CROSS ROCKIES
WITHOUT CHANGE
IN CARBUREIER

Did you, as a motorist, ever
dream of crossing the Rockies?
Here is the laconic message Of
two drivers who just accomplish
ed the feat:
The steep grades and high ele-
vations of the Rockies cleared to-
night. The two Americans did
not falter once. Was a fine test
for the Undertaking cars. and they
came through It in perfect shape. .
The above is an extract fromra
telegram sent to the American
Motors company. Indianapolfs,f by
II. /. Lewis. newspaperman, land
their sl'ecial representative in the
MISUNDERSTANDING coast tour. IN
a long night message from Glen
wood Springs, Colo, Mr.. lewis
points out the fact that these ..zvo
American Undersinng cars haze
completely upset the calculations
Of a number OF people xho
thought It impossible for thes ear
to clear the terrible rocks fand
bunkers that are found In these
mountain trails.
Another significant fact that
brought 10Y to the drivers Of the
American cars. They were among
the few to pass through the day
without experiencing carburetor
trouble. In this they were ex.
treme1y fortunate. as many Of tho
drivers found Il almost impossible
to get any adjustment of their car
buretors that would enable them
to climb the steep grades.

time after time without diminish
ing speed. Although hardly COM
peting with the heavier racers, it
gained instant popularity by its
untiring whirl about the course.
During the many laps of the long
race the Hudson stopped only once
for oil and gas and did not have
a single breakdown from start to
finish. The time made by the lit.
tie car was taken officially by five
stop-watches held by officials Of
the race but cannot be officially
recorded in the annals of motor
racing because it was not record
ed by an electric timer of the
American Automobile association,
Accompanied by his mechani-
clan. Irl Dowd. Hanson will leave
for Portland In the Hudson at
once. He will make the south
ward trip leisurely and will tune
up his car. in the Rose city before
starting on the test races to Sc
attic.
There has been keen competi-
ton over the time between Port
land and the Sound. Seattle and
Tacoma motoristA have run over
the course several times in en-
deavor to bring the prize to their
home city, and the fact that the
annual trophy is now held in Sa-
attic adds further local interest
to Hanson's attempt.
His time will be taken by sew
eral stop-watches, the exact sec
ond of his leaving Portland to be
wired to the judges of the finish
at Seattle. The car will not be
seen in Tacoma by many persons.
1t may avoid the city entirely,
looping around it. In order to
get advantage Of the better roads,
however, Hanson believes he will
come through the city by way of
Jefferson avenue. gath street and
Puyallup avenue. He will hold
his car in check through Tacoma
in order to avoid any possibility of
accident or arrest and promised
today that he would break no
speed limits while on the city

600. the size of the company's
output.
OF course the garage wouldn't
have to be any higher for 2O0,-
600 cars than it would for one
car, so the height of this mon
strous building would be nine
feet.
Reducing its dimensions to
miles, the building would be ap-
proximately 1854 IL miles long
and slightly more than 800 miles
wide.
Providing the supports of the
building were strong enough tc
hold the weight, its top would
make an ideal roof garden where
might congregate to sip cool
drinks on hot evenings the entire
population of the city of New
York, or used for a sterner pur-
pose. a large army would find
ample room for maneuvering.

Having won third money in Ia
coma's big Inter-City race and
fifth place in the big Montamara-
thon race. Tacoma's little Hudson
racer, completely built and as
sembled at the Pacific Car COM
pany garage, will next week at
tempt to lower the racing time
between Portland and Seattle.
G. N. Hanson. well known in
Tacoma for years as taxi driver,
who drove the tiny racer to near
victory in the biggest road races
of the Pacific coast last month,
believes he can cut down all pre-
vious records for the grilling test
between the Willamette river and
Elliott bay and secure for his car
the Chanclor and Lyon trophy Of
fered in Seattle.
The date of the speed tcst will
probably not be known until after
it has been run. Several town
marshals and village constables
along the Pacific Highway have
shown marvellous zeal recently In
putting a sudden stop to such con-
tests. Although racers who have
already made this road test have
shown caution in passing through
small towns, the village officers
have threatened to cage all speed
ers on the highway.
Hanson expects to start from
Portland early some morning of
next week. He hopes to pass
through most of the smaller towns
before the constables have waxen-
ed from their slumbers. The
Chanclpr and Lyon trophy is now
held by an American UndersIung
OF Seattle, which made the dis
lance between the two cities last
summer in 6.31:00.
The little Hudson's great ex-
hibition during the Montamara
races has won much applause both
for the car and for the young
mechanic who built 1t. Hanson
won third prize from the Inter-
City race in 1:51:16. In the $50
mile grind of the Montamarathon
the little car sped about the track

Were the Ford Motor company to

sULZER PLEDGES HIMSELF
 TO WOMAN SUFFRAGE CAUSE.
Tells Suffraeette Marchers That He
 Has Always Favored It.

Albany. N. Y, Dec. 31.-The object of the walk of the suffragette army from New York to Albany was accom- plished today when, after General Rosalie Gardiner Jones had placed the message in the hands of Governor elect Sulzer, he ~ledged his co-opera- ton for the cause of equal suffrage.
 The "message,'' the contents of which was kept secret until the gov ernor-elect saw it, said:
 'The suffrage hosts of the Empire State send greetings and renewed con- gratulatiOnS to Governor William SuI- ger and express the earnest hope that his administration may be distinguish ed by the speedy passage of woman suffrage amendments'
 It was signed by representatives of the various state equal suffrage organ izatiOns.
 T received this message in the spirit i in which it was sent" said MT Sulzer. AS a matter of political justice I have always favored equal suffrage for men and women, and have recommended in my message that the legislature pass, as soon as possible q woman suffrage amendment to the constitution of the state of New York. You ladies deserve a great cause that ought to be respect ed by every bO7- and receive the con sideration it merits. congratulate you on the successful outcome of your pilgrimage and assure you that in the future, as in the past, all that I can do for your cause will be done"
 MT. Sulzer said later that he had state legislature twenty years ago.
 After receiving the message" Gov ernor- elect SulzeI was photogra phed. surrounded by the army.
