or three years ago by the HiohGeId Copper Company, which is a very good one, followed the windings Of q seemingly interminable cahop, which we traversed slowly and painfully, emerging in the valley of the San Miguel river about mile below the town. There the road traverses the river bed, on each side dense thickets lIlumin- ated with the flashing lights of myriads of frehies seemed as though scattered with brilliants in marvellous profusion, and almost lighted our toilsome way
 It was ten o'clock when we reached Tuape. We rode up to a hotelito conducted by Dofia Pas quala Robles, a woman of generous girth and proportions suggestive of good living to the uninitiated, and recommendatory of her fare; but we knew already that diet of beans is very fattening, and that her unctuous appearance was de- captive with regard to the extent and variety of her larder. We routed her out and she set about making coffee. Too tired to eat l felt more solicitude about a place to sleep, and while Howard was hustling for hay and grain for the exhausted animals l fixed myself for slumber and was sleeping soundly very shortly after our arrival. 1 asked for a cot, and was informed that they had one, but it was deScompueSto. 1 told them to bring it out and 1 would cure it of its indisposition. It was brought and 1 discovered that the only trouble was that the nut was miss ing from one of the bolts holding together the crossed legs at one end. Without any repair whatever 1t was perfectly safe to use; but to make good my word to fix it l gra bbed one end of the lariat on one of the saddles, close at hand spread upon the cot my saddle pad and blankets, dropped down upon them without removing any of my wear, and with nothing over me but the canopy of heaven 1 fell immediately into profound and dreamless sleep. Only once in the night was 1 awakened, and that was by the batter of rain drops; I was vet so tired that 1 was utter 1 lv indifferent to a matter of little water. and fell to sleep again inn mediately. 1 gave 1t hardly a thought, and what little 1 did think was that it was only a pass ing shower and would not amount to anything anyway; thought that was borne out by the fact when I awoke in the morning Everything was perfectly dry.

WAYSiDE NOTES
"1he Oasis" Editor Makes Short Trip Beyond the San Miguel River In the Vicinity of Tuspe.

Tuesday or last Wteh, CdII ylDg his saddle and accoutrements, THE OASIS editor went to Que robabi, station on the line of the Sonora railway, to make trip with MT. Frank H. Howard, who had gone down on Monday to engage saddle animals for a jour- ney in hand to the properties of the Estrella Mining < Smelling Company, which lie beyond the San Miguel, some ten miles from Tuape, and about forty miles from the railway at the point of depart ure therefrom.
 At the station Mir. Howard was in waiting, and he stated that he had engaged horses, but they had not come in as yet. He proceeded in a futile attempt to hurry the obliging owner, and received reply that there was no hurry-that we could ride to Tuape in four or five hours. Instead of having the horses on hand upon arrival of the train, as agreed, 1t was nearly two hours afterward when they were brought in; and a sorrier looking pair of skates" was never seen. They recalled "Bucephelas" the animated specimen of church architecture" riden by "Orpheus c. Kerr" one of the famous Amer ican humorists of the Civil War period, whose comical descriptions of the movements of the Army of the Potomac enlivened the all too sad and sombre literature of that ghastly time; although those at Querobabi filled more accurately a designation as frames of churches, with their steeples leaning over the front of the structure; and "ani- mated" they were not at all. They were so thin, weak and miserable they could hardly stand; and the man who hired them, together with We who rode them ought to be pro- secuted by the $. P. c. A. Yet their very weakness turned out a blessing as the sequel will show. And instead of taking us to Tuape in four or five hours they were eight mortal hours in the wearisome journey. The writer wished for the famous mule, but she has been out of commission many months, In the pasture of Mir. Francisco Tapia, near Minas Prietas, too far to send for use in a journey so short.
 About four or five leagues out from Querobabi we passed the San Cayetano ranche, and several other ranche properties stretched at in tervals along the arroyo within the distance of league, Each had large corrals and watering troughs for cattle, the water being drawn from wells by buckets, ir each instance the rope running over pulley, with a horse or mule at the business end of the con trlvance and the water dumped into cemented reservoir, whence It drawn, when needed. into 2 long trough at which near one hun dred head of cattle can stand anC drink. In some favorable spots are grain fields irrigated witt water diverted from the drroyo a the flood season, flowing upon th' ground. AS we passed several o these fields there were men blow Ing and planting, in preparation . TOT the summer rains, now due.

MOTORCYCLE CLUB TO
TAKE TRIP TO SAN DIEGO
Members e Organization Plan Endur-
ance Run to Southern City.
Committee Appointed to
Assume Charge

The Los Angeles Motorcycle club
plans to hold an endurance run to
San Diego and return on May 30-31.
A committee composed of ]. II. Shat
er, w. A. Hamm and o. d. Stanton
will select the course which will in
all probability be the coast route. The
run will be under a sanction of the
f. A. M, which requires that the run
must be not less than 800 miles long
at least 15O miles of which is to be
made each day in which the course
must not be covered more than twice.
Controls are to be not less than
twenty-five miles apart and thirty
minutes will be the limit allowed as
neutral time at the controls.
All competitors will be required to
sign in at all controls and the time
will be set down by those in charge.
Mufflers and brakes will be required on
machines and the rate Of speed will
probably be set at twenty miles per
hour.
The club officials expect a large en-
try list on account of the great inter-
est taken in motorcycles in this sec
tion.
The road to San Diego is reported in
first-class condition and with the fields
and hills all green the ride should
prove most enjoyable.

