being connected with a three-eighths-
inch cylinder, the piston working
against a coil spring. This piston is

over rolling paper. The paper rolls
are operated by a connection with the
truck transmission, enabling the oper-
ator to determine the relation of the

Fight for Better Highways. Says
Illinois Official.

How Cook county and Illinois got
their start in good roads and what is

Organized motorists of Illinois must
keep up the fight for good roads" said

bond issue that guaranteed improved
hard-surfaced highways for the state"
Mr.. Paulman proceeded to give much
of the credit to William Busse, who
was ~eulogized by other speakers.

LEFTHANDEO ISSUE IN
CALIFORNIA MURDER

Whether Harry Bafatti, who was
shot and killed recently at San Fran
cisco, was left or right handed is the
question to be determined in the trial
of his widow, Mrs. Grace Baratti, for
his murder. This is of interest in
Ely by reason of the Coserly murder
verdict having hinged to a certain
extent on that and correlated points.
The Baratti woman claims her
husband was in al adjoining Der

New Tire Aduonce

Tire prices may advance at any
time, but did not do so during the
week. The manufacturers have
wired the local dealers predicting
such an advance, but did not say
when or how much it would be.
One dealer advised a White Pine
News representative that a further
advance would be inevitable as a
result of the advances of both cotton
and rubber, which are out of pro-
portion with tires already. he said.
Another factor that will have a
bearing on the price of tires is the
building of an mormon number of
cars by the factories Of the country.
A stock market report received at
this Office upon that point says:
Automobile production in the
United States in January exceeded
that of any other month since last
August, the usual month of peak
production, and the reports of
both production and sales made
since January 1 indicate that 1923
will be the most prosperous year in
