track1ess engines will. he claims, as

traclxless engines will, he claims, as
cend the steep mountain grades with
the greatest ease.
The body of the coach will be about
the size of an ordinary carette, with
seating capacity for IS persons, includ-
ing the driver. 1t will seat IL paSsan-
gers inside, while six more can be ac
commodated on top. A 14-horse power
gasoline engine will furnish the motive
power. The particular merit of this
automobile lies in it's engine, which, it
is the most wonderful ever put into
horseless carriage. The engine is of the
double-cylinder balanced type.
The contract calls for the completion
of the first of the automobiles within so
days. At the expiration of the time
limit the constructors expect to have
the vehicles in readiness to be loaded
on to a Santa Fe fat car and shipped
to Flagstaff. Its efficiency a noun
tain-c1 imber-a feature which was par
ticularly considered by the railroad Of
fetal in the selection of a design-will
be given Immediate test. There is
stretch of 70 miles between Flagstaff
and the destination, and the automobile
is required to make the distance in less
than ten hours, climbing several grades
which exceed II per cent. If this trial
proves successful, the manufacturers
will commence at once to fill the rest or
the contract with the railroad company
which contemplates running a. regular
horseless coach line to Grand canyon,
eventually establishing a hotel there.
Each of the coaches will be furnished
with all the accommodations of a tally
no. The machinery will be entirely hid
den from view in a box over the rear
axle. Under the bed there will be a re-
frigerator. The wheels will be provid-
ed with heavy rubber tires six inches in
width.
The smaller coaches are intended to
make short trips, carrying sight-seers
to points of interest within a dozen
miles of the stage line terminus. They
will be equipped each with an eight
horse power gasoline engine, and will
have a capacity for carrying four to six
persons.
The stage line is to be in operation in
time to furnish transportation to dele
gates to the national school teachers
convention, to be held during the sum-
mer, when 1000 teachers from various
parts of the country will visit Grand
CANYON.

MANUFACTURERS LEAGUE
Is the Strongest Combination of Capt.
tai in the Country.

Cincinnati, O., Jan. 27.-The fourth
annual convention of the National As
ISOLATION of Manufacturers adjourned
last night to meet next January in Bos-
ton.
This association is said to represent
now more capital than any other orga-
nization in the country, not excepting
the National Association of Bankers.
If it's growth continues as it has during
the past four years it will be the strong
est organization of invested interests
IN existence. A movement was inaug-
urated at this convention to increase
the revenues so that the association
will have agencies with warehouses in
all parts of the world.
President Search and the other off,
GERS were reelected and the headquar-
tiers remain in Philadelphia with branch
offices in New York, Boston, Chicago
and Cincinnati.
F. w. Peck, commissioner general to
the Paris exposition, appeared before
the convention. The commissioner gen.
eral and his assistants were in confer
ence with manufacturers about their
exhibits at Paris, and it was reported
last night that more had been done than
has previously been accomplished in
this country in the interests of Ameri-
can displays at the Paris exposition.
AT the afternoon session, the commit
tee on resolutions offered a supplement-
al report, Which was adopted, approving
all the recommendations of the commit
tee on transportation; endorsing house
bill 10,524, for the Improvement of the
delphia exposition next summer and the
international exposition next year at
Caracas, Venezuela; protesting against
the new classification of freight that
went into effect January 1, and insist
ing upon the old minimum weight for a
car load; petitioning congress to i'm
prove the harbors so as to admit larger
vessels.
In accepting the presidency for the
fifth term, Mr. Search explained that in
reaching out for foreign trade with
warehouses and agencies in other coun-
tries, the expenses of the associa ton
were increasing faster than the reve-
nue..
A recess was taken. during which So
members signed a pledge to get two
new members each during the coming
year. As the annual dues are $50, this
would add $500 per year to the treas
ury- 1t is thought that there will be
pledges enough to secure over $40, O00
additional for the year. For the past
year 834 members paid the annual dues
of $50, making a total of $11, 700. If
all of the 1,040 members had paid their
dues, the revenues from this source
would have been 1000.
After the final adjournment a recep-
ton was held at the Grand hotel, at
tended by Governor Bushnell, Mayor
Taft and other officials.
