Of the entire total The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Corm- pany made nearly 7,000,000 tires, or 20 per cent. In 1920 it is estimated that 40,000,000 tires will be produced, of which this company will produce about ! 25 per cent. | Automobile exports last year were of * startling totals, The value of motor vehicles. and parts sent abroad to 81 countries was $146,234,516, of which 62,- 624 were passenger cars valued at $68,- 947,740, while 14,748 were commercial ve- hicles worth $35,372,419. The value of ( parts exported was $42,016,284. It is estimated that there were in 1919, 62,036 automobile dealers, garages and repair shops in the United States. Of the total, 32,317 were passenger car dealers, 18,943 were truck dealers, 26,- 427 were garages and 43,318 were re- pair shops. Farmers were the largest users of motor trucks, owning 10 per cent more than manufacturers and 15 per cent Tore than retailers. It is estimated that 40 per cent of the car output was sold to farmers \last year.

ANILAOAD LINE “FROM PATAGONIA TOVCANADA; PLAN Dream of Line from Hudson Bay to Buenos Aires and Patagonia Brot. Nearer. Realization By Conference SQ EEE—=———— Sr UU™U.L.U.220£&— am Oe & a 2 Ba LE & . Ny Ansociated Prens.) . NEW: YORK (By Malil),—Realization of the dream of a railroad from “Hud- ‘ son Bay to Patagonia and Buenos Aires” has been brought nearer as a result of the recent Pan-American finan- cial conference in Washington, accord- ing to Charles M. Pepper, who, in 1903, was appointed by President Roosevelt, under authority of Congress, to visit the. several countries from Mexico southward and report on the project. A journey by rail from the Arctic Circle to the tip of South America—ap- proximately 10,000 miles—could be made under good traffic conditions, it has been estimated, in sixteen to eighteen outgrowth of the first “Pan-American financial conference held in Washing- ton in 1915. also approved the projict and urged its support by the. v: republics. “In the eighteen years since the Plan was indorsed by the Mexican con- ference,” explained Mr. Pepper, “on- siderable progress has been made in joining up various railway sectinns. Chile has completed the longitudinal line from Puerto Montt in the south to the railways in the north, which form junctions with the main trunk of the Pan-American system. “The Transandine line, from Valpa- raiso to Buenos Aires, also has been completed, while the lines joining the Brazilian systems radiating from Rio de Janeiro, have been finished so that they form junctions with Uruguayan and Argentine lines. “The Argentine line was finished to the southern border of Bolivia at La Quiact several years ago, while Bolivia has closed up most of the links in her Pan-American trunk line. There are now less than 125 miles in Bolivia to be completed, some of which is also graded, in order to provide through railway connection from Buenos Aires to La Paz and to the Pacific. It would cost approximately $5,000,000 to com- plete it, “The group commmittee on Bolivia at the recent Pan-American financial conference recommended that a loan be granted Bolivia for the purpose of com- pleting this link. It wes explained that the gauge was the same as that of the Argentine lines and an- arrangement by which Bolivia could use Argentine rolling stock was suggested.” By a coincidence, Mr. Pepper, who made the Pan-American Railway report under President Roosevelt, was 2 mem- ber of the group committee on Bolivia. He also was railway adviser to the committee on transportation. This committee adopted a resolution offered by Martinez Vargas of Bolivia, for call- ing a Pan-American Railway confer- ence further to consider the subject of railway operation, interchange of traffc, | standardization of rates and financing, \ This resolution, as amended. by the committee on resolutions and adopt | by the recent conference, provided for referring the calling_of such a meting. of Pan-American representatives to the Inter-American high commission, ¢Just when the transhemisphere railroad con- ference will be called has not yet been -. determined. 