The Cadillac was driven by Sergeant
George Damewood, whose mother, Mrs.
Emma Damewood. lives at Little York,
Ill. Sergeant Damewood estimates the
distance covered by the car as 10000
miles. and asserts that no matter how
bad the roads or how roadless was the
territory to be covered It always went
through. He says that he experienced
less engine trouble on these war time
Journeys than he had in the old days
when he was chauffeur in this country.
Official records indicate that the
chauffeur was es trustworthy as was
the Cadillac. General Orders No. So
OF the Second Division. under date of
September IL. 1918, contains the citation
of Sergeant Damewood for distinguished
service in carrying messages and assist
ing wounded officers and men during the
capture of Vierzy in July.
Sergeant Damewood and other men
OF the Fifth Regiment displayed an I'M
usual affection for the Cadillac veteran
of many battles After they had settled
down In Germany the men requested
and obtained permission to decorate the
car. Three gold service chevrons were
painted on the cowl to the left of the
driver and one gold chevron on the
cowl to the right.

as daredevil exploit. Il means the

mercial aviation on large scale
1t also means that the gasolene motor

that the average efficient life OF an air

secutive flying the performance Of the
Rolls Royce engine In the vickers-vimy
Is really very remarkable--two miles a
minute FOR sixteen hours.
One OF the most important factors in
the success Of the flight was the use of
Zephyr pistons in the engine The Rolls
Royce Company. after exhaustive tests,
made during the war. found that these
pistons were most efficient and con-
tained all the essential qualities of
perfect piston.
The pistons Of all motors are the
messengers of power to the main driv-
Ing shaft. whether for the propeller of
plane. the propeller OF a motor boat
or the road wheels Of a road vehicle.
and as such should be as carefully, Sc
lected as to design and worth as are
messengers for all other important
duties.

of New York.
These cars average from eighteen TO

engine and derives its power from con-
verting the fuel used into heat. 1t is
the expansion of the heated gases In
the cylinders that results in the i'm
pulses necessary to run the motors.

Corporation To Be Formed to
Exploit Saratoga's Hot Water

1t should be good news to u great
many people in the Platte Valley to
learn that IL company of responsible
men have become interested in a move
ment to develop one of our greatest
natural resources, which for IA space
of Is or 20 years has lain dormant be-
cause of the perversity Oh lack of prog
ress or business acumen of the owners
thereof. Saratoga's natural hot water
is now to be exploited and unless all
signs fail this town will o he reap
ing some benefit from one of the fine
mineral springs which have been al
lowed to run to waste for generations.
Mr.. a. +. Torelle of Spokane. and
three well known business men of Raw
Inns have formed u company which has
come into possession of the large spring
which rises on the west side of the riv-
er, and they are now busy with plans
to give the people of Saratoga and our
many visitors IL summer tourists
some of the benefits and comforts to
which they are entitled from this great
latuldl phenomenon. rams are HOW
being formulated for extensive de-
velopment, and while no great amount
of actual work can be accomplished
this fall, the year 1920 will undoubtedly
witness the expenditure of a large
amount of money on buildings and
other construction work.
Early last January Messrs. NJ. b.
McKillip and II. |. Martin of Saratoga
made application to the state engineer
of Wyoming for an appropriation of
the waters of this spring, and the appli-
cation vas approved and the %appropria-
ton granted. This appropriation was
made with the sole object of attempting
to bring about some development of the
hot water through outside interests,
and a number of different people be-
came more or less interested i'm the
proposition. During the month of Tune
the attention of A.. Il. Torelle, a ny
draulic engineer of Spokane, was di-
, 1919-10-02

rected TO the spring and its possibili-
ties. and Mr.. Torelle Immediately
got busy with the result that he. in
company with X. H. Hadsell. Kirk
Miller and Barry Sullivan. all promi-
nent business men of RawlinS. bought
the water right and will invest their
money in development of the property
modern type. besides other plans which
are not yet fully matured.
Their plan. according to infOrma-
ton given The Sun. is to form Il cor
poration. in which they expect to in
terest other wealthy men. and at least
one prominent physician and surgeon,
in order to provide for the installation
of II sanitarium here for the use and
benefit of invalids and sufferers from
those diseases in the treatment of
found to be beneficial. Mr.. Torelle
states that he has already Interested
several men in the state of Washing
ton, who will very likely join him and
his associates i'll their plans for IA
health II pleasure resort here.
Mr.. Torelle is the representative of
and engineer for the Spokane firm
which has been granted II franchise for
the installation of waterworks i'll Sara

he has had urvey made at the hot
spring preliminary to the construction

WATER FRANCHISE GRANTED
Council Passed Ordinance Granting to
Spokane People Right to Install
City Water Plant.

