SACRAMENTO, Sept. 1S.-Koestner

a triple to left in the sixth and scored
ON Daley's sacrifice fly. This was the

DISCOMFORT IRON AUTOS.

The active demand for good horses
in all parts of the country does not
indicate the near approach Of the
horseless age which was predicted
by many writer's a few years ago
when automobiles came into general
use. The present demand, however,
Is due in no small measure to the
numerous driving clubs that have
been formed in most of the cities and
prominent towns from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, and from the st, Law
renee to the Gulf of Mexico. ,...
Except those who race on the
speedways, the number Of persons
who drive for pleasure and health
in the vicinities of cities and large
towns has fallen of greatly since au-
tomobiles have become commonly
used. This Is due partly from the
danger Of accidents caused by horses
becoming frightened by the reckless
driving of automobiles, and partly
from the injury to dirt roads and
streets caused by heavy touring cars.
The dust caused by rapidly NOV
ing automobiles is still another cause
of lettering some who love good
horses from pleasure driving as a
health promoter. The road-destroy-
Ing and dust-creating qualities OF the
automobile are likely to prove serious
questions, especially the latter. The
roads between cities and villages and
over or by the side of which trolley
cars run are already frequented by
automobiles to such an extent that
the dust raised by them makes 1t both
uncomfortable and injurious to the
health Of those who patronize the
trolley cars. In the course Of time
the boards Of health in the towns
through which these lines run are
likely TO take the matter up, and
united, persistent action on their part
is likely to result in some means
being devised to remedy the dust
evil.
II has been suggested that applica-
tions of crude petroleum to the road
beds will prevent dust, Granting
this TO be true, who is to bear the
expense of buying and applying the
petroleum? Justice demands that
the men who own or use the automo'
blles should foot the bills. 1t would
not be fair to compel the real estate
owners Of a town in which there bu'
few, perhaps no automobiles owned
TO bear. and II borne by the State thu
expense will eventually fall upol
these same tax payers. This is I
problem that the lawmakers OF tn
different States must solve sooner o
later. Cultivator.
