name of Prickly Pear creek In Lew

to conform to the original names

nounced.
Characterizing the present names
of the two creeks as historical blund-

creek was named Pryor creek, in hon.
or of Sergeant Nathaniel Pryor, a
member of the Lewis and Clark ex-

Shoshone Indian woman who trav-

and interpreter.

Sarkargahwea was captured from
the Shoshone or Snake tribe at Three
Forks in a raid by the Mandan In
dams and sold to Charbonneau. a
French trader. She was asked to
act as interpreter, because of desire
by Clark to return her to the Sho-

tablish friendly relations with the
Shoshones. On arrival in the Sho-

The deceased was born in Erens

lar way. The satin wax finish which
is rubbed on over the paint is i'm
proved by rubbing or polishing, so
that as the cars are used they attain
an even smoother gloss. The finish is
not easily scratched, does not check
and is not affected by sun or rain.
Another feature of interest to own
ers is the fact that if the body is
marred or denied in any way, all that
is necessary after. the dent is bumped
out" is to have the Oakland dealer
spray with a special paint gun, just
the spot that has been marred. The
paint blends together without leaving
trace of where the damaged spot APP
peared. This is impossible on a warn
ish finished job as it is usually nee
essary to repaint and varnish whole
panel or section of the car.
The ease and rapidity with which
this finish may be cleaned has not
only been demonstrated by the True
Blue Travellers, but also at many of
the fall fairs in the east, where these
models have been subjected to literal
mud-slinging all day to prove that the
mud is easily removed with dry
cloth and that it does not harm the
finish in any way.

Ships Enter EIarbor
To Be DisTnantled

Oakland, Cal.-To the dirge of a
chorus of steam whistles, two Ameri-
can battleships, the Nebraska and the
Vermont, arrived here recently from
their last voyage, a sail of 25 miles
from the Mare Island navy yard
They are the largest vessels ever to
enter the inner harbor here.
They are consigned to the scrap
heap. 1t will require year and a
payroll of about $1,O00,00O to disman-
tie them. The scrap metal from the
men-of-war will be sent to eastern
steel works.
The Nebraska, with length of 435
feet and displacement of 1898 tons,
was a training ship during the world
war. The Vermont, 450 feet long, with
tonnage of 10000, was in company
with the Nebraska on the cruise
around the world in 1908. The Yer

One of the Fastest
Long Runs Ever Made

Speak Of the gold rush of '49 and
you conjure up pictures of the roman
tic trip across the plains or of the
desperate trip around the Horn. Gold
fever surged deep IN the in'ards of the
men of that time, but today the urge
for wealth and romance, coupled with
an element of chance, takes the form
of seeking after liquid gold-oil!
Thomas Turner and E. S. Wagner
were pals for years in Fargo, North
Dakota. One day Mr.. Turner left
Fargo for Los Angeles, California,
where he got into the oil game"
Finding the field big he advised his
friend to get into the oil industry
himself. Mr.. Wagner Joined forces
with his pal and awaited anxiously in
Fargo the outcome of the endeavor.
Then they struck oil. 1t took Mr..
Turner more than fifty words to tell
his pal the news, the gist of which was
to drop everything, grab an automo-
bile and come to California immedi-
ately. The very next day, Mr.. Wagner
bought the car of his choice-a Paige
$40 and started out with a driver on
what was to be a great test of speed
and endurance.
The first day. driving the brand new
car, they made 525 miles. The next
three days, crossing the Rocky Noun
tains, they made 396 miles, 800 miles
and 41O miles, respectively
mountain trails, up and down steep
inclines, around numerous sharp
bends. This was followed by day and
night of steady driving in which time
a stretch of Gle miles was covered,
A few hours of sleep and the big
Paige was again eating up the miles,
to continue the steady grind until
noon the next day. A rest of but one
hour and the car hit the road again
with its passengers. At six, the next
day, they arrived in Los Angeles after
a long stretch of 848 miles.
The total driving time for the jour-
ney of 3,103 miles was but eighty-six
hours with the elapsed time less than
double that. The total expenses were
but 1888 for both men and the car.
The average speed was SO miles an
hour with fifteen miles to the gallon
of gasoline.

OLD SOL Is FOR

State Treasurer Levitan
Declares fOrSAdjusted
Compensation.
RAPS MELLON BILL
By Associated Press

by ASSOcIHIeQ FTeSS
Madison, Wis.-Adjusted compensa-
tion for former service men which
will adequately repay them for their
services during the world war was
advocated by State Treasurer Solomon
Levitan speaking here tonight before
a conference of American Legion
LEADERS. Treasurer Levitan voiced
strong opposition to the tax reduction
plan brought forth by Secretary of
Treasury Mellen, declaring it to be
political trick"
"The soldiers bonus is not a matter
for selfish consideration in terms of
dollars and cents, but it is sacred
duty to which the nation is pledged"
Mr.. Levitan declared. ''No bonus
proposition that has yet been adj
vanced can adequately compensate the
men who went to war for US.
Not Reward for Service.
Former service men are not asking
for a reward for patriotic service.
No one would insult them by offering
that. The proposal is merely to give
them an adjusted compensation to pay
them for two of the best years of their
lives which they spent in service.
at is not the rank and file of our
people who ARE objecting to the
bonus. 1t is big business and the
selfish interests that are trying to
discredit and adjusted compensation
proposal. The ones who made mill
lions during the war are now trying
by propaganda to defeat the measure
which may take from them a small
part of their profits.
Secretary Mellon says that we
cannot have reduction of taxes and
soldiers bonus too. At the same
time, he offers a tax bill with it's
specifically attractive schedule of
tax reduction. Mr. Melons move is
nothing more than a political trick.
Some of the tax experts should have
in mind what has happened to those
who put over the Tea Pot Dome
transactions"
Raps the Mellon Plan.
Mr. Levitan declared that the Mel
Ion tax reduction plan would not

"these reductions will cut millions
from the tax bills of the rich who are
most able to pay" He said further
that Secretary Mellon predicted the
government would face a deficit of
$650,000,000 last June so and that
instead there was surplus of over
$3O0,000,000.
