DESIGNS HOTEL
ON AUTO WHEELS
Montreal Man Puts Private
Railroad Car Arrangement
on 3-Ton Packard Truck.

Luxury in motor travel, together
with independence from hotels, has
been achieved by u. II. Dandurand,
of Montreal, in a Pullman Packard.
On a three-ton Packard truck chassis
has been mounted a body, the interior
arrangement of which is similar to
that of a private railroad car.
Twenty-Five persons are easily carried
on short trips, and for long journeys
there are accommodations for the
comfort of eleven. including chauffeur
and cook.
The body is % feet 3 inches over
all, 6 feet s inches wide, 8 feet 6 inches
outside height, 8 feet s inches inside
height. The. compartments consist Of
a stateroom for the driver in front, a
ladies' stateroom with sleeping room
for five, a mems stateroom with quar-
tiers for four. This section is also
the dining and smoking room, with
two extension tables and a folding
desk.
In the real is a kitchenette, COM
pact and complete from stove to re-
frigerator.
There is a telephone system with
four instruments, placing every COM
partment in touch with the driver.
The interior finish is mahogany,
the drapings Of green silk and plush
with gold lace trimmings, with Pull
man carpets to match.
The lighting system consists of a
dynamo with two accumulators hav-
ing a capacity of 100 amperes. The
front of the car has six lights, two
electric, two gas and two oil; the
real has a red tail light, an electric
dome light and two railway signal
lights.
Under the body floor are five lock-
ers containing planks to reinforce
weak bridges. blocks and tackle and
an entire touring emergency outfit
The body was built by P. Brault,
Montreal. Special springs. designed
by Packard engineers, insure easy
riding. Mr.. Dandurand. who is pres
ident of the Comet Motor Car Com
pany in Montreal, will go to Florida
this fall with his family in his Pack
ard Pullman and spend the winter in
Southern touring.

were surrounded by peaks on which
the snow never melts. and the snow
line was right at hand. Miles and
miles in every direction stretched
the peaks and valleys, q conglomera-
ton of vivid and subdued coloring.
1.-THE Tourist did excellent work in
its mountain pathfnding, for a motor
car had never before penetrated the
territory we toured, almost above the
clouds. There never was a bit of
trouble on the whole trip, and never
once was there the least danger
through mechanical imperfections. 1
am positive we have opened up a new
touring route that will be ~patronized
by thousands of motorists"
In San Francisco, too, the American
has been adding to It's laurels as a
climber. On a recent Sunday, f. NJ.
Bowman, of the American Motors
+, California Company, attempted and
accomplished a stunt which has
since been the talk of the city, when
he drove a Thirty" containing four
people. over the top of Twin Peaks,
| at the end of Market street. In places
the grade of the ascent is over 40
per cent.

list furnishing the transportation, Mr..
Chryst, of Fresno, Cal, has opened
the way for the new pastime. A let
ter written by Mr.. Chryst to the
American Motors California Company,
of San Francisco, enclosing a picture
of the car and Its occupants, brought
news of the achievement.
1.-THE trip, besides being absolute
ly unique in motor touring, was one
never to be forgotten" writes Mr..
Chryst. Mile after mile and hour
after hour we SKINNED along up
the hard mountain trails, through a
constantly changing panorama of
scenery, beautiful beyond description.
Gorges, ravines, towering rock walls
that seemed to reach through the
sky; all these things furnished the
thrills known only to lovers of noun
tain climbing. And the trip was
unique in that it was made in about
one-tenth the time required in the
old method-horse or mule-back
climbing.
when we reached the top the
grandeur and picturesqueness of the
mountain scenery gave one a thrill
which car never be forgotten. We

ROUTE
SURVEYED TO MONTREAL

A new route between Montreal and
Plattsburg has just been surveyed
by one of the Touring Club of Amer
official Blue Book airs, which
has been charting all of the new
roads in Northern and Central New
York and through Southern Canada.
This new route Is about fifteen
miles shorter than the old way, the
odometer readings showing 65.5 miles
between these two cities. Automo-
bllists are advised to follow this new
route via Moores, st. Edwards. La
Tatue and La Prairie In to Montreal.
There is a good macadam road for
over twenty miles of the way, and
the balance Is good dirt road with
the execution of about ten miles of
clay, which is fine to travel over.
Tourists visiting Montreal should
call at the Touring Clubs h%eadquar-
tiers in the Hotel st. Regis.

 The steamer Admiral Sampson left Seward with nearly forty witnesses who had been summoned to appear before the grand jury at Cordova. After Judge Overfield decided that there would be no meeting of the grand jury here, the coming witnesses were instructed by wire to come only so far as Valdez. It was then intend ed to return them on the steamer Alameda. But it was soon figured out that it might be question whether these men could, again leave their homes at Afognak and on Cooks Inlet in time to appear be- fore the grand jury at Valdez on December 2. So to make certain of it about thirty of them are being held at Valdez for a month and a half so that they will be certain to be present when wanted. Those who came from Seward were paid off at Valdez and permitted to return home, having been served with new sub- poenaes to appear at the term of court on December 2. The special term at Cordova on November l f will be short and will have to do prin- cipally with the post office cases.

SEATTLE, Oct. 22-Nearly every one has heard or read of the most northerly gold camp in the world, the most northerly trading post, the most northerly church, etc., but it re- mained for Thomas Riggs, jr., leader of the survey party which in con junction with Canadian engineers, surveyed the international boundary line from Mount St. Elias to the Arc tic ocean, cutting vista twenty feet in width where there was timber and placing monuments to mark the trail at an average of four miles over the entire distance, to give an au- thentic report of what is, without doubt, the most northerly forest re- serve.
 "We are coming back inland from the Arctic shore,' said MT. Riggs, We hadn't seen a stick of timber for more than a month, nothing but the Arctic waste everywhere, and just as we came over ridge about thirty miles inland, we came in sight of one little bit of a forlorn-looking, lonesome runt fir. We were not back to the timber line yet and there was not another tree or shrub of any sort in sight anywhere. just that one fir. Max NJ. Pope, of Baltimore, the hum ter of the party, stopped and stared at it. Well, I'll be darned,' he said finally, if there ain't the Pinchot | forest reserve
 "The fact was recorded on the tree by letters carved in the bark, and photographs taken of it bear the label: 'Pinchot forest reserve, the most northerly in the world.''
