Rig POWERPLUS MODEL HAS
SEVERAL REFINEMENTS

The 1917 model of the Indian Pow
erplus Motorcycle has arrived and is
now on display at the Indian Motor
cycle and Bicycle Co., this city.
The attention of local devotees of
the popular two-wheel pastime has
been attracted to the several new fea-
lures which appear, a good crowd hav-
ing been present at the store continu-
ously since the big Indian was re-
moved from his crate
| The 1917 Powerplus model of the
Indian comes out this year with five
big refinements which have already
won the approval OF those who have
admired its classy lines or witnessed
its remarkable demonstrations of pow
er and speed.
Chief OF these improvements is the
new Triple Stem Fork which more
than doubles the strength and affords
secure double anchorage for the ad-
Unstable handle bar. The frame is al
so greatly strengthened by the new
drop forged webbed head construc-
tion and tubing reinforcement
The enlarged gasoline tank with a
capacity of nearly four gallons is an
other distinctive Improvement, and
one which adds materially to the ap-
pearance of the new Indian.
A great improvement in the gear
shifting arrangements In which the
shifting lever operates directly, pivot
ing from the seat post cluster. This
eliminates considerable lost motion
common to other gearshifting devices
and makes the action easy, quick, and
positive.
| The change in the 1917 Indian which
will doubtless attract the most atten-
ton is the departure in finish. This
a choice of two colors will be refer
cd. The conventional Indian red is Of
fered this year with the additional of a
neat black panel striped with gold
which adorns all fiat exposed sur
faces 1t Is notable Improvement In
the appearance of the Indian, lending
a dignity and grace to the lines of the
whole machine which the plain red
could not impart The second choice
Is the olive drab finish, likewise
striped in black and gold, for which
many riders have expressed a pref
erence.
The Powerplus Motor which was
such an astounding success in the
1916 season comes out in the 1917
model with only minor changes. It is
once again the same powerful. silent,
smooth-running, master-motor which
proved itself SO thoroughly last year.
II develops from 16 to IS horsepower
and Is capable of speeds carrying from
3 to 20 miles per hour. Economy of
operation is the added charm that
Powerplus can truthfully claim,
With its new features, its Powerplus
motor, and new dress-up. the 1917 In
dian will prove one of the most pop
ular models of the new season.

J. J. CLANCEY FAVORS
CREATION OF DE BACA COUNTY

The Record is in receipt of a com
rnunication from Hon. ]. J. Clancy
of Santa Rosa, who was member
of the House during the first two
sessions of the state legislature and
who at that time did not favor a
new county in the vicinity of Ft
Sumner because he did not believe
there was sufficient taxable proper
ty then to support it.
Recently the Record contained an
article which implied that Mr.
Clancy was still of the same OPT
Mon. In this we were mistaken as
he informs us he is now heartily in
favor of its creation. The improve
rnents in that section of the state
now warrant its creation and we
are very g,ad to know that Mr..
C'ancey and mlny utrer Santa Rosa
PEOPLE are wiring to see the pro-
position go through as it is very
liberal and commendable position
for them to take.
1t is to be hoped the proposed
lines can be agreed upon in such
a way as to also ..,n tie consent
ct Roosevelt county ard thereby the
elimination of the hopes OF the
people of Ft. Sumner and vicinity
which is in need of the convenience
and change.
