STATE IN GRAND forks TOMORROW

"1n all my experience covering over
fourteen years in tn eautomobile bust
ness, 1t has never been my lot to feel
SO sanguine as to the outlook for bust
ness for the coming year. Our company
is a $3S,000,000 corporation, headed by
Walter e. Flanders whose ability as
a manufacturer and. production mar
is we'll known everywhere. Added to
this he has surrounded himself in De-
troit with a corps of assistants and
executives whose one great work seems
to be the assistance they can give the
agent. Their facilities for handling a
production as large as we will have for
1914 is nothing short Of wonderful for
they are already under way to build
about $4,000 cars.
c. M. Strictly, personal representa-
tive in the field, will also be our guest
tomorrow having come here to talk
with the. agents meet them on their
own ground. and tell them just what
the factory is, trying to do to assist
them. and also take back with him in
formation that will be of use to the

Rip Van Wrinkle of the Desert.

H. H. McVaughaen, a 74-year-old
desert scout, looked out of the win
dow of a Pullman, he felt like Rip
Van Wrinkle awaking from his 20
year sleep.
The train was rushing him through
a new world.
For 20 years he was buried in the
depths of Death Valley. For 80 years
before that he was an Indian fighter
and desert scout, and his record is
one of continuous, thrilling adven-
tUre.

why, there's something doing
every minute in Death Valley. When
you're wrestling with eight mines,
hunting lost tenderfoots, searching
for lost mines, you don't get lone
some.
There are 800 people in my Sec
ton of the valley. We. regard that as
a big crowd. It seems to us of the
desert that we're living in congested
quarters when we can see our near
est neighbours roof over the horizon"
McVaughaen is recognized by the
U. S. government as its greatest hv-
ing scout. He has found 387 men and
women wandering, lost and dying
from thirst in the desert.
His most notable exploit was guild
ing a government expedition against
Geronimo, the famous Indian war
rioF.
He qualified for a hero medal by
crawling six miles over the burning
sands, without water, dragging a
shattered leg, to save tendeTfoot
who lost himself hunting for a cache
of gold.
McVaughaen discovered Bullion
Mountain, the famous hill of gold.
He has eight mines and dug the shaft
on each himself. From them he has
realized 100000.
The state employs him as a mine
expert.
