WOMAN AUTOIST
MAKES RECORD
MRS. RAMSEY AND PARTY
REACH BAY CITY
FIRST TRANsCoNTlNENTAL TOUR
A SUCCESS
Demonstrates That New York to San
Francisco Run Is Possible, and
Trip Is Made Without
Mishap

After Just thirty-five days of tour
ing Mrs John r. Ramsey Of Hacken-
sack. N. J.. drove her Maxwell car into
san Francisco, completing the first
transcontinental trip in a motor car
ever made by woman, accomplishing
without mishap what she had set out
to accomplish, proving, too, her con-
tention that tour across the unlted
states from New York to San Fran
cisco was easy for a woman II driving
the right car.
Not only did Mrs Ramsey and her
Maxwell successfully make the tour
of nearly 1900 miles, but from start to
finish she drove the ear all the way
and made all adjustments ard changed
the tires when necessary, again prov
ing to the motoring world that male
mechanics were not necessary on long
tour, especially when made in Max
well car, all of which goes to prove the
assertion of the manufacturers of the
ear that ii is simply perfect and per
fectly simple.
When Mrs Ramsey. accompanied by
Mrs. n. r.. Powell, Mrs. w. Atwood and
Miss II. Jahns, all of Hackansack. left
New York on June a cold drizzle was
falling. The conditions were anything
but bright for the start Of tour OF
this kind, the first as has been said,
ever lldOe ny HbHl6ll ullhtSplll bailLSN
by man.
The roads were bad and slippery and
for several days after the start the rain
continued to fall, but once on to the
fine macadam roads of the east no i'll
effects were felt excepting those as a
result of the wearing of heavy gar
ments for the sake of warmth and pro-
lection from the rain.
Through Rochester, Albany and to
Buffalo, n. Y, fine time was made. the
women being met all along the way by
motor enthusiasts who wished them
well on the long trip ahead of them
At Buffalo a lay-off of several days
was made in order to attend the many
receptions and such arranged for them
Once on the way again, however, the
time was made through Cleveland, To-
ledo, South BEND to Chicago, where
several days We're again lost as a re-
suit of the hospitality of the people
of that city who wished to show their
appreciation of what the four fair mo-
torists were doing. Here too, Mrs.

And what's more Important
these cars are down-to-th the-very-
minute cars in every detail.
They are not strictly 1909 cars
in anything but the year they
were made-and most 1910 cars
are built in 1909.
Eastern manufacturers-sell-
ing a large percentage of their
product in the east-have a very
limited season. Their active sales
are practically confined to few
winter and spring months. Early
in the summer they discontinue
the manufacture of the seasons
cars and start the line for the
following year.
The Tourist factory, selling
most of its product in the south
west, has an active sale twelve
months in the year. We build
one years cars right up to the
time we are ready to deliver
the next years. But, no matter
what the time of year, as soon
as an important improvement is
adopted-it's put in active use.
We are always improving. Diff
ferent from most factories-who
hold over improvements for the
next season-our line progresses
by a gradual evolution from one
seasons cars into the next.
This fixed Tourist policy is
your absolute protection. You
know, no matter when you buy
a Tourist, you're getting a car
with every modern improve-
ment.
These cars are here on our
floor. Come in and critically eX-
anime them. Compare them care
fully with the advance showing
of other cars.

FARES
ON RAILROAD

The Oahu Railway and Land Com.
pany has had in contemplation the re.
duction of passenger rates for some
time, and is about to publish list of
reduced fares all over the system to
take effect on and after March l next
The schedule of rates is being issued
now in accordance with a requirement
of the Interstate Commerce Commits.

schedule be on file at the Interstate
Bureau in Washington thirty days be.
fore it becomes effective here.
The new rates are based on three
cents per mile, frst.class single fares;
21a cents per mile, second-class single
fares, and 21a cents per mile, frst-class
return, and two cents per mile for
second-class return.
This is a voluntary reduction on the
part of the railroad company, which is
taking this action of its own volition,
as it has done in the past, without any
direct request from the travelling pub
lie.
When the Wahiawa branch was es.
tablished, a high rate per mile was
adopted on that section, but now the
company has brought the Wahiawa
branch in the same rate arrangement
as is in vogue on other parts of the
line. For example, the rate has been
cut on the Wahiawa trip from $175
to $1.25, first-class, and second-class
from $l.55 to $1.O0.
AS an instance of the cut on the
main line, the original fare from Homo
lulu to Eva, frst-class, was $175. The
rate has been gradually scaled down
until the new March schedule makes
the rate 80 cents, and this without
request of any kind being made of
the company. 1t has been the policy
of the company 10 carry larger nun.
