SAN DIEGO MAN
ON LONG TRIP
FROM PACIFIC TO ATLANTIC
IN A REQ
Running Time for Twenty-nine Hum
bred Miles from San Diego
to Chicago Twenty
Days

A trip across the American continent
from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic
in a two-cylinder REQ roadster is the
stunt undertaken by George Pierce of
San Diego and his wife. who arrived
in Chicago last week after a 290O-mile
Journey which was beset with difficult
ties which would have tried the mettle
of even the New York-Paris racers.
Mr.. Pierce disposed of his interest in
San Diego and decided to return to
New York, and the motor trip appealed
to him.
In no hurry, he pursued a leisureiy
course across the continent, stopping at
several cities, but averaging about 100
miles a day when on the road. His
actual time for the 1900 miles to Chi
cago was twenty days and his course
carried him through Los Angeles, Sac
ramento, Carson City, Ogden, Cheyenne,
Omaha and Council Bluffs, His car is
shod with Michelins, and until he got
past the rough going he had on tire
castings He got his first puncture at
Omaha. The only mishap to his car
was when a rock broke the apron while
running through Nevada. The sage
brush bothered him some, and he re-
lates of more than one instance where
he had to run twenty-five miles at a
stretch on his low gear because of these
weeds on the crown of the road.

WHITE PARTY ENCOUNTER
transform ON A TOUR

Frank Oswald had rather unlocked
for experience while touring in his
White steam car Wednesday and
Thursday with a party of friends in
the Soledad and San Francisquito
canyons. In the party were Frank
Oswald, Billy Webster, Hugh McDon-
aid and Jimmy Humpal. They left
here at p. m. Wednesday evening
for business trip and little hunting
near Fairmont. From the other side
of San Fernando they were in the
rainstorm most of the way Humpal
did excellent work in plotting the
party through the Soledad canyon in
the darkness and during the storm
and landing them at Lancaster early
Thursday morning. After a short stay
at Fairmont the party started home
through the San Francisquito canyon.
On account of the storm they did no
hunting other than shoot jacI1rabbits
from the car. Tho road home was
very rough and slippery and in several
places it was necessary for the White
to ford streams up to the bed of the
machine.

HARD MUD RUN
HARVEY DROVE THE RECORD
BREAKER IN RAIN
EXPERIENCED BAD ROAD COMING

BY FREDERIC PARsr

After lowering the Los Angeles to
San Diego and return record to IL
hours and 81 minutes l.. B. Harvey and
his Rambler had an exciting return trip
in the rain. OF all the record breaking
trips he has made Mr.. Harvey says he
never gave the machine such hard work
as he did in the fight against the main
and mud from Capistrano to Los An
geles.
Thursday morning the sky was bright
and cheerful in San Diego. There was
no sign of threatening clouds, and be-
ing anxious to get back to the city
Harvey, with Fred Roberts, started up
the coast road He hummed right
along, making fine time to Oceanside.
Beyond Oceanside the sky became
cloudy and there was every sign OF
rain.
Seeing this 1 let it out a few
notches," said Harvey in telling of the
trip. 81 didn't have any chains, and
rain was the last thing wanted to see.
1.-THE sky became more threatening,
but no rain fell and I began to take
hope. But at Capistrano 1t began to
mist. This was not SO bad, but as l
hurried along the mist turned into
light rain and the road became slip
perry. Running DeCdIuc ulhiSuies Doe
kept plugging along, hoping that
might be able to work out of the
drizzle. A good hard, pounding rain
wouldn't have been so bad for the road.
could have made progress In deep
mud, but instead of mud soon had a
slippery surface upon which a man had
difficulty in standing.
Having no chains / was strictly up
against 1t, and 1t became harder and
harder to make any progress L tried
to get some ropes to tie around my
tires but the best could do was four
feet. had to awaken farmer to get
that.
81 really began to believe the roads
in this end of the state are made OF
soap. The car slid about from side to
side and many a skid took me into
ditch at the side of the highway.
TT was a fight ana a struggle, but
after hours of slow progress we got
back to Los Angeles"
The car was covered with mud and
attracted much attention when placed
on exhibition at w. K. Cowan's Ram
bier salesroom.
BY lowering the round trip record
the Rambler gets the Chanslor & Lyon
trophy, which goes to the car holding
that record.

