OVERLAND MAKES DIFFICULT
TRIP IN ARIZONA EASILY

What is declared to be the most
strenuous hill-climbinE feat ever per-
formed by a motor car in the south
west is a trip mad by an Overland
model 81 touring car to the "Hole-in-
the-RoCk" near Phoenix, Arizona
In lieu Of q road up the steep cliff
the car was forced to push its way up
an incline Of 30 percent over a loose
gravel trail. There were two bad turns
with the path on the bare face OF the
cliff This necessit@- ed slowing down
to a speed little faster than a walk,
eliminating any advantage which might
have been gained from a flying start
Consequently the car was forced 10
make the climb entirely on its own
pulling power.
The ~Hole-iu-the- Rock has always
been said 10 be inaccessible for vehi-
cles. So far as is known, the Overland
is the only motor ctr which ever sue
cessfully negotiated the climb.
a remarkable feature of the test is
that the car was equipped with smooth
tread tires and no chains were used.

ARIZONA DATES ARE
YIELDING A RECORD
HARVEST OF SWEETS
Supt. Simmons of State Farm
Says Crop From Palms Prom
iSeS to Be the Largest in Doz-
en- Years.

PHOENIX, Sept, 1.-The largest
yield of ripe fruit in the history of
the government date orchard at Tenn
pc is expected from this seasons har-
vest that is just now underway. ac-
cording to- Superintendent f. H. Sim
mons, who was i'm town yesterday
afternoon with a crate of the delicious
fruit, some of the first to be picked
this year. Mr.. Simmons is optimistic,
he has worked with the orchard for
almost a dozen years and during any
one season he has ever witnessed
the pleasing prospects of record
breaking crop such as are presenting
themselves now at the beginning OF
the harvest.
Already the Tempe orchard has the
distinction of being the largest pro
ducing grove in the United States. OF
the trio in the state of Arizona it is
by far the larger.
THE Rhars will be the chief variety
of the date to be picked for the next
few weeks said Superintendent Sim
mons. 1T is one of the earliest ripen-
ing varieties we have and its fruit
is well of the trees before the other
varieties are ripeniug at their best.
The Birker will be ready for harvest
ing about the middle of the month,
possible a little earlier and from then
on through the next forty or fifty
days there will be the busiest lot of
pickers ever working at the date or
chard" continued Mr. Simmons.
Seven tons of the delicious date
fruit were harvested from the Tempe
orchard last year, but a yield concid
erably in excess of that is Anticipated
! this season.
The fruit from the Tempe orchard
is in constant demand During recent
| years Arizona and California markets
have been supplied and so large has
been the demand there is little doub
but that the entire harvest this season
viii be consumed principally in these
two states.
