who wishes to visit Rowardennan to
go to Santa Cruz, and from there up to
the camp. There Is a shorter road via
the Bolder Creek country, but there Is
a very stiff grade and with high CEN
ters.
The roads via the coast route are in
fairly good shape as far south as Los
Olivos. From there to Santa Barbara,
either by the Gaviota pass or San Mar
Gus, the drive is very tiresome. From
Santa Barbara to Los Angeles it is best
to go by way of the Simi valley, Santa
Susana and ChatsWorth grade, striking
the San Fernando road at San Fer
nando. The reason for this is that
Newhall is badly cut up, owing to the
work being done on the new grade and
the aqueduct work. The road from
here to Calabasas is badly cut up on
the regular road to Santa Barbara.
For the benefit of tourists, | would
like to state that one of the prettiest
drives along the route is what Is known
as the Triangle drive, which runs from
Ventura to Santa Paula and across the
mountains into the Ojai valley at Nord-
hoff, and from there back to Ventura
again. This is about flfty-one miles,
and is one of the prettiest scenic drives
in the south. The hotel at Los Olivos
the Alamo Pintado-is now open.
From Arroyo Grande 1t is advisable
to take the short road via Edna to San
Luis Obispo instead of going around by
way Of Pizmo. You will save about six
miles and the road is fully as good If
not better than the one staked out by
the club signs. particularly for high
powered cars, as there is little sand,
but nothing that should bother any car.
While at San Luis Obispo there is a
beutiful twenty-mile drive to Cayocas
landing and back. About half of this
is along the edge of the ocean, and the
scenery is magnificent. The best stretch
of road that we found was between
Gilroy and san jose Here are about
thirty miles of perfect road, and can be
driven as fast as ony one cares to ride.

BEVERLY HILLS IMPROVEMENTS

One of the most beautiful subdivls-
ions that has ever been laid out around
Los Angeles is Beverly Hills. There
never has, been a time since the prop
erty was laid out when improvements
have not been going on. Eight thou
sand trees and shrubs have been
planted in the parks, 5000 trees on the
oil-tamped winding avenues; 100000
trees on the hills, borders and water
courses. The company has its own
nursery and is now growing $1,000 trees
for further nlanting.

ELMORE co. TO HANDLE
THE OHIO ELECTRIC
Agent Enthusiastic Over the Per-
formanCe of New Car

The Elmore Motor Car company an
nounces that it has secured the agency
for the Ohio Electric. The demonstra-
tor arrived last week and Messrs Smith
and Rose are enthusiastic over the
beauty and performance of the new car.
Whereas electric vehicles are com
monty regarded as town cars" pure
and simple construction of the Ohio
Electric Is in the same strength and
style as that embodied in we'll tried
gasoline cars, with the expectation that
it will be used to certain extent on
country roads, where the strain Is
much greater than in we'll paved city
thoroughfares
The wheel base of the Ohio Electric
is eighty inches; the front axle is of
the I-beam type of great strength. with
heavy ball-bearing steering knuckles.
The wheels are more substantial than
those of the average electric automo-
bile.
The upholstering and painting are of
the best, and the equipment includes
lamps, odometer speedometer, volt and
ammeter.
Particular attention has been paid to
the transmission, which more than any
thing else contributes to the great mile
age claimed for the Ohio Electric over
other machines. There is no possible
movement or adjustment between the
rear axle and the high speed armature
shaft, so far as alignment is concerned.
No matter what obstruction the
wheels may strike, or how rapidly the
car may run, the same true alignment
adjusted up to a thousandth part of an
inch, is maintained and cannot be dis
turbed.
It is claimed for the Ohio Electric
that 1t Is the first successful shaft
driven car. 1t carries four passengers
comfortably. While the normal speed
is from twelve to fifteen miles an hour,
1t can be increased to twenty-five miles.

