A Superior Engine
jenkins car has the wire wheels,
weighs $500 pounds and is equipped
with front tires that are 33x4 and
rear tires that are 35x5, this over
size giving greater speed at the ex-
pense of power. Mr.. Jenkins be-
lieved that the engine in the Nash
had such superior power that he
could place it at this much disad-
vantage as to pulling power and yet
climb the Fielding grades out of
Bear river canyon and he was right.
They did not have to stop on the
grade nor get out and push. 1t car
ried both men every foot Of the way.
Observed Traffic Rules
OF course they had to observe the
traffic rules. At Blackfoot they
could not cross street or round
corner at more than eight miles an
hour, and most of the towns and vii
lagos along the way have the ten to
fifteen mile speed limits. Those who
saw them leaving Blackfoot are said
to have turned their backs. Those
who saw them going thru some Of the
other towns did not see clearly just
what 1t was, so they might as we'll
have had their backs turned. Com
ing back thru Ogden they watched
the speedometer because there was
speed cop watching them. At Five
Points just above Malad a woman in
the road signaled them and they
stopped She wanted some informa-
ton about the road and they gave 1t
to her.
They Said 'Hello"
At Malad they stopped thirty

Best Route From BlackfoOt
People going from Blackfot to
Wolverine with present road condi-
tons should parallel the railroad for
six and hail miles from the Black
foot, depot to the first crossing above
Wapello, then 60 east to the end of
the road, turn north half a mile and
then go east past the Frank Just
farm, ascend the bench road and fol-
low in an easterly direction to the
MacCosham & Ziegler ranch (the
Fourier place. twenty-tow miles

minutes to pour some oil and also got
the Three-A Garage on the phone.
Robert Osborn answered the phone
and on being asked II they had re-
ceived the telegram announcing
them out of Salt Lake on the re-
turn trip, Robert replied that they
had not, but in about twenty minutes
such a telegram was delivered. They
were then on the top Of the range
coming over into Marsh valley and
in another two hours they stood in
the Three-A Garage at Blackfoot.
The Air Was Light
One interesting feature OF this trip
was that the front tires were given
only fortylfive pounds of air and the
rear tires, the diversified ones, were
given only thirty-five pounds. They
had no tire trouble on the trip and
did nothing to the car at Salt Lake
excepting to look it over and give it
oil and gas. They did not test the
air. It seemed to be standing up all
right, the tires were not too hot, and
It carried them back with no acci-
dent excepting the breaking of the
fan belt, which Mr.. Cooper said had
run 5000 miles. They had new
one in the car, but were so near home
when the break came that they did
not want to lose any time putting it

to reduce the speed to ten miles an
hour to keep from going over the
grade at the turns, SO 1t brought the
car down to honest climbing.
The Nash roadster made this trim
on twenty-four gallons of gasoline
and two quarts Of oil added during
the run, reeling. of eighteen miles
per gallon Of gasoline and doing all
its climbing of grades on the high
gear.
Fan Belt Broke
On the return trip the fan belt
broke at TT. Hall and the motor
meter indicated rise of temperature
when the fan stopped working. Jen-
kins shut down the speed to forty
five miles an hour, (they were max
ing sixty and Cooper crawled out on
the side, lifted the hood and poured
more oil into the engine, closed the
hood and got back into the car still
speeding at f0rty-five miles an hour.
They came on in to Blackfoot with
out the aid Of the fan.
Car Beat the Mails
This Nash car beat the mails, and
for while 1t looked as If 1t would
beat telegram. They left Salt Lake
City at 1890 and telegram sent
to the Three-A Garage at Blackfoot,
Idaho announcing their departure on
the return trip was not delivered till
they were on the Malad summit
within two hours ride of home, hay
ing covered more than half of the
distance.
No Shifting of Levers
The Nash roadster made the round
trip Of 428 miles without the use Of
the shift lever. Before the car left
Blackfoot it was put in high gear,
the lever taken off and the shift
sealed with wax so that it had to
start in high gear and run in high
or not run at all. The lever remained
at Blackfot turnout the day and the
Nash roadster with its passengers
registered at the office of the Pacific
Nash oMtor company at Salt Lake at
1920 in the morning, after having
left Blackfoot at 5 a. m.
How it Came About
This trip was the result of chal-
lenge. D. A. Jenkins is a happy be-
lever in the Nash cars, and he
bought this roadster and made the
boast that he could drive it to Salt
Lake City on high gear. He also
boosted that he could drive it to Salt
Lake and back between breakfast
and supper. or course nobody be-
lieved he could do it unless he
avoided all the steep hills and ate a |
scandalously early breakfast and a
late supper.
Harry Cooper the mechanic at the
Three-A Garage shared Jenkins be-
lief that the Nash might do the trick
and he undertook to help make the
trial. They left the Three-A Garage

Chilean Fruit In America.

