NEW BRIDGE FOR
W. TROY ARRIVES
BIG STEEL STRUCTURE BEING
HAULED BY JOE
MELoTTE.

The new steel bridge for the
Grande Ronde river at Troy will soon
be on the ground there and erected.
The bridge was unloaded, beginning
Monday morning, and the contract
for hauling it was awarded Joe Me-
lotte. A force of men and teams was
employed both for the unloading
and the hauling of the structure in
sections to the place of erection.
Completed August I. I
According to the contract the
bridge must be completed over the
river at Troy by August l. In an
interview with Judge J. B. Olmsted
that official stated that there was
no doubt that the work would be
completed within the contract time.
The contract calls for a bridge of
the following dimensions: That 1t
be constructed with one continuous
span of 175 feet with two approaches
one of the latter being 10 and the
other 76 feet. The bridge span of
IT'S feet specifies pin center length"
The bridge will rest upon four cylin-
der piers filled with concrete, and
the whole bridge provides a road
way of 16 feet. Aside from the ap-
proaches the bridge Is of steel
throughout.
The erection of this bridge at
Troy connects Enterprise with a
large stretch of good country, and
aside from the convenience afforded
by 1t will prove of great benefit III
nancially to the county seat by let
ting in the products of the country
beyond Troy.
The total weight of the bridge is
S3 tons. The contract price for haul
dng 1t is $3.50 hundred.

EXCURSION TO
ELG|N SUNDAY.
ENTERPRISE FANS WILL BE
GIVEN CHANCE TO SEE NEXT
BIG GAME.

Next Sunday the local fans will be
given an opportunity to see the next
big league game between Elgin and
Enterprise, excursion rates of one
and a third fare for the round trip
being granted all who CO. The regu-
lar morning train will carry the ex-
cursionists to Elgin. and special
train will return with them in the
evening.
Expect Big Crowd.
A big crowd is expected to take
advantage of the low rate and En-
terprise fans should, as they doubt
less will, attend in body. Elgin
did herself proud i'm the large num-
DER of persons who attended the
game here last Sunday. And al
hough there were over two hundred
Elgin people here, it is not too much
20 expect that a greater number
than that will attend the game at
Elgin, the coming Sunday.
Enterprise, moreover, has high
hopes of taking the game from Elgin
in fact, Enterprise is pretty well
satisfied that her team will do so.
AS some of the fansput it, it's a
cinch that this will he done. Per
daps 300 excursionists from here
will not be too big an estimate of
he attendance there-and the moral
support" of the many fans means
much to any team.

NEW TRANSCONTINENTAL
RECORD IS HIS OBJECT
L. L. Whitman Trying to Reduce
Time Between New York
and San Francisco

L. L Whitman, the well known
transcontinental motorist, has effected
arrangements whereby he hopes to
break his previous record of fifteen
days, two hours and. twelve minutes,
between New York and San Francis
co. He left the New York branch of
r. M. Owen & Co., at 1859 Broadway,
Monday morning, August 8, in a 1911
model stock REQ touring car "4-30. "
e. l. Hammond, who has accompanied
Whitman before, Is to be his right
hand man in this strenuous coast to
coast run.
Whitman made his first cross-con-
tinent trip from San Francisco to New
York in seventy-one days. This was in
1903 in a 5-horse power single cylinder
runabout with lever steering device,
wire spoke wheels and single tube
tires which was built by r. E. Olds,
the designer and builder Of the REQ.
The run proved the sensation In motor
dom at the time and the automobile
trade for q long time felt the health
full stimulus which this strenuous and
successful run brought to what was
then an infant American industry. The
following year Whitman lowered the
transcontinental record In his run from
San Francisco to New York in thirty
two days. This was again lowered to
fifteen days, two hours and twelve
minutes by himself with a six-cylin-
der, $4,000 car in 1906 This was relay
trip, night and day run, with the as
sistance of five men from the factory.
Mr.. Whitman feels confident of low
ering his previous cross-continent
worlds record In view of the Reo's
brilliant record in national reliability
contests and other strenuous runs
since making his debut in 1905.
Among many Of these records is the
worlds record which Percy F. Me-
gargel, now deceased, made in his
double cross-continent run in the fall
and winter of 1866 with the famous
"Reo Mountaineer," absolutely under
its own power. The present record
tryout Is to be a night and day con-
tinuous run, alternated by Whitman
and Hammond at the wheel, the only
stops to be made between New York
and San Francisco to be for taking
on gasoline and oil. AS the four-cyl-
inder 1911 REQ which Whitman has
selected to lower his previous best rec
ord lists at only $3.50, 1t Is but natural
that motorists everywhere are await
ing the outcome Of this great run with
unusual interest.
The REQ car passed through Lara
mie, Wyo., at s a. m. Saturday, eight
hours ahead Of the eleven-day sched-
ule slated for this car and four days
and seme hours ahead of the previous
best time of the Franklin car. With
the same increase, the REQ should ar
rive in Los Angeles a full day ahead
of the schedule and set a mark for
transcontinentaI travel that will not
be duplicated this decade.