CHAMPION FIGHTERS FAVOR
DIAMOND TIRES FOR AUTOS

The Diamond tires have now entered
the pugilistic world and have, as usual,
come off with a championship. Jack
Johnson has long used Diamonds on
his cars, his big racer now being
equipped with them, and now to clinch
the heavyweight title Jeffries has had
his new Studebaker EMF fitted all
around with Diamonds. Stanley
Ketchel, the middleweight champion,
also has his car equipped with Dia-

CLIMBS SUMMIT
Of COAST RANCE
Machine Mounts an Almost Lost
Trail on Road to Old
Fort Ross
GREAT VIEW AT MOUNTAIN TOP
Country Through Which Car Is
Driven Is Almost Un-
inhabited
GREAT VIEW AT MOUNTAIN TOP

Shuhart's ranch, located at the sum-
NIT of the historic old Fort Ross trail,
the highest point on the coast range
in Sonoma county, was reached by au-
tomobile last Sunday for the first time,
L. S. Quinan of the Studebaker COM
pany driving an EMF "30' to the
ranch, which in the early days of Call
fornias history was the location of our
outpost from which was watched the
movements of the hostile Indians.
1t was like driving into virgin terri
tory, say the motorists. For miles the
road was like no road at all and fully
a score of deer were seen bounding to
places of hiding among the redwoods
as the machine progressed up the
grade and showed it's nose around the
points of hundreds of sharp turns
along the road.
That the road was almost obsolete
was indicated by the fact that in
places the motorists were practically
guided by instinct and drove the ma
chine over stretches where the old
trail was covered with fallen branches
and leaves from the redwoods, show
ing no traces of hoof or wheel. The
altitude of the coast range in this par
ticular portion Oh the state is so high
that the redWoods were not over four
or five inches in diameter, and while
the carburetor of the car was not ad
justed for the climb the rareness of
the air was easily discernible by the
motorists.
Besides Quinan those who made the
initial run to the ranch house were c.
H. Nelson, Miss Nell Phillips, Miss
Anna Lynch and E. e. Westergreen.
The scenery through this practically
unknown territory is said by the mem
bers of the party to be magnificent.
The road winds along the side 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 being visible at
intervals far down into the wales.
Sharp turns and steep grades are at
times so frequent that when certain
places were reached the motorists en-
countered the exhaust smoke from the
car which had been shot from the
muffler far down below them and
drifted with the breeze up the hill
sides.
Residents in the vicinity of the old
trail are limited to n half dozen farm
ers who come to the cities two or
three times in year, which accounts
for the unused condition of the road
and that it is almost obliterated in
places. Considerable excitement was
caused at the ranch house upon the
arrival of the motorists, and George
w. Shuhart, owner of the ranch, glad
ly signed a statement to the effect that
Quinan's EMF was the first machine
to ever reach the formers place.

meetings scheduled for Brooklyn and Nor
folk, after which we will go into the
Union Grand lodge session, over which
DR.. j. E. Mills will preside"
This appears on pages and 4 of the
peace conference minutes, and further on
on page it says. "By motion DR.. Mills
was designated the grand exalted ruler
of our Union Grand lodge meeting"
1t will be seen here that meeting and
session were written and spoken of In the
singular and therefore referred only to
the union meeting that was to dlsplace
the two grand lodge meetings scheduled
for Brooklyn and Norfolk.
That this was clearly the understand
ing by not only the members of the peace
conference at Wilmington, but also by DR..
Mills himself at Washington, was shown
by the ultimatum referred to in recent
issue Of the Detroit Informer to the effect
that unless Dr.. Mills was permitted to
retain the position Of grand exalted ruler
Of this Union order there would be no
union. This statement was made direct
ly to one Of the authors Of this article by
DR.. James E. Mills in person at Washing
ton.
As a matter of fact, 1t is plain that be-
cause DR.. Mills could not have been elect
ed grand exalted ruler Of the United Or
der Of Elks from the floor Of the grand
lodge this is his sole and only reason
for his present attempt to again disrupt
the order.
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1910-09-10

The second reason given by Mr.. Mills,
that of the incurring of 5000 debt for
the legal defense of the Elks of New
York. is without point
AS third reason of DR.. Mills, that of
expending $4,000 for an Elks' home for
sick or INDECENT brothers to be erected on
land donated by prominent people Of
Richmond, Va. all we have to say is that
no tax has been levied for the erection of
this home. but that 1t is purely volun-
tary affair for the members to contribute
or not, as they see fit.
The fourth objection is fully answered
by the above except the charge of Mr..

