FLY TELLS
OF ROUGH TRIP IN
E
.Tack Williams, the Human Fly, la
very fond of the Dodge automobile,
and the reason for that fondness Is
due to a trip that he made In one
from Denver, Colo., to Salt Lake City
thru one ot the roughest parts of
the country to which an automobile
was ever Introduced. Ills account of
the trip follows and brings to light
eomo unusual points In the Dodge's
favor. ;
"We left Denver In a Dodge head
ed for Salt Lake City last July, not
knowing what was In store for us
on the way. No special arrange
ments were made for a tedious trip
as we expected to be able to makej
too inp in hi icasi two utoa,
mileage being something orer 600
and allow me to say right here that
had It not been for the exceptionally
easy, riding qualities of the Dodge
l would at the present moment be a
permanent guest ot Wyoming's pret
tiest insane asylum as I did not
know . that a . car .could do. all the
things that car was called . upon to
do on that trip and have enough of
it left to make a rolling pin for the
spider family.
' "After leaving the little "city of
Laramie, Wyo., we began -.. turning
that poor little Dodge first into a
submarine and then into a biplane of
tbo clear air type. The road was not
broad and should never have been
called a road. It sounds funny to
hear some people of tho state of Ore
gon cuss the roads here. I dare say
had they been with us on that trip
they would have a great deal less to
iay about the roads in this state
But that isn't telling what happened
to us.
"About 10 miles out of Laramie
the highway started up an incline as
though it was peacefully going to
cross the railroad. Arrived .at -the
top we could not see where to go
from there. Apparently the highway
ended right there. After 15 minutes
spent in looking around for the road
we had lost, we discovered that in
stead of crossing the railroad. It
wasn't a real railroad, but it was an
abandoned one that we were to drive
that Dodge along over those holes
that once upon a time had been .filled
with ties, and for thirty mile3 we did
nothing but bump the bumps.'-Added
to. this was the misery of 'a hot sum-'
mer day on the prairie. After about?
Blx hours of this kind of treatment
wo began to descend into then-valley.
and you may be sure that it wasn't a
rood that we had been following. It
was filled with ruts and washouts
varying In depth from six Inches to
three feet,1 making it impossible to
drive faster than 10 miles an hour,
and wo had 150 miles to go over,
nearly all in the same condition.
. "As we had nothing to eat and no
water it was necessary to keep go
ing all night as there were no farms
or ranches in that part of the wilder
ness, only four fools and a little
Dodge. About JO o'clock that night
we struck a good little trail and the
driver started to speed her up.. Wish,
boom, crash! .And fifteen minutes
-later I woke to find that one wheel
had run off an embankment and the
Dodge was bottom side up. iXice pre
dicament for Human Fly and a
Dodge. Well, wd all got around the
thing and turned It right side np
after a superhuman effort, the driver
, got In, pushed the started and there
. sounded the prettiest little purr, and
that little Dodge just ran right off
as If nothing had happened without
even a puncture. About 4 o'clock
next afternoon we arrived at Salt
Lake City." Well, it is onlynatural
that I should like a Dodge after such
trying conditions." - -: '-s
