Root Likes Gasoline.

A. l. Root is one of the most enthusiastic
advocates of the gasoline machines In the
city. He has one of last years models of
the Pope Toledo. which is considered by
many as the finest car in the city. 1t is a
most luxuriously appointed twenty-four-
horse power machine and with 1t Mr.. Root
recognizes no hills. No steamer for me,
said Mr. Root. They may be all right
for those who want them, and probably
are, but I have used gasoline cars for the
last four years and don't see how the sys-
TEN could be improved. The car ! now
own is my second Pope Toledo and is
ready TO so on a minutes notice And j
have yet to find car in Omaha which can
pass me, either on the level or up hill,
There was time when gasoline cars were
unsatisfactory, but year by year the de-
fects have been overcome and man can
now get a car at reasonable price that
will give him lots of pleasure"

OMAHA OWNERS NOT RACERS
Machines Here Are Used for Pleasure
and Business Rather
Than Sport.

Omaha has in use 155 automobiles, which
is a small number in proportion to the
population, much smaller than even Lin
coln but tremendous interest is reported
as being awakened I'm the city and this
year will see the number doubled. Many
excellent rides are to be had from the city.
In the evening in summer time large num-
bers of autos are to be seen at both the
outdoor clubs and Center street. Dodge
street the macadam road to Florence and
the road to Manawa are all favorite drives
from the city.
Omaha auto owners are not much inter-
ested in the racing game for the reason
that no fast foreign made machines are
owned In the city, although many follow
the news of the fast boys who race around
the country. 1t was thought that interest
in races would die out because of the large
number of serious accidents last year and
that the ardor of the fast ones would be
dampened. but this is not the case More
interest was taken in the Ormonde races
this year than before and 1t was an
nounced that even Earl Kiser. who lost a
leg while racing, would again enter the
field.
These high horse power machines with the
lighter frames are not popular in Omaha
because Of the rolling country, which is
rough on the lighter machines The heay-
Ter and slower machines stand the wear
and tear Of the hills better. which makes
the steady, reliable machines more popular
than the lighter and faster
Automobiles have done great deal
toward lettering the roads of this COM
munity as we'll as in other sections of the
country. Men of influence own machines
and when these men go after road repairs
they generally are more apt to be heard
than some single-handed horse owner. The
automobile club OF Omaha appeared before
the park board and secured repairs on
from Fortieth to the beginning OF the maca-
dam.
The year opens under auspices most fav-
orable to the automobile industry. The
country is far more prosperous than ever
before and manufacturers have prepared TO
take advantage OF this fact by having the
their 1906 models out early The finest array
of cars ever offered TO a purchaser will be
seen In the Omaha garages and the buyer
will have the finest lot to choose from that
was ever offered for inspection. The models
are out in advance OF the big eastern
shows. Garages and salesrooms have null
tiplied in Omaha until Farnam street is
know as automobile row. Autos were held
a side line to some other business two
years ago and now Omaha has several
exclusive auto garages The automobile
business is growing all over the country
and In France it is estimated that over
100000 people are engaged in the manufac-
ture, care and repairs OF cars

"Other sport is tame" said Mr.. Dietz.
Some people who never rode in auto

them get into the machine and drive it
