Makes Good Attempt
H. E. Gilley made very creditable
try for the record with an Autocar
touring car on Wednesday, but two
unavoidable accidents put him out of
the running too long to give him any
chance of winning on his first trial for
the cup.
Twenty-Five miles this side of Ocean
side an arm broke off the steering
knuckle and the party of five had to
get out in the rain and make tem-
porary repair. AS the arm was broken
off short at the shoulder and could not

the hole and wedged with bolts pulled
out of tire lugs. Barbed wire was
then borrowed from nearby fence
and the broken arm wired to the han
die of the wrench. After an hours
delay the car began it's journey once
more, only very slowly.

Two hours and thirty-six minutes

Smith roadster, carrying as passengers
The Herald's automobile writer ana
another newspaper man.
The record was established by capt.
H. d. Ryus with a White steamer
touring car and to promote interest IN
the contest Chanslor & Lyon offered
a handsome silver cup as a perpetual
trophy.
Capt. Ryus said he did not try to put
II too low so that 1t would be possible
to be gotten by a greater number or
cars.
AS the former record of nine hours
between San Diego and Los Angeles
made by Renton with the Great smith
roadster was cut an hour by Capt.
Ryus when he set the round trip rec
ord. Renton was anxious to go after
the Chanslor & Lyon cup.
Leaving the Alexandria hotel at five
minutes after o'clock Saturday morn
ing he sent his car over the coast
route to San Diego in five hours and
twenty mine minutes, or just three
minutes less than the time Of the
White and only forty-two minutes
slower than the record claimed by the
Thomas Detroit, which was made as
racing event and not as touring
record.
On the return trip the time was six
hours and forty-six minutes. or one
hour and eighteen minutes less than
the time of the White.
The White steamer stopped in San
Diego thirty three minutes for lunch
con and gasoline, while the Great
Smith lost only thirteen minutes there,
making a gain of twenty minutes over
the elapsed time of the White.
iRenton's record is all the more re-
markable because he had no trouble
of any kind on the whole trip that
necessitated stop or delay. A stop
was made at San Diego for gasoline
and checking being the only one be-
tween Los Angeles and the bay city.
The next stop after leaving San
Diego was at Elsinore for the same
purposes. From Elsinore the car ran
| to Los Angeles without another stop.
The roads are in bad shape in some
places for fast driving and several
miles of freshly oiled road We're en-
| countered where the oil was still un-
covered. All of that road was on the
coast route, but on the inland route
a long stretch of deep dust was en-
countered, through which the machine
could be sent only slowly. on account
| of the tendency to skid out of the
deep wheel ruts.
Strictly Stock Car
AS in the case of the White the

One of the conditions imposed OF

The roadster with which Renton
made the trip had just been run TO
San Francisco by the coast route anu
return by the way of Fresno ana
hauled on its return, as 1t was running
as we'll as could be desired.
The set OF Goodrich tires had Deen
run 1900 miles previous to the northern
trip, which made their mileage 5zoo
One puncture was made on the trip
north and with that exception no tire
trouble was had on the 1O00-mile run
On that same set of tires Renton drove
the car on it's record run to san Diego
without the slightest trouble ana tne
tires appear to be in as good condition
as when they started for San Fran
cisco.
No water or oil was taken on the SZO
miles made Saturday; gasoline belng

the Great Smith holds a quart and the
mechanical feed maintains the leVel

opened at the end of the trip 1t was
found that the motor had used only
pint and a half of lubricant for the en-
tire round trip.
The running time for the car was
twelve hours, which makes an aver
age of twenty-sfx and half miles an
hour for the 31S miles shown on the
odometer.
That the record can be lowered was
shown by the slow running over rougn

Makes Good Appearance


He is a gentlemanly little fellow, al
ways smiles and never frowns, affects
no unusual garments and does not
talk like Bowery tough. His frank
wholesouled disposition wins friends
for him everywhere and If he has any
faults in his makeup none appear on
the surface. His countenance is un-
marked in any manner to show that
he ever had fight. The absence of
the inevitable and unsightly cauli-
flower ear of the average fighter is a
testimonial to his perfect defensive
tactics in a fight and his general ap-
pearance Is that of a youth filled with
life and health and happy dispo-
sition. He neither drinks, smokes nor

His opponent, Freddie Welsh, Is the
opposite of Packy In disposition, hab-
its and style of fighting, yet similar in
many ways. He never was defeated
until he fought Packy ten rounds at
Milwaukee recently. and it was be-
cause of the decision of Malachi Ho-
| gan, the referee, that Packy had won,
that caused the rumpus which ended
in the city officials notifying the fight
promoters that Hogan, could. not ref
cree in Milwaukee again. Welsh and
Packy put up such an even battle that
praise and criticism of the referee car
be read in proof that the fight was a
hummer all the way and Welsh ha6

