NASH COMPANY
TAKES CENSUS
OF AU j
Repairing and Rebuilding Is
Important Part Of Firms
Work

A recent automobile census con-
Quoted in Grand Forks under the di-
rection Of c.. II. Hurst, of the Grand
Forks Nash company, revealed in
formation highly satisfactory to Mr..
Hurst. "A number OF university stu
dents were put into the field and
gathered data on the automobiles
owned, prospective purchasers, kind
of cars preferred, and whether cash,
credit or exchange would be sought.
The Grand Forks Nash company
handles a full line of automobiles and
trucks, the former ranging in price
from 1865 to $500. tires Of all lead
ing makes, and a big stock OF parts
for q number Of other makes of cars
as well as the Nash.
A twenty-four hour repair and stbr-
age service is maintained. The stor-
age space will accommodate about
100 cars and is, filled to capacity at
tho present time.
The repairing and rebuilding work
Of the Grand Forks Nash company
constitutes an important and growing
part of it's activities. Damaged bodies
of various makes OF cars are rebuilt
and entirely. new ioncs of various de.
! signs constructed. One type of tor
that is proving popular is the Cali.
fornia, especially to motorists witt
open cars. The top and body depart.

Local Motor Company Has

Auto owners are waiting the ar

Co, corner of University avenue and

Mr. Wallace Henry said yesterday that
a consignment, of the new Paige cars
was on the way and that along with
the light six he would have "a sedan
which will sell. at 1895 f. o. b. De-

The Paige car has recently been ac-

the company now handling three we'll
known cars.
A direct branch Of the Grand Forks
agency is operated at Devils Lake, the
garage there having 10 800 feet Of
floor space. Mr.. Henry stated hat an
addition would be built this spring
which would give the place there $500
more feet of space, making it the
largest garage in-the state in a city
of 5000.

TIRE INDUSTRY
IS MAKING Big
STRIDES AHEAD
seventy-four Types and
Sizes Discarded In Three
!, Years

a.-. r -r..-. ~. ra.rt#.. .-
I Within the past thre years, among
styles, types and sizes, of tires have
been discarded. This, in Il large
measure, is responsible for tOday's
present low prices. 1t. means Concen-
trating production and development
upon but sixteen tire styles.
lin the old days a pioneer Cleveland
automobile maker felt the need for q
pneumatic tire to replace the solid
tires then used. He appealed to the
rubber manufacturers and was told
the idea was not a practical one and
wouldn't work.
Nobody wanted to try itr.
Finally one rubber manufacturer
told him that he would try to make
"a few tires, but the automobile max
! err would have to pay for all of the
equipment necessary to make them.
The first set of tires must have cost
no less than several hundred dollars
EACH
These first tires were fabric tires,
built upon the same principle as the
bicycle tire, hence the smooth tread.
They only an few miles. but they
taught their makers how to build
tires. It was not until some years
later that other types. were brought
OUl. (tllt'IHiblS ."SEe IlIVS " DuiIN
non-skid tires but tho carcass of the
tire seldom lasted long. although they
did give better traction. This taught
tire makers that the non-siid tire was
Impractical and the, turned to it's de-
velopmcnt.
Meanwhile tho cord tire was intro
duced and wit" it as q distinctive
feature, the ribbed tread made Its
appearance. This type Of tread made
tires wear a little longer but 'furn-
ished no protection against skiddins
1t is not surprising then, that the
ribbed tread is now discarded by the
larger manufacturers and the public
is not only accepting but demanding
non-skid tires for all four wheels,
whereas they were formerly thought
necessary only on the rear ones.
These three types of tread, smooth.
ribbed and non-skid. prolonged the
development Of the tire of today.
Each type required a different CON
life. The threads point Of contact
with the road made it necessary to
build Il somewhat different carcass
for the ribbed thread. than for the
smooth thread. for with the former
the strain rested largely around a
marrow strip on the tcircumference
of the tire. With the smooth thread
the load was more widely distributed.
But now the non-skid has almost
\ totally replaced all othcr types. The
perfected non-skid tire OF today is a
combination Of all other types since
ii not only gives greater mileage than
! all Of it's predecessors but ise an ef-
feetive guard against skiddins.
This has resulted in a certain
economy for a owners who keep
their tires in good condition. They
now carry but one spare. Il non-skid
cord, for they no longer need two
types OF threads in spare tires.
Today is the day Of the cord tire
While this tyne Of tire gave as much
as ten times the mileage Of the early
tires, manufacturers. however. still
continue toward higher development

REGISTRATION !.

ION January 1, 1921. data compiled
from all states of the Union showed
the country's total automobile and
truck registration 10 be S,932,45S.
This figure represented a gain owe
the preceding years registration of

II IL per cent.
1t is also Of equal, if not greater,
interest to learn that auto and truck
In 1921 has approxinated
100000 which co~nservative!y will
place the country's complete registra-
ton at 100000 passenger cars and
trucks for 1922.
While this makes allowance for y
discard Of only ,632,d5S cars and
trucks for the year 1891 which ordin-
arily would be larger, il is thought
this figure nearly represents the elm

Back in '61 had there been broad.
smooth highway that ran from the
gulf to the lakes and if the man who
lived in South Carolina could step in
his lizzie and turn, on the gas and
cruise away to Vermont and find out
that the people there were of his own

anad peaceful and orderly govern
ment, this country would never have
been rem by a great civil war.
And I will 20 further than that.
From my own knowledge at the front

will be the same as spending the
money for insurance of the crops and
we will be collecting the insurance
to some extent about once in five
years.
The governor said that when the
thirty canal companies signed up for
storage rights in the American Falls
reservoir a couple of years ago the
reclamation department was so i'm
pressed with their sincerity and abil-
ity to go on with it that the reclama-
ton department subscribed for 50O,-
900 acre feet to be used on 100000
acres in the Minidoka project and
went to buying rights and making
preliminary arrangements until they
had used up all the money that was
paid in and all of their own share Of
the second installment and some be-
sides and that only one of the thirty
canals had paid it's second INSTALL
ment of 50 per acre. The govern
ment had done more than it had

the canal companies had done less
than they agreed to do, almost moth

ing, owing of course to the financial
stingency. The government has
definitely decided that if the settlers
were not interested and the canals
do not make their second payment
the government will lose what it has
done and suspend operation entirely
on the project. The governor pre-
diets that if such suspension is made
this generation will not be able to
revive it.
State Engineer Talks
Warren G. Swendsen, former
Blackfoot man and now state en-
gineer, explained the position of the
state government in this matter and
said that being an official he cannot
recommend that the water be stored
in any particular place, but can only
recommend the feasibility Of any
storage project that is under discus
sion; the first to build the storage
reservoir will have the right to COM
mand the water. The American Falls
site is the best, but that there are
others, and if the water is appro-
priated and put to beneficial use by
people on Bruneau project of south
western Idaho it will belong to them
and the settlers in the upper valleys

water in the American Falls reser-
voir will be about So per acre for a
certain capacity, but the dam is made
higher to increase the capacity and
store water on the higher levels.
Where the area is greater the cost
for the last part of the reservoir
went as low as 50 per acre. The
average cost if it was built to two
thirds it's capacity would be about So
per acre for everybody, but If it is
built to its full capacity the cost per
acre will be lowered. When the
reservoir is built and tested for two
years the principal cost will have
been fixed and it will take very little
expense for maintenance and will be
worth as much each year as the first
year. 1t is estimated that we lose in
the Snake river valley every five
years enough on crops to equal the
cost of the reservoir and that we will
