TRII* IN AUTO SEED
Yesterday morning Robert Sheldon
rthe king of the auto men, left Fair
banks for Chitina on a trial trip
with his new auto sled. For two
months now Bob has been working
on this auto sled, and he thinks he
has perfected one that will make
traveling between here and the coast
during the winter months a very sim
ple matter.
This auto sled is Sheldon's bug
with which he entered the Labor Day
races, and is fixed on runners driven
by a drive wheel from behind, which
grips the snow. This sled draws sev
eral trailer double enders, on which
the passengers and freight are car
ried.
Several dayB ago Sheldon made a
short trip out the Valdez trail and
brought in an auto left out there last
falL tie found on this trip that bia,
new machine could make fifteen miles
an hour.
Sheldon took several passengers,
with him yesterday and expects to
make the coast without trouble and
begin his regular schedule again Just
ah in the turfriher tltte.—Fairbanks
