way and test-hill which is nearing
completion on the grounds OF Dodge
Brother, the big Detroit motor car
manufacturers. Built to take care of

Dodge Brothers new test track has
all the permanence of the speedway
built for ~hippodrome performances.
When finished within the next
thirty days, over 215,OO0 feet of lum-
Der will have gone into the construs-
ton of the new track. The speedway
is built on a foundation Of clay and
cinders, banked at the turns to allow
high speed tests, and is surfaced with
a fine grade Of pine planking which

The construction of the test-hill in
the center of the speedway enclosure
is striking example of bringing the
mountain to Mahomet. AS practically
all the country in the vicinity Of De-
troit is a fiat plain, the special advan-
tages Of hill-testing are denied to
motor car makers. Dodge Brothers
very sensibly decided to provide an
artificial hill, and a steel structure
SAP feet long and 80 feet wide Is al
ready under way. The steel hill has
two approaches with varying grades,
allowing testers to try out the climb
ing ability, of the car on gradual and
steep ascents:
The speedway test is but. one of
many given Dodge Brothers: cars be-
fore being O.K'd for shipment. All
motors are first worked out under ell

gasoline block-testing room. Each
motor must then produce a giyen
amount of power on the dynamo-nleter

COME TO RESCUE OF BRUIN
Threatened With Extinction, Brother
Bear Has Found That He Has
Some Friends. \

Since the bear flag" days bruin has
been an accepted symbolic represen.
tative of the Golden state. He occu-
pies place on its great seal, and, in.
deed, has become sort of institution.
When he Is not working at his more
dignified job he engages in picking up
acorns, acting as scavenger around
mountain camps and making an occa.
sional raid upon farms in the hills.
He has come to be known, In private
life, as q rather amiable and lazy fel.
low, if undisturbed, and indeed 1t may
be claimed for him that he has q host
of friends.
But bruin, in the wild, has come close
to the great divide. For many years
he has made sport for the hunter dur.
ing the summer, and for the trapper at
all seasons. Nowadays there are not
very many of him. Extinction is i'm
minent. He is about to 60 the way Of
many another distinguished brute.
A Siskiyou county legislator has
rushed to his relief with a bill prohibit.
ing the killing of bears during the
summer and eliminating at all seasons
the trapping privilege. A like meas.
ure, 1t is said, Is finding its way into
numerous western legislatures, and Is
being supported rather than opposed
by sportsmen. It is their hope that
bruin will be able to maintain his

Dry Prospects.

One hundred years of continuous
rainfall records have recently been
completed in New Bedford, Mass, and
serve to disprove thoroughly the com.
mon belief that the climate is not so
good as It used to be. Only half as
many dry periods occurred In the last
fifty years as in the first fifty years;
so that the records really are a warn.
ing for that section at least, to expect
more dry periods in the next genera
'tion. The recent decades have been
fortunate above the average, and con.
sequently the next few decades are
quite likely to paw. the bill. o%,..
The records were started In 1914 by
Samuel Rodman, and continued by him
until his death, in 1876. His son then
kept them until his death, in 1905. For
more than ninety-one years the rain
fall was carefully recorded for exactly
the same spot in the same yard. The
chief engineer of the state health de-
partment has now completed the hun.
dred years Of figures by obtaining the
late records from another observer il
New Bedford, taken 9 few miles from
the Rodman place.
The average annual rainfall was
46.45 inches; but in the first fifty years
there were four very marked dry pc
RODS of two or three years each. In
the last fifty years there were only
two such dry periods. Saturday Eve

SUITS ! ! B [! 4 Sides {
Prohibitiopists Forsee Drier State
Liquor Advocates Sure It
Means Resubmission.

Fargo, N. D., April 2O.-Attorne!
General H. j. Linde has done the
seemingly impossible. He has pleased
both the prohibitionists and the re
submissionists by securing a temper
ary Injunction against the Northern
Pacific to prevent liquor shipments
into North Dakota.
Judge Charles A. Pollock, signing
the injunction which prevents the rail
way from handling liquor shipments
into the state temporarily, fixed May
3 as the date for arguments on con
tinuing the Injunction.
The railway is accused of permit
ting the use of fictitious names by the
recipients OF liquor, in direct contra
vention of the state law.
Some Difference in Point Of View.
Prohibition leaders believe they
now have the means of eliminating
liquor shipments and sales in North
Dakota. They are decidedly optimis.
tic over the action of the attorney
general. But no matter what the de.
cisiOn of the state courts may be
the matter will be carried to the Unit.
ed States supreme court for final
decision.
The liquor advocates are just as.
jubilant as the prohibitionists They
insist that if all railways are prevent
ed from making liquor shipments it
will insure the resubmission of the
liquor question. .,-..
LESS than Is per cent of those who
voted for statewide prohibition in
1889 are now voting in North Dako-
ta,'' stated a resubmissionist, today.
I'VE have failed each year to have
the matter resubmitted We believe
the present generation Of voters
should be permitted to decide the
question for themselves and we feel
that if the North Dakota prohibition
law should be held alright by the
courts we can secure sufficient num-
Der of votes othaye the sale of liquor
restored. The prohibitionists have
been in control and have refused us
a vote"
Cold Water Men Confident.
The idea that North Dakota will
ever revert to the saloon days, that
the people will permit the sale Of
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1915-04-21

liquor after the success of the past
quarter of a century with prohibition
and in the face of the nationwide
prohibition sentiment, is secuted by
the cold, water people. They contend
there has never been any doubt as to
the result of resubmission vote, but
that they opposed it as needless and
ridiculous agitation.
Whether the position of the attor-
ney general will stand the test Of the
courts is the all absorbing question
now being discussed by the people of
the state. The North Dakota law,
while it is designed to prevent liquor
shipments for personal use, unless
it is changed individuals will still be
able to secure personal shipments re

WANT BOUNTY ON RABBITS
Nevada Ranchers Fear Present Open
Winter viii Cause Big
Increase In Pest

It is stated that rabbits are becom-
ing very numerous all over this part
of Nevada. One person has made
the statement to the Wells Herald
that there is a rabbit under every
BRUSH" 1t will be remembered that
during the past Summer the rabbits
caused a large loss to growing crops,
hardly a farmer in this section of
Nevada escaping their ravages. In
some instances entire fields of grow
ing grain and vegetables we're COM
pletely ruined. Owing to the fact
that the present is proving to be a
very open Winter. great fear is ex-
pressed that the country will be
overrun this Summer, unless some
thing is done to relieve the situation.
Many of the farmers who have
been interviewed on the matter are
in favor of the present Legislature
placing a bounty on rabbits that will
be an incentive to hunt them and aid
in their obstruction. There is a
bounty on coyotes and other noxious
animals for the benefit of the stock
men. and it seems no more than right
that a bounty should be placed on
rabbits for the benefit of the farmers.
small and large alike. 1t seems nee
essary that something shouldbe done.
The small farmer pays his proportion
of the taxes, in many cases paying
nearer to his actual valuation than
the bigger fellow, and he certainly
is entitled to consideration at the
hands Of the legislators.
