Forty-one Per Cent with Six
Passengers.

Until a Cadillac Eight recently haue
the trip from Ferndale to Lily hihe'
Humboldt County, California, boasted a
road that no motor car had ever ira
versed. Consequently. the whole county
for a week has been discussing the feat
of the Cadillac in surmountinG heights
hitherto impossible for an automoohe:
Not only are the grades between the
two points exceptionally heavy, but the
road rises steadily throughout the entire
distance. The gradient on some portions
of the road varied from thirty-seVen TO
forty-one per cent. These and the steady
upward pull had always proved the de-
feat of ambitious motor car owners. and
F. W. wetmore was told that he could
not make the climb with his Cadillac

five other men, the combined weight oil
the passenger load being l,262 pounds
One of the men in the car had been over
the road in a wagon a few days before
the motor trip. and he laughed at the
mere idea of an automobile going the
entire distance. This the Cadillac did

week or so ago. The cars encountered
some very bad roads. and the Pullman
won for itself an enviable reputation for
its remarkable performance under eN-
traordinary road conditions.
The Pullman carried five passengers on
this trip, leaving the Riggs Building
about $50 a. M. and made no stops ex-
cept at the discretion Of the driver. until
lChopawamslc Swamp was reached. Here
all the cars stopped and members OF the
party assisted in extricating two or the
cars which were ''bogged' In the mud at
this vicious stretch of the road. Chopa-
wamsic Swamp Is about midway OF the
tourney. and the remainder of the run TO
| Fredericksburg was without Incident, as
i the road Is fairly good.
| After enioying a fine dinner prepared by
the Princess Anne Hotel. the return trip
was begun. 1t was this. trip Whlch put
the Pullman to a road test. The Pull
man car and the White car decided to
make a detour and return by another
route. not to avoid the Chopawamsic sec
ton of the road. but to get an idea OF
this other road. This route Is longer
and the road is much worse. and the cars
were compelled to accomplish tasks OF
climbing steep grades and fordfng deep
streams. which seemed almost impossible
. of performance. There was also the dis.
advantage OF night-driving to contend

ed driver at the wheel. the Pullman

car in the line. being matched against
cars of exceedingly higher horsepower
and the manner in which 1t forded the

/ up to the axle. certainly deserves all thu
, admiration and compliments bestowed
upon II by members of the Inspection
