Value of Automobile to the Farmer

EVERY person who has lived in the
country for any length of time has
wished at one time or another, and
perhaps often, that he had wings like a
Dird" or some other power with which
to fly quickly to town, to the postoffice
or telegraph, to the repair shop, to the
Doctors or to some other place of imme-
date need. In times of emergency the
farm horse or the roadster, no matter how
last or sure, furnishes a means of getting
there that is altogether too slow. But on
most farms the good old horse must full
NIL the wish, and he does his duty to the
best of his ability.
Faithful and willing as the horse Is,
farmers have come to know that for quick
locomotiOn there Is a better way-the
automobile. Not only for emergency
purposes, but also for ordinary business
trips, for delivery of produce, for farm
work, for numerous other economic pur-
poses, as we'll as for pleasure, the auto
mobile has come to be a necessity on
thousands of farms.
After the chores are done in the even
Ing, the owner of an automobile can reach
town in Is or 20 minutes, depending
upon the distance he has to travel. Per-
haps the housewife has run out of gro
ceries-a quick trip to town will soon re-
plenish the supply. If the farmer has
arranged with a %neighbor for a bag of
seed, 1t can be brought home in the motor
car with a great saving of time.
And speaking of saving time-what

EXPENDITURE FOR RAILROAD

The attorney general has given his oth- cial opinion that the government can use every cent of the S35000,0 900 without wait ing for further action by congress.

He can purchase as many rail roads as he wants up to that amount. the attorney general says. The idea of the at tornev general seems to be, when his words are carefully examined, that contracts up to thirty five million dollars can be made by the President, but the right of the Presl- dent to use thirty-fve million dollars in cash may be questioned before congress turns over the money formally seward Gateway.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MEN
 TELL OF KUSKOKWIM
Seattle Post -Intelligencer, Nov 0

Seattle ost-Intelligencer, Nov. 0
 A. G. Maddren and Bert Kennedy of the United States Geological Survey are registered at the Rainier Grand on their return from a summer in the middle kus kokwim river country.
 "We were making a reconnaissance ex petition along the valley" said Mir Mad dren yesterday, particularly in the Tuluk sak and Aniak basins It was a sort of scouting trip to get a line on the mineral ized areas the geological conditions and the geography of the principal streams.
 Bear creek, on the Tuluksak river, is the principal goldbearing district of the region, discovered in 190S Just now it is being prospected with drills by parties who expect to put dredge on it before very long. The history of the region is more bound up with fur trading than with min ing in the past, but 1 believe that the fur business is falling off there. There are a few trading posts along the river, owned either by the kuskokwim Commercial Com pany or the Northern Commercial Company. The latter has withdrawn two of its posts, however, fact which required us to ship in our goods on a pack train from ldltarod and carry with us supplies to last con- siderable while We travelled mostly by water, however"
 This was Mir Maddrens first summer in Nhe Kuskokwim region, though he has been going North on the work of the survey for ten years They carried along fine camera and took about 130 pictures which will be used by the survey. The two men returned from the kuskokwim on the trading schooner Bender Brothers.

THE MYSTERIOUS WHEELER

A visitor to Iditarod early in the wlnter who was surrounded by an air of mystery and for some reason seemed to avold pub Ecitv Is thus referred to in recent issue of the Ruby Record Citizen:
 This from the Nome Industrial Worker February 27;
 GA man named Wheeler, who arrived recently from the Outside, will leave to- morrow for Dawson It has 10 be con tessed that there is some curiosity about Mr. Wheeler, owing to the fact that he Is quite a regular winter visitor, but when a man keeps his business to himself people will become curious and conjecture many things all wide of the mark. It IS under stood that he will return via Dawson.
 That's the fellow. He arrived at Ruby last Sunday evening and went on up the river Thursday. By ruse he was placed m fix here where he either had to disclose the first part of bis name or appear un- necessarily rude, so he hestatingly gave his signature as D. Wheeler. On another oc- casion he was heard to confess an admlra- ton for good dogs That is all that has been learned of the intimate affairs of Mir Wheeler in his numerous pllgrlmages through this smiling land, As the Nome paper suggests, there is some curiosity about him, all right"
