pany also takes a radical departure,
the motor is the same valve in tn
head type to which has been largely
attributable Buick success. Every
pleasure car model is equipped with
the Delco self-starter which combines
start ng. lighting and ignition. The
Buick SIX is one of the sensations of
the season. All models except the
SIX come in both roadster and five
passenger bodies, in addition to which
is a coupe on the B-36 and B-3l
chassis. A universal torson yoke

the hood is rounded to blend more
oorfectly with the fiaring cowl of the
body.
The essential changes which char.
acterize the 1914 Cadillac are, first
and most important, the two speed
ayle, which affords two rect drives
thereby doubling the means of pro-
noting the economical and eff cient
appl' cation of the power developed
by the engine to the driving OF the
car. The use of the high direct drive
also makes possible a material re-
duction in the speed of the engine Tor
any given car speed. Changes are
also seen IN the simpllied electrical
system, which ell inmates much or the
wiring. The speed of the cranking
device has been increased. The car

works preparatory to loading it on

They had the machine loaded on the

For Better Service.

Complaint having been made to
the Utilities Comm lssion regarding
the passenger service over the Short
Line through this place, it is expect
ed that representative of the COM
mission will be in Jerome tomorrow
to meet a committee from the Bust
ness Mems Association, to talk over
this and other matters connected with
the railroad service here.

doka connections up with the road.
to eliminate the long waits at that
point for the Twin Falls trains. They
ask that the morning passenger be
held at Minidoka for an hour and
half to connect with the main line
train No. 5. There is now a wait OF
four hours at Minidoka for connec-
ton from No. with the evening
train on the branch. The change, If
effected, will occasion wait of only
one hour for the east-bound main
line passenger in the morning.
AS the trains over this branch now
run, there is no such thing as max
ing connections with the west bound
trains at Minidoka, and passengers
for Jerome are carried around by the
way of Bliss arriving here the next
day. 1t has often been reported that
13 and IA would be run over this
branch, and we mistake not this serv-
ice could be secured if there was a
concerted request made from all
points along the line.
