SPOKANE GREETED BY LARGE CROWD
 WAITING ON DOCK

With one of the largest crowds as- sembled on a dock in Juneau for sey- eral months, to meet her, and with the front of the dock looking like a railroad station with the 21 automo- piles parked there, the steamer Spo- kane arrived from the south last night at seven o'clock with tho large crowd of Shriners on board from the Afifi Temple at Tacoma.
 The Spokane also had many pas sengers on board for northern points. She will sail south from here late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning, taking the Shriners south.

GOT 26 DUCKS WITH
 SEVENTEEN SHELLS

DAWSON. Y. T., May 11-Special Correspondence.-Ed Doran, of So Dawson, made, according to num- Der of shots fired, a record killing of ducks on the Klondyke flats, near Jackson gulch, this morning. He left last night with only seven- teen shells, thinking from his past weeks experience, that number would be ample for his require mcnts At 1:30 q. m., the ducks began to arrive, and in the dusk doran fired five shots at indistinct forms without bringing any down. Then, with seven shells, he landed as many birds singly. By this time the ducks were coming in showers, and, it being impossible to select single birds, he began ground-sluicing them. and with his last five shots laid out nineteen cold, and wounded seven or eight more that got away in the brush and darkness
 Doran says it was the greatest flight he ever saw, and if he had had enough shells he would have beaten Jack Lees record of fifty two ducks in less than one hour which Jack repeated three times about ten years ago, up the Klon- dike.

SMITH TELLS HOW
TO OBTAIN EASY
MOTOR CAR START
No Other Problem Of Auto
Transportation Has So Many
Difficulties. Says Delco-
Exide Expert.

Probably no other problem Of op-
GRAFTON is so universal in its applica-
ton, affecting alike the lordly IL and
the humble flivver, as that OF securing
ease OF starting" says R. c. Smith
Of the Delco Exide service station.
There is basic reason for this con-
dition and it is found in the grade of
gasoline that is now produced. The
fact that our oil refiners now include
in gasoline heavier components
than in the old days, renders the
motor fuel hard to vaporize and need
ing heat for efficient action. This is
why cold weather makes it hard to
start the cold motor. There is not a
section of the country, even our sun
ny southland, where the colder
months do not bring difficulties in
starting.
"Unquestionably the best way Of
securing easy starting is by printing
with some fuel lighter, more volatile
and more easily fired than the ordi-
nary gasoline that serves very we'll
after the engine has been warmed up.
"A number of different fluids are
used for printing. What is known as
70 degree gasoline is entirely satis-
factory. This is simply a gasoline of
the sort that we used to get years
ago, before demand caught up with
supply and PASSED at. forcing the oil
refiners to lower the grade of the fuel.
This high test gasoline may. be pro-
cured from any of the big oil COM
panies or from drug shops Of the bet
ter sort. Within the past year or
two some of the oil companies have
been producing what is known as
petroleum ether. This is simply a
lighter product from the crude base,
differing little from high test gaso-
line. 1t makes an admirable priming
compound and with tank of this on
hand an easy start may be secured
even in the coldest weather, 20 or so
degrees below zero.
"Of course there is always the time
honored expedient of prining the CYL
inders with ordinary gasoline or with
one of the more satisfactory printing
fluids mentioned above, BY way Of
the pet-cocks. When the engine is
primed with ordinary gasoline the as
sumption is that tIenough OF the lighter
fuel will find its way to the connbus-
ton chamber to cause an explosion. In
other words, the ordinary fuel CON
tains some light or easily volatile part,
but the latter is in such small quantity |
that a large amount Of the whole is
necessary to get enough Of the light |
stuff.
Finally, it may not be amiss TO say
that even after the start is made it |
is wise in cold weather to give the
engine all the heat possible. Hot air
should be supplied to the carbureter,
and this instrument should be heated.
if possible. The hood and radiator
should be covered when the car is
standing. Give the engine the best
possible treatment during cold wea-
ther, for this is the time that is least
favorable to its satisfactory opera
ton"

We are not speaking Of futures
when discussing motor transportation
for the farm---it has already arrived
Forty per cent of the motor cars in
America are owned and operated by
the farmer. There are three times as
many automobiles in Iowa and Ne
braska, both big agricultural COM
munities. in proportion to the popu-
lation, as there are in the states OF
New York, Massachusetts or Penn
sylvania.
Manufacturers' reports show that
the big increase in sales of passenger
cars and trucks in recent years has
come from agricultural rather than
from manufacturing states.
And with> this increased usage
comes the education OF the farmer as
to the real possibilities and value Of
motor transportation. Shortly, for
the modern farmer, the problem will
narrow itself only to the choice of
car or truck; the utility and value OF
motorizing the farm industry will be
definitely and firmly established.
The characteristic far-sightedness
of the American farmer will bring
this about when he realizes that one
two-ton truck on his farm will release
at least four horses; that one horse
requires FIVE acres OF tillable land to
support il. land which should be rais-
ing the valuable foodstuffs required
for human consumption. y
