been praCticed upon her.
That the realty property was COM

furnished by her, and the remainder by

NOTES OF THE AUTO
One of the noteworthy features of
the national good roads convention held
in Cleveland recently, was the universal
acceptance of the fact that the prob
lem thrust upon road makers by the
increasing use of the automobile must
be met in the most practical and scien-
tific manner. The complaints once so
loud against road destruction by motor
ears are no longer important Instead
of endeavoring to eliminate the auto
mobile from the roads, the solution of
the difficulty is now clearly turning to
road improvements and the use of bet
ter material in construction. The
United States office of public roads has
performed q valua bic service in this
respect in its recent road tests in CO.
operation. with the American automo-
interest is still further illustrated by
the recent action of the engineering
department. of Cornell university, which
has arranged with the United States
of comparative tests of road building
materials. A road consisting of a
number OF different materials will be
built, the road to be utilized for this
purpose being a continuation of the
state road at East Ithaca, N Y. 1t
will be constructed in sections of brick
concrete and bituminous macadam of
different kinds. Nearly dozen manu-
facturers of bituminous macadam have
decided to cooperate with the univer-
sity authorities in this work. The road
will be inspected by engineers well
versed in road building and the result
of the tests when published will un-
doubtedly be of great value toward de-
termining the most efficient methods
for road construction.
The Spanish military authorities have
found a new use for automobile gog-
giles. IT is reported that. owing to the
tremendous heat and sandstorms in the
Riff district of Morocco, arrangements
are being made in Madrid to send about
10000 pairs of goggles for the use of
the Spanish troops.
Edward c. HUM of Philadelphia who
has made a study of the subject of
keeping motor ears in a perennial con-
dition of newneSS, says that the paint
on an automobile can be preserved in
definitely if the soap is dissolved and
applied in semiliquid form instead of
in its raw state. He suggests the dis
solving of 20 pounds of soap in % gall
Ions of water and figures saving of
20 per cent in soap bills by use of the
solution.

ANOTHER COMPANY
ENTERS RATE WAR
Fare on the Admiral Sampson
Is Cut to SIS and So to
Los Angeles
Travel by Rail Seriously Af-
fected by the Battle Now
Raging on the Sea

The steamship rate war between here
and Los Angeles received fresh impetus
yesterday when : the Alaska Pacific
steamship company announced its in
tention of getting into the fight. This
company operates three steamers on
the coast, but only one, the Admiral
Sampson, between here and Los An
geles, where the Sampson, which also
runs to Seattle, makes trip twice a
MONTH
The Admiral Sampson will make its
next trip to San Pedro tomorrow, and
the rates announced for that sailing
are the same as that in effect on the
Pacific Coast steamship companys big
steamers President and Governor S5
first class and SO second class. The
entrance of the Alaska Pacific company
into the fight leaves the North Pacific
steamship company, which operates the
Roanoke and George W. Elder, the only
regular line maintaining the old rates.
FOR sELF-PROTECTIoN
w. D. Wells, general agent for the
Alaska Pacific steamship company, said
that he had gone into the fight as
matter of self protection. The Admiral
Sampson, which until now has main
tanned the old rate, has been running
practically empty while the ships of
IIsdI iIiICS nave DSGll DOOKeQ Iull a
week in advance of sailing date.
The fight was started by the steamer
st. Croix, which was brought down
from Seattle and placed on the south
ern run at rates just one half the regu-
lar fare. The Pacific Coast steamship
company met the competition by re-
arranging its schedule and later by
making bigger cut, which the ST
CroiX people partly met. The little
steamer Hanelei next joined the fight,
and now comes the Admiral Sampson
into the battle.
AFFECTS RAIL TRAVEL
The steamship war has had the ef-
feet of considerably reducing travel
between here and Los Angeles by rail,
and the next move looked for is some
action by the Southern Pacific and
Santa Fe toward getting back their
lost patronage. Meanwhile fine weather
at sea favors those travellers who are
tempted by the cheap rates, and those
thrifty folk who have discovered that
travelling by sea between here and Los
Angeles is cheaper than staying at
home
