Thorne last week. The trucks were
of three-ton capacity and made the
trip without trouble and in good
time. This was the first attempt of
trucks to cross the sand between
Hawthorne and Thorne, and was
watched with much interest by the
business men here. Leaving here at
l:30, the trucks made the trip to
Thorne. loaded, and were back before
6 o'clock On being asked as to the
condition of the road, one of the
drivers stated that he had made the
entire trip on high speed, with the
exception of about 200 yards, which
was made on second speed. At no
place was it necessary to run on low
speed, This truck was loaded with
$500 popnds-500 pounds more than
capacity.
The trucks made the return trip
from Hawthorne to Sharp's in six
hours, thus proving that the Lucky
