Show AFTER bein snowbound for more than twenty-four hours, the second sec-ond Idaho delegation of more than 100 dealers, headed by Harry Buckland. ex-sheriff of Idaho Falls, arrived In the city yesterday yester-day afternoon. They at one flocked to the show. C. H. Carman, veteran automobile man who Is now making his headquarters in Salt Lake, yesterday told us of a speed ; journey in the year of 1905. It was 1 staged in South Dakota, when the up- ; to-date machine consisted of two cyltn- ders, cranked on the side, and ran j "sometimes." i Well, Carman was unfortunate enough j to own one of these and yet had the good luck to mve a steady girl (he said). I One Sunday morning they decided to ' take a long, long journey of twenty-four twenty-four miles to a town svhere they sold ice rream and peanuts. aV Thev started all N right and finallv f T joJ landed in the vil - r- age Just before f1 yj dawn the. next morn- ffJ JA in. The peanuts ' -K Jy l nnd Il'6 cream were f - f rj forgotten, while Car- ( man made a trip to L XrJ the village, doctor. T who set his cranking U H : (irm hack in the - 1 S T proper place. After procuring a good supply of wire, grease, oils and gas- h i - I niiugh icuii to last tliruuh the return voyage, they started out on, !''. A record was broken when they arrived back home Tuesday, just no fore .midnight. Taking inventory of his tinan- icial standing the next day, Carman found that the entire journev of foity- I eight miles only set him back ?T0. A feature this yar Is the lunrh conn- ter at the west -nd of the Mg show huildinir. Hundreds of visitors and salesmen sales-men lake tlio opportunity daily to appease ap-pease the cravings of the inner man without with-out the trouhl1 of going up town. Nearly everything thnt can lie l.;d at any restaurant res-taurant is imluded on the menu, but the "weenies' are t lie most popular. Someone suggested last night that they use tlv new tiaftic semupliore for moon-liu'ht moon-liu'ht daiudiia. There are some bargains in dress suits in the city today. Here's one that Kdmonds sprung on ub yesterday, hut he retused to even vouch tor the truth of it: Once upon a time there was a dish-face dish-face 1 Cyclops whose only joy in life was complaint. Each morning before be-fore lie had assimilated the soft-boiled soft-boiled unhitched he used to read the paper. And if he rend anything of optimism which might convey th impression im-pression that the country was headed head-ed for I he kennels, his disposition curdled and li is whole morning was spoiled. Hut an uncle passed in his checks in this mu ii' Jane poker game and the Dish-faced Cyclops was so overjoyed at the passing that he listened to tho better half. He visited the show and then concerned con-cerned to ride in a car. Then Elmer V. Hector, salesman for the Browning Auto & Supply 1 compan y , w as i n 1 rod u ced to t Ji e O. F. C Elmer threw a spell over him and, while the hard-hoiled nut was still in the etherlal, carried him outsida und placed him in a Willys-Six. ( There wasn't much to com- plain about.

Xot a darned" demur emanated ema-nated from him. Elmer pulled up in front of the auto show. " Whiit do you think of it?" he queried. But the D. F. C. never answered. The sensation was too much for him. He had never 'known anything like that before. Xo, Elmer did not land him he was dead. |
