WHAT THE AUTOMOBILE
HAS DONE FOR GOOD ROADS
Prominent Manufacturer Clearly Shows
Shows What Machine Has Done
Towards Giving Decent Ways

Though many seem to think other
wise, the automobile has done more to
aid the cause of good roads than any
thing else since roads were first built
in this country" remarked President
J. N. WHY'S of the Overland Automo-
bile company the other day.
1.-THE movement for good roads which
began when bicycles were so general
ly used has increased with the use Of
the automobile, and 1t is safe to say
that every owner of car in this coun-
try is interested to some extent in
the good roads question. Every own
er of a car desires good roads, and all
over the country motor car owners
have done a great deal toward getting
them. In many sections road improve
ment has been due entirely to their ef-
forts. Were It not for the car many
alleged roads would remain probably
forever in a wretched condition
"The automobile has brought people
to these bad spots, discovering them,
so to speak, and the condition of affairs
has invariably aroused them to action
toward securing betterments. In any
number of sections 1t has been auto
mobile owners and automobile clubs
TnaT- nave d movement 4OA Ill
proving highways.
Jacobs Ladder In Massachusetts, is
a noticeable instance of this. Here
was a wretched, hilly bit of road, the
dread of the motorist touring through
the western part of the state. Though
in the heart of the beautiful Berkshire
hills, one of the show sections of the
state, Jacobs Ladder often proved too
much for cars, especially after rains,
at which time conditions hade mo-
toring practically out of the question.
Finally, motorists interested them
selves in the Ladder, and as a result
of labor and contributions by them
Jacobs Ladder is now as easily taken
almost as a level road, and the beau
tiful country thereabouts can now be
fully enjoyed.
''This is but a single case of how the
car is directly responsible for highway
betterments. Hundreds of similar cases
could be cited, all proving my conten-
ton that the motor car Is responsible
for good roads all over the country"

ALLEGES EXECUTOR FAILED
TO TELL HEIRS OF RIGHTS
Sensation Sprung In Suit Of John AM
dreson to Quiet Title to
Land

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 26.-Sen-
sational allegations were made today
in the answer to the suit Of John An
dreson, a wealthy pioneer resident of
this city, for quiet title to 112 acres of
valuable orange land on the Cotton
terrace, H. Renengold, one Of the de-
PENDANTS, making the statement that
Mr.. Anderson, as executor of the estate
Of William Renegold, who had claim
before his death to the land under dis
pute, failed to notify the heirs of their
rights. The property in question is
valued at over 100000, and under the
terms of the will of the elder Renegold,
who died here in 1876, his relatives have
no claim to the estate, long since pro-
bated.
Mr.. Anderson was known as one of
the wealthiest men in the city prior to
Mr.. Renegold's death, and was his
partner in land deals, and on his death
was willed with other property the land
now in dispute, and on which the de-
ceased had made but one payment
under a government act, with the pro-
viso that-he pay to Herzinth Renegold,
the father of the defendants, $500, which
he did, and finished the payments of
the land

Council wlthhoIda Action

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 26,-The
city council last night withheld action
on the bids submitted for the paving
Of G street from Second to Ninth in
order to provide for an opportunity to
investigate the figures, which are $2500
over the estimate of the city engineer.
There are now four contracts held up
on account of the high bids. although
it is expected that three will be ac-
cepted next week, the property owners
having decided that it will be almost
impossible to secure lower figures at
this time of the year.

souIes Always "AIso Ran"

It is really too bad~ that Charlie
Soules can not get on a, car that Is
fitted to his ability as driver. Soules
is one of the nerviest and fear
less drivers that ever sat in the pilot
seat of an automobile and gets out OF
his car all there is in her, but he has
been the most unfortunate fellow that
ever struck the Pacific coast.
He drives like mad, uses the most
perfect control of his machine, is care
full though a fast driver, but he has the
unhappy faculty of getting on a car
that cannot deliver the goods. His
record is always in the class of and
"it also ran," and is this respect Soules
may be getting the money for driving,
but he is not adding much to his fame
being a loser In every instance.

Tremendous system of Roads

In milage the United States has the
most tremendous system of roads
which any country has ever possessed
since the old world began. According
to a careful road census the length of
all of our roads amounts to 2,165,0O0
miles. The most liberal estimate of our
annual expenditure on these roads,
both in money and labor, was a frac-
tion over $79,O00,0OO in 1904, or about
81 .O5 per capita At the same rate this
would be an expenditure of about $780,
900, 600 a year at the present time. Eng
land, with only 100000 miles of road.
spends about $SO'OOO'OOO a year. OF
about fourteen times as much per mile.
