Witt Will Motor Van Built on Lines
That Make for Economy.

Simplicity and accessibility are said to
be two prime features OF the witt-will
auto trucks. built by the W.tt-Wiu COM
pany. OF which W. W. Griffith Is president
and William F. Legg engineer. The
trucks are built especially for hauling
coal. cement and other bulky loads
In the Witt-Will trucks the engine has
been placed under the footboards and the
chassis has been shortened up so that
the truck can be turned IN the width OF
an ordinary city street without backing
or "jockeying" cfhe arrangement Is said
to save oil and gas and wear and tear on
the truck.

Chalmers a Modern Plant.
A short distance from the Hudson plant
and facing on the same avenue l found
the Chalmers Motor Car Company
speeding along and turning out it's
product at a conservative gait. Like the
Hudson plant. this one is also considered
one of the latest and most modern motor
car plants in this section OF the country
Here 3OCO employees are engaged day
after day in every available foot of floor
space in the big four-story building, with
its tn-ee long wings extending far back
to the water front, in the production of a
car which might be sale to be one of the
pioneers in the motor car market. 1t is
a banner year for the company and the
production this year probably will be
more than 1000 machines. A feature of
the plant is the heat-treating department
which at the present time is working
twenty-four hours day. The workmen
start in at o'clock in the morning and
remain at their benches or machines as
the case may be until ) in the evening.
The Chalmers plant comprises sixteen
buildings laid out over n thirty acre
site. These buildings contain 100000
square feet of manufacturing floor space.
In all there are 1900 men engaged in the
work of designing. building and testing

Will Supply 80 Per Cent.

Not only will the City of the Straits
supply 80 per cent of the entire produc-
ton of automobiles this year built in
America, but it will also lead in the ex-
portation of motor ears to foreign lands
Last year showed tremendous increase
in the foreign exports of Detroit manu-
facturers, which clearly shows that their
products have stood the test in foreign
markets
Statistics indicate that manufactured
products furnished the lions share of the
citys foreign trade last year. Among
these the Detroit-made automobile occu-
pes the premier position. England.
France. Germany and Italy have made
many efforts to check the amazing in
fiux of low-priced American cars, but
all in vain. They have been utterly un-
able to duplicate the standard at the
price at which Detroit manufacturers are
offering the cars abroad. hence the ex-
celIent field for American cars.
American genius has triunphed over the
oid-world methods. This in itself is said
to be all the more encouraging if it is re-
memDered that European competitors are
mercileSs critics of American-made cars
and the Detroit manufacturers as a re-
suit have been highly complimented upon
this achievement.
Other fields that have proved good buy
ers of Detroit-made automobiles are Cen
trail and South America. New Zealand
is said to bid fair to be an excellent mar
ket. and even the far east has come
strongly to the front BY taking adyan-
tage of the purchasing power of these
countries at opportune times, the dull

wise manufacturers. as a result. are keep
ing their eyes on these countries One
of the great sights to be seen at the
various automobile plants in this city is
the long lane of wooden boxes containing
motor cars already boxed for shipment to
foreign lands. Every precaution is taken
to see that the boxes are properly la
beled and constructed in such a manner
that nothing will happen to them while
en- route to their destinati ton special
department devotes it's entire attention to
the foreign business, and in nearly every

mote this end of the trade and meet the

ever, and today will be found in nearly
every up-to-date concern automatic ma
chinery which just can't go wrong. All
Ia man has to do is to feed it with ma

wonder how many owners of motor
cars are acquainted with the above facts.
To resume my journey through the
Overland plant. one of the most notice
BILE things which struck my eye was the
standardization and organized system
which prevailed everywhere In this
huge pant each unit performs only the
operation assigned to it. and the unin-
terrupted flow of raw material proceeds
ever onward, from tool to tool, never
doubling in it's traok, never going to the
same machine twice.
In 1909. when the Overland entered
upon it's new career. under the modern

