DENVER TO MEXICO is
LATEST RACE PROPOSED

Fully score of entries have been
secured for the Denver to the City OF
Mexico endurance run, and more are
coming in regularly. Manager George
A. Wahlgreen, donor of the handsome
trophy, has decided, at the suggestion
of F. Ed Spooner to name the contest
the Flag to Flag race, and from the
same source came the suggestion of a
trophy to consist of mountain OF sill
yer and gold from the countries repre-
sented, with the flags of the two coun-
tries crossed on the front. and formed
of the various colored stones of Col
orado and Mexico. Mr.. Wahlgreen in
tends that his shall be one of the hand
soonest trophies of the year. The fact
that Mexico is at present purchasing
American cars literally causes great
interest among the makers. Among the
many entries promised are a Jackson
car two Maxwell cars, three Thomas
cars, two Mathesons and others of equal
prominence.

ROAD RACE is
NEXT BIG CARD
DEALERS WILL CONSIDER A
COURSE TUESDAY
NOTHING OFFICIAL HAS AS YET
BEEN DONE
Number of Routes Proposed and Conn.,
mittee May Be Appointed to Take
Official and Not Individual
Action
PAGES 1 TO 8

Despite the fact that much talk has
been INDUCED in in connection with
the selection of a course over which
to run the annual road race of the Au-
tomobile Dealers association of South
ern California nothing definite, much
less official, has been decided upon.
Indeed, nothing official can be decided
on until next Tuesday night at the
regular meeting of the association. Any
talk of contrary nature is not only
premature but a reflection on the as
ISOLATION ITSELF in which many diver
sified interests are represented and in
which every members voice is pre-
sumed to speak with as much author
ity as that of any other members.
This has not been the case, literally.
however, and because of this fact 1t
is doubtful whether the race itself Will
inspire that enthusiasm and be pro-
ductive of that keen rivalry that
should exist if all members are made
to feel that they have had an equal
part in the selection of the course and
that will exist if individual members
of the association will treat the organl-
cation as a body of men composed or
an entire trade and conducted in the
interest of the entire trade.
At the meeting Tuesday night a num-
her of proposed courses will be Sug-
gested, and it is likely that the entire
matter will be placed in the hands OF
a regularly appointed committee for
final selection, and perhaps their de-
cision be made subject to the approval
of the entire association, or at least to
the executive committee.
One of these courses is the one ia
vored by Ralph c. Hamlin, local agent
of the Franklin, who has interested
himself purely because of the love or
the sport to be got out of automobile
racing and not from any m olives OIL
free advertising, and another course Is
the one advanced by w. x. Cowan,
local agent of the Rambler.
These courses are known AS the San-
tn Monica and the Dowrsey- Whittier
courses. respectively. Mr.. Hamlin has
been over the Santa Monica course very
carefully with a view to giving an in
teIligent idea of it's virtues to the as
ISOLATION Tuesday night. and he is
loud in his praises of that course.
Mr.. Cowan was first advised of the
Downey- Whittier course by his sales
manager. l.. George Thompson, who.
while formerly connected with The
Herald. always advocated that course
as against all others. Mr.. Cowan has
looked carefully into this proposed
course and thinks so well OF 1t that ne
will advocate its adoption as the one
to be selected. AS explained by MI.
Thompson. the course looks to have
MANY advantages not possessed by
other proposed courses and is not pos4-
sessed. on the other hand, of many OBJ
stacles raised against them.

OAKLAND'S DESIGNER
COINS NEW PHRASE
Man Who Designed First Successful
Cadillac Had Reference to His More
Gently Born Baby, the Oakland

E. M. Murphy president of the Oak
land Motor Car company of Pontiac,
Mich. coined a new expression when
he stated 1T is next thing to balloon
going up a hill
He had reference to the Oakland
$40" and it's ability to climb all hills.
and in this regard this model has even
surpassed the expectations of the de-
signer, A. P. Brush, one of the eminent
motor car men in the country. AS is
well known, Mr.. Brush designed the
first successful single-cylinder Cadillac
and is now vice president and chief
engineer of the Oakland Motor Car
company
The skeptics were a good deal sur
prised last year when the two-cylinder
Oakland won a perfect score in the
Glidden tour. The wise ones all shook
their heads and probably thought it the
next thing to foolishness on the part of
the company in entering this model but
these same wise ones had to take 1t all
back when the car came through the
strenuous trip with perfect score 1t
was the only $1,000 car making per-
feet run.

