STARTED MACHINE ON
SPARK AFTER TWO WEEKS

A remarkable instance of long-sus-
tanned motor car cylinder compression
was brought to light not long ago in
Seattle Wash, by NJ. S. Brigham, the
Cadillac dealer in that city.
Mr. Brigham received a shipment of
1910 Cadillac cars, and when the first
one was run down from the freight
house platform he took his seat, and,
without preliminary eranking Of the en-
gine, started the car on the spark
alone
This was done by simply igniting the
charge of gas, which had been retained
in the cylinder from the time it left the
Cadillac factory, at Detroit. September
"a. 1t arrived in Seattle October 8, hav-
ing been en- route two weeks to the day
1t is a common thing for owners to
start their car on the spark after they
have been standing idle an hour or
two but no instance in which the mo-
tor has been started on the spark after
being dead for two full weeks has ever
been made public.
The fact that this Cadillac held COM
preston for a time of so great length
is undoubtedly due to the methods Of
manufacture employed in the great
Cadillac plant. 1t is well known that
the motor and all other mechanism of
the Cadillac are constructed on a scale
of measurement of which the thou
sandth part of an inch is the unit.
Thus, there cannot be a deviation of
the one-thousandth of an inch from
the stipulated size of the cylinder, pis-
ton or piston ring.
This perfect fit of the parts control
ling and directing the movements of
the gas in the cylinder is directly re-
sponsible for two weeks retention, in
this Cadillac engine, of gas compressed
to the firing point.

E.-M.-F. COVERS STATE
IN SEALED BONNET RUN

A full weeks travel entirely through
the state of Ohio, over bad roads oc-
asioned by heavy rains, made a fine
record for consistent work on the part
of the Studebaker EMF car, carrying
A. r. Davis and his party on a sealed
bonnet run last week. Starting on Mon
day with all of the working parts of
the car officially sealed, the party made
Elyria, Oberlin, Norwalk and Ashland
in the rain and mud. On Tuesday and
Wednesday they made Mansfield, Bucy-
rus, Marion, Delaware and Columbus,
over fair roads. spending nearly day
with the Columbus agent demonstrate
ing the car i'm his territory. Thursday
they made Springfield, Lima, Dayton,
Hamilton and Cincinnati over tolerably
good roads. Leaving Cincinnati on
Friday and Saturday they made VIII
mington, Circleville, Lancaster, Zanes-
vile, Wheeling, Steubenville and were
en- their way to Canton for Sunday.
The car has worked so perfectly that
demonstrations along the way at the
various agencies have brought Mr..
Davis orders in hand for thirty-five
cars taken in the towns passed
through.

SAN DIEGO NOW HASA
DEALERS ASSOCIATION
ORGANIZATION EFFECTED AND
GOOD START MADE
Price Cutting and Trading PROPOSE
tions Are to Be Eliminated-Big
Good Roads Fund Is Now
Available

No matter how many races are on,
what their extent or whether Shelter
wins or loses, Leon T. is busy about
other affairs at the same time as
though there were no Phoenix prizes at
stake or PoTtola road contests.
During the past week Mr.. Shettler
went to san Diego, where he has a
branch house, and while down in the
southern city discovered that the san
Diego dealers had awakened to the re-
alization that il was about time they
got together and formed an automobile
dealers association. And they have
one now. and the new organization
starts off under the most promising cir
cumstances. The title of the organlza-
tion is the Automobile Dealers associa-
tion of san Diego. They have elected
J. w. swan president; F. b. Nailor,
vice president; Wilson Smith, secre-
tary, and Warner N Bateman, treas
urer, and have a membership of sixteen
to start with, which takes in practically
every automobile dealer and large ga
rage in San Diego.
The membership is as follows: Leon
q. Shelter, San Diego branch, hand
ling REQ, Apperson, Kisselkar and
Woods electric; L. B. Nailor, handling
the Buick and Premier; Wilson Smith,
handling the Franklin; Warner w.
Pateman, Studebaker; Bowser & Allen,
Tourist. Tibballs-Gavin company, the
MAXWELL Hunt Automobile company,
Stoddard- Dayton, Lozier and overland ;
Kessler Mahcine company Mitchell;
silver Gate garage White; san Diego
Garage, Chalmers-D Detroit; Campbell
Machine company, Stevens-Duryea.
Also the following firms, which do
not handle automobiles, simply doing a
garage business: Baker Manufacturing
company, Davis & Cotton, Horning q
Hill, c. A. Sheppard company, Auto
Tire company.
They are going after the price cutting
and trading proposition, but the main
object of the association is for the deal
ers to get closer together and cut out
the rough work as well as to boost for
the fair i'm 1915, which every one in san
Diego seems to be taking very seri-
ously.
The s1.25O,0OO appropriation for San
Diego county roads IS now available
The highways commission consists
of John ID. Spreckels. Mr.. Scripps and
Mr.. Spaulding, three of the biggest
good roads boosters in the state. The
engineering force is getting busy and
results may he expected before very
long
1t is understood that one Of the first
projects is to fix the coast road up from
San Diego, connecting with Orange
county. so that the travel between
here and san Diego will be increased
to considerable extent, as this is one of
the pleasantest drives in the state,
providing the road is in very good con-
dition.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-07

