MOTORING FROM DENVER.

A message from R. II. Sloan states
that he and I. C. Graden left Den.
yer yesterday by way of Salida. They
will motor over Poncha Pass and down
thru Alamosa and Antonito. From
the San Luis valley they will go south
into New Mexico then west across
the mountains by way of TERRA ANA
rilla Then to Chama and Pagosa
where they connect up with the state
highway.
The new car purchased is Chalm-
ers roadster, light six and we pre-
sumo is one Of the best on the mar
ket today.
There is only one bad stretch OF
road on this route and that is the one
crossing the range just east of TERRA
Amarillo. This not dangerous, but has
has not bee nworlSed much and is con-
sequently rough.
In recent years several cars have
made the trip from Denver by the way
Of the south route and we presume
that Bob Sloan will have no trouble
getting thru. He goes just about
where any of the autoists can go.
