The San Francisco call., 1913-08-12
KLAMATH TOUR IS
ONE OF BEAUTY
Route for Motorists via Lake
Tahoe Considered One of
Best in the State


In response to the large number OF
inquiries regarding the best route for
motor trip from this city to klamath
Falls. Ore, via Lake Tahoe. The Call
secured the following log from 5. o.
Johnson, who has just completed the
journey.
Il left San Francisco going early
Saturday morning. and went by the
way of the foothill boulevard through
Berkeley to Hayward, there / turned
to the left through the new road lead
ing to Livermore. From Livermore,
following the same map route to Stock
ton, and from Stockton to Sacramento
Leaving Berkeley at s o'clock, / ar
rived in Sacramento at 1890 o'clock.
These roads are absolutely perfect.
The time ii takes to make this trip
depends upon how successful you are
in not being caught breaking the speed
| limit
Leaving Sacramento about noon the
next day, we motored over beautiful
roads to Folsom, from Folsom to Pla-
| cerville, roads were not so good, but
they were very good mountain roads.
This distance, however, Is not great
and we made good time. From Placer
vile TO Tallac, it is unnecessary to say
anything about the roads. They are
simply fine, the best mountain roads
/ have ever seen-the state highway.
From Tallac TO Tahoe tavern there
is a good road. but as yet the road Is
not completed within three miles, and
1t is necessary TO ship the machine on
the boat and go around this distance.
One has a chance, however of driving
over q very good mountain road to
Reno, and from Reno, they can run
toward Truckee about half way and
q fn In
the same route that travelled. The
distance Is a little longer This will
obviate shipping the machine on the
boat over to Tahoe tavern.
We left Tahoe tavern about O'Clock
in the afternoon. going over a very
good mountain road to Truckee; from
Truckee we took the regular road to
Reno, boulevard, which is very ex-
cellent road. Going about half way to
Reno, we turned off to the left and
went to Loyalton. This also is very
good road. The distance is about S5
TO 40 miles from Tahoe tavern to Loyal
ton.
AT Loyalton we stopped at very
nice little hotel, where we spent a very
pleasant evening.
From Loyalton we started about 7
o'clock in the morning, and motored
through a beautiful valley, over splen-
did roads of the Western Pacific rail-
road We followed the Western Pa
cific, also over good road, for some
distance, and then took the main trav-
eled road over to Susanville. At Susan
Vile we took the main road to Beiber,
going up steep hill out of Susanville.
and going by way of Hayden Hill and
about eight miles before reaching Alden
we turned off to the right where there
is signpost and went over to Beiber,
arriving at o'clock in the afternoon.
1T is immateria1 whether one goes
TO Beiber or Alden; the distance is
about the same. From Beiber we went
to Lookout, another mountain town
about 10 miles distant If one goes to
Alden instead of Beiber. then also you
will have to go to Lookout. The dis
tance is the same and the roads are
about the same.
From Lookout we took the Happy
Camp road, going by way of Dry lake
Tule lake and Merrill. The road out
of Lookout for few miles is not near
| ly so smooth as the rest of the road
| The rest of the road is very excellent
About II miles from Merrill, which
| is % miles from klamath Falls, you
strike the famous klamath county
roads, which are nothing more or less
than q grand boulevard all the way to
klamath Falls
I'VE travelled 277 miles from Loyal
ton, leaving there at o'clock in the
morning. and arrived at klamath Falls
at 10 o'clock at night"

position of sales manager, while r.
K. Roberts retains his former post OF

In speaking of the new arrange

Mr.. Thompson's successor has not

steady and consistent increase in the
volume Of Buick business from year
