a portion of Marysville is under water.
The Mormon Island bridge across the

at Fair Oaks is two and one-half feet
under water. but may stand. as the
river is now falling. At the Folsom
State Prison two guardhouses were
swept away. At Sacramento no danger
is feared. as the levees are in good con.
dition. The situation at Stockton, how

local streams are higher than for years.

iuto the San joaquin. The towns Of
Woodbridge and Lincoln are in danger

under water. and the wheat aud barley

point has been passed. Some Of the
stores and buildings of the town are
flooded and much damage will be done.

loss of life has yet been reported.

1t was only three or four short years
ago when the cone clutch was used to the
practical exclusion of other types. 1t is
still used successfully. ON several we'll
known cars. The general tendency, how
ever, for 1908 seems to be toward the
multiple disc clutch. Only in the past
year, however, las there been a general
turn from the cone to the disc clutch. Tit
multiple disc clutch has been a. feature OF
the Maxwell car since 1908, when the first
experimental car was turned out in De-
troit. In speaking of its advantage, ]. D..
Maxwell, vice-president of the Maxwell
Briscoe Motor Car Company, says:
The multiple disc clutch is superior to
the cone clutch for several reasons. In
the first place, the friction surface can
be increased at will, either bX increasing
the diameter Of the plates or by increasing
the number. In fact, the working load.
per square inch on the clutch Is no greater
than tha on any other working part.
Another feature of the multiple disc
clutch is that it is small-it can be en-
tirely encased, and run in a bath of oil.
1t does moi wear, and if properly made,
does not slip. To my mind the multiple
disc clutch has completely solved the
clutch problem, and this statement is
easily verified by glancing around at those
companies : which, although they were
using the cone clutch only a few years
ago, now are using, almost without excep-
ton, clutches of the disc type"

SPECIAL AUTO TRACK.
Belief That It Can Be Made a Financial
Success.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The announcement
that a syndicate had bought 100 acres of
land near Westbury. L.. l., upon which
an automobile race track would be built,
caused considerable discussion along auto
mobile row yesterday. A number of ra-
cling enthusiasts declared their belief that
such an undertaking could be made auc-
~cessful, as racing on a large circular course
Is more attractive to a great many persons
than road racing, because the ears may
be seen by the spectators more frequently
on such a course than when the grand
stand Is situated alongside a stretch of
about half a mile altogether during an en-
tire round of a twenty.eight or thirty
mile circuit. Those who were optimistic
I : Ita the proposed Sndertaking' called Led
Morris Park Motordrome has been a
marked success this year, so far as the
attendance Of spectators is concerned, as
was shown by the thousands of specta-
tors who witnessed the start of the TWEEN

suitable for high speed automobiles, but
there can be little doubt that a race

u great many spectators. The proposed
course near Westbury would have an adj
vantage in that 1t is within comparatively
easy driving. distance Of New York and
Erooklyn and that q number of good roads
in that direction from the city. Tray
elers who have returned from England say
that the greatest handicap to the success
OF the Brooklands track is that no good
roads lead to 1t from London. but the pro-
Jeoted track at Westbury would not he

are there several good, wide roads leading
from Brooklyn and Long leland City, but
the course would be located within a few
miles OF the homes of thousands of auto
