A demonstration of the fact that
the low-priced motor car of today
can carry tour passengers almost
anywhere under the sun they may
wish togo, was made last Saturday
when a model 1851 Buick climbed
to the top of Mount Diablo with
three grown men and about 700
pounds of baggage, the property of
some thirty members Of the Sierra
Club who were camping over night
at the top.
The car was driven by Earl de-
Wore of the Howard Automobile
Company and carried Claude Nc
Gee of the same company and a
newspaper man. 1t climbed the
grade which represents an ascent
of some 1900 feet without me-
chanical difficulty and under it's
own power at all times.
The car with its three passengers
left Oakland Saturday noon travel

against the brick monument that
marks the surveying point for
California, Nevada, Utah and
Arizona.
The party camped at the top all
night, and on Sunday, after photo
graphing the car in its perilous po-
sition, started on the descent,
where the only barriers between
its occupants and a wild plunge in
to eternity were Driver de Vore's
nerve and the powerful braking OF
the machine-both of which prov
ed to be equal to the task.
On the way down the a carried
four passengers besides it's heavy
load of baggage, as n of the club
members bruised a foot so severity

unable to walk the return trip.
