g OAKLAND SIX CYLINDER SPORT CAR

The new Oakland 6-44 models which
were shown for the first time at the
New York show are decidedly different.
The five models which have had their
first public showing have distinctly
new body lines. A higher radiator. hood
and cowl, together with noticeable
body refinenents. give smartness and
an appearance of power that must i'm
press even the casual observer.
- These new body lines Of the Oakland
6.44 models are indicative of the
numerous improvements which have
also been incorporated in engine and
chassis construction improvements
particularly designed to increase both
pride in ownership and driver salts
faction.
The Oakland G-4f engine is of the
six cyfinder overhead valve type. noted
for its constant power and reliability.
and it possesses many refinements and
improvements. Improved pistons and
piston rings have been added and the
cylinders are specially honed to in
silent chain drive has been made
standard at the front Of the motor,
insuring freedom from noise and ex-
cessive vibration at all road speeds.
Engine changes are along the lines Of
the most recently approved engineer
ing design and the 6-44 is fitted with
an unusually reliable power plant, with
flexibility and quick pickup. Proof
of the confidence which Oakland en-
giners have in this improved engine
construction is indicated BY the special
Oakland $4,000 mile guarantee which
goes with every GA model.

standard. Nickel plating is used op

pearsnce. Oakland is continuing the

Statistics just published by the Class
journal company covering percentage
of closed cars produced in the United
State since 1915 show that the closed
car has grown in favor very rapidly
within the last three years.
Closed cars represented 1.5 per cent
of total production in 1915. There
was no change in 1916, but for the sue-
cecdins years. 1917. 1918, 1919 1920

six closed types. with range in
price which appeals to all classes Of
motorists.
The closed models are all equipped
with Fisher bodies built on the
Buick chassis. and are notable ex-
amples Of the most expert designer
of coach work. In designing the
closed cars comfort as well as at
tractlveness has been considered by
the Buick engineers. The interior
finish reflects the ingenuity and
skill of the designers, the upholstery
being serviceable and in harmony
with the rest Of the car. All the
little accessories which are essential
TO the comfort and convenience of
the driver and passengers are part
of the regular equipment.
In the six-cylinder models the
sumptuous and stylish seven pas

The first ia to see :he Colo rado River developed to the highes. possible stage. and the second is that he may some day have time to visit Tombstone and spend several hours just roaming around the cid camp. Maxwell arrived in Bisbes last night. his first visit to the city in IS years. But he has not been in Tomb stone since 1885.
 Tombstone was regular ril.ruar- ing camp when l left there in s." said Maxwell last night '.And l en- joyed my stay there more. think, than I have enjoyed any othe: visit since. "I came to Tombstone from San Francisco to do court reporting. All my life Id wanted to see the ~ild west And I certainly saw plenty of it in Tombstone. washouts delayed us at Benson and we stayed there overnight. The next morning we started by stage for Tombstone. On the previous day the stage had been held up and one passenger killed. And that incident convinced me that I was at last in the wild and woody west.
 Snow fell throughout my first night in Tombstone The following morning I awakened just in time to see man crawling out from under bank of snow that had been piled up against the house. He had appar. ently imbibed too much the previous evening and had fallen asleep on the ground When the sun started to melt his snowy blanket in the morn ing he simply dug his way out like gopher And he seemed in a good lhumor. That was another thing that convinced me that l was at last ir the real west.
 And another thing I always thinl of when my thoughts go back tc Tombstone is a sign in one of the ga looms that read: Positively no mines taken in exchange for drinks"
 Maxwell said he noticed remarka ble changes in Bisbee. q
 I'm glad of one thing he said and that is that the main stree still winds up the canyon. just as i used to.

 Today. M. c. Hankins. for the past five months clerk of the board of su- pervisurs and former postmaster of Douglas, announced his candidacy for the ofYice of County Treasurer. sub jsc, to the p.mocratic primaries.
 While he has been contemplating entering the race for the office for some time. S;r. Hankins did not make his announcement public until today.
 Before coming to Tombstone to ac- eept the impo.t .tant office of clerk of the board of $. pervisors Mir. Hankins served four years as postmaster of the city of Jo@2ias. under Democratic administrator. until he was removed last year Wen unfair charges had been brought against him, which aroused the indignation of not only Democrats of the county. but leading Republicans as well, who protested to the Republican leaders at Washing ton on the tactics used.
 Satisfied that he had been vindicat- ed in the eyes of the public. Mir Hankins allowed the matter to drop, shortly afterward coming to Tomb stone to go into the supervisors of flee. Since coming here he decided to enter the race for the treasurer's office. to succeed Guy C. Weich. pres ent county treasurer, whose term of office expires this year. al the end of his second term. which makes him ineligible for reelection.
 In making his announcement today MT Hankins declared that he will enter the race on his record as a Democrat during the years he has re- sided in Cochise county and served as public official. and will not make an active campaign, other than wis it here and there during the cam paign. owing 10 the fact that the work of his office during election time will keep him at home. since all election supplies. ballots, and ar engagements for holding of election in the 60 precincts of the county must be accomplished from the supervis- ors office during the last few days be- fore election. which is a task that must be done without error and needs the personal attention of the entire force of the supervisors office.
 He will endeavor to meet person ally as many of the voters as possi- ble. however. Mir Hankins stated to- day, between now and election day, and if his record as an ofice man. which are the qualifications requisite of a county treasurer. does not speak for itself for the support of the voters at the primary, he will have no other platform to offer.
