SUCCESSFUL AGENT
WITH CLEAN RECORD
FROM BICYCLE BUSINESS TO
AUTOMOBILES
Franklin Representative One of Three
Oldest Dealers in Southern Cali
Ifornia and Has Big
Business

Ralph G. Hamlin, the Franklin agent
in Los Angeles, is one of the three
oldest dealers in Southern California
He is also one of the most substantial
having scored a success from the first
day he went into the business.
Hamlin, like many of the leaders in
the automobile industry, is graduate
of the bicycle days. He has lived in
Los Angeles since 1887, coming here
from San Francisco, where he was
born.
Hamlin went in strong for bicycle
racing. He was one of the best, and
was captain of the wheeimen depart
ment of the Los Angeles Athletic club,
captain of the South Side Cycle club,
captain of the Wanderers and captain
of every team with which he ever COM
peted.
In 1896 he won first place in the Santa
Monica road race. The next year he
made second fastest time in this race.
In 1898 he won the first time prize, and
also won the fastest time and first place
in the Sunset road race to San Fer
nando. Another victory was the last
relay for the Los Angeles Athletic club
in the 50-mile relay race. In 1899 he
secured the century record for Southern
California. This record, hours and Z
minutes to Riverside and return, still
stands.
He was star on the track and has a
trunkful of medals and numerous other
prizes, not to mention dozen or so of
diamonds.
In 1896 Hamlin went in the bicycle
business, having the Cleveland, White
and Imperial agencies. He watched
with interest the experiments being
Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-12

made with gas engines and purchased
the first motorcycle delivered west of
the Rocky mountains. 1t was an Orient
with a 2A-horse power Astor motor.
In 1900 he sold many of these motor
cycles In 1903 he had his first taste of
the automobile industry, selling num-
Der of Orient buckboards.
In 1904 Hamlin was doing a lively
brokerage business. In 1905 he took on
the Franklin agency, and has sold the
Franklin ever since.
The Franklin was first sold at 1905
South Main street From. there he
moved to 114S South Olive, one of the
largest and handsomest salesrooms and
garages in the west. His was the first
salesroom in the country with tile
floor. =
Ralph Hamlin has been one of the
leading Franklin agents in the country,
being high man in the country for the
past two years. He has been very sue
,cessful in racing, having won the 30
turaI park and the Consistency cup in
mention numerous smaller events. His
longest race was the 24-hour event, in
which he finished second.
Hamlin is a Knight Templar, K. P,
member of the Jonathan club, chamber
of commerce, Merchants and Manufac-
turers' association, Automobile club of
Southern California and president of
the Automobile Dealers association of
Southern California
Hamlin is one of the most popular
young business men in the city, and
has a couple of years to go before
reaching his thirtieth birthday.

MAKES HARD TRIP
WITH INTERSTATE
RECORD BREAKING DRIVER is
DOING STUNTS
Makes Voyage Through impossible
Sand Without Aid Of Customary
Horse Tow Used on
Bad Road

Gordon Cameron Murray, well known
as the record breaking driver of the
Auburn car and the man who in
twenty-four hours at the wheel of the
Interstate car in the dealers twice
around the clock endurance contest,
sends the following information for
motorists from Woodland. where he is
now looking after the interests of the
Interstate car:
in regard to that twenty-five miles
of road between Woodland and Sacra-
mento, no doubt you are aware that
it is impossible for either automobiles
or horse-drawn vehicles eight months
out of the year. and If an auto comes
to Woodland lin those eight nonths),
wishing to go to Sacramento, it has
either to ship from Davis to Sacra-
mento by rail or go all the way back to
Benicia, cross the bay and go around
by Stockton, or go from Woodland to
Colusa and Marysville, down the other
side of the river to Sacramento.
Either way they choose to go, with
the exception of shipping from Davis,
means a roundabout trip at least,
whereas if the road from here to Sacra-
mento was kept in any kind of shape it
would only be a matter of an hours
run, but the way it is now it is simply
a disgrace. Well, having a couple of
persons to see in Sacramento and being
pushed for time, I decided to try to get
through, so started last Wednesday
morning at 1915. after the people at
the garage told me it was an utter i'm
possibility to get through in an automo-
bile, but I persuaded Bill Van Zee, the
Woodland garage man, to come with
me, and we were off.
Though it was only twenty-five

