Judge McCarrell on
Municipal improvements

Judge McCarrell, who returned this
week from a summers outing at
Eaglesmere, is greatly interested in
the celebration of the improvements
and expressed himself to-day in these
words: I'VE are Just beginning to
properly appreciate the value of the
public improvements which have been
made in the last fifteen years. Our
improved sewerage system, our paved
streets our parks, Fairgrounds and
filtration plant are a matter of pride
and delight to every citizen. AS we
look at what has been done no one
can seriously doubt the wisdom of the
expenditure which has produced these
results. The improvement which, in
my opinion, is closest to the welfare of
every citizen is our splendid filtration
plant. Every resident of the city is
enjoying its benefits, and the relief
from disease which has been brought
about through its operation has
brought comfort to every home in the
city. and for this improvement our
people should be particularly grateful"

Studebaker Agency With
Local Ford Sales Company

P. Driscoll, manager of the Ford
Sales Co. has received the first Stude-
baker demonstrator and will represent
this line of cars in addition to the
Ford. AS the cars are in different
price class there will be no conflict
whatever In speaking of a Stude-
baker transcontinental run, Mr.. Dris-
coll said:
The performance of the Studebaker
car in the coast-to-coast tour of the
Lincoln Highway is regarded Dy
motorists as being little short of
phenomenal. Travelling country rough
from hills and mountains, and over
roads rutted and water logged in
places where highway improvement
was under way by the unusual rains
of the present year, the Studebaker
made the 5,373 miles from New York
to San Francisco without replacement
of a single part. Nor was it neces-
sary to take down the motor or over
haul 1t, during the trip. Not only was
the staunchness of the Studebaker for
long distance touring and hard usage
proven. but the fact which is decidedly
interesting to motorists, was developed
that Studebaker service stations aver
age one to every 31.5 miles along the
Lincoln Highway, and also, that be-
tween New York City and Laramie
Wyo., a distance of 2041 miles, there
are but three instances where an au-
tomobile tourist need travel further
than so miles to find a Studebaker
representative. The longest of these
three stretches is 73 miles.
The highway trip was for the pur-
pose of making motion pictures of
the route and its many points of in
terest, that are to be exhibited over the
country. The start was made from
New York City Saturday, May Is, and
the trip was completed August %,
requiring longer time than the sched-
ule first called for, due to inclement
weather interfering with the work of
the camera men. The Studebaker not
only covered the 5,375 miles without
replacement of a single part, or re-
quiring engine overhauling, but it at
tanned the remarkable average of 49,
miles per gallon gasoline. This despite
the fact that the route crosses three
mountain ranges. The car has been
placed in the Palace of Transportation
remain there until the close. 1t looks
and runs as WELL according to r.. c.
Sackett, the Studebaker representa-
tive on the trip, as the day the rear
wheels dipped into the Atlantic at
Coney Island, headed for the Pacific.
At the end, to make it an actual ocean
to-ocean journey, the fore wheels of
the Studebaker, Packard and Stutz
cars, comprising the cavalcade, were
run into the Pacific.
The transcontinental tourists were
met outside of Oakland by Mayor
| Rolph, of San Francisco, heading 500
automobiles, which served as an escoI t
into the exposition grounds, where
! they We're received with honors betit-
| ting an event of such national inter-
| est and Importance"

1t is stated that in addition to the
mission all the better buildings in the
city were burned, including the home
of the governor and the headquarters
of the Armenian government. The
massacre, the missionaries report, was
directed by Jevdet Bey who had burn

the first siege of Van in the early
summer. When Jevdet returned he
took a terrible vengeance for the rails

Chandler Skies Proving
Popular in Local District

Andrew Redmond reports a COM

stock this week, but was fortunate in
receiving another shipment yesterday.
IN speaking of the Chambers success
Mr.. Redmond said: After all, per-
maps the real test of a car is not its
ability to rush a hill or steep grade,
but the fact that 1t can take the grade
at low speed without visible distress
to the motor. In the Ashland contest,
the Chandler Six won the event. de-

highly important friends of DR.. Keene
and Mr.. Enders point out, that the
people should have full confidence in
their school directors, especially since
the needs of the city are approaching
a crisis with respect to the building
of a new high school.
The names of NIessrs. Enders and
Keene and A. Carson Stamm have
been linked by Republicans as men of
high standing in the community and
who would be as independent in
school affairs as they have been in
private life. There is absolutely no

pledged to anybody or anything other
than a proper administration of the
office if elected and indications were
bright to-day for victory for all three

day to the ward contests by alder

are Washington county candidates as
well.
AS usual Charles P. Walter has both
the Democratic and Republican nom
nations "cinched" in the Eighth ward
while George A. Hoverter is unop-
posed for denomination by the Re-
