IIS I Ogden to Bear Lake and return bc-
H9 i'oro lunch time of the same day they
Mm lft Ocden is the achievement of U
MM L. Hajnfi'and W. A. Ross of the Ogden
HI - Motor Car company, piloting un I'-s-
H W 1 sex car In two successive trips, to test
the speed, endurance and reliability
H fl of Essex cars., which they handle in
H3 this territory-
HL The first trip was made the lan.ei
H part of last week and was in the 11a-
turc of a reconnoiterlng trip to map
H i out a .course for the real test of the
H ISssex in connection with the national
Essex week which is being observed
H by tDssex dealers and owners through-
out the United Scatos this week. Many
H similar test runs are being conducted
throughout the' country, but it is safe
to say that few will subject the car to
a greater strain than the trip made
H Trip In Rain.
H i Tho . second trip wa3 made in the
H rain yesterday and up to the time the
H meat were delayed helping the cur in
H front of them througn tne mud tho
H Essex was well ahead of tho time
HH schedule, planned after the first trip.
Ig. Logan, a. distance of 50 and 7-10
HM miles, was reached In one hour and
1 26 minutes. The same high average
speed was maintained up to the sum
Hi mit of Logan canyon, where the bssex
Hi was blocked by the other car stuck
( in the mud ahead of it. Had the Es-
sex been ablp to continue as it was
able the time card shows that the
men would have been back in Ogden
by 10:30 a. m.
The trip yesterday was a thorough
test of the Essex durability ana pow-
HH er as the mud had proved too much
H for many cars passed on the road,
HB the Essex, however, had no trouble
in going right througn without in-
Hl jury o any kin1 10 tne car' as al.
HI tested by mechanics after an exam in -
HI' ation. The men maicing the second
IL trip were W. A. Ross and C. II.
9 Jacobson driving, Captain J. R. Ward,
BH and B. N. Fox, all of whom vouch
Hl I for the dependability of the Essex af-
Hfl ter thie severe gruelling It went
Hl through yesterday.
1 On the preliminary trip when a
I time record was not tried tor, out a
fast .speed maintained throughout, the
car Jiiade the trip in 10 hours, leav
ing Ogden at 4:15 a. m with the
morning edition of- the Standard arid
delivering papers to1 subscribers in the
II 1 towns visited whloh Included Brlgham
H 1 City, Logan, Garden City, Ideal Beach
and Laketown and returning by way
i of the Danish Dugway and the Hard-
I ware Ranch, arriving back at the
1 Standard office -at 1:30' p. ro... after
I spending ope hour and 40 minutes at
; the lake cities.
The papers were In the hands of
I subscribers before their breakfast and
II on each was a sticker explaining how
H this was possible by means of the
W speedyi Essex delivery. On this trip
II were L. L. Haina and "V. A. Ross,
13 driving, and a representative of the
S Standard-Examiner staff.
) Motorists who have been over this
y route will best be able to Judge th
i! road abuse to w'nich. the car was sub-
jected, especially on the seqond trip
: after the hard rains of Monday night
; and Tuesday morning. This Essex Is
11 one of the cara which Is being used to
' 1 demonstrate the performance, econ-

Crossing the Logan canyon divide. Here the altitude is S300 feet. Note the snowbank. Neither the
altitude nor the temperature interfered with the carburetion and the engine kept delivering power .at
10() tper. cent: .
ists intending to take a trip to tho
lake, an actual check was made on
road conditions on the first trip and
should hold good how that the roads
have had time to dry out after their
recent soaking.
From Ogden to Wlllard the road is
paved almost ail the way and there
arc- only a few short stretches whore
men are Btill working. There is a good
gravel highway from "Willard to Brig
ham City, and from there to Mantua,
through WeUsvllle canyon, tho road '
is good all the way. The Essex went
through this canyon without shifting
out of hlgTi gear.
Prom Wcllsville to Logan there Is a
detour '.vhlqh makes the road three
miles longer than usual. After leaving
Logan the first five miles through Lo
gan canyon are cut up by repair gangs,
whigh necessitates slow driving. From
there-'to. the summit the road is in
good .condition all the way except for
springs washing across it.
The sinks near the head of Logan
canyon are" drying rapidly, and now
aVe perfectly .safe for travel. The dug
way to. the Dummlt i3 also In good
cpndltlon and 3afo for travel.
After crossing the divide there is a
path of snow across the road about
100 fect long. The Essex plowed
right oyer this; thero is, however, a
detour for those wishing to take it.
