CADILLAC 8 IS FIRST
OVER MOUNTAIN ROAD
Car Negotiates Grade Of 81 to
al Per Cent With Six Pas
sengers.

/ Until a Cadillac Eight recently made
the trip from Ferndale to Lily mine.
Humboldt county. Cal boasted a road
that no motor car had ever traversed.
Consequently. the whole county for n
week has been discussing the feat Of the
Cadillac In surmounting heights hitherto
impossible FOR an automobile.
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 81 to Al per
cent These and the steady upward
pull had always proved the defeat of
ambitious motor car owners. and +. w.
Wetmore was told that he could not
make the climb with his Cadillac Eight.
But Mr.. Wetmore was not deferred.
He drove the car and carried Ave other
men. the combined weight of the pas
senEcr load being 1.2i2 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. how
ever. without a single stop-much to the
qualification of all in the car.

WILL ESTABLISH HOME
FOR NEWSPAPER MEN

John Brisben Walker, who retired
t. a 6000-acre estate in Colorado after
selling the Cosmopolitan Magazine to
William Randolph Hearst in 1907, now
proposes to give a f%orty-acre tract at
Mount Morrison, Colo, to establish a
home for newspaper men. He has al
ready set aside an estate for a sum
mer home for Presidents of the United
States.
In an open letter to editors and pub
fishers, appearing in a current issue
of The Editor and Publisher, Walker
says:
"Although no profession makes
more serious demands upon the health
and vitality of its members than that
of journalism, no attempt has been
made up to this time to establish a
country home, where those who have
given their best efforts to the press
may find a retreat in event of a tenn
porary or permanent breakdown.
"After conferences with some New
York journalists, ! have determined
TO offer as a gift a site of forty acres
az Mount Morrison, in Colorado, as a
contribution toward a movement look
