The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1921-03-03

Towards the close of 1866 Holla-
day sold out to Walls, Fargo & Com
pany. In May, 1869, the Union and
Central Pacific railway was COM
pIeted and the overland stage was a
relic of the past.
Having considered the trans-con-
tinental traffic system we shall now
turn our attention to that of Mon
tana.
Immediately after the settlement
of Alder Gulch, a stage line was
established by A. j. Oliver between
Bannack and Salt Lake City. Not
long thereafter, there was a stage
coach service connecting the leading
camps of the territory. The Mon
tana Post of Saturday, January 20,
1856, published at Virginia City, con-
tains a most interesting table of
stage departures. 1t says that
Smiths stage leaves for Gallatin
every Monday; divers to Helena,
Monday, Wednesday and Friday, fare
$25. The overland stage for the east
leaves Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday, fare to Salt Lake, SIS
in bankable dust.
The stage coach travel In Montana
differed little from the overland traf-
fic. 1t was precarious, uncertain and
dangerous. The drivers were often
drunken and reckless, the roads over
mountain grades were unsafe, Indi-
ans lurked in the canyons, and far
worse than the Indians were the road
agents.
The stage stations were c%onspicu-
Gus for the lack of accommodations
DIRTY Woman's Ranch" was the
vu1garly descriptive name of one
stopping place of early days. An
anecdote illustrative of the operating
conditions is told of the late Col. w.
f. Sanders.
On one of his political campaigns
he stopped fatigued and hungry at
a typical mountain station. Noticing
that he did not seem to relish the
meal set before him, the proprietor
said:

In the autumn of 1861 compile
ton of the telegraph ended the use
fulness of the pony express. Never
before or since had mail been carried
so fast, so far, and so long merely
by horse power" But the cayuse of
the plains was not matched for cleo
tricity and the day of the express
was done. 1t had been ar immeasur-
able factor in holding together the
bond of sympathy between widely
distant communities and this had
been national in its Importance. I'm
fortunately, however, the income was
in no wise commensurate with the
expenditures and the rashly splendid
venture brought ruin to Russell, the
man who had conceived it, and to
the firm to which he belonged.
The great figures in the overland
stage are Butterfield, Russell, Majors
and Waddell and Ben Holiday. Dur
ing the last years of the stage traf-
fic the business became more %precari-
Gus. Indian troubles consequent up
on the building of the railroads made
travel dangerous. New concerns
started in opposition and the old
firms had many powerful enemies.
Captain James L. Fiske with his
famous emigrant train had blazed a
new way from Minnesota to Montana
and he, upon his return to the east
over the stage line of Ben Holiday,
denounced that line of travel in un-
equivocal terms. Henry Willard was
also a hostile critic. Nevertheless the
old stage coach magnate was a re-
markable man. E. P. Paxson says of
him:
Under Holidays control the pas
senger and express service were
developed into what was probably
the greatest one-man institution in
America. He directed not only the
central overland, but spur lines with
government contracts to upper Cali
fornia, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.
He travelled up and down the line
constantly himself, attending in per-
son to business in Washington and on
the Pacific"

The comfort of the passengers was
a matter of small concern compared

M0tupU y Chalmers
Pressed Steel PNnt
4 Production Boon

The completion Of the new MAXWELL
Chalmers pressed steel plant. which is
now about ready for manufacturing &C
tivity. gives that concern n of the
most efficient and progressive outfits Of
its kind III the country, says W. Led
yard Mitchell, president Of the Maxwell
and the Chalmers companies.
The new plant covers about PIT 600
square feet of floor space and will take
care Of all the pressed steel work for
both Maxwell and Chalmers cars" says
Mr.. Mitchell.
"The main building contains two
craneways, each with "a double row Of
presses 800 feet long. and each equipped
8 crane which is capable of picking UP
material, work, or even the presses
themselves, and moving them 10 any
other part OF the building.
"The presses are so placed that the
steel passes from one to another with
out the need OF extra men to act as
go-betweens. thus cutting down the
time required as we'll as the number OF
men.
"Another feature Of the new plant is
the immeG.1te inspection Of work. In
stead OF making q large quantity Of
pieces in one place and then sending
them TO another part Of the factory for
inspection, they receive this inspection
during operations.
In layout and equipment advantage
has been taken Of the experience Of the
entire industry. Al the same time, va

