shade of gray and upholstered in a
mottled brown Spanish leather. The
top is brown of the same shade as
the upholstering and made of heavy
imported silk mohair. The car comes
regularly equipped with Firestone de-

fitted to the spare rim, all blown up,
ready for use. Electric lights operated
by the eighty -amDhere hour storage

Side lamps also equipped with reserve
kerosene burners. There are no brass
trimmings on the car, with the ex-

MAKING 4OOO-MILE TOUR
WITHOUT EQUIPMENT
Franklin Car Travels Over Road
less Country and Makes
Good Time

A 4000-nile automobile tour. without
extra equipment. is being undertaken
by a party Of four which started from
Winnipeg Man. The party consists OF
H. E. Corey M. Mackenzie, r. Newton
and w. Dunlap. and they are making
the trip in a 1909 Franklin car.
The first few days of their tour car
ried them 1850 miles into Syracuse, N.
Y, where they stopped to visit the auto
mobile factory of the II. II. Franklin
Manufacturing company
Their car presents an aspect unlike
that of any car on previous long trips,
for, except a steamer rug, 1t carries
no equipment whatever, even tire cas-
ings. on the run from Winnipeg to
Grand Forks, n. D., the road lay
through thick gumbo mud, which fire.
quently came half way up to the hubs
of the wheels and proved slippery and
treacherous going for the car. The
best roads found through the early
part of the trip were those which car
ried the party across the high tall
grass of the prairie trails. where the
only difficulty lay in buffalo tracks.
Going through Grand Forks and
Fargo. S. D., the party crossed over to
MINNEAPOLIS and st. Paul and then
went to Chicago, where they were de-
layed two days by severe storm
From Chicago they followed the road
from Kalamazoo to Jackson and thence
on to Detroit, Mich. They made the
$50 miles between Detroit and Buffalo
between breakfast and dinner on one
day. experiencing no difficulties what
ever.
Maps of many of the roads over
which Mr.. Corey's party travelled are
unknown. Diagrams were furnished
by friends as guides to the proper
direction. These consist chiefly of
ruled lines, set at right angles to each
other, with the number of telegraph
poles which must be passed before
some cross road is made indicated
along the line. and with short descrip-
tions of houses or landmarks where
turns are TO be made. From Syracuse
the route laid out is to Albany, New
York and Washington, thence to Pitts
burg and Cleveland and back into
Canada. Mr.. Corey in speaking of his
trip said:
"People thought l was crazy when 1
started without any extra tires and no
extra equipment of any kind, but l
haven't had any necessity for the use
of anything but gasoline and oil so far
on my trip"
Speaking of the difficulties ex-
perienced in getting licenses to drive
in the various states through which he
passed he said:
"The only place where ! ran into any
trouble was In getting a permit in adj
vance to pass through New Jersey, and
that was overcome by sending 81 ahead
and receiving an eight-day license in
return"
The four members of Mr.. Corey's
party are attempting no cross country
record; they are simply on a. pleasure
trip to see the country.

terstate management by trip through
Pasadena and all the surrounding
country, and the way the pretty tor

FERRY AUTOS ACROSS
CARQUINEz STRAITS

Many motorists do not know that au-
tomobiles are taken across the Car
ouinez straits on the Southern Pacific
ferry boat Solano, but such is the case,
the fare being a small item in COM
parison to the pleasure derived from
touring I'D state via that route" says
Fred B. Taylor, prominent druggist
of Oakland and an enthusiast on mo-
toring. 1T is by far the easiest way
in which to reach Napa, Solano and
the northern California counties and
should lure many pleasure touring mo-
torists.
Selecting Big Meadows, Plumas
county, as the objective point via the
route indicated and accompanied by j.
A. Cussen of Oakland and Joseph Con-
nor of san Francisco, I made this trip
recently in my EMF touring car"
continued Taylor land it proved to be
one. of the most delightful trips we had
ever made with my car.
Leaving Benecia, the opposite shore
of the straits, our first days run took
us to Honcut sixteen miles beyond
Marysville, our speedometer reading 1872
miles, which we made on ten gallons
of gasoline. The next day we made
Martins Camp, via Paradise, the lava
rock road between Oroyillc and Para
disc being easily negotiated Our third
day out brought us to Big Meadows
via the Summit and Humbug valley.
The distance between the latter two
points is seven miles, all of which is
down grade and through one of the
most beautiful spots in the state. APP
preaching Prattvilla we encountered
numerous steep grades and small water
dams which necessitated much slow
driving.
Big Meadows is populated by very
hospitable people, ali of whom set most
appetizing tables. Gamey fish running
from under the limit TO several pounds
are plentiful. Nature runs riot there,
the very atmosphere making it a spot
one leaves with considerable reluc-
tance AS a motorists retreat it is
ideal"

