REMARKABLE FEAT
OF THE DORT CAR

San Francisco's automobile row"
is talking about the bort car that has
jumped into fame almost over night.
The bort car was introduced to nor
thern California by the Leach Frawley
Motor Company in February and the
sales of this sturdy car during that
time have been phenomenal. "It's the
wonderful value of the money" COM
ments j. d. Leigh, dealer, when re-
ceiving congratulations
In March $50 Dorts were sold and
for April $50 cars already have beer
sold for delivery before May 18th.
So great has been the demand for this
moderate priced car that only "dem-
onstrators have been left in the dis
play room and every car has been sold
before it arrived in San Francisco.
The last shipment to be received by
Leach Frawley consisted of the classy
bort Fleur-de-lys roadsters which
have sold themselves on looks, alone,
for the buyer who knows that except
for the body, they are the same as
the fve-passenger touring car.
When Frawley brought the bort to
the coast, heNknew that the greatest
handicap would be the lack of testi-
mony from California users of the
car. He was satisfied to wait and
now he is receiving floods of letters
from buyers who substantiate every
claim made by the company and are
adding many novel testimonies to the
increasing evidence of bort service
One of the most enthusiastic is f,
M. Walsh, who has been making str
enuous trips up and down California
After returning from 1900 mile
trip made in ten days, Mr.. Walsh said
of the Dort
81 have riden in practically every
car made, have had long residence
in Detroit, in the home of the auto
and know something about the quail
ties of cars, but | believe the bort is
king of them all. In ten days have
travelled more than 1900 miles, over
good and bad roads, up hills and thru
fields. We have made as high as Az
miles on the highway and have given
the new car a more severe test thar
any car just out of the factory should
have, but it has responded in wonder,
full manner.
"About thirty miles this side Of
Fresno we found a dirt road with Is
inches of water running over it. One
big car was stuck in the flooded
roadway and others seeing the plight
of the one were afraid to venture in
We backed in, pulled the big car out
and then went through the quagmir,
while the others stood in wonder. "Ad

Even Sheepmen Have Their Troubles


According to the statements of Mr..
T. A. Thorley Of this city, who was
up from Hurricane yesterday, where
he has been in tendance at Goulds
shearing corral for some time, trying
to get his focks shorn before taking
them to the summer ranges, even
the flock masters, who are the envey
of all the rest of us, are not without
their troubles. Mr.. Thorley states
that the repeated storms have delayed
shearing until the sheep are in bad
condition through being kept in the
vicinity Of the corrals, and that two
different owners have lost 100 head
each, which is tremendous when we
stop to consider that sheep are worth
from 81 to $40 per head Others are
beginning to lamb, and it is going to
be very hard to move them to the
summer ranges.
Mr.. Thorley is just getting his
sheep sheared now, and anticipates
very heavy losses in his lamb crop,
as well as a considerable sacrifice Of
old sheep. To help things out, he
says that number of the shearers
went Off on a spree and that great
difficulty is being found in keeping a
shearing force together.
