phatically worded. Secretary Lansing
signed the note at seven O'Clock last

SALT LAKE RIDERS
STAY HERE TONIGHT
Schedule Calls For 80 Miles But in
Test Run This Morning Make
40 Miles An Hour

Clafilin and Zimmerman at noon to-
day decided TO remain over in Elko
tonight and go to Cobre tomorrow
morning
Baker will get his next wire from
Cheyenne where the message should
be at 6 this evening. The road is
excellent into Cheyenne. but it is
thought impossible to make up all of
the lost ten hours. Therefore the
boys feel safe in staying in EIio and
will reach Cobre in good season to-
morrow morning.
The schedule as laid down by Chair.
man Donovan now in Sacramento calls
for 80 miles an hour through Nevada
But Baker said this afternoon, They
are crazy with the heat If they think
we can make that at night"
However, Baker and McCariy are
going TO try TO make il in less than
ten hours from ElkO to Fernley. II
is probable that they will cut out
Fernley and Hazen altogether and
keep north through Wadsworth
straight on into Reno.
1t is fine road from Wadsworth
10 Reno but there are good many
crooks. Baker says he must have n
straight road to make time.
The first gas will be taken at Bat
tie Mountain, 81 miles from Elko. The
two and half gallons carried by an
Indian ordinarily should run $50 miles.
But running on low gear eats up
gas.
The first fifty miles out of Elko will
be run on high gear. They will climb
MOlcen hill on intermediates Only
part of the way will be run on low
gear.
From Battle Mountain TO Valmy, 2S
miles, the run is made on the railroad
track. and there are five cattIeguards
to cross. This means loss of time
for each dismount.
From New York TO San Francisco
there are three relay riders for each
section except through Nevada They
wanted Baker to make the run alone
from ElkO to Fernley But he found
a good man in McCarty and decided
to bring him along. Baker has had
no accident for several years nut he
wanted to make sTus no misnap de.
layed the message on his run. SO he
has Comrade In case OF accident.
Baker will do the pacing and keep
about hundred yards in the lead.
just far enough so his dust wont inter.
fcre with the trailer.
The second stop for gas will be at
Winnemucca and the third at Love.
locks. If the schedule rate is main
tained from Columbus, Nebraska, the
riders should reach Lovclock about 5
o'clock Saturday morning. Baker was
busy this afternoon taking photo.
graphs but he will leave his kodak
in Elko. One can't take pictures at
night.
Baker expects to remain on the Pa.
cific coast about three months and will
participate In a number of contests.

JOINED THE
 U. s. MARINE CORPS"

Portland, Oregon, Dec. 3.-Never having used the final "e" in her own spelling of the word Corpse" Mrs. Marceline Germain of Donaldson, Michigan, was prostrated with grief upon receipt of an official communi- cation announcing the fact that her brother Joseph Eli Jollicouer, had join ed the U. s. Marine Corps and had named her as next of kin to be noti- fled in case of death.
 If my brother is a corps, of what did he die?", she wrote to Captain H.. T. Swain in charge of the local re- cruiting station of the United States Marine Corps, who had enlisted the man and was responsible for the mo- tifcation.
 The recruiting officer, by return mail bade the sorrowing sister, cease mourning, and assured her that the "corps" to which her brother had lately attached himself was the Civ est" kind of an organization.
