 Stable Product.

Lonoke.-Because, as he claims, he Win Jackson, a negro living near Lo- noke, set fire to sixty bales of cotton that had been purchased by Will Ma son and placed in a car for shipment to Argenta. The negro was later captured at BuskwacK and brought back to Lonoke. After being placed in jail he admitted being guilty of arson, and said that he did it be- cause part of the cotton belonged to him. Only three bales were totally destroyed, an estimated loss of $272.25.
 Jackson was raising cotton on shares near Lonoke Mir Mason, who went to Lonoke a week ago to pur- chase cotton for the Mason 6 Nc Bland company, purchased cotton from various cotton raisers and did not buy a largo quantity from any one man.
 The cotton was loaded in the cars and would have been shipped to the Gulf compress here had not the fire occurred.
 It was owing to the rapid work of the Lonoke fire department that all the cotton did not burn. It was not insured. As a reward for it's good work MT. Mason made the depart ment present of $10O, to become a part of the departments fund.

PACIFIC MOTOR CAR AND AvIA-
ALTON CO. FORMED
Geo. E. Cummings President, and
Company Will Move Into Their
Big Garage by To-
morrow

The Pacific Motor Car and Aviation
company, which is the new name of
the White Garage company, will enjoy
the distinction of having two locations
for the remainder of this month. To-
morrow they will move most of their
effects from the garage at $40 South
Olive street to the new place at 1917
1921 South Flower street. Both places
will be operated until the end of the
year, and salesman will have
Headquarters at the Olive street build
ing, but the main offices will be at
the Flower street garage, where event.
ually alls the business will be con-
Quoted.
George e. Cummings is president of
the new company and Capt. II. ID.
Ryus is its manager. Cap Ryus is
glad to get back into the automobile
game again, although he says mining
agrees with him.
"The new place is certainly a hum
mer and fully worthy of the good old
White" said he yesterday. Were
going to be listed way ahead for ga
rage room. Already there are booked
twenty-five cars FOR the nee location,
and by the end of the month we eX-
pect to have listed twenty-five cars
more.
while we shall be busy selling
White cars, the aviation end of the
company means something, and we
expect to dispose of an aeroplane now
and then just to keep up with the
procession and show the country that

as demohstrator on the air current
end of the business"
The new. company is the first big
concern to go into the aerOnautical
business on the Pacific coast, although
aviation signs in the windows are not
uncommon in New York. The first
aeroplane retail store in America was
opened in Los Angeles by Roy Kna-
benshue on South Main street. but he
closed it up when the call of the air
proved irresistible and exhibition con-
tracts lured him back east. Ryus says
he win show the eastern aviators a
thing or two about selling aeroplanes,
while not neglecting his customary
stunts with the White automobile.

Why, Certainly

Charles s. Howard. head of the
Howard Automobile company distrib-
utors of Oldsmobiles and Bucks, COM
menting on the situation in general,
says: II think the buying public is
beginning to realize the Importance
of purchasing automobiles when able
to get delivery. l thing this is
the reason that we are doing 100 per
cent more business than we ever did
before at this season of the year. OF
course, we are getting new motors in
much larger quantities than we ever
did before at this time of the year.
The factory is realizing that a big
winter business can be got on the
coast if they get the cars out here
early. We are getting Bucks in at
the rate of three or four carloads a
week right along, but have been un-
able so far to get a stock ahead, as
the cars are sold and delivered Just
about as fast as they arrive

RELIANCE TRUCKS IN
BIG DEMONSTRATION
Manager Fuller Sends 5000 Pounds
on One and Five Men to
Top of Mt. Rubidoux
with Ease

