OLD WHISKY TRAIL I.
NOW DRY, DRY, ROAD
Motorists Through Panhandle
Say Route Is Every Bit as
Perilous as When Infested by
Fierce Deputy Sheriffs.

Dry days-dry from a standpoint of
atmospheric as well as nonalcoholic
cond1tlonS-have not dealt kindly with
that link of the Idaho Montana high
way system which has earned the, So
briquet whisky Trail" says the Spo-
kane Spokesman Review.
In days gone by Montana, when one
OF the few wet states, poured its con-
traband liquor into Idaho on its me-
anderings in Washington over the
whisky trail" which was religiously
followed by those interested in vend-
ing liquor at exorbitant prices. Hun
dreds of arrests have been made on
this outlet from Montant points to the
Occur dAienes. Every foot of the pre-
cipitous climb bears its mute story of
clashes between booze peddlers and Of
ficers. Logs have been rolled across
the road to stop cars believed laden
with liquor in years gone by. Every
ruse known to limbs Of the law and
bootleggers alike have been tried out
to trap offenders and evade officers
on this bit of stored highway.
CARRY AXES ON CARS
Motorists coming through Spokane
after completing the strenuous stretch
through the Idaho panhandle and Mon
tana complain that forest fires have
prevented extensive work on the road.
and it is necessary for tourists to
carry axes and shovels. Smoke clouds
the view and stings the eyes of driv-
ers. Dry weather has caused deepen
ing of dust filled ruts and rocks have
been allowed to litter the trail.

through Spokane during the week en-
route home from Detroit, after COW
ering 3112 miles in Hupmobile. as
serts that the road between Missoula
and Wallace is in deplorable condi-
ton.
Fires are still burning and one can
see only 100 feet ahead at any time,
said Mr.. Leisy. ''In Mineral county,

LIGHT ALWAYS ON ROAD
Cadillac fitting Device Takes
Danger Out of Curves
and Bad Hills.

Night driving along strange roads Is
an exciting occupation at best, espe
cially in a community where road
building has not progressed beyond the
preliminary stages. Curves and hills
are always approached with anxiety
because it Is never certain what may
be found just out of sight. The curve
may be a hairpin turn or it may be
long and easy. The down grade on
the other side of a hill may be brake
tester or it may be gradual slope.
The wide range of possibilities causes
marked uncertainty.
In such situations the lights should
be of great use. Isn't it strange, then,
that until recently nothing has been
provided to assist drivers under such
conditions. The ordinary light illumi-
mates the fields as a turn Is made or
shoots off into the sky when the top
of a hill Is reached.
The Cadillac fitting headlamp Is
highly desirable because it embodies
the advantage of remaining always on
the road under all circumstances.
When 1t is tilted down 1t lights up the
outer edge of the road on Il turn or
the down grade when topping a hill.
1t has a downward angle which con-
centrates the rays Of light at the most
useful place.
These lamps have all the advantages
of others in that they provide a
stronger, steady light at three hundred
feet when in the normal position. and
In addition do not require dimming
under any circumstances. because when
passing q car the filters are lowered
and the driver is not suddenly blinded
by a glare, because the rays are not
high enough to reach the level of his

AMERICAN CARS WIN
/ RACING HONORs At
MEET IN AUSTRALIA
Lexington Minute Man Six Cap
lures Main Stock Events
Track Is Nine Frlrlong Cinder
Oval, No Banking.

Automobile racing is the latest
Americanized sport to gain popularity
in Australia.
Twenty thousand persons witnessed
a race meet recently at Sydney, Aus,
according to newspaper reports from
that city.
The events We're held over n new
cinder oval measuring nine furlongs,
or one and ne-eighth miles. Ameri-
can built cars won four of the six
events in competition with several
prominent European makes.
A Lexington Minute Man Six, man
ufactured by the Lexington Motor COM
pany of Connersville, Ind, L. :. A.,
carried away the honors in the prin-
cipal stock events OF the day. Driven
by A. v Turner of Sydney. the Amer
lean entry captured the initial heat Of
a 20-lap race. The winning margin.
according to the Sydney sunday sun,
was co Yards which evidently is the
Australian way of figuring margins.
In the final heat the Lexington OBJ
tanned the lead at the start aud held
Its position throughout, winning from
It's nearest competitor by 200 Eards.
The time for the initial heat was 2S
minutes. - - seconds; that for the
final heat, 81 minutes 81 seconds.
A second Lexington entered in the
second heat of this event captured
third.
The sydney sun lauds the driving
of the various pilots, particularly that
of A. V. Turner. 1t describes the rae
ing as being good on the whole par
ticularly in view of the uncertain
track.

TRUCKS To MAIN LINES

Where, heretofore, the development
of the country for 80 miles on either
side of trunk line has required the
construction of light branch lines, 1t
is a question to be seriously consid-
cred whether this policy should be con :
tinued or whether the products of the
farm should not be handled by motor
car to the main lines"
These are the words of G. A. Morse
one of the best known railroad men in
/ the United States, now assistant direc-
tor of operation of the federal railway
administration.
The perfection of the motor truck,
! together with the universal use of the
automobile, has introduced a new ele-
ment in the transportation problem
that should be taken into consideration
at this time, while studying the reor-
| ganization of the whole transportation
| system" said Mr.. Morse.
Long before the motor truck came
into anything like general use in haul
/ ing farm products to market and rail-
road shipping points, it was recognized
| by operators that the small branch
railroad as a feeder for the trunk line
was more often a losing proposition
than a financial success. In many in
stances stub lines were built to ac-
commodate small though prosperous
valley, and in others the railroads built
branches that would be certain losers
as an aid in developing and settling a
new section of country.
But the present era is one of fast
increasing use of motor trucks. They
are forcing the Improvement rural
highways. and making longer hauls to
market and railroad pay the farmer
The day Will surely come when the
short branch railroad cannot stand the
competition, and Mr.. Morse is right In
urging recognition Of that fact now.
