L. S. Quinan Takes His Auto
Over IAN Old Discarded
Road in Easy Fashion
BY r. R. L'HoMMEDIEU

Shuhart's ranch, located at the sum-
NIT of the historic old Fort Ross trail,
the highest point of the Coast range in
mobile last Sunday for the first time
in the history of the state, L. S. Quinan
of the Studebaker Brothers company
driving an EMF 80 to the ranch,
which in the early days of Californias s
history was the location of an outpost
from which was watched the move
ments of the hostile Indians.
For miles the road was like no road
at all, and fully score of der were
seen bounding to places of hiding as
the machine progressed
They had to drive the machine over
stretches where the old trail was, COW
cred with fallen branches and leaves
showing no trace of hoof or wheel.
Besides Quinan were C. III. Nelson
Miss Nell Phillips, Miss Anna Lynch
and e. F. Westergreen. The scenery
was magnificent. The road winds
along the sides of the hills until the
crest of the range is finally reached
and at times the views down into the
valley are stupendous, portions of the
road below being visible at intervals
Sharp turns and steep grades are at
times so frequent that when certain
places were reached the motorists en-
countered the smell of the exhaust
from the car which had been shot from
the muller far down below them and
drifted with the breeze up the hill
sides.
Residents in the vicinity of the old
trail are limited to half dozen farm

three times year. which accounts for
the unused condition of the road. Con-
siderable excitement was caused at the
ranch house upon the arrival of the
motorists, and George w. Shuhart
owner of the ranch, signed a statement
to the effect that Quinan's EMF was
the first machine to reach his place.
