Leadership in Sedans and Coupes

NLDSMOBILE long foresaw that the
widespread popularity of the enclosed
car was inevitable. Accordingly, a va
riety of models was developed in order that
every Oldsmohile enthusiast might be enabled
to choose one that precisely fits his require
ments. ~IN
These beautiful enclosed cars reflect Oldsmo-
bile's twenty-three years of leadership in a
number of ways. They establish a most dis
tinguished style. They set the pace in com
fort, in smartness, in convenience and in me-
schanical reliability.
\ The eight-cylinder Sedan is a luxurious. digni-
fed seven-passenger coach. The six-cylinder
Sedan is a commodious 6ve-passenger car.
The Coupe, also built on the standard six-cyl-
inder chassis, is a three-passehger car with a
for,vard-facing auxiliary seat for a fourth
a. person.
Athorough investigation of any of these mod
els will prove to your complete satisfaction
that Oldsmobile offers supreme value in en-
closed cars.

tion to the following figures, which surely do not support the economy theory:
 The Nenana river bridge will call for 315 tons of iron; 600 tons of Portland cement; 756 tons of tim ber-l, ,676 tons in all.
 The Panama river bridge will call for 2,557 tons of iron; 1920 tons of cement; 1875 tons of timber 5,252 tons in all, or 6,923 tons for both bridges.
 You will find, on inquiry, that the additional cost of bringing in this tonnage by the rivers, above the cost of bringing it in over the Governments own road, will not eX- ceed $2O ton. At that rate we are able to set $13S,560 on the economy side of the sheet. Oppo- site this saving, set the overhead cost of maintaining the Engineering commission an additional two years, and approximately $20,000 a year expended and lost, in replacing yearly the temporary the Nenana river bridge, operating the contem- plated aerial tram over the same river, operating ferry over Panama river, tonnage lost through lack of dependable ransportation-and what becomes of the economy argument?
 It is as citizens of this great h. terior country that we address this letter to you and your colleagues, and we would again assure you or our confidence in your efforts in be- half of Alaskan affairs.
 Very cordially,

CLUB SENDS LETTER
 TO HASTEN BRIDGES

The principal business before the Nenana Commercial club at last nights meeting was the further con- sideration of plans for hastening the construction of railway bridges to span the Nenana and Panama riv- CTS, so as to insure the completion of the Government railroad by the time the work of tracklaying is fin ished between the present ends of steel.
 The matter was referred to briefly in letter of general recommenda- tion by Secretary Robert Joseph Diven last month, and the club is now sending follow-up letter, deal ing with the bridge question ex- clusively. The letter was prepared

 |that the wire would be followed by
 Ia letter containing comprehensive statement of the situation.
 A letter from the Fairbanks Com Imercial club was read, in which it
 Twas stated that cooperation might
 be expected from that organization
 both in the matter of bridge work
 suggested and in the matter of in
 creased wages for employees of the
 Alaskan Engineering commission. The letter requested figures and
 arguments, and contained the assur-
 ance that the questions would be
 taken up with Chairman Mears upon
 his arrival from the coast.
 The local clubs letter on the
 bridge question reads as follows: Nenana, Alaska, Feb. ?, 1920.
 The Honorable J. L. McPherson, Washington, D. C.
 Dear Sir: When, in our com munication of few days ago, the Nenana Commercial club briefly pre- sented the question of the early construction of the Nenana and Tan ana river bridges, and asserted that such action is of vital importance to the future as we'll as the present interests of Interior Alaska, we were sure that we were speaking sanely. Recent research by committee of the club leads us to present the mat ter again, and urge all men who are interested in saving Alaska from worse disaster than has already overtaken it, to look up this ques- tion very fully.
 The Alaskan Engineering commits sion's present plan is to delay the installation of these bridges until i such time as the track is ready to Icarry the materials in from the Anchorage end. This program is based on economy in transporta- tion. It means that we will have no bridges for from three to four years from this date, unless some thing wonderful in construction work is made possible by Congress and accomplished by the commis- sion. With the past and present record of Congress in relation to the whole Alaskan country before us, we ere hardy warranted in en- tertaining an optimism that can con- template such exceptional achieve ment as something that is sure to take place. The tunnels, rock work and viaducts in the Nenana canyon country will occupy the commission 1 for two years, and must be com lpleted before bridge materials can be brought here by rail- These bridges cannot be built in day, nor in a year, after all materials are here. Interior Alaska's coal is on the farther side of the Nenana river. The temporary bridge over the Nenana goes out each summer with the ice, just as it is expected to do. That event interrupts traffic for about five months, at very i'm portant season. By placing these two bridges simultaneously with the remaining two years of track work, the whole Interior Alaskan situation would take on more hopeful as, pect. The present development work in the Nenana coal fields could and would take shape as commercial enterprise of attractive proportions. for coal could then be mined at all seasons, with assurance that it could be forwarded to the numerous wait ! ing markets. With this cheaper fuel many important mining enterprises ! in the Fairbanks district and else where, which, under present condi- tions, cannot operate, could and :yonld on ahead Tho nrnsnacti,a

CHAPTER ~.

