On Tuesday Herman Mueller and
William Hurter, agents for the Hud-
son Super-Six and Dodge autos, &C
companied by F. H. Albertson, made
a trip through the snow to Alderman
and return. They used q Dodge car
and had to break their own track most
OF the way, finding large drifts all
along the route, the worst one being
! in the woods near the home of John
Shale. Here the snow had formed in
a huge drift 1--WE feet deep and hun
dred feet in length. Notwithstanding
the great amount of snow, the trip
was made with comparative ease in
about one hour, the return journey
being negotiated in forty minutes.
Mr.. Mueller states that no doubt 9TH
er motorists will be glad to know that
the trail is open between here and
Ableman.

the summer time.
