After reading the descriptions and speci- hcations of the two new models and con- sidering the price, one is forced to the conclusion that those who want Reos next year will have to hurry The new Rec Six Is strikingiy peauti- ful car. It Is one of the best examples of the internationally popular Sheer line" type. and the Rec designers have caught the spirit and developed this graceful type of body to a remarkable degree
 Notable among the Improvements this year is the longer wheel base CPS inches), which makes 1t full seven-passenger car, where 1t was formerly five; increase of tire sizes to Az inches; mounting of instruments on the steering post instead of on the cowl board where they former ly were; the change from worm to chain drive in the electric starter; divided front seats-heretofore feature in cars of very high price-and finally the thief-proof locking device which will bring joy to the heart of every motorist. There have been innumerabe attempts and count less patents issued upon devices Tor lock- Ing an automobile so it could not be driven away by any other than its owner. None of them, so far as we know, has been success
 On account of the unique Rec control system, the Rec engineers have found 1t possible to trebly lock the car. In other words by one operation the transmits sion is locked in neutral position; the electric starter Is locked so 1t Is inopera- tive. and floor boards are locked down so that the parts cannot be gotten at.
 This same feature is in Rec the Fifth, as are also several of the Improvements, such as instruments on the steering post; new tire holder, improved starting device and others.
 The same distinctive Rec radiator with the gracefully curved visor has been re- tained but this year the cellular section Is black instead of aluminium colored as formerly, and Is much more distinctive and in tune with the times-as are all other features of both models.
 The Birmingham Rec company, who will handle the Rec automobile here, expect to get a shipment of the 191o cars the latter part of this week. J. P. Wright Is manager of the company, and will make special feature of giv- ing service to Rec owners.
 Mir. Wright said yesterday that they were expecting to receive a shipment of five touring cars, three of which will be the four r-cylindered, five-pas- senger type and two of which will be of six cylinders, with seven n-passen- ger carrying capacity. The company also will get one three fourths- ton truck and one two-ton truck, and a large stock of parts It will be part of the company's policy to be able to supply all parts of the Rec cars to owners, and these parts will be car ried in stock, in order to prevent any delay whatsoever.
 The territory of the Birmingham Rec company comprises of 10 counties ad- joining Jefferson, which is larger ter ritory than ever before was given to Reo agent in Alabama. The location of the company's salesrooms is one of the best in Birmingham-at the cor ner of Avenue B and Twenty first street, where every automobile trav- cling north or south will be obliged to pass.

which considering the roads. constitutes a record.
 MT Arnold said the roads in Michigan were in fairly good condition. The roads in Kentucky, he said, were excellent, and it was in the Bourbon state that he had smoothest sailing. The worst roads he encountered were in Alabama, and the worst in Alabama was the stretch be- tween Birmingham and Huntsville, with the exception of the few miles from Bir- mingham to the Jefferson county line. The Jefferson county roads, MT. Arnold found in excellent condition, and he had no complaint on them. But for other parts of the state he gave it as his opin- ion that they were the worst roads in the country.

Charles D. Garfield, special de
 uty collector of customs, who know the bay well, stated today that the
 is at the head of the bay a very narrow passage leading into lagoon which can be entered only :

 not visible from the bay on account of the trees growing on the reef which guards the lagoon. It woulc have been easily possible for small boat to go through Dry Straits and across the Stickine river flats direct to Wrangell by q short cut instead of through the usual Wrangell Mar rows Passage. On the other hant if Plunket had only skiff to save himself with the natural thing to do would have been to go to Peters burg, which is a great deal nearer.
 Another feature of the matter which arouses suspicion is the re- port made to the customs office of the burning of the boat. No wreck report was filed by Capt. Plunkett. The license of the Lue was for waried with this letter, but instead of sending them both to the Wran- .gell office, where Plunkett's alleged letter stated he was at the time writing, both were sent to Juneau. Mir. Garfield is of the opinion that 9 man of Capt. 'Plunkett's experience with boats and customs office re- quirements would have filled out the formal wreck report blank and sent that to the office instead of 8. badly typewriter letter.

BERRIES AND
 VEGETABLES

There IS hardly anything in the line of vegetables or berries that cannot be raised in Skagway, pro yided proper attention is given. At the beautiful home place of MT. and Mrs. ". c. Mckenzie, on Eighteenth and State streets, there is n strawberry bed in which the vines are of luXuriant growth and in full bearing, and a lot of cu- cumber vines that for rankneSs of growth and prolificness cannot be exceIIed in any garden we have ever seen. For the past nine years the McNenzies have raised all the cu- cumbers they needed themselves, have freQuntly supplied their neigh bors with the surplus, and put up enough pickles each summer to run them until the following season. Also at the place of MT. and Mrs. w. T. Myrick on west Eighth street there is a bed of strawberries with vines of wonderful growth and in full bearing, the berries from which are fully equal in size and flavor to the ones grown in the now fla mous Haines district.

Hear Maud Powell Play
on Her Famous Old Violin

Maud Powell. one of the real great
violinists of the world, who will play
in Harrisburg in Easter week, pos
sesses an interesting old violin which
players and lovers of old instruments
will be glad to learn about. 1t is q
genuine Johannes Baptiste Guadagnini,
and in her opinion is the fiddle for
this country and the fiddle for her
work. 1t is in perfect preservation,
and it does not seem to be affected by
the atmosphere of either steam heated
trains or of zero weather.
Nine. Powell has used it almost con-
stantly since 1908 and proclaims 1t
most admirable concert instrument.
Before she got 1t 1t had been in Cali
fornia in a trunk for over seventy
years. 1t has a remarkably strong
tone, capable of every possible degree
of shading. and it's responsive qualities
are absolutely perfect throughout its
every string, position and register.
Maud Powell will appear in joint
recital with Evan Williams, Americas
greatest concert tenor, in Chestnut
Street Auditorium, Thursday evening,
April s.
