OVER THE BALDY
COURSE IN RACER
OLD "BLACK BESS" IS STILL
DOING DUTY
Mercury II Is Fast speeder In Good
Hands of Two Characters,
Gloomy Gus and Happy
HooIgan

Thousands and thouSandS-yes, nun
dreds of thousands-even millions-ot
people have within the last ten or
dozen years stood, sat and watched
racing automobiles go by them at
mile a minute gait, with scarcely d
murmur of excitement, unless some
thing unforeseen occurred to tickle the
nerve or horror or wonder, but none
scarcely of all the great multitude VINO
have witnessed great events have the
slightest conception of what it means
to be seated on road machine tearing
along at a pace that 1t fearful In Its
actually and dreadful in its possl-
bilities.
There is an event on today in local
circles that has the eyes of thousands
more upon its termination, when three
big cars of tremendous power and
capacity will be turned loose to the
highest notch to win honor, fame and
the trophy coveted by owners and
drivers.
An opportunity was afforded repre-
sentative of The Herald during the last
week to- ride the Badly course on one
of the contesting cars in the event that
will be pulled off this Sunday morning.
1t was on the White Steam car, Whlcn
for three years has carried of the
honors that come to the winner OF the
Mount Baldy course which Is run OF
exactly 100 miles from where the ma
chimes get the word go" to the termi-
nal of the course away up on Mount
Baldy, more than 1900 feet elevation
over that of Los Angeles.
At the invitation of Col. Fred G.
Fenner the donor of the Fenner Baldy
oup-a magnificent product of the sill
versmith's and engraver's art-and one
of the most tireless and energetic pro
moters of the automobile industry and
racing events in local circles, The
Herald representative war given the
remaining seat beside that of the
driver, who was the colonel himself,
with old faithful "Black Bess" as the
means of conveyance for the up-goins
trip. A double purpose was in view
with that indefatigable determination
that has made the successful career OF
the owner of "Bess," the object was
to take a last general review of all
the arrangements for the approaching
race, see that every detail was per-
fected and to erect several guide posts
that would aid those unfamiliar with
the course to find their way across the
great Mojave desert to the top of grand
old Baldy.
'Black Bess' herself has a reputa-

ton that stands out brilliantly in rae
ing career, and although age is creep
ing upon the good old machine, her
own capture of the Badly trophy two
years ago and her subsequent achieve
ment of taking the Phoenix first prize
across the great deserts, extending to
the capital of the territory of Arizona
from Los Angeles, gives BLACK Bess'
a standing among the great racing cars
of the Pacific coast. And old "Bess"
is still evidently as frisky as ever In
speed and her manifested desire TO
take to hill climbing as voraciously
and enjoyably as ever in her prime.
True, she has over hundred thousand
miles chalked up on her record pook,
as her mileage travelled over every sort
of road and in every condition or
weather. and her owner has not spared
her in the enormous distance she mas
faithfully covered with him at the
wheel.
1t is Indicative Of the heart of the
man to hear Colonel Fenner driving
this good old car. He talks to the ma
chine as though the finest and most in
telligent horse was under the rein, IN
stead of the soft clicking of the motor.
He tells her to "Whoa, Bess!" and
"Now, Bess, old girl, here's a hard
hill, but you'll make 1t" and the pat
tered old car actually seems to under
stand her driver and digs into 1t with
all the vitality and vigor of a young
colt. NewhalI canyon Is a Sunday

"Black Bess" only recently-a sum
that would be sufficient to replace her
with magnificent production of the
series of 1910 among the high grade
cars. but this was declined, her owner
! being so attached to this piece of ma
chinery that he refused to part COM
pany with Bess at any price.
But to the trip on a racing car When
the terminal of the Baldy race course
had been reached the colonel consulted
a printed schedule similar to an en-

WILL ERECT LARGEST
TIRE PLANT IN WORLD
Started Factory in 1902 with Twenty
Men, Today Over 600 in Service
of Company

