PLAN TO RESTORE
OLD WIRE ROAD
Famous Highway Through Ozark
Regions Becomes Subject
of Novel Campaign
SPLENDID SCENIC FEATURES
'Under Three Flags Trip of the
Flanders '20' ArouSes
Much Sentiment
SPLENDID SCENIC FEATURES

Backed in enthusiastic style by the
Springfield (Mo.) Republican in its
home city. and by the st. Louis Star.
j. A. White a prominent motorist and
dealer in Springfield, Mo-, is waging an
unusually interesting good roads cam
paign, looking toward the complete
restoration of the "Old Wire road" over
which, twenty-five years ago, passed
the caravan of settlers wagons, carry
ing the hardy pioneers who formed the
advance guard of civilization in the
great southwest.
In it's day, when the United States
government kept it in condition, the
"Old Wire Road" was one of the most
famous highways in the country. Ira
versing the ridges of the Ozarks, it led
from st. Louis to Springfield and
thence to Fort Smith, Ark, and Dallas,
with the national highway from Pitts
burg. The two formed a famous chain.
All the way through the OZarks the
road was favored with natural gravel
bottom, some Of it constructed at great
expense to prevent Washouts. In many
places the work of government en-
gineers is still in evidence. AS a gen.
eral rule, however, the stalwart row of
poles carrying the successors of orig
inal wires which gave the road its
name, alone remain to point the general
direction. The old road itself has been
allowed to deteriorate to such a stage
that 1t is now unsafe even for wagons.
The bridges were washed away years
ago, and in some places the original
Los Angeles herald., 1910-10-02

have promised assistance. The Spring
field Republican has offered a hand
some trophy for competition in tour,
to be held as soon as the road is placed
in practicable shape.
A unique feature of the situation is
the unsolicited promise of John Hos
mer, a wealthy farmer whose 1000 acres
lie near Marshfield, one of the small
mountain towns along the road, The
"Old Wire Road passes directly
through Mr.. Hosmer's farm. In fact,
1t was in one Of the fords on his prop
erty that the Under Three Flags"
car, after coming all the way from
Quebec without assistance, had to sum-
mon aid for the first and only time.
Mr.. Hosmer promises to boulevard all
the old road within his property and
is using his influence with his neigh
bors TO secure similar cooperation.
Since the Under Three Flags car
passed through he has become a mo-
torist himself and his farm now con-
tains two Flanders "2O" roadsters in
its equipment.
The general stirring up of the in
| terest has resulted already in con-
| siderable improvement on the "Old
| Wire Road" in the populated districts.
| AS soon as the systematic improve
ment is begun, next year, work will be
| pushed, and Mr.. White and his COM
! patroits feel that there is an excel
| lent chance for completion during 1911
| In case this hope is fulfilled, the en-
! terprise will place at the disposal OF
! motorists one of the most beautiful
tours afforded anywhere in the United
States

highway has been fenced in and ap-
propriated by the mountain farmers.
Attention to the present condition of
the road was called by the Under
Three Flags trip of the Flanders
Twenty car during the past summer.
Reproduction of photographs of the
trip and the story told by the crew of
the car stirred the citizens of Spring
field to action. Mr.. White was ap-
pointed the chairman of a committee
to push the work along. A party in
six motor cars was organized to make
the trip to ST. Louis. After tremendous
effort, using the information cleaned
from the crew of the Under Three
Falgs' car, the trip was made over the
240 miles that separated the two cities.
With the information at hand Mr..
White has gone to work in real earnest.
Personal work has been done with the
progressive citizens of Union, Sullivan,
Rolla, Lebanon, Richland and the
smaller towns along the line. An effort
has been inaugurated to secure a wa
gon bridge across the Gasconade at
Arlington where the "Under Three
Flags" car ran over a railroad bridge
between two sections Of a stock train.
The Frisco systematic only railroad
trayersing this portion of Missouri
has promised to transport, free of
charge, road and bridge materials.

