space it occupies and in a few sec
onds time can be diverted from its
track and swung back in q moment
when it is necessary to get proper
distribution of dirt.
It is claimed that when the ditch
is made with the grader this ma
chine will take the dirt and build
the road and maintain it at frac-
ton of the cost of doing it the old
way.
The Avery Road Racer is equipped
with a six-cylinder motor type en-
CINE, the same as is used in the
Avery one-ton truck, and the Avery
corn cultivator, and is mounted at
the front of the machine. After
making half mile Of road the wa
ter in the radiator was scarcely
warm. It has a working speed Of
21a miles per hour and finishing
speed of 4 to Az miles per hour.
Asked as to how much road could
be maintained with the machine the
demonstration replied that at very
conservative estimate the razer
would put in good shape fifteen
miles of road in day and had done
considerably better.
It was said that the Avery COM
Pany had manufactured a road en-
CINE for years, and through watching
the work Of this engine with the in
efficient equipment with which II
was used the company knew what
was needed and when the razer was
patented, gave it a thorough test
and found it just the machine to
keep a road in shape and purchased
the patent. "No machine we have
ever brought out has taken so readily
as this" said Mr.. Simpson, who has
been with the company four years.
eve have never failed to convince
even the most skeptical that this is
the ideal road maintaining machine.
We ask for the worst roads and
streets in the city or county, and
when we finish with them the ma
chine is Sold"
The razer is recommended In
place Of the drag and good reasons
are given for this. It is pointed out
that the drag falls into the low plac-
es, scoops the dirt out and drags II
to the center Of the road, while the
razer, through the use Of the Sec
tional blade, deposits the dirt in the
holds, levels the road and makes II
smooth. This was demonstrated to
the satisfaction of those who saw it
demonstrated.
The fact that one man can operate
the machine successfully makes II
economical Of operation, and the
nice work it does makes it appeal to
all.
Members Of the city council and
board of county commissioners of
Liberal and adjoining counties and
nearby cities who saw the machine
work are enthusiastic over it, and
there will no doubt be many of
them purchased In this territory.
During both demonstrations we did
not hear anyone who could advance
an objection to the machine, manner
of operation or the work it did. In
fact, it went out and made good in
such an easy manner that any who
might have come to criticize were
transformed into boosters.
Messers. Eldridge & See who have
the agency in this territory were
responsible for the demonstration
and are to be commended for the
part they had in the demonstra-
ton.

AVERY ROAD RAzER is
PRONOUNCED SUCCESS
Demonstration Convinoes Practi-
-cabiIity of Newest In Road Max
ing Machinery

Z,
t'They have got the right idea at
last" said man who has had more
trouble and grief over the road ques-
ton than any other man in Seward
county, as he saw the demonstra-
ton Of the Avery Road Racer Thurs
day afternoon. And this sentiment
was voiced by almost every man on
the scene.
A representative Of the Demo-
crat was present at two demonstra-
tions of the machine and is frank
to say that nothing which has been
brought out compares with the
Avery Road Racer in efficiency,
economy, ease or speed Of operation.
The feature Of the machine which
appeals most is the quality Of the
work 1t does; next is the speed with
which it accompanies its work; third
the ease with which it is operated
and last but not by any means least,
the low cost with which a road may
be maintained.
+ The first demonstration was Civ
en- north Of the end of the Kansas
avenue paving. The recent rains
had put this road in its usual bad
condition. Rough and bumpy, cut up
and rutted. At the end Of the pave
rnent there was jump-off not con-
ductive to ease in travel. The ma
chine went over the road cutting
off the bumps and ridges, taking
the dirt from the high places and
depositing it in the holes. Despite
the bad shape Of the road the ma
chine made it smooth in few trips.
Then the hole at the end Of the
paving was filled and leveled, MAX
ing a finished job. All of this in a
few minutes.
Friday afternoon the machine was
demonstrated further north on what
Is admitted the worst piece of road
in the county. This is a fill between
two bitches standing full of water.
The soil is gumbo, the road at
this place passing through slough.
The road had been badly cut up,
was bumpy due to lack of dragging
at previous rainy periods. Persons
who had passed over the road Fri
day morning said it was necessary
to shift to intermediate to navigate
the road. This did not bluff the
road razer. It went about its work,
cutting down the high places, fill
ing the ruts and transferring the dirt
from where 1t should not be to
where it was needed, and in very
time an almost ideal road was made.
It was explained by the demonstra-
tors tht it was difficult matter to
make a good road of such a piece
in one operation, but that a few
treatments would make it as smooth
as a payment. Everyone who saw
the demonstration was satisfied that
the new machine is destined to revo-
lutionize road maintenance and is
the machine for the job.
The reason for this is plain. The
machine is made with a sectional
blade instead Of solid one as in
older machines. It cuts swath 9
feet and inches. The side blades
are 5h feet wide, the center IN.
This admits of setting the blades to
conform to the grade Of the road.
Each blade has lever and can be
operated Independently Of the 9TH
'ers, allowing the operator to place
the dirt where It is needed, and by
having the dirt in front of him, can
dispose Of it and operate the ma
chine to better advantage than is
possible with two man outfit.
The machine can be turned in the

Corporations Must
Pay Fees; Courts
May Be Utilized

The state corporation depart
ment has recourse to the courts in
an action at law for the collection
OF unpaid corporation fees from
a foreign corporation operating
within the state since 1913 with
out ever having paid its fees, ac.
cording to an opinion prepared by
Attorney General Van Wrinkle for
Corporation Commissioner Hand
ley. A penalty of 800 for failure
to comply with the corporation
laws can be collected in the same
manner the attorney general holds.
In an opinion to T. Fl. Goyne,
district attorney of Tillamook
county, Van Wrinkle holds that
counties are authorized by law to
maintain and conduct county fairs
at county expense. The law also
permits the levying of tax for the
construction of necessary build
ings, the opinion points out.

In his letter to the president

numerous problems involving utiI-
ity regulation were solved. No
order of the commission, during
his incumbency, was ever set aside
by any court, although some cases
were carried othe United States
supreme court, Corey points out.
Under his supervision the
physical properties of the railroads
and larger publ. utilities Of Ore
