 Slogan For Truck Tour
Big Demonstration of Hauling Freight To and From War rior River Will Be Held in May-1,00O "Lorres" Ex-

/
 night All of them are heartily in favor of it. and believe that it will be a great thing for all lines of business in this city. The tour will demonstrate better than anything else what oppor tunities lie before Birmingham as q result of having Birmingport within such short hauling distance.
 1000 TRUCKS IN LINE
 The tour is scheduled for April IT, and according to MT. Spencer it is expected that fully 1000 motor trucks, loaded with various cargoes and 'bedecked with many different signs and advertise ments, will parade through the streets of Birmingham before the start is made for the Warrior river. Not only will be the truck dealers and automobile men represented in the parade with floats" :" but the various manufacturers, mer- chants and every line of business using trucks for deliveries and every firm which in any way expects to ship goods from this city to the outside world through Birmingport will be rep resented. It will be an industrial pa rade that will go long way toward making the public realize what oppor- tunities lie in Birmingport and the nearness of the Warrior river to this city
 The road is being rebuilt between here and Birmingport now, and it is ex- pected that it will be finished and in splendid condition by the time of the truck tour. For that reason 1t will not take the trucks long to get down there and after they do get there a barbecue will be arranged for the hungry drivers and shippers. The trucks will return that same evening.

Essex Almost Doubles
 Light Gar Endurance
Essen Has Performance Like the CostHest Fine Cars It's World Endurance Record Has NeUer Been RiUaled

Essex is easy to operate. Driving does not fatigue It's quick response to the lightest touch and it's smooth, restful com fort in motion, account for this.
 That is why so many women are Essex owners They appreciate it's safety, too. Its controls are simple and instantaneous. It makes fast time, with security, even in difficult traffic.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-03-21

The most important. thing Essex has proved is that weight and size are no longer necessary to finest car quality.
 It's 2037 miles in 50 hours is world en- durance record The test was official. Supervisors of the A. A. A. certified the Essex stock chassis in every detail
 Never before was car driven at top speed for 50 hours. The grind was equal to years of road use. Yet the Essex showed no measurable wear.
 What car, the Essex size and weight, can even attain a mile-a-minute speed, much less keep it up for 50 hours?
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-03-21
Such Endurance as You Want in Your Car

These decisive tests proved Essex not only the supreme performer of the light car field, but they showed that the moderate priced economical Essex has such endur- ance and dependability as few large, high priced cars offer.
 Greater size could add nothing to Essex It has the qualities, weight and size are built to give-riding comfort, solidness, distinction and smooth, quiet pace. But in addition it has fuel, oil and tire economy. And it's great durability means freedom from repair costs and positive, dependable transportation.

A Review of the Initiated and Re
ferred Laws.

There are ten initiated and referred
laws to be voted on at the coming
election. These laws have been pub
lished in the Mancos Times Tribune
and Ackmen Pioneer Chieftain. They
make little over eleven columns fine
print and few people in this busy world
have time to read them.
The first one concerns the hours that
the members of paid fire departments
shall be required to work. 1t is only
of interest to persons living in the
larger towns and cities. Vote as you
please.
The second is to create a board of
Chiropractic examiners for the purpose
of examining Chiroprsctic doctors, or
Chiropractors as they are called, and
issuing licenses to those who are COM
pitent and can pass the examination,
thus keeping incompents and fakes
out of the profession. If it does not
do any better work along this line than

Dolores Musicians in Telluride.

Telluride people were delighted with
the concert given Monday evening in
the Segerberg threatre by the blind
artist, Miss Tozier Of Dolores, and Mr..
Cundy of Durango. A large audience
greeted them. Their program followed
the picture, THE Luck of the Irish, "
and was an especially varied one of
piano selections, readings and songs.
Each number received the hearty ap-
plause it well merited.
The playing of Miss Tozier is mar
velous not false note being sounded
and her own compositions, especially
melodious, were delightful. Miss
Tozier can play for hours, it is said
numbers of her own composition and
her knowledge of the classical in music
is almost unlimited.
Mr.. Cundy's voice is bass of pleas
ing quality and his numbers were ex-
ceptional. Telluride Journal.

it will not be much of success. How
ever, we might give it trial.
Third and fourth are to create new
counties. What we need in Colorado.
and nearly every other state in the
Union, is not more counties but con-
solidation of counties. A new county
means more Office holders and more
taxes. Vote NO on these two
propositions.
Number five is the proposed tunnel
propositions. The voting of bonds in
the amount of eighteen million five
hundred and fifty thousand dollars to
construct the Moffat tunnel which
Denver wants and has been trying for
years to get some one to put up the
money to build it with, the Monarch
tunnel and the San Juan tunnel which
nobody wants. excepting the Denver &
Rio Grande Railroad company. Vote
mo" good and hard on this PROPOSE
ton.
The sixth is to provide suitable build
ings and equipment for the proper care
of the durable insane. 1t is the right
thing to do. Vote Yes.
The seventh has to do with the levy
ing of one mill on taxable property for
the support of our State educational
institutions. We are going to vote
Yes.
Number eight provides for bonds to
build public highways. If the money
would be used judiciously and to the
best advantage this proposition would
be all right. But. under the present
haphazard method of road construction
in most parts of the state. the money
would melt away without leaving any
permanent results so far as the roads
are concerned. Until we have adopted
plan for building permanent roads
and having the work done under the
supervision of competent road engi-
neer, we do not believe it is wise to
create any great debt. Vote mo-.
The ninth concerns the term of office
of county judges. Vote as you please.
The tenth has to do with an advance
in the salaries of governor and supreme
court and district court judges. Plenty
of men have always been found for
these positions at the present scale of
wages. Why advance? Vote NO.