She had always been. when he last
saw her, the outstanding beauty of
Syracuse, but he was astounded to be-
hold what the interval of two years
had done for her. She had taken up
on herself new maturity; her figure,
exceptionally graceful. was still slen-
der; but suggestive of more woman
ly, more inclusive charm.
He was being presented to her
He, who had kissed her a thousand
times, was undergoing the ritual of
presentation land she was smiling at
him with those grave, sweet eyes OF
hers, and calling him by his adopted
name! His mask of protection had
never seemed so slight, so insufficient;
the fragrance Of her, and the Illusion
caused by this, threatened his bal
ance and set his nerves on edge; for
tunately, the routine of the conven-
lions interviewed to save him from his
inarticuateness. For one thing, there
was the rite Of introduction to Arm
strong, and after that there was q
dash of promiscuous conversation,
with not little weather philosophy in
1t. Then came the memorable hush
caused by the presence OF stranger
whose fads and fancies are still a mat
ter Of conjecture, and out of that hush
a question, and Hilliard was suddenly
visited by species Of self-hypnosis.
If he had been moved at all by the
sight Of Angela, whom he had loved
as younger sister, he was, by COM
parison shaken as by a whirlwind by
the sight of Carol Durant, whom he
had loved as a woman. Not on the
train, not at the hotel, not even when
he witnessed Angela's severe grief,
had he remotely conceived that this
instant would be so difficult to sur
mount. What in New York had SEEM
ed regeneration, and earlier on this
same evening had appeared very
dubious deception, was rapidly taking
upon itself the color of irremedable
wrong. His Imagination was aroused
beyond belief; and as he stared In
dumb suspense at Carol, recalling a
thousand episodes and thousand
privileges Of the long ago, he was
preyed upon by slow-stealing grim
ness of despair which left him sick
with misery.
She was waiting for an answer
and the others were waiting, too, and
watching him. He felt that guilt was
stamped on his every feature :.
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1920-05-21

Hilliard was again in demand; there
was flood Of incoherent questioning,
and he was giving details, answering
queries, volunteering information
which might never have been asked,
describing Neuilly, the hospital, the
surgeons, the nurses, the wholly indie
scribable atmosphere of France In
wartime. He was strengthening his
position, phrase by phrase; his insou-
Glance redoubled; he had laid rock
foundation never to be successfully
assailed. There came an abrupt
pause; Miss Durant rose and came to
him, and he was on his feet to meet
her.
THANK you" she said, giving him
her hands. His heart missed a beat
his blood ran geld. "Thank you. If
you can I. / wish you'd talk to me
again before you go alone :.
wish livery much. You've made me
at least, can be glad you were
there to help him, but l want to
know so much more 4. so infinitely
much more :"
A fleeing impulse clawed at Hill
liard's judgment; he yielded to It
blindly. 1t meant the alteration of
his plan of action. 1t meant a trife
more of danger; and a gratuitous risk
at that, but 1t was genius-genius.
Miss Durant" He made sure that
the others were beyond the range Of
his voice Miss Durantl said he
sent no word to you; that was true as
far as knew the truth, but there's
one letter he started to write-just at
the last 1t wasn't addressed to
anyone; didn't know who 1t was for.
1 brought II with me on the chance
that I'd find out. 1 didn't want to
speak of 1t before every one. because
IL It's yours. thought you'd
you understand, don't yon? I'm almost
positive 1t was meant for you. It's
only a few lines he wasn't ever
strong enough to finish 1t I've
got 1t at the hotel now. May bring
1t to you tomorrow"
She held her breath for an instant;
her mouth quivered. She. looked at
him searchingly.
Surely. :. live just across
on the corner, Mr.. Hilliard. The brick
house. Can you come early7"
"How soonT He was telling him
self that his former passions were
atrophied; she was no longer able to
dIsquiet him. His inspiration was
ommercial-strictly commercial.
