AUTO INDUSTRY SOON
TO LEAD ALL OTHERS
INCREASE IN USE OF POWER
VEHICLES ASTONISHING
Dealers Put in Large Stocks of Ma
chimes, but Even These Are
Not Believed Equal to
Demand

The automobile dealers along the row
are wondering whether twelve months
hence they will be surprised as greatly
over the large amount of business
transacted as they are today over the
amount of business enjoyed for the
year 1909, just closed.
Twelve months ago they were as they
are today, bartering for their allot-
ment of cars. 1t is safe to say not even
the most enthusiastic realized before
hand what would be the great amount
of business last year, with the result
that before the selling season had
reached its height it became evident
there was going to be a shortage Of
cars.
This proved true, and today the deal
ers are contracting for a number of
cars which a year ago would have been
considered out of all sensible reason
ing. Even today some conservative
dealers are prophesying some will be
overstocked.
This, however, is not likely to be the
case, inasmuch as the greater number
of people have hoped to own a motor
car Other luxuries and enjoyments are
being curtailed for this one pleasure.
One-fifth of the population of the
United States, divided by four to rep
resent families, gives about 100000
who can afford a motor car There are
100000 automobiles already nianufac-
tured, half of which already have
passed to the junk heap. Thus it can
be seen the 200,0 900 claimed as the prod
uct of 1910 added to the remainder will
only supply IL 81 per cent of the pos
sible buyers.
The automobile is now challenging
the industries of the world for su-
premacy, and it is safe to claim that in
two years, if not year hence, it will
be the greatest industry the world ever
has known. The fear has been eX-
pressed that there will be a reaction.
This is impossible. inasmuch as the
automobile has passed beyond merely
being a pleasure vehicle, and is now
conceded to hold a decided position in
the commercial world. In the older
countries of Europe it's influence COM
mercially may not be as great as in
America. in Africa and the other un-
developed sections of the globe.
This is most forcibly demonstrated
at our own door, for it was but few
years ago that Death valley was a
great unknown, that the narrowing
tales of hardships were always profit
day Death valley has scarcely any more
terrors to the automobilitst than a
trip through the San Joaquin valley.
1t must, therefore, be acknowledged by
the thinking mind that automobiles
will keep on increasing until some other
more improved mode of conveyance
has been evolved,

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 29.-rAutomo-
bile Editor Herald: Immediately after
the last Observation-Disclosures hill climb
a subscription was taken among the
dealers here who were personal friends
of Edgar Apperson for the purpose of
purchasing the best shotgun money

under date of December "a, expressing
his deep gratitude for the honor shown
him, and assuring me he will be here
the first of February to defend the
free-for-all trophy for the Pasadena

0LDFIELD'S FAME WON IN
AMERICAN MADE MACHINE
Noted Chauffeur Gains First Records
in Automobile Built for Him
Exclusively

Motor car racing Is again claiming
Oldheld and his big Benz are the sem
sation of the country. The driver of
fast motor cars came into prominence
at the wheel of a Peerless motor car
He won his fame in an automobile
mace in America. Barney smashed all
world records from one to fifty miles
in the Peerless Green Dragon, built
exclusively for his use by the Peerless
Motor Car company. This peculiar
Cigar-shaped car was fitted to the reg
ular four-cylinder Peerless chassis,
and the combination was the fastest
racing car ever built.
With Charles Burman, now western
representative of the Peerless factory,
Oldfleld began his career of conquest.
In every big city of this country he
met and defeated all the we'll known
motor car racing drivers. 1t is faster
than anything that has ever been built.
Then Oldfield and Burman came to
the coast.
On the Fresno race track Barney
Oldfield smashed all records from one
to fifty miles. Few people know the
part Burman played in this record
breaking stunt. Given the gun, Bar
ney shot away in the long, low car at
terrific speed, and world record fell.
At five miles he was still ahead of the
worlds mark, and Burman got into
action. Around and around the track
went the Peerless man, with a shovel
borrowed from the stables where the
horses were kept. While Barney tore
holes in the track Burman filled them
as quickly as possible, in order that
more worlds records might be kept.
Barney finished the fifty miles with
would never be equaled. 1t was min

ord ever made. 1t took a 120 horse

is a comparatively easy matter for the
driver to keep right behind Mr.. Coy.
ote. But that motor car must be
moving along at lively gait. The
coyote can hump along across the
prairie at about 30 miles an hour, and
he can also do some tall squirting when
necessity demands.
In the days of coyote hunting with
horses and dogs. the wolves were
never driven to their dens. But about
an hours driving with a motor car
gives the coyote about all the running
he cares for. and he makes for his
den. But his rest is not long, because
the hunters pour some gasoline down
the hole. and the fumes soon drive the
coyote out. and the race begins again.
Within the last month not less than
eight coyotes have been run down and
killed by the wheels of the motor cars
or shot by members of the party after
the animals had been driven until they