1 | Argentina’s keen interest in develop- ing the Pan-American trunk line pro- ject was indicated by Dr. Ricardo C. Aldao, a member of the Argentine finan- cial mission, not only at the conference in Washington, but also in his address. at the recent banquet of the Pan- American Society here, It was later pointed out by others that Argentina now has an 1,100-mile railroad from days, At present twenty-four days are required for the 7,871-mile sea voyage from New York to the capital of Ar- gentina, ) ‘This dream of a transhemisphere trunk line, running almost the entire Jength of the two American continents, ‘was born in the brain of Hinton Rowan Heiper, a Southern writer and former United States consul in South America, more than fifty years ago. The late United States senator, Henry Gassaway Davis, of West Virginia, a practical railroad builder, saw its feasibility, and, with Andrew Carnegie and other weal- thy Americans, gave the idea a fresh impetus, James G. Blaine also once ad- vocated it. Z The jproject, however, received first definite form at the international Ameri- can conference, held in Mexico City in 1902, when it appointed ‘a permanent Pan-American Railway ¢7mmzittee, com- posed of prominent citions of the United States and diplomatic officials of Latin-American countries, resident in Washington. Former Senator Davis ond Mr, Cartiegie were members of it. Later, as the enyoy of the president and the representative of the committee, Mr. Pepper went to Central America and South America, and, after visiting the yarious Countries for @ year, re- turned and made a report which has been the basis of subsequent discussion on general idea outlined in the Pep- ". Ba Ap te Bn 4 , ; , ; °| ; J 4 The , per ‘was"that the het 5 railway consruction, should give spe cial attention to the links in a through intercontinental trunk Ine north and south, which, ’ ultimately, would be joined. Attention was also given to the puflding of branch Unes and “feeders, especially in South America, on the the Pacific, which would form inter: ences; held at Rio de Janeiro and Bue- hos Alres, approved the idea and con- tinued the Pan-American Railway com- mittee, ‘The international high commis- sion, now renamed as the Inter-Amer- can high commission, which was the en car that you see in March = wearing one Kelly-Spring- field tire usually wears a com- plete set by the end of the season.

The clutch is continually being teleased for. quick stops and the motor; usually races. Even the hardly pre- vent it. Try it yourself and see. A moment’s racing wears the motor more than several miles of steady pulling. Quick starts are necessary. Most drivers jam down the accelerator. This strains and wears not only the motor but every moving part of the truck. Aud it sucks in an excess quantity of gas—makes the mixture too rich—wastes gas needlessly—fouls the cylinders and spark lugs. The Clydesdale is the only truck on the market that is protected against all these difficulties. The Clydesdale controller does it--—an exclu- sive patented device called by users “The Driver Under the Hood.” When the clutch is thrown out the controller automatically cuts down the gas, preventing the motor from racing. When a quick start is made even though the accelerator pedal is jammed down suddenly it acts through the controller which has just enough dampening effect to prevent excess gas being sucked into the cylinders. R. N. VAN SANT MOTOR TRUCK AND CAR SALES Motor Trucks and Cars Sold on Partial Payment Plan HENNING HOTEL CASPER, WYOMING BRAGA RAR ES NT A The “pick up” is just as quick as on any truck but it is smooth— - no shock or strain on the parts, When hills, mud, sand or snow are encountered the “‘Driver Under the Hood” opens and closes. the throttle automatically, keeping the truck moving at the same rate of speed, All the driver has to do is to set the hand throttle lever for the speed he wishes to maintain. The “Driver Under the Hood” does the rest. Savings accomplished by the Ciydesdale controller amount to hundreds of dollars a year. Clydesdale owners say the savings in gas alone amounts to 10% on their investment. Yet this is only one of many advanced fea- tures found on the Clydesdale. The copper tube, trouble-proof radiator with the heavy guard bars—the massive frame of extra depth —the design and “thook up’’ practically a dup- licate of the General Omnibus Truck—the most famous and most efficient truck in the world. This fact is admitted by all truck experts. Go and examine the Clydesdale and you wiH see why it was the first American built truck.to be approved for army service by the Allied forces—why it has gained in four years’ time a place among the four best selling trucks in the world.
