is extra good just now here, both from
the ocean pier and the bay pier. Some
fish are also being caught from boats
in the bay.
The two and one-half miles of I'M
finished speedway is being surfaced
with six inches of soil, preparatory to
the oiling, all of which will require
about six weeks. When this fine drive
way is completed it will furnish a
smooth and continuous speedway from
Long Beach to this place, and vehicles
can go by way Of the wide, sandy
beach at low tide and return at high
tide on the speedway or vice versa.
One of the 5000-foot waterways of
West Naples is within few feet of
completion, and the monster dredger
will make the turn into the other
waterway next week. The two water
ways, including the turn, which is in
the shape of horseshoe, will make
three miles of the finest straightaway
racing course on the Pacific coast.
The moonlight boating season, which
is so popular a feature of this place
during every summer, has already
commenced; several parties during the
week having taken advantage of the
bright evenings to come for sail on
the bay.
A special car literally crammed with
pleasure party came down this af-
ternoon for sail on the bay. They
will dine at the Channel club house,
after which a moonlight sail will be in
dulged in and dancing until midnight
will complete the days enjoyment.

ing earnestly for nearly an hour. Sud-

one of the men attacked the other with
a knife. After striking his victim sew

AUTO NEWS AND NOTES

Colonel Louis F. Heublin of Hart
ford, Conn.,, has sailed for Europe and
| with the avowed intention of finding
how an American motor car will COM
pare with European cars for reliability
on European roads, took his new
Thomas flyer with him. The car was
Grated at the factory and shipped di-
rect to the dock of the liner on which
the colonel sailed.
Members of the mechanical branch
of the Association of Licensed Auto
mobile Manufacturers were somewhat
surprised at one of the facts brought
| out at q recent meeting of that or
ganization. The question of the final
inspection of cars before shipping was
brought up and during it the repre-
sentative of big auto company told
the other members of the 397 points in
construction and assembling on every
one of his cars that must be examined
and signed for by the final inspector
before the vehicle is considered COM
pleted. The care that is taken in see
ing that everything is just right is
further shown by the fact that one
inspection point may cover a dozen
parts, as for instance the checking up
of running board, which includes an
examination of the board itself, it's
the rivets that connect 1t with the
frame and those that hold it and the
tenders together.
