Thousands of Houses in Turkish Capital OMAHA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1915 Trctor Maksa Most Remarkable Run of 1,000 Miles The most effective test of endurance ever tried by any manufacturer of farm tractor engines was recently completed In Fremont, when the Wallls “Cub” | tractor, handlea by the J. 1. Case Plow works, finished its 1,000-mile durability run, from Cleveland, O., to Fremont. tractor business with which to compare this work, but the thousand miles was made in thirty days actual running time, with a daily average of thirty-three and & third miles. This with a machine whose If miles per hour. The run started Jume 21 and finished wvith this rather remarkalie time was coupled the fact that the engine under- went no repairs from the time of leaving Cleveland until Fremont was reached. Not even a spark plug was changed, but the engine is running nearly as well as the day it started. Through Ohjo, Indiana and Illinols the trip was uneventful, the smooth “Pike” roads giving absolutely no trouble, but with the Mississipi behind, weather man took a hand In the game. Rain, clay roads and flooded valleys all did their best to hinder the “‘Cub’s” pregress. With roads turned into rivers and valleys Into lakes, the tractor pa- tiently plodded across Iowa and Omaha was reached at last. More bad weather was encountered be- tween Omaha and Fremont, and when the “Cub” and it's trailing wagon fin- ally pulled Into their destination, they were mud from radlator to tsll board. This cross-country run marks & new era in tractor buflding. Several features were brought into prominence, and lines for future improvements were firmly established. Spring mounting, fight welght, the thorough protection of parts and surplus power were demonstrated to be the foundation of the dependable tractor. The “Cub” will be one of the attrac- tions at the Fremont tractor show next week, Redfield Orders Test of Steamers Or the Great Lakes CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—Secretary of Com- merce Redfleld stated today that an equilibrium test of all passenger carrying steamers on the Great Lakes would be made and that the work of steamboat fnspectors during the last fifteen years would be investigated.

The sixth session of the federal board of inquiry into the East- lands disaster was held. today.