What will be one of the largest and
most complete tire factories in the
world will soon be erected by the Fire
stone Tire and Rubber company IN
Akron, Ohio, on a fifteen-acre tract OF
land. The erection of the new build
ings shows, in a manner, the rapid ex-
pansion of the company, which, though
one of the youngest in the industry IS
too, the largest devoted exclusively 10
the manufacture of tires.
The Firestone company founded by
H. S. Firestone in 1900, had a modest
beginning, but it's growth has been
rapid, so much so that factory addl-
tions have been necessary from time
to time, finally making necessary the
building of a new plant.
Though the company was founded IN
1900, it was not until the fall of l9OZ
that it began to make tires in its own
factory. and then in small, one-story
tiled structure in which there were
employed but twenty men. Almost
from the start Firestones became pop
ular with motorists. At present the
company has an immense four-story
building equipped with the best ma
chinery obtainable and employs 6Oo
men. Even with this complete plant
it has been impossible to produce rap
idlv enough to satisfy the demand.
With its new factory, equipped with
more machinery and of the very Latest
model. and employing more men, II
will be possible to turn out a mucn
larger number, and, if such a thing is
possible, better tires. The Firestone
is the only company in America de-
voted exclusively to the manutactur-
ing of rubber tires. 1t has since u
started business been the recognized
leader in solid tires for horse-drawn
vehicles and fire apparatus, taking ur
this end of the tire business peIoIe
getting into the pneumatic tire branch
The position conceded the company IN
this field of the business was at first
denied it in pneumatic tire production
but the quality of tires made is such
that today the company is a leader in
hcth branches.

Mr. Newerf visited many of the large
automobile and tire manufactures In

listing conditions and the outlook for
the future.
He conferred with James Garvey
while east. Mr.. Garvey is the Newerf
companys special representative for
Twitchell air gauges in the east and
has been very successful in placing the
product of the Touring infant industry

gauges since July 20. Mr.. Garvey will

sailing surface of the rails? What of
the tires? Are they all right?
There can be no harder test of an
automobile than the Badly course, and
if there are machines such as the White

rible racking to which they are sub
jected in such a run, then they are
indeed marvels of construction and

STRONG BODY ARE
ROAD BUILDERS
REPRESENTATIVES OF THIRTY
STATES TO MEET
Plans of Convention So Broad That 10
Is Designed to Take in Every
Person In America Inter-
ested in Roads

No organization in the country Is
taking a deeper interest in the re-
suits to be achieved from the second
annual national good roads conven-
tion to be held in Cleveland, O., Sep
tember q, % and %, than the Ameri-
can Road Makers association. Organ
lied in 1902 by a mere handful of men
interested in highway improvement,
the association now numbers among
its representatives members from
thirty states, including practically all
of the state engineers and highway
commissioners who have welded a
wide and beneficial influence for high
way development during the last few
years. James H. Mcdonald, the
Connecticut highway commissioner,
whose work in that state has made
him famous throughout the country
for an enlightened and scientific pol
lev of road work, is president of the
American Road Makers association
and f. L. Powers is secretary.
The influence of the association is
felt wherever the question of road
improvement is contemplated or where
serious work is in progress. Besides
the leading engineers it's membership
also includes advocates of highway
Improvement, members or good roaus
organizations, of oranges and county,
town and city highway officials. In
deed, the plan of the association is SO
broad that it is designed to take in
every person in America who is in
terested in or identified with the work
of highway improvement.
Four conventions have been held
under the auspices of the association,
the one held in 1907 at Pittsburg being
the largest of it's kind ever held in this
country previous to the big convention
| in Buffalo last year in which many
kindred organizations including the
| American Automobile association and
the National Grange Joined. The
| American Road Makers association
ioined forces with the other bodies
working toward the same ends last year
and materially aided in the success OF
that convention and in the permanent
influence thereby aroused in the good
roads movement. This year the asso-
citation is taking an exceptionally active
part toward extending this influence
and many of its most prominent nlerli- M