OUR Republican friends have
been treating the League of Nations
so lightly that some people seem to
think that because the United
States Senate has not ratified the
covenant and our nation is not a
member of the League that it does
not amount to much. The League
of Nations is established permantly
and is doing business for which it
was organized. Over forty nations
representing 1900 million people
belong to it. When you realize
that the total population of the
world is only 1850 million you will
notice that almost so per cent OF
the population of the world are
members of the League of Nations.
Not much to it, eh9 Well we
have to admit that Russia, Mexico
and the United States are not yet
members. Say, we out to be proud
OF our company. In Russia it is
the Reds and Bolsheviki that pre-
vent ratification, in Mexico it is
the Greasers and in the United
States it is Politicians, and the only
difference is in the name.

Rebekahs Meet.

Primrose Rebekah Lodge, No. lOs,
met in regular session Thursday even
ing, October 7. Owing to the Durango
fair and the Lyceum course the attend
ance on that night was small, but the
meeting was a very enthusiastic one
as several good talks were made for
the uplift and benefit of the Lodge.
A letter was read from Sister Lula
Brumley who is now in st. Mary's
hospital at Pueblo. Sister Brumley is
an ardent worker in lodge affairs and il
greatly missed from her office. The
members join in wishing her a
speedy recovery from the operation.

Were they not simply included in
order to get the people OF the west
ern slope to vote for it. We under
stand that the San Juan tunnel will
only be about a thousand feet
lower than the summit of the
Cumbres and. while it might give
some relief from the snow block
AIDES, we doubt if it would be suf'
ficient to notice it. If the State
wants to help the transportation in
this section OF the county let it
provide a fund for an outlet to the
south. With railroad to the
south this section of country would
soon develope so that the extra
property brought under taxation
would pay interest and principal
on bonds. The San Juan tunnel
would not increase the taxable
property in this section of the
county in the least, but it would
increase the taxes on the present
taxable property and if you think
your taxes ought TO be higher

Crawford Is Jessimistic

CHICAGO, April 10. B. Craw-
ford. head of the Pacific Fruit Express
was seen in regard to the acute car
shortage situation for the western
States. Mr. Crawford was IN a
manner non-committal, saying that
he had no definite information as to
the exact situation. He said that the
strike had made matters much worse,
and was very pessimistic about the
situation at Brawley. He said he
could see no relief for the melon
shippers. To him the situation looks
extremely serious and unpromlslng.
He said that everybody who was now
using refrigerator equipment was
doing what was possible to free it and
give as many refrigerators as possible
! to the West for the cantaloupe
movement. He did not hesitate to say
/ that such an effort was usually un-
satisfactory.
Concerning the territory in the
East Mr.. Crawford said it is very
badly congested with cars and so
tied up by the strike. that there was
no movement out and what there
had been was very slow and poor. II
/ it were practical for central bureau
TO assemble the material it could pos
sibly put through enough equipment
to help some, but assembling of cars
under the present conditions, is almost
impossible. To Mr.. Crawford the
melon situation looks black. He says
that he can promise no definite cars
of any quantity until late in June,
when about 1000 will be ready to put
into operation, which of course applies
to the Fall deal. This is too late for
Brawley.
Last year the railroads helped out
the situation by giving up $500
foreign cars. If the same roads
would follow this process this season
the situation may be somewhat re-
lieved, but it is very difficult to get
this cooperation. Such work woulo
necessitate the picking up of the cars
throughout the East where the sltua,
ton is congested and at the present
time it is almost prohibitive. So fai
I as could be learned no reports IRON
the carriers had been received thai
would indicate any relief. Mr.
Crawford is flooded with requests, bI
telegram and letter, from growers
urging the vital necessity OF ree1el
cars.

dent of the company gave this state
ment yesterday:
"The directors of the company wish
the stockholders to know that if they
will send their assessment in at once
to Frank j. Macomber, Union build
ing, San Diego, that work will be re-
sumed quicker than by putting it off
until the last day. If anyone has stock
in another's name he should sstate in

the stock is listed under so that it

Distributors; Jack Nagel, of the

At that meeting the shippers estimat'
ed the movement this year of refrlg-
orator cars will be about as follows
April l1,739; May, 1851; June. 10, ,52l;
July, 20,952; August, 14,25S; Septem-
ber, 15,470; October, 14,934; making
| total car movement necessary to ac-
commodate perishable stock of 105,-
72O cars for the year against S9,Soo
last year.
This conference also showed that
the P. F. E. has west of Ogden, l,900
refrigerators as against 1000 at this
time last wear. The Santa Fe has
west of Albuquerque, 1000 refriger-
ator cars. as against $4,000 last year.
This is les sthan half the cars neces.
sarv to move the greatly increased
tonnage of perishables.
Cantaloupe Estimate $4,000 Cars
The west bound movement OF empty
refrigerator cars for the Imperial
Valley is now $50 a day, and TINS
must be increased Immediately to ooo
a day to be of any benefit to the can
taloupe crop here.
Mr.. Barnes Joined the shippers rep
resentatives in an appeal TO the
American Railway Association, to get
busy at once and get the cars started
to where they are so much needed,
otherwise the shipping situation VIII
be hopeless.
Advices here in regard to the move
ment of cantaloupes are very pessi,
mistic. There should be at least 5Oo
cars rolling to the west daily. While
it is hardly possible to get enough
before June to handle one-third of the
crop. This is without considering
the 500 cars that are needed at
Coachella for onions. There should
also be considered the normal need OF
cars for citrus fruit and vegetables.
A later estimate of the cantaloupes
acreage is 21.367, which should yield
$4,000 cars. The lowest estimate is
9 900. Young melons are growing
nicely, and are now the size OF a.
baseball. The temperature is 95@lOo
and excellent for the vines.
