The following is a verbatim copy of a letter written by Judge Wickrrsham to Governor Hogeatt. It speaks ror itself. and needs un comment.
 "f regret very much that Waskeg and Caie have started off on the mis- taken idea of putting territorial gov rrnment ahead uf all other things for Alaska. II certainly is great mistake and one which wm cost the territory dearly Ton are right in opposing it. and you ought not tu hesitate The population iz loo sparse and the tax able wealth is too small to sustain self government The population is un- settled and probably out If the six or eight thousand men in this mining camp uat a hundred If them would ad- nit that they intended to remain in the territory for the rest of their lives. dor would auc-tenth of them remain if the placer mines were worked out as they are in Dawson and will be here inside of few years. The real dihi- .euliy in considering this matter Is that so many do not note the difference be tween the theory of government and the brutal fact When an argu- ment is started, the majority argue strongly in favor of il. and the theory is undoubtedly correct. but when they are pinned down to the fact as Ia whether or mol the timr has arrived for the establishment of local self goFerumeut most of them hesitate l. is my judgment that large majority af the people of this district are up- posed to local self-govcrnmcut. aI- though there Is no difficulty in soaring up resolutions in Fourth of July lan- guage in favor of il. You should pay no attention to such resolutions rx- cept to try to explain to congress and the president that they come from a small number of people with nothing else to do and are simply good naturedly mistaken about what to do. They are generally good citizens. hut their theories are long way ahead of the needs of the country"

SAVANNAH AUTO CLUB MAY
HOLD RACE FOR LIGHT CARS
Underwriters of Grand Prize Event
Also viii Insure Races in Mo-
vember-Profits to Go to
Advertise City

The executive committee of the Sa-
vannah Automobile club, which has
charge of the arrangements for the
grand prize race to be held Thanks
giving day at Savannah, held its first
business meeting Friday of last week.
The same men who guaranteed the
success of the March races will UNDER
write the races in November. They
have issued a statement agreeing to
take care of any deficit caused by the
races and to give the profits to fund
to advertise Savannah.
The question of holding a race for
light cars a few days before the big
race Thanksgiving day was not def
nitely decided. 1t will be considered
further after there has been some ad-
ditional correspondence with the Auto
mobile club of America. The offer OF
the Advertising club of Savannah to
extend it's aid toward making the race
a success was accepted and the five
committeeman they name will be added
to the publicity committee.
Maps of the course were shown tc
the members of the committee and are
now prepared for distribution. If the
light cars races are decided upon they
will be run over shorter course, abou
! ten miles to each lap.
The committee learned that the
| Isotta company will enter several cars
and probably will have Trucco, the
greatest driver in Italy, to pilot one
of them. 1t is also announced AL. POOL
and Louis Strang already have beer
engaged to drive cars in the granC
prize race.

the drivers of horse-drawn vehicles.
The diverse really is true. Where
the roads are narrow now ana the
motor cars must stay on the crown OF
the road to maintain q good rate OF
speed safely, the wider roads that VIII
be built with better surface VIII per
NIT of passing with a much. greater
amount of leeway between the horse=
drawn vehicle and the motor car
with the rutty roads now existing 1t
is difficult for a motor car to get past
another vehicle without either skidding
on slanting bank or blowing through
sand or brush on the roadside. With
the wider roads greater safety would
he assured, even with higher speed
than now made, but there need be no
fear of the motorist using the high
WAYS as places for scorching. There is
a state law already in force regulating
the speed Of vehicles on country roads,
and the influence of public opinion will
always tend to hold down the speed
of motor cars to a safe limit.
To be sure there always is the idiotic
speed maniac, but he is not to be re-
pressed, except by force or legal pro-
cedure in any case, so that it hardly is
fair to ask the whole community to go
without better roads because few
irresponsible persons are likely to take
undue advantage of the public.
One of the prime advantages of good
roads for the use of motorists is that
it directly increases the values of coun-
try realty. The wealthy motorist is
sure to travel over the best roads that
he can find and the property along that
road will come under his notice. Inter
est in 1t as an investment is more liable
to grow from familiarity with the
property, and thereby sales are effected
and improvements made which directly
increase the value of all the property
adjacent or contiguous to any good
road.
The time fast is coming when the
rancher will depend on motor-drawn
vehicles to the exclusion of the horse;
and good roads, with easy gradients,
are an absolute necessity for the econo-
mical operation of motor cars The
small amount of forty, fifty or even
sixty cent taxes per year on $1,000 val
uation is as nothing compared to the
saving in wear and tear on vehicles
and less operating expense.
Greater roads, less time and less
power consumption will be among re-
suits obtained from good roads. These
results will be secured from the horse
drawn vehicle as we'll as from the
motor car.
Better roads will increase the value
of all suburban property, because they
will bring the suburbs in closer touch
with the city by a reduction of time
between places. Distance now is meas
ured by time and not by miles, and
nothing will reduce distance more than
good roads.
By all means let US have good roads,
and the best way to obtain them is by
every motorist voting at the coming
bond election in favor of the project
and showing by an overwhelming ma
jority that the sentiment of the country
and the cry is that our greater pros
perity" is in direct proportion to the
quality of the highways that we build
to connect our towns, cities and coun-
try places

room. Special facilities will be afforded
in the battery room not only to
charge batteries but to make and re-
pair them.
Forty feet of the rear will be given
up to the shop and battery room.
One of the good features of the build
ing will be the absence of posts, allow
ing of the handling of cars on the floor
at all times without much backing
and turning.
Room for Expansion
In all of the details of the plans at
tention has been paid to the fact that
the motor car trade is in its infancy,
and room for expansion must be fig-
ured on. The present quarters of the
Rambler agency were thought at the
time they were first occupied, just five
years ago, to be large enough for many
years to come but they have been
crowded for months, and a new loea-
ton has been an urgent need for
long time.
There are already a number of firms
dealing In motor cars or accessories
west of Broadway and south Of Sew
enth.
Two of the largest firms in Southern
California are already in the new ter
ritory. and others aye considering go
ing in that direction shortly, not only
to take advantage of the better streets,
but the lower rental as well. One of
the advantages of the new locality
is that there are a number of vacant
lots available, so that the expense of
removing a house already built would
not prevail.
That there will be a general exodus
of motor car dealers to the west is
the prediction of those who are in the
business and have shown their good
Judgment in the past by getting in
early when there is any good thing
coming along.

