ROUGH GOING ON RUSSIAN
 ROADS


 A worthy forerunner to the Amer ican yistories in, the athletic world at Stockholm were the motor vehicle trials conducted by the Russian war office in June. determine the adap- liability of motor vehicles for army service in all of it's branches, the Russian government held a reliability run which for difficulty and exact ing conditions has never been ap- proved
 The route covered started at St. Petersburg, circled around through Moscow, and then returned over d different course to the Russian cap ital, the entire distance traversed amounting to about nineteen hundred and sixty English miles he road con- ditions were indescribable. In many places there were no roads at all, the course being across sand hills. over fields and plowed ground, and through forest trails. It was neceS- sary to precede the tour by a de- tachment of army bridge builders to make it possible for the cars to get through at all.
 Forty five cars and trucks started from St. Petersburg on June 9th. The trails ended in St Petersburg on June 23d, after seventeen days of the hardest service to which motor ve- hicles have ever been subjected. The last three days run was made at high speed over hard, rough roads. and was extremely eXacting. Thirty five cars finished the trip.

MORELANO AUTO
 TRUCK AGENCY
c. H. Smith and F. E. Huff fer Have Established Headquarters in Phoenix for Their Distillate Driv
 en Freight Wagons

The first guard of an army of au- tomobile dealers, distributing the Moreland auto truck, is in Phoenix c. H. Smith and F. E. Huffer, both experienced advertising men, are on the ground to establish an agency that will handle this popular new commercial vehicle for the whole state.
 Arriving only last Thursday, MT. Huffer made a sale of the demon stratiOn car to the Phoenix Flour mill. The users assure MT. Huffer they are entirely satisfied with the husky little auto, and their tests have been most successful. Loaded with a 5800- pound ballast, the wagon walked away like a locomotive, though the machine is designed to carry but two tons.
 The number of inquiries from pros pective customers has both surprised and delighted the agent. He is taking every means to insure the success of the leadership in Phoenix. When things get organized and the territory is divided up amongst the various dealers, who are aniXous to handle the "only successful distillate truck" the manager promises some interest ing records in the way of sales If hveness and enterprise can push a good article to success" say the advance agents, then we vii come into the home stretch with our hair blowing back" which is taken as an indica- tion of some. speed.
 When it becomes known that c H Smith is the brother of the same Bert who is now automobile editor of the Los Angeles Times, and the man who pulled off the recent highly success ful cross country logging tour, it is evident he will receive a most hearty welcome in Phoenix. And when the gentleman asserts himself and be- comes better known there will be still more reason to be glad of his presence. Like his brother, MT Smith was for many years a newspaper man. and the liveness he acquired in that branch of industry is now helping him to fame as an auto advertiser
 His first stunt in the southwest was to get permission from the manager of the Los Angeles Phoenix road race to map the route with the Moreland truck. About a week before the clas- SIC bl tHe SOQIHWeSI Is run the husky little motor will reel off the miles be- tween the metropolis of southern Cali fornia and that of Arizona, the driv- CTS logging the route for the speedier mounts to follow.
 The car will also be we'll displayed at the fair grounds during the biggest week in the year. Demonstrations will be made daily to acquaint the users of motor driven commercial ve- hicles with the merits of the More land.
 By means of a patent gasifier, it is claimed the liquid is made to give up more power to the gallon that is pos sible to get from gasoline This will be shown at the fair, when with prop CT timing and checking facilities. the Moreland motor will be put through her paces in economy runs and tests.

Then followed two polls without re- suit but in 1902 two districts gave a 50 per cent vote for no-license; in 1905 other three districts adopted no-license, and in 1908 licenses were abolished in six districts, making a total of twelve districts now under no-license. From 1893 to 1908 the mo- license vote showed a gradual and steady increase, and after the 1908 poll the no-license party entered the political arena with demands for a national prohibition poll, and for the removal of the 50 per cent vote, with

LOCAL OPTION IN AUSTRALASIA

The local option vote has always been on the 50 per cent basis, i e., to abolish licenses requires 50 per cent of all the votes cast, and once licenses are abolished it requires 60 per cent to restore licenses. Under this system the supporters of mo-
 licenses have had considerable suc- cess The first poll in 1893 resulted in one district adopting no-license.
