FOR N. Y. MOTORISTS
Valuable Information on the
Complete Ferry
System.

New fork's peculiar situation makes
It necessary for motorists who do very
much touring in this vicinity TO make
frequent use OF the various ferries across
the Hudson River and Long Island
Sound. In order 10 ascertain the ac-
commodations which are now provided
In this connection the touring bureau
OF the American Automobile Association.
through Its metropolitan division, has
collected a mass Of information which
comprises ferry schedules, rates for
carrying automobiles, restrictions as TO
height OF cars, &c. All of the Hudson
River ferries are now operating on their
spring schedules and some of them plan
TO start their summer schedules early
IN May.
The Newburgh-B Beacon ferry operated
all winter without any cessation, while
the Garrison-West Point ferry was OBJ
liged to suspend operations for a period
Of only three weeks during the coolest
weather. The Hudson Athens ferry is
now running its boats on its regular
summer schedule. while the two ferries
which lie between Nyack and Tarrytown

REASONS FOR ESSEX SUCCESS.
New Car Meets a Big Public De-
mand.

While the wonderful success OF the
new Essex car astonished tho local au-
tomobile trade It did not surprise Harry
S. Houpt, president of the Hudson Mo
tor Car Company OF New York.
In discussing the popularity of the new
Essex car Mr.. Houpt says: ''It was
simply case OF the Hudson Motor Car
company anticipating what the public
wanted. The Essex car was not built in
hurry to meet this demand OF the pub
lie but was the result of careful study
and years OF experience which produced
the Hudson Super-Six. one OF the most
popular fine cars IN the world.
The car was built to meet the de-
mand for a light weight moderate priced
automobile of the highest quality and
every feature embodied in this car was

submitted to the most rigid tests before

Clever designing has enabled the en-
gineers to produce a car in which per-
Torrance, luxury and finish compare
with the highest priced automobiles on
the market Although built for five
passengers. the Essex provides more
room in the front compartment and in
the tonnesu than do most seven passen-
ger automobiles. The seats are deep and
comfortable. The springs are long
enough to secure comfortable riding even
on the toughest roads.
In the past automobiles have been
developed along two widely separated
lines. One has been toward a cheap,
light car. Economy and low first cost
have been its chief advantages. The
other trend has been toward luxury,
comfort and endurance at the expense
OF low first cost and heavy maintenance
expense. The Essex was built to COM
bine the advantages of both these types

Deadwood, S. D.-The Bixby
and Faith districts, northeast of
the Black Hills, are the scenes
of the latest oil excitement in
western South Dakota. An ex-
pert from the Edgemont oil fields
who has just visited the oil pros
poets in the vicinity of Bixby ex-
presses the belief that the
dome which has attracted at
tention is a good one and that
the prospect for oil is good. AT
Faith, which is only a short dis
tance from the new field, there
is a great deal of excitement and
ample money has been subscrib-
ed to exploit the supposed oil
fields and definitely determine
whether oil can be found in pay
ing quantities. Portable rigs,
with a capacity of drilling 5000
feet into the bowels of the earth,
if necessary, will be taken to
the scenes of the new oil excite
ment for the purpose of develop
ing the fields by the drilling of
wells.
