STUDEBAKER IS
YOSEMIT E
WINNER
First for Third Year in Race to
Enter ValIey-SpeciaI
Follows Big Six.

For the third year in succession
the honor Of being first to enter
the Yosemite Valley has been won
by Studebaker. One hour after the
bells and whistles of the cities usl-
cred in the New Year, the honors
were conferred on a studebaker Blk
Six at the office Of the chief ranger
in Yosemite Village.
Details Of the thrilling dash from
the Pacific coast over the snow
covered Sierras have Just been re-
ceived here, and report the fact
that the second car Of the year to
reach the valley also was a Stude-
baker which followed close upon the
winner. Both cars smashed all
previous records, making the run
in two days, whereas the time re-
quired in the past ranged from
three days to several weeks.
It was l a. m. January 1. when
II. M. Gregory and w. L. Stock
at the office Of Chief Ranger For
rest s. Townsley in Yosemite vii
lage. In behalf of the Studebaker
Big Six outside, they sought the
initial permit Of the year awarded
to the car that first enters the
valley under its own power over
any Of the roads from the coast.
Hardly had the coveted document
been handed over when William J.
Silva, Of Modesto, Cal, and his
party drove up in another Stude-
baker, Special Six touring car,
and also requested a permit. He
was given the second one Of the
year.
The San Francisco party left on
the evening of December 80 in their
Studebaker Big Six and were Joined
a few hours later at Modesto by the
Special Six. crew. After a short
stop at Modesto the two cars raced
for the Coultersville road.
While it was necessary to buck
several miles of snow at MERGED
Grove, the deep snow which afford
ed most serious obstacle to the
progress Of the cars was not en-
countered until within twenty-one
miles Of the Yosemite Valley. Here
the snow averaged three and one
half feet in depth. This point was
reached at 3 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. and after three hours rest the
cars started on the last and most
difficult leg Of their journey.
No sleds or tackle Of any descrip-
ton were used and the cars bat
tered their way through the snow
under the own power. The method
followed was to open the throttle
to it's limit and buck into the snow
until progress was stopped. Then
1t was a case Of backing away and
charging into the snow like a bat
tering ram. This performance was
repeated time after time. hour after
hour, until the valley was reached,
the cars being forced to show ire
mendous power and stamina in bat
Ting their way through the drifts.

Testing the Mixture.

If the mixture is suspected of be-
ing too rich, shut off the fuel in
the tank and open the throttle. If
the mixture passing into the cy-
finders is too rich, the engine speed
will increase as the level of the gaso-
line in the float chamber is lowered,
since the operation weakens the
mixture considerably. If the mix
ture is thought to be too weak, the
float chamber can be flooded while
the engine is running, and If this
causes the motor to speed up, it
may be accepted as an indication
that the mixture is not rich enough.

LEON LIOTARD MUST
STAND COURT TRIAL

According to a supreme court rul-
ing yesterday Leon Liotard of Win
nemucca must stand trial on the
charge preferred against him follow
ing the death of Miss Eula Hollo-
way, who was mortally injured when
the automobile owned by Liotard
backed and crushed her against a
brick wall, according to the Carson
News.
Kritz, who was driving the ma
chine, is now serving term in the
state prison for driving while in
toxicated. Liotard, who is awaiting
trial. applied for a writ of habeas
corpus, showing that he was not at
the wheel when the fatal accident
occurred, and that there was no in
tent on his part to harm or injure.
The court ruled that intent is not
in the statute covering the prosecu-
ton. The petition for the writ of
habeas corpus was dismissed, and
Liotard ordered remanded to the
custody of the Humboldt officials.
The statute on which the prose-
cution is based is Sec. 3, Chap. 10,
Laws of 1923, providing:
ANY person or persons, while in
toxicated or under the influence of
Intoxicating liquor, who drives or
operates vehicle of any kind, and
who by reason of such intoxication
or condition hereinfore stated, does
any act or neglects any duty now
or hereafter imposed by law, which
act or neglect of duty causes the
death of, bodily injury to, any per-
son, shall be punished as fer a
felony"
1t is contended that although Lio-
tard was not actually driving the
car he was present and connected
with the operation of his own ma
chine.

PONY EXPRESS To
ARRIVE ABOUT 10
Tomorrow Morning Is Stated a.
Time When Riders Will Arrive;
Whistle to Blow When
They Leave Golconda

While a telegram dispatched by
The Silver State to the Elko Inde-
pendent, asking for a press story
concerning the pony express race,
failed to bring an answer, due it
was learned at press time to the
fact that today is a holiday in Elko
while everyone there attends the
Wells fair, other information reach
ing this city is that the riders may
be expected to arrive here at about
10 o'clock tomorrow morning. That
residents may see them go through
permission has been granted to have
the fire whistle blown once when
the riders leave Golconda SO that
Winnemuccans may gather around
the liberty flag pole at Third and
Bridge street to watch the change
from a cowpony to the relay mule
before the dash to Lovelock is con-
tinued.
A report gained circulation up
and down the route to be traversed,
along the Victory highway, that the
riders had made up "a hours in
running time and had left Elko at
8:l5 this morning. This has been
proven incorrect, but it was enough
to start Don Cooper, who is in
charge of horses and riders between
Battle Mountain and Lovelock, to
hurry to Battle Mountain. He has
with him Shorty Hopkins and AL
Holt, acknowledged to be two of
this county's best riders, and has
promised to break all records in his
nearly 140 mile run to Lovelock
1t is the plan to ride each horse ten
miles, the riders alternating, being
carried to the next relay post by au-
tomobile.
So far the pony express riders
are three-quarters Of a mile ahead
of any previous record, having av-
eraged 12 miles an hour where the
best previous record was 11A miles
an hour. A report, truthful or
otherwise, is that the management
OF the race, seeing that the riders
were running ahead of schedule, or
dered the race held up at Montello
so that San Francisco could not be
reached prior to the time set for
the opening of a celebration there.
Remember, Cooper has promised
that he will run from Winnemucca
to Lovelock in four hours, a dis
tance of "a miles, or an average of
better than 18 miles an hour. So
at this rate it should take him about
an hour to come from Golconda.
II the whistle blows at 9 o'clock,
for instance, it will mean that the
riders will come through at about
10 o'clock.

agent, and referred to the club for
perusal:

dren and their children's children.
The town needs it. Look at other

Rubbish Caused Fire Alarm

The combination of burning rub
bish and weeds on the vacant lot
beside the Hotel Humboldt resulted
in an alarm of fire being turned in
at 1915 o'clock this morning, the
firemen thus getting another oppor-
tunity to display their speed in get
ting water through fire hose. The
fire was not serious or even par
ticularly dangerous, but because of
the profusion of weeds and close
proximity Of wooden sheds it was
not deemed advisable to take any
chances of the fire spreading to the
hotel.
