Kicks From St. Martin and
iberia.

AStuDptiVu L iVucci.
During the past three weeks
strong protests have been appear.
Ing in the daily papers, which pro.
tests come from the parishes of St
Martin and Iberia, aud are aimed
at the Atchafalaya Levee Basin
District, because that levee board
has bound itself to contribute
$4,000 for the building of the
Bayou Lafonrche Locks at Dom
aIdsonviIle, provided that the work
is taken in charge by the United
States Government. The La
fourche Levee Basin District has
also bound itself 10 the same man.
ner as the Atchafalaya levee board.
1t seems perfectly clear to US,
a. We remarked in these columns
some time ago, that it the people
Of St. Martin or Iberia parishes,
had a complaint to make against
the Atchafalsya levee board un-
dertaking one half of the construc-
ton of locks in Bayou Lafourche,
it should have been made some
years ago when the members of
that board bound themselves to
the United States and to the State
of Louisiana to build the Bayou
Lafourche locks jointly with the
Lafourcbs levee board.
We do not blame the people of
st. Martin and Iberia for asking
for protection from the high-water
of the AtchafaIaya, they arc emit
tle,i to this protection, aud DO
doubt the AtchafsIays levee board
will see that they get it. but We do
strenuousIy object to their trying
to place obstacles in the way of an
undertaking like the building of
the Bayou Lsfourohe locks, which
project does not concern them in
the least. 1t looks very much like
spite. or jealousy.
Our friends over in st. Martin
and Iberia, have a wrong idea of
the whole situation, We feel sure,
for if they were posted they would
not say boo about those $4,000
which they imagine belongs to
them. Suppose the locks are not
built as proposed; the United
States Government will not COLI
tlnue to grant extensions of time
forever to the Lafourchs and Atch-
afalaya levse boards, which boards
have promised the Government to
build the locks. Once the Goveru-
ment refuses the extension of time
and orders the temporary dam at
Doualdsonville removed, instead
OF costing the AtchafaIaya levee
board that $4,000, it will cost
more than $4,000 for it's share
for the rebuilding of the levees
along Bayou Lafourche. And what
is more, it will cost it a large
amount every year for the main
tenance of the Bayou Lafourche
levees.
Once that the locks are built in
Bayou Lafourche, both the La
fourche and Atchafslaya lever
boards will have a big load taken
from their shoulders and they will
be ID position to spend the funds
which were used on the levees of
Bayou Lafourche, in other sections
of Tho J;ax.;ok

thai are bad in spots, to be sure, but these
rough conditions only ado to the siren
uosity OF the test and make the event what
it is meant to be-a reliability run with
the best care maintaining the most likely
chance of registering perfect scores"
Charles j. GlIdden, donor Of the trophy,
expressed the same sentiments as tho
chairman Of the tour. Mr., Glidden, in
fact. is SO well pleased with the progress
Of this years tour that he has announced
that he will recommend to the American
Automobile association that the contest
next year be over a transcontinenta route.
The present plan is to start the run in
San Francisco and finish either in New
York or Boston. Chairman Hover has
been sounding the manufacturers as to
their views on this run and several look
with favor upon the project as it would
be handled under liberal rules. The far
western country hardly knows Of the an
nual tours and 1t is this field that the
manufacturers desire to open up. Many of
the drivers in the present contest will enter
the flag to flag race from Denver to the

Everybody Well Pleased.

ct am pleased and vindicated," said Mr..
Hover in speaking of the tour. There are
those who scoffed at the idea of conduc-
ing a Glidden tour west of the Mississis-
sippi river. Some thought the contestants.
would be the laughing stock of a lot of
agriculturists or would never get through
the so-called impossible roads of clay, sand
and dirt, Ask any Of the contestants or
non-contestants how they have enjoyed
the trip. They will uphold me in the state
ment that never before has the annual
tour developed into such a pleasant un-
d~ertaking. The tourists have found roads
Omaha daily bee., 1909-07-22