COLONEL FENNER
CONGRATULATED
BALDY VICTORY THIRD FOR

ALREADY PREPARING FOR THE
RACE NEXT YEAR
Contest Is One of the Most Unique
In the World-NoWhere Is
There Such
Road

Colonel F.. G. Fenner, head of the
White garage and owner of the White
steamer which raced to victory last
Sunday over the Mount Badly course,
has been all smiles the past week. In
cidentally he has been gathering up
the money won on the race, and when
Captain H. D. Ryus, who drove the
winning car, returns from the east :
there will be a banquet to duly cele-
brate the third victory of the White.
Congratulations have been shoWered :
upon Colonel Fenner and Captain
Ryus.
II am proud of this race" said the
colonel. my car was first to go over
the course, and the boast 1 made three z
years ago that no car could go over
the road faster than my White Is still
good. / have beaten everything have
gone against during the past three
years, and 1 will be prepared to go
against all Corners in 1910.
81 want to state definitely that this
race will be held next year. 1t has
become one of the big events OF the
year on the coast and we stand ready
to defend our supremacy against the
automobile world"
This is one of the most unique motor
car races held in the world. The VAN
derbilt and Grand Prix over the
smooth courses with fine roads and
good turns are easy compared with
this hundred-mile dash over desert and
mountain roads.
The grade up North Badly to the
Fenner mine on the top is one of the
hardest as we'll as one of the steepest
in the west. Colonel Fenner has
climbed it hundreds of times with
Black Bess, and he naturally believes
and is willing to bet that no car can
beat him to the mine.
| Coupled with his car he has Captain
| H. D. Ryus, one of the best race driv-
ers in the west. to do the driving.
| Should he desire to drive the colonel
! could show a fast pace himself. as
he has several records. .s

for the race next year H. o. Harri-

Maxwell of San Francisco, the new
Pacific coast manager.
1.-THE tire and the automobile indus
tries are in good condition throughout
the country" he said. 1.-THE automo-
bile output this year will be increased
to far greater extent than the trade
has any idea, and naturally the de-
mand for tires will be greater. We
have been able to put lower price on
tires on account of the increased facili-
ties for manufacture and the decrease
in the price of raw material. can see
no reason why prices should advance
unless the price of raw material goes
up.
1T also find the demand for motor
cycle and bicycle tires increasing. We
are putting out new clincher types
which are popular.

SEEKS TO LOWER
SCALE OF WAGES
Southern Railway Calls Upon
Arbitration Board Under
Erdman Act.

Washington, Feb 25.-Because of a
failure to reach an agreement in re-
spect to the matter of a reduction of
WAGES of the employees of the Southern
Railway company, the negotiations
have been broken off, and President
Finley announces that he will carry
the case to the interstate commerce
commission and to Commissioner Of
Labor Neill. under the Erdman act
President Finley today gave out a
statement i'm which he expressed con-
fdence that there will yet be an ami
cable adjustment of the controversy
between the Southern railway and it's
men, and expresses regret that the lat
ter cannot see their way clear to ac-
cepting the wage scale which the man
agement has offered
The intended action of the Southern
railway in seeking the mediation of the
interstate commerce commission and
the commissioner of labor is regarded
as marking the beginning of a cam
paign upon the part of the railroads
when such controversies arise to seek
adjustment in that manner, rather
than to negotiate with their employees.
The proposition of the management
of the Southern railway to reduce the
wage scale was based, it As stated, upon
the ground that the existing business
conditions and the falling off in revenue
made it imperatively necessary. With
that object in view, conferences have
been going on for two weeks or more
between officials of the Southern rail-
way and representatives of the en-
ployes affected, which involved the To-
connective engineers and firemen and
machinists and other shopmen. 1t was
proposed to restore the wage scale
which was in effect a year ago.

Much Dissatisfaction Over Result of

There is much dissatisfaction over the

bonds for the purpose of building new

" is this true of those who fathered the
proposition. They assert that the election
was lost on account of the people at
large not being acquainted with the facts
and there is some talk of resubmitting
the question to another vote. 1t is claimed
that the problem Of what the board Of
education is to do without a new hign
school is a complex one. Already the
school is filled to its capacity and with
the large number that will be advanced
to that building this spring there will be
no place TO take care of them. Without
building a new high school the board
Will be forced to build at least one new
grade school during the summer, and this

in no way be of benefit to the high
school. The matter will probably be
brought up for discussion at the next
session of the board on Friday even
