Grand Gift Campaign of Capital
News Closes in Blaze of Glory
Final Count of Votes to Decide the Winners Will Be Held
Wednesday at Christmas Gift Department; Meeting
to Determine Best Workers Starts at 2:30 p. m.
The Grand Christinas Gift Distribution of The Capital
News, which has been running since October 16th, closed
last night in a blaze of glory. Promptly at 9 o'clock the
doors of the campaign department were closed and the
greatest and most popular campaign ever held in this sec
tion of the country came to a glorious finish.
From early morning a force of clerks were kept busy
waiting upon the candidates and their friends, who were
eager and anxious to turn in the fruits of their work as
quickly as possible in order to go out after more.
The magnificent array of Christmas gifts proved a big
incentive to industry and no such scouring of this section
of the country tor subscriptions was ever seen before.
Until 9 o'clock the rush continued and it was some time
later before all those in the office at that time had been
waited upon. The last hour's rush resembled nothing so

SAXON SIX
A BIG TOURING CAR FOR FIVE PEOPLE
This Saxon "Six" sets a new pace
in performance.
Repeatedly has Saxon "Six" prov
ed itself the superior car. Not alone
in private use but in public competi
tion, too.
A case in point is the motor dem
onstration at the San Diego Fair
when Saxon "Six" won over both
eights and twelves, as well as other
"sixes" in speed, in hill-climbing and
in quick get-away.
But this new series Saxon "Six" is
even an abler-acting car.
By continued and consistent ex
perimentation and research work
Saxon "Six" motor has been given a
smoother, more supple power flow.
Think of what this refinement
means in quicker acceleration, in in
creased flexibility, in improved high
gear work.
Think what it means coupled with
the easy riding qualities of Saxon
"Six" and its notable economy in
gasoline, in oil and in repair service.
Figures based upon all Saxon
"Sixes" in use to date shows the av
erage cost for repair parts averages
$8.50 per car.
Do you know any car that can rival
—much less equal—that record?
Saxon "Six" is $825 f. o. b. De
troit.

Of course, in a campaign of this sort,
all cannot be winners, although all ac

receive rewards.
And so it is in every thing, all can
not be successful. Some must lose. But

prove so delightful that they will look

Naturally, Saturday's business was
the greatest day's work of the cam

FINAL COUNT WEDNESDAY.
The final count of votes, which will
absolutely determine the winners, will
start at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday aft

The Capital News. This count will he
in charge of Messrs W. G. Messe r
srnith, the well known real estate deal
er; Ernest Noble, president of the]
Overland National Bank, and P. M. j
Davis, postmaster of Boise. The un
questioned standing and integrity of
these gentlemen, who have no inter
est in the campaign, other than to can
vass the votes carefully at the request
of The Capital News, assures every
candidate that this final counting will
be an absolutely fair and Impartial one.
Ponding the final canvassing of the
votes, there is no telling who will
prove the winners of the many splen
did Christmas gifts, and many a home
in Boise and throughout the territory
covered, is all a-flutter with excite

not hard to account for, as the pros

almost too much to anticipate. But It

MILEAGE ADDED
BY NON-STOP CAR
Famous Maxwell Completes
Two Days' Tour Through
the Santa Clara, Salinas
and Pajaro Valleys.
San Francisco, Dec. 16.—With a pre
vious record of more than 35,900 miles
already to its credit, the world-famous
Maxwell non-stop champion lias Just
finished a two-days' tour out of this
city during which time it completely
circumnavigated the Santa Clara, Sa
linas and Pajaro valleys, running up
an added total of more than 300 miles.
The car, once more on display in Son
Francisco, now shows a grand total of
36,050 miles, and is again the center of
attraction of hundreds of interested en
thusiasts.
During the recent tour of the val
leys continguous to the San Francisco
bay region, in accordance with the de
termination of the Maxwell Motor
Sales corporation, the motor of the car
remained untouched. Remarkable as
this may seem In the face of all the
jgj strenuous work that liaa been impos
ÜTJ ' ed upon the International Wanderer,!
iij not one single adjustment of any kind
i lias been made to motor of this non
stop champion. Not a valve has been
ground, not even a spark plug has been
changed or cleaned. The dependable
and consistent performance of the ear
remains one of the marvels of local
I
motordom.
BETS BEING PLACED.
Incidentally, the world's champion
' is becoming a factor among the sport
ing element of local enthusiasts, bets
being placed and taken on its contin
ued consistent performance. On the
recent tour the passengers of the car.

On the latest expedition of the non

visited: San Jose, Gilroy, Hollister,]
Salinas, Watsonville, Castroville, Santa

An Overland Gets You
Outdoors in Winter
Recall last Winter—
How many times did you pass up visiting friends and attending
church and social gatherings just because of the inconven
ience of getting there and back again ?
How many times did you stay at home on bright, clear days be
cause walking was your sole method of travel?
Pretty often, wasn't it?
Don't spend another Winter tied in at home.
Get an automobile.
Get it now, so that you will have it when you have most leisure
to enjoy it. Don't wait till spring comes.
At this season o f the year we can promise immediate delivery.
Get an Overland NOW.

SOLDIER'S NOTE IN
AUTOMOBILE TIRE
"I'm off to I-ondon to join the terri
torials. If this is read in a reasonable
length of time I'll probably be in h—,
or somewhere in France.
"L. T. R.. Akron, Ohio. Aug. 11, 1915.''
Written on a piece of memorandum
paper and folded into a wad, this pen
ciled note was taken from tho inner
lube of a Miller tire last week by
Thomas C. Jenkins of Columbus, O.,
who reached Los Angeles recently.
Jenkins and his wife and child made
the Overland trip to southern Cali
fornia by the Santa Fe trail, by way of
Chicago, Omaha, Kansas City and
Denver.
The tire before it blew up had been
in almost constant use since it was
purchased and had made almost 10,000
miles.

U. S. TRUCK TIRES IN
USE ON THE BORDER
"Whole trains of trucks used for
supplying the United States army at
the various places along the Mexican
border are equipped with United
States solid truck tires exclusively,"
said C. J. Welch, manager of the
Truck Tire department of the United
States Tire company.
"I have just received reports that
these tires are giving more than satis-1
factory service, notwlthstand.ng the
terrific wear to which these tires are
continually put. The character of the
country through which they have to
go is such that ordinary solid truck
tires could not possibly give but a
very small part, of the service that
United States solid truck tires are
delivering with satisfactory consis
tency. For the most part, where there
are any roarls, the surface condition
is unbelievably gritty and stony; and
where there are no roads, the condi
tions are a thousand times worse. Yet
in spite of all this, I'nited States solid
truck tires are giving mileage that
would lie satisfactory even in com
paratively smooth city traffic."
