COLISEUM RACES
TO BE STARTLING
MOTORCYCLE EVENTS TO BE
HOTLY CONTESTED
TWO AUTOS WILL CIRCLE sAu-
GER TRACK
Cars Will Establish Worlds Records
for Machines on Courses of This
Kind-Full Program Will
Be Presented

This afternoon at the Coliseum mo-
torcycle track there will be one of the
most startling events-or rather a Sc
ries of events-which has been pulled
off on any track in the world
For motorcycles there has been ar
ranged a series of contests which will
eclipse anything of the kind ever at
tempted. Paul Derkum, the dare
devil rider, will be in the professional
races with the same machine from
which he made the fall which resulted
in his being confined to his home for
weeks. This will be his first appear
ance since that accident, and against
him will be Whittier. There is
large amount of money wagered that
Whittier will trim the fiercest rider
that ever appeared on motorcycle.
In addition to this will be young
Graves and Bake and also young Sey-
mour, who went east last year and
made records which have not been
eoualed. These youngsters will be
mounted on seven-horSe power ma
chimes and the manner in which they
will turn the track will be surprise
TO tne pubic.
There was some commotion caused
yesterday afternoon over the publicity
given to the fact that Al Livingston
would not be on the track because OF a
statement made to the local represen-
tative of the contest board of the three
AS that the nervy driver of the little
Corbin racer would not appear on the
track for fear of being disqualified
As Livingston with his little racer is
simply giving an exhibition of what
the Seeley High Frequency system will
do for an automobile he will take the
Corbin the mile, as has been advertised
by the management Of the motorcycle
track, regardless of rumors TO the
contrary.
The events will take place according
to the original program of Manager
Kraemer who has labored strenuously
for this event so the public will see
the full number of features completed,
and also a worlds record for autos on
a saucer ira k established.
That the public may be fully accom-
modated the street car company has ar
ranged a two-minute schedule going
and returning from the Coliseum.

AUTO BUSINESS IN
NORTHWEST EXCELLENT
Manager for Big Company Returns
from Trip and Reports Difficulty
in Supplying Demand

r. X. Roberts of the Howard Auto
mobile company, Pacific coast distrib-
utors of Bucks. has returned from an
extended trip over the northwest, Wis
iting the agencies of the Howard Au-
tomobile company in the states of
Oregon and Washington. Requested
for a statement anent matters in this
section of general interest to the au-
tomobile fraternity, Roberts said:
I'VE here in sunny California have
been congratulating ourselves on the
unusually large automobile business
that has continued unabated through
out the winter months, but If we look
for a moment at the activity of the
automobile market in those sections
of the northwest that are not so ia
vored with climatic conditions, we may
perhaps lose some of our egotism and
begin to realize that the conditions
which obtain in California, so far as
pertains to the present activity in au-
tomobile sales, is general, and not
peculiar to our climate.
II started north with the firm ex-
pectation of being met on every side
with complaints of stagnation OF
business owing to the incessant rains
or snow, as the case may be, and my
surprise was COllllJlC "llCl LOu44N
that our Buick agencies, even at Spo-
kane and Walla Walla. with a foot of
snow on the ground and temperature
lowering around the zero mark, were
actually delivering all their cars as
fast as they could get them and they
could be unloaded.
"The Automobile Dealers association
of both Portland and Seattle have
taken an important step in effecting
an agreement to discontinue the taxi
ing Of secondhand cars in exchange
on new machines.
"The effect of this move is far
reaching, and while it cannot be de-
MED that it works a hardship on the
automobile owner it is the one solu-
ton to this most perpleXing problem,
and without a doubt it is only a ques-
tion of perhaps a very short time until
the automobile dealers of San Fran
cisco will be forced to take similar
action, nor, in fact, until such prac-
tice becomes universally in vogue"

WAKE UP, YOU
SLEEPY QUAKER
sContinued from Page ous'

