i'm Point Defiance
Park Great Municipal Asset

One needs only to take one
trip around the newly completed
boulevards through Point Def
ance park to become an ardent
enthusiast of the boulevard plans
for Tacoma. Probably nowhere
in the Northwest can be found
such a picturesque drive confined
within the limits of city park.
For eight miles a smooth, level
road way winds and twines
through gorgeous shrubbery, I'M
der tall pines, and around per-
pendicular bluff. There are no
speed signs. One is only remind
ed to be cautious by the plain,
neatly lettered signs of the parG
board: "This Is Your Park
Treat 1t AS Your own" Seldom
does an auto enthusiast ignore a
common-sense notice like this.
The Point Defiance park boule-
ward is being paved, from the en-
trance to the park, to the end of
the former boulevard system at
Whitworth college. When this
WORK is completed, there will be a
continuous stretch of smooth paw
ing from the center of the city
to the famous old Rustic bridge
of the park.
The boulevard follows the
Point electric line, diverging at
North Saith and Proctor streets.
From this point it follows the
edge of the bluff to Whitworth
college, whence it runs west on
Gath street, finally looping into
the park by a great circle west of
Pearl street. One who has never
been over the road can easily find
it. If by no other method, by the
wide streak of darkened pave
ment running from 9th and Q
streets to the PARK. The dark
color of the asphalt is caused by
the grease-droppings of countless
machines.
From the entrance of the park
to the Rustic bridge extends
smooth, winding bit Of paved
road. From the pioneer bridge
out to the extreme Point, and
back through devious winding
roads, the boulevard is as smooth
as asphalt, and level as floor.
The boulevard is shaded by
great trees during every hour OF
the day. 1t approaches the steep
promontory of Point Defiance at
the abrupt edge for nearly a mile
giving autoists full view of the
harbor and the Narrows. A heavy
cable has been stretched around
J the edge of the Point to prevent
danger of an accident on the

BUSY BOOSTER
FOR KEETON

DETROIT, July 19.-Since the
excellent showing of Bob Burman,
the Speed King, with the Keeton
car, in the Tacoma road race of
July 5, every effort is being made
by the promoters of the Elgin
road races in August and the
Savannah automobile races to in
duce Burman to enter his Keeton
in the events. The Speed King
has wired the Keeton company en-
Enthusiastically with regard to the
road racing possibilities of his
car which was constructed for the
Indianapolis Speedway race and
says that the Keeton is splendidly
constructed for rough road rae
ing. Burman is anxious to start
at Elgin and Savannah, If he can
arrange his racing program in the
west, which had been arranged
during the winter of 1913 so as
to start in these events.

CADILLAC CAR
FOR 1914 is
MYSTERY

the automobile world, always
susceptible to changes and limo
vations, has been put on tenter
hooks by the preliminary an
nouncement of the Cadillac Mo-
tor Car company referring to GER
tain progressive developments
which will distinguish the 1914
Cadillac, the exact nature of
which will soon be revealed.
Those active in the industry
and laymen as Welfare always
keenly curious about contemplate
ed motor car improvements and
what they portend, but this inter-
est is whetted to it's keenest edge
when the Cadillac announces a
new series because of the position
the company occupies in the his
tory and development of the mo-
tor car. In the affairs of the
Cadillac, there has been whole
some fear of the whims of the
fadist, and the merely temporary
innovations. But the company,
nevertheless, has from time to
time played the role of pioneer
and has inaugurated several i'm
portant epochs in the development
of the motor car. One of these
epochs illustrates in an especially
significant manner the reason for
the public's attitude toward this
company. 1t was two years ago
that the Cadillac had the honor of
being first to introduce an auto
matte electrical cranking and
lighting system. 1t was revo-
luton in efficiency and comfort.
AS there have been many other
progressive features first develop
ed in this car, the query is now
naturally voiced each year:
what will the Cadillac do?"

GOSSIP AMONG
LOCAL DEAL ERS

H. H. Robinson, who has travel
ed for several months in the
south for the Keeton Motor COM
pany as special sales representa-
tive in seven states, says that
there is plenty of business all
through the southern country in
spite of the alarming reports re-
garding the cotton crop in Geor-
gia and neighboring states. Mr..
Robinson has found the utmost
interest in good roads everywhere
and this is having it's effect on the
demand for automobiles through
out the country as we'll as in the
large cities.
A Franklin Little Six touring
car making % $40 miles on one
gallon of gasoline won first prize
in the economy test held by the
Springfield Automobile club at the
clubs annual outing at Spring
field, Mass. The car carried four
passengers whose weight was $50
pounds, bringing the total weight
of the car and It's occupants up
to $3.50 pounds. There were 10
cars that took part in the run.
The Kissel Kar two-ton truck
which recently made a remarkable
150-mile round trip between Bal
timore and Hagerstown, Md,
loaded one way with furniture,
consumed an average of one gal
Ion of gasoline to each six miles.
The fruit belt of Michigan ex-
tending almost across the state
from north to south along the
shore of Lake Michigan, has prov
en- profitable field for manufac-
turers of motor trucxs. The Gar
ford company of Elyria, o., re-
ports that within the past two
seasons 1t has sold several of its
vehicles to fruit growers in the
Michigan belt and that many
more will be delivered this year,
before the fruit season opens in
earnest.

Nebraska Is one of the recent pur-
chasers of Marion cars. He has

company of Omaha.

ma misses a treat if he fails to
visit the Point Defiance boulevard.
The new scenic road did not
cost much-a mere trifle COM
pared to boulevards in other cities
with half the picturesque beauty.
And, from a commercial aspect
alone, it is worth thousands of
dollars to the city. Any tourist
or stranger could not but be i'm
pressed by the beauteous scenery
of such an automobile promenade.

Field Representatives of the de-
