HEROIC WORK SAVES
APARTMENT HOUSE
FLOYD AND MILO BEKINS PRE-
VENT POSSIBLE PANIC
Stamp Out Flames in Meat Market in
Big Building on West Pico
Street - Fire of Un-
known Origin

The prompt work of Floyd and Milo
Bekins, members of the automobile firm
of the Bekins-Cor Motor Car COM
pany, prevented a panic in the three
story apartment house at 69S West Ptco
street. when fire was discovered on the
first floor, occupied by Harry Houston
as q meat market.
The Bekins brothers were on their
way home when they noticed livid
glare in the meat market, and realiz-
ing that a number of dodgers occupied
the rooms above and were in grave
danger if the fire should spread, gained
an entrance to the market and after a
lively battle suppressed the flames.
An alarm for fire was rung in and the
dodgers in the apartments were prepar-
ing to make a hasty exit with their
possessions when it was announced that
the fire had been put out by the Bekins
brothers without any damage.
The fire was of unknown origin and
was supposed to have originated in a
pile of old papers in the rear of the
mari There was practically no
damage.

WILL RECLAIM
$4,000 ACRES
LAND IN CALIFORNIA AND
NEVADA AFFECTED
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BE
EXPENDED IN PROJECT
Vast Region Will Be Irrigated from
Waters of Watershed Hundred
and Fifty Miles in
Length
Especial to The Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. pa re-
clamation project which will convert
more than 900 acres of arid desert
regions into fertile farm lands has
just been launched. The vast acreage
which will be affected by this tre-
mendous project lies in six counties
in California and Nevada, being al
most equally divided on either side
of the state line. In addition in San
Bernardino county, the counties of
Inyo, Mono, Clark, Nye and Esmer-
aida, are included in the vast region
which is to be irrigated from the
waters of a watershed more than $50
miles In length and in which several
rivers are to be brought into use.
j. p LOTUS is the principal mover
.in the immense scheme and back of
him are Charles Sprague, Judge p.
j. Somers and other men of wealth.
The project is enormous and millions
of dollars must be expended in the
developing and carrying the water
necessary to reclaim the vast area. 1t
is the intention to interest the gov
ernment, and it is stated the state
of Nevada already stands ready to
advance money.
The Amargosa river is to be used in
carrying the waters, which are to be
diverted into canal systems and car
ried over the country which is in
cluded in the scheme. other small
streams are to be used in diverting
the water to be developed.
County Surveyor Cook, who is not
connected with the company. states
that his men have discovered under
ground rivers in the regions where
it is the intention to develop the water,
and this statement is corroborated by
Rasor Brothers, formerly of here, the
men who surveyed the Tonopah e.
Tidewater railroad.
Government reclamation agents have
been on the ground for the past two
months, investigating the scheme and
looking over the country which will
be affected. Several of the men con-
nected directly with the project are
also on the ground at the present time.

MlLE-HIGH CONTEST
FOR THANKSGIVING

The event this week attracting the
next great attention is the mile
high hill climb at Redlands scheduled
for Thanksgiving day and for which
a number of the best cars of this coun-
try are entered, among these the APP
person Jack Rabbit, driven by Harris
Hanshue and the Corbin, driven by
AL. Livingstone.
Manager Atwood Of Redlands, who
has the automobile end of the days
entertainment, has been most active
in the preparations for the event and
has offered the choice of 5000 in cash
to the winner or the cup. at the option
of the driver
The Corbin leaves for Redlands this
morning, as will the Jack Rabbit, and
the old mark is not expected to re-
main on the board this year. so there
may be expected a new record for the
mile high trip. The Corbin is in first
class shape after her grind of Sun
day and will make things move in
cars of her class.

AMERICAN SIMPLEX
IN MILE-HIGH RACE
New Face In Running Events Appears
with Harvey Herrick at Wheel.
viii Contest in Thurs
day Event

Last night there appeared at the Of
flee of The Herald a trim, well bal
anced and tuned car in racing costume,
evidently prepared for an experience
over some course other than touring
trip. A call at the department of au-
tomobiles of The Herald by the occu-
pants of the car proved it to be a new
face in the automobile racing game.
1t was the handsome and favorably
known two-cycle American Simplex,
all rugged out for a run in which she
enters as a novice in this section of
the country seeking fame and glory.
In charge was George Corey, better
known as "Two-Cycle Corey" of the
firm of Bekins-Corey Motor Car COM
pany, and Mr.. Williams, a thorough
automobile expert, with Harvey Her
rick, the popular young driver OF fast
cars, who holds the San Francisco
Los Angeles record, as the pilot of the
machine.
The two-cycle American Simplex was
en- route to Redlands, where she is en-
tered in the mile high hill climb, and
if there is any doubt about Herrick
sending his car up the mile climb they
must be doubling Thomases.
The fact that the American Simplex
enters in the racing game, where en-
durance, capacity and genuine automo-
bile stun is required, SHOWS that the
representatives of the two-cycle car
have the faith of the fathers in their
machine.
Working like charm, the handsome
piece of machinery was heard last
plugging her way up the Hill to the
tunnel in the darkness on her way to
the scene of the contest, which takes
place Thursday, in perfect tune. The
two-cycle car in hill clumb such as
the mile high event will keep the wise
ones in the quandary seat.

