STUMPS MOVED VERY CHEAP
CharpIt Method Of Taking Out Tree
Roots on Cleared Land Prov
Ing Successful.

Chehalis, Wash.-Chehalis Ia just
now the center Of an interesting ex-
pertinent in land clearing. Recently
through the Offices of Secretary Mer-
rell. Of the Chehalis Citizens club,
an arrangement made with Harry
Thompson of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, with head
quarters at Seattle. and Prof. H. w.
Sparks, farm demonstration Of the
state college. to conduct some expert
ments with the charpit process Of
burning out stumps on logged-off
lands. The work has just been COM
pleted at the farm Of Henry Duper-
tuis. near Chehalis.
One hundred fir stumps, from two
to four feet in diameter. were kept
burning In this test. an accurate &C
count was kept of labor. Stumps
were completely destroyed. and roots
burned out at an average cost Of 80
cents per stump.
This voluntary work of the Citizens
club OF Chehalis will. 1t is hoped.
prove Of great value to western Wash
ington and Oregon. as 1t establishes
the value of the charpit burning meth
cd Of clearing logged-off lands. The
process works most effectively on clay
soil.
The method has two valuable fea-
lures. First. 1t can be successfully
conducted without the high-priced
skilled labor required for the blasting
powder and donkey engine process.
Boys from fourteen to sixteen years
Of age can do the work thoroughly.

Photographs taken on the farm Of

that wherever O stump was burned
out there was invariably q heavier

OTHER RECORDS
FOR CHALMERS 80

A Chalmers $50" owned by F. G.
Sheriff Edwards of Dougherty County,
Georgia, has just completed an HOO
mile good roads tour around the
State of Georgia, Out of "A cars en-
tered in this tour, Mr.. Edwards Chal-
mers $50" was the only one to go
over the official route on its own
power and finish with a perfect score.
Sheriff Edwards car was driven by
Deputy Sheriff J. P. Stripping of AL
bany, Ga.
During this tour the competing cars
encountered a very severe storm
which necessitated the fording of
swollen streams and which made the
mud hub-deep in places. Many of
the cars were put out of the running
during the storm, but Mr.. Stripping in
his Chalmers stuck to the route and
Cvercame every obstacle. The only
control at which this car was late was
late was Savannah and this lateness
was caused by the delay in ferrying
over the Altamaha River after pulling
another car out of a creek. Some of
the other contestants who finished
made detours to escape the worst
places along the official route but
Driver STRIPPING followed the route
exactly, taking every stage of the
journey.
surprising feature of the run
made by a Chalmers car was the fact
that it did not have single puncture
or any tire trouble whatever during
the tour. Several cars of higher pow
err than the Chalmers finished from
enc to two days late.
The Chalmers $50" scored some
decisive victories in the motor races
at Lexington, Ca, Oct. 81. The ten
mile race was won by a Chalmers
go. The five mile event was also
won b. a Chalmers $50" with another
Chalmers Second. These were the
only two events in which the Detroit
made cars were eligible.

wholly satisfied with his car and the
concern from which he purchased his
car is not in a position to make ad
justments, changes and repairs as
should be made by reputable dealers,
the owner will eventually seek to rid
himself of his car by expressing him
self through the small ads of daily
newspaper, For, given circulation, the
small ad is exceedingly effective and
yet inexpensive.
Recently there appeared in the
Sunday edition of a leading daily
newspaper in Los Angeles 294 small
ads devoted exclusively to the sale or
trade of second, hand automobiles, of
which the owners for various reasons
wished to dispose. A tabulation of
the machines mentioned in these 294
advertisements showed that there
were from one to as high as thirteen
cars of the same makes, all more or
less we'll known machines, but of
which the present owners wished to
get rid.
A most remarkable incident in con-
nection with those 294 advertisement
and one of which the Studebaker and
EMF interests are making much
capital, is the fact that out of the 294
machines there was not one EMF
or Flanders car offered for sale OF
trade. This on top of the fact that
there are more than $500 EMF anc
Flanders owners in Southern Califor-
MIA alone pretty nearly proves alb
solutely that EMF and Flanders
owners are satisfied owners.