FALL CAMPAIGN BEGINS.
United Colored Democracy Indorses
SuIzer For Governor,

At recent meeting Of the United
Colored Democracy of Kings county,
n. Y, the following set of resolutions
was adopted:
To the New York Democratic Committee.
Hon. John A. Dix, Chairman:
Observation-Disclosures, The colored voters
of New York have learned with much sat
isfaction that Hon. William Sulzer is per-
mitting the use OF his name by his friends
and supporters, who are strongly urging
him as the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor; and,
Whereas, AS you have no doubt noticed.
there Is general dissatisfaction among
thousands of colored Republicans with
the Republican party, caused in most part
by the discharge Of the colored soldiers
by President Roosevelt and the subse-
quent hostility of President Taft to the
colored mans rights as citizens; and,
Whereas, The name Of Congressman
Sulzer Is now a household word among
the Afro-American people of the state
because of his vigorous support OF the
bill which had as its object the giving Of
an opportunity of all innocent soldiers to
re-enlist in the army, many of whom had
served upward of from fifteen to twenty
years; and,
Whereas, The colored voters of the
state now number at least GO,0CO, and, be-
lieving that Congressman Sulzer is capa-
BILE of attracting more OF these votes than
any Democrat Of whom we have knowl-
edge; and,
Whereas, New York state is often car
ried by a much smaller majority than
$1,000 which represents our strength, 1t
would appear, therefore, that your honor
able committee could with propriety and
wisdom consider this element Of the citi-
zenship when you are discussing candi-
dates; therefore be 1t
Resolved by the United Colored Democ-
racy that we beg your consideration Of
the thoughts suggested in the above with
hope that your good offices and influ-
ence will be used to bring about the nom
ination of William Suzer of New York
county as the Democratic nominee for
governor of our great state.
Resolved further That we pledge our
most loyal support to his candidacy.
Very truly yours.

Former Grand Exalted Rulers
Charges Fully Answered.
HIS LEADERSHIP REpUD|ATED

pissruntIed Because He Was Not
Elected Grand Exalted Ruler Of the
Grand Lodge of Reunited Order of
Elks, Dr.. James E. Mills Attempts to
Ssesde.
Messrs. Francis Fl. Warren of De-
troit, Mich, and James H. Anderson
Of New York, who attended every ses-
sion Of the union grand lodge of Elks
recently held in Washington, say they
feel competent and justified in pub
fishing the following statement in re-
gard to certain proclamation issued
by DR.. James E. Mills of Norfolk, Va,
purporting to give actions of said
grand lodge of Elks as reasons for his
attempt to have what is known as the
former parent body lodges" again
withdraw from the new great union
order.
To the seven reasons given by DR..
Mills for withdrawing from the order
Messrs. Warren and Anderson reply
as follows:
First, the statement of Mr. Mills that
there was an agreement that he should be
the grand exalted ruler of the future
Union Grand lodge is not true,
1t appears nowhere in the minutes that
James E. Mills was to be perpetuated in
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1910-09-10

Mills that the Atkins
following were per-
mitted to overthrow
the actions Of the
peace conference and
take into their own
hands the control OF
the organization.
His fifth objection
also treats of the al
legged unfairness of
the Atkins following,
so called, and their
"unbrotherly" dlspo-
sition. We wish TO
state most emphat-
ically that there Is
no greater injustice
