UP-TO-DATE AUTO
MOBILE BROUGHT
TO BLACKFOOT
RALPH DIXEY PRESENTS HIS
WIFE WITH WONDERFUL CAR
OF THE ROADSTER TYPE.

Ralph Dixey, the prominent Indian
cattle man. who lives just south Of
town and who has made a practice
of riding In the best automobiles he
could get, has just surprised the
community by buying very fine
racer for his wife. Mr.. Dixey has
always driven a car that would carry
his whole family, but in all his run
ming around looking after business
he uses the automobile rather than
a saddle horse wherever it Is pos
sible. Mrs. Dixey frequently wants
to go some where when her husband
Is away with the car, and not being
very fond of going afoOt or on horse
back, she waits until the car returns.
She is good driver and it will be
remembered that she led the pro-
cession during the parade of carni-
val week in October.
Mr.. Dixey came to the conclusion
that his wife should have a car of
her own so she could go and come
whenever she wanted to. When
manager R. G.. Bills, of the Bills
Auto Co., proposed to him few days
ago that they 60 to Salt Lake and
select the finest car in the market
for her, Mr.. ,Dixey responded and to
Salt Lake they went.
They had a very enjoyable time
visiting all the auto stocks in the
city, and Mr.. Dixey finally chose a
Stultz Bear Cat of the roadster type.
It is built low with a very powerful
engine of four cylinders and sixteen
valves and it is veritable yellow
bird, possessing all the mirrors and
cloud splitting devices known to mo-
tordom.
The new car rides SO easy and is
geared so high that when the driver
thinks he is going twenty-five miles
per hour the indicator points to about
fifty per hour. The landscape
streams past the car at such rapid
gait that the person accustomed to
the average car does not realize the
speed until he watches the indicator.
The car sells for $4,000 in Salt
Lake City and Mr.. Dixey gave the
firm his check and drove the car
home and presented it to Mrs. Dixey.
Mr.. Bills drove another car thru at
the same time and had to 60 some
to keep up with Mr.. Dixey and his
new yellow bird.
