturday afternoon on the
completion Of the last days run Of
Iowa's Little Glidden tour. A four
days run with a total distance of $50
miles served to try the mettle OF both
cars and drivers.
The weather conditions for the four
days were perfect but the road condi-
lions were many and varied, and 1t is
safe - say that any car that can make
the same run in good condition il
worthy of the consideration Of pros
pective motor car buyers.
The first days run Of 205 miles from
Des Moines to Davenport. was the long
est of tho tour There were many con-
trails at Newton and Grinnell. At the
latter place the Spaulding Manufacture
ing Company served the tourists with
sandwiches, lemonade and cigars. The
noon stop was made at Marengo and
an afternoon control at Iowa City
From there on into Davenport the good
roads induced many Of the cars to hit
up a fc-ty-nile clip. 1t may have been
the hot weather or it may have been
lack Of interest. but at any rate DAY.
export did little or nothing to recog-
nize the tour.
The second days run was very pic
turesque. the road winding in and out
along the bluffs on the Mississippi
river. Just before coming into Clin-
ton, the morning control, the tourists
passed a car standing on Its nose in
deep ditch. Spauldhg car No. IL
passed along just about the time OF the
accident and picked two men out OF
the wreckage. Both were unconscious
and badly injured. The incident served
to dissipate any inclination toward
reckless driving. At Maquoketa. the
noon stop, brass band. welcome signs
and a large crowd served to make the
occasion a gala ones
The afternoon run to Dubuque was
over the worst roads encountered in
the whole tour. At times the road was
merely a rocky trail thru the woods
and the tourists will never forget the
watershed encountered on the road into
Dubuque These motorists Nightmares
give the exact sensation Of riding over
a plowed field.
The Dubuque Automobile Club did
themselves proud in entertainment and
nothing was too good for the tourists
A delightful trolley ride was followed
by a lunch at the club rooms and it
was only the thought Of the early rising
next morning that finally induced the
tourists to break away from the good
fellowship Of Dubuque.
Aside from additional watersheds en-
countered on the road leading out OF
Dubuque. the roads on the third day
were comparatively good. Waterloo
where the noon stop was made, ap-
peared to be in the same sleepy condi-
ton that Davenport was in. No ar
rangements had been made for dinner
and the tourists had to take whatever
they could get. Good roads induced the
tourists to make fast run in the af-
ternoon and the first cars passed before

o'clock Sunday morning at the south
end Of the Great Western railroad

ing Grew on the Great Western railway.

dered the removal OF the body to New
lens east side undertaking rooms.

shoes which the man wore were not
mates. It Is believed that the man

o'clock. The Clear Lake Commercial
Club was on the JOB and provided
everybody with bathhouse tickets and
from the appearance Of everybody be
fore and after taking" Clear Lake was
a temporary misnomer. After supper
many Of the tourists took a launch ride
around the lake.
The fourth and last days run over
god roads served to demonstrate how
carefully man can drive his car
when he wishes to preserve perfect
record. A bulletin posted by the referee
the night before served to eliminate
any racing or passing OF cars and all
ran into Des Moines in their numerical
order.
Immediately after arriving the cars
were put thru the brake and clutch
tests and then the technical committee
got busy looking for loose bolts, nuts.
