 This ability of the motor truck to serve efficiently under all conditions. and off the beaten paths. was proved to splendid advantage recently by fargo wisconsin maker of farm tractors This firms experience with a two-ton EeoLblic internal gear drive truck, in solving hnOtty transportation prob- lem that threatened to cause no little inconvenience to the operation of their business, is typical of the sturdiness and resourceful power of the modern truck.

 "The increasing business of this con- cern necessitated large addition 10 their factory. Although a railroad runs in close proximity to the main build- ings of the plant, there was not even spur track laid to the scene of the new construction work Trucks were Used to haul material from the adja : cent city and freight cars to where th1 building operations were under way. But when it came to the installation of huge seven-ton gasoline tank. . looked like a job too strenuous for even the faithful trucks. To move this great mass of metal from it's flat car to the emplacement prepared for it. meant a haul of one mile over fields and rough ground. The length of the tank eliminated any thought of Dading it aboard a truck.
 The driver of a two ton Republic hcr ever. conceived the idea of mount ing the great tank on small solid steel wheels and towing it along back of his truck. Several large steel cables were used to securely fNsten the tank to the rear of the Republic, and, with out much ado, the strangest procession moved on.
 With but one or two stops, to al- tow Workmen to put the tank back Cn an even keel, the Republic plowed its

There seems to be some misunder- standing in conception regarding the night and Sunday closing recommen1l- tions, made by the war service com mittee, particularly as it applies to gasoline and other supplies which might indicate that the curtailment of the general use of automobiles is con- templated, or that a shortage of gaso- line exists. Nothing is farther from the facts, as the object of the sugges- tions when fully in force will tend to foster and encourage the utility use of an automobile to the fullest extent, and will cater to those who use cars for such purposes.
 As night and Sunday usage of an automobile is mainly for pleasure pur- poses, there is naturally feeling that this can be reduced without any great hardship on the part of the owners of the cars. and it is freely stated that practically all other lines of industry are willingly curtailing the unnecessary from their business, and it is therefore only equitable that the automobile in- dustry do likewise.
 The keeping open of service stations, oil and supply depots, requires labor, which is manifestly for the purpose of making it easier to use automobiles for pleasure purposes and as labor is one of the Scarcest commodities at this time every saving in this direction is not only necessary but imperative. There is plenty of gasoline and oil for automobile use, if it is rationally and sensibly used. imperative. There is plenty of gasoline and oil for automo- bils use, if it is rationally and sensibly used, but there will not be enough if the automobile user continues to waste it by using his automobile unneces- sarily.
 Therefore, it hehooves not only the dealers, but the owners as we'll to con- serve in this direction as much as pos Sible, not so much on account of pres ent necessity as against the possibility of the future. Whatever small addi- tional trouble it may be for the owner to obtain supplies on Saturday. it is SC negative that no patriotic owner will object.

NEW BRIDGE NEAR
 COMPLETION NOW
Bridge Ac~oss Fish Creek Expected to Be Finished Tonight, Ready
 For Gaping.

Rails were laid to the north bank of Fish creek and the shift going on duty Saturday night started in driving the piles to support the bridge across this stream. Pile driver No. 4, also known as the track driver, is doing the work, which is expected to be finished to- night. The work of putting on the caps and stringers will be taken in hand at once and the bridge will be completed to allow of the rails being laid.
 During the period consumed in driving the piling, the steel gangs were put on to help the ballasting and surfacing gangs and very large quantity of gravel was laid under the rails and the three miles of new roadway surfaced.
 On an average of about sixty cars of gravel were used daily, Owing to the marshy nature of the ground over which the new D line runs from the switch to the north bank of Fish creek, only about 20 yards of gravel was loaded on each car, or approximately 4O-ton loads. The new D line is scene of great activity now, both the big loco motives are busy hauling gravel trains and returning with empties, a train being on the line nearly all the time The Five Spot" or Locomotive No. 5, also makes oc- casional trips whenever she can man age to get "line clear, hauling material for the piledriver crew working on the Fish creek bridge and taking the men to and from ! their work
 The exact distance from the switch to the north bank of Fish I creek on which rails have been laid is 14,OOO feet.

TEAMS PLAY FAST
 CAME OF BASEBALL
Fans Enjoyed a Very Good Game Although Attendance Was Very
 Poo~ Indeed.

The dyed-in-the-wool baseball fans had served up to them on Sunday at the new baseball grounds the fastest and most exciting game, So far, of the season, when the boys of Company B again crossed bats with the boys of the local team.
 Besides resulting in the close score of 4 to 3 in favor of Company B, the game brought out some new talent that proved a delight to the fans. What added greatly to the days sport was the excellent play ing condition of the ground, which was dry and fast and allowed some real baseball to be played.
 The ball tossers themselves got right down to business and from the first to the last the play was close, several double plays, besides spectacular running catches and pretty stops being in order.
 The game was worth while wit messing and it is greatly to be de- plored that the support was so meager. The poor attendance was perhaps due to the game not being advertised more largely, but it is to be hoped that Nenanaites will , extend their support in large, measure at the next game to bt played, on Sunday July IA.
 The boys are putting in practice every night and those who will be on hand at the grandstand are assured of being witnesses to hotly contested game all the way through
 Several of the star players ar, about to leave for the trainin, camp and next Sunday may b, their last appearance on the loca diamond.

SLOGAN ADOPTED: USE OF II URGED

The phase "Where Rail and River Meet has been formally adopted by the Nenana Commercial club as the official slogan of Nenana and merchants and the public generally are urged to make general use of it as a means of advertising the town. It has been suggested that the business men of the town have the slogan made a part of their business stationery.
 The Nenana club was first to make use of the slogan and the phrase has met with such general approval that the Commercial club, at regular meeting held on Sun day, decided to adopt it as the off cial slogan of that organization and to have it appear on the sta tionery of the club.
 The slogan, as all slogans should, carries with it message wherever it goes. It informs those who read 1t, that Nenana is centrally located in the rich Panama valley, with the government railroad stretching away to the south and the Panama river connecting Nenana by water with all other sections of Interior Alaska, thus giving the town importance as a transportation center, and advant- age possessed by no other Interior town.

Washington, Oct 75:-Cross-eoun-
try operation of mail carrying motor
trucks, tried out by the post office de-
partment on an experimental but new
ertheless big scale. during the last
year. has been a great success.
James I. Blakslee. fourth assistant
postmaster general has found tina one
truck route between Philadelphia and
Washington, cutting chiefly through
territory without direct rail connec-
ton and costing $500 a month to op-
crate, has in eight months developed a
revenue of $4,000 monthly. Another
route, into Washington, where rs par
cells a day were moved during the first
month, now shows one ton of traf1c
each way each "a hours.
Seventy lines now operate over the
country, all but one east of the Mis-
sisslppi. and there are visions of a sys-
tenn which will furnish $500. 900. 900
annually in revenue for road con-
struction Or other purposes.
Why, General Pershing has 5000
trucks damaged or ruined over on the
other SIDE" said Mr.. Blakeslee, telling
OF the growth of the system. "I don't
care what condition they are in. We
want them all. and can fix up and put
every one of them to work. What's
even more important, he's got some
boys over there shy a hand or an arm
or a leg. and we car use them all, too,
in good work at good pay. that they
can do. Congress gave us $500, 900
to work with, and IL we had the earn
ings of the lines themselves, we could
expand almost indefinitely. As 1t is,
100000 will be requested by the d.
vision for ext year. and I think II will
be appropriated. People realize what