again and again in automobile circles of
the United States as. to just what the
cycle car would really be- and as Europe
las replied to the question, matter re-
garding cars that are already famous is
interesting at this time 4 cycle car
abroad is described as vehicle with
motor of less than sixty-seven inches
displacement and weighing less than 6i2
pounds. The cycle car is the final word
in simplicity of construction for a four
wheel vehicle. 1t is used for either pas
senger or freight service. There are two
classes. the small motor car class and
the four-wheeIed motor cycle class.
The original four-wheeled motor cycle
was constructed by Barbeau of Paris
and was called the Bedalia. This ma
chine was hailed as a new type of car
and other manufacturers fell into line
with the result that the craze spread
all over Europe.
In America it is presumed that these
little cars of high speed, to carry two
passengers, will sell for about $400. 1t
IS even possible that they may sell for
as low as S20O. All cycle cars have a
narrow tread. oftentimes low as
thirty-six inches. sometimes OF forty-si%
inches. The wheel base is as long as
that of the ordinary five-passenger car.
In many instances the two passengers
travel tandem fashion, one back of the
other In some European models the
steering wheel is at the rear and the
front seat for a passenger may be re-
moved and a delivery body may be sub
stituted. BY the adoption of the motor
cycle belt drive from the counter shaft
to the rear wheel and two sizes of pull
leys for each wheel two speeds are OBJ
tanned. The clutch effect is secured by
removing the rear axle to the front or to
the rear. This loosens or tightens the
belt.
a single roller chain is used from the
motor cycle motor to the counter shaft
for the drive. The body is the frame of
the car. Seats are oftentmes of the
hammock type like garden chairs and
made OF canvas. Some cycle cars abroad
have four-cylinder motors, clutch gear
set. shaft drive. differential, expanding
brakes, etc. These are said to be too ex
pensive to rate as cycle cars. although
there is no set rule at present As to what
constitutes the rear cycle car 1t Is
claimed that such q car should have all
of the simplicity of a motor cycle. Some
claim that the cylinder area and weight
limit from the div ding line between the
cycle car and automobile. In Europe
contests are being held for this class OF
car and in this America will follow.

Clever Criminal Diverts Big Ship
 ment En Route To Market.

RAILROAD REIMsURsEs LOSS. Stock Shipped From This State Lo- cated in Wyoming Pasture.
 PRESCOTT July 19.-Cattle steal ing on the range has often taken place in the annals of western crim- inaI transactions, but when the pro- gressive rustler resorts to sidetrack- ing four carloads, that contain over 25O head, the fertility of intellect of the desperate individual baffles the keenest sIeuth to run down at the time of the commission of the deed. l, That this feat was successful car
 ried out some time ago was given publicity yesterday by George A. Carter, of the Valinda Rancho. in williamson valley, who made spe- r cial shipment of stock over one month Iago from Mayer to Garden City, Kansas; with instructions to the rail
 road that they were to be waybilled to himself in the above market, and
 by him only were they to be released. When the cars reached La Junta, however, they were diverted from fGarden City to Denver. In the lat ter city they were sold on the mar
 ket and taken to Wyoming by the
 new buyer for pasturing, where they
 were finally located after several days of energetic tracing of the ship nGnI- ESCdDllSuluS HIS OWhSl lohiP IO
 the consignment, and the railroad
 permitting the bunch to be sidetrack-
 ed after being regularly and specifi-
 cally waybilled to their destination in
 the above Kansas city, started a lively line of correspondence between the owner in Prescott and the To- peka officials of the railroad directly
 and deeply interested in the trans action, in which the original waybill figured, of course as incontrovertible evidence as to who owned the stock and who should deliver them at the
 point designated.
 MT. Carter was the recipient of
 gilt-edged check yesterday from the
 railroad company, and escapes any
 loss whatever, without going into the
 courts on a criminal transaction to
 prosecute a rustler or to have long drawn-out legal fight with railroad
 company for non-fulfl1ment of the
 carrying contract. The guilty one IS
 said to be in custody, and the whole
 transaction will be aired later in lively criminal transaction, that IS
 without a parallel in live stock cir
