while G.. l.. Smith, who is local agent
for the Merkel, and has charge of the
Merkel racing team, composed OF WHIT
tier. Ward and Mitchell, says he VIII
be disappointed If Mitchell does not de-
feat tile field in the open professional
races.
Most interest is centered on the
match between DeRosier ana whittier,
first on account of DeRosier winning
nearly every race he has started In
Los Angeles since the coliseum was
built, and second because Whittier mas
never met with a decisive defeat since
he started his racing career nearly Two
years ago Therefore, when two sucn
motor kings meet in match race, ana

GOODYEAR TIRES TO
MAKE RECORD MARK
Contracts for Year Indicate Big eusi-
ness in Akron Factory-Must
Run Plant with Three
Shifts

A pile of tires twenty-siX miles high!
Ever hear of such a thing? Try and
conceive of what that means. Twenty
six miles of tires laid one on top OF
the other Yet this is the fact.
Contracts made for the year 1910 call
for 2l6,000 tires to be made by the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber company of
Akron, o., for forty-four of the largest
and leading manufacturers of the au-
tomobile world In the United States.
On top of this the company can make
125. 900 more for their regular trade,
requirements, etc. Take this number
of tires and lay them one on top of the
other and they would make a pile
twenty-six miles high. Or If they
were laid side by side they would
reach more than half way from Los
Angeles to San Francisco, or better
still, if cut across and laid end to
end they would make a rubber tube
from here to the bay city.
This is one of the most remarkable
Endorsements of the goodpess of the
product of the Goodyear factory, when
SO per cent of all the factory equip
ments of automobiles are given to the
Goodyear company, and the remaining
"a per cent is to be divided between
twenty-five other companies in the
country who make automobile tires.
To do this requires the running Of
the Goodyear plant the entire twenty
four hours of the day, with three shifts
of workmen engaged all the days of
the year, and the entire output of this
plant sold before the season has even
been begun.

HOWARD TALKS
OF AUTO RACING
DEALER WILL KEEP FAITH
WITH ASSOCIATION
SPEEDY BUICK CARS REMAIN ON
THE SHELF
Greatest Team in World Will
Not Permit Stock to
Be Idle

When Charles s. Howard, president
Of the Howard Automobile company,
was in this city last week an interview
was solicited from him as to what his
position would be in regard to the rae
ing end Of the automobile business for
the coming season, and especially in
view of the coming opening meet and
succeeding events at the new motor
drome, where it is anticipated that
every worlds record ever made will be
smashed to smithereens.
Mr.. Howard in a perfectly frank
manner said:
while 1 approve of automobile rae
ing for many reasons, among which
principally is the fact that racing
gives to the public a fair test of the
speed, endurance and capacity of a car
and the skill of the driver. and in
which | have never shirked an oppor-
tunity to enter, either here or in San
Francisco, and have had many occa-
sions to feel gratified at the results
made by the Buick machines, never
theess we belong to the Dealers as
sociation and have kept the faith of
our obligations to that organization.
Therefore until such time as such
organization should be disrupted or
dissolved l could not participate in
any events contrary to the rules to
which l have pledged the word of my
company. OF course, I have nothing
to do with the Buick factory or what
they may do at any time, and as a
matter of publicity in the past the
factory has sent us cars of unusual
speed for their horse power capacity
all stock cars, and If they take these
cars away from us to participate in
racing events, that is the business of
the makers, for whom we are simply
selling agents. l do not know that
they will do this, but if they do, that
is their affair, and we cannot control
their actions"
1t is known here that D. D. Buick
has been after the matter of the Chew
rolet and little white Streak" being
laid up on the shelf here for lack of
use, and just what he will do about it
is not decided, but there is reason for
the belief that a man who had the
greatest racing team in the world Is
not likely to permit his cars to lie
idle when there is work for them TO
do. The public at least would like to
see the Bucks in the racing game
again.

