A BIG MOVEMENT

Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail
way agents report one Of the biggest
colonist movements to the Dakotas
and Montana in the history Of the
line Not since 1908 1909 has there
been such travel to the northwest
and in territory tapped by the Milwau-
kee and 1t is expected the movement
Will continue for some time. The al
most unprecedented westward rush
began late in February and continued
thruout March and April.
Hundreds Of freight cars, loaded
with household goods from Illinois
Iowa and other points in the United
States are moved over the line during
that period. st. Paul agents report
that the general prosperity is largely
responsible for the land movement
and 1t Is figured by those who have
that work in charge that the number
OF homeseekers going west will be
much greater than for a decade.
1t Is reported on good authority that
in one period of three days, last
month, the Milwaukee brought over
seven hundred prospective land seek

public joint debates, so that the people
can hear both sides before they vote,
in providing for minority and majority
representation to foster lineup on
the ballot under principal so the
people can see what they vote for,
as we'll as to establish majority rule.

AUTO RUN BETWEEN
FRISCO AND Los ANGELES

Without doubt the most marvellous
road record in motor car history was
made few days ago between Los
Angeles and San Francisco. distance
Of four hundred and flfty seven miles
bver desert and mountain country.
The distance was covered by a Buick
five passenger, six cylinder car. Model
D-6-45, in the remarkable time Of ten
hours and forty-seven minutes. This
beats the previous record by one hour
and twenty-three minutes.
The automobile which made this
wonderful record carried four pasen.
gers and the time was three hours
less than that made by passenger
trains which make the run.
It will be recalled that 1t was this
same Model D-6.45 that was driven
by Geo. Tiedman which won the frst
automobile race ever run in this coun'
try. The race was part Of the at.
fractions at the Selby Fair last fall.
The car carried in that memorable
race, two other passengers besides the
driver and was entered carrying hood
top, running boards and the muffler
cut in. 1t was matched against a
we'll known make of car Of the same
rated horse power and the car was
stripped and primed for the race. The
above Buck model was driven by an
inexperienced driver and won even
tho the other car was driven by man
Of much experience. (ADV,