CHANGE OF ENDING OF FISCAL
YEAR RESPONSIBLE.
.HEARING HANDAMUs CASE
Startling Revelation is Made in Com
dltlon of clty's Finances BY
Mayors Investigation.

That no tax levy was ever made for
the running expenses of the city of
Vinita or for the requirements Of the
sinking fund for the various
bond issues during the period
from February l, 1908 to July
l, of the same year, is the
startling fact that has just come to
light, through the investigation of the
city's financial condition, brought
about by the mandamus proceedings
instituted by G. P. Fogle for the col
lection of judgment against the city.
The discovery of this oversight by
the former administration was found
by Mayor Rider. in preparing the de-
Tense in the mandamus proceedings.
An ordinance was passed by the form
er city council on August z, 1908, levy
ing a tax for the expenses of the city
for the fiscal year ending July 1, 1909
bnt no mention is made of the period
from February i, to July 1, 1908.
The reason for this failure to make
levy is thought to have been
failure of the former council to note
the change in the ending of the fiscal
year in the cities of the old Indian
Territory. Under the old Arkansas
statutes the fiscal year ended on Feb
ruary /, but when Oklahoma became
a state, the Oklahoma statutes were
extended over this part of the state
and changed the end of the fiscal year
from February to July ]. The coun-
ell In making the annual levy con-
sidered the fiscal year of 1908 as end
ing July 1, 1909. and the levy made
was not sufficient to cover the extra
five months so it is thought no levy
was made for that time.
The Fogle mandamus proceeding
is being heard in the county court
this afternoon. Mayor Rider and
City Attorney Hobby appeared on be-
half Of the mayor and council. The
defense filed demurrer to the is
suance OF Sthe writ OF mandamus, bas-
ed upon the contention that the city
has no fund from which 1t can pay the
Judgment at this time. 1t is the opin-
ion of Mayor Rider that the council
cannot authorize the payment until
after the next tax levy is made. when
a special levy will have to be made
to pay the judgment. This will mean
that the judgment cannot be paid
until after the collection of taxes for
next year (

BUILDING TO BE ORNAMENT TO
WILSON STREET.
WILL COST ABOUT $4,000
Work to Begin at Once on construc-
tion of Big Hardware Building
in vlnita.

Contractor Bovee has received the
plans for the new Harry Mead building
on South Wilson street, and is pre-
pairing to begin work in the imme-
diate future. The brick for this build
ing are now being unloaded and the
work of excavation will begin Mon
day.
The plans are for two story brick
the entire length of the lot, with a
frontage of fifty feet The interior
of the building will be arranged es-
pecially for the hardware and imple-
ment business. The ground floor will
be one large room with a row Of
columns down the center as supports
for the second floor. A deck to be
used as an Office for the manager and
cashier will be constructed on the
north side of the room on the lower
floor An elevator will be installed at
the rear of the building to lift the
heavy machinery to the second floor.
The second floor will be one large
room for the storage of implements,
buggies, wagons, etc.
The front of this building will be
one of the handsomest of the city. 1t
is to be of dark colored paving brick
with panels Of lighter colored brick
and with the upper portion trimmed
in Carthage stone. The front of the
lower floor will be Trent plate glass.
The doors will be set well in so as to
give ample room for show windows
on either side. These windows will
be the largest of the kind in the city,
and are patterned after the most mod
ern metropolitan show window. The
cost of this building according to the
contractor will be about $4,000,
which considering the fact there are
no partitions in the building indicate
that the building will be one of which
Vinita will be proud.
