ADMIRAL SAMPSON HERE
On her first trip under the new schedule
the Alaskan Pacific steamer Admiral Samp-
son, Captain Bartlett, arrived today from
Seattle via San Francisco with passengers
and about 400 tons of freight. The steamer
Watson of the same line has sailed from
Seattle on her first trip to this port and
will arrive next Tuesday. Under the new
schedule the Watson and Buckman Will both
run through to this port from Seattle in
stead Of only to San Francisco, making three
steamers on this end of the line instead of
one with sailings every six days. All three
steamers will remain here two nights and
day The Alaska Pacific company now has
an Independent agency in Los Angeles, and
the steamers will discharge cargo on both
sides of the channel In the past the Crescent
Wharf and Warehouse company has handled
the business on the Salt Lake side eX-
clusively.
HEAVY TRAVEL NORTH
The steamer Governor. Captain Jebsen,
called this morning for passengers and
freight and continued on the return voyage
to Seattle via Redondo Beach and San Fran
cisco. She took 300 passengers from Los
Angeles, an unusually large list for this sea-
son of the year. Most of these were tourists
from the northwest, who returning home
after having passed the winter In the south.
Since the Pacific Coast company put on the
big liners President and Governor there has
been a remarkable increase in this class of
passengers by water. Formerly the railroads
got practically all of the tourist business and
little of it has been taken from the smaller
steamers
aERMOsA RETURNS FROM DRY DOCK
The Banning steamer Hermosa returned to-
day from San Francisco under command of
Capt. Victor johnson, one Of the port pilots

and Catalina Island when both the Hermosa
and Cabrillo will be on the run.

most powerful cars on the track, and
destined to get inside the money in
races where entered. Robertson drove
the Simplex fourteen miles in 9:0S 2-5,
which beats the worlds speedway
time of 7:01:94 for the distance, and
but little lower than the ten-mile
record record on the Ormond straight
away with flying start, which is
5:14 2-5. The Simplexs time for two
miles was 1:1S 4-5, against a speed
way record of 1:21 1-2. And 1t is a
moral certainty Mr.. Robertson did not
let his car out to the limit in these
tryouts.
BIG FIAT ARRIVES
What the public will witness today
in the matter of speed of motor cars
will be a revelation to the whole world.
The new Los Angeles track will take
first place in motordom as the best
and safest track in the world
The great 200-horse power Fiat Me-
phistopheles arrived by express Thurs
day and De Palma had the great car
at the track about o'clock. The car
was brought from the city on its own
power, and was given but one mile Of
the Motordrome, without an effort at
the track garage to have every part
inspected.
AS much depends on conformation in
cars for racing purposes as in horses,
and a casual inspection of the two big
cars that will race for the worlds SUI
premacy inclines one to venture the
opinion that the driver who wins will
owe as much to the peculiar fitness of
his car as to any personal merits for
ability to pilot it. The car that can
cut the big circle with the least skid
ding will save enough feet to cross the
tape a winner.

drivers:
GIVE SPECIAL RATES
Every railroad entering Los Angeles
has granted special rates. so there is
a certainty Of many thousands attend
ing from all over Southern California.
The hotels are also filled with guests
who have come from a distance to
attend these big races And many
tourists have been postponing their
return east in order to see what will
be the most wonderful series of motor
car races ever held in this or any
other country.
The track and grounds have been
closed to the public the past two days.
The drivers have put their cars through
some wonderful work, as they have
not been hampered by sightseers who
persist In getting in the way down at
the pits.
While there have been many fast
miles recorded already from day to
day, these tests have seldom been for
more than one or two miles at time.
But on Thursday the big racing cars
were put through many miles at a
time, and some worlds records were
unofficially shattered.

The much talked of motor car races
viii get their baptism at the new Mo-
tordrome racing track today. Every
thing is in readiness and there will not
be a hitch in pulling the classy pro-
gram off according to schedule. The
Los Angeles-Pacific railway will do all
in it's power to carry the great crowds,
and hundreds of extra cars have been
provided They will be run on one
minute schedule from noon to the start
ing of the races at 2:30.
From the great interest that has been
shown in this big undertaking, it is
confidently believed that there will be
a total attendance during the seven
days of the meet of more than 10000
people. Reservations for more than
260O0 seats were reported up to last
night, and special train service will be
run from all towns on the Los Angeles
Pacific railway.

Mr.. Perry did not wish to be considered
as criticising the work of others, nor did
he claim the credit so justly due him for
this marked improvement in a public
thoroughfare. The faults in our methods
of caring for the roads date back to
former generations and we are only just
beginning to remedy them. In the days
when men worked out their taxes the
value of the labor was estimated as low
as rs per cent of hired labor and never
higher than SO per cent. The rudiments
of road building are easily learned. Drain
age is of the first Importance, and in some
cases it might have been necessary to
add that water will not run up hill. Any
practical man is capable of building good
roads-and if politics were eliminated
from the work the cost would be lessen
ed fully one-half. This is The Journals
opinion, not Mr.. Perry's.

STOMACH DEAD
MAN STILL LIVES

People who suffer from sour stomach, fer
mentation of food, distress after eating and
indigestion, and seek relief in large chunks of
artificial digestors, are killing their stomachs
by inaction just as surely as the victim of NOR
every nerve in his body.
What the stomach Of every sufferer from
indigestion needs is good prescription that
will build up his stomach, put strength, energy
and elasticity into it. and make it sturdy enough
to digest hearty meal without artificial aid
The best prescription for Indigestion ever
written is sold by druggists everywhere and
by A. A. Howes & Co., and is rigidly guaran-
teed to build up the stomach and cure indiges-
ton, or money back.
This prescription is named Mi-o-na, and is
sold in small tablet form in large boxes, for
only so cents. Remember the name Mi-on-a
stomach tablets. They never fail.