PACKARD VISIT
BY BUSINESS MEN

DETROIT, Nov. 5.-The business
men of Detroit were invited to visit
the factory of the Packard Motor Car
Company yesterday and see for them
selves the progress that has been made
there during the past seven years.
over 1900 of the leading business
men of the city attended the recep-
ton. The visitors were brought to
the factory from the nearest street
car lines by a flying squadron of
Packard cars detailed for that pur-
pose. The guests were first taken
completely around outside of the
plant and down Packard street, a
thoroughfare seven-eights of a mile
long, lying entirely within the bounda-
ries Of the Packard plant and between
the towering walls of the factory
buildings. i@%liW
At the entrance of the Administra-
! ton buildings the guests were well

coined by a reception committee and
conducted Immediately to the offices
where President Joy, Cice- President
Waldron and General Manager Ma
cauley met them with a hearty hand
clasp of welcome. Refreshments were
served and the visitors were given an
opportunity to observe the long
sweep of halls, flanked on either side
with glass-walled offices.
The visitors moved away putting
cigar and cigarettes handed out by the
company, and then began the long
Journey along the streets and evenues
end through the aisles and corridors
and noise that pierce the mammoth
plant. The Packard guests say 16

stitution was a credit to Detroit
Then somebody discovered that there
we're 81 other departments that there
was no time to see.
They saw the Model A" Packard
built in Warren, o., in 1899. 1t looks
something like an automobile-affai'

Somebody asked how many acres
There were belonging to the company.

little 2 acres of floor space that made

NOTED ACTOR USES
CHALMERS Thirty

Raymond Duncan, the noted Greek
actor, who is a prime mover in the
Philellenic Propaganda for the Re-
noissance of the Hellenic Art, music
and drama, is attracting wide spread
attention throughout this country,
has, since his arrival in San Francisco
been using a Chalmers $50" car,
furnished him by the Pioneer Auto
mobile Co. Besides using the car in
his company's travels throughout the
city, he also expects to make several
tours in it out into the surrounding
country before leaving this vicinity.
Mr.. Duncan, when seen in the car,
accompanied by his wife and mem
hers of his company, all garbed in
the Old Greek costumes, presents an
unusual picture of the ancient man
with the most modern of conveniences
at his command. And Mr.. Duncan, by
the way, accepts the automobile as
genuine convenience. Speaking of it
about a year ago for New York City
the automobile was just beginning to
be introduced in Greece. It was yet
novelty and had not come at all into
general use. We find it one of the
chief accommodations offered by this
wonderful progressive new world 1t
is undoubtedly away superior to the
railroad trains which have the habit
of rushing one pell nell through the
scenic parts of the country and then
side tracking one for half an hour
stops in disagreeable coal yards.
1--WE have found the Chalmers $50"
a very great convenience during our
stay thus far in San Francisco. It's
riding qualities are extremely smooth
and it seems very simple to operate u

THE WEEK WITH THE
Won HAMM-YOUNG co.

The Won Hamm- Young Company re-
ceived by the Sierra yesterday one of
the much advertised Baby Overlands.
This is the car which has been talk
ed of so much and which is listed at
s775.- factory. 1t is a very handsome
up to date car, and is attracting
great deal of attention and bids fair
to be a wonderful seller in the near
future.
Other cars received by the Won
Hamm- Young Company by the Sier-
IA are the Overland torpedo roadster
and three Bucks. The Overland is
the first torpedo body to be seen in
the Hawaiian Islands and is certainly
marvel of workmanship and design.
The torpedobody is very popular in
the States and almost every automo-
bile manufacturer has built it among
his 1911 models.
One of the great features of the Ov-
erland torpedo is the gear shift and
brake being placed in between the
two seats, thus enabling the driver
to get out of the car on the right
hand side, if he so desires. Almost all
of the other torpedo bodies have an
ornamental door on the right hand
side, which is of no practical value
whatever, and making it necessary for
the driver to get out on the left-hand
side which is sometimes very annoy
ing to the person riding on the other
front seat.
This car is certainly one of the
snappiest roadsters that has ever
come to the Hawaiian Islands.
The Won Hamm- Young Company re-
port the sale OF a Cadillac touring
car to Mr. Kapahu Alakai of Kauai,
who intends to put this car into the
rent service. This is another in

NICKEL FINISH
STYLE FOR CARS

Each manufacturing season in the
motor car world brings out some new
trend on the past of the user and
this is strong enough to guide
the maker who takes pains to keep
i nclose touch with the army of users
aud prepare for it's wants. One of the
strongest developments of the present
season has been in the demand for
bright and black nickel finish for the
exposed metal parts of the car that,
in former years, have either been
given a brass finish or painted. This
demand has been felt particularly by
the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car company
of Buffalo and a goodly percentage of
it's orders for new models have either
the bright or black nickel, known as
gun-metal specified for the radiator
front, lamp, door handles, hub caps,
etc.
1t is not thought that this is in any
sense a fad of the moment since the
demand has been increasing steadily
for several years past, Many chauff
eurs request the nickel when their
employers are ordering new cars as
they hold that this finish is much
easier to keep clean and brighter uan
brass which has a tendency to be-
come furnished when exposed to the
elements. The demand for this de-
parture from the customary is not
confined to any one class of cars but

