C., this meek to represent the stale bet on1 the I n i led States supreme court in pleasuring I lie east- involving ownership of close to six thousand acres of coal land in Carl ton county, north and east of l'rire. It Las been eiuliiig before the liighe.-t- t tribunal of the country fur several years past arising out of the dispute between the state and the interior leurt incut over the interpretation of the enabling act which gave to the common weH It h four sections in every township for the suppirt of its Itctwecii 1(101 and common school. 1904 there was certified to Itali the title in queston and boon thereafter the state negotiated eontraets with the Milner interests of Suit Lake City for their sale. Suit was Immght by the llnited States to set aside these tiuut racts and resisess the lauds on the ground that they were of known iniueral character at the time of survey and hence the title never passed to the state. In June 1914 the United States was Awarded judgment setting aside the contract with the Milners and their assigns, the Carlton County Land and several months later it was affirmed in the eireuit court of The state was not made a party to this litigation and continued to hold title to the land until 1920 w hen it eonveyed it to the rompany for one hundred dollars an acre or a total purchase price of $550,428, which tlie state claims was a setarate transaction from that formerly entered into. Soon after the second deal had been oonsuuialed with the state the Carlmu County Land roinany sold tu the In deendent Coal and Coke rompany twelve hundred arrea fur a consideration of 500,000 shares of the capital stock of the latter. For the second time the United States brought suit to set aside the contract, but the state intervening in the case won out with the Independent Coal and Coke and with the Carbon County I.and companies. The United States district rourt dismissed the suit, but an apjH-a- l was taken to the circuit court of appeals wliere the state and the companies again won, JYoin this the United States apiiealed to the highest judicial tribunal. M. E. Wilson of Salt Lake City is representing the Independent Coal and Frank K. Nebekrr the Carbon Land company. The state, represented by Cluff, is appearing as a friend of the court, seeking, however, to have the decision of the district court affirmed and the contract entered into with the Carbon ratified. i - eoui-jNin- y, a. -- COING NON-UNIO- N BEFORE THE UNITED times in the dilemma of 'j utting down or of slahing wages which the miners refused to accept.

This meant operating at a loss for a majority of the mines, but the losses were absorbed by the surpluses accuuiulat ed during 1926. The railroad companies were next tackled and persuaded in general to allow freight reductions principally on long hauls. This policy was designed to aid the Frenen mines in rnuiietipg with British eoal in rertain regions near (lie seaboard and thus reduce iinjkortations. Finally, Minister Tartlien summoned the miners representatives, and showed them the sacrifices to which the owners and the railroads had consented. He easily proved by figures that unless wages were reduced the must inevitably dose, and would bring unemployment not only to miners, but to industrial workers. projK-rtie- mile-a-minu- te if before has any automobile in America 5,000 miles in less than 5,000 consecutive minutes. A stock Studebaker did it The Commander, a closed car fully equipped, including even spare tire. In official tests under the sanction and observation of the American Automobile Association this stock Studebaker, identical with the car you can buy in any Studebaker sales room, not only established the amazing new record of 5,000 miles in 4909 minutes total elapsed time, but also set four other records. 2500 miles in 40 hours, 12 minutes, 54 seconds total elapsed time. An average speed of 62.16 miles NEVER 3X024 miles in 50 hours total elapsed time. An average of 62.05 miles per hour. 3500 miles in 56 hours, 47 minutes, 3214 seconds total elapsed time. An average speed of 61.62 miles s per hour. He pointed out that whereas the owners had made price reductions effective during the winter, the miners were not asked to aecept wage reductions until March or April, when the effects of cuts would be reflected in lower living costs. Furthermore, In the principal mining districts, the laborers were asked to accept reductions of only 6 to 8 ier cent against 14 to 15 reductions in coal prices. After many weeks of persistent effort the whole program was accepted and when the socialist interpellatorj eanie before the chamber to attack the cabinet's fuel policy they found tlie ground cut from under their feet by the fart that the mine workers whom they pretended to represent had come to an amicable agreement with employers and the government 4414 miles in of coimra month miles in 81 hours, 48 minutes, 22 seconds total elapsed time. An average speed of 61.12 miles per hour. No automobile or other vehicle in America has travelled so far so fast. No stock closed car has ever approached this record.

Ita condition teemed to indicate that it might have continued WTiat is 5JOOO miles?

Hour taut does tha 20th Cantury Ltd. trural? Its average speed it 48 miles per hour between 960 miles New York and Chicago. How many anginas an usad in drawing tha Cantury from New York to Chicago? Four engines, each one coating $61,500, are needed for the task. Despite the feet that these engines have fewer moving parts than a Studebaker car and are driven on steel rails by expert engineers, they are run less than 500 miles on any trip, then go in the roundhouse for service. Haw do Commander prices compan with other care of similar power? No other car of equal or greater rated horsepower sella for less than double the price of The Commander. To match The Commander in power you must pay from $4,000 to $10,000. Why sum Commander prices so low? Volume production on a bane gives you a truly great automobile enormous power and luxurious comfort at a moderate price. That is why the Studebaker Big Six outsells the combined totals of all other care in the world of equal or greater rated horsepower.
