The objections by the citizens Of
Morris are entirely fancied. merely
because they do not understand our
proposition" Engineer Cooley said.
The plan 10 add six feet TO the height
OF the dam al Marseillcs is the point
OF misunderstanding The Morris
people figure this would food an area
OF about 1000 acres IN the vicinity OF
their city.
Perhaps this would be true If the
Marseilles dam were TO be construct

concrete permanent obstruction in

all OF the obstruction viii be removed

II is true. OF course. that when the
movable dam is in place the water al
Morris will be raised about three feet

will inundate some OF the lowlands
along the river. Some OF these will
be protected by bikes and sea walls.
Other property will be purchased out

los ANGELES HURTSAUT0T TRAVEL.
IN BOOSTING AN IMPASSABEE ROAD
Paper of That City Admits the Road Is Impossible For
Automobiles, Yet, Beca use Of Jealousy of San
Diego, Los Angeles A utomobiists Refuse to
Direct Travel Over Borderland Route

TOW Los Angeles is hurting trans
RI continental automobile travel by
Il 4 boosting the winter snowbound
route across northern Arizona by way
Of Needles is told in the Los Angeles
Times Of last Sunday. Yet, the Auto
mobile club Of Southern California, at
every opportunity, boosts that route as
against the sunny Borderland route
open and passable all the winter. The
Los Angeles automobiles ran their
race to Phoenix over that route this
year and the Los Angeles club is put
ting up money to help sign the route
through to the east in face of the
- known advantages Of the Borderland
route through southern New Mexico,
FL Paso and Arizona.
The only object on the part of Los
Angeles so far as an outsider can see,
is its selfishness in the matters The
Borderland takes the traveller from the
east first to San Diego instead of Los
Angeles and for this reason, Los An
geles has always taken a knock at any
mention Of the Borderiand. In most
things. the Los Angeles people are
broad gagged, but in this matter of au-
tOmOblle routes they are small and self
ish in the extreme, and. and in the end
are hurting the very traffic they are
seeking TO boost
Los Angeles Admits Failure.
The Los Angeles Times of last sun
day, referring to this matter, said:
Resembling a motor car only in
general appearance, but having no visi-
bic features that distinguish its make,
a 1912 touring car arrived in Los An
geles this week with a party of four
Texans, who probably will be the last
to make the run overland through Ari-
iona this winter"
Note the declaration that this partv
viii probably be the last to enter Los
Angeles over the route this winter
tourists viii be going over the Border
land all winter; in fact the best travel
Ing over the Borderland is in winter.
The road is never blocked by snow.
seldom out of commission as a result
Of rain, the temperature is never un-
comfortable and travelling is possible
all the time. In face of this and the
admission that the northern Arizona
Needles route is impossible. it is a safe
bet that no autOmobilist will be directed
out Of Los Angeles over the Borderland
or urged to come from the east over
this route.
An impossible Trip.
Continuing, the Los Angeles paper
says:
''B. L. Hayward, c. n. Thomson r.
X. Barrett and W. L. Durant made up
the party. They are all citizens Of
Houston, Tex. They came to southern
California for a months outing, but.
as it took them almost three weeks to
get out here, they probably will re-
main longer.

C. H Warner, its inventor. Fred J.
Wagner, veteran starter, handled the
flag for the race and the presence Of
such expert officials as Warner and
Wagner gives the event an unusual
standing.
Six San Diego girls were employed
in recording the laps of the cars and
other race data. Stop watches were
used in catching the time, so that with
the checks to be employed there was
little chance for errors being made.

time, after the carburetor had been

It is useless for anyone to think
even of driving between here and

say it is absolutely impossible, but I

running with such great speed as to

concrete spans had been put in last
summer the floods could not move the
concrete but washed out a new chan

repairs it will be necessary to build
an additional span or put in long earth
approaches.

MICHIGAN FIGURES

Secretary Of state Martindale has
compiled figures showing the growth
in the number of motor cars in Aichi-
gan since 1909. In 1914 nearly seven
times as many licenses were issued by
the state as in 1909. Following are the
figures: 1909, Ills; 1910, $1,000; 1911.

Now is The Time
To Get Your Overland

rTODAY motoring is popular
the year around.
The old fallacy of not get
ing your new car before spring is
a thing of the past.
In fact motoring right now is
far more beneficial and much bet
ter sport.
So get that notion out of your
head--make up your mind to get
a car now-and listen to why it
should be an Overland.
Price considered, the Over
land has greater value than any
other car in the world.
That's a big statement butt
nevertheless, a fact.
To begin with, the Overland
has the high tension magnetic
the most dependable and uni
form system of ignition. Many
cars have only the cheaper battery
ignition.

fleet machine especially for the exposi-
ton race
WEIGH is one of the veterans of auto
racing. Several years ago he teamed
with Herb Lyle in driving POpe-TO-
ledO cars, the pair being known as the
Gold Dust Twins"
Electric Timing Device.
Giving the race a distinctive feature
is the use of the Warner electrical tim
ing device. This instrument is the one
which has been in use at the Indian
apolis speedway where it-haS recorded
the fastest cars in the world in the IA
nous 500 mile events. 1t is in charge Of

It has larger tires than many
cars of our price. They are 81
inch X 4 inch all around.
Then therei the simple driving
arrangement. All electric control
buttons are located on the steering
column. On many cars the con-
troll buttons are located on the
dash which is unhandy and often
mighty inconvenient.
In bad weather the Overland
can be made just about as COM
Portable, coy and snug as a closed
car. The side curtains fit perfect
ly and give complete protection
from draughtS, rain or snow.
The list of Overland advant-
ages is lOng-tOO long to give here.
Our dealer will gladly explain
and demonstrate everything.
Remember-now is the time
for motoring.
Buy an Overland and save
money.

TIME IN
SAN DIEGO RACE
Tryouts of Cars for Today's
Race Brought Good Re
suits; the Entrants

San Diego, Cal, Jan. 9.-In a pande-
monium of speed and thrills, accom-
panied by the roar Ofmotors and plaud-
its of big crowds, practice trials FOR
the exposition road race. which is being
run today have been in progress for
more than a week
Practice had not been under way long
before a keen rivalry sprang up be-
tween Jack Callaghan and Arthur
Klein. Callaghan took his DueSenberg
racer over the course at a Go mile an
hour average. This was a teaser for
Klein and he went ont in his King and
turned q lap at a speed of 81 miles.
Then Callaghan came back and jumped
his speed well over the 20 mark.
While Callaghan and Klein were
fighting for pre-raCe attention other
drivers were mastering the contour
heated roads of the course. There is
a purse Of $4,000 at the end Of the race
of 3O5.S2 miles, but to get some part of
this the speed demons knew they must
be well acquainted with the course and
that their cars must have the speed.

JOE AND BILL HAVE
 4 MARROW ESCAPE

Lawson Nawe. Ina Wilson. the popular fuel agent of the White Pass, sustained a nerve-racklng shock a few days ago. Joe was on the way down the river in a small craft, and put ashore during the dark and foggy hours, to get a sleep. During the dead hours Joe was awakened with a horrible snapring of brush and smashing Or trees. IL occurred once, then again, and again, and through mCst of the night. Bill McAdam also was along and likewise was in a great state of perturbation.
