being misled as to the course that at
tention should be given. The sand is
heavy and at Chuckawalla in the can
yons there is a heavy wash for about
forty miles, and here the cars time is
clipped off somewhat and the low
must be used for a long distance. But
there are harder roads than even that
part of the course
There is one serious thing the drivers
must go up against, and that is at the
ferry at Ehrenberg. The river is very
low and there are sandbars at the ferry
landing where the float is often
stuck and there is bound to be delay
at this place for the time of arrival
there must be daytime, as the Indians
will not work after dark. 1t will take
d long time to work over a dozen cars
at this place.
From the Arizona side in to Phoenix
the roads again improve over those of
the western side. An ample supply of
gasoline should be carried on the rae
ing cars when they start, and 1t is well
to have a small supply of canned meats
of some kind down in the kit for case
of emergency.
Take it all in all there is no better
route to test the capacity of car than
the Phoenix course. There are no hard
hills to climb, and it is more a test of
drivers than of cars, but it would take
a horrible stretch of imagination to call
the Phoenix road the names one has
heard it charged with being in the past.
Note this prediction: There will be
some unexpectedly fast time between
Los Angeles and Phoenix made in the
coming race by cars and men who
laugh at terrible roads,, but attack
them and overcome them by skilled apd
thought more than anything

BUICK s4O' CROSSES
CONTINENT With EASE
MAKES SIDE TOURS, AND Is
NOW IN LOS ANGELES
Not Repair of Any Kind Necessary,
and Machine Is Running More
Perfectly Than Ever
Before

Standing in the garage of the Buick
agency, for which the Howard Automo-
bileSompany is the representative, is a
Buick 40 that arrived there yesterday
and has made Il record that adds to the
staying qualities of the Buick cars.
This car is owned by DR.. r. c. Tired
well, for many years a practicing phys
ician of New York city, and who is
now visiting in Los Angeles, having
made the trip from the metropolis
across the continent in this car.
The doctor has long been a horse
fancier, and has constantly maintained
a stable of four thoroughbreds until he
was violently seized with the automo-
bile mania of the most malignant char
acter. So virulent and progressive was
the form of the disease that its>Tav-
ages were stayed only by the treatment
of the last resort, and the employment
OF this heroic method soon found the
doctor well and happy and en- route to
the Pacific coast in his Buick DO tour
ing car.
Leaving New York on June IA, and
accompanied by Mrs. Tredwe1l and her
brother. DIR. Tredwell steered up the
west side of the Hudson and toward the
Katskill mountains. Erie, Pa, was the
next objective point, after which short
stops were made at Ashtabula, CleVe-
land and Toledo, Ohio. Three weeks
nishing amusement for the tourists for
period of one month, and at Denver
a stop of three weeks was also made.
The route was taken through Cheyenne
and Laramie, and followed as closely
as possible the Union Pacific railroad
as far as Green river, where the course
was laid for Portland, Ore, and then
to San Francisco the party having just
reached Los Angeles from the northern
city.
A complete camping outfit was car
ried on the machine, and many nights
their tent was pitched in true old over
land tourist fashion by the roadside.
The physician has been his own chauf-
feur and mechanician on the entire trip,
and is very loud in his praises for the
perfect manner in which, his machine
has come through the many trying or
deals to which is has been subjected on
the long journey. The doctor says there
were no roads at all in the state Of
wyoming, and upon reaching the sales
rooms of the Howard Automobile COM
pany, after a brief description of the
great obstacles which were encoun-
tered, and asked what work he desired
done on his machine bofore proceeding
on his journey, he replied: There is
not one thing necessary to be done to
my machine. 1t is running more per-
fectly today than when 1 left New
York"

any doubt of what O'Donnell will do

and wise old look-Joe Coberly, who is
still in Phoenix going over plans for
their arrival there.
A dangerous-very dangerous car is

has been in automobile Doctor Bert
Latham's hands for some time and if
there ever was a compactly construct
ed machine Latham is driving that ma
chine to Phoenix as these lines are be-
ing written. And Latham knows the
desert like a coyote. He has been over
it and can scent the right trail, and he
has a little car that is likely to bother
some of the heavy boys.
The latest car to enter for the
Phoenix run is the popular and splen-
didly. constructed Columbia entered at
ley and Young, who are the agents for
the cars with national name on the
Pacific coast. This car is already
geared and tuned up to racing pitch
and is like the well-trained prize
fighter, always kept in condition"
The Columbia has maize a local repu-
tation in several events and earned it
route to size up the terrific roads"
during the next few days and will be
in the running when the timekeepers
get busy at the finish.
Two additional cars are believed to
be practically ready to close their en-
tries on Monday, as the time for re-
ceiving further entries is marked for
noon Monday, after which there is no
chance to get in the list.
A meeting of the entrants is to take
place at the Hollenbeck hotel at 2
o'clock Monday, at which time the final
instructions will be given as to the
rules governing the contest and all
made perfectly clear to those who will
participate I'm the running.
In this connection it has been intt-
mated that whenever there is to be