Daily the evidences of what the
motor car truck is to the shipper and
commercial houses are becoming more
and more convincing and none afford
more potent reasons for sarrying this
information to the industrial firms of
this city than the Pioneer Commercial
Auto company whose Reliance trucks
are doing some practical stunts that
are astonishing even to the most skep-
tical.
Only last week a sensational demon
stration was given by 0. r. Fuller of
the Pioneer company when he made
the ascent of Mount DubidouX carrying
load of 5000 pounds dead weight and
five men, and the truck did it with
such ease that could she have held an
other ton or two it would not have
bothered the Reliance for a moment
as her speed was maintained during
the trip with no trouble whatever.
Mount Rubidoux be it remembered
has an elevation of 600 feet, and tha
grade is from 4 to 6 per cent, and when
Mr.. Fuller stated he would send the
truck up that grade with its enormous
load, a gentle smile of derison passed
over the faces of his hearers.
Not satisfied with this demonstra-
ton the time was taken in the climb
which was made in 40 minutes, and
having reached the top the car re-
turned to Arlington in just q minutes,
demonstrating that speed is contained
in the truck as we'll as power. Still
adding to the wonder OF the truck, and
a point in which Mr. Fuller takes
special plide is the fact that the truck
was never taken out of its in
termediate gear in the performance
it was giving, for Charlie Finn, the
driver of the truck, knows to a fineness
of a hair just what she will do, and
that this is true is attested by the
fact that Finn drove the car from Los
Angeles to Riverside in five hours
over wet and heavy roads.
Among the latest purchasers of Re-
lance trucks is the Salt Lake Trans

JOINS THE FORCES OF
BIG AUTOMOBILE FIRM
C. FULLER GATES TO PREACH
ROYAL TOURIST GOSPEL
An Aggressive Campaign of Publicity
and Aggressive Auto Selling
Is to Be lnaugurated
Generally

Mountain 8 Carrigan are about to
enter upon an aggressive campaign in
the automobile business, having but
recently moved into their elegant new
quarters on South Olive street with
their Royal Tourists. The new sales
rooms of this firm are among the
handsomest of all those which have
made Los Angeles noted in the auto
mobile world for sumptuous surround
ings and quite in keeping with the re-
fined and noted automobile known as
the Royal Tourist.
In consonance with this determine
ton they have last week added to
their staff one of the beset posted au-
tomobile men in the country, tech
nically and practically. c. Fuller
Gates, who until recently conducted
the lively little weekly-Pacific Motor
ing-has taken charge Of the sales
department of the firm of Mountain
& Carrigan and will lead in the ag
gressive campaign mapped out for the
future.
Mr.. Gates with his familiarity with
lIle dulOHlODlle anu HlOlOlCytiC buSl-
ness, as we'll as his many years Of
connection with a local newspaper in
the publicity department, has accu-
mulated the most extensive knowledge
of automobiles In general known to
the Pacific coast. There is not a rec
ord in either of the classes that is
not upon his finger tips, and with that
may be added the history of the man
ufacture of almost every car made in
the United States. Versatile upon the
subject, and with so splendid a piece
of mechanical skill as the Royal Tour
list, 1t may be certain that the business
of the firm will be rapidly and thor
oughly advanced.
The firm of Mountain & Carrigan
stands high as practical automobile
representatives. The senior partner
has been through every grade of the
technical part of the business, while
his partner, Thomas Carrigan. ranks
among the most popular of the au-
tomobile world, with a wide world
knowledge of men and things in gen
eral that come before the observing
and practical man. Genial in person.
ality, broad in his views, generous to
a fault, 1t requires but a few mo-
ments with Tom Carrigan to feel that
you are with the big. whole -souled
man of the world.
That rapid progress will be made in
the policy of the firm viii scarcely be
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-14

fer company who now own one Of the
big type and they generally know
what they are about when investing in
transportation vehicles.
1t seems almost super1uous to state
again that the day of the faithful old
dray horse is ALMOST beyond recall,
and must take his place again in the
pasture field or in remote sections
where the demand for motor trucks is
as remote as the place itself.

Jimmy Rogan, mechanician of the
Cadillac which came to grief on Sun
day after the magnificent showing it
had been making for over $50 miles,
accounts wholly for his escape from
more serious injury or death to the
fact that he carried with him a little
ivory Billiken. After the accident he
came running to The Herald represen-
tative, dug down into his overcoat
pocket and pulled out the little Chi
nese god, remarking, "See this; that
