The Riker Truck is do
signed by A. L. Riker,
Vice-President and Chief
Engineer of the Locomo-
bile Company of. America,
makers of the Riker Truck.
Note the details of de-
sign:-
The engine has a longer
stroke than any other
three-ton truck built 1t
has a small bore. This
means higher efficiency
less consumption of fuel
and oil.
Cylinders are cast in
pairs-no intricate cast
ings. Greater bearing area.
Less wear and tear.
Five main shaft bear
1ngs instead of the ordinary
three which means less
strain on each bearing and
a longer life.
The drive is of the worm
type, the most advanced
type of drive today.
The frame is special
pressed steel design. The
material chrome nickel
steel, heat treated, with a
tensile strength approx
mately 100000 pounds. It
costs four times as much
as the structural steel ordi-
narily, but it is four times
as strong and it reduces
repair bills.
The engine bed is Gov

bronze instead of ordinary
aluminium.
The springs are silico
manganese steel.
The transmission gears,
the propeller shaft, the driv-
ing axle are all chrome
nickel steel.

Motor truck designing is
simply everyday common
sense applied with special
knowledge to special
problems.
The engineer uses ex-
actly the same methods in
solving his problems that
the common man does in
attacking the common
problems of life.
The thing that makes a
man a great engineer is his
ability to apply common
sense to the logic OF
events.

Championship Numbers.

Preceding the high jump will be the
usual championship numbers, contests
between horses that have won blue rib
bons since the meet started. These
should be the most interesting classes
of the show.
The Grafton high jump. in which
Capt. Gibbs horse negotiated the re-
markable distance of 2S feet with ap
parently little effort: the drill of Wash
ingtons mounted police force and the
army endurance test were the out
standing features of yesterdays show.
Five starters faced the barrier in the
army test, the riders carrying full field
equipment. The course led from the
exhibition grounds around Potomac
Park and return, distance of about
seven miles, concluding with a jumping
test. Lieut. r. W. Strong of Troop B.
I'd Cavalry. was the winner.
This event impressively demonstrated
the Importance of something being
done to improve the army remount sit

NUMBER "a
HERD Law DEFEATED
Denver Posts Pet Measure Turned
Down Cold.

From all cities and towns SO far
heard from the majority against the
law is better than two to one. Up
to the present time there has been
no report of any county where the
law has carried. This is the most
complete and emphatic defeat ever
accorded any measure presented
to the voters of this state.
While The Denver Post is taking
great deal OF the credit upon it.
self for the general election result,
it has nothing whatever to say
about tn herd law. AS matter of
fact, the general result of the cleo
ton has been in spite of the Post,
for. as far as the farmers and stock
men of the state are concerned, The
Post carries very little weight.
The result of this vote indicates
very clearly that the farmers Of Col
sorado are satisfied with the present
ssiaN, M effectr forsss ulnny3
years and under which they have
prospered greatly The discussion
OF this bill, hWever, has brought
to light few eases where farm
ers have suffered, and here is dis
position on the part of the organ
lzed stockmen to favor some amend
ment to the present law that will re-
move any possible opportunity for
complaint on the part of any new
farmers. The bill suggested by the
State Grange to regulate the run
ming OF live stock on the public
lands and highways, or where
stock becomes a public nuisance,
Will be considered by special COM
mittee appointed by President
Squier and Secretary M. j. McMillin
OF the Stockgrowers association. A
meeting will be shortly with
the legislative committee of the
State Grange and an effort made
to aggree upon measure that
will be satisfactory to everyone.
Late reports from outside coun-
ties on the herd law are as follows:
Montrose defeated the law five to
one; Mesa county, majority against
the law over 1000; Dolores cunty
defeated it by two to one vote;
Chaffee county defeated by six to
one vote; Rio Blanco county, ma
jOrity of 500 or more against the
bill; Prowers and Baca counties
defeated by two to one vote; and
Bent county defeated it by a four
to one vote.