miles, it was the longest and worst
twenty .miles ever struck From
Woodland to Elkhorn the road through
the tules is pretty fair with the excep-
tion of a couple of bad places of sand.
but from Elkhorn to within a few miles
of Sacramento it is nothing but sand
almost up to the axle, and some sur
prising deep chucks besides, with the
car on an angle of about 10 degrees as
the road runs along the side of the
leVee, not on the top nor bottom, but
along the sides.
The worst piece of road on the trip is
about two miles out of Elkhorn to-
ward Sacramento, and 1t is certainly
fierce. Nothing but sand, and you have
to climb to the top of the levee with
grade of about 100 feet long and as
steep as the first Golden Gate avenue
hill This is the place where they all
get stuck and where a rancher has
team of horses to pull them through,
charging, I understand, IS g, car; and
they tell me that last year he cleaned
up a nice little bunch OF money. but as
/ wanted to go through on my own
power, if possible, l refused his aid,
found a couple of boards about three
feet long after a great deal of hunting
around put them under the wheels and
started to climb. 1t was the same old
story, running few feet, dropping
off the boards, picking them up again,
after they had been thrown about
twenty feet by the rear wheels spin
ming, putting them under the wheels
again and moving ahead another couple
of feet. Van Zee and went through
this performance about fifteen or TWEEN
ty times and were at last rewarded by
reaching the top of the levee.
"From there on to Sacramento,
though it was pretty rough going, with
a lot more sand, it was whole lot
easier. Van Zee and I were surprised
and pleased with the way 'the forty

under such a trying test for after all

the running we had to do on our low
and second speeds, with the thermom-
eter at 115, the car never even heated
up, to say nothing about boiling. 1t
was as hot as l ever want to feel 1t at
any time. We arrived in Sacramento
about 1915 o'clock that day, dusty,
hungry and thirsty. We were the first
car to make the trip from Woodland
to Sacramento this year under our own
power. 1 came back from Sacramento
on my way north to Colusa, and no.
ticed that they are fixing the road up
from Sacramento to within a few miles
of the worst places, but do not seem
to be doing anything from about three
miles from the sandhill into Elkhorn.
About $50 worth of labor, straw and
tools would fix the worst places up
fine for an auto TO go through with
out any trouble. From Sacramento to
Woodland it is not quite so bad, as the
worst places are going down hill.

NUMBER OF PEOPLE KILLED
Building Being RemodeIed at PhiIa.
delphia CoIIapses.

Philadelphia, July 16.-Several per-
sons were killed and aDUut a score
injured by the collapse of a portion
of a five-story brick building at Elev-
enth and Market streets. The wreck
age is piled thirty feet high and the
number of killed will not be definitely
known until the debris Is cleared
away. The police say they believe
eight workmen are under the wreck
age and that they are probably dead.
None of the injured is believed to be
fatally hurt.
The building Is an old fashioned
structure about twenty-five feet wide
on Market street and 100 feet deep
on Eleventh street 1t was being re-
modelled for the United Gas Improve
ment company as a sales department.
The two fronts up to the second story
had been torn out and the upper
floors were shored up by heavy tim
bers. The entire front and about
forty-five feet of the Eleventh street
side fell.
The building stood at one of the
busiest corners of the shopping dis
trict and the sidewalks were crowded
with people. The wall fell with o
terrific roar. Tremendous excitement
ensued and reports spread that many
were killed, some of them women.

LITTLE PROGRESS is MADE
conferees Consider Cotton Goods and
Lead Products.

Washington, July 1.-two ques-
tions which it was known would be as
stubbornly fought as any in the tariff
bill, namely, cotton goods and lead
products, were taken up by the con-
feroes, but were not disposed Of dur
ing the forenoon session. An early
adjournment was taken to permit the
house members to attend the session
of that body and to allow Senator AL
drich and Representative Payne to go
to the White House as the presidents
guests at luncheon.
Members of the house conference
committee declined to accept the SEN
ate amendments to the cotton sched-
ule when that subject was taken up
These amendments consist chiefly of
changes from ad valorem to specific
duties fer the purpose of carrying out
the original intent of the Dingley
rates, which senate conferees assert
have been pulled down by misinter-
probation of the Dingley law.
