Has a Fifty-thousand
Mile Cadillac Club

California has developed a new idea
IN organizations of motor car owners
In most instances automobile clubs
| are nonexclusive in membership so far
! as the achievement of car and owner
| is concerned, qualifications being based
on entirely different matters. The new
California idea, however, is based en-
tirely on driving records, and is con-
fined to Cadillac owners who have a
mileage of $4,000 or more.
| The idea started in the garage of
Don Lee, California distributor for the
Cadillac, when several OWNERS recently
were swapping experiences in reeling
off the miles. Nearly all had driven
| at least $4,000 miles and there were
| some who had touched the $4,000 and
100000 marks. Someone suggested
that long distance touring club be
formed and the idea met with such
favor that the Cadillac 10000 Mile
Club" was organized Immediately
There are a large number of Cad
illacs in California known to have
passed the 100,O00-mile mark, but
minimum for membership qualif1ca-
ton in order to admit those who have
been driving only two or three years
Perhaps a dozen men qualified as
charter members, but the club proved
to be such a popular idea that the
membership grew with ggreat rapidity
and Don Lee reports that he expects
the club will have an enrolment of
1000 before the season is well ad-
vanced.
1t is probable that the club will
have several classes so that the own
ers who boast of 100000 miles can
profit by q little special distinction.
Each member of the club will carry a
small plate on the radiator of his car
which will be the badge of distinction.

The Maxwell Motor Company ana
the Carlson Motor and Truck Com

Maxwell motor infringed, have reached
an adjustment and the Carlson Com

Walter e. Flanders, president and
general manager of the Maxwell Com
pany, has taken these broad -gauged
steps through his belief that every
owner of a car made by the former
axwell-Briscoe Company should be
protected by the present Maxwell
Company. Unquestionably, owners of
the two-cylinder type of Maxwell will
greatly appreciate this service.

Harley-Davidson
Features Side-Car

That the sidecar fills a distinct
place in touring and makes possible
for the owner of a motorcycle to en-
joy the companionship of his wife or
a friend during his runs to the coun-
try or to places of interest, is the opin
ion of H. G. Heagy, of Heagy Broth
ers, at 204 North Third street, dis
tributors of Harley-Davidson motor
cycles and sidecars.
One of the things in favor of the
sidecar is the low price and small cost
of maintenance. 1t Is easily han. led
and can carry maximum load of 600
pounds plus the driver. With a side
car one may travel over highways and
byways which are closed to the auto
because of the condition of the roads.
The Harley Davidson is the latest in
sidecar construction, says Mr.. Heagy,
and he feels that 1t will appeal to
those who wish the very best. 1t is
built for hard service and has easy
riding qualities. Mr.. Heagy says the
body cannot pitch or roll" The
extra wide tenders afford protection
/ from spattering of mud and water.

tached. 1t is harmonious in finish and
considerable attention has been paid

the cushions are deep and comfortable.

For twenty-five years Richardson has been making the Alaskan trip once year, and is known to a large circle of friends in the terri tory. Three years ago he spent the summer in Sitka and Juneau, but for the last two years made his summer headquarters at Wrangell. He made his trips during the sum- mer cruises of the steamer Spokane, and on each voyage would lecture On Alaska's scenery, which he pro nounced the greatest in the world.
 Mir. Richardson was about 60 years of age. He had studios in New York and Minneapolis. His collection of Alaska paintings is worth perhaps sSOO,OOO. He lost a number of his valuable sketches when the Spokane was wrecked in Seymour Narrows three years ago.