At a meeting of the town council
held last Saturday evening the pro-
posed waterworks franchise came up
for third reading and final action. and
the ~ordinanc was passed by unani-
nous vote of he councilmen after
some minor changes desired had been
agreed to by Mr.. Torelle, the com
pany's engineer, who revised some
portions of the document to meet the
wishes of the council.
The initial installation of mains and
laterals is now being planned by Mr..
Torelle, who states that, due to the
iateness of the season, he will not be
able to accomplish IA great deal except
in the way of preliminary work this
fall. He expects, however, to complete
all surveys of the route of the pipe
lines, and this work will be taken up
at once. He will also make a thor
ough investigation of the available wa
ter supply from various quarters, to
decide whether or not a gravity sys-
TEN can be installed. This question, of
course, will hinge upon whether or not
a sufficient supply of mountain water
can be secured, and at Il proper eleva-
tion and within Il reasonable distance
of the town. If this plan does not
prove feasible, hen the water supply
will be secured by means of a modern
natural gravel filtration plant, the wa
ter being pumped from the Platte
river.
While no actual construction work
can be done this fall. Mr.. Torelle
states that during the winter all the
pipe, fittings, hydrants and other ma
terials will be contracted for and got
ten ready for delivery early in the
spring, and that work on the installa-
ton of the plant will be started at the
earliest possible date next year.
The initial system will. he esti-
mates. require between 5,Uuv anu a.
600 feet of mains. in order to give Il
distribution system which can serve
he entire business section and the
greater part of the residential dis
tricts of the town Under the fran
chise the city contracts for twenty-five
fire hydrants, which, when properly dis
tributed. should afford adequate fire
protection to almost the entire town.
Mr.. Torelle asks The Sur to express
TO the business men of Saratoga his
appreciation of their cooperation and
assistance in advancing the water
works matter, and for the support Civ
en- the mayor and council during the
consideration of this important mat
ter by that body.

Contributed

A young man, Mr.. Geo. W. Powell,
from Hope Mills, is now at Cordova con-
sidering the overseership of the cloth
room. Mr.. Powell, we believe, is of
strong Christian character. And, if he
moves his family here, no doubt, he will
be a great help to this splendid mill viii
lage.
Mr.. G. G. Hales has right recently be-
gun work at Cordova in Steele's Mills.
Mr.. ]. w. Jenkins, general superintend-
ent of Steele's Mills, is successful bust
ness man. He is man of liberality, and
consideration.
The people of Cordova regret to learn
that Rev. Frank Watson and wife have
influenza. We hope this unpleasant
news is capable of being modified by
later information to nothing more, at the
outset, than severe cold.
There is visible wave of sadness at
Cordova since the death of Mr.. Haywood
Millcan. Mr.. Millican was buried in a
very beautiful cemetery at Laurinbure
last Saturday. do not hesitate to say
that the Millican family is one of the
best of Cordova.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. B. Morse spent a few
hours with their parents Sunday after
noon.
Also Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Seawell, Of
Rockingham, were with Mrs. M. F
Hicks, of near Cordova, a short while
Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Hicks has
noble boy in France. Most people know
him around Rockingham James F
Hicks. am moved to quote two sen
fences from one of his letters to his moth
er: Il assure you that there is nothing
that will give me more pleasure than tt
be able to look into your loving eye
again." Il will try to come home in sucl
a manner and leave such record behint
me that you can be proud of your DO.
and not have to hang your head and sa.
that your boy was not man enough t
resist the temptations that are thrown ii
soldiers way" Let every boy shoy
this same attitude to their loving moth
ers. How happy!
All success lies at the feet of SINGER