Navy BUYS AmbuIances

The United States navy department has pur-
chased two automobile ambuances from the
White company. One of these is for use at
the naval hospital at Philadelphia and the
other at the tuberculosis hospital at Los Ami
mas, Colo
The new ambulances are similar to those
which have been purchased from time to time
by the war department from the White COM
pany In fact, the splendid service given by
the White ambulances In army work was the
determining factor in the award of this new
contract by the navy department. The chassis
cf the two new ambulances are identical with
tfose Of the standard thirty horse power
White touring cars, except that the frame is
lengthened out increasing the wheel base to
1s2 inches. The vehicles have a capacity of
four stretchers, besides accommodations for
several surgeons and space for carrying con-
siderable quantity of medical supplies.

SOCIETY FINDS WAY TO
GET COMPETENT cHAUFFEURS

England has a society of automobile
mechanic-drivers which is graphing
successfully with the task of secur-
ing competent and faithful chauffeurs
Three clear years experience is neces-
sary to candidature, apd before mem-
bership is granted candidates are sub
mitted to a severe examination by a
specially appointed subcommittee.
They are also required to furnish ref
erences to past employers, and these
are carefully and closely scrutinized.
If these are in any way unsatisfactory
the most brilliant mechanical qualifi-
cations will not secure enrolment. A.
full record of every mans engagement
and qualifications is kept, with list
of unemployed members. so that the
officers can at once recommend men
for suitable positions. Upon quitting
a situation member must furnish the
reasons for so doing, and If it trans
pires that the engagement has been
terminated through insobriety or in
science the member is liable to expul-
sion. In any case of proved dishon-
esty instant expulsion follows.

This road takes one through Brea
canyon, which has a fine road through

are no grades that low powered cars
cannot make. Coming back the grades
are easier, though more gradual, and
the climb is longer.

the main Travelled road just above Full
lerton can be taken back to Whittier
and thence to Los Angeles. The trip
gives a great variety of scenery and
no part of the road is uninteresting.
In going to Lemon there is choice
of routes. The upper road through
Pasadena to Azusa can be taken and
turn south through Covina and Pu-
ente made to the San Bernardino road
or the Pasadena boulevard to Alham-
bra can be taken and the road fol-
lowed through San Gabriel, Savannah
and Ell Monte to Puente, and then on
to Lemon on the old San Bernardino
stage route. The entire trip is only
about fifty miles, with no bad grades
at any place, no fords and no repeti-
ton of scenery.
The trip gives a good idea of the
productiveness of Southern California,
as it shows a great variey of prod
ucts and all of the country passed
through except the. canyon is under
cultivation.

TOGIvF FARMERS
MOTORCAR RIDES
WOULD REMOVE PREJUDICE OF
RANCHERS
DEALERS ARE SHOWING MUCH
ENTHUSIASM
Better Roads Expected to Result from
New Idea, and Tllers Of the
Soil Are Prospective
Buyers
"Give the farmer a ride"

"Give the farmer a ride"
This is the latest sentiment of gas
oline row.
Enthusiasm is on the increase over
the scheme that was first proposed by
a we'll known rubber man, who mod
estly requested that his name be kept
out of the paper. AS the seller of rub
ber as a rule is extremely modest and
retiring it was not surprising when Mr..
Nelson said he did not want the credit
for the idea, as it was an old one any
how.
Anyway the idea is so good that the
dealers will in all probability get to-
gether and arrange to give many far
mers in some sections a good ride In an
automobile and try and interest them in
the modern method Of locomotion and
conveyance.
There is no denying that many far
mers and country people have strong
prejudice against automobiles, caused
partly through ignorance and partly
through the imposition of some motor
lists who do no regard the rights OF
others.
1t is believed by many of the dealers
that IL the farmers and orchardtsts in
some one section could be interested in
motor cars that better roads would re-
suit, as the difference between good
road and poor one Is never better
demonstrated than by an automobile
trip over them.
But what appeals more strongly TO
the dealers Is the fact that every man
who becomes interested in the car be-
comes a good prospective buyer. While
many of the farmers would at first
purchase small cars at medium prices,
they would eventually get larger ones
at correspondingly higher figures.
BY making such start the dealers
who are looking ahead believe that by
creating an interest in the farmer to-
ward moor cars they would be creating
a sentiment for good roads that would
eventually give the whole section thor
oughfares that would be credit to the
state and promote business of every
kind.
Motorists are a unit in declaring that
If Southern California had a system of
really good roads 1t would be the finest
place on earth for automobiling, and
the dealers are a part of the same unit
and believe that nowhere else are con-
ditions so good as here for an enormous
automobile trade If the country Is pro-
vided with roads that, are conducive
to safe, comfortable and speedy travel.

WILL ATTEMPT TO LOWER
HIS OWN AUTO RECORD
Donor of Challenge Cup for Best Time
Between Los Angeles and San
Francisco viii Use White
Steamer

Ferdinand Nelson, the donor of a
challenge cup for the best time be-
tween Los Angeles and San Francisco,
expects to try and lower the record
now held by himself made with a
COLUMBIA car.
Mr.. Nelson has purchased a White
Steamer and will use it on the trip
down. Capt. H. D. Ryus will meet
him at Santa Barbara and drive the
last leg of the trip. trial was made
few days ago, but the road was so
muddy that it was soon learned that
any trial at that time would be futile
and the car was turned back COM
paratively short distance south of San
Francisco.
Preparations are being made by a
rumber of dealers to try for the Nelson
cup, and the near fuure will probably
see quite a number of fast runs to San
Francisco cnd the record may be shat
tered two or three times.

of Pasadena and Los Angeles that

open the eyes of some of our motorists

little hope of their ever seeing that