NEW YORK'S CHAUFFEUR LAW
ELIMINATES INCOMPETENTS
Qualifications to Run Car Based
on Rigid Examination

The question Of the supply and demand
for automobile chaufteurs was discussed by
w. j. Foster in a lecture given before the
New York school Of automobile engineers.
The lecturer gave some very interesting
views on the subject, saying. in part
"It the question were put to them, there
are many owners and a still greater number
of so-called chauffeurs who would quickly
answer that the supply exceeds the demand
basing their conclusion, for instance, on the
number of chauffeurs answering one news
paper advertisement, or on the difficulty in
the finding of a position, and 1t would
be only natural for the average man to
take these statements conclusive PROOF
of the situation: but this chauffeur ques-
tion' is one of the most delicate and mis-
understood questions of the present day, and
only by studying the exact footing Of the
business, and the surrounding conditions Is
it possible to gain true knowledge of the
subject.
Ever since the beginning OF the auto
mobile business, up to the past month, there
have been absolutely no restrictions as to
the qualifications of a man public
chauffeur and the 81 sent TO Albany as
sured him of mere registration badge
which the misguided public and owner both
recognized as license, but which was
merely a receipt for the money received and
an assurance that his name had been reg
stered on the books at Albany as a chauf-
feur.
This led a large number of men out
of positions, incapable Of holding a posi-
ton, due to their laZiness, neglect or dis
honesty, to try their hand at the chauffeur
business and having learned little about
steering an automobile, they placed them
selves upon the market as competent chauf-
feuTs They heard of the high salaries, easy
life, graft and simplicity of starting out
and all these things led to countless num-
bers entering the business with no more
qualifications to drive automobile than
street car conductor would have to drive
twentieth century limited. The excellent
methods by which the secretary of state
has carried out the new Callan law. anC
the manner in which the examinations, both
written and practical have been conducted
have been a great benefit to many owners
and TO a large number Of Chauffeurs, anc
the chauffeur question is undoubtedly on
footing better than ever before"

NEW GARF0RD CAR TRIES OUT
THE SANTA MONICA COURSE

H. V. Taylor of the Lord Motor Car
company wanted to find out for himself
last week just what the Santa Monica
road race course was like, so with a
clever bunch of performers from the
Los Angeles theater he put a new
model 40-h. p. Studebaker- -Garford over
the course, and between the Palisades
and Soldiers Home hit a pace of
mile a minute, but most of the course
is in poor condition and much road
work is going to be necessary for
record breaking in the big race Thanks
giving day.
The roads leading from the city to
the beach are all in poor condition,
and the Washington and Adams street
routes are closed to travel, but with
the characteristic apathy Of road
supervisors, the public gets no inklins
of it until the barriers are faced after
a drive of miles, and then the only
thing to do is to play around until
you perceive hole you can peek
through, and then '"beat it."
The Garford is a sturdy and fast car
and will come in for it's share of public
patronage this season.

he found were the most horrible that he had
ever met anywhere, and Mr.. Watson has
been driving cars in Southern California for
the last three or four years this must mean a
good deal. He says that at point In the
road where they are putting in road he

INADEQUATE PRECAUTIONS

From q sporting point of view the
race was thrilling. There Is no doubt
it will go down in the annals of au-
tomobiling as the most hotly con-
tested long distance event ever held
over open country roads.
Judged by its cost in killed and
manned, however, the race was re-
voting spectacle and a severe arraign-
ment of the manner in which 1t was
conducted. Almost at once the mad
equacy Of the precautions taken were
tragically made plain.
The horror of the Stone tragedy had
hardly passed when word came that
first the Lancia and then the Mercer
car had left the road and brought up
as scrap iron against telegraph poles,
injuring all four occupants.
AS if this were not enough, Joe Daw-
son, going like a cannot ball in car No.
25, ran full into the crowd that barred
his way at the westbound turn, and
sped on, leaving an apparently lifeless
body stretched across the road. This
man was Henry Haggerdorn, clerk
employed by a local automobile firm.
1t is believed his injuries are fatal.
FoRTY-FIvE MACHINES MINGLE
The strictest secrecy concerning this
sacrifice of human life was maintained
by all the officials during the race, as
was the case last year. Today's race
was run as a triple event, not only the
cars for the Vanderbilt cup competing,
but cars in two other detachments as
we'll. This brought forty-five machines
on the course at once,S Sand contributed
not little to the slaughter.
The first of the two subsidiary events
the Wheatley Hill sWeepstakes-was
won by T. F. Galnaw, driving a Fal.
w. H. Pierce. also driving Fall, fin
ished second.
In the Massapequa trophy race the
victory went to William Endicott, driv-
ing a Cole car. Mortimer Roberts,
driving an Abbott-Detroit,w was second.
OF the thirty-one cars which started
in the Vanderbilt ten were in the race
when the officials declared the contest
over. Those besides the first three were

