OF AUTOMOBILES
W. L. Hughson Tells of Condi=
tons He Found Among East
ern Motor Car Builders
By R. R. L,HoMMEpIEu

w. L. Hughson of the Standard motor
company and general western repre-
sentative of the United manufacturers
has returned home after an extensive
visit in the east, which included a trip
to the Ford and Velie factories Hugh
son is more than enthusiastic over what
he saw and heard while away concern
ing the outlook for trade the coming
season. He said:
''All the factories are practically sold
out for this season, and are now finish
ing up on the last of the material for
the 1910 output. This means that the
dealers throughout the country have
taken earlier delivery of cars than
heretofore To do this they must have
installed d vigorous selling campai gp
TO move the goods so that they could
not meet their obligations with the fac
tories. This is just what 1 found while
east.
1T means that there is going to be a
shortage, as the supply is nowhere near
going to meet the demand. and if buy
ers put off purchasing until the spring
is at hand and touring possible. they
will find that they will not be able TO
obtain cars of standard makes. If 1
was about to purchase a car and know
ing what 1 do from my recent trip. I
would make all possible haste to get a
delivery as soon as l could There I'M
doubtedly will be a premium offered
before the season is over on cars of
such standard makes as the Velie and
Ford"
While away Hughson attended all
the eastern automobile shows and the
one in Los Angeles. A feature of the
southern show, which is also most
unusual feature in all the shows in
which il has been displayed. is
the Jones live map" This device.
which is designed to direct motorists
through the country, caused a sensa-
tion in New York
The manufacturers of the Ford are
just moving into the new factory
which will cover so acres of ground.
This factory will be one of the most
complete in the world. They are now
turning out 10 cars a day and are
handling 900 carloads of raw material
every day.
In order to enlarge the business on
the coast for automobile accessories
.Hughson Will leave within the next
few days for Portland and Seattle. in
which cities he will open branches for
the complete lines of united manufac-
turers.

Scrap of Paper" at Valencia
Theater, March 5

Rehearsals are shaping the forth
coming production of "A Scrap of Pa
per-" which is to be given by the senior
class of the Lick high school, into what
promises to be performance of pro-
fessional effectiveness. AS a farce "A

career, and the students of the high
school are carefully studying the tradi-
tons with which Lester Wallack Rose
coghlan and Rose Eytinge have sur
rounded the play since it was first
given by them and Wallack's other
players in New York 30 years ago.
The place selected for the local pre-
sentation is the Valencia theater. The
time, Saturday afternoon, March 8.
Maurice Stewart is coaching the player
in their roles. He has done similar

BEFORE THE BATTLE.
Some Views of the Wise Ones Befor
the Fight.

the Fight.
Reno, New. July 4.-Here are some of
the expressions of wise ones" made
before the fight last Saturday:
James ]. Corbett-While Jeffries
didn't do as much boxing as 1 wanted
him to do, he is in excellent condition
and will win sure. He is too strong
for Johnson.
Joe Woodman-I look for Jeffries to
win inside of eight rounds If a small
fellow like Langford can make him
dog it, giant like Jeffries will scare
him to death.
Tom Flanagan-I don't think JEFF can
come back, and Johnson should wear
him down inside of eighteen rounds
Tom Jones-I am betting my money
on JEFF. He should win in ten rounds.
Eddie Hanlon-Jeff in fifteen rounds
Abe Attell-Johnson is clever, but
think jeff has his goat
Bat Nelson-Jeffries can't come back
to form and Johnson's speed will be too
much for him.
Sam Langord-Johnson is afraid Of
me and I'm scared to death of Jeffries.
| so the hairy man should win in q
| canter.
| Bob Deady-It looks pretty even to
me. If Jeff has gone back Johnson will
win. 1t will be long, hard fight.
Jack Root fancy JEFF. Although
| his five years absence from the ring
might have hurt him, 1 think he is too
strong for clever fellow like Johnson
| Jim McCallun-Johnson will land on
| Jeff in about the thirteenth round.
| Al Kauffman-I have boxed with
johnson long enough to know that he
| is one of the cleverest big men in the
| business and he should trim JEFF, who,
| I think, has shot his bolt. If Jeff forces
+ the fight Johnson will win quickly.
Referee Eddie Smith-The betting is
| out of line. Jeffries isn't a 10 to 6
favorite. If it is a long battle Johnson
1 will wear Jeff down clinching. Jeff's
only chance lies in making rushing
fight
/ Joe Choynski-Jeff is the toughest
man ever boxed with and can't see
/ how Johnson can stick very long
| Billy Mu1doon-The fight may go the
| limit if johnson plays a waiting game;
| I like Jeffries because he is the huskier.
| John L. Sullvan-Johnson will win.
never knew of any fighter to come
back and win.
1 Jake KiIrain-Jeff is my choice. He
| surprised me with his condition
| Wilson Mizner-Johnson will bring
| home the bacon.
| Stanley Ketchel-Johnson is a sitter
puncher than people think and he'll

Hugh McIntosh-Johnson is fast.
