NEW PONTIAC COMING

A Pontiac six, new in practically
everything but name, shortly will
appear on the market, it was an
nounced today by the Oakland Motor
Car Company.
A bigger, smarter, more powerful
and more luxurious Pontiac, bring
ing big car features within the price
range of the small six, was promis-
ed by the Oakland Company.
This announcement comes near
the close of the most successful year
in the company's history with an
estimated total output for 1928 of
close to 100000 units, forty per cent
above 1927.
In preparation for 1929, extensive
building projects under way for
sometime past now are practically
completed and will give the Oakland
Pontiac plant a capacity next year in
excess of 100000 cars.
Production of parts for the new
car is now under way at the com
pany plant, said to be the most mod
ern and best equipped in the indus
try. The new Pontiac six will be
built almost entirely in factories ow-
ned by the Oakland Motor Car Com
pany and the Fisher body plant at
Pontiac, because the opening of new
production units will enable Oakland
in 1929 to build parts formerly man
ufactured elsewhere.
Keen interest in the new Pontiac /,
six was evidenced in automobile |
circles here and at Detroit because
the Pontiac, first introduced in 1926,
has since consistently shattered all
previous sales records for a new
make of car.
While embodying car features and |
performance, the new Pontiac six
will remain within the price range
Of the smaller six, according to the
announcement issued today. Nation
Il shOwings will be held around the
irst of the coming year.

vass of the vote in William county
reveals the fact that two of the sew
en- candidates for the nomination of
sheriff are tied for second place. Carl
Erickson and D. c. Polling having 923
votes each.
On unofficial returns Erickson had
928 votes, lead of five over Polling.
but the canvassing board found in one
precinct returns an error that set the
Spring Brook man back five votes.
This was the only change made bv
the canvass.
Mr.. Erickson, who was sheriff of
the county several years ago, has not
been in the city since the canvass was
made and it is not known what ar
rangements he will desire to make to
settle question as to which shall go
on the ballot, but Polling, who has
been deputy sheriff for four years, is
willing to have the toss of coin de-
eide the matter.
o, N. Lee, the league indorsee for
the sheriff's office, led the field of
seven candidates, having 1 ,423 votes.
The others. who are definitely elm
mated are E. o. Sundby, l. ]. Moses,

They had very little food and what
he got was rather unappetizing. Thev

rescued, however.
All Have Fever
Lieutenant Lundborg asserted all
the survivors were suffering from
fever and most of them showed signs
of mental alteration. Giuseppi Bio

from fever for the last two DAYS be-

Farmers May Establish
Creamery at Williston

Williston, N. D., July 12.-The di-
rectors of the Farmers Union Pro-
duce association are considering the
establishment of a cooperative cream
cry at Williston and if sufficient
stock is subscribed by the farmers of
the territory tributary to the city to
insure ample working capital, it is
probable that the produce association
will be merged with the creamery or
ganization.
The report for Iuhs shows the
handling of N16,449 pounds of butter
fat during June at profit to the
association of $917.70.
The present privately owned cream
cry will in all probability be leased
if the company is formed and an eff
fort will be made to enlarge its zone
of business so as to take in cream
from northeastern Montana and Nc
Kenzie county.
