Little Buick Made
Great Showing at
the Corona Races
Ed Waterman Drove Very Con-
sistent Race--Looked Like the
Winner From the Start

One Of the most remarkable fea-
lures of the sensational victory OF the
little Buick at Corona last Tuesday,
when it broke the worlds record, was
the fact that Ed Waterman, who
drove the race. had only two days in
which to familiarize himself with the
car, according to c. S. Howard, head
of the Howard Automobile company.
Pacific coast distributor of Buick and
National cars. who further says:
THE wonderful showing made by
the little Buick at Corona on Sep
tember 9 was doubly gratifying to me.
as this is the first time young Water
man has participated in an event of
this nature. and while it is true that
he piloted his Buick from forty fifth
position at the start to second place
at the finish of the Los Angeles to
Sacramento road race on July 4, the
Buick he drove in that race was his
own. and he was entirely familiar
with every detail of it, while the one
he drove at Corona was a very much
smaller and lighter car, and he only
had two days in which to familiarize
himself with il"

TRUCKS ARE USED
IN MOVING F FRUIT

THE truck industry for the fall of
1913 seems to be largely confined to
the fruit sections of the valleys" says
Ivan de Jongh. general manager of
the Pioneer Motor Truck corporation.
the coast distributors of the General
Motors trucks. There are number
of reasons for this. The ranching in
dustry of California is the most re-
munerative of all California indus
tries.
The valleys are generally level
and the roads are fair through all of
the well improved districts The ton
mage of fruits to be hauled from said
ranches is enormous during four or
FIVE months of the year. After this
work is over there is little or no use
for horses, and they have to be fed
until such time as the industry starts
again. Now fruit packers, .ranchers
and transfer men, who handle this
business, see this great advantage In
the substitution of the motor truck.
They work their trucks day and
night. thus handling a much larger
tonnage than could possibly be han

ability conforms with the capacity of
the truck. and are enabled to avoid

Maps and Plans for Great

way Now Completed

DETROIT. Mich. Sept 1s.-The
route Of the Lincoln highway is prac-
tically settled.
This is the information just brought
TO Detroit by Henry E. Joy. president,
and Carl G. Fisher and A r. Parding-
ton, vice presidents of the Lincoln
Highway association, on their return
from Colorado Springs, where they at
tended the conference of governors
and presented the plans for this great
transcontinental route.
An official statement has been is
sued to the thousands of subscribers
to the $4,000 coo fund now being
raised, which reads as follows:
The maps and plans presented by
us and others showed a unanimity Of
opinion extraordinary In seeking to
solve the problem of an ocean to ocean
highway
I'VE regret that we can not as yet
give details of the proposed route Of
this most practical memorial TO the
uartyred Lincoln. We are, however,
pleased to state that if our negotia-
tions in regard to some OF the eastern
possible sections OF the route are as
entirely satisfactory as our confer
ence with the governors, I hope We
may get the whole field covered in the
near future. We are after some Penn
Sylvanias and Ohio information and
&wait some details from the middle
west before it is possible to make any
statement that might not be prejudi-
cial and disturbing.
The whole country is ablaze with
enthusiasm for this main artery Of
travel, but the pressure from some
states and sections TO divert it from
the straightest, shortest course, have
rendered some of our negotiations
rather delicate and strenuous.

Detroit directly south to Toledo to

Fast Speed Kills
Life in Any Tire

The tire industry is keeping pace
with the manufacture of automo
biles,' says E. II. Priest. chief of
the tire department OF Chanslor-Lyon
company, who has just returned from
an extensive visit to the Lee tire fac
tory.
Many motor car owners fail TO ap
preciate the fact that the manufac-
ture of tires is Just as deep study
as that of building automobiles; in
fact. 1T takes deeper thinking and de-
signing to meet the ever increasing
speed of the motor car.
Speed means death to tires, the
greater the speed the shorter the life
of the tire. Increased power, which
also means speed, cuts down mileage.
THE average owner does not gem
orally appreciate this fact. He will
start his car by turning on more
power than is necessary; the result
is something has to give. the car has
to shoot ahead if there is traction
or the wheels spin. meaning that the
rubber on the tires is being rubbed
off in quantities, which. If the owner
only knew. means cost that would
startle him.