The extent of the snow bank may be
seen from - the picture taken of the
car oh It.
Construction crews on the grade
down. tlc.. other. side, of . the, divide
make going' slow, but otherwise the
roads are Open and safe. From there
Jarc in their Usual good condition,
On. the return trip by way of Hard
ware Ranch tnero is a two mile stretch
vvhero wprKmcn have the road torn
up, ana Irom there to the ranch the
oads arc in gooa condition except for
xbout 150 foot oi sliderock on tho Dan
sh )ugway, which in, however, per
ectly safe to cross. From the ranch to
Jeaver Creek tho road has been little
tsed this year, and because of the ruts
and chuck holes the going is slow and
tedious for about eight miles. "Down
BeaVer Crock to the South Fork of Og
den canyon, there Are aeveral fords; but
the Easjex had no trouble crossing
these. From there In to Ogden tha
roads are in tho usual good condition.
Lalce Country Beautiful.
The men in the car were all impres
sed with the Dcauty of the lako coun
try this year. The water which wjis
bo low last yearjs back to tho normal,
and all the lake cities and resorts
seem clean. There are quite a few
campers, many of whom are enjoy
ing the lake as shown by tho number
of suits hanging out to dry. Lilacs
are In bloom at Laketown, which i3
quite a contrast to Ogden, where they
bloomed last for this year abour. u
month ago.
Tho rugged endurance and depen
dability or tho Essex car was what
made traveling at tho high rate of
opeed over such roads possible. Mv.
Halns and Mr. Ross took turns driv
ing. They established ar enviable re
cord and one rarely equalled by light
weight cars. The Essex weighs 266G
pounds, ready for tho road, and Is
noted for its power, speed and endur
ance. Similar records for such runs
as the one made today are being
piled up by more than 30,000 ownora
In the United States.
Essex Holds Record.
An Essex holds the world's fifty hour
endurance record, as well as the
world's 24 hours road record, cover
2 lng 10C1 miles in the latter test. The
. test yesterday was practically all
through mountains, making driving
hard as well as being a terrible strain
on a car at such speed. The Essex
driven on tho trial trip jdld not tako
oh gas. oil or water on the
whole trjiu, The carrier capacity
of the Essex la 12 & gallons of
ga3, and the register showed 1 gallon
left when the car drew up to the Standard-Examiner
office after the trip.
" The distance traveled was 01.6 miles I
' - "
! The arrival at Ideal Beach, which the Essex reached in record
J time without the slightest mishap on the way.
I going, and 79. C miles returning, or
171,2 miles for. the entire trip. The gas
used wa3 11.6 gallons, or an average
of 14.97 miles per gallon, which Is ex
ceptionally good, considering the ex
treme travoling conditions which would
tend to lower the average below a rea
sonable mileage.
The Essex used was ono originally
purchased by L. "V. "Wood in, of tha
Burroughs Adding Machine company,
last year in Idaho, and turned in this
year for a new Essex. The car has been
driven more than 10,000 miles, and is
exactly like the Essex cars In tho hands
of more than 30,000 other owners in
tho country.
Owners of Essex cars may not want
to make tho trip to Bear lake in any
such time as made on these trips by
the Essex, but it will at least be of
interest, to them to know that any
time that such a trip Is necessary, the
rugged endurance and dependability
of their car is what will get them
there every- time. The campaign of
the Essex company for this week has
the motto. "Watch the Essex this
Week." It la appropriate because new
records are being hung up by Es3ex
cara all over the United States.
Anyone wishing further information
concerning road conditions to the
lake arc. invited to call on Mr. Hains
or Mr. R0S3 at.-tho -Ogden Motor Car
company. -
MO! Creek Ooen t
Fishermen on My 1
The waters of Mill creek, which
have been closed for several months,
will be open to fishermen beginning
July 1, according to an announcement
made this morning. However, sports
men who pull catfish from the stream
aro requested to throw them back, in
ah appeal sent out by the Weber Rod
and Gun club.
Several months ago the club ex
pended funds in order to stock tho
stream with catfish and these fish are
still too small to provido fish meals.
In the opening of the creek for the
angling of other fish, it is expected
that many catfish will be caught and
in order that the planted fish may
reach a larger growth, the club has Is
sued an appeal to all fisherman.
The regular meeting of the rod and
gun club will bo held in tho court
house Friday night at 8 o'clock. All
members, and sportsmen of Weber
county are invited to be present. A.
T. Hestinark. .president of the club,
will preside. ' 0 ' '