with the proper policing of big road
race the element of danger to the spec
tators is reduced to a minimum While
at the same time by giving the drivers
even a fairly good racing surface TO
ride over the element of danger to the
contestants is practically wiped out
entirely.
"Clay or earth horse racing tracks
have been found to be utterly made
uuate for the purpose of conducting
automobile races, so much so indeed
that the American Automobile asSo-
citation has refused to sanction such
events, except in certain places, where
some attempt has been made to alter
the tracks and adapt them to automo-
bile competitions. After giving the
matter considerable thought and sum-
ming up my own experience in motor
racing on improvised tracks in differ
ent parts of the country, and also by
studying the plans of the leading
European motor racing courses, l am
convinced that there are but two forms
of track suitable for conducting high
speed motor racing events. One OF
these is the straightaway track, and
the other a track circular in form, so
that sharp turns, which are the bane
Of the race driver, can be avoided.
Clay, earth or sand are not suitable
for track surfaces, which should be
made of some material selected for the
purpose.
Straiehtaway Tracks
The objections to the straightaway
track are many, the principal one
being that the spectators and the rae
ing officials cannot see both the start
and the finish, and it is therefore i'm
possible for the former to enjoy the
excitement of the full contest, and it
i,,,rnuSi1,1h thp tiT11arq
to get the exact record of the time
made by the contestants. Another
1.-THE objections to the straightaway
track would be the great cost of the
land, as it would require great deal
of land to make even straightaway
course that would be only one mile
long, the shortest distance that would
be contemplated for such an affair.
"The ideal automobile racing track,
to my mind, would be a circular course.
If it were made about 100 feet wide
and scientifically constructed, a track
one mile in circumference could be
made safe for high speed racing. I
would build the track of a concrete
bed surface, with vitrifed brick or
some other good brick material, set on
edge. Wood blocks could be used for
this purpose, but in wet weather l am
afraid that the surface would be too
slippery, and there would be an in
clination for the cars to skid. In con-
structing such a track I would give
the surface an inclination something
on the order of a saucer, with the out
side at about an angle of 40 degrees.
In driving on such a track the racer
would never have to worry about TAX
ing short turns. He would be carry
ing his car along on the one curve all
the time. which would in reality be
almost the same as going on a
straightaway. There being no long,
straight stretches, there would be no
anticipation of taking a sharp curve

Simplicity
VS..
Intricacy

When you stop to consider that a
4-cycle engine has from 100 to 100
more separate and distinct parts
than a 2-cycle, that in buying a
4-cycle you are paying for the tre-
mendous additional amount Of
labor thereby involved, not to men
tion material; that this complicated
maze of valves, cams, lifts, springs,
rollers, etc, obviously increases the
liability of engine trouble, and that
you are obtaining only an inter-
mittent application of power in
stead of the continuous flow given
by the two-cycle type-why should
you buy 4-cycle?
The evidence is clear, the differ
ence is so obvious that no open
minded man can have difficulty in
deciding.

They BUY BUCKS

The Howard Automobile company
has made deliveries through Water
man Brothers company, their agents
at Fresno, of a forty horse power
Buick touring car and a Buick white
Streak" Delivery was also made
through Erb & Drury of Bakersfield to
William Tevis, jr., of a Blu TX 40"
roadster. equipped with almost every
known device calculated to add to the
efficiency. comfort and luxury of an
automobile. Tevis is an automobile

MORE ABOUT PLUGS

The fact that a sparkling plug will
spark outside the cylinder is no guar
antee that it will discharge properly
when under compression in the cylln-
der, as the added resistance OF the air
gap between spark points, caused by
the gas pressure when the engine is
compressing, is often enough to cause
the discharge TO pass by preference
through defects in the insulation, which
are, however, not serious enough to
manifest themselves when the spark
has an easy path between the points.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-01-30

and no lowering of speed to insure
safety. 1t is we'll known that II IS tile
worry of taking the sharp curves ~
safety which tries the nerves of even
the most daring driver, and has caused
MANY a skillful man to abandon the
business as being entirely too risky to
life and limb.
"With this absence Of curves and the
feeling that there was nothing aheau
to worry about, I feel sure that Sixty
miles an hour could easily be man
aged in safety by any expert race
driver with good car"

BARTON SICK PEOPLE BETTER.

The epidemic. malady, ''''strange
fever, I" ETC., that the dailies of New
England have said existed in Barton
and vicinity, is subsiding. Immediate
~ following the visit of DR.. H. B.
Holton of Brattleboro, of the state
board of health, here last week to
ascertain if possible the cause of the
many cases of sickness. The papers
gave us lots of free advertising with
scare heads and exciting talk. We are
informed that DR.. Holton has given
out no decision as yet as to the cause
of the sickness or the name he gave to
the disease. However, nearly all the
cases reported heretofore are now bet
ter and only very few new ones are
found. The end of our troubles appears
to be in sight, although no cause for
the sickness, that is satisfactory to the
people ar whole, has yet Sbeen foun.s
Dr.. Holton's decision is awaited with
interest.

Band Stand Question Finally Settled.

AS the Monitor stated last week,
bandstandS was being erected in the
square. The exact location of the
structure was something Of Chinese
puzzle to the trustees if the desires
of everyone interested were to be
taken into consideration. 1t was
located no less than half dozen
times and then changed, but at last it
would seem that the right solution
had been worked out. The cannon at
the extreme north side of the square
is to be moved and the bandstand set
there and a fountain erected in the
center of the little park. Temporarily,
however until the cannon can be
moved, the stand has been erected in
the center, of the little park ard was
used Saturday evening by the band.
A good fountain, and a new band
stand, both kept in trim would be
great addition to the beauty Of Bar
toms only square, ""park" or 'tcom-
mon. To make the most of it the
iron fence should now be taken down
and good granite curbing put about
the whole and few suitable seats
placed there.

