conclusion of his speech at Emporia.
Kansas, this afternoon. He said he

MOTOR GOSSIP

Two model Fourteen Bucks were en-
tered in the 520-mile San Francisco to
Lake Tahoe endurance run. Both cars
finished with absolutely perfect scores.
This trip included the run over the
summit of the Sierra Nevada noun
tains at the elevation of 1000 feet
through the worst mountain passes in
California. Both cars made the entire
trip without a single adjustment.
This record made by such small, low
priced cars was the sensation of the
run.
Mrs. Rama Halmes and Mrs. Clara
NJ Gilbert, both of this city, purchased
Halliday cars last week.
Doerr- Brown company made the fol-
lowing deliveries of Knox cars last
week: Lester L. Robinson, forty
horse raceabout; William G. Nc
Laughlin, ty-horsepower torpedo;
c. Y. Wreden, horsepower tor
pedo, and A. BroWnstein, forty-horse-
power tonneauette.
S. F. Land who is using a Schacht
general purpose car, on a recent trip
to San Diego, through the southern
counties, covered a distance of Gil
miles at an average cost of 1 cent a
mile for gasoline and oil The run of
1876 miles to San Diego was made in
nine hours, and the return, via the
inside route, 1873 miles, in twelve and
One-half hours. The car has been run
total of 4200 miles for business and
pleasure, and no troubles to report.

OIL TANK CAR DELIVERED
TO PROMINENT OIL COMPANY

Hawley, King & Co, distributors of
Grabowsky trucks, recently delivered
big 1000 gallon tank car to the
Puente Oil company of this city. AS
an excellent example of the diversified
uses to which commercial cars are be-
ing put, this innovation in the retail
oil field must attract notice. The tank
car is built along graceful lines and
is constructed with a self-measuring
gauge so that no unsightly cans are
in evidence, and there is no dripping
along the street, which is so common
with this class of vehicles usually.
The car has a powerful motor, which
will pull 1t loaded up the hardest
grades and fifteen miles an hour is
easy. It is understood that the local
distributors have orders for several
similar cars, to be used in country
trade in supplying garages with Oil
and gasoline where only small guam
titles are purchased. Regular routes
will be established, and it will be pos
sible for autoists to secure gas in any
small town.

OLDFIELD TO RACE
At M0T0ROR0ME
The Speed King Signs Contract
to Drive in Los Angeles
Nov. 26 and 27

The speed king signed contract to
appear on November 26 and 27. Bar
ney and Kercher Will not compete in
Santa Monica road race
Manager Walter Hempel received a
contract from Barney Oldfeld yester-
day. agreeing to race with his 200
horsepower Benz and six-cylinder Knox
at the opening meet November 26 and
q. Ben Kercher and his 100-horse-
power Darracq have also entered.
Both drivers agreed in writing not to
compete in any other event in Cali
fornia, previous to the MotordrOme
races. The attendance of these noted
drivers practically assures the success
of Hempel's meet.
Oldfeld has swept the boards this
season and Barney has regained prac-
tically all his old records and estab-
lished many new marks. He has been
particularly active in and near New
York and through the New England
states and for several weeks during
midsummer, he raced as often as three
days a week.
Manager Hempel promises the en-
tries of many more noted eastern
drivers and added to the local cars
who have promised to compete, Hem
pei expects at least twenty entries.
Entry blanks for the Motordrome races
Will be mailed this week.

1911 MITcHELLs ARRIVE

The Greer-Robbins company has re-
ceived the first carload of 1911 Mitchell
automobiles, and it's store at the cor
ner of Fifteenth and Main has been
exceptionally busy during the past
week. This first shipment consisted
of one six-cylinder 50-sorse power,
model S, seVen-passenger touring. car
with foredoor body; one 30-horse
power, fiVe-p passenger touring car, with
foredoor body; one 30-horse power,
surrey type roadster, seating four, and
one 30-hOrse power rumble seat road
ster, seating three.
The 1911 Mitchells show but few
radical changes, although they abound
in improved and refined details
greatly in improved details in me-
chanical parts. The 3O-horse power
cars, which have four-cylinder motors
1-4x5 inches, have now type exhaust
valve cages; all ignition wires are in
closed in fiber tubes with brass trim
mings the oiling system has been
changed from the mechanical force
feed oiler, as used on previous models,
to a pump circulating system, with an
extra oil reservoir in the crank case.
This is a great advantage as it will
not only prove economical in the say
ing of oil, but eliminates the great
likelihood of the motor smoking when
given an excess of oil.
The radiators on all the 1911 Mitchells
will be black enamel finish instead Of
brass, and a number of other parts
formerly finished in brass are given
the black enamel, which does away
with the trouble of frequent polishing
One of the most noticeable features
of the 1911 Mitchell is that all touring
cars will be fitted with foredoor bodies
and the local agents are very enthu-
siastic over this feature, as they say
the entire demand this year viii be
for this Vestibule type, as it affords
wonderful protection to the driver and
the occupant seated beside him. elimi-
mating the dust and wind, which are
so disagreeable, especially in cold
weather.
A. C. Robbins, who has just returned
from a visit through the automobile
centers of the east says that the six
cylinder Mitchell is in great demand
throughout the entire country; as this
car is the lowest priced six-cylinder
machine on the market, it is naturally
investigated by a great many who IA
VOr the siX-cylinder car, but have pre-
Viously purchased fOur-cylinder ma
chimes on account of the exceedingly
high cost of the former. Mr.. Greer
claims that those who have never had
an opportunity of learning for them
selves the advantage of the six-cylin-
der motor, cannot realize the differ
ence between the four and the six, but
that a demonstration soon shows that
the siX-cylinder motor is a great deal
more than a theory, the steady pulling
power of the siX-cylinder motor is
very gratifying TO the driver, for under
the most strenuous tests to which a
motor can be placed the six-cylinder
motor win absolutely pull its limit at

all times without the least sign of vi
bration. This is especially advanta-
geous in working through crowded
streets on high gear, as much slower
speed can be had with the six than
with the four-cylinder car.
The Greer Robbins company has or
dered $50 1911 Mitchells, and so far
dies not anticipate any difficulty in
disposing of them all, and already has
three additional carloads on the way
from the factory, and it has given
shipping instructions for thirty ma
chimes during the month of October.
The company now has a number of
orders waiting to be filed with the
first arrivals.
