AUTO CRUSHED BY TRAIN.

There came near being a ser
ious accident at the Buck Swamp
crossing of the Atlantic Coast Line
near Latta Tuesday afternoon when
the southbound passenger train No.
SO crashed into Mr.. N. A. Berry's
May - Il. car.
Mt. Berry was returning from
.Iarion via Latta and as he reach
ed the crossing the car seemed to
lose power going up the incline and
as the machine reached the centre
of the track it came to a stand
still. At this moment a thin cloud
of smoke was seen over the crown
of the hill toward Dillon and after
repeated efforts to move the car Mr..
Berry ran up the track and at
tempted to flag the train but the
engineer failed to slacken his speed
and the train struck the car with
full force. The force of the i'm
pact smashed the car into fragments
and the front trucks of the en-
ings. In the car with Mr.. Berry
wo.c M~s. Berry and Mrs. l.. A.
.daphtrG but the occupants escap-
ed without injury.
The 'ossing at this point is very
rough nd when the car settled be-
,wco:. he rails 1t could not be
owed either way under its own
ruG,ef 1t was not due to any
deJe,; of the car or to any care
iesgocss ON the part of Mr.. Berry.
Jra suck Swamp crossing has been
a .cu~ce of annoyance to the trave-
ling public for many years, and 1t
10 particularly hard for autos to
cross 1t even when it Is in. excel

After q delay of several hours the
damage tc>the engine was repaired
and the train proceeded on to Flor

.LOCOMOBIEE DOES
VERY HARD STUNT

From the Northwest word has been
received stating that at last the re-
cord for the hard treacherous road
between Pomeroy, Wash, and Lewis
ton Idaho has been lowered to below
an hour.
1t has long been the ambition of
local motorists to make the 81 miles
between the two towns in an hour
but owing to the extreme difficulties,
no one ever came near that mark.
Recently however Mr.. G. c. Burns
of Lewiston Idaho, an enthusiastic
I.ocomobile owner, determined to try
out his 40 H. P. Locomoble over this
road.
Accompanied by Mr.. Ralph Gill
christ of Clarkson, Wash, he left
Pomeroy at 1858 A. NJ. and arrived
in Lewiston at 1850 A. NJ. only 81
minutes having been used in travel
ling 81 miles of the worst roads in
Eastern Washington
Mr.. w. D. Wallace of Seattle who
llIaws the roads in that country
would not believe that the feat had
been accomplished until he saw aft
davits from both Mr.. Burns and Mr..
Gilchrist.
After reading them he said-"It is
hard to realize that such time could
be made even by daylight, for the
road is fearful" Leaving Lewiston,
Idaho you crChs the Snake River
and follow the river banks for miles
through heavy sands, in fact, river
bottom sand, the road being strewn
with large boulders and sharp rocks
t. the extent that fast driving is
dangerous. Owing to the heavy sand
on this portion of the route it is al
II Ost impossible for many cars. Leav-
ing the Snake River the road follows
up what is known as Alpowa Canyon
| for about 10 miles, this route up the
Canyon being all stiff grade from
five TO twenty per cent on narrow

Have A Very Busy Week

The steamer Sierra brought for The
Won Hamm-Young Company a car
load of the famous Packard cars. One
of these Packards, a beautiful "1S"
runabout, was delivered to Mr.. E. d.
Tenney Mr.. Tenney's car is one of
the latest types of TunabOuts with
fore doors 1t is probably the most
graceful and artistic car in town, and
has been admired by everyone.
Another Packard, a model $50"
phaeton with fore door body, went to
Mrs. c. S. Holloway. This car has
that beautiful straight line effect
which distinguishes the 1911 Packard
IT, is as smooth running as a sewing
machine and yet develops over 60
horsepower. Mr. Geo. l. Brown is
driving the car and is very much en-
We'd by his many friends. This is
the fourth Packard owned by the
Holloway family within the past three
years, and is only another instance
showing Nhe remarkable hold the
Packard car has on its owners.
The third Packard, a beautiful
seven passenger touring car with fore
door body, has been secured by a
young gentleman who intends to put
it in the rent business. The great

One of the pretty, little Flanders
go" cars has been sold to l.. jamie
son. machinist at Oahu plantation.
BY the Lurline next week two more
L. NJ. f. cars will arrive, and six
cylinder Locomobile will be expected
by the same steamer.
People of the Islands are just be-
ginning to realize what the cut in
the price of the Il. NJ. f. car means.
At first it was anticipated by some
of the Doubling Thomases that the
factory could not produce the car
at the price proposed; and it was
ventured that the new car would not
come up to the old in the finer points.
But the other thing has happened,
and, if anything, the e. NJ. F. today is
a superior car to anything the COM
pany has yet sent to this market.
The Flanders is also a very salts
factory machine, and comes at a
Tlice even lower than the r. NJ F.

rlty.

road with many turns, in fact, a road,
the average driver would not care to
drive at all in the dark and would
drive with great caution in the day
time. From the top of the hill at AL
pOwa to Lewiston the road follows a
rolling country constantly up and
down hills, with an elevation of four
to five Hundred llfeet there being
practically no level road in the entire
route, except along the Snake River
bottom out of Lewiston. To those
familiar with this route the time made
by Mr.. Burns of 81 minutes for 81
miles is remarkable and when you
consider that this running was made
at night over the route as described,
it becomes strictly a Locomobile per-
Torrance and bears out the reputation
CT the Locomobile being a hard plug
ger on bad roads and able TO travel
at high speeds through any country
almost regardless of road conditions.

only the official title of Stock Car
Champion, but recognizes the Lozier

the road racing campaign Of 1915
not only developed a champion driver

Lozier, which as a stock car pure
and simple, made the best record OF
the season, although pitted against
many cars that were built for racing
only and which included not only
the cream of the American fleet, but
the pick of the foreigners as well.

CADILLAC GOES
FARTHEST NORTH

No yehicle-wagOn or automobile
las ever penetrated so far north into
the frozen Canadian wilds as did a
Cadillac 1911 car a few weeks ago,
when the fifty-fifth parallel was
reached and a short stop made at the
rorthermost Hudson's Bay trading
post on canadian soil.
The trip north was made from Ed
monitor, in Alberta province, by Tom
Evans, Cadillac factory representa-
tive on the Pacific coast, in the
latter's new demonstrating car.
When the start was made the Their
mometer registered - degrees below
zero, the ground was rough and
frozen hard, and snow had newly
fallen. At times the car travelled / )
to 20 miles without passing a sign
of human habitation, or animal life.
After travelling about so miles" the
Athabasca river-covered with four
feet of ice-was reached, and the
car was steered out on the ice. After
another hundred miles, Athabasca
Landing was reached, where the
party was advised not to attempt
to proceed farther north 1t was also
| learned that the Cadillac was the
first automc bile to make the trip
from Edmonton to Athabasca, and
that few wagons attempted the jour
ney in winter.