MitchelTs Simplex, No. II; Harding S
Stoddard- Dayton, No 10, and Dingley's s
Pope Hartford, No. %, running in the
order named.
The accident to Harold Stone, whose
car had not appeared again at the
grand stand after the start, was ex-
planned in whispers by officials about
the Judges stand, but was kept from
those in the grand stand, where Stones s
bride of a few weeks sat anxiously
waiting his passing.

uuent magnetic and tire troubles. The
daring French driver, who earlier in
the race had reeled off round after
round at seventy-three miles an hour,
struck a bad rut while going with full
power and landed on three wheels
only. He then found the car zig-zag-
ging from side to side, unresponsive
to its steering gear.
Amid the shrieks of horror from the
hundreds assembled at the spot the
car plunged into the fence and swept
it away like so much paper, then
ploughed deep into a passenger-laden
touring car. The occupants of the
touring car were tossed high in the
air but all of them escaped death.
Miller was caught in the wreckage
and instantly killed. Chevrolet owes
his life to the staunchness of his steer
ing wheel, upon which he kept firm
hold to the end. He was pulled out of
the debris with nothing more serious
than a broken arm.
The third death of the day did not
occur on the course, but in an acct

THE STATE FAIR.

There are hundreds Of workmen

Far of 1910 is going to eclipse any
hing of the kind ever attempted be,
fore in the State.
More free attractions will be avail
able than ever before; for in addition
to the usual "stunts' on the Midway,
there will be the twice or thrice daily
ascents of the Air Ships, which include

There will be nightly displays OF NOV

all the time and money spent on the
fair if it will only help the people TO
know this dread disease and to fight
it.
Finer agricultural and horticulutral
exhibits, better stock, cattle, SWINE
poultry and every other necessity ant

RELIC OF CoNFEDERACY.
Iron Safe In Which Government Kept
It's Money.

One of the original relics of the Lost
Cause is yet in Talladega, Ala. 1t IS
the original iron safe in which the Con
federate government kept the money
which was used by the Confederate
treasurer when the capitol was in the
city of Montgomery.
1t is a large cumbrous structure fot
blackened iron, with clasp and paddock
fastenings besides an inside lock. 1t
has an interior iron vault with two
compartments, 80 pigeon holes, four
drawers and several book racks.
This was the first safe ever owned
by the State of Alabama, and it was
used by the Confederate treasurer as
long as Montgomery remained the
capital.
When Arthur Bingham of Tallade-
ga, was State treasurer in the 7O's, he
bought q new safe for the State and
sold the old one to Marvin & Co, OF
New York. About six months after
II was sold, Mr.. Bingham bought the
safe back from Marvin & Co.
When the term of office of Treasurer
Bingham expired he shipped the safe tt
Talladega, and at his death it became
the property of the heirs of the Bing
ham estate, and sat for years IN the
front room of the Bingham Eagle

SURVEY DRAINAGE DISTRICT.
Work Commenced At Belzoni By Gov
ernment Engineers.

A party of government engineers,
in charge of Mr.. Fl. A. Kipp, began the
work Monday morning of making pre-
liminarv survey of the Belzoni Drain
age District, from which maps and pro
files will be made, chiefly at govern
mcnt expense, prior to the issuance OF
bonds to do the actual work of ditch
ing.
The work was started along the Y
& NJ. V. railroad near the depot and
will doubtless be completed in a few
weeks.
This is interesting in view Of tho
recent decision of Chancellor Thomas,
who held the drainage act to be uneon-
stitutional, and the consequent specu-
Iation as to what effect this would have
upon the governments action.
In view of the fact that the com
mission is to repay the government
$4,000 of the $4,000 estimated expense,
there was an idea that the engineers
would balk at this point for fear OF a
possible difficulty in getting the $2,oOo
At this stage of the proceeding both
sides of the drainage controversy seem
to be entirely satisfied with the situa'
ton
