our enthusiasm, we know the record
of the barrier that lies between Spain
and France, but you can take the Py-
renees and stand them on top of the
historic Alps, and our Snowy Range
of the great Himalayas will push its
white-capped peaks two and three
thousand feet above them both. Near
by to the southeast nestled the for
hidden country of the little Napal,
while straight ahead to the north be-
yond the Snowy Range reposed the
secluded country of Tibet. We turned
and looked behind and there. far below
was the lake and Naini Tai like very
miniature affair. A wild mountain
goat leaped from the underbrush and
bounded over nearby ridge before
we had time to try our craftsmanship.
We were surely in Natures Great Out

HAZARDOUS TRIP
MADE ACROSS THE
ANDES MOUNTAINS
johnson Martin, in Buick,
Makes Journey Which
I'D B zen Unsuccessfully
--ttempted Many Times.

One of tho most hazardous and
difficult Journeys ever made in
an automobile was accomplished
last February when Johnson Mar
tin and his mechanic, driving a
Buick car. completed n trip across the
Andes mountains, in South America,
from Buenos Aires, Argentine, to San
tiago, Chilli.
All previol Is attempts to negotiate
this journey. both by automobile and
aeroplane had ended disastrously-
some of them fatally.
That Mr.. Martin was finally success
ful is a rema rkable tribute to his own
ability and ind omitable courage, to the
car he drove and to its equipment
The first stage of the journey led
from Buenos Aires to Mendoza in the
foot hills of the Andes.
For hundred of miles the motorists
ran through nampas grass over yard
in height with only wire fences to
guide them. The grassy plains were
dotted with swamps and marshes, in
discernible until the car stalled III
them.
Vast Deserts of Sand.
Alternating with the stretches OF
high grass were vast deserts of sand
where the going was even more diff
cult. Often 1t was necessary for Mar
tin and his mechanic to help push the
car as 1t worked its way in low gear
through mile after mile of the heavy

There were still many dangers to face,
but they found the CHILEAN roads far

Chilians were wild with admiration at
the successful accomplishment of their

mountains was interrupted by a series
of ovations and fetes in their honor

where cablegram flashed to the world

AMERICAN ROAD
CONGRESS TO Be
HELD AT ATLANTA
Mayor of Boise Asked to
Name Three Delegates to
Meeting Under Auspices
of Highway Association.

The mayor of Boise has been re-
quested by A B. Fletcher. president of
the fourth American road congress and
state highway engineer of California,
to name three delegates to attend the
sessions of the congress at Atlanta Ga,
during the week of Nov. 8.
Forty great organizations are
taking part in the congress under the
leadership of the American Highway
association and the American Automo-
bile association. In his letter to the
mayor, President Fletcher calls atten-
ton to the fact that practically every
state highway commissioner will be
present and take part in discussing the
important problems of road construc-
ton and maintenance, and that some
of the foremost men in public life will
devote their attention to the great
question of federal aid to road i'm
provement, in an endeavor to work out
a policy which may be submitted to
the congress Of the United States with
the support of the organized road
movement of America An important
move bearing upon state legislation
will be made at the session to be held
under the auspices of the American
Bar association, at which a joint COM
InlIteer appointed dC JDo 1910 congress,
will report progress in compilation and
suggested revision of state road laws.
The creation of a commission partici-
pated in by each state to work out a
revision of the road laws will be urged.
The National Civil Service Reform
league will hold an exceedingly import
ant session on the merit system in road
administration.
President Fletcher calls attention to
the exhibits to be made by the United
States government, the states and more
than a hundred of the leading manu-
facturers at the congress, which will
illustrate every known method, ma
terial and equipment for road construc-
ton and maintenance. He urges that
the city and county be officially repre-
scented, as the congress is in reality a
training school where a very great
amount of useful information can be
obtained through attendance at lectures
with leading specialists in road and
street work, and the collecting OF the
many instructive bulletins which will
be available for distribution
The headquarters of the congress are
in the Colorado building, Washington,
D. c., In charge of L S. Pennybacker,
executive secretary, and the exposition
is in charge of Charles P. Light, bust
ness manager.

use OF MOTORCYCLE
IN ACTUAL WARFARE

In the present international crisis,
when for the first time all of the new
inventions which have been conceiv-
ed for use in case of war are being
tried, out none is proving more effec-
tive than the motorcycle. Always
ready for instant use, speedy, easily
operated and reliable. the two wheel
er can carry messages more quickly
than they can be delivered in any
other way They are also very eff
cient for scout duty.
In the advance of the German army
into Belgium, 1t was motorcycle scouts
who kept the vast army in touch with
the movements of the enemy. and VINO
destroyed telegraph wires and stations
en- route. There are said to be Is
companies of cyclists in the German
army. The English regiments also
have found their motorcycle corps al
most invaluable in mobilization work.
And these corps will be taken into the
field to act as messengers and scouts.

sand.
On one occasion a peculiar accident
nearly wrecked the expedition. Martin
and his companion were alongside
helping the car through one of the
sandy stretches. Martin was steering
with one hand and pushing with the
other when he ran head-on into a
thorn bush just as the car unexpected
ly struck a patch OF smooth road
Blinded with pain. he tried to shut off
the throttle, but in the confusion he
opened it wider. The empty car jump
ed wildly ahead a short distance, then
dashed o: the road and disappeared In
a thick jungle of tangled bushes and
trees. 1t was finally located in a bat
tered condition with the radiator jam
med against huge tree
The repairs to the broken parts after
this mishap necessitated a trip of sew
eral miles. The tourists left the car
behind under a guard of natives, but
before they returned rainstorm oblit-
Grated all trace of the tracks and the
car was only located after four hours
of painstaking search.
On the trip through the mountains
the motorists faced and overcame one
ildIdIuOuS biludllOI after dHOll6T.
Often 1T was necessary to drag the
car with block and tackle up sheer
cliffs. Tortuous streams were crossed
by bouncing over hand made" fords
constructed from rocks and boulders
hurled into the swift water. Subma
rine jack work was frequently neces-
sary to extricate the car on such cross
ings.
On one occasion while following g
mule road which Rugged the side of a
giant slope they reached a right angle
turn, too sharp for the car to gel
around. On one side was the cliff; or
the other a sheer drop of 100 feet to 9
river below. The difficulty was finally
overcome by lacking up the rear oil
the car. pushing 1t sideways and ther
working it forward.
The character OF this mountain
country is well described by Martin
himself
La Cordillera calls to my mind q
picture of enormous gravel banks
boulders piled sky high; deep cuts with
roaring streams cutting them rapidly
deeper; great walls of rock split into
irregular blocks with gravel rolling out
between them; inaccessible slopes