The Workmanship on the car is moth
ing short of exquisite. and as was said
of it the past week, is fine enough for
a king.
The Matheson is said to possess the
elements of speed, power and comfort
with such nice balance of its mechani-
cal construction as to make it almost
noiseless. AS a racing car 1t has won
its share of laurels, according to the
Hist of captured events claimed by the
factory, some of these events being
unusually gruelling tests of quality
which any car might hesitate to I'M
dergo.

Passing Incident in Affairs of
the Managers of That
Factory

The White company a few days age
shipped to Washington the seven
passenger touring car recently pur-
chased by President-elect Taft for his
personal use. There is but one feature
and that an important one-to dis
tinguish Mr.. Tafts car from any other
model NJ White steamer, namely, on
either door is painted the coat of arms
of the United States. A recent visitor
to the White fac tory, seeing the car in
the paint shop, remarked:
Il suppose that car has lot of spe-
cial features"
"Yes," replied Roilin H. White, who
was escorting the visitor, 1.-THE special
features which are found in every
White car. In other words. when we
are making a car for the president of
the United States there is no way in
which we can make it better than the
car which you or anyone else can pur-
chase from us"

week. and it will not be more than a
matter of days probably when the
Mathesons will be seen on the streets
of Los Angeles in the possession of
some happy owners.
The construction of the engine Is
uniquely different from that seen in
perhaps any car on sale in this city,
but every line and every idea embodied
in this powerful-looking piece of mech
anism appear to be in harmony with
perfectly correct principles. principles
which 1t is more than probable that
other manufacturers will. in time, learn
to follow in part, as they are more or
less pioneer In character.

To prevent any emery or other abra-
sive material from falling into the
cylinder while grinding in the valves
it is a good plan to tie a length of
strong string to a small piece of waste
and force the latter into the cylinder.
If any of the mixture should happen
to fall off the valve the waste catches
it, and when the grinding operation is
completed it may be drawn out with
the waste by means of the string.

The simultaneous passing Of f. II

brings forcibly to our attention the
contrast In their characters. both
were successful In attaining high po'
sition and great influence but here
the resemblance ends. The one lived

manity. Whatever good Hartman did
was incidental to the accomplishment
Of his own selfish purposes. The good

BUSINESS AND POSTAGE RE-
CEIPTS-NORTH HILL HIGH
LANDS SHOWING GREAT I'M
PROVEMENTS.

Pensacola's growth is attested not
alone by the recordIhreaking post
office receipts and export business.
but by the expansion of her residence
districts as well and by the substan-
tial growth that is going on there
in.
Ore of the notable developments
in residence property IS just now go
ing on in the new subdivision, North
Hill Highlands, the attractive eX-
tension of the beautiful North Hill
section. Cement sidewalks, six feet
wide, are being put in under contract
by the Whiddon Construction Co,
streets are being cleared up and grad
ed, new and handsome residences are
i'll prospect, and a year or two will
no doubt witness a very general set
ting up of that very attractive resi-
dence district.
One OF the most attractive features
of the North Hill Highlands propo-
sition is the fact that white resi-
dents, only, can buy or locate there.
1t is a white section exclusively, and
some of the hardsomest homes in
the city are already located almost

Mcclellan is only one block distant,
while the homes of Mrs. E. c. Wright
and Mr.. L. S. Brown are only two
blocks from the North Hill Highlands
tract
The tract comprises about 500 lots.
Streets are so feet wide and are being
graded as fast as the sidewalk work
progresses. The Owen-Clark Co., sales
agents for the Dallas Land Co., which
owns North Hill Highlands, are put
ting these lots on the market and are
having great many inquiries from
people outside of Pensacola, who are
acquainted with the admirable Ioca-
ton and advantages OF the property.
Several promi1ent Pensacolians have
already purchased there.

cities anywhere that can show a more
evenly balanced improvement in
every way than Pensacola. While ex-
