MITCHELL MAKES A
RUN TO COACHELLA
James causey and w. T. Reynolds
Made the Run Last Week, Start
ing from MonroVia and
Going Via Banning

James Causey of Monrovia and w.
T. Reynolds of Los Angeles made
trip last week to Coachella in Mr.
Causey's Mitchell runabout, leaving
Monrovia at o'clock in the morning
and going by way of San Bernardino.
Redlands Junction, Beaumont and ar
irving at Banning at 8 a. m. They
lunched at White Water ranch, thirty
three miles this side of Coachella, at
11:30 a. M, leaving there at l O'CLOCK.
They reached Coachella at p. m.
Mr.. Causey reports the roads very
good as far as Banning with no grades
which required them to pull out of the
high gear. From Banning to Whlte
Water ranch roads are fairly good, but
slow travelling was necessary on ac-
count of rocks and sand. From White
Water ranch to Indian Wells white
sand was encountered, which made
slow travelling.
On the return trip the road from
White Water ranch to Banning is very
heavy on account of the loose white
sand and a heavy grade, but Mr.
Causey states that any of the four
cylinder cars need have no hesltancy
in making this trip.
on the entire round trip Mr.. Causey
SAYS that their only trouble consisted
in the changing of one spark plug ana
the water was replenished but once at
Banning on the return drive.
Mr.. Causey starts Saturday morning
on a pleasure trip to San Diego with
his Mitchell car and says it Is his in
tention to visit all the points of inter-
est in the southern part of the state.

FROM STODDARD FACTORY

Norman w. Church, the Pacific coast
Stoddard DAYTON agent, is back from
the east after a months visit. he
went from here direct to the good
roads convention at Buffalo. He theh
went to the factory to attend the con-
ven+ion of Stoddard agents at the fac
tory. 1t lasted four days. Everything
nertaining to a motor car was dis
cussed and the affair ended with an
elaborate banquet. Mr.. Church spoke
before the convention on Ihe Future
of the Industry" He took rosy view
of the outlook and was inclined to De
lieve that the present furry over tue
sensational cheap cars Would nave no
effect whatever on the recognized ma
chimes of the reliable and conserVa-
tive factories. .ooo
"Our introduction to the new 1909
models was a unique and pleasing af-
fair" said Mr. Church. I'VE were not
nermitted to see the new cars until
the second day of the convention. we
were then invited to the second floor
of the factory, and spread out be-
fore us was a miniature automoplie
show. All the models We're on exhibl-
ton in the numerous nnlshes. Inere
were tWenty-six cars in all, including
rnnabouts, roadsters, touring cars,

remembered and sent every man away

I'VE will have three models this sea-
son, Our leader will be the 40 horse
power, five-passenger touring car. we
will also have q 80 horsepower, $4,000

tory is putting out in order that we
will have a car to meet any demand
there might develop for these cheap
touring cars. 1t will have 25 horse
power motor and will sell for $1575
"The factory entertained its agents
royalty. There was a good old-time
picnic and an elaborate banquet as a
windup. Seventy-five agents attended
a banquet. We were seated around
an elaborately decorated table. Every
where had been placed cups and tro-
phies which had been won by the
Stoddard cars and in them were beau

ming the low gear will be called into
use.
This mountain grade has not been
used to any great extent lately and is
in very poor condition. Rocks which
have rolled down from the mountain
side are 'strewn over the road, and i'll
some places the track is so narrow a
car has but few inches to spare on
the outside after hugging the bank
with the inside wheels.
After passing the summit and near
ing the finish the road conditions be-
come even worse, and instead of max
ing speed a driver will have to display
care to keep to the road.
In speaking of the forthcoming race
Mr. Shelter said yesterday:
"I wish it distinctly understood that
the Kisselkar which we will use will
be equipped with a strictly stock Az
inch bore by 4A-inch stroke Kisselkar
engine. We shall, however, equip this
car with racing body, take off every
pound of weight that we possibly can
to insure greater speed.
"It may be. of some interest to your
readers to know that the car that we
are going to use is my personal car
with which we hold the Los Angeles to
Bakersfield record in 5 hours, 43 min
utes and the Los Angeles to Newhall
record in AZ minutes fiat. Would like
also to announce the fact that we will
use Goodyear tires with quick detach-
able rims in this race"