RANCHERS DEMAND RAISE
IN AUTO SPEED LIMIT

Owing to the fact that there Is no
uniformity in the speed laws of the
various towns in California, there are
many puzzling features encountered on
a cross-country trip. On a half-mile
stretch between two towns in Southern
California speed limits of ten miles,
twenty miles and fifteen miles are en-
countered. This brings about the pc
culiar result of having to travel ten,
fifteen and twenty miles an hour in a
half-mile stretch. There have been
many protests against the speed limits
of the various small towns through
which the motorist passes, both on the
side of the motorist and the local In
habitant. But now new advocate TOT
uniform speed laws has come before
the public and demanded the raising OF
the speed limit in the town of Ontario
from ten to fifteen miles. This demand
came from the ranchers OF the sur
rounding country They protested thai
they were handicapped In the time 1t
took them to get into town and to
transact their business. This issamus-
ing to motorists who have felt inclined
to believe that ranchers were the most
bitter opponents in an effort to estab-
lish a uniform speed law of fifteen to
twenty miles an hour. The ranchers
living In the outskirts of Ontario are
ell prosperous, and nearly all of them
own automobiles, hence the reason for
the protest.

To START At DAYBREAK
IN VANDERBILT CUP RACE
Restore Contests Old Time Glory
and Romance by Sending
Off Cars at Dawn

Some Of the novelty that surrounded
the running of the Vanderbilt cup race
previous to last year will again flavor
the classic of American motordom
when the race is run over the Long
Island motor parkway and adjacent
country roads on October 1, for, ac-
cording to an announcement by VIII
liam K. Vanderbilt, jr., the donor of
the trophy, this years event will start
at daylight.
The decision of Mr.. Vanderbilt and
his associates has been arrived at
after long consideration and also fol-
lowing frequent and oft-repeated re-
quests from enthusiasts, contestants
and all who have the interests of this
event in mind, it is announced. The
daylight start restores the Vanderbilt
cup race to It's old-time glory, with
the glamor and romance attendant
upon the start of the cars as the day
begins to dawn.
With cars constructed under class
c of the new rules of the American
Automobile association, which limits
only the piston displacement and
places no restriction on equipment,
size or style of tires, valves or cam
adjustment, with the development in
motor car construction and engineer
ing design of motor phenomenally
fast time Is assured. Cars of 1910,
limited to 900 cubic inches, with no
limit on the design or style of valves,
cams, etc, makes possible speeds not
equaled by cars formally constructed
without limitation as to size or weight.
Cars of this class, especially con-
structed for sustained high speed, will
produce race equally thrilling with
any heretofore held for this classic
trophy. With the daylight start, high
speed cars, automatic and electric tim
ing and scoring, with the Warner
speed timing device and bulletin an
nouncements of the time sent by
telautograph instruments from the
timing instruments makes every con-
dition conducive to preliminary sue
cessful race.
For the grand prize race, on October
15, the same system of scoring, timing
and announcing will be used. 1t is In
terestihg to note that at this early date
the reservations for boxes for the two
races is in excess of reservations made
by the first of September for any pre-
vious year. An office for the accom-
mediation of the general public will be
opened in New York at a convenient
location on or before September l.