continues Mr.. Bennett, Il would recall
one fact in the history Of British motor
ing. Last year the Royal Automobile
club took three Cadillac cars pulled
them to pieces, discarded such parts as
they wished to have replaced ninety-
one in alb, called upon us to supply
them Immediately, then rebuilt three
cars from the debris. The conditions
were that no single part must be filed
or changed in any way from the con-
dition in which it left the factory.
This test was successfully accom-
plished, and one of the cars thus re-
assembled was sent on the 20O0 miles
r. A. c. trials without any preliminary
tuning up. and finishing by winning at
Brooklands the cup for its class. This
is a trial which we have challenged the
world, outside America. to equal, and l
have no hesitation i'm asking Mr.. Penn
berton-as the champion of English,
French and German cars, of which he
says the Americans are such poor imi-
tators-to produce any car. no matter
if it costs ten times the price OF the
Cadillac, which can equal this stand
ardization test. Until Mr. Pemberton,
or any other European maker, can do
this l think it i'll becomes him to con-
denim American cars in general as
'ShOddy.'" "

Was Not a Special Car

{ "An erroneous impression has become
prevalent to the effect that the Buick
car entered and driven by Carl Chris
tiansen in the Oakland Portola road
race was a social car sent out by the
Buick factory for that event" said r.
K. Roberts Of the Howard Automobile
company. so generally did the rumor
circulate that it was announced as a
fact by the press throughout the state,
and although contradictions of the error
have subsequently been made i'm ore
or two instances there are many callers
daily at our salesroOms who are yet i'm
ignorance on the subject, and il is now
only just to state that the Buick car
in question was and is now the prop
erty Of DR. w. y. Huntington of Oak
land, having been i'm use by him during
the entire past season and loaned by
him to Christiansen for use ON that
OccagiOn"

Fine Piece Of Work

When the little Corbin turned in last
Saturday and Sunday and cleaned up
the Ascot park meet with FIVE first
prizes for the two days exhibition the
evidence was furnished that master
hand had carefully gone over the ear
and put her in the pink of condition.
This was done by f.. A. Heune of the
Corbn Motor Car company. Mr.. Heune
is an expert of many years standing in
the factories of the east, and with his
knowledge of the Corbin cars it was an
easy matter for him to adjust every
part of the car to the state of perfec-
ton that was shown in the remarkable
running of the car. for Frank Free,
who had just been in the Portola races
at Oakland the week previous, had
only to take his seat in the drivers $
chair and send the car TO the hand
some chain of victories she then COM
pleted. 1t was a cleancut sweep, and
to the work and care of Mr. Heune the
Corbin may attribute much of its sue
cess.

MitchelIs Due TO Arrive

The first shipment of Mitchell Thir-
ties has left the factory and should
he here within the next week. Begin
ming this week two carloads or more a
week will be shipped to the Greer
Robbins company. The first Of the six
cylinder Mitchells will leave this week.
The local company has booked many
orders in advance and the news that
the cars were at last on the way for
delivery was cause for general rejoic-
ing.
2. H. Greer Of this company is now
making a tour of the desert, inspecting
the Mitchell stage line which runs be-
tween Moiave and Lone Pine. He will
be back this week.

Tremendous Road system

In mileage the United States has the
most tremendous system of roads
which any country has ever possessed
since the world began. According to
careful road census, the length of
all of our roads amounts to 2,155,000
miles. The most liberal estimate of
our annual expediture on these roads,
both in money and labor, was a frac-
ton over S79,0OO,O 900 in 1904 or about
81 .O5 per capita. At the same rate, this
would be an expenditure of about $780,
100000 a year. at the present time.
England, with only 100000 miles of
road, spends about $SO,0O0,000 year or
about fourteen times as much per mile.

New York Company Might Be
Induced to Locate a Plant
Here in Near Future
RAILWAY COMPANY BOOSTING

Agent Albert Parr Of the Chicago
and Northwestern Railway Company
has received letter from the land
department of the company asking him
to make an effort to interest Keno
sha people in the location Of the factory
of Nicholson and Company now doing
business at $50. Broadway, New York
City. The letter does not give great
amount of detail in regard to the fac
tory but it is said that the company is
seeking a factory from two to five
stories in height with floor space of
100000 square feet. This of course
is not an offer to Kenosha alone, but
the railway company is interested in
locating the plant of the company
somewhere along it's lines. The line
of business in which the company is
engaged is not stated in the letter,
but it is stated that a location is
sought at place where large number
of female employees can be secured. Ke-
nosha has for years been known as
city where it was easy for women to
find employment and it is probable
that this fact would assist in landing
the company's plant in Kenosha.
This proposition might be taken up
in connection with the effort to secure
the plant of the Municipal Engineer
ing Company of Winthrop Harbor in
Kenosha. There are two large factory
sites to the north of the city owned
by the men who went into the pool
when the mattress factory was located
here and this land would probably be
available for the location of two
plants. Agent Parr is laying the
matter before the business men of the
city ana it is certain that it will be
looked into by these men and if the
plant is found worthy an effort will
be made to secure its location in Ke-
nosha.

