the electric motor car was first put on
the market on a substantial scale, said
W. r. Emerson, of Emerson & Ormer

The motogist recalls models of a

wheels at scarcely better than an over

Years ago. when the gasolene car
was struggling for recognition. statesmen
of competing electric car makers used
to make all sorts OF rash promises and
claims for their product, especially the
mileage il would make on single bat

There were reasons for this unfor-
tunate condition existing then. notably
the unimproved forms of battery and
the somewhat crude electric motors.
The battery maker would guarantee
what was considered great mileage in
those days-say, forty miles on a charge
and the battery would move the
chassis twenty-five miles and then
drop dead Then. too, il must be
borne in mind that in those days gar

did not know how to care for batteries
properly.
'Eecause OF the lack OF speed of the
early electric models, these were never

TO secure publicity to any extent, and
hence motor enthusiasts did not make
friends with them as they did with cars
which were in the public eye. such as
Vanderbilt cup winners, Glidden tour

however, the average person does not

Mountain Scenery
and Good Roads
By Houdrd D. JuIiUan in Rocky JNountafn "


The new highway now under con

paxi. in Fremont county. viii reduce
the highway distance between Canon
City and Sallda about twenty miles.
and will avoid seven miles OF very
bad road on the Copper Gulch' route
which can hardly be put in good con-
dition for ,ravel.
The new route will be a water
grade for practically the complete
distance between Canon City and
Saiida, and will be one OF the most
picturesque mountain highways in
the state. about sixty-five convicts
from the state penitentiary are ut
work on the road. under the direction
of Captain Baldwin. The construc-
tion will De pushed as rapidly as
weather conditions this winter will
permit. in the hope that It can be
available for automobile travel across
the state for practically the entire
tourist season OF 1915.
Although this road is very difficult
Of construction, owing to the heavy
bed, it is costing only abo-: s5.oCo
per mile. The expense is being
shared jointly by the state and Ere
mont county. the state bearing some
what more than one-half the burden.
Like most of the mountain TO ids
blasted from solid rock, this hign yas
will be easy to maintain. The road
bed for the most part is solid granite
and wear will be slow. II Is being
well drained. so that. with proper
care in keeping bitches open. the
cost Of maintenance will be extreme
ly light, as compared with the cost
OF maintenance for roads in other
states.
1t is only within the past half q
dozen years that the people Of '0,"-
RADIO have begun to realize the i'm
portance of good mountain highway

market. There was no thought Of
building highways for the sole pur-
pose OF bringing the matchless seen
cry Of the state within easy reach
Of the automohlllst. The expendi-
ture Of public money for such a pur-
pose under The old regime would have
been regarded as criminal waste. and
the commissioner who permitted 1t