CENTRAL VERMONT STRIKE
Trainmen, and Yardmen
Quit Work but Passenger Service Is
Kept Up.

On Monday evening at 9 80 o'clock
about $500 men employed by the Cen
trail Vermont railroad and other roads
belonging to the Grand Trunk system
went on a strike. Passenger and mail
trains are being kept moving but are
behind their schedule. Freight traffic
on the entire system is at standstill.
What trains are being run are manned
by strike breakers and men taken
from other positions.
The men demanded an increase in
wages to the standard eastern wage
scale received by the employees of
other eastern roads, but the Grand
Trunk officials claim they positively
cannot pay this scale owing to the
heavy expense of operating necessary
on their system compared with other
roads operating through thickly settled
communities and in warmer climates.
The men on the other hand see no rea
son why they should not receive stand
ard wages. They were offered an ad-
vance of from 18 to 20 per cent but re-
fused this.
About $50 of the strikers are Cen
tral Vermont men, but more than this
number of men are affected as the
shops of the road in various places
have been closed by the railroad COM
pany. While the shop men are not in
cluded in the strike the road claims
they will need all of their funds to
carry on the strike and must close
their shops for this reason. About $50
men are out at Island Pond, $50 at ST.
Albans, and smaller numbers at Bur-
lington, White River Junction and
other places.
Some reports state that the strike
will be a long one as both sides have
been expecting it and are prepared.
The trainmen are said to be backed
with $1,000, 900 fund.
Some 5000 miles Of road is affected
and scarcely car of freight is being
moved. Milk trains are also not run
ming at present and Montreal is said to
be staring a milk famine in the face.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION

The Vermont democrats in their
state convention at st. Albans Thurs
day nominated Charles D. Watson OF
st. Albans for governor; Rev. John
B. Reardon, a Universalist minister,
of Springfield for lieutenant-governor /;
C. L. Mcmahon of Stowe for secretary
of state John w. Thurston of Island
Pond for state treasurer; F. S. Platt
of Brattleboro for state auditor; H.
G.. Shurtleff of Montpelier for attorney
general. H. B. Howe of st. Johns
bury was talked of for lieutenant-gov-
ernor but he put quietus on the talk
himself.
The platform, adopted today con-
demns the Payne-Aldrich tariff; COM
mends the insurgent republicans ;
condemns Cannon and Cannonism; fa-
vors income tax amendment; demands
election of United States senators by
direct vote of the people, would re-
the present caucus law and the sub
stitution of a direct primary law !;
wants publication of campaign eXpens-
es; favors employers liability law /;
wants the yearly expenditure of "rea-
sonable sums for good roads, not for
few, but for all, and opposes bond
Further, the platform commends the
local option principle in the liquor
question, but condemns the appoint
ment of commissioners by assistant
judges; it wants enactment of laws
regulating insurance companies and
demands valued insurance it favors
conservation of natural resources and
such legislation as will carry out dem
ocratic ideas concerning the same.
The platform declares that. state ex-
penses are too large and it demands
the abolishing of some of the commits
sions.
1t condemns the Legislature Of 1908
for inefficiency, profigacy and salary
graft and finally it approves the pro-
posed constitutional amendments.
The member of the state committee
! from Orleans county is 0. G. Miller,
of Newport.
Alexander Cochran of Groton was
nominated by the second congressional
district democratic convention held in
| st. Albans on the same day. O. G.
| Miller of Newport was also a candidate
and received strong support. Il. w.
Barnard of Newport was made mem
Der of the district committee from Or.
leans county. The first district con
vention nominated Patrick M. Mendor
of Rutland for congress on the demo
cratic ticket.

Lowell Asbestos Drawn by Traction
Engine

The traction engine and two cars to
be used in carrying asbestos from the
mines at Lowell to the railroad at
Morrisville was started from Morris
vile this week.
Two cars, capable of carrying ten
tons each, are attached to the engine.
The roads are somewhat soft, but
when they are hardened navigation
will be more regular. Crude oil is
used for fuel and steam is easily kept
up thereby. When in running order
it is expected that round trip can be
made in ten hours.
The cost of drawing asbestos from
the mines by team is about three
dollars ton. By this new method it
is expected that 60 cents a ton will do
the work. A large storage tank capa-
BILE Of holding 10000 gallons of oil
has been built in the engine house at
the railroad and the oil is pumped
into that from the cars by electricity.
The asbestos is to be taken to Morris
vile for shipment and Mr.. Gallagher,
the superintendent, expects soon to
ship large quantities of the stuff.
