REPORTS VERY BAD ROADS

Elmer McConaha OF this city is a
passenger in Premier touring car No.
2, entered in the Ghdden tour endur-
ance contest from Detroit to Denver
and back to Kansas City. In writing
to friends in this city from Denver,
Mr.. McConaha stated that the car was
one OF the few entering Denver with a
perfect score and that he and others
in the party, making the journey in
this car, including Harry Hammond Of
indianapolis and H. o. Smith, presi-
dent of the automobile works, were
hopeful of continuing the journey from
Denver to Kansas City without mis-
hap.
Scoring 10 Close.
Owing to the mud holes and sand
roads, the run this year probably is
the severest test ever made on the
automobiles entering this contest. A
trip of 100 miles on loads such as the
party has just passed over, according
to Mr.. McConaha, rs equal to $50
mile trip in this state. During the
run. the machine has been dependent
on its own power and that 1t has made
such an excellent showing on such
bad roads is regarded as good show
ing for it's stability. The scoring il
very close and a fraction of one per
cent Is taken Off the score even II a
bolt is frightened during the trip. In
fact about the only repairs permissi.
Bile. without detracting from the total
score, Is the mending of the tires.
Mr.. McConaha started on the jour.
ney in the press car, position In
which he obtained through the influ'
ence of an Indianapolis newspaper
man. Afterwards, however, he was
invited by Mr.. Hammond who is a
close friend and also Mr.. Smith to
complete the trip in the Premier car.