Easterner with Wife on Extended Tour
of Pacific Coast Which Will

An interesting visitor to Los Angeles
during the past week was John N.
WHY'S, who, with Mrs WHY'S, is max
ing an extended tour of the Pacific
coast and while here they were the
guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. d. Newerf
at their handsome residence in South
Pasadena.
The friendship existing between Mr..
WHY'S and Mr.. Newerf is of pc
culiarly pleasant character, extending
back to old bicycle racing days, when
both young men we're enthusiasts in
the game and when the roads Of finan-
cial prosperity were not of the as
phalt character of today.
The whirligig Of time separated the
two friends, one remaining in the east,
while Newerf decided to accept the ad-
vice of Greeley and "go west" WHY'S
pursued the coming method of vehicle
propulsion unknown to his western
friend. while the latter foresaw the
possibilities of what the automobile
must have to move. and with the result
that WHY'S designed and built the now
famous Overland machines, while
Newerf was busy building up the Pa
cific coast trade of supplying overland
and all the other makes of cars with
tires.

respective business enterprises and
today WHY'S is a number of times a
millionaire, is president of the Over
land Automobile company with large
factories at indianapolis and Cleve-
land, and now the two business men
look back with pleasure to the days
when as youngsters they scratched
their heads, wondering where they
would get the price for doughnuts and
coffee.
Mr.. WHY'S agency here is the Rem
ton Motor Car company, and while
here himself and wife have made eX-
tended tours throughout the orange
grove and other districts and when
leaving here will stop along the coast
at the various resorts until San Fran
cisco is reached, where the Pacihc
coast agency headquarters are located,
and thence 70 Portland, the Puget
sound districts, returning home via
the northern route
Mr.. WHY'S expressed himself as
more than surprised at the growth OF
Greater Los Angeles and predicts for
this city one of the largest in popula-
ton and commercial enterprises on
the Pacific slope.

LOS ANGELES MAN MEMBER
OF APPERS0N RACING TEAM
Harris M. Hanshue VIII Be Seen IN
Many Contests During
1910 Season

Although strictly stock model Apper-
son cars will be entered in but rev OF
the most important race meets during
the 1910 season, ii is probable that a
team of three cars and drivers Will
compete in each of the events entered
Herbert Lytle of Kokomo and Harris
NJ. Hanshue of Los Angeles will form
the backbone of the regular Apperson
! 1.cing team for this season, Lytle Is
the dean of American race drivers, an
international favorite and driver or
international experience. The past sea-
son for Lytle was unlucky, as, while
preparing for the most important races
of the year, at Paramount Park ana
the Vanderbilt, he met with a serious
accident at Riverhead, Long Island, in
September, which put him out of the
r.nning 7 for 1909 Today Lytle is as
good as ever and he has the confidence
and esteem of the Appersons as well as
of the public, the trade and of other
race drivers.
Hanshue, although originally an
eastern man and n graduate of the
University of Michigan, is product of
the west as regards his experience in
the driving of fast motor cars. In one
season as driver of Leon 7. Shettler's s
Apperson Jack Rabbit, in many west
ern events of Importance, he has risen
to the class of the star automobile race
drivers of America; he has won his
laurels squarely, and lie takes his sue
cess in a most modest manner,
1t is firmly believed that with such
well known and experienced drivers at
the wheel of the Apperson in 1910 the
Jack Rabbit car will make formida-
BILE showing in the events it enters.

Los Angeles into automobile history.
l cannot see what can prevent the
race now, since the Fiat will undoubt-
edly be ready and shipped in time.
Another feature of the motOrdrOme
racing which ought to be of unusual
interest TO Los Angeles is the oppor-
tunity offered for developing amateur
racing. We should be able to develop
crack amateurs of national reputation,
who may uphold the automobile and
social reputation of the city abroad
as well as in this country. There will
be a call for amateurs of high social
standing to go from this country to
represent us on the Brooklands track
Los Angeles is well able to offer such
men. The motordrome events will es-
pecially encourage amateur racing,
which is thoroughly consistent with the
efforts of the A. A A. nationally.
Il look for a decided revival of the
appearance of the amateur under the
encouragement which will be given
him by the 1910 rules These have been
so amended that no one who is ac-
lively engaged in the automobile or
accessory industry is eligible to COM
pete as an amateur. Such men Is w.
X. Vanderbilt, jr.. Foxhall Keene, E R.
Thomas, II. L. Bowden, w. Gould Bro
kaw and the late Frank Croker are
famous in the annals of eastern anna
teur racing, and the Pacific coast
should produce an equivalent list of
names of standing"
The motordrome manager is endea
voring to get Frank Garbutt, Eddie
Maier, Jack Lankershim and several
other automobile enthusiasts, who are
eligible to qualify on the amateur dri-
vers' register to get into the racing
game through the opportunity afford
ed at the pie pan.

