.STUOEBABER TRUCK
 MAKES HARD TRIP

Travelling over ninety miles of what is some of the worst going in Amer ica, one-ton Studebaker truck last week completed a round trip from Fl Centro to La Palmita, in Mexico.
 Visiting three car agents in Fl Centro, business man made the pro position that he would purchase the machine that successfully completed the trip to La Palmita and return.As evidence of his good faith he signed orders and deposited the cash in es- COW contingent on the demonstration.
 he cars started early one morning, but had not travelled far when they saw they were up against a real task. The faintly marked trail across the desert led over sand dunes where the wheels sunk almost hub deep, through swamps and up steep grades. The sur face of sand and boulders was most severe on tires. One of the drivers, who had driven all over the country, said he never lad travelled a road that could cc-.,1arc with it for rough ness.

CADILLAC DEFEATS
 SHASTA LIMITED IN
 SWIFT RUN ON COAST

Cliff Durant, well known Pacific coast racing driver, in a record-break- ing run in a Cadillac e;gnt roadster, beat the Shasta Limited by six hours and set a new record of ten hours and seventeen minutes from Shasta Springs to San Francisco.
 Durant was accompanied on the run by Carl Sword and H. D. Mckenzie of Oakland.
 The party stopped fifty-five min utes at Bedding, thirty minutes at Red Bluff, twenty minutes at Davis, and the run from Davis to Benecia, dis tance of fifty-four miles, was accom- plished in one hour and six minutes. The Cadillac in which the run was made was a stock car in every respect, according to Durant.
 A Cadillac holds the record between San Francisco and Los Angeles, which was made in May, 1916, in nine hours and thirty-eight minutes.

FACTORY ECONOMIES
 FAIL ID R.iLI RISE
 IN PRICES IF TIRES

An increase in the pie Of motor tires has been announced by practic- ally all the large producers in the country, reports G. R. Franklin, local agent for the Studebaker. This in- crease will average from 10 to 15 per cent. It is larger for solid than pneu- matic tires. The new prices have not been made to apply to tubes by some manufacturers. The last general in crease was in April of this year.Start- ing to ascend the scale last December the prices have risen until today they are practically 50 per cent higher than at that time.
 The high cost of fabrics and other materials that enter into the making of tires and the general increase in the cost of manufacture are assigned as the reasons for the new raise.

1ne HlOSL dIIldZlng piece of news that has broken since the European war be- gan is that put on by the Associated Press Thursday, which contained the infor- nation that the German Kaiser was seeking to form an alliance with Mexico. and Japan to make war upon the United States. By the terms of the Kaiser's proposition i Mexico was to receive as her part of the loot following a successful war against the United States Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Japan would be given California and Germany would collect her part in gold. Fine busi- ness, is it not? The Kaiser and. his advisers are certain ly suffering from softening of the brain to consider seriously such a preposterous
 thing. President Wilson has
 been given a free hand by
 congress to handle the situa-
 tion as seems best.

LAND OFFICE RUSH


The first days rush at the land of
tice on January resulted in ia
homestead filings and u contests.
The jam lasted several days and even
at this time nearly two weeks after
the signing of the new 64O acre
homestead act there is still u very
lively scramble each day among
those desiring to file and those hunt
ing for vacant lands. While there is
no such crush as on the opening day
there Is enough yet gathered around
the land office and the various land
attorneys Offices to make a very no
ticeable addition to the regular crowd
on the streets. When it is realized
how very near we are to reaching the
end of the vacant land in this section
and the fact that there are u good
many thousands of the remaining
acres that have been frequently pass
ed up because they are SO rocky or
sandy that they are considered unfit
for any purpose, the present rush
came as a complete surprise to even
lasting makes it evident that if the
law is finally held to apply to these
lands there will soon be an end Of
land filings in this district. The first
weeks receipts were almost enough
to pay the expense OF maintaining the
Office here for the full year.
Lamar stood second among the
Colorado land offices in business for
the first week although it had one Of
the smallest lists of vacant lands for
settlers to select from. Pueblo with
nearly five million vacant acres was
first, but in proportion TO vacant land
Lamar had about five filings to one.
Many of these filings are by new
settlers coming in to take advantage
of this new law, elthough the major
ity so far have been the older set
tiers filing additional entries. If the
law should at last be decided not TO
apply to the lands in this section, it
will require a large amount of un-
winding Of red tape to get the filings
all cancelled and the fees returned to
the proper parties.