There are four cars in the present run
which may be placed in the freak class.
These are two Brush runabouts, one Hup-
mobile and the Rapid truck. The first two
named are little seven horse power ma
chimes built in Detroit, and they have
been plugging right along with the more
costly cars. The two machines along with
the Hupmobile have withdrawn as active
contestants, because the time schedule is
too fast for them. but the three light cars
always check in shortly after the high
powered motors, and are greeted with
hearty cheers when they arrive at a night
control. The Rapid truck, carrying a full
load of air bottles, tires and four passengers
with baggage, has been admired for its
plucky work the entire distance. This
heavy car, built for delivery purposes, has
traversed roads more adaptable to goats
than motor cars, Sales Manager Charles
Myers, of the Rapid company, who is "A
passenger in the car stated tonight that
he would endeavor to drive the car to the
top of Pixies Peak after the tourists reach

Road conditions on the first half of the
journey have been all hat could be ex-
pected. The impression prevails in many
places that the E. NJ. F. pathfinder which
laid out the route three months ago looked
for the best roads. The fact is that Scout
Dali Lewis looked for the poorer roads,
as 1t would not be a severe test to run
the cars over macadam highways. In
Michigan the sand roads were in fair
shape, while in Indiana the going was ex-
cellent. In Illinois the clay roads were

Hotel on Wheels.

Owing to the fact that the tourists can
not find hotel Accommodations between
Omaha and Denver, and between Denver
and Kansas City, a special train of Pull
man sleeping and dining cars has been Sc
cured which will meet the travellers each
night. The equipment consists of seven
cars, four sleepers, two dining cars, and
the private car used by the chairman and
his staff. Many of the tourists failed to
secure Accommodations on the train, and
will camp out in the cars, which will be
parked alongside the train at the night
stops.

high regard for the city Of Minneapolis
and the members OF the Minneapolis Au-
tomobile club. Never before in the history
of Glidden tours have the tourists been
entertained as lavishly as they were in
the Mill City. Boat rides on the beautiful
lakes, %banquets at the club houses and,
above all, a hearty welcome that will
never be forgotten. Denver has raised
many thousands of dollars to entertain
the tourists, but 1t is doubtful If Mime
apolis will be surpassed.

the granger in the past that Chairman
Hover and his associates at first thought
the tour this year would be more or less
of an experiment to be tried on THE
western farmer. They learned, however,
that the automobiles had already been
adopted by him and that he is perhaps
the most enthusiastic witness of the event
which traverses the highway running
along the front or through his acres.

from Chicago to Madison, Wis, was in
good condition. From Madison to La
Crosse hard going was encountered and
the tourists were glad to reach the SPLEEN
did highways of Minnesota, which had
been thoroughly dragged by farmers and
MEMBERS of the Minneapolis Automobile
club. The worst roads so far were ira
versed in Iowa, where the heavy gumbo
and many washouts made speeding exceed
ingly dangerous.

with the trip not yet one-half over, Mr..
Hover has already given the west a clean
score for the cordial, hospitable manner In
which II has accepted and aided the con-
Quoting OF the greatest automobile touring
event in the history Of the country.
Everywhere along the 2,70O-mile route, a
hearty reception will be accorded the con-
testants. IL the welcome OF the last few
days of the trip may be taken as a cri-
terion. There is no difference in the man
ner, no forced applause, but real, genuine
enthusiasm greets the contestants at every
village. hamlet, town, city and cross road.
The farmers, with their open-hearted in
terest and support, have been the surprise
OF the tour.
1t was not without some apprehension
from this quarter that the 1909 Glidden
tour was awarded TO the west. So much

Experience Has Taught Them.
That the builders have advanced in motor
car construction is shown by the time
schedules of the last three Glidden tours.
The run in 1907 was from Cleveland to
Chicago to New York and the daily aver
age was ninety-seven miles. The schedule
was raised on the 1905 run from Buffalo
to Pittsburg, Boston and Saratoga to l32
miles per day. This year the average is
1877 miles and very few penalties have been
assessed so far for failure to make the
time.
The rules of the present tour make a
tie at the end of the run an impossibility.
A driver may enter every control on
schedule time and get a perfect road
score, but may be severely penalized after
the technical examination which will be
held at Kansas City when the cars check
in on the last day. The rules provide that
a car shall be penalized for even a lost or
loose nut, and to the cars which best
stand the strain the trophies will be
awarded. Three western built machines
are being picked to win the Hover cup for
roadsters. The machines are three Molines,
built in East Moline, ILL.,, and all have
perfect scores at this time. The Pierce
Arrow cars have been prominent factors
in prior tours and should also be we'll up
in the running at the finish.
