OVER MOUNTAIN ROADS
IN HAYNES LIGHT SIX

Three men, block and tackle. and
a Haynes Light Six that recently
bucked into the skyline OF the south
western Rockies are the principals in
an unusual story Of motor adventure
that has just come to the attention or
automobile dealers
The story had its beginning in Los
Angeles when a trio consisting OF John
Cook, owner Of the light six, and two
companions, pointed their Haynes to
the northeast TO determine how far they
could travel over roads that were de-
clared to be impossible when the rains
were on. Their chief destination was
mining camp near Gpldheld. Nev
From here the car was to go TO Salt
Lake City It was planned, across the
Lincoln Highway TO Reno and San
Francisco and back to Los Angeles
These details were set forth I'm a letter
from Cook.

sition before them" wrote Cook up

SPOKANE WILL CELE-
BRATE THE FOURTH,

For the first time in many years
Spokane is planning to celebrate the
4th of July. 1t has been an un-
written lay that the celebration of
the nations holiday should be left to
the smaller communities and as a
rule Spokane has been deserted on
the Fourth.
The announcement of the celebra-
ton this year is coupled with the
statement that an effort will be
made to run no rival attraction ag-
ainst towns which have planned
their own observances. But an in
vitation is sent to those commune
ties which have not arranged for a
patriotic demonstration.
Mayor Fleming in sending out his
invitation has emphasized the point
that Spokane opens her doors to
those who wish to come here, but
does not urge an attendance from
communities which have their own
plans for the 4th.
The celebration will begin at P.
NJ. July 3rd, starting with a street
festival and carnival burlesque pa
rade, followed by illumination of
the falls, public dancing on the
streets and midnight matinees at
theatres. The Fourth will be usher
ed in with competitive rifle shoot
starting at 7 o'clock A. M. followed
by military contests, athletic sports
and big patriotic and civic page
ant. The afternoon will be given
over to sports including automobile
races at the Interstate Fair grounds.
