Little chat and a cigar and the man was soon our friend. He had at one time been a brakeman and would ride on the step with us to the next turn to show us our direc- tions. Riding that step was some different than riding onto a freight train and we had to let the man off to keep him from jumping into the ditch, which might have been dis- asterous to him. We had quite forgotten our water supply and before we could reach a farm house within decent walking distance from the road our radiator was steaming hot. John likes to take chances rather than to walk and he made a house all right pulling right up to the front windows. The occu- pants were rather hastyin making their exit upon our arrival to their front porch. It took some explaining to con- vince them that we were human and only wanted water. We got water all right and learned later to appreciate it. The farmer’s well was dry and that quart or two of the freest thing in the world we had to carry a mile. We had litter- ally scared that farmer into giving up the precious fluid. Almost into Long Prairie, upon rounding a short curve a sight not to be forgotten was before us. Sil- houtted in front of our ‘“‘Search Light” was a horse trying his best to climb a twenty foot embankment, a buggy hitched behind, a man be- hind the buggy seemingly trying to push the whole outfit up on up the incline. We did not stay to see the finish. Upon our return next year we will look that ground over to see if there isn’t a single driver and horse in the tree tops somewhere. They were going up when last seen by us. At Long Praire, although arriving at nine o’clock we managed to find a place toeat. We were hungry and when the German lady set before each of us a porter house steak lap- ping the four sides of the plate we were greatful indeed. Those steaks were at least one dollar each whole- sale. Imagine our surprise when the lady wanted to know if twenty five cents each was too much. Then we slept. Next morning after equipping our- selves with gasoline and other necessaries we were off to Eagle Bend. A snowy path lay ahead of us and while we were not equipped witha snow plow ‘the little Velie made tracks and at pretty fair speed. With the exception of a couple of steps for water we made Eagle Bend and there stopped long enough to thaw out. The remaining distance to Wadena might better be portrayed, words and expressions can not picture four frozen automobile enthusiasts, wad- ing through snow drifts pushing a big automobile up hill after hill, skirmishes to farm houses for water and finally literally buried in a snow drift, frozen in for the winter. Thanks to a very kind and generous farmer with a big team, our arrival in Wadena was an interesting one. Our ice wagon was hauled right to the depot for us and immediately loaded ona freight car. The Velie is in town and Barker can tell you more good points about that machine than the best automobile salesman in the coun- try, Jerrard can also eulogize. John is satisfied to be out froma snow drift, And Frenchie can say some things about that trip too, The performance of this car is nothing more than we re: expected, because we purchased the very best car that was possibfé for money to buy. We might mention, as one item, our AXLES. A certain well- known axle is being put into several cars offered near our price which axle was offered to the Velie Company for g80.00 less per axle than the type we finally decided to buy from The Timken Roller Bearing Axle Company. We purpose to build for 1910 4,000 automobiles. This makes a a difference in our axle bill of $320,000, Furthermore, we did not buy a 3o0-horsepower axle to put with a 4o-horsepower motor, but we did buy a 6o-horsepower axle to put with a 4o-horsepower motor, We are willing to spend this money to insure our customers and dealers of a satisfactory automobile at a popular price. There are a great many cars on the American market, selling from $2,750 up, that have this construc- tion, but you will not find it in any other car selling for less than that. We should like to call your attention to numerous other items of the Velie 40 for 1910, Which give our car the earmarks of the other cars selling for much more money than we ask, The RADIATOR, for instance: We purchased one of the most expensive radiators on the market —The Honeycomb Type, with Cast-Aluminum effect. We bought this radiator because it was a good one, and far surperior to others that were offered us for less money. Our TRANSMISSION is the best obtainable; there is no better made. Chrome Nickeled Steel is the best steel you can put into gears; you will find 1t in all Velie Gears. In using the Spicer. Universal Joints, we bought the best. There is no better STEERING GEAR than the Gemmer; it costs more than others, but not too much to put in the Velie. Take our DASHBOARD and COIL BOX, BODY WOOD TRIM- MINGS of highly polished veneered circassian walnut, it gives the cara detail finish which is as good as any that can be obtained on any auto: mobile at any price. We purchased the RUSHMORE Headlight. Everybody knows that the Rushmore is the best, and far from being the cheapest.’ There are many other things, in detail, too numerous to mention. We think the 1910 Velie at $1,800.00 ought to sell—it will, and the dealer who handles this car will not be disappointed on his deliveries. He:will give his customers a car that will give them perfect satisfaction, with the GUARANTEE OF ONE YEAR of a great manufacturing concern behind it, The Velie Company is going to build 4,000 cars for 1610—not 40,000—neither are they going to contract with 40,000 dealers. We are going to contract with enough dealers to dispose of our output— no more, no less. All the dealers who contract for Velie Automobile: are going to get them. plish anything unless he delivers the automobiles to his customers. Wise buyers better get in touch with Velie dealers and close up a deal for the 1910 Velie Automobile. New Bridge At Erickson Lake. W. H. Gemmell of Brainerd, gen- eral manager for the M. & I. Rail- way company, passed through the city last evening on his way to Brainerd, after having been at Ten- strike to investigate the condition of the troublesome “Erickson -Lake bridge.” Mr. Gemmell stated that a new pile bridge will be put in at the lake and that the pile driver will. be sent, to Tenstrike today. Two bridge crews have also been ordered to the scene and effort will be made to rush the work to completion. D. A. McFarlane, master car- penter for the M. & I, and Harry Mills, roadmaster, are on the grounds assisting in the work. They expect to have everything in readi- ness for trains by Tuesday morning, although it is expected that Mon- day’s trains will be allowed to pass over the bridge. H. N. Harding, New Member Cass Lake Council. Cass Lake, Nov. 20.—(Special to Pioneer.)—A meeting of the village council was held in the council chambers Thursday evening, and the only business of imiportance coming up was the choosing of another citizen to fill in the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mayor Lange. H. N. Harding, cashier of the First National Bank was chosen as the new member and itis likely that he will be honored with the mayorship although it has not been definitely decided as yet. Mr. E. J. Lundrigan is acting as mayor temporarily, until the next regular meeting which will be held the first of next month. Probate Court. Nov. 15. Estate of Burdick Clark.
