"THIS IS A STUDEBAKER YEAR"

News of more "flintn" entablishcd
by Studebaker cars has Jut bten re-j
ceivea by Wallace liroH., local uiBinu-
utors of Studebaker cars.
A dispatch from Nevada City. Ne

to come over the Yuba Pass under its
own power thla year wag a Studeba
ker, carrying Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Lis
ter, of Boise Valley, Idaho, and their
children, together with camping:
equipment weighing nearly 500
pounds. They were en route from
I their home to Southern California,
'and essayed the difficult trip ever the
Yuba l'ass without experiencing trou
ble. '
From Spokane, Washington, comes
ithe report of another Studebaker, pi
loted by J. II. Collins, of Colvilie, ac
companied by his wife, who drove
their car to Seattle and established the
record of first crossing the Snoqualmie
Pass. There is always - considerable
interest In the flint car to come over
this pass leading over the Cascade
range, as it is usually blocked with
snow until late In the season. Upon
leavinir Seattle Mr , Collins was told
'that the pass would not be open, but
he determined to set out and go as far
las he could. On the summit h was
held up nearly an hour waiting for
workmen to let him through. He en
countered more than eight miles. of
l snow In making the ascent, and had
to resort to chains in negotiating this
; stretch.
Tq a, Studebaker car has gone the
honor o'f replacing the malamute dogs
and horse stages away up in the far
northern snow-covered country of
Alaska. It is a touring car, too, that
is doing this Job and It is being oper
ated by Jack Callins, a "sour dough"
on the route of Anchorage, Alaska.
Latest reports state that the car is
proving Its ability to travel anywhere
the malamute dogs and horse stages
can co. and to cover the ground In
one-third the time.

TAMPICO FIELD REPORT
EOI
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 10. (I. N. S.)
If all reports coming here from
iTampico are true, great numbers of
Important new oil wells .are being
brought in at Amatlan and elsewhere
in the oil district. Some of the gush
ers are reported to be producing 150,
000 barrel of oil a day. It is nothing
to hear of new wells yielding 30,000
barrels a day.
Practically all of the new wells are
on properties belonging to the great
producing companies. It Is known
that these, companies have been doing
much drilling, and oil men here be
lieve that the reports concerning new
wells are substantially true, with the
nossibillty of some exaggeration as to!
the amount of the dally production.
One of the companies which is re
ported to have brought in a spectac
ular gusher Is the Tidemex and this
was particularly interesting news to
oil men because of the rather un
lucky history of this company in Mex
ico. It Is allied In a way with the
Tidewater Oil Company and entered
the Tampico region with almost lim
itless financial resources and with oil
experts of every description.
The company acquired extensive
and valuable property and outlined
an ambitious- program, which includ
ed the building of a railroad, pipe
lines, an extensive terminal, tank
farms and refinery.
' Because the oil property ' of tho
company was looked upon as valuable
and because the Tidemex managers
were recognized experts In their line,
it was expected that the Tidemex
would quickly become one of the great
producing companies of Mexico. But
the first' well of the company -was a
disappointment. The drills reached
salt water, and work was stopped.
This .was at the time of reports that
the oil f'eld was narrowing to a small
strip and is said to have caused
changes in the plans of the company
Drilling was continued, however.
Now comes the report that the Tide
mex has brought In a gusher, produc
lng 150,000 barrels a day.
If the well is as great as described,
oil men say. the Tidemex probably will
go ahead with its extensive plans
which call for the spending of mil
lions.

Why They Choose the Paige
Since the first of the year more than 25 per cent of our
sales have replaced cars of much higher price.
Buying habits have changed. Men who can afford five
and six thousand dollar cars have developed a canny
shrewdness. They have learned that peak price no
longer guarantees peak performance or maximum value.
This conviction is brought home to them when they
compare the Paige with the cars that carry the biggest
price tags. Power, endurance, comfort, beauty and
economy-in any and every test the Paige 6-66 is
triumphant. Tbat is why discriminating Suyers are
choosing the Master of the Highway as the -greatest
value oh the market today.
