HUGTS Is NOT BOOSTING
NORTHERN AUTO ROUTE.

j. w. Hugus accompanied by his
father, mother and two sisters. travel
ing from Lansing, Michigan to San
Diego, arrived in Ely, Thursday, and
left the same afternoon, after getting
needed supplies from the Ely Garage
and Supply company. Mr.. Hugus
had attempted the northern route out
of Salt Lake, and he was proper sore
at the person who got him started in
that direction. According 10 his re-
ports the north of the lake route is
all right for anyone travelling by a
hydroplane or stern wheel steamer
but 1t is no place for an automobile
to venture. For long distance he
splashed along through water partial
ly submerging his machine, and when
he arrived at point where the flood
registered a depth of twelve feet, he
decided to turn back. finally getting
on to the good going of the southern
route after an extra run of about 125
miles.

clared of unsound mind as the result
of paresis. Clinton Is we'll known in
Ely district where he has resided for
a number of years, engaged principal
ly in prospecting and mining. He has
been under treatment for some time,
and was at the county hospital for
several weeks, until his condition be-
come such that it was decided to re-
move him to the Jail as a precaution-
airy measure. He was not inclined to
violence, but was given to doing un-
usual and unexpected things at all
hours of the day or night, and be-
came looked upon as dangerous. This
is the first local instance where a
state official has been sent for a pa
tient for the state hospital, and is in
compliance with an act passed by the
last legislature. whereby patients of
the state must be thus turned over to
the officer sent for the purpose.
Local officers are thereby thus re-
lieved from the responsibility of d
duty generally disagreeable and ex-
pensive, and all uncertainty is re-
moved as to whether or not the pa
tient Is rightfully a state charge. II
has sometimes happened that after a
county official has arrived at the state
hospital with his charge. the patient
would be denied admittance. the
question being raised that it was a
county rather than a state case.

relative to physicians examination

SAYS INDIANA TO COAST
TRIP HAD Dual PURPOSE

The Indiana automobile tourists
seemed very appreciative of their re-
ception in San Francisco, although no
more was done there than anywhere
else, comparatively speaking. in the
way of hospitality and courtesy. San
Francisco is a big town, with un-
limited opportunities for entertain
ment and amusement. This makes
the efforts of the citizens in the wide
stretches of the sparsely settled desert
country, to give the tourists a good
time, all the more creditable. Chair
man w. Mckay White in San Fran
cisco acknowledge the advertising OBJ
teets of the trip, as he said before
leaving for Los Angeles:
There was a dual object in the
tour of the indianapolis Manufac-
lures association to the coast. The
first was to prove the feasibility of
an oeean-to-ocean highway and the
second was to let the world know
that Indiana was on the mar as an
automobile manufacturing center
In our safe arrival in San Francisco
| feel that both objects were success
fully demonstrated. and from the
kilograms that the representatives of
the various factorie on the tour
have received from the home office
the directors are more than pleased
with what We have accomplished"

One of the chief charms of the
old Overland route from Salt Lake
to Ely Is the feeling of intimate fell
lowship ii creates between the travel
er with earth and sky. To spend a
night in the sweetness of the desert
solitude. watching the stars that
shine more clearly there than over
sea or mountain. is an experience
that raises one to new conscious
ness of the greatness of life, and sug
gests the intangible and simple kim
snip with Nature that can be felt but
not put into words. The trail also
awakens a train of historical reminis-
cence and stirs the tourist with dim
emotion of the Long Ago. Bare
and primitive structures. built when
Mark Twain crossed the plains, still
dot the landscape.
The trail winds with religious reg
ularity around mountain ranges,
across marsh and mesa, and through
valleys where thousands of idle acres
will afford bounteous prospects for
coming generation.
After leaving Grantsville-the only
town of any size on the route-the

"Whilc these bandits were

night and carried our arms during

attack us and they took to their
heels when Villas men arrived. The

WESTGARD'S CHAUFFEUR
''PRESUMPT|OUS," FIRED

After having driven A. l.. Westgard
of New York, president of the Ma
tional Highways association. nearly
5000 miles on tours across the coun-
try, Speedway" Duncan. chauffeur
of national reputation, is stranded
1900 miles from home because he
presumed TO stop at the same hotel
with his employers.
Westgard. who is vice president of
the National Highways association,
has not only discharged his driver.
but refused to pay the mans bill at
the st. Francis and Mrs Westgard,
VINO Joined her husband here, declar-
es the man shall never drive her
another foot.
Members of the Indiana automo-
bilists realized Tuesday that there
was friction between Westgard and
his driver when the former had
"Speedway's' baggage taken out of
TIE nOltl. IleiuS ol tHt VI lNti IT,
turned his effects while Duncan in
tervicwed the clerk as to his right to
stay. Finding Duncan still in the
hotel. 'Westgard discharged him and
gave emphatic notice that the bill
contracted at the st. Francis must be
paid by the driver or his friends.
How am | going to get back to
Indianapolis? Duncan is said to
have asked
You may walk for all ] care" is
the reported reply from Westgard.
Members of the Hoosier party
suggested raising a purse to help
Speedway" out. which action will
probably be unnecessary, as the Pre-
mier Automobile company. which
loaned Duncan to Westgard will send
him relief.
Westgard has ordered his ear ship
ped to Seattle and was not with the
tourists who left for Los Angeles.