stance of the great efficiency OF the
Cadillac, which is shown by the fact
that most of the rent drivers on
Kauai are using Cadillac cars and
are still buying them.
Mr.. d. Nakatani has placed his or
der with the Won Hamm- Young Co.
for another 1911 Cadillac touring car
to be fitted with extra seats. Mr..
Nakatani intends to place this car
in the rent service in Honolulu, and
this makes the second of these cars
which he will have in the rent bust
ness, Mr.. Nakatani being impelled
by the wonderful efficiency shown by
his first 1911 Cadillac to purchase this
second car.
Mr.. Arthur Mason, of Mahukona,
Hawaii, has ordered a 1911 Cadillac
touring car from the Won Hamm-
Young Company, to be delivered out
Of the next shipment to arrive, and he
seems to be very enthusiastic about
his purchase.
Mr.. G. G. Won Hamm, of the Won
Hamm- Young Company, returned to
Honolulu yesterday by the Sierra, af-
ter an extended tour of the United
States While away Mr.. Won Hamm
visited all the factories which his
firm represents, also a great many of
the auto accessory concerns.
Mr.. Won Hamm reports business to
be very good and the factories turn
ing out cars by the thousands. He
has brought back with him a great
many new ideas and the very latest
fads of the auto world.
Among other things Mr.. Won Hamm
has taken some new agencies, and
has made several sales in the East
to Honolulu people who are at pre-
sent visiting in the States.

MYSTERY OF THE
CADILLAC SOLVED

From one end of the United States
to the other end, cities, towns and
villages have been enjoying long

not one of those factories preceded
by artlul correspondence or by an
even more artful promoter, but real

fine machinery and with lots of cars
bearing its name actually running on
the road in all parts of the country.
In other words the factory of the Ca
dillac Motor Car Co.. now and since
it's beginning located in the city of
Detroit, Mich, says a recent issue
of Motor World.
The prospect of securing such a
prize has caused the mayors and al

able communities to slick their hair,
pull down their vests and generally
to 'perk up their persons, while we

the great Cadillac Motor Car Co., was

right in Squash Hollow itself. 1t was
not until such items began to
appear in print in all directions that
anyone in the automobile trade even
suspected that the Cadillac company
was dissatisfied with its location in
Detroit. None could guess the reason
and just as the wonderment was
attaining growth, the mystery was
solved. One of the local boards OF

DR.. E, d. Ball of the Agricultural
college at Logan, who has just re-
turned from a trip to st. George, says
that If heavy frost should come at
this time ;he damage to the fruit
throughout the state would be very
heavy. The apricots. peaches. plums
ana other fruits are in the right con-
dition to be ruined by frost. Cher
ries are already damaged, he says,
and in about two weeks apples will
be in such condition as to be easily
injured by frost. In all parts of the
state the critical period has been
reached. The fruit is in full bloom,
and 1t will be susceptible to frost for
about two or three weeks. there
will be comparatively few cherries
this season. The cold weather nipped
the buds long before they were ready
to come out--Salt Lake Herald-Re-

WILL PLANT
VINES HERE

The, spring planting on the Western
slope this year includes not only
trees, but vines, The Grand valley is
planting vines of the Vinifera, the
European type; the rest of the slope
is planting American grapes, which
mature in a shorter season and do
not have to be covered in winter. The
main purpose of both paintings is to
furnish grapes for the table. But
some are planting a vineyard in the
old sense, meaning to harvest the
crop in wine. Werner z. Reed. after
many trials and much tribulation
with the double-locked regulations of
the Fatherland, has secured several
thousand cuttings of vines from the
best vineyards IN western Germany.
These go to the Grand valley. Other
orchard owners as well as Mr.. Reid
are trying to get vines from the IA
nous Asti vineyards of California.
where the Italians have made such a
success.
In word, another great, new pos
sibility of Colorado is now being
earnestly pushed. The state has rails
ed grapes ever since 1t had fixed set
tiers, but only of late has the bust
ness been undertaken with the same
vim and energy that has gone to the
making of orchards.
Yet it is about as certain as any
thing can be that the grape raising
possibilities of this state are as great
as its apple possibilities; and the
market for grapes, like that for ap-
pies. is practically ungluttable. I'm
less the whole country goes dry,
which one can hardly imagine, there
is bound to be an increasing demand
for light wines, like those from the
German vineyards, and from Asti
Hillsides, too stony for orchards, are
reckoned almost ideal for vines.-