"OIL OF QUALITY
MAKES RABBIT" GO
Hanshue, Driver of Apperson, Lubri-
Gates with Monogram Oil and
Brings Car in Without
Trouble

There are few shrewder, wiser, WHY
drivers Of racing automobiles than
Harris Hanshue, who does some re-
markable stunts with the Apperson
Jackrabbit and the big Kisselkar. OF
course, Hanshue does not get away
with all he starts out to win, but the
drivers on the tracks where old Han
appears know they have to "go some
to keep in the running.
One thing Hanshue has in these cars
Is absolute dominion over MS racing
car. The mechanics Of the shop may
doctor and tinker with it till they nave
it to their standard of perfectlon' anu
this in most cases is approved by. the
big fellow, but as the work goes along
the clever manipulation of racing cars
has his own way about 1t all, and the
car is pretty certain to be about right
when she appears in racing costume on
the track for which she is entered.
He also selects his own oils with
which the car is to be fabricated While
making the run, and on the shortesI
notice Of Saturday night last Hanshue
called on the Moore Motor supply
company for his supply of Monogram
Oil for the race of Sunday, in which
Hanshue was entered with the jack
rabbit for the 150-mile event.
e. ]. Thibault, manager of the local
branch, had the Apperson drivers
order promptly filed, and on Sunday
afternoon had the satisfaction of wit
Messing the swift car come in the win
ner of the race, after the sensational
race, with the most perfect fabrication
ever witnessed on a racing track.
There were at the scorers stand a
number of the best automobile experts
in the city, and it was matter OF
comment among these gentlemen that
a more perfect mixture was never seen.
AS the car sped around the circle she
was shooting the most perfect blue
flame imaginable, and ever since Mr..
Thibault has been receiving the con-
gratulations of hundreds of those pres
ent who absolutely knew that the "Oil
of Quality" was doing its work, and
doing it well.
Not trouble of any kind did Han
shue have with his Jackrabbit, so far
as the machinery was concerned, for
he had the acme OF fabrication over
the entire journey.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-23

and when the car is loaded and when
1t comes to a very hard pull no undue
strain is put on any part whatever. 1t
takes its load with ease anywhere at
any time, therefore It must be simple in
construction and built of the best ma
terlal that can be obtained
The fabrication Of these engines is
accomplished in the following manner:
The oil tank is located above the eX-
haust pipe of the motor, and from this
tank five individual tubes lead to the
five main journals of the engine. The
oil is warmed and passes by gravity
through these tubes to the main bear
ing, where 1t communicates with the
holes drilled in the crank shaft, so that
the oil can pass the crank pins. The
oil Is drawn to the pins by centrifugal
force, from there 1t Is thrown off in a
fine spray all over the inside of the
motor; it then drips down to the
ALUMINIUM basin at the bottom Of the
motor, from where 1t is forced back by
q pump to the tank from which 1t
came.
The transmission is of we'll known
progressive type, of extreme sim
p1icity and durability-with three
speeds forward and one reverse, all of
which are operated by one lever. The
case is designed with jackshaft and
transmission combined. Gears are
size, hardened by special process. All
points of friction are carried on roller
bearings.
The cylinders are cast of the very
finest quality gray iron and are reamed
and ground. Before assembling each
cylinder Is tested with very high
pressure, so that the least defect will
show up before building up the motor.
The pistons are made of the same quail
ity of iron as the cylinders, with four
eccentric rings made Of a special COM
position of iron. The crank shaft is
made of special alloy steel Of high ten+
sile strength and subjected to special
treatment to tougher and harden 1t.
Bodies are built of all styles to meet
the Individual requirement. The ma
terial used is of high grade, thoroughly
seasoned.
Five-ton trucks are also built by this
company. These machines are equipped
by 6-cylinder 75-horse power motors.
Great care is taken in the construction
of all cars, so that each individual
users requirements are met. This COM
pany builds 500-pound capacity, 1000
pounds, one-ton, twoton, three-ton,
and Wilson & Burlington are the
agents.
