easy comfort and speed. Work on
these new roads will be started as
soon as the frost is out of the ground.
That sufficient money to complete the
said roads is assured is evidenced by
the acts of the state and county au-
thorities; the legislature of the state
of Nevada has passed a bill which
gives the road from Jarbidge to Elko
assistance from both state and gov
eminent funds, besides there will also
be some forestry funds available for
this road Twin Falls county and the
Bull highway commission have pass
ed a bill authorizing a bond issue. The
Bull and Twin Falls interests will
build that part of the road within the
state of Idaho as the accompanying
clipping from the Bull Herald sets
forth There are about eight miles
of new road in the State of Nevada
which follows the river down from
Jarbidge to the state line, this is a
water grade and the town will have
help on this part from Elko county

in the county seat.
The new road to Bull goes down the
river on a water grade and then af-
ter leaving the canyon strikes off
across the prairie right away from the
foothills, thus avoiding the deep snow
that has been so much cause of trouble
on the present road from Jarbidge to
Rogerson. The Bull road will also
be shorter and will connect with the
main Twin Falls line of the Oregon
Short Line railroad, with a service of
two trains a day. From Jarbidge to
Bull over the new road will be about
go miles, and this road will have no
bad grades, and when completed will
furnish a good auto road at all times
of the year, except possibly for day

a Typical Chalmers Performance

At II noon, Monday, March %,
a stock Chalmers seven-passenge
touring car with first and second
gears removed, was started north
on Michigan Boulevard through
Chicago traffic.
At noon Tuesday, March II,
the Chalmers was stopped at the
starting point. 1t had gone 1903
miles through Chicago's densest
traffic The motor had never been
stopped Nothing but high gear
was used.
To prove conclusively Chalmers
flexibility on high gear, the low
and intermediate gears were re-
moved from the transmission.
The car was a standard Chalmers
seven passenger touring model,
complete with standard body, top
and full equipment. The same
model you can buy today.

An average Of slightly over IA
miles per gallon Of gasoline was
attained, an excellent example OF
Chalmers economy.
586.9 miles, through the famous
congested Chicago loop district,
is a wonderful feat. This perfor-
nance on high gear is even more
wonderful. 1t is without an equal.
1t is an endorsement Of the
motor. It proves Chalmers rei-
ability. 1t demonstrates Chalmers
cooling 1t shows Chalmers f1ex-
ibility and perfect control. 1t is a
new achievement.

CHAUTAUQUA CONTEST
ON IN FULL BLAST
SIDES HAVE BEEN APPOINTED
WITH EACH PUTTING FORTH

Owing to conflict in dates the
Mary Brantley Chapter of the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy will combine
their attraction of the Glayds Beulah
Powers Co., which is to appear here
one evening at an early day, with the
Radcliffe Chautauqua. and it is pro-
posed to make it very entertaining
feature of the program.
They have decided to inaugurate
a contest, the opposing sides being
known as "The Reds" and "The
Blues" and have selected Miss Susie
Mae Dozier as captain of the blues
and Miss Matte Pace as captain of
the reds. 1t goes without saying
that with these popular ladies lead
ing the respective sides many tickets
will be sold. They will have quar-
ters at Smiths Pharmacy, and you
may as well walk up and buy your
ticket at once, as you can't afford to
miss this attraction, which is designed
to give instruction and entertainment
as we'll as contribute to one of the
most deserving organizations of the
city.
A transportation committee has
been organized, and automobiles will
be furnished the various helpers so as
to exert every means toward making
the campaign a success.
Mrs. w. A. Davidson, chairman of
the finance committee, requests that
she be called on for any information
or assistance she might be able to
give.
This plan of selling tickets was
used to good effect last year in the
Chautauqua campaign, and was sue
cessful in both financial and fun
making way, as the loosers had to
saw green log on the stage.
The Woman's Club will be asked
for a committee to visit nearby
towns and sell tickets and distribute
advertising matter.