FERTILE FARMS PLENTIFUL

The rough and wildly picturesque
country which lies to the south and
west of Clermont- Ferraud is called
Puy de Dome. The peculiar cone
shaped mountains are of volcanic ori-
gin; in places the landscape is gaunt
and forbiddlng, but toward the south
east the farms are we'll kept, the wood
ed slopes are fresh and green and the
fields and vineyards fertile. Nowhere
else in the whole of France, except in
the Alpine region, are the hills more
abrupt or the turns more tortuous and
unexpected. Consequently there is no
district in the country that appeals
more to the venturesome motorist than
the provinces of Auvergne and the
Haute Loire. Since leaving Paris we
have seen three other cars OF the same
make as ours, the Studebaker 40"
carrying touring parties to the baths at
AK and Vichy or the resorts along the
Riviera.
At every vantage point on our drive
through the Puy de Dome some new
beauty was unfolded; now "A long
stretch of fields bordered by naming
poppies, with the blue of the mountain
beyond then a quaint little village
perched on a hillside under the shadow
of ruined castle.
We pulled our Studebaker up for
luncheon at an auberge or country inn,
at Issoire, about an hour after our
start from Clermont-Ferraud. In the
great courtyard at the back there were
many ramshackle carts and wagons,
and the remains of an ancient dill
gence, but the stalls In the roomy sta
bles have probably never been filled
since the railway took the place Of the
stage coach.
Late in the afternoon, as we turned
out of a defile in the hills, we saw in
the distance the city of LIE Puy, with
it's towers and buildings touched with
the glow of sunset The town lies In
a vast amphitheater. It Is built partly
in the valley and the rest on a hillside,
with a great statue on the rock above
In the neighborhood are two other
strange looking peaks rising abruptly
out of the plain, one crowned with a
colossal statue of the Virgin, the other
with the ruins of the old chateau of
Polignac.

place in the world" and like most pio-
turesque places, is far more attractive
from the outside than 1t is from with
in, where the buildings for the most
part are uninteresting and the streets
narrow and dirty.
We left the Hotel dis Ambassadors
in the morning and motored up into
the Ardeches mountains under a broil-
ing sun, but the car took all the long
hills on the third speed and clipped
so steadily and with so little effort
that we reached the top Of the pass at

lord of the little Hotel Ruel here can
capture the tourist from both direc~

the hotel at the other. But in this
instance the tourist falls into excellent
hands. He has "laureat' or diploma

being a good "hoteler' and justified
his reputation by serving with lunch

road to Montelimar and then to Or

ancient open air theater where occas-
ional performances are given by the

TO FORM PACIFIC COAST

SEATTLE, Aug. 13.-A call has been

meeting to be held here September 4.
The clubs in California, Oregon,
Washington and British Columbia have
been urged to join the movement.
The promoters of the new associa-
ton believe that western motorists are
not receiving the benefits they should
from the American Automobile asso-
citation and the Automobile Club Of
America, and hope to build up an or
ganization similar to them in the
west.
The date for the meeting has been
set for September 4.

release yesterday afternoon after

field well. while his hitting has not
been as dangerous as expected. Tay-
lor has failed to keep in the proper

Manager Marin, of the Alices. adj
mitted that Umpire Lucas was of
in his decisions. Twice on first
base Marin was pulled of first base
to receive throws, but in each in
stance the Paducah runners were
called out. The PGdueah manage
ment announced that Lucas will
never umpire another game on the
reservation, and President Gosnell
was wired that Paducah would with
draw from the league before Lucas
had another opportunity to rob the
Indians. of a victory. On his first
visit to Paducah players and fans
went to his rescue and got him out
of trouble. President Gosnell dis
charged him, but the Paducah man
agement had him reinstated. He,
showed his appreciation of good
treatment by falling to give Padu-
cab even a fair chance to win.

bench for 80 days in addition to a
fine of $40 hanging over his head.
