the squad found the menu so much TO

FAR WEST NOW READY
FOR INVASION BY AUTOS
Statesmen Find Good Field in Mining
Camps

Heretofore motor car men have spoken
of the farm lands Of the Middle West
as the finest fields for automobile sales
mon. Now comes the Far West "a a
territory scarcely touched. That Ne
vada and these other states were ready
for the motor car was discovered dur
ing the summer by the Saxon relay
racers, who drove thirty-eight cars in
successive laps from New York to San
Francisco in six days eighteen hours
and ten minutes.
In the mining camp OF Ely, populs-
ton about $500. including the mill
hands, Saxon dealer sold eight cars
in three days, on the strength Of the
relay cars work in getting from Salt
Lake to Ely in less than twelve hours.
Travel out there is shortened by days
with the automobile, and the Westerner
is eager for a car which will give him
service, not heating or requiring much
gasoline. Saxon met these require
ments, and in consequence the Nevada
sales have been unusually large.

Music is much in evidence on the Ca

Thursday evening before capacity
audiences. An act somewhat above
the usual vaudeville Offering is that of
the Adanano trio, two men and a wo-
man, who sing tremendously, using as
their offering songs of a different va

day. They have a pretty arrangement

A takeoff on the usual vaudeville act is
offered by Bob White and grille, who
endeavor to show how the ordinary
singing and dancing act performs.
They also offer some good acrobatic
