Although strictly a modern enterprise
in every way, the story OF the remark

Years, reads more like an improbable

they had built up one OF the finast

FORD MOTOR CO.
SURPRISES RECORDS

Detroit, Mich, July 1s.-Three
years ago if sou had told anyone that
a single automobile company would
build more than two hundred thou
sand automobiles in a year that per-
son would have thought that probably
you were harmless but ought not be
allowed 10 run at large as you might
suddenly become violent. But In
nine months the Ford Motor company
has done better than reach the two
hundred thousand mark. IT has built
and sold tao hundred and three thou
sa nd one hundred. and ninety-feur
cars from October t. 1919, up TO July
/, 1911.
In other words an average of bet
ter than twenty two thousand five
hundred Fords have been built and
sold every month for the first nine
months of the company's fiscal year.
Last years production of Fords was
about one hundred and eighty five
thousand ears. This mark was pass
cd by this years production in tho
middle of May.
1t Is almost impossible to conceive
OF two hundred thousand automo-
biles Only by comparison may one
really grasp what this huge figure
If all the Fords built and sold so
far this year were placed in line
half mile apart, they would reach
around the world four time.
If the entire populations of the
cities of Detroit and Baltimore want
ed to hold a Joint picnic, the Fords
built this year could easily take all
the people to the picnic grounds in
one trip. Or this years Fords could
carry three armies the size OF the
American army engaged in the Span
ish-American war. Or they could
carry at one trip nearly half of all
the men that fought In the War Be
tween the States.
Or. getting at 1t from an other an
gle, the total horse power of the mo-
tors In these Fords, figuring twenty
horse power to a motor is more than
two-thirds the horse power of all the
developed water-power in the United
States. IT is sixty times greater than
the power plants of the Imperator,
the Lusitania. or the Mauretania. and
twenty times greater than the power
developed by the dam on the Mis-
sissippi at Keokuk, Ill.

tbs Federal officials recognized the
necessity Of constant expansion, over
year ago. they appointed Edward

one of the best known engineers in
the business.
superintendent Hutchens estimates
that over $1,000 coo has been eSpend-
ed in new machinery and buildings in
the past three years. OF the eight
acres owned by the Federal company,
six and one-half acres are covered with
buildings, and big portion of the re-

One Man Dead and Another Insane
After Terrible Experience.
Three days without food in rattle
snake and tarantula infested ravine
named Devils canyon cost the life of
Ernest Sutton and wrecked the mind
of his companion. whose name is
thought to be Willard, both of Den
yer. The news was telegraphed to
Denver by Sheriff Hall at Ray. Ariz..
where Willard was attended by physi-
clans.
Willard stumbled into the camp of
a Mexican and. though starved and
delirious. managed to gasp out his sto-
~ before he became raving. Sutton
and Willard. musicians. left Denver
for trip through the mining camps,
believing they could make their way
as troubadors. They started for Globe
and Miami. making the journey on
foot.
Neither was familiar with the coun-
try, and they lost the trail and wan
dered into Devils canyon. Threaten
ed by tarantulas. snakes and gila mon
sters for three days and nights, they
stumbled along. fearing they would
fall victims to poisonous reptiles If
they slept.
When night fell on the third day
Sutton. weak with hunger. slipped on
a loose rock and plunged into stream.
Willard kept on. and in the morning
he had reached the mouth of the can
yon and the camp of Mexican, who
carried him to Ray. Searchers found
Sutton's body.

and about ten o'clock in the evening
it increased to- "a perfect gale, and con-
tinued the greater part of the night.
Everything of light or movable
nature was sent flying through the
air. The roof on the north side of
George Perkins house was taken off
and moved several rods.
In T. C. McClure's lumber yard the
wind made sad havoc, scattering the
lumber in every direction, and tearing
it into splinters. A thousand dollars
would scarcely cover the amount of
lumber destroyed, to say nothing of
the labor which it will require 20
straighten up the scattered boards.
At the sash and door factory the
smoke-stack was blown down and bad
ly smashed.
One chimney was taken off Bar
NUNS hotel, one off the house of Fl.
A. Boobar, and one chimney was
blown off the Presbyterian Church,
and few lights of glass broken out
of the windows. Out houses in every
part of town were turned upside
down and shifted from one quarter to
another.
We have not learned the extent of
the damage in the country, but judg-
ing from the force of the gale in town,
it must have been fearful in the open
country, and we expect to hear of con-
siderable damage to fences and farm
buildings.
