straight through to Hutchinson
without ever havidg to get out to
work on the car at all.
The first nights control was
at Emporia, which was about $50
miles and | arrived at Emporia

Just had half hours start ahead
of them when we left Salina.
The Allen car was all the
talk along the road and it will be
for months to come, as there
were ouly eight cars able to get
into Emporia the first night.
The others never showed up I'M
til the next morning.
You will proba bly, receive a
good many inquiries from the
territory we went through. We
sold forty-two Aliens and de-
livered the three which we had at
the Fair. Got deposits on all
that we sold. It's just ques'

We certainly hope that you
will. get out several carloads this
week and as early in the week
as possible.

rats and cockroaches from their fort

Chief Miller, upon the suggestion of
the health department, to have the
dump saturated with coaloil and then
ignited

over the top of the dump. but no salts
factory results were obtained. Some
of the surface covering OF the dump
was reduced to ashes but the wise and

and It is doubtful II they knew that
there was fire on the surface.
