AS a jTuiiie to pcrs )iis 

 luit familiar with the 

 reservation, and as a means 

 of conveying to strangers 

 information with regard to 

 its limits, there have ijeen 

 erected on the outskirts of 

 the Ashley National Forest 

 in Utah, at points where 

 main roadway's enter it, 

 maps showing the boun- 

 daries, roads, trails, 

 streams, lakes, and other 

 points of interest within 

 the forest. The maps are 

 enclosed in glass-covered 

 frames and are attached to 

 sign-boards where copies 

 of notices and regulations concerning 

 the reservation are displa\'ed. 



On each map a tack indicates its 

 position with regard to the reservation.

End-Door Automobile Express Cars 



FREQlfENT recourse is made to the 

 express service for shi(>[)ing auto- 

 mobiles and motor trucks as rapidK- as 

 possible in emergency cases. Detroit 

 manufacturers, for instance, usually send 

 their new model cars in this way,

Cars with end-doors for shipping motor- 

 trucks by express 



Usually wait for their arrival in Netv 

 York, gasoline can in hand, taking- the 

 cars as fast as they can be remo\'ed from 

 the express trucks. 



One express compan\- has emphtyed 

 specially constructed cars built with two 

 swinging doors that permit loading from 

 the end. Automobiles can l)e put into 

 the cars under their own power on a 

 rising platform, or the\- can be pushed 

 in, on the level platform. 



One of the largest trucks handled in 

 an express car was a five-ton dum[)ing 

 cart, sent recently by a Los Angeles 

 automobile concern to a mining company 

 at Tucson, Arizona. On account of the 

 iiigh prices paid for all kinds of mineral, 

 the mine operators were working their 

 properties night and day. 



Three hours after the order was re- 

 ceived, the truck was loaded into an end- 

 door express car by its own power and 

 went out on a train lea\-ing at 3 o'clock. 

 The next morning, it reached Tucson, 

 with an express charge of S41K) attached. 

 It was so badly needed th.it the first 

 twents-four hours' use of the truck paid 

 for the transportation expenses.