The question was submitted whe-
ther a person might obtain loan
if not actually living upon the land
upon which the loan was placed.
Here is the answer:
division of Section IL may not
be interpreted so narrowly as you
imply in your order. A farmer who
superintends the operations on his
farm, may be eligible for a loan es-
pecially if he becomes a member of
local association. While actual resi-
dence may be preferable, it may not
be absolutely necessary in order to
enable one to borrow through a ma
tional farm loan association"
Division l Of Section IA of the Act
had led to TIE belief that farm loan
banks might be treated as banks of
deposit On this point the secretary
says:
"The federal land bank is not ex-
pected to do a general banking bus
mess. Its stockholders are primarily
national farm loan associations. The
national farm loan associations are
authorized under Section IL to issue
certificates against deposits of cur
rent funds, which deposits are to be
Immediately transmitted to the Fed
eral Land Bank and invested by it
in the purchase Of farm loan bonds
or first mortgages. There would seem
to be a slight conflict between these
two provisions of Section II and IA,
but it may be stated as general
principle that no Federal Land Bank
can do a regular deposit and checking
business" ."-Chas F. Davis, Colorado
Agricultural College, Fort Collins,
Colorado.

Hunting for the Leak

The congressional committee that is
looking for the leak Of advance in
formation as to the presidents pur-
pose 70 send the fourteen peace notes,
which enabled Wall street SPECTATORS
to make fortunes by taking the bear
side Of the market, seems to be chief
ly occupied in insulting the member
who asked for its appointment. He
is reproached for dragging in the
names of prominent men about whom
he had heard rumors. He has con-
fessed that he has no personal knowl-
edge involving any Of them. In answer
to their criticism, he points out the
fact that he favored executive ses-
sions but was outvoted. No doubt the
publicity has done grave injustice to
several individuals. but so has every
other congressional Fishing expedi-
ton" The lobby inquiry was a not
able example II is a possibility that
inheres in such inquiries.
As for the leak itself, il is ac-
counted for. If we may believe that
Secretary Lansing was so indiscreet
as to make the proposed sending Of
the peace notes the topic Of one Of
his confidential chats with the cor
respondents. While correspondents do
not publish matters given them in
confidence, one might have dropped a
hint in an unguarded personal con
versation. Some people believed in
the rumor enough to risk fortunes
on it. One of these, who gave $685.
900 to the Wilson campaign fund, is
said TO have made 81 100000 by sell
ing short. He is to appear before the
committee and will doubtless be able
to show that he got his tip in a way
that involved no officials. Incidentally,
he might be asked why he sold short
on mere rumor Of peace, il he be
lieved. with the president, that our
prosperity will be unaffected by the
end Of the war. He ought to be read
out Of the democratic party, any way,
for his dealings on Wall street. We
were assured during the campaign
that Mr. Hughes was Wall streets
candidate.-Ex.

SOME POINTERS ABOUT THE
NEW FARM LOAN ACT
Secretary of the Farm Loan Board
Answers Some Puzzling Ques-
tions Which Have Arisen

Several questions have arisen as
to the Interpretation to be given to
certain parts of the loan act, the fol-
lowing answers to questions. submit
ted to the secretary of the Farm Loan
Board will be of interest:
One Of the explanatory leaflets is
sued by the board uses an expression
which led some to think that loan
associations must be kept within one
county. As to this the secretary says:
"a farm loan association may ex-
tend its territory into two counties,
and in some instances this may be
advisable or necessary. County lines
are no barrier against an association
being formed in that vicinity, the OBJ
ject being to get members irrespective
of whether they live in one or an
other county. AS a matter of fact
each association decides its own ter
ritory within which it will do busi-
ness"

A Charitable Fund Idle

Emigrants on their way TO the
West, such as there are, do not seem
to be in need Of philanthropic aid as
they might have been half a century
ago, and so the bright and attractive
bureau Of the Mullanphy Fund in its
home in the upper waiting room Of
Union Station mas scarcely anything
to do.
owing TO our modern immigration
laws, enforced at Ellis island, indi-
gent emigrants no longer enter our
great gate to the east Everyone is
required TO have enough money TO
prevent him or his family from be-
coming charge upon charity. So,
although the tide Of immigrs ton is
greater than it was when the Mullan-
ply foundation was established, there
is little call for the good offices of its
administrators.
Emigration Is not the painful and
hazardous adventure it once was. No
wagon caravans set out westward to-
ward the coast to fight Indians and
fever for months before reaching the
golden foothills of California or the
wheatfields and apple orchards where
"rolIs the Oregon" Even the long
railroad trains of Mormon proselytes
bound from Europe to thrifty Deseret
are now but a memory.
Hosts Of newcomers from lands be-
yond the sea still pour through St
Louis, but they have their tickets
bought for their destination, money in
their wallets and as likely as not,
bread and cheese securely wrapped up
in a neat bundle for appeasirg their
appetites if they DO not care to pat
ronize the public eating places.
So what is to be done for succoring
the suffering if there are no suffer
ers? Nobody knows, but the courts
are to be asked If some relief can't
be granted the eleemosynary minded
in charge Of the Mullanphy Fund with
no object on which TO expend their