other departments and BUILDINGS. so

it is completely disassembled and all
the parts thoroughly cleansed with
gasoline. There follows an exhaustive
inspection, following closely the report
OF the log. All questioned parts. or
parts that seem as if they might be-
come defective, are replaced, the in
spcction is completed and the entire
process Of painstaking assembling is re-
peated.
The reassemblcd engine is again
placed on the dynamometcr blocks and
put through its PAGES for two hours.
Another comprehensive report is made.
Ia This manner, before the engine
reaches the chassis. it is subjected to
two rigid examinations, with a com
picte tear down, inspection and rebuild.
Once in the chassis the engine gets
its final grind. A skilled mechanic and
expert driver takes the car il hand, adj
lusts valves and %carburetor and takes
the car on a fitty-mile test run. The
tester checks up on every conceivable
point, and the chassis receives final sd-
lustmcnts on the basis Of his report.
Inc chassis receives its fourth body
coat, IS tested for another fifteen miles,
when the body and chassis are ready

subjected to another fvc-mile run.

The farmer has been quick to realize
that the automobile increased his eff

means of daily visits TO his neighbour
ing cities and forever dispelling the
isolation Of farm life by reason of its
strong appeal to the entire family as
a pleasurable enjoyment. enabling them
to visit their neighbors and rela-
tivcs whenever so disposed. 1t is no
uncommon occurrence now for neigh
bors. living twenty or thirty miles
apart to exchange evening and Sunday
visits-whcreas, in the old days of the
horse and buggy, three or four visits
a year were considered a rare treat
srd an occasion of more than passing
interest. Children living on farms
may now enjoy the advantages of the
city or consolidated schools. Some
member of the family, or one OF the
help, drives them to school in the
morning, returning later in the day
for the trip back homeland every
hody's time is conserved. What is
more important just now. the automo-
bile is accomplishing what about
everything else has failed to dot is
keeping the boys on the farms and
eliminating the desire for exodus to
the city.
Everybody wants and expects to
own an automobile some day-either
for business or pleasure. There is no
need for us to worry about whether it
is a necessity or a luxury. Regardless
Of what we say or do, or how VIC argue
or reason, the automobile Will answer

much comment last year. There is the

balanced connecting rods; dry multi
pie disk clutch.
To insure the most effective use Of
present day fuel, refnements and i'm
provements have been made in the
fuel system. A new hot ring has been
designed with an offset made In such q
manner that the -unvaporized fuel as it
leaves the ~carburetor strikes the top
wall of the ring. The fuel striking
thls hot wall with the impact that it
does is readily vaporizcd. However,
a good deal Of the fuel which follows
the manifold wells is in an unvaporized
FORM. NOSt OF TINS fucl runs down the
manifold walls to rings in the hot spot
and Is trapped there until vaporizcd.
Throughout the actual machining and
assembling Of parts OF the motor and
other major units rigid and severe
standards are maintained. Every ma
chine, tool, jig and fixture in the en-
tire plant is inspected every half hour.
Every part going into the engine goes
through an inspection after each oper-
alton.
After assembly the engine passes
through seven hours OF dynamometer
tests. For an hour the engine is turned
over by an electric motor at the rate of
700 revolutions per minute. Then it is
tired for five minutes idling at $50
=. p. M; then follows 4 run Of FIVE
hours and forty minutes, firing at $50
r. p. m, at five horsepower. This prac-
rically i~nsures a glazed surface for
cylinder walls and pistons. This run
is succeeded by SIX periods Of FIVE min
Utes each at varying speeds and horse
power TO 1850 =. D.. m. and 30 horse

Of seven hours and fifteen minutes is

Capitalizing high ideals is one of the
fundamentals of business that has not
failed even in hectic times. Those who

success, but in time they are sure to
hit their level. In the automobile bust
ness there is commercial value to do
ing the fair thing. First considera-

know that II is merltorious, that there
is no reason why YOU should not rec

Is secure. To make this product &C
ccptable to the most scrupulous. to
make it an homes. buy. the ideals of
the factory, OF course, must be of the
highest type.
Having sold an automobile which
You believe TO be the very best in its
class, the dealer IS confronted by the

that he is accorded courteous treat

1t Is necessary for the dealer to be
eminently fair, even generous in his
treatment Of his customers if he would

just what to give in the way Of serv-
