Jaw will not be voted on during the special election called for June 26, ut will not go over until November, 1920, automatically, as a result of the Hiling of referendum petitions. Mr. Phelps got in with his petitions just in time to block a number of ounty seat removal campaigns whici were cropping up about the state. The ferendum will give these counties hteen months of rest and quiet, nd it is generally believed that the bill, which would render the tenure pf county seats in twenty of North Dakota's 53 counties, will he definitely laid away when the people get a hance at it a year from next Novem- per.

There the gear shift lever was disconnected from the low, middle and reverse gears, and the gear-box was seal- ed in high. The motor was start- ed; the car left the hotel and did not return for seven days; that was April 5th. The Overland 90, driven by a re- lay of four drivers, ran night and day, the motor never stopping for 168 continuous hours. The drivers had. no advantage of gear shifting during the two days of rain on muddy roads and the twelve to fif-‘ teen hours they spent each 24 hour flay on good and bad city pavements, in the rush of traffic, and on the Oklahoma roads. It has been said that if a motor car will stand up on an Oklahoma road, it will endure in any other section of the world. In these seven days and nights, during which the gear could not be shifted from high, nor the motor stopped for carburetor adjustment tr spark plug change, the’ Model 90 broke the world’s recoré for a test ef this kind. The speedometer, care- makes of cars ¢ompeting. On only one day of its run did the Overland fail to exceed the official A. A. A. record. That was the third day— an afternoon and night of rain with muddy going under the axles. The car then fell eight miles under the mark, but its performance was so unusually high that it averaged 624.8 miles for each day of the 168 hour run, The motorist is interested in tests of this kind only:as they point him to some feature of economy in oper- ation and upkeep... The test made by E. R. Carhart, Overland distributor in Oklahoma, appears to be replete with such features. The judges of the contest were the president of the Chamber of Commerce of that city, and the managing editors of the two leading daily newspapers. Examination of their records of the Model ’s record-breaking trip show: 1, The car made a trip, exclusive- ly in high gear, through city traffic, over country’ roads, with two days of steady Oklahoma downpours to contend with,'at.a cost of one and 17/100 cents-‘for gasoline and oil ae each ‘of the 4,370.1 miles trav- eled, 2.