MAXWELL FOR SOUTH POLE

Benjamin Briscoe of the Maxwell
Briscoe company. Tarrytown, N Y, is
building a specially constructed car for
Explorer Shackelton to be used in all
of his various expeditions, especially
at the south pole. The car will be
massively built and will contain full
equipment for extensive exploring.
This is probably the first automobile
ever built especially for such a pur-
pose and is considered the greatest en-
durance test to which a car can be
subjected. MIR. Briscoe and many
other prominent automobile manufac-
turers are anxiously awaiting the out
come of the unique experiment.

RECEIVE 1922 TIRES

"Over three-quarters of mile of
tires have been rolling into the head
quarters of the Diamond Rubber COM
pany this week." said Manager F. Q.
Nelson of the Diamond Rubber COM
pany yesterday. I'VE have received
a carload of 1922 tires, averaging three
feet in diameter, which if put together
would reach from about First street
to Ninth street on Broadway. That
is pretty good evidence of the popu-
larity of the Diamond line in this To-
cality, isn't it?"

NIKRENT VISITS TRACK

Nick Nikrent, the racing driver of
the Buick cars in this city, was down
at the Motordrome ON Friday in the
famous racing car which was driven
by the sensational Chevrolet on the
big eastern tracks and in which he tore
down so many worlds records against
cars of twice and four times the horse
mower of the white car that it became
monotonous keeping tally on his win
nings. Nikrent is getting the car
tuned up to Los Angeles air and will
soon have a machine which will keep
all in it's class busy keeping out of
his way,

Wonderful Water Power

Speaking of water power possibilities
of the Northwest Portland writer says:
The average discharge of the Pend
Oreille, at Priest River, Idaho, during
1904 was S,130 second-feet. The aver
age of the Colorado river at Yuma.
Arizona, during the same year was but
1892 second-feet, and in 1902, but
1878 feet. The great magnitude of the
Pend Oreille as power stream is shown
by the following comparison:
By the terms of treaty with Canada
only 10000 cubic feet of water per Sec
ond can be taken for power from the
Niagara on the American side of the
falls. Now, by utilizing Flathead, Pend
Oreille and Priest lakes for storage,
$4,000 cubic feet per second can be main
tanned in the Pend Oreille during the
low water months. The drop or fall in
this stream between Lake Pend Oreille
and the Columbia is 750 feet-mostly in
a comparatively small part of its course.
The drop in the Niagara-the cataract
and the rapids above-is about one-third
as much. So the power ratio of the Pend
Oreille to the American Niagara will be
as three times $4,000 is to 10000. or as
AZ to 20.

and the Fidelity is building half mile
of the road to replace the portion vacated
to them. On the new road the company
is required to construct bridge across a
slough 225 feet long. The new road has
grade twenty feet wide and is being
built to the entire satisfaction Of Com
missioner Finstad, of this district.
A pile driver is now at work extending
the storage boom out into the river,
which will provide considerable addi-
tional storage room. In logging opera
tions the company has camp on West
Branch in the Kaniksu National Forest
and another between Davis and Calispel
lakes. At the latter place the company
is bending every effort to save about
eight million feet of white pine timber
burned over in the big forest fires. It
has established camp OF about go men
at that place. The logs will be hauled
to Calispel lake.

S. J. Appleman, candidate for repre-
sentative from the west side of the
county, is another candidate who is

he stands on the same platform as that
of his colleagues, Senator A. W. Ander-
son and Henry R. Spedden, and with
the united front that this delegation can
put up in the legislature, Stevens county
