have been invaded by the motor car.
Recently, in = Ford tourabout. Roger
Stearneand two companions drove from
Avalon to the isthmus and TO Emerald
bay and return. Parts of the noun
tain roads were almost impossible and
at times the progress of the little Ford
was blocked by deep washouts in the
road. portions OF which had been aban-
doned by horsemen. For seven miles
after leaving Eagles Nest the motor
lists saw no signs of life but terrified
wild goats and fiocks of wild sheep.
Chicken John Bentley ran from the
machine and hid al it's approach. He
was the first man discovered who had
never before seen an automobile The
second man was c. Z. Wilson, an old
fisherman of the isthmus. Wilson was
building boat in his front yard, when
the Ford shot around curve in the
mountain road. The car was about
half a mile away when it caught Will
sons attention by it's exhaust.
Wilson stared a moment, then
dropped his hammer and fed for his
house. Stearn noticed this retreat and
called TO Wilson. Not getting any re-
sponse TO repeated calls, Stearn
knocked on the door of the cottage
and finally turned the knob, only to
find the door locked. II. NJ, Scott, who
was with Stearn, looked through the
window and spied Wilson in a corner.
After assurance that the machine was
harmless, Wilson was induced to come
out, but no amount of persuasion could
get him to sit in the car or to come
within 10 feet of it.
Stearn was highly pleased with the
way the car negotiated the hard and
tortuous road and delighted with the
service of the Diamond tires, with
which his car was equipped.

overcoats when driven away by the
police, for they dropped them right at
the door, and all they obtained for
their nights work was the contents
of the petty cash and stamp drawer.
