SAYS ELECTRICS FILL
ALL MOTORING NEEDS
This Is the Opinion Of One Of
the Prominent Builders Of
the Current Cars"
ny w. c. ANDERSON.
President Anderson Electric Car Co.

For several years II has been recog.
nized that a good electric car ls a most
economical type OF automobile from the
standpoint OF operation cost The sim
piicity Of the electric and the fact that II
can be driven with safety 10y every mem.
Der OF the family have also become estab-
lished facts.
Within the past year or two the cleo
trio pleasure car has forged its way to
the front and has demanded consideration
everywhere because IL has proved itself
a practical car for motoring needs.
The question is sometimes asked why
the electric car Is the logical vehicle Tor
practically every motoring need OF n
FAMILY In the first place II Is car OF
utility. Its field OF usefulness really
knows no limits There was a time when
men hesltated at buying an electric be-
cause they felt that the zone OF operation
was too restricted To-day statistics
prove eS per cent. OF all automobile trips
do not exceed a total Of sixty miles at an
average Of twenty 20 twenty-five miles an
hour, which means that 9S per cent Of al
trips are within easy radius Of a good
electric car And for this 9S per cent. OF
trips the electric is considerably less eS-
pensive to run. 80 that. everything con-
sidered, the electric car is a wise invest
ment.
Another reason why a good electric to-
day is a practical car is based on the fact
that an electric has ample power and
hill climbing ability to 20 anywhere. This
is proved by the fact that in hilly cities

American Car for
Prince Fushinf

AN order has just been placed
Il for a closed automobile for
Prince Fushimi Of the royal family
Of Japan. The car selected by the
Japanese Ambassador at Washing
ton was a Locomobile seven pas
senger Berlin.
1t was necessary to change the
auxiliary seats from a position fac
ing forward, as is usual in closed
cars, to a position facing the rear
seat, as Japanese etiquette re-
quires that the court attendants
and retinue should at all times face
royalty and never turn their backs
upon a prince Of the blood. The
makers had to install the auxiliary
seats so that when his Imperial
Highness occupies the large seat in
the rear his attendants will occupy
the auxiliary seats, always facing
and never with their backs toward
him.

Valley City Should
Build for the Future

In the building of city like Valley
City, the element of permanency of
construction should enter largely into
the plans for the future. Too often the
perspective of the average citizen ex-
tends only to the present and likewise
as frequently the horizon of that citi-
zen does not go beyond his own indi-
vidual business interests. While men
must accumulate money from neces-
sity, and the acquisition Of wealth Is
commendable, they forget that there
are other matters of city life worthy
of a portion of their time and atten-
ton. If they themselves are not In
terested in the development Of the city
as whole, still there are usually 9TH
ers dependent upon them whose lives
crave the higher and better things;
there are public improvements which
should demand their thought and con-
sideration and the proper solution Of
which benefits every individual; there