An experimental shipment of grapes
was sent to New York with a view of
ascertainng whether market could
be found in the United States for the
product of the Chilean vineyards. The
grapes were shipped in cold storage
and are reported to have arrived in
excellent condition and to have been
sold at highly satisfactory prices. 1t
Is reported that another shipment Is
planned as soon as arrangements can
be made. The experiment is of par
ticular interest, since it is possible that
the expectation of fresh fruit from
Chile to the United States might be-
come very profitable, providing that
shipping facilities were available.
Chile produces fine fruit of almost
every variety known to the temperate
zone and it ripens during the winter
months in the United States when the
market would be at its best.

PEACE OR WAR FOR IRISH?

Cresson Accused of Con-

BY EDWARD W. PIcKARo.

Ireland occupied the center of the
world stage last week, and at TINS
writing it is uncertain whether she
will gain peace by accepting the Brit
ish governments offer Of dominion
rule, or adopt the irreconcilable atti-
tude of De Valera and the other Sim
tein leaders and thereby probably
pring upon herself Il suicidal war with
;reat Britain. In the closing days OF
the week Dali Eireann, the Sim Fem
parliament, was in secret session de-
batting the momentous problem. There
was slight chance that 1t would not
indorsc De Valera's rejection of the
Lloyd George offer, and another
chance that the plan would be sub
mltted to plebiscite by which the
people of southern Ireland might in
struct their leaders to accept the do
minion rule offer.
1t was made evident that the Sim
Feiners were trying to bring Ulster In
to accord with the South so that the
conversations with the British govern
ment might be renewed and possibly
a counter offer made to Lloyd George
The attitude hitherto assumed by Sir
James Craig and his colleagues did
not promise well for the success of
that effort. Indeed, Ulster has been
the stumbling block all through the
negotiations.
To the unprejudiced mind the Brit
ish offer seems extremely liberal, CIV
ing to Ireland equal membership as n
dominion in the British empire, with
full control of Its finances, posts, army
and Internal government, and demand
ing little except loyalty to the em-
plre, control of the seas about Ireland
and certain military and aviation
rights. 1t was specified, also, that
coercion should not be employed
against Ulster, and De Valera has de-
clared southern Ireland can be brought
into an Irish domiliOp without the
use of force. He meant by the use
of the commercial boycott and SINH
lar measures, but General SHUTS Is
confident that time and experience
will bring about the sane result ami
cably.

The Greeks resumed last week their
offensive against the Turkish national
lists, and four strong columns advanced
far toward the Kemalist seat of gov
ernment at Angora while hfth
moved north toward Ismid, which the
Turks were said to be evacuating. 1t
was reported again that the national
lists also were giving up Angora. The
Turks made stand at the ancient
city of Gordium, near the confluence
of the Pursak and Sakaria rivers,
which was used as a concentration
camp by Alexander the Great when he
invaded Persia.

In addressing Dali Eireann, De
Valern declared Lloyd George had not
offered TO Ireland the status of do
mnion government, because no Ire
land was mentioned in the terms, only
two broken pieces of Ireland; and be-
cause dominions have the right to
secede, but Ireland bluSt stay within
the empire whether or not 1t wishes
to do so. Said he: "Only on a basis
of our recognition ds an Irish repub-
lie will we deal with any nation or
foreign country whatever. The only
government the people of Ireland rec
ognize is the ministry of the Dali
Eireann.

ernm-nt, declaring it was practically
Impossible to negotiate with 1t be-
cause of it's lack of principle" and
cited the many Inconsistencies" of

his speech, expressed and implied,
seemed to leave the way open for
further negotiations.

offer was the utmost the British gov
ernment could make, II is just possible

irish principle of independence. Dub

The League of Nations council Will
meet in Geneva probably on August y
to consider the Silesian problem, and
Premier BRAND is quoted ns saying 1t
undoubtedly will be able to settle the
disputed questions conformably with
the terms and spirit of the peace
treaty. Its labors may be lightened
by the present attitude of the Ger
man Industrial and political leaders
and the Polish labor representatives
in upper Slesia. They have held
secret conference in Kattowitz and
pledged cooperation In the interest of
their common motherland." 1t was
believed they would petition the
league council to settle the Silesian
trouble promptly by giving Upper
Silesin all to Poland or all to Ger
many. All the conferees were op-
posed to the further use of force.
Germans and Polish irregular troops
had fight near the villages OF
Sternalitz and Kostellltz, and the Ger
mans killed "a Poles and drove the
rest across the frontier.