NOT TO HOLD CONVENTION
State Chairman Doesn't Believe That
Republicans Will Hold Convention

That state convention for the
preparation Of Republican state plat
form was not likely to be held and
that he believed such a convention
would be violation at least of the
spirit of the Wisconsin primary law
was the statement made Wednesday
by E. A. Edmonds, chairman of the
Republican state central committee.
Mr.. Edmonds, Judge R.. G.. Cowle of
the state board of control, and Assem-
blyman A. T. Twesme of Trempealeau
county were the principal figures in a
conference in Milwaukee in which con-
ditions in the Northwestern part of
the state were discussed.
The attention of Mr.. Edmonds was
called to the proposition for Repub-
lican municipal platform convention in
Milwaukee and he was asked if it was
likely that a state convention along
similar lines, and possibly for the en-
dorsement of candidates, would be
held.
Mr.. Edmonds was inclined TO the
opinion that such "a convention would
not be held.

MAINS TO COVER THE VILLAGE
People Raise $500 to Pay for the
Installation Of Cisterns and Hy-
drants and for the Purchase of
Apparatus.
(From THURSDAYS DaiIv)


The village of, New Munster in the
town Of Wheatland in the western part
of the county is to set new example
for the villages of the county as the
people there have banded together and
with the opening Of the spring will
install a water plant for the protection
of the buildings of the village against
fire. Tt will also be used to furnish
water to the residents of the town. In
addition to this the New Munster fire
department will be organized with IL.
G. Hofner, the well known justice of
the peace as its first chief. The de-
partment will have its home on the
principal street of the village and it
will have fire fighting apparatus second
to that of no village in the state Of
Wisconsin. During the past two
years the village has had heavy fire
losses. ST. Alphonse church was burn
ed with loss of $4,000 and several
large barns were destroyed and this
led the people to take up the plan
OF installing a proper system of fire
protection. At first it was planned
to purchase an old engine and dig a
well bat picnic was held and $500
raised and since that time the people
of the village have subscribed more
than $1,000 to the fund.
The apparatus formerly used at
Kewaunee, Wis, has been purchased by
the committee in charge made up of
Ben ,Kirkman, William Biemer and
Justice Homer and the work of in
sta1ling mains and the MIGRANTS will
be contributed by the people of the
village.
More than three quarters Of mile
of mains will be laid in the village
and they will be laid in such a manner
that they will be accessible to all por-
tions of the village. It is expected
that the installation Of the department
will result in big reduction in the
cost Of insurance to the residents of
the village.
Chief Homer was in Kenosha today
looking over the Kenosha Central En-
CINE House and getting some pointers
on the best way to manage depart
ment and he expects to have a volun-
teer department which will be made
up of practically every man in the
village. It is expected that the de-
partment will be ready for its first
call by the first Of next June. In
other villages of the county where
there is much larger population than
at New Munster the fire protection is
limited to bucket brigade.

Kenosha Women as Well as
Men Have Chance to Serve
as Census Enumerators
MUST PASS The EXAMINATIONS

Kenosha women are to have chance
to compete with mere men for the
place of enumerators of the national
census as Director Durand Wednesday
handed down decision in which he
declared that either men or women
may be employed for the work Of TAX
ing the census and there is to be
no partiality shown in making the ap-
pointments. If any Kenosha woman
is able to pass the examination offer
ed by the government and show high
er degree of proficiency than the men
taking the examination she will be en-
titled to place in the government en-
ploy.
This is the first time that women
have been given this chance and the
militant .sufragists throughout the
country are hailing the decision as a
great victory for the women. There
is no doubt but that number of
women in Kenosha will seek appoint
ment as enumerators and D. Elmer
Roberts of Racine who has been named
as director of the census in this dis
trict has already received number
of applications from women. The
civil service examination for the Sc
lection of the enumerators will be held
early in January and this will give
the women chance to show just what
they can do in the way of passing the
examinations which in the past nave
been open only to the men of the
country.
It is thought that thousands of
women will find places on the govern
ment pay roll during the taking of
the census. The work required is such
as can be done by women and there
is no reasonawhy they should not have
at least a portion of the places. The
president and Director Durand have
both declared that no political influence
will bear any weight in the selection
of the enumerators.
