1t was with profound sorrow that

Father of Borderland Trail


I pounds The usually reduces the front
tires to IS and the rear tires to 800
a car Is frequently enabled to run
through the sand with IA whereas
with hard castings the wheels would
merely spin without moving the car
forward at all. The debated tire has
q tendency to prevent sinking into the
sand.
Helping Out of Scrapes.
Mr.. Lester is preparing another ar
ticle for the Motor Age in which he
deals with the problems that confront
the motorist with respect to mud,
sand, hills, bitches, and other Difficult
ties into which all tourists occasion
ally find themselves.
Mr.. Testers advice is never to trav-
ell alone, but always to have at least
one other man along to assist in EN-.
ergenciee, Many q time, as his ex.
perience and that of others shows, a
machine al easily get out of some
difficulty with the assistance of the
extra mar In pushing.
Mr.. Lester says he has never seen
the time his Imperial engine has not
had the power to turn the wheels.
When it is impossible to get through
a mud hole, or a sand pit, in any 9TH
er way, he finds that a long piece of
good rope is an indispensable con-
trivance. With it, and a stake to
drive into the ground ahead of the
machine, stretching the rope from the
stake ahead (the distance depending
upon the length Of rope), and bring
ing the ends of the rope back and
winding. each around the hub of a
e wheel, with the extra man hold
ing the ends so as to take up the
slack as the ropes are wound over
the hubs, he has been able to get out
Of any scrape that he has ever found
himself in. II, by the time the front
end of the machine reaches the stake,
one Is not through the bad spot, the
stake is merely reset, proceeding as
before.
1t takes but a few moments to make
this adjustment, said Mr.. Lester, and
1t surpasses any rope and tackle con-
trivance for the reaon that the ma
chine pulls itself out with it's W
power, and the adjustment is easily
and quickly made.
Roadway Always Dry.
i; The B~orderland trail, said Mr.. Les.
ter, while having some bad spots, of
course, is passable at all times, un-
less possibly for a short time during
mdwinter when the snow may inter.
Ifere with travel for brief periods.
With the exception Of rainfall now
and then in the mountainous sections,
the roadway is always dry, and when
handicapped by rainfall in the region
: mentioned it is never to exceed q
very limited time. 1t is properly
ibridgeH throughout, excepting over
the Colorado river at Yuma lover
which a ferry o~perates), and a bridge
is now in course Of construction at
Yuma and will be ready for the pub.
lie by the first OF January.
Mr. Lester thinks the Borderland
trail is the ideal one for eastern tour
lists, as it is open practically during
the whole Of the year, which cannot
be said Of the more northern routes,
some OF which are not fit for travelling
over to exceed two or three months
Of the year.
