Mems association held the first
- annual meeting yesterday after
noon in the Hollenbeck hotel and Sc
lected officers for the coming year.
That the association is a great success
is testified by the fact that practically
every hotel man from Paso Robles and
Fresno south to San Diego is member
Of the organization, and all are even
more enthusiastic about it now than
when it was first organized.
Perhaps as good an example of the
advantages to be derived from the or
ganizatiOn as any is the winning Of the
recent garbage suit against the city.
The hotel men believed, and their belief
was upheld by the courts, that they
were being wronged by the garbage or
dinanCe Alone, any one of the hotels
would not have been able to fight the
ordinance successfully. Together they
won out, and yesterday they were very
jubilant.

on May 20, 1909 three men were
lunching in a san Francisco cafe. 1t
was rather warm and sutry, just the
kind of a day to make a man long for
green fields and the solitude of the
country. one of the diners leaned back
in his chair. He gazed at the ceiling
a few minutes and then, speaking Slow
ly, said:
I'm tired; tired as the deuce. How
I would like to go on a nice long auto
mobile trip!"
one of the others looked at him a
bit.
"Where would you like to go?" he
asked.
The first speaker, thinking he was
only joking, replied:
"To New York city"
Lets CO." said the other.
That's all there was to it, They left
the cafe and sauntered down street,
looking for an automobile shop. To
the first man it seemed as if he was in
a dream. To the second it was re-
atty They found an auto agency and
asked for chauffeur. They were di-
rected to one.
He was secured and was told to pick

to make a trip to New York city. He
did as he was told, and in less than
two days-in fact. on the first day OF
June, 1909-the party was on its way
to New York city in an automobile.
The man who made the first remark
was Harry ]. Diggles. The man who
said Lets co. was Hugo A. Toussic,
a wholesale liquor dealer of San Fran
cisco. Diggles is a salesman for Mr..
Toussic, and 1t just happened that the
two were having lunch together when
he made the remark which resulted in
his touring across the continent. The
third was T. j. Kelly, also of san
Francisco.
Mr.. Toussic is now in Los Angeles,
guest at the Hayward, being close
personal friend of Harry Fryman's, and
is on another tour of the country, this
time from San Francisco to Tia Juana.
time today.
On the tour which started from San
Francisco last year Mr.. Toussic not
only went to New York, but shipped
his car to England, toured that country
and France and Germany before re-
turning. on his return to San Fran
cisco he published a book entitled:
'Retracing the Pioneers from West to
East"
Those of his friends who have been
lucky enough to receive one say that
the book is absorbingly interesting, and
that the descriptions of some of the
traversed by Mr.. Toussic are
wonderful indeed.
About this time wash" began to
