Flrestones Again Help to Win Victory.
Word comes from Los Angeles that
a contest was held recently in that
vicinity which was conceded to be
the greatest event of its kind ever
held. Twenty-four motor trucks of
various makes and classes were pit
ted against each other in a strenuous
run of over 200 miles against the
heaviest kinds of odds.
In laying out a route for test, a
committee appointed by the Motor
Truck dealers Association of Califor
nia, selected the worst roads to be
found in that section, to make the af
fair a real test of endurance. Some
of the roads were in such condition
that the touring car in which the com
mittee traveled, found the greatest
difficulty in making their way Rough
dirt roads with deep ruts, stretches
of deep sand, where the wheels slid
and foundered almost helplessly, steep
hill climbs, slippery oiled roads and
in fact every kind of obstacle was ar
ranged for, that would make the af
fair a real test of tires and mechan
ism.
Starting at Los Angeles, they bore
southeast to Riverside then north
thru Redlands and San Francisco and
then westward again to Los Angeles
Tire best score was chalked up in
favor of a 1500 pound Menomine
truck In the two days of travel thev
consumed about sixteen gallons of
gasoline, one quart of oil and one
quart of water. They made the last
ninety-one miles in four hours and
twen*y-eight minutes. The driver
gives much of the credit for his vic
tory to the behavior of the Firestone
tires with which the truck was
equipped.

Threw Eggs at Religious Meeting.
Two ministers of the gospel, while
conducting services on the street at
Breckenridge were egged by boys on
the roof of a saloon near by. Theie
is evidence to prove that the saloon
keeper furnished the eggs and paid
the parties something for throwing
them. Some of the railroad boys from
here were at Breckenridge and thot
the incident was one which showed
much depravity. It has aroused mucu
indignation there among the better
°lass of people.

A recent dispatch from Stockholm
says. "A stream of unfortunate Rus
sians is passing through Sweden from
south to north, on the way through
a peaceful land to perhaps still great
er suffering in their own country,
iv here the world's war is ablaze All
relate horrible stories Every train
brings new hundreds of Russian trav
elers, the most of whom have been
expelled from the German empire. It
is with great difficulty that traffic is
maintained, but all is going satisfac
torily in spite of great delays. The
Central station in Stockholm is like
a refuge place in spite of our peace
ful conditions. The Russian invasion
has had its effect in Stockholm. All
the hotels are full of travelers, from
excellencies and princes and rich
business men down to more humble
tourists, all of whom are in a quan
dary as to how to reach home. For
those who have no money with which
to pay a barracks has been provided
by the Swedish authorities and the
poor law officers furnish food while
they are waiting to continue their
journey Many of the poor creatures
are quite broken down by the suffer
ing which they have undergone. Sev
eral women have gone insane Many
are lying ill in the barracks The dis
trict doctors make repeated-visits
Russians who have been living in
Geimany for many years have had
to leave all they possessed and only
take with them as much as they could
in a railway carriage To depict all
the sufferings that these people have
passed through on their way to Stock
holm is impossible The long, weary
journey in a packed mass, and with
out possibility of getting anything to
eat or drink, the moaning of the wom
en and children, the complainings of
the ill and the quiet despair of the
men—all this gives an idea of the
thousands of ills a cruel war will
bring When the fugitives arrive in
SM\ eden relief is offered them at once
They have no words warm enough in
recognition of the help shown Tears
of thanks run down hardened men's
features and the little children, who
for the first time for five or six days
have escaped the tortures of hunger,
stretch out their arms to the moth
ers, who, sobbing, utter words which
no one understands, but the meaning
of which nobody can mistake."

his people for the confidence they
placed in him and asked God to pro

gathered with the greatest of enthu

demonstrations that the Swedes stand

N W. Rosenquist of Clarkfleld,
Minn, who returned from Norway
last week after making a visit to both
that country and Sweden, gave the
following account of his home jour
ney: "Outside of the mobilization of
troops in Sweden, Norway and Den
mark, I saw nothing that would indi
cate the great war that is now going
en in Europe. At first all ablebodled
men in Sweden from thirty-five to
forty years of age were called to the
colors. Later every man over nine
teen was pressed into service.
About this time I decided to leave,
and went to Copenhagen to get pas
sage. All first class and second class
passage on the Oscar II. had been
taken for two months in advance, and
I had to be satisfied with steerage
passage. There were 1,400 passen
gers on th9 boat, and the capacity
was supposed to bejonly 1,200. Thf
boat was packed to the rails, and peo
ple were sleeping anywhere there was
room. Part of the time I slept in a
bed, but most of my nights were
spent in hammocks and on the top of
tables. We went 700 miles out of the
regular steamship path trying to
avoid foreign warships We passed
several of them and in one case we
went so close that they turned their
searchlight on us The passage was
very rough and those who were un
able to obtain cabins had a very un
easy time of it."
The Norwegian steamer Gottfried
was blown up Aug 27 in the North
sea by a floating mine, says a recent
London dispatch Eight members of
her crew lost their lives. The cap
tain ot the trawler and three others
were pieked up from floating wreck
age and taken into Shields by the
fishing boat Norden. Officers of the
latter say they were alarmed all
through the night by distant explo
sions, which followed each other at
intervals from 9 p, to 4 a.
About 6 o'clock in the morning the
lookout on the Norden sighted a man
floating on a piece of wreckage He
declared that the Gottfried had been
blown up and had gone down imme
diately with eight members of her
crew. The dead men had been liter
ally blown to pieces. Later the cap
tain of the Gottfried was found float
ing in a lifeboat and two others of her
complement were rescued from float
ing wreckage.

The tourist traffic in Norway re
ceived a great setback as a result of
the war. A great many tourists are
stranded in Christiania and cannot get
back Especially is this the case with
the American tourists, mostly Nor

Norway in large numbers during the
past summer. When the war broke
out Germans, Englishmen, Russians
and Austrians eould be seen looking
over each others shoulders at the va

Change of Road.
Aug. Jordm, road overseer for the
town of New London, is busy these
days with six teams and men, making
a change in the Norway Lake road
about a mile and a half west of the
village. J. M. Monson circulated a pe
tition among the farmers in that com
munity to change the road, in 1911.
It was presented to the town board at
that time but nothing was done until
now. Instead of taking the curve to
the north at the intersection of Sec
ions 8 and 9, the road will be made to
run due west following the south line
of section 8 until it strikes the old
road again in the neighborhood of the
old church on the J. M. Monson farm.
About half of the work will be done
this fall and the remainder next
summer. A new bridge will also
have to be built over Crow river just
this, side of the V. E. Olson place.—
