stunt Saturday morning that entities

of the Doctors family, consisting OF
Mrs. Lewis, two children and the maid,
had arranged to leave for Springdale
on the regular Spokane passenger train

breakfast the doctor stepped out OF
doors and was surprised to see the
train going through the tunnel, east OF
town. He loaded the family into the
touring car, with all the baggage, and
struck out, intending to catch the train
at Mount Hull station. On reaching the
East Oroville Orchard Tracts he dis
covered that the gasoline had about
given out. Nothing daunted, the doctor
turned around and managed to make
his garage. He strapped the trunks on
the back of his Studebaker roadster
stored all the family in the front seat
and lit out up the hill to catch the
train. He reached Circle 20 minutes
ahead of the train. For speed, that rur
almost puts the flying machine In the
