A Ford on Snowshoes Makes
Its Appearance.


A Ford on snowshoes, known as a
Snowmobile, made its appearance on
the streets of the city Thursday.
The Snowmobile is designed to
solve the problem of winter travel in
snow countries. 1t is a Ford car
equipped with an attachment which
makes it possible, say the manu-
facturers, to run at an average speed
of is miles an hour over snow
covered roads that would otherwis .
be impossible. The depth of snow
matters little, the Snowmobile passes
over the top and not through it.
The Snowmobile is distributed
through Ford dealers, the Norman
Auto company having the local
agency. 1t can be attached to any
Ford car. Runners replace the
front wheels and an extra set of
wheels and a traction belt are at
tached to the rear. The rear end is
of a special type worm drive.
The Norman company has had the
Snowmobile ready to go for several
weeks, but not until Thursday was
there enough snow to give it try
out

No Green Christmas Here; Winter
Now on the Job.

Christmas in and around Hurley
was not exactly green there being a
smattering of snow, barely enough
to cover the ground
However, in many other parts of
the northwest where it is rarity
to not have snow at Christmas time,
the day passed amidst green sur
roundings. AT Ashland Chequame-
gon Bay was wide open and free
from ice, this being the second time
in the history of the port that this
has occurred. Duluth and Superior
had a green Christmas.
But there is evidence that Winter
has now started in earnest and once
started it will probably travel true to
form. Snow that started falling
Wednesday night continued almost
steadily all day Thursday and
yesterday several inches covered the
ground. The snowfall was &C
companied by winds and nip that
has been lacking so far, evidence
that Old Man Winter has not fallen
down on the job altogether.
