STUDEBAKER SHOWS
BIG SALE INCREASE
Actual Figures Reveal Gains Repre-
senting Anywhere from 25
to 500 Per Cent.

Studebaker branch houses and distrib-
utors from all parts OF the United States
show wonderful gains in sales over the
same period year ago and the company
is frankly advertising the actual figures
to show that the gain is not local to
any part Of the country.
Branches from the Atlantic to the Pa
ciic show big gains representing any
where from . to 800 per cent.
For example during the first two
weeks of September, 1914. the amount OF
Studebaker business done at the branch
in Kansas City was SlSe3S6. as
against S26,654 during the same two weeks
in 1913, and other branches show equally
significant gains during the same two
weeks thus: Chicago, 1914. S27S 453, as
against $3.50 in 1913: Atlanta, 1914. ST.,
l6S, as against 81, $50 for 9l3. Boston. 1914.
s67.5S3. as against S25, SIS in 1913. Dallas,
1914, $56,9Ol, as against SIC, ,2S9 in 1913: Min
neapolis, 1914 S14S, 464, as again S55S2 in
1873 and Philadelphia, 1s1I. s76,76l, as
against H2.7S5 in 1913.
Studebaker dealers claim that this
wonderful increase in business not only
shows national prosperity, but that the
new 1915 Studebaker cars. with their i'm
provements and refnements, have met
with instant appreciation from the auto
mobile buying public.
improvements in chassis design have
brought down the weight or both the
Studebaker Four and the Studebaker Six
150 pounds each
The present type Studebaker motor has
always been a beautiful example Of the
more recent school of motor design, but
their improvements and refinements have
increased its power and efficiency over
the design of a year or two ago.
The Studebaker -Four in a recent re-
liability run in Wisconsin covered sos
miles with a perfect score and from an
economic standpoint showed a consump-
ton of twenty-five and a half miles to
the gallon of gasoline.
Dealers everywhere are reporting the
most flattering tests for both power and
efficiency, and they claim that the pub
lie is very quick nowadays to appreei-
ate good motor. car design and for that
reason the Increase in Studebaxer busi-
ness for the last few weeks has bean re-
markably great

Paris, Oct. a-Many thrilling stories Of
the campaign are related by the wounded
lin Hertford Hospital, an institution sup
ported by the British colony. Royal
Irish FusiIlier told today how half q
dozen Germans captured him close to
the forest OF Compiegne. An interpreter
was with him. They tied him with ropes
to a tree. and intimated they would shoot
him unless he disclosed the exact position
Of Sir John French. The Irish soldier
said he would do nothing of the kind,
whereupon, two Uhlans started TO kick
him as high in the body as their boots
could reach.
Before they could render him uncon-
scious half a dozen French troopers
drove the Germans of, cut the bonds.
and took care of the injured man for two
days till the opportunity came to re-
move him to the hospital He is entirely
well again, and says his rife will never
miss another Uhlan II he can help it
An interesting invalid is Private James
Campbell, also of the Royal Irish Fusil-
liers. He was in one Of the famous
charges near Mons, and saw his brother
Jack killed at his side by a shell. He

found a spacious farmhouse within

Two shells had hit it, he said, but

I'VE had been thirteen hours under
continual fire. Just before dark the guns
ceased. and We both charged at the same
time. In hand to hand fighting the Ger
mans are no match for US, and a few
minutes acquaintance with cold steel was
enough to send them flying. We halted,
dropped on to our knees, and the ground
became black with their bodies.
When, what was left of our platoon,
which had been drawn into a wood, re-
turned at daylight the hospital was
heap Of smoldering ruins. Not a single
one Of the sixty charred bodies was
recognizable.

he spent some 500 francs a year OF his

dissatisfied.
Despises Tango Dances.
As a rigid moralist, Mgr. Della Chiesa
entertained a special dislike for dances
Of doubtful taste. more especially for
the tango. He was the first bishop TO
condemn the tango in Italy. and his pas
toral letter warning the Bolognese not to
indulge in the new dances preceded only
a few days that issued by the Vicar of
Rome. Naturally he made many victims
among the dancing masters Of Bologna,
and when one of these appealed to him
in order to explain to him what the dance
consisted Of the archbishop replied:
Never. / will rather give you 1900
francs"
And pushing q roll of Sanknotes in the
astonished professors hands he added
with show Of mighty severity:
Come for more when you need it."

