NOV INC PICTURES
TO SHOW. AUTO
SPEED FEST
BY r. r. I'FIofr,rnedieu

The moving pictures of the run
made by Fernando Nelson in his Co
lumbia automobile from this city to Los
Angeles, i'm eighteen hours and thirteen
minutes, are to be shown this evening
atFthe Colonial Theater. They are the
most realistic pictures of racing au7

Obispo, where the. 1car stopped to
change drivers. The scene opens as the
car appears DOWN the road, a mere
speck of a dust cloud. Out of this cloud
suddenly shoots the swaying car. The
next second 1T comes to a stop in front
of the camera, where the relief drivers
are standing There is an exciting
scramble of men, some filling the gaso-
line tank, others putting in water and
cooling the tires NeIsop and Ralph
Mcleod, the Diamond tire man, take
advantage of the rest to swallow a few
sandwiches. A few moments later the
a cheer the car. dashes off down the
road, to be lost in cloud of dust.
From the different models of 1907
cars seen on the streets and from the
reports from the automobile show held
recently in New York. II is apparent
that there is veryeli little difference in
the outward appearance of the new
models. There is scarcely any change
in the lines from the models of last
year The difference is found when the
end engine and. driving gear are ex-
amined. The lines of the cars have now
ciple will not be departed from.
The touring cars have reached the
limit of capacity when seven persons
are carried. to putsmore In an automo-
bile would make 1t a bus
From the cars exhibited in the last
show it was learned that the favorite
is a touring machine of light weight,
ranging from 1900 to 1000 pounds, with
cape top and seating five passengers.
The builders are putting in better
material in the cars this year than they
have heretofore used. This has re-
suited In a more easy riding machine.
Better wheels and tires are used. The
wheels are nearly all OF wood and the
tires are made larger and of better
material On the engine and driving
gear the manufacturers have conferred
their attention. They have greatly i'm
proved the cars in this respect. There
seems to be move toward a shaft
drive. although many of the cars have
the chain drive. In the latter case
there has been a mprovement-there is
less noise than ever before. The use
of ball bearings on the front wheels is
becoming popular. The roller bearings
are to be seen on the rear wheels of
most of the cars. All the improve
.ments tend to make a more durable
car and one that will do better work.
This is pleasing to the buyers of San
Francisco. inasmuch as the work re-
quired of a car in the city Is the most
trying that can be imagined.

There is one fact that is becoming
evident in San Francisco, and that is
that the city should hold an automobile
show. Before the fire in April there
was but limited number of cars rep
resented on the coast and there was
no disposition on the part OF Eastern
makers to look to San Francisco as q
prospective field for cars But since
then conditions have changed and the
demand has increased several fold.
That the Ea stern makers realize this IL
shown by the establishment Of many
new agencies Competition will in
crease with time and this viii result in
the city holding an automobile show
From present indications It now looks
as II the show will take place in the
late fall Of next year or the early
spring OF 1908. None OF the makers
now making a bid In the local market
can afford to keep out Of 1t. That will
mean that those who contemplate buy
ing cars will not have to travel to the
Atlantic Coast to see what is offered.

to Ogden that they were r0oming AT

nue., up until about q month ago when
Lockhart left there and secured a
room az another place. For a long
time past Crawford knew that Lock-

threatened his life. a Few days ago
Mrs. Bralswell told Crawford that
Lockhart had told her he was going

under a tree near the roominghouse

KIN him, but he did not return home
that night hence escaped. Three days
