They say there is no thought OF cur
failing the use of passenger cars on

OAKLAND SENSIBLE SIX" is
FIRST TO CROSS MOUNTAINS

! Crossing the Sierra Nevada noun
tains of California with an automobile
in the late spring is nothing less than
an adventure, and he who attempts
the trip, experiences some of the
trials Of the arctic explorer.
Two intrepid residents Of Stockton,
Cal, F. R. Withers and P. w. Wicker
son, are ready to verify such a state
ment, for late last month they ac-
copied the challenge of the snow-cov-
cred peaks and the snow-choked
passes and conquered them after a
grueling battle with deep drifts,
waged in a driving snowstorm.
AS a result of this achievement,
Withers and Vickerson can boast of
the enviable distinction of being the
first motorists to drive to Lake Tahoe
from California this season, and the
Oakland Sensible Six" in which the
arduous trip was made, has gained
new laurels for motor power, stamina
and reliability.
"The drifts that the Oakland
drivers encountered in crossing the
Sierra Nevadas averaged more than
four feet in depth and the snow was
so-soft that it was necessary to show
ell paths and lay canvas and planks to
get traction" said the Auto Sales &
Service Co., local distributors for the
Oakland Sensible Sensible Six"

than 1000 miles of touring already

WHEAT THRESHING WILL BE
SCENTS A BUSHEL THIS YEAR

The price of threshing here this
year will be advanced. While no
price has been established and no as
ISOLATION has been formed, it is be-
lieved that 10 cents will be the pre-
vailing price for wheat and 16 cents
for oats and barley. Peas and beans
take separate rates, depending large
ly on local conditions. MILFORD McIn-
tosh, pioneer thresherman who has
been engaged in the business for
many years, has fixed these prices
for his work. Mr.. Mcintosh will pay
81 per day fer men and teams; $3.50
for bundle pitchers and proportionate
rates for other workmen. These
prices are higher than the schedule
fixed by the county farm bureau, but
he expects to put in more than 10
hours day.

it down. That was a fine sight 20
