Republic Motor Truck Co. Inc, of
Alma, Michigan, announces its new
Model 10 Express, one-ton truck on
pneumatic tires. This Model is of
exceptional proportions, and particu-
larly attractive in appearance. 1t
fills a distinct need in the truck field
as it is not Of passenger car deriva-
ton, but built Of proven truck units
to meet the demand for a delivery
truck Of heavier construction, and
greater sturdiness, than the average
truck on its capacity, yet possessing
ample speed for city use and inter-
urban service.
Republic Model 10 Express is
equipped with Continental Red Seal
motor, and its transmission is pro-
vided with an unusually low gear
ratio in low speed, assuring ample
power fer starting loads under adj
verse conditions. The famous Repub-
lic-Torbensen internal gear drive
rear axle is used, the gear reduction
in the axle being designed so that
maximum truck speed is obtained
without racing the motor.
35 X 5 pnuematic cord tires,
front and rear, are standard equip
ment on this Model. The tires are
Of heavy truck type, their extra size

m Paris; and TO make love i'm a man

GOLD AND SILVER PRODUCTION

In 1920 our mining states, including
Alaska, Philippines and Porto Rico
produced 2,395,0 OF ounces gold worth
$49,509, 400 and 56,564,504 ounces sill
yer worth $57, ,420,325.
Compared with 1919 production
tnese figures indicate reduction in
gold output of $10,824000 and in
silver output of 117,941 ounces.
Silver is valued at $1O1513 per
ounce, being the average price based
on the New York market. By the
terms of the Pittman Act the domes-
tic silver produced and reduced in
the United Stats is saleable to the Di-
rector of the Mint at $1.00 per fine
ounce.
Gold figured at $40 an ounce is pro-
duced at loss. and largely sold un-
coined for industrial uses.
The McFadden bill, or some similar
law, is necessary to stimulate gold
production in our country if we re-
main on gold basis.

SIlETZ DELEGATION WANTS
SUSPENSION BRIDGE

A delegation of Siletz citizens was
in the city Wednesday to take up with
the County Court the matter of estab-
fishing a suspension bridge across
the Siletz river.
County Court was not in session,
but these gentlemen met with Judge
Fogarty and Commissioner Dunn. L.
G. Mowery acted as spokesman for
he delegation, and pointed out to the
members of the court that a suspen-
sion bridge could be built as cheap
as wooden bridge could
and that its life was much
longer, also the danger from damage
by flood was not nearly so great. A
suspension bridge could be built at
once while pier bridge could not be
built until summer.
The Siletz is large community
and a. present is entirely cut off from
communication with the rest of the
world, and food supplies will soon
run low.
The county officials proposed to
build a suspension foot bridge for the
present, and take up the matter of a
permanent structure at the first ses
sion Of Court.