Welsh Is Clever Boxer
Welsh Is a superlatively clever boxel

short end of any purse he has fought
for. In the four years that ne mas

seven battles, and no opponent ever
was lucky enough to get as good as a
draw with him. Thirty-four opponents
have gone to defeat via the knockout
route and his record OF forty-seVen
fights is 244 rounds, or an average Oh
slight fraction more tiidi HFo ioohoS

He is a whirlwind fighter, clever In
the art and a furnishing battler who
always leaves his mark upon his op-
ponent. He Is natural fighter, loves
the game as a business man loves MS
business and unless he changes ms
mind he will not retire from the ring
until he is superannpated.
Packy Is not a fighter for revenue

With no chance for any record the
balance of the trip was made leisurely,
the party reaching Los Angeles the
next day at noon.
The run OF the Great Smith from
Pomona to Los Angeles was one OF
the fastest runs made considering the
road conditions, as the thirty-four
miles were covered at the rate of thirty
miles per hour, and in Los Angeles
the speed limit was closely adhered to-.
Another stretch that permits of fast
running is between Santa Ana and
San Juan. Through the Irvine ranch
a speed of forty miles an hour is safe
and possible on account of the long,
straight stretches and smooth roadway.
The running time to the principal
towns is as follows:

The Two- Way Plolo.

From the time the old side-hill plow
was first made until the present there
has been a growing demand for plow
that will turn the furrow either to the
right or to the left. The side-hill plow
has done very good work in its place,
but it is worthless on level land. This
type of plow has but single mould
board, which is invertible, that is,
when one side is up, the furrow is
turned to the right, and when the other
side is up, the furrow is turned to the
left. With Pow of this kind the op-
orator is able to begin plowing at the
bottom of hill across the slope and
turn all burrows down, the slope aiding
in the operation.
At present there are several plow
manufacturers making what is called
the two-way plow. This is made in
both the mould-board and disc types.
With it the operator is able to plow
level land as well as hillside land. 1t
is often of double plow construction:
one plow turns the furrow to the right,
and is used but one way across the
field; the other turns the furrow to the
left, and is used in the opposite direc-
ton.
The disc is usually made reversible,
one disc doing the work in either direc-
tion by simply changing its angle.
These two-way plows are somewhat
heavier and slightly more complicated
than the ordinary one-way plow. For
many conditions, they have several
points of advantage as follows:
First. all the plowed land is kept in
one body.
Second, the grounn is left in practi-
cally as level condition after plowing
as it was before. There are no back
burrows or dead burrows. The opera
tor begins work on one sine of the field
and finishes the entire field as he goes.
Third, there is no extra travelling
across the ends.
Fourth, the ground is left in excel
lent condition for irrigation conditions.

Montrose Press Compares

And here are few of the reasons
why Delta can put in as many or more
improvements without saloons and for
less taxes than can Montrose with
saloons: Delta county in the past
four years paid District Attorney Hugo
Selig two hundred dollars; in the same
period Montrose county paid him one
thousand dollars, and Delta county has
several good sized towns and has more
people than this county.
From September l, 1907, to Septem-
ber 2s, 1908, in the police court in the
city of Delta there were six criminal
cases; in the same period in the court
of Judge j. w. Howe in Montrose there
were one hundred and two cases.
Why this difference? Are we will
ing to say here in Montrose that we
have worse citizenship than Delta
has?
Would 1t require much mental effort
to figure out why Delta can enjoy lower
taxes than we?
that business conditions there are so
much better without saloons that they
would go down into their pockets and
pay the amount of license which the
saloons paid rather than have them in
the town again.
1t can be set down as an absolute
truth that the people who are attracted
to town because the town has saloons
are not the most desirable citizens
Many good people locate in town in
spite of the saloonss but the best class
does not come because of the saloons.
The town will stagnate and cease to
grow" is another falsehood that is ac-
cepted by many people just as it is
dished out by the saloon interests.
Your attention is directed to anyone of
your acquaintances who has m; d tr p
to Delta during the past twelve months
for information as to the extent which
banishing the saloons has retarded the
growth of that town: 1t is one of the
fastest growing towns on the western
slope. A few days ago The Daily Press
contained news item from one of the
Delta newspapers that told of the build
ing of a splendid new business block to
house one of the banks. Other building
projects were mentioned, and the item
said that Delta would soon have a solid
brick business section. The banks of
any community are accurate barometers
of the business conditions in that com:
munity, and if a Delta bank finds It
necessary to spend many thousands of
dollars to provide new home for their
rapidly growing business isn't it folly
for people to accept as gospel truth the
false statements of those who say
Delta's business future is ruined be-
cause she fired out the saloons. When
some one springs statement like that
you owe it to your own interests to in-
vestigate the facts before you allow |
the bare statement to sway you into a |
course of action that directly affects
your welfare.
