Cole Chairman Of
Auto Engineers

In view of the recent election OF J.
J. Cole, president OF the Cole Car
company, Of Indianapolis as chairman
Of the Indiana section Of the So
ciety Of Automobile Engineers, unusu-
al attention is being directed toward
that branch of the organization.
The Indiana section of the asso-
citation has always been regarded as
one OF the most active and enterpris-
ing departments Of the parent or
ganiaztion and with Mr.. Cole at its
head it is expected that many more
important developments along en-
cheering lines will be turned in from
the Indiana field during the coming
year.
Although Mr.. Cole has always been
deeply interested in the work OF the
association, il was not until few
months ago that he could find time
to actively participate in the affairs Of
the local organization. However, it is
asserted that he has sponsored many
OF the most important steps taken in
the motor car industry since he began
the manufacture OF automobiles and,
with, perhaps one exception, he is
generally regarded as the most wide
ly known automobile authority in the
state. That he will accomplish splen-
did results in the work was a GER
tainty from the beginning, in the

The men who volunteer for motor
transport service do not enlist in the
army. They become civilian en-
ployes of the government by signing
contracts for a years service. When
honorably discharged, even though
the year may not have expired, they
are furnished return transportation to
Detroit. The salary is 500 per
month.
The publication of the call for
truckmen met with rousing re-
spouse. Scores of men from almost
every walk of life rushed officials
at the Packard factory and begged
to be taken. One of the recruits who
passed the driving test demanded by
the government with flying colors
was L. Canada, whose father, w. W..
Canada, has been United States con-
sui to Vera Cruz, Mexico, for nine
teen years. Young Canada, who had
lived in the Mexican city for fifteen
years, had been bitterly disappointed
few days previously when, because
of a minor ailment, he failed to pass
the medical examination after enlist

Detroit is being hard hit by the
governments call TO arms to handle
the Mexican situation. With more
than 1000 Of its young men in the
mobilization camp Of the State Ma
fional Guard, the city has been called
on to recruit another $50 men for
service with the motor transport d.
vision OF the army along the southern
boundary.
With long distance telephone or.
der for 396 motor trucks received by
the Packard Motor company, came
the request for the additional recruits
We need experienced motor vehicle
mechanics, said the voice of the
quartermaster general over the wire,
Send along truckmasters, assistant
truckmasters, drivers, mechanics and
cooks" -
The Packard company had already
furnished l22 men for government
service with the army. Packard en-
ployes manned the l2l trucks shipped
to the border since March q, which
are now carrying supplies to General
Pershings men. The company also
lost 1902 employees when the call came
for National Guard mobilization, and
another contingent will soon board
ship on the call for the state naval
militia.
Trucks and men will be sent to
the south on special trains provided
by the government.
The point on the border for which
they were intended was not divulged
by the army officers who came to
the Packard plant to recruit men.

REPORTS FROM THE TOLSTOI CONTINUE TO ARRIVE
 AND VARY IN CHARACTER

During the past week there have been several arrivals in the city and district from the Tolstoi district, and the reports they bring as to developments there vary from the optimistic to the pesslmlstlc All the returned prospectors seem to be agreed however, that while pay dirt has not been found in sufficient quantities to warrant belief that a permanent camp will be estab- lshed, yet there are good indications that paystreak may be developed. Some are even enthusiastic enough to predict that camp of considerable size will be established there, but as a rule these predictions seem to be founded on hope rather than fact. It is noticeable that there is no inclination to invest money there as yet, and the tide of travel seems to have set in from the dig gings instead of toward them. Ii is said that many of those now there are preparing to leave.
 From the various reports brought in, the opinion is formed that practically the only pay" ground so far developed is that on Boob creek, covering, as far as present news goes but three claims. It is still claimed by some. however, that there Is pay on other creeks, but prospects that here tofore have been reported as having pay have been been found to show nothing that would justify their being worked.
 Because of the fact that the pay on Boob creek seems to be confined to a small area, and that neither above nor below that point has anything of value been found, the be- lief is general that an ancient river bed runs at right angles with that creek, and l. the benches, without, however, finding any thing in the nature of pay, though it IS said that large gravel deposits have been en countered
 Among those who returned from the dis trict during the week were Clarence White, Big Lars" Otness, Louis Muir and Billy Kay.

Haley X Griftis got their freight as far as the mouth of Madison Jack Mutchler had just arrived with horses from Woodchopper, and stampeders were arriving from all directions, The letter was of an optimistic nature, and stated that the indications were that Cooper would become a good camp.
