showed that kerosene is at least
fifteen per cent. more efficient, gallon
for gallon, than gasoline. The car In
other respects made a most creditable
showing, and there was the usual rfv-
airy among the observers to be as
signed to the White so that they
could ride with the maximum of COM
fort. The only adjustments or re-
pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were tightening a lubri-
Gator pipe and wiring a damaged mud
guard. These penalties were not in
1icted until more than 1000 miles
had been completed with an absolute

A particularly interesting feature
of the new White Steamer is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used as fuel. The necessary adjust
ments SO that thefuel may be changed
from kerosene to gasoline, or vice
versa, may be made in a couple of
minutes; but so completely successful
has kerosene proven to be, that 1t is
not believed that any purchasers wifi
care to S gasoline.

guine expectations. 1t is evident that
the combination of steam-the pow
er which everyone understands and
has confidence in-with kerosene

and can handle without any danger
is thoroughly appreciated by
up-to-date purchasers of automo-
biles.

A remarkable story of an attack by
a wild animal has reached this city
from Pinos Altos, a mining camp
north of here. While Mr.. and Mrs.
]. F. Campbell, an aged couple, were
sitting in their home about noon, a
wildcat emerged from a nearby thick
ct, dashed through the open door and
attacked the woman.
Mrs. Campbell, who is nearly blind,
was terribly clawed and scratched by
the ferocious beast before it could be
beaten off. 1t was finally driven IN
der the bed and when it emerged to
renew the attack, Mr.. Campbell, who
had hastily secured his rife, put a
bullet through it's body.
Mrs. Campbell was SO badly injured
that it was found necessary to place
her in the Ladies' Hospital of this
city, where she is receiving medical
treatment.
1t is very unusual for a wildcat to
attack a person unless %cornered, and
the remarkable action of this one is
hard to account for. The woman
would undoubtedly have been killed
but for the presence OF her husband

The complete success of the new
fuel while on this 2e50-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through it's use we're well described
In the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"A feature of the tout which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in its
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapIless, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
lene. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions. and
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour, the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly,
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part of the route was most con-
venient, and not once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found a grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally. the

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
loubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
On kerosene, or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There we're some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used. with
complete success and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make a public demonstra-
ton OF the new fuel in the 1909 Gid

From the standpoint of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all. the dis
