An Automobile
Creates Surprise
When Seen On SireetS---BFOueht
Here 10 Ship

Some little surprise Tas caused
Wednesday boy the APPEARANCE OF a
large touring automobile on the
streets Of our city.
Knowing that no such car WAS own
ed ia the city aud that iugress to the
city was CIT eff from the north by
high water, except by boat or train.
the people could ouly wonder where
the car hAd come from, as it was
known that no caT could possibly
pass through the hills from any Other
direction at this season of the year.
The car was Stevens DuryeB own
ed by the Washington Motor Co., aud
W. r. Deem. sales manager Of that
company. was taking It to Missoula.
lie had started from Spokane with
the intention of driving it to Wal
lace. Upon reaching Coeur d'Alene
he learned that the road through
Fourth of July canyon was lmpa e.
able on account of washouts aud deep
snow IN the canoyu.
lie thereupon drove the car on one
of the Red COLLAR Line steamers and
brought 10 TO this city Urou arriv-
ing here he loaded SC i'm freight car
aud shipped it to Missoula.
A little Incident happened al
Cneurd 'Alene that shows the strength
and pulling capacity Of this car A
loaded freight car had been run down
on the dock aud left IN such posi-
tiun that it rendered &c impossible to
get the automobile ON the boat No
engine oouh be had at that zine of
day to move the car. so at his request
rope was procured for Mr.. Deem
and he hitohei hia automobile 90 the
freight car. At the first trial the
wheels spun around, but the car re-
fused to move. he then had the an
tomobile loaded down so that the
heels would stick and easily pulled
the car out Of the way, and that up a
stiff grade.

One Demonstrates Ability

One of the most amusing of incidents

argument about whether or not one
Of them could swim, the one whose

clearly that he could, jumping into
the 10y cold water of the river aud
swimming for some distance.
The two men we're standing close
to the railing just east of the Red
Collar line ticket Office, arguing
about several different things, there
seeming to be nothing upon which
they could agree. Finally the con-
versation turned to the telling of
their exploits, and one of the men
told in glowing words sturies Of diff
ferent occasions upon which he had
been obliged to swim long distances.
The second jack doubted his word and
told him that he WIS trying to hand
him something, that he could not
swim a stroke.
The Argument grew stronger until

bystanders, who came hurrying up

Building Ordinance
Necessary

Although at the present time tie
business conditions ale somewhat I'M

high water, and the past extremely
hard winter, yet st. Maries is show

With this growth not only q posi-

regarding a new building and FIRE or

opinion that the new business struct-

fireproof buildings constructed OF
either brick or stone, IN place Of the
numerous frame structures that eau
only be classed as semi-pTemaueut at
the best.
There il hardly a city 10 the ooun-
try hut what sooner or later has en-

the city. There is nothing that i'm

its substantial up.to date business

of the city.

strong argument which Las been
brought against the early iuauguIa-
tion of such ordinances 10 cities of
small size is that It decreases the
building activity, 10 THAT the add.

While this may be true 10 a sense,
yet the same argument applies as IS

in this section OF the state this spring
in the work of setting orchards of
Elberta peaches. 1t Is estimated that
fully 500 acres now are set in new
trees and this much land added to the
commercial orchards area already in
the county will make Carter county
peach country. AS the acreage is
increased and as long as the fruit
growers association perfect market
ing plans the acreage increase will
be maintained.
