Man 04 4 'mx Overcoming the difficulties of transportation was one of the main topics discussed at the annual meeting of the national automobile chamber of commerce In New York, Thursday, June 3, when reports were made showring that more than 68,000 motor cars and trucks were delivered for the highways from factories to dealers. The previous recwas 61,000 in April. ord for drive-awqThe difficulties of railroad transports- - l tion during the past month or six weeks have had their effect on automobile production, the manufacturers as a whole being now on about a 75 per cent basis owing to the transportation limitations on incoming material. Aside from the home demand, the foreigners are asking for motor vehicles in greater numbers than ever before, j March exports established a new record with thf shipment of 3185 trucks, valued at (4 600, OoO, and 14 702 tars, valued at more than $18,000 000 In order to reciprocate with European manufacturers the American automobile industry by a unanimous vote of the 123 companies in the N A C.

And the automobile takes its proper and important position in regard to this world-- , old sport, for the motor car afforda the fisherman a means of transporta-'tio- n without which he would have to .banish the pleasure of whipping the roaring stream from his list of pastimes or occupations, as the case may be. A look into many a garage for the j next few days would disclose the car owner who has aspirations to angie for the striped beauties going over his en-- I gine with the care and thoroughness of j a pilot about to venture over the en- lines. Shining, greasing, and even Iemy to sedan or roadster for he that during this week the- - car j is due for a trying dual with mountain land canyon roads. The most important role which the j motor car has to perform in connection with the fishing season is the duty of taking' the Saturday and Sunday fisherman to bis favorite haunt after working hours Saturday afternoon and getting him back again Monday morning to open the office. Tbit is an advantage which the modern angler has over his ancestors of long ago, who had to prepare and carry out a pilgrimage to get a days sport in the streams. Especially is this true of the country surrounding Salt Lake City, which offers many canyons within a few hours drive to the motorist where the streams abound with the speckled trout. And with the possibility of a hard ram removed, good roads will greet the 'motorist who ventures forth June 15 in search" of his favorite sport. From all indications the canyon roada in the immediate vicinity of Salt Lake will be in good shape for driving. As to the longer trips, reports have it that the roada are all in fairly good condition. Salt Lake s automobile dealers report a heavy sale of ears during the week to those who intend to use them during the summer months for fishing trips, and garage owners account for their influx of new business by the same method of reasoning. The opening day of tho season this year should prove to be a period of pleasure for the entire family, as the mountains are now at their best as far as natural beauty is concerned. Motorists returning from the various haunts of the experienced fisherman say that the drives through tho canyons are alone worth the trials and tribulations of the journeys. . .
