SPEEDWAY EXCELLENT

The best stretch of road encounter
ed in the days run was the speedway
from Taylor to Dickinson, eighteen
miles of near perfect earth roads
which are certain proof that with
ordinary care and exercise of reason
able intelligence, North Dakota has
the very best of facilities for road
building.
The road is wide, sensibly crowned,
and has been frequently dragged. In
the entire distance not dozen ruts
were encountered, and it was real
pleasure to spin along, up hill and
down, with all pleasurable sensations
afforded by roller-coaster, minus the
attendant dangers.
The Stark county commissioners
cannot be too highly commended for
the work they have done on the Red
Trail. Other counties could we'll al
ford to pay the expense of junket-
ing trip to Dickinson for their coun-
ty boards and highway engineers in
order that they may profit from this
excellent example,, ,.
Morton county is not far behind.
Conditions in Morton county perhaps
preset greater difficulties than does
the road from Taylor to Dickinson.
The Morton county commissioners,
however, have had several tractor
grading outfits over the Trail, and
there were many stretches Of fast
road out of Mandan. Road crews
were encamped at various points en-
route, and it is apparent that I'm
perial Morton" is thoroughly alive to
the Importance of making the Red
Trail at least Fairly possible for the
hundreds of tourists who will use it
this summer BIC,
A number of parties were encoun-
tered enroute from the Yellowstone,
proving that traffic over the trail has
become steady, everyday PROPOSE
tours or extraordinary stimulants, and
every satisfied tourist who returns
home is a living, walking talking av-
vertisement for the trail and the
il traVerses.

Dickinson is a live wire city

Dickinson is a live wire city.
1t probably has more new, well-de-
signed, substantial business blocks
than any other city on the Red Trail
between the Twin Cities and the
coast.
OF course, Dickinson has big
brick works, but it also has the peo-
pie to lay the brick, and that is the
important thing.
Dickinson is laid out much the
same as Bismarck There is COM
pact, almost square, business district
of several blocks. The streets are
wide, carefully crowned and oiled.
There is little dust, no ruts or chuck
holes. Paving would offer the only
possible improvement over the pres
ent thoroughfares.
Dickinson has an attractive boule-
ward lighting system. It's store fronts
are modern attractive and filled with
excellent stocks of goods. There is a
three-story department store, which
occupies it's own building. There is
a new bank building, which will stand
comparison with anything to be found
in any city of 10000.
Dicknsons people-the people one
meets and the people one sees on the
streets-explain the reason for the
splendid spirit apparent in the Stark
county seat. They are bright, CHEEKY,
optimistic folks people who have
faith in themselves and in their home
town; people who are willing to back
up their faith with good works.
Dickinson will bear watching. 1t
is close on the trail of North Dakota's
first four cities, and with the bigr
growing territory which it serves,
Dickinson cannot long be kept in fifth
place.

ming the company friends all along

There was a time not long ago
when railroad corporations were in
clined to discourage automobile tour
ing, under the misapprehension that
motor-trails interfered with legitimate
pasener traffic. The Northern Pa
ciffic, apparently, takes the broader
view that anything which tends to de-
velop it's territory is good for the
railroad, and it recognizes in such
transcontinental highways as the Red
Trail an important factor in the up
building of the country which it
serves.
The Sociability tour unquestionably
is decided success, which reflects
credit upon everyone who is connect
ed with it. The tour is bringing to
the Northwest more favorable atten-
ton from people of means and posi-
ton than any movement which has
been inaugurated in recent years and,

'SK|MP|NG ON OIL
IS POOR POLICY
Head of Studebaker Service De.
partment Advocates Replace
ing of Lubricant Often.

