fields, with their fruit and foliage
GOOD ROADS THE RULE
From Petaluma to Santa Rosa the
road is in very good condition except
in few places, which are not long,
where some improvements have been
made, and are not vet worn down, and
near the towns which show the effect
of the heavier traffic. From the city
of roses to Healdsburg there are three
turns. and the landscape becomes
hitler and wilder. Before Cloverdale
is reached there are many small
grades, but the road is in pretty fair
shape. and good time was made. On
both sides of the road. and stretching
far ahead into the foot of the hills,
the famous vineyards of the Russian
river sections are to be seen. From
Cloverdale the real scenery begins, as
the road climbs and winds up through
the hills, which are wild and rugged
in their grandeur with their immense
boulders and jutting rocks, while far
below, the ever changing. ever swirlng
waters of the Russian river flow some
times through narrow channels, where
they look dark and deep in the
shadows, then again spreading out into
a broad and almost sluggish sheet,
which lies limpid and sparkling in the
hot sunshine. The wild trees of almost
every description grow from the very
waters edge TO the top of the hills,
to be broken only by the winding road
which is mans work in this wonderful
scene OF creation. The shiny bark of
the silver poplar the red of the ma
drone. the brown of the pine or red
wood, and the different shades of green
of the oak, willow and many other
varieties, blended by the master artist
make composition the harmony of
which no one having seen once can
forget.
CLIMB WORTH WHILE
This continues until Pieta is reached.
Here began the climb of the day. But
it was we'll worth the while for the
panoramic view is one of great beauty.
Up, up and ever up the great Pieta
grade, which although in pretty fair
shape, is somewhat dusty in spots. It
is 10 miles of twisting and turning.
climbing and descending, but ever
going higher, until the summit is
reached. Then the road begins to de-
scend in the same fascinating manner
of curves, sometimes with a deep cliff
on one side, sometimes rolling mound,
and then again grassy slope that for
moment hides the view of the land
scape beyond.
From the summit to Highland

teresting pictures to each mile, and
there is certainly excitement enough.

Natures beauty spots are not scarce
in this world, if one has the means and
the knowledge of how and where to
find them. California is rich in such
pleasure giving places: in fact, as an
eastern man, who recently toured
throughout the state. said: There is
hardly a spot within half hours ride
of San Francisco which does not amply
repay one for visiting it" Perhaps
one of the prettiest sections of the
state. and one that abounds in choice
pictures from natures gallery, is Lake
county.
A recent trip was made from this city
TO Witter Springs, and one of the par
Elephants in the ride gives a good de-
scription of the roads and surrounding
country as seen from big Renault

FIRST LAP DESCRIBED
From San Rafael the Renault shot out
a finely kept road known as Petaluma

the enjoyment of the motorists. The

Leaving San Francisco an early
morning boat was taken TO Tiburon,
from which place the trip proper COM
menced. The road winds for the dis
tance of about a mile along a bluff and
then descends to a slightly curving
road. which runs along between fields
and hills on one side and the waters of
the bay on the other for a little over
eight miles until it reaches the junction
of the road from Sausalito near Alto

fusely covered with climbing vines with
their gay blossoms.
From Novato, the course lies along
a twisting road which looks as though
some genie had carelessly thrown down
a ribbon, between fields, broken here
and there by farms or ranches. The
fields are not green at this time of the
wear. but for the industry of this sec

WHITE COMP PANY'S
new COUPE MODEL

The latest addition to the White com
pany's constantly growing line of
steam and gasoline cars and motor
known as the White gasoline coupe.
This coupe is designed especially for
the use of those who desire the pleas

protection from the weather. The
steering wheel and operating levers are
located within the closed body, and the
operator, as we'll as the other passen-
gers, are thus afforded protection from
the rain and cold. At the same time all
the exhilaration of an open air car may
be enjoyed by lowering the windows
into the wainscotted panels. The coupe

stylish lines, and the interior arrange
ment makes possible a door on both
sides. thus permitting entrance to the
coupe from the curb on either side of
the car. The distinctive feature which
makes this double entrance. possible
is the convenient seating arrangement.
The operators seat can be folded back
against the steering wheel. in order
that ample room may be permitted for
entrance or exit through the door on
the right side of the car. There is a
commodious seat in the rear facing
forward and a single seat alongside of

BRINEGAR TELLS
OF CHALMERS so

Many motrists are watching with
great interest. the battle for supremacy
in the Glidden tour. The tour this year
unlike former tours. is over route
which is so bad and the rules are SO
strict that it will be impossible for
any car to maintain a perfect road
score and then come out clean from the
test that will be made by the machani-
cal experts.
The Pioneer automobile company has
received word that in one days run
this season every car but the Chalmers
80, carrying No. 5 was penalized. This
machine at the present writing is clean
all the way through, and it is said that
the going has been so bad that many
correspondents have quit trying to
cover the trip. There are at present
but 10 of the II that started still COM
peting for the big cup. Who will win
is still a debated question, although
the Chalmers now has a big lead.
f. P. Brinegar of the company said
yesterday:
But one thing is certain: they will
. have that go" to contend with until
the last mile is covered. Last season
the Chalmers was raced and this year
they are going after the big endurance
events, as it appears that the grinding
. test of a long endurance run, where not
only perfect roads count but mechani-
cal perfection as we'll is the real test
Among the prominent tiremen accom-
panying the Cilidden tour this year are
H. X kittenhouse and Comfy Michener
Of the Diamond rubber company. who
are assisting in tabulating tire results
developed In an official sense the
rules do not provide a penalty for tire
changes or injuries on contesting cars
in any way. So long a the driver
keeps his engine running he is privi-
legged to replace his tires all around or
make any repair desired 1t is for this
reason that the Diamond rubber com
pany introduced the practice of meas
uring tire results by the average mile
age cost per car for tire equipment.

Republican State Convention

Last Saturday republican poll
ticians from all over the state we're,
strongly in evidence at the St. Paul
hotels. The magnet that attracted
them was the meeting of the state
committee to fix a time and place for
holding the republican state conven-
ton and apportioning the delegates
thereto. The convention will be held
at the auditorium in St. Paul on
Tuesday, June 81, and the basis of
representation will be five delegates
at large from each county and a
delegate for every $50 votes cast for
the republican candidates on the state
ticket at the last general election.
The call also provides for the nomi-
nation of candidate for United
States senator. Under the call the
candidates for the supreme court are
to be nominated first, then the
governor, lieutenant governor, secre-
tary of state, auditor, treasurer,
attorney general, railroad COM
missioner and clerk of the supreme
court. The cut-and-dried program
as arranged in advance was carried
out to the letter. Mile Laos county
will be entitled to nine delegates in
the convention, Isanti nine, Sher-
burne eight, AnOka ten.
