Vanderbilt Cup Race.

The Vanderbilt cup race was marked
by a series of fatalities and accidents,
second only to the memorable Paris
Madrid race and it's tragic results.
Harold Stone of Los Angeles driver
of a Columbia car, was badly hurt, and
his mechanician, Baker. vas killed in a
crash which occurred soon after the race
started. Charles Miller, m~echanician
of the Marquette-Buick car, driven by
Louis Chevrolet, was killed instantly in
a crash with a touring car along the
route. Ferdinand D'Zubia, New York
manager of the Pope Hartford COM
pany, was killed in a smash-up while on
his way down to the race. The number
of accidents, short of fatalities, ran to
scores--New York Evening Post.

EnqIish Roadmaking.

We don't know what good roads are,
in this country, as compared with the
Old World. In England, for instance
where they already have magnificent
roads of the ante-automobile kind, they
are now making efforts to meet in
roadmaking the new conditions imposed
by motor and trolley-car traffic. The
problem, as may be imagined, is not
an easy one. An experimental road of
about eight miles is now being laid out
near Newcastle. In designing the road,
according to a Consular report, the en-
gineer in charge has given attention to
the possible development in both heavy,
slow, and fast vehicular and motor traf-
fic, each of which demands separate
consideration, and possibly different
methods of road-surface treatment.
The plan accordingly provides for a cen
tire footpath 9 feet in width; on the
east side of the footpath a road for
motor and light, fast traffic "a feet in
width; and on the west side of the foot
path a road for heavy slow traffic %
feet in width. This gives a width for
highway purposes of SIS feet. The plan
further shows OF the westernmost side
of the footpath a width of ID feet re-
served for light railway or trolley
purposes, making a total width of land
to be acquired of SO feet. Burlington

A few weeks ago the Register pub
lished a short article from the New
York World stating that a bill had beer
introduced into Parliament, banishine
automobiles from the highways of the
United Kingdom. 1t also referred tt
some feature in the bill making ar
rangement for motor vehicles. We
have since tried repeatedly to get
copy of this bill, but thus far withou
success.
1t would seem as if the above exper
iment is al attempt to build a sys
TEN of roads for the use of automobile
and othee motor vehicles.

TO END AUTO OIL NUISANCE
Highways Society Would Have
Drip Pans on all Machines.

So many complaints have been re-
ceived from persons whose clothing has
been ruined by contact with oil leaking
from automobiles on the crosswalks and
in front of garages throughout the city
that the National Highways Protective
Society, through its secretary, E. S.
Cornell, has decided to try to stop the
nuisance.
Mr.. Cornell has written letters to the
various garage proprietors and manag-
ers of hotels asking them to cooperate
with the organization in Kidding the city
of the oil pools and stains. In the let
ter he says that Goth street at the cor
ner of Broadway is frequently covered
with pools of oil.
The cooperation of the Street Clean
ing Department is also asked for. A
letter has been sem to Commissioner
Edwards telling him of the complaints
and suggesting a regulation that will
compel automobilists to have drip pans
on their machines to catch the OIL

ritory AbIaze.

Warroad, Mimi, Oct. -Beaudette,
Spooner, Pitt and Graceton, Mimi, have
been wiped off the map of Minnesota by
the most terrible forest fire ever eXper-
fenced by Minnesota settlers. The
bodies of s~eventy-five settlers have been
found, and it is thought that the death
rate among the settlers will be upward
of three hundred. Wagonloads of bodies
are being brought into the railway sta
ton at Beaudette constantly.
1t is reported that many settlers,
crazed with grief at the loss of families
and property, are roaming the woods,
and searching parties are constantly go,
ing out after the injured, the dead and
the demented. One family of nine, one
of seven and one of five were wiped out
on Friday night.
At $3.50 p. m. on Saturday a cyclone OF
fire struck Beaudette and Spooner, anC
within three minutes after the first
alarm every building vas ablaze, anc
within an hour they We're heaps OF
ashes. The people of these two towns
had just sufficient time to get out OF
their homes with what they had on theil
backs, taking nothing else with them.
They were loaded on to a passenger
train that was standing at the station
and taken across to Rainy River, Ont.

The whole country east of here is or

COOPER--At the residence of
his son-in-law. j. G. G. Fralick, in
Grant parish, La, on Thursday,
May 26, 1910, Mr.. j. V. Cooper,
born Feb. %, 1S4l, departed this
life at the age of 60 years, 2months
and 4 days.
Mr.. Cooper was married to Mary
j. Smith on March 20, 1S-, and
and of this union seven children
were born, three of whom are now
living. Mr.. Cooper had been in
i'll health for some time, but bore
his sufferings with patience and
fortitude. When he was asked
how he felt, he would say he felt
all right, and when his last hour
came he closed his eyes and folded
his hands across his breast, and
the gates of heaven were open.
and his soul took its fight for its
celestial home In the skies. We
feel and realize that the country
has lost q good citizen, and we of
this community have lost a good
friend and neighbor. He was laid
to rest in the Dry Prong cemetery
in the presence of many sorrowing
relatives and friends.
Why do we mourn departed friends.
Or shake at Deaths alarms?
IT'S but the voice that Jesus sends
To call them to his arms.