MILWAUKEE, PLANS MODEL
ROAD TO COST 100000

Something entirely new in highway
construction is being planned by the
Metropolitan park commission of Mil
waukee, Wis. The county board OF
supervisors will be asked to make an
appropriation to cover the cost of con-
structing a model road from the new
Grand avenue viaduct being con-
structed at a cost of $2,000,OOO to the
Milwaukee county limits. The object
is to experiment with various kinds OF
pavements. The road will be one hum
dred feet wide. A dirt road forty feet
wide will form the center, on which
may be laid street car tracks. Twenty
feet of macadam win be added on each
side. On one side will be left room
for sidewalk and on the other a
pedestrian path from six to ten feet
wide. 1t is planned to build five miles
of the road in 1909. The commission
has representatives watching highway
construction In European countries.

ADVISES TW0-CYLINDER
CARS FOR LONG TRIPS
r. L. Forsyth Points to the San Franz
cisco-Los Angeles Record
Made by the Auburn
Machine

'Do not hesitate taking long tours
in your two-cylinder cars" is the ad-
vice of r. L. Forsyth, the local Auburn
agent.
"I have been asked of late if two
cylinder car should undertake the trip
from Los Angeles to San Francisco" !"
he said. 81 have always advised peo-
pie not to hesitate taking this trip. l
believe experience has shown that a
two-cylinder car will go anywhere a
larger car will, and in many cases
with great deal less trouble.
"Of course, a two-cylinder car
should be put in shape for long tour
lust as any other car. A man who
has given his car much hard usage
should not undertake thousand-mile
tour without knowing that his car is
in shape to stand the trip. This ap-
plies to four as well as two cylinder
cars.
"As to the time which can be made,
take for instance my trip in an Au-
burn from San Francisco to Los An
geles. We came down in twenty hours
and fifty-six minutes, and in all the
record breaking stunts this time has
been beaten but once before by gaso-
line car, and that machine costing
three times the price of my two-cylin-
der car say to owners of tWo-cylin-
der cars, Go wherever any other car
goes. and if you think you can get
there, go where others have feared
to CO."

PeriIous Boating.

On the west coast of Ireland. near
the mouth of the river Shannon. are
several large sea caves which open
into each other. The visitor seems to
be floating through a submarine palace
Of many halls whose roofs are either
as green as grass in the sun or blood
red. But the visitor needs a good
guide and a good boatman. for the sea
is insidious and the labyrinth of caves
intricate. On one occasion, writes Au-
brey de We're in his "RecolectiOns. -
soon after a party had entered the
boatman suddenly shouted, Bend
down your heads for your lives.'
No one saw any danger, but the
boatman felt the placid water insens-
bly, rising and knew that the tide had
turned. At last the visitors knew this,
too, for it was not until the boat had
assembled within a few inches of the
roof that it began to descend
"Pull your bestw exclaimed the man
at the helm. "If the second wave
reaches us, we are lost!' But before
the second wave reached the cave the
boat had issued from its mouth.

Could We Live on Mars?

The physical conditions on Mars are
in many ways intermediate between
those found upon the earth and the
moon, and it seems plausible that the
life existing upon it should similarly
be of higher type than that found on
the moon and of lower type than
that found ut present on the surface of
the earth. Even if the physical condi-
lions. as we understand them, were
equally favorable with those on the
earth. civilization would by no means
he a necessary consequence. Had it
not been settled by Europeans the
United States would still he a wilder
ness. How much less should we hasten
to accord civilization to planet Of
which we know little, except that If
we were transported there ourselves
we should instantly die.-PrOfessor w.

ITO Eat Crow"

Although the use Of the expression
Ito eat crow" in a metaphorical sense,
meaning to eat ones words, may well
have dated from the time of Noah.
when the bird was first looked upon
as uncean and not fit to serve as food
for man, it seems to have arisen from
the old tale of the officer and the pri-
vate.
A soldier, having shot a tame crow

discovered by the owner with the bird
in his hand. Selling the private's gun.