of John Mitchell of the Hollenbeck |
should be drafted or engaged as the |

exists that he is the -the-money |

1t was at first thought that the

endeavoring to smother the fire by
building walls about it. The walls
on the south side of the burning
area have been sealed and the Of

Shock to His Home Town
lPomeroy Denlocrnt.l /


The community was shocked
Tuesday morning upon learning of
the death of John A. Bowen, which
occurred shortly before 8 o'clock,
at his home on German Avenue.
But few of his friends had heard
Of his illness, and those who had
did not understand that his con
dition was go serious, so that his
death came as bolt from clear
sky, and those who first heard it
were 10th tn believe it,
Exactly a week before he had
met with what was considered
triIling injury, running a splinter
from hemlock board into his
5humb, which while it was pelnful
was not looked upon as at all seri-
Gus. 1t went deep however, and
the pieces of wood were not gotten
out entirely, and the hand aud arm
soon began TO swell rapidly and
blood poisoning resulted. He suf-
fered untold agony with the balm
during the last day or two, for
nothing could be done to stop the
spread of the poison and it per-
meated his entire body.
Deceased was about so years
old, and one of the best known
men in Pomeroy. He was brake
man on Hooking Valley passenger
train, and had held tthe position
for many years, in fact being one
of the oldest men in the employ of
that company in point of contin-
uous service. He began work for
that road when it first extended
it's line to Pomeroy, and had con-
tinued in the service of the COM
pany ever since, most of the time
as passenger brakeman.

Tubes of "dry powder extin,

Hand grenades are bottles full

Any substance must be made

the atoms of carbon in it, so they
can join atoms of the oxygen in

there is blaze. Anything that

there is no longer heat enough to
turn loose the carbon atoms, will

Water takes more heat away

Fighting Fire in the Home

What should be feared more
than the burning of home?
There is danger that the lives of
the loved ones or our own, will be
lost; danger of loss of all the
building cost; danger of loss of
pictures and gifts of absent or
dead dear ones and other precious
things that money could not get
again. But in few houses. very
few, Is there anything at hand
with which to put out starting
fire, that would make ashes of
these household treasures and of
the home as we'll.
A ladder is often needed to get
water to fire started in the roof,
or attic, by sparks and to- save the
lives of persons in the upper
stories, for a fire in dwelling
soon makes the stairway impassa-
BILE from smoke or flames. A lad
der can be made in day, or

lars.
In farm house kitchen there
should be bucket kept full of
water with which to stay start
ing fire. The bucket used for
water for cooking and drinking is
full less than half the time. Fire
buckets are made with round bot
toms and held up by shelf with
a hole in it, or hung on nail.
One could not put to any other
use a bucket that would not stand
on it's own bottom, so it would not
be removed from its place. In
winter salt is put in the water in
fire bucket to keep it from freez
ing. Such bucket should be
kept on each floor of every home.
They may be hidden in ornamen-
tai boxes.
The most effective piece of ap-
paratus for putting out starting
fire is one of the metal tanks
known as "carbonic acid gas eX-
tinguishers." which are seen on
nearly every fire department wag
on. They hold two bucketfuls of
water and have diameter one
third their height. AT the top of
the tank is piece of hose a yard
long. When the tank is inverted,
ready for use suIphuric acid is spill
led, from bottle in its top, into
cup full of baking soda. When
they get together soda-water is
formed Which makes pressure
that will throw the water and gas
in the tank forty feet, or into in
closed places which would not be
reached with water bucket.
The gas carried by the water
helps greatly in smothering the
flame. If water carrying car
bonic acid gas is thrown on a fire
between ceiling and the floor
above it, the blaze is smothered at
once by lack of air. This extin-
guisher is worth most used from
above the blaze, because carbonic
acid gas being heavier than air
falls, Each of the three gallons
of water in the can, take out with
it 20 gallons of the gas. Firemen
have carbonic acid tanks holding
40 gallons which are called chem
ical engines, for use on fires that
have lgnited only one or two rooms,
They cause little water damage.
Twenty-one makers of these ex-
tinguishers have them officially
tested with pressure of $50
pounds to the square inch so there