"The car owner who takes pride in
telling how he has covered LOCO,
1900 or 1000 miles on a gallon Of
motor oil is practically false econo-
my" says Max Hagelstine, manager of
service department of the Studebaker
Corporation. "The great mileage rec
ord he boasts of per gallon of oil may
sound impressive, but while such an
owner is saving the price of several
gallons of oil, he is setting up wear
in the working parts of the motor,
which will eventually cost more to
replace than any amount of oil that
would have been used.
Motor OIL, no matter how good.
loses it's lubricatng qualities after be-
ing in the motor certain length OF
time, especially in hot weather. Is
disintegrates, leaving only remnant
of what was once good motor oil, and
it has no value as far as fabrication
is concerned.
''The wise owner will drain all the
oil from the crank case of his car
every 1000 miles of service, regard
less of how much oil still there at
the time. He will then replace with
good, fresh, clean oil. In doing this
regularly, he will prolong the life OF
his car indefinitely.
Another place where lack OF lubri-
cation can do damage is in the rear
axle and transmission. For here &C.
ton of the gears has the same effect
upon grease as the action of working
parts of the motor has on oil. 1t robs
the grease in time of the lubricating
qualities by the process of disintegra-
ton.
IF the owner will take care in ad-
ding fresh grease every 1900 miles
It is not necessary to replace the sup
ply which is in the rear axle and
transmission at the time-he will save
many dollar in the long run.
1T is well enough recognized that
fabrication is the life of a motor car.
It is fact, too, that many owners
keep enough oil and grease in their
cars. But the freshness of the lubri-
cant requires attention and Is OF
greater importance than the quality.
We impress this point on Studebaker
owners. Every dollar spent by the
owner OF proper fabrication saves ten
dollars in other expenses. aside from
the annoyances of poor operation and
the delays due to trying to make q
gallon Of oil or few pounds OF
grease perform their functions when
they become 'pepless' from too long
service"

CROPS ARE ALL IN
GOOD CONDITION
Tourists See Excellent Grains on
Their Journey as Far as
Dickinson.
By : Staff Corresnondent


Hebron, N. D., July 24.-The "bread
basket of the world" is working true
to form. Never have there been seen
better crops of all kinds than present
ed themselves for the tourists inspec-
ton all the way from Bismarck to
Dickinson. Rye, flax, oats, barley,
wheat, and, perhaps most important
of all, corn, appear to be in perfect
condition.
The wheat showed no evidences of
rust or other damage visible to the
layman's eye. The stand is very
heavy and the heads appeared to be
large and we'll filled. Everywhere it
was apparent that the rainfall had
been abundant, and the large per-
centage of we'll cultivated lands was
very gratifying.
Certain evidence of the general
prosperity Of the region west of the
Missouri was found in the handsome
farm homes, substantial, commodious
barns, great herds of sleek, pure bred
horses and cattle, motor cars and we'll
dressed, happy families. Farmers
telephone lines are general. Many
of the farms enjoy the advantage Of
individual water plants and home-gen-
Grated electricity for light and pow
er. Nowhere is there any indication
of isolation or loneliness. Good roads
connect neighbor with neighbor and
town with town. The towns, with
their white ways, their splendid, mod
ern business houses, their theatres
and other amusement devices, reflect
the spirit of the country.

ENTHUSIASM GREETS
Il" . REDUCED PRICES
Public Displays Deep Interest in
Standardized Car at Less
Money.

When the Maxwell Motor Company
announced July l the generous reduc-
ton in price on its touring car and
roadster, the executives were prepar.
ed for somewhat increased demand
for the Maxwell product. But they
were not prepared for the tremendous
influx of business that followed on
the heels of the announcement.
Since the new Maxwell prices be-
came effective, the great increase OF
business has been felt in every de-
partment of the organization. This
increase has been reflected in the In
creased demand upon Maxwell dealers
all ocer the country.
"The 1916 season was a most pros
porous one" said Mr.. Opdyke, local
dealer for the Maxwell company, "but
il early indications count for any
thing. the 1917 season will surpass
anything in the history OF the auto
mobile industry. There is no ques-
ton but that the company's policy IN
standardizing their car and selling It

injured. All the bullets struck in the
legs.
The trouble began when Herbert G.
Henne, lawyer of New Braunfels,
Texas, went to the militia camp. He
passed group of negro soldiers in
the street that extends from the army
post to the camp. An instant after
one of them threw a rock which
struck the rear of his car, Henne d.
rected his driver to stop, and he
alighted. Turning toward the ad-
vancing group of guardsmen, he was
met with derisive laughter and he in
stantly changed his direction toward
the nearest open door, that of sa-
loon. AS he ran, Henne claimed he
heard one of the men call out "come
on, he's unarmed, let's get him.
Inside the saloon he shouted to the
bartender and his helper, the only
other occupant of the place, for as
sistance, but they remained behind
the bar, leaving Henne to, face the
negroes, by that time, crowding
through the doorway.
According to his story, he kicked
the first man out of his way and
cleared wider path by knocking
down the other. He said later that
his assailant had been drinking. This
was later substantiated by federal in
vestigation.