GASOLINE ROW
WILL MIGRATE
RAMBLER AGENCY TO HAVE
NEW HOME
MANY DEALERS ARE SEEKING
BETTER LOCATIONS
w. K. cowan BIazes Trail That Prob
ably Will Lead Majority of
Companies to Other
STREETS
BY L. GEORGE THOMPSON

Indications from gasoline row point
to the migration of the colony of motor
car dealers to another locality in
short time.
AS they did once before, they will
probably follow the lead of w. K. Cow
an who was the first to move on South
Broadway below Seventh and who
was told when he did so that he was
going too far out
AS he did before, he realizes that the
time has come to move and get in on
the ground floor. and in about ninety
days the Rambler garage will be
housed in its own home on South Hope
street near Twelfth, where better ia
| cilities and increased floor space will
make the handling of cars easier and
conducive to a more profitable busi-
ness.
| Mr. Cowan has purchased lot at
the location mentioned and will build
his own garage. saving large amount
of rental in the course of a year.
The White garage has also signed
lease that will necessitate its moving
to Olive street, between Eighth and
Ninth.
On Hope and Olive there are no car
tracks to interfere with motor car
traffic, and as the streets are wide 1t
will make an ideal location for the
new gasoline row.
Already the rentals on South Main,
where the present row is located, have
become unreasonably high, and as a
result many of the dealers are consid-
ering moving.
Rents High
Where they are now they pay at
least twice as much rent as Will be
necessary on Hope street for as good
a location with advantages that South
Main street does not possess.
The dealers think they have been
taken advantage of by many of the
property owners on South Main from
whom they rent, as the rooms now used
as salesrooms for automobiles are not
SO valuable for any other class of trade
and the empty rooms interspersed
along the row of dealers are silent
testimony to the fact that there is
more room than is needed already to
handle the business done here.
| One of the advantages of the new To-
cation is the alley that runs through
/ the block, making easy access from
| the rear of garage without having
to make double front entrance unless
it is wanted.
The new garage of the Rambler will
be nearly fifty feet wide with depth
to the alley of 1877 feet.
In front of the building will be the
salesroom with a depth of 40 feet. Be-
tween the salesroom and the garage
proper there will be a partition of Of
fees and parts rooms, with passage
ways allowing easy ingress to the real
rooms.
At the rear of the building will be
the machine shop and the battery

WHAT IMPROVED
ROADS WILL DO
SOME ADVANTAGES TO BE DE-
RIVED FROM THEM
FARMERs9 MOST BENEFITED AT
LEAST EXPENSE
Elimination of Distances Between
Points, as Measured by Time, VIII
Increase Mutual Interests
and Relations
RY L. GEoRGE THoMPsoN

GOOD ROADS" is the slogan of the
motorists of Southern California, and
with the backing they will give the
campaign for the good roads bonds the
issue is certain to carry.
Probably no other class so well APP
preciates the value of good roads as
the motorist who, as a rule, is man
who can see by the building OF good
roads that any country can increase its
prosperity and establish it's commerce
on a firmer basis.
That we need the roads is conceded
/ by everyone whose opinion is of suf-
| fcient weight to merit attention, and
| that the proposed method of building
and paying for them is good also is
| conceded.
Unfortunately there exists a senti-
ment among the ranchers and orchard
lists that the proposed system of high
ways will in effect be only speed
courses for automobiles That senti-
ment prevails only among the class in
the rural districts who are uniformed,
as the persons who live outside the
cities and keep in touch with the af-
fairs of the world are too well informed
to allow such an impression to be made
on their minds.
It is the man who does not read the
| daily papers and spends his spare time
holding down the head of a sugar bar
rel that is the most antagonistic to-
ward the project. He is at the same
| time the one on whom the burden falls
| the lightest, or not at all, because as
a rule he is not taxed for owning prop
erty, as he is not one of the kind who
can afford the time to earn enough
more than for mere existence and
cannot acquire a real interest in the
welfare of a community.
He is, however, voter, and his vote
must be offset by the votes of at least
two advocates of prosperity, and then
a few additional votes are necessary to
give the required two-thirds majority
for carrying a bond election.
VIII Educate Public
The campaign of the good roads as
ISOLATION will educate the people sc
they will know what the issue of bonds
Is for, who is to handle them and how
the money is to be spent.
The class who really gets the great.
est advantage from a system of gooo
roads is the rancher, and on him the
burden will fall the ligktest. 1t is con
ceded that the greater part of the take:
are paid by the men who are owners
of automobiles, and so on them will fal
the greater part of the taxes for thu
bonds.
They will get less benefit directl!
than the rancher, but even then the,
/, feel as a class that the slight extri
tax will be good invest 1t and yielC
, handsome returns.
There is some antagonism amoni
} ranchers because they are afraid goot
roads will induce the motorists t.
| drive at a greater rate of speed ant
consequently increase the danger t,