Nor does he disdain a certain form

nieces and nephews.
Although a hard worker, the new pom

eve OF his periodical visits to the many
parishes Of his vast archdiocese he used
to send a circular letter to the priests
warning lheIn against BOllB 70 tOo HluSh
trouble on account of his visit. In one
instance the parish priest thought
the bishop sent this circular in order to
avoid him embarrassment and prepared
an elaborate dinner. After the second
course had been consumed, the arch
bishop, seeing that third was coming,
asked the priest whether there were any
poor in his parish. The priest, expecting
a donation, said:
"Oh, yes; they are plentiful"
Annoyed and angry, the archbishop re-
piled:
We'll, one would not think so. judging
by the quantity Of viands you have pre-
pared. Give them to the poor"

Booze Kills a Bear

Glenn's Ferry Gazette: Consider
able attention among sportsmen and
others was attracted here Sunday by
the skin of half-grown black bear
exhibited by a workman who stopped
off while enroute from the upper end
of the Idaho Northern, where he had
been engaged in railroad construction
work and where by chance he man.
aged to nail the natural owner of the
skin with pick-axe as his only wea-
pom. The man was working on a
grade which runs along high cliff
when slight landslide precipitated
the bearlet directly in front of him.
He Immediately bounced on the ami
NAL and put it to sleep with gentle
tap of his pick.
AS the bear seemed to refuse to
die, the man, knowing the reviving
influence of whiskey, took it into the
town of Lakeport and proceeded to adj
minister one of the popular prescrip-
tions of DR.. j. Barleycorn. Though
the exact brand Of the stuff is not
known, the suddenness with which the
animal subsequently departed for the
great beyond of beardom gives logical
ground for presuming that it was
some sort of bootleg material.

One Good Paper

One good weekly newspaper, devot-
ed to the upbuilding of Orofino and
Clearwater county, would be far bet
ter for the county, and particularly
for Orofino, than two half-starved pa
pers, position the Clearwater Re-
publican has maintained from the be-
ginning. The idea is not original
with us. 1t has been worked out in
various communities, where the bust
ness men, firing Of the burden of sup
porting two poor papers, have COM
bined on one, to the advantage of the
town. The Republican hopes to be
the one paper in Orofino, and should
be, provided the Republican is best
able to deliver the right sort of goods.
By this we mean paper best able to
serve the community as it deserves to
be served by whatevre paper is to &C.
cupy this field. Such paper must of
necessity be broad, devoted primarily
to the upbuilding of the town and the
county, opening the columns alike to
all political parties. There would be
no necessity for the democrats to carry
the burden of party organ under
such an arrangement, and the incent-
i've for bitter newspaper rows would
not exist.

Two beautiful Christmas trees were
enjoyed in Orotino Wednesday night.

tree greeted the childen, and fine
program was rendered. A feature Of
great interest to the children was the
big fireplace, as natural as though it
was really truly fireplace, formed
the background of the pulpit, trans
formed into stage for the occasion.
Everybody was remembered when the
candy was distributed.
At the Christian church another
program was rendred, and much en-
joyed. All the numbers were good.
A large beautifully decorated tree
filled one corner Of the room, and at
the appointed time candy, nuts and
oranges were distributed. Everybody
in the church was given treat.

The criminal and civil libel suits
aaginst the editor of the Clearwater
Republican will probably come up the
latter part of January, when the mat
tiers will be aired in court, and these
cases finally disposed of. They will
be jury trials, and will probably be
the most expensive, bitter and long
drawn out litigation in the history of
the county, or in any western county,
for that matter. There are five of
these cases, two for civil damages
in the sum of $50, 900, and three GRIM
inal libel, growing out of the recent
political fight in Clearwater county.
Owing to the intense bitterness exist
ing, and the publicity already given
these cases, the trials will attract a
great deal Of attention, not only here,
but throughout the Northwest.

Some War s. atistics

One of the things frequently noted
by soldiers at the front in writing to
relatives and friends is the extraor-
binary expenditure of bullets required
to kill a man. A Geramn report
states that many German soldiers
fired 1900 cartridges apiece during
the first four months Of the war. An
English observer estimates that 25
German shells are " sted fqr every
man killed by them.
In 1870 it was calculated that the
Germans fired $50 bullets and six
sharpnel shells for every wounded
Frenchman. In the Russian-Japanese
war 1T is said 1900 bullets were fired
for every life lost.
