The gasoline consumption is unusually low.
The tire mileage is unusually high.
The coun"y commissioners this
morning voted to advertise for bids
for placing gravel upon the roads
leading from Austin to Pflugerville and
Manor, though the act of advertising
for the bids was deferred until this
afternoon, in order to let O. G. Bun-
sen, the engineer, who has been em-
ployed to draw up specifications, have
time to complete his plans for the two
roads. At poon today Ike D. White,
who is taking care of the legal end of
the project, met with the commis-
sioners and went over the proposition
with a view to avoiding another tan-
gle similar to that when warrants
were voted for the tarviating of the
post road. •
Delegations from Manor and Pflug-
erville were in Austin todav urging
the commissioners to advertise for the
bids today, lest the bill now 'pending
in the Legislature forbidding the fur- ■
ther issuance of warrants for road
building be passed making the con-
struction of the two roads through an
issue of warrants impossible. The bill
now pending before the Legislature
carries an emergency clause, and there
is a possibility of its going into ef-
fect in time to prevent the issue >f
the matter is postponed until the next
regular meeting vof the commission-
era court, which will be held next Mon-
day.
An issue of warrants for ths build-
ing of these two roads seems to meet
the unanimous approval of the resi-
dents of these two precincts, though it
is doubtful whether a bond Issue or
an increase of taxes would be fav-
ored.
It is the intention of the commis-
sioners to place a bituminous surface
on each of these roads after they have
been graveled sufficiently to form a
base. About ten and one-half miles
of the twelve mile stretch between
Austin and Manor will have to be built
up before the tarvia can be spread,
but the mad to Pfugervile 1r in much
better condition it will cost about
145.600 to complete the Manor road,
but the coat of the Pflugervihe road

The "Ferrocarril Magazine,’ pub-
lished at Valparaiso, in a iecent num-
ber contained an article on a trip at
a Dodge Brothers car across the Ata-
cama Deert and through the Huasco
Valley in Chile.
The car was purchased by Mr. Gallo
G. Guillermo,- a merchant of Vallenar,
and on its arrival at Port Huasco, it
was decided to make a trip aerods the
desert into the mountains. The tires
were covered with ox-hide to make
them withstand the terrific road condi-
tions.
The article goes on to say:
"It was a beautiful winter morning,
characteristic of the valley, and at 8
o'clock in the morning Messrs. Gallo
G. Guillermo, SEngineer Maximo Bas-
tian and Mr. Alfredo Ovalle Jr., the
latter a passenger, begun the trip. Aside
from the* necessary equipment fur the
automobile they carried about 200 kilo-
grams of baggage. After they had as-
cended to and crossed through the
plains at the speed of 25 kilometers
per hour, approximately, they drew
near the great “Quebrada de Arenas"
(Broken Sany Iand), which is nearly
nine kilometers long with a grade of
5.6 per cent. They were obliged to
travel an hour and a quarter through
this devilish place, where the sand
sometimes reached the axles of the car.
After having negotiated without diffi-
culty this stretch of road, they arrived
at 11:45 p. m. at Vizehacita, a famous
silver mining property owned by Mr.
Alfredo Ovalle, and which is at the
present time operating under the man.
agement of his son, Mr. Alfredo Ovalle
Jr., who accompanied Messrs. Guillermo
and Bastian.
“After having visited the entire es-
tablishment they continued their trip
toward El Orita, at 2:80 p. m.
”Up to Vizchacita, 38 kilometers from
Vallenar, they had followed the longi-
tudinal railroad tracks, but at that point
they cut across the country leaving all
civilization and help and entered a re-
gion entirely uninhabited.
"From Vizchacita, a point of SOO me-
ters above the sea level, the road which
is scarred with ruts and full of ditches,
runs in a direition of the famous Ca-
becita Larga Hill, 1600 meters high.
“Within an hour and a half they had
reached the top and were descending
through Las Breas, which is an bid
smelter belonging to the El Orito Mines
Company. Las Breas is a small oasis
in the midst of the desert where they
secured a new supply of water for the
engine. This is the only place where
thev found a human being. Upon
leaving Las Breas the most difficult
part of the journey was begun. Be-
tween this point and El Orito the dis-
tance in a straight line is only 4 kilo-
meters, but there is a difference in ele-
vation of 1660 meters. The road turns
When those sharp' pains go shooting
through your head, when your skull
seems a if it would split, just rub a
little Musterole on the temples and
neck. It draws out the inflammation,
soothes away the pain, usually giving
quick relief.
Musterole is a clean, white ointment,
made with oil of mustard. Better than
a mustard plaster and does not blister.
Many doctors and nurses frankly rec-
ommend Musterole for sore throat,
bronchitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma,
neuralgia, congestion. pleurisy, rheu-
matism. lumbago, pains and aches of

cles, bruises, chilblains, frosted feet--

pneumonia). It is'always dependable
hour been watching the car as it as-
cended with its headlights shining like
fantastic eyes, and the muffler cut out,
and they were of one accord that the
spectacle was beautiful and impressive.
“After having remained at the mine
for two days they returned to Vallenar
as the sky had become covered with
clouds and there was danger that they
might be cut off by a snow storm
which are frequent in these parts.
- “The return trip was made in seven
hours, including the time spent at
breakfast, the road not permitting a
greater speed.
“The passengers were well satisfied
and expressed their admiration for the
quality of the Dodge engine which had
so amply merited the confidence placed
in It at the beginning of the trip, and
a trip of this kind may be said to be a
colossal test for n car of any kind
Mr. Bastian tells us that two years ago
he made a trip to Las Condes which is
really a promenade when compared to
the trip he had just made, taking Into
consideration the grades and the condi-
tion of the road. There is a splendid
automobile road to that point which
will greatly assist in the commercial
development of the Valley. Undoubt-
edly th© trip which has just been com-
pleted will awaken general enthusiasm
and interest for automobling.’"
NEW YORK, Feb. 7.—The decision
of the Intercollegiate Rowing Associa-
tion to reduce, the Varsity champion-
ship race from four to three miles calls
attention to the fact that this is but
one of several changes made from time
to time in the Poughkeepsie program.
The history of the regatta dates back
to 1985 when the first four-mile race
was staged upon the Hudson. A year
later the two-mile race for freshmen
crews was added and in 1898 Columbia,
Pennsylvania and Cornell incorporated
the association.
The same season the regatta was
transferred from Poughkeepsie to Sar-
atoga Lake and the length of the
varsity race cut to three miles.
Eighteen hundred ninety-nine saw the
crews back on the Hudson again where
the four-mile event was restored anl
a two-mile race for varsity fours add-
ed to the program. In 1901 a one-
mile single scull race was featured
and was won by C. E. Goodwin, of
Syracuse, in 9 minutes 32 3-5 seconds,
but the eyent was not revived in fol-
lowing seasons. Beginning with the
1914 regatta a two-mile race for jun-
ior eights was substituted for the
varsity four event to be followed three
years later by the change in the main
contest of the regatta. r

It is practically certain that when
the new amateur rule is brought be-
fore the main body it will be of such
a drastic character, that a comprom9a
measure will be suggested to the ef-
fect that the amended rule should not
be retroactive.
A change in the system of holding