$4,000 FOR A
new AUTO
F FUEG
London Society Offers Big
Sum for Solution of Fuel
Problem for Motor Car
TESTS WILL SHORTLY
BE MADE BY EXPERTS
Alcohol for a Substitute for
Gasoline Not Suitable, but
Coal Is Likely

The Society Of Motor Manufacturers
and Traders of London has an
nounced a prize of 1000 guineas, or
$40 600. for a solution of the fuel
problem on automobiles, the prelimi
nary tests for which will be made
shortly.
According to L. ". Orde. secretary
of the Royal Automobile club, the OBJ
jeot of the manufacturers society
in Offering this prize is to ascertain
whether it is practicable to replace
gasoline or motor spirit, as our Eng
lish cousins cali it, by less costly
fuel produced entirely from materials
available in Great Britain and obtain
able in quantities commensurate with
the increasing demand.
The competition is exceedingly in
teresting to Americans, not so much
on account Of the present price OF
gasoline, but because of the constant
ly falling quality of that necessary
fuel, which already can hardly be
distinguished from Kerosene.
1t is expected that this prize will
develop some alternative fuel, and 1t
is hoped that 1t will be in such shape
that it can be used on car without
greatly disturbing the existing
mechanism.
Former President Theodore Roose-
welt hoped that alcohol would solve
the problem. and to that end induced
congress to remove the internal reve-
nue. taxes on this produce. Expert
ence has shown. however, that alco-
hoI can not be produced under II
cents a gallon. to which price must
be added selling and transportation
expenses, with the result that the
motorist would have to pay 80 cents
o, even more IL it were produced in
sufficient quantities to be available as
q motor fuel.
There is also a mechanical problem
in the way of the use of alcohol. due
to the difficulty with which il is
burned. a much higher compression
being required than is necessary tor
gasoline This would require the
rebuilding of present motors.
1t is hoped that the English So
cfety's tests will result in a means
being devised whereby coal or some
other material. easily and cheaply OBJ
tanned. may be used in a producer and
thus solve the problem which is acute
to every motorist because of the trou-
BILE of starting engines on 81 test
gasoline in cold weather.

REDUCTION ON
BARLEY SCORED
r. T. KINGMAN GIVES VIEWS ON
TARIFF BILL AT REQUEST OF
oUTLook-5ELlEVES THAT 10
CENT DUTY ON WHEAT WILL
BE SUFFICIENT,

That the 10 cent duty on wheat will
be sufficient protection for the farm
ers but that the reduction in the tariff
on barley and wool is i~ndefensibIe are
the conclusions of r. T. Kingman, the
we'll known Hillsboro farmer, after
studying the tariff bill which has Just
been introduced in congress. The
statement is made in reply to a tele-
gram from The Outlook asking for his
opinion on he tariff bill as affecting
the farmer. His reply follows:
"A 10 cent duty or wheat would
reasonably protect u producers, as
the difference in price between our
wheat and the Canadian wheat for the
eight years previous to this last crop
has averaged about 10 cents. 1t is
but a fair difference due to the price
OF our land as compared with the
cheap whea producing empire of Can
ada.
Free fou will Canadian
milling without saving to our con-
sumers. n decrease consumption of
our wheat.
Any reduction on barley is indie
fensible; will benefit no class except
brewers; will be most discouraging to
our farmers who have trebled produc-
tion since repeal of the WiIson-Gor-
ma bill; increased price making it
not only profitable, but as a rotation
crop serves to maintain fertility and
consequently increased wheat produc-
ton.
Free wool at the best will be a Sc
we're blow to sheep industry, not
alone in the reduced price of wool, but
in decreased production Of mutton
which would tend to decrease the
present price Of meat. A large pro-
portion is raised on western ranges
where wool is their incentive. They
have not the grain to fatten. Mil
lions are shipped to eastern lots an
nually, adding millions to the purchase
power Of middle state farmers and mil
lions in the increased fertility Of their
soil.
while benefits through reductions
elsewhere may Offset in measure the
above, the proposed reductions on
barley and wool seem unjust. Our
10000, 900 farmers, their families and
those dependent upon them represent
one-half of our population. Curtail-
ment of their purchase power spells
corresponding loss to every interest.
The high cost of living can most GER
tainly be traced to the middle man,
through u crude system of distribu-
ton, and not to the. price the farmer
receives" ~, -" E.
