In the 35OO-mile transcontinental
automobile relay run recently con-
Quoted by The Philadelphia Press,
for onc-tenth of the distance between
Philadelphia and Seattle the courier
of The Press travelled in Franklin
motor cars. There were thirty 1.-TWO
relays, three of which, covered in
the Franklins, lay for $50 miles
over difficult routes through the
Rockies and their subordinate
ranges.
or the work which one of them
was called upon to do and succeeded
in doing The Press in its descrip-
tion of the event says:
Probably the worst run of the
trip was the desert sands which
stretched along the Columbia river
from Kennewick to Klona in Wash
ington. The desert is without n
road. It Is shifting sand, knee deep,
and fifteen miles across
This relay was made with n 2S-
horsepower Franklin driven by O..
l.. Compton.
The extreme measures necessary
to getting across this waste area are
shown by the declaration of The
Press that lit was necessary to lay
down canvas blankets. on which the
car slowly forged ahead" This re-
lay was one of 125 miles, and be-
cause OF the necessity of fighting
inEt n
speed of only 416 miles an hour
was possible The run was from
Walla Walla TO North Yakima.
Far different speed was possible
on the relay Immediately before this,
which likewise was covered by a
Franklin. The run was one of 122
miles, aud with J. w. Mccormack at
the wheel an average hourly speed
of 27.G miles was made in spite OF
the difficulties presented by mountain
roads. This was the fastest time
made west of the prairies of Nebras-
ka and eastern Wyoming and is a
record for the run between La Gran
de. Ore, and Wala Walla.
The third Franklin relay was that
between Soldier and Boise, Idaho, q
distance of 10 miles, over which an
average speed of 1915 miles per houI
was madt. The entire trip from
ocean to ocean was made in eleven
days and five hours.
When. after the run through the
sand. the courier was passed on from
the last Franklin to another car he

was only after n drawing OF lots
that a winner was evolved. Another
Franklin owned and driven by Frank
HIageman made n perfect score, but
in the drawing did not come in for
one of the prizes.
These successful contestants at
tribute their victory to the fact that
in their case an air-cooled engine
was used instead of water-cooled
motor explaining that this gave
them freedom from troubles for
which numerous penalties were i'm
posed upon Others.
The schedule of penalties was
made severe because of the fact that
the run was short one. 100 miles,
the course being in the form of a
figure eight. The club plans to soon
have a two-day run.

Systematizing of the automobile
industry Is indicated by the policy
adopted for the 1910 season by the
II. II. Franklin Manufacturing Com
pany of Syracuse. This company Is
making and marketing Its cars on
a schedule fixed at the beginning OF
the season.
The arrangement permits the pur-
chaser to contract for delivery
date as well as for a motor car at
the time of his selection of the car
Inspection of the schedule shows him
on what date the car will be turned
out at the factory and shipped to
him. The dealer sells a certain au-
tomobile for delivery at specified
time just as II he had the machine
complete and in his salesroom.
In this way conflict of claims
for delivery as often characterized
the earlier years OF automobile maxi
ing is avoided.

sters."
Immediately after the show, Mr..
Collins expects to tour through Ore
gon and Washington during which
time he will appoint new agents and
representatives He will take one OF
the new models with him on the
trip.
The Carter Car Company expects
to get new quarters on Van Ness
avenue within few weeks, in which
1t will carry complete line of the
machines, including taxicabs and
limOusines.
For the first time in San Fran
cisco Thomas d. Jeffery Company
has one of their Rambler limous-
ines. This car which is the regular
Rambler rating, embodies all. the
points familiar with the latest de-
sign and appointment from the Tho
mas b. Jeffery Company. The car,
besides one of the most powerful
of this class, is also one of the fin
est equipped ever seen in San Fran
cisco. From head lights to signal
buttons the new car represents the
latest in the art of finishing in motor
car appointment.
Besides the limousine, l.. II. Bill,
manager of the local branch for the
Jeffrey Company, will have several
models of these cars in the exhibit
ton at the Emporium. Touring cars,
runabouts. town cars and roadsters
will form the Rambler exhibit.
The early arrival of the 1910 RAM
blers marks q new epoch in the ma
nufacture of motor cars. Being as
is 1t probably the largest factory In
the country, the fact that 1t has
already delivered to the agents
throughout the country samples of
next years models is one Of the most
unusual feats of the present motor
car industry. The present season is
not nearly finished, especially on the
Pacific Coast, and yet the Jeffrey
Company has not only announced
their complete line for next year,
but have actually delivered the first
samples of these machines to the San
Francisco house in the middle of De-,
tober, several months before the mo-
dels of the present season were de-
llvered last year.
Speaking of the early shipment OF
1910 models, l.. II. Bill said:
"Weaare fully prepared to deliver
the cars, even II they are larger and
include several changes from last
season. The reason for this is the
fact that we were sold out of the
