A place Of marvellous waterfalls,
snow-capped mountains and huge
rock spires, such is the Yosemite
National park.
The park includes 1000 square
miles in west central California
protected by the government as a
place where its people may spend
their vacations amid scenes OF
beauty.
The famous Yosemite valley is
only a small part of this wonder
ful tract, but contains the most
beautiful vistas in the region.
The valley was formed by glaciers
that ground their way down its
course ages ago. At this point the
earth and rock were softer than the
granite which today forms huge
walls on either side. So swiftly did
the ice In the river cut it's pathway
that many canyons leading into il
from either side were left high
above the valleys new floor.
The strains which later flowed
through these minor canyons today
tumble into the Yosemite valley in
great waterfalls. some many times
higher than Niagara.

CIarksburg Tire Company Has
Best Tire Service Station
in the City.

C%larksburg automobile owners are
very fortunate in having a strictly
modern tire repair shop in this city.
This company not only rebuilds tires
scientifically but they carry in con-
junction one OF the largest stock OF
tires and tubes carried by any retail
store in the country, excelled only by
stores Of larger cities.
Believing that the tire repair and
sales business was a line that could
be handled more satisfactorily by It
self than along with the sale and re-
pair Of automobiles in garages, the
proprietors of the C%larksburg Tire
Shop about a year ago undertook to
fill this long felt want. After leasing
a modern business room, they pro-
ceeded to equip it with the most mod
ern and up to date machinery that is
made for the repair Of tires. The
equipment consists of machinery for
repairs from the smallest pin hole In
a tube to the largest blowout or
rim cut in any size casing from a
motor cycle tire to the largest used
on heavy touring cars.
Naturally the question arises where
do they find men capable OF doing this
work, but this is soon answered by
the fact that both young men in charge
of the establishment are expert re-
pair men having obtained their *
p%erience in the factory repair shop OF
the Firestone Tire and Rubber Com
pany, at Akron, o., and have also spe-
cial arrangements with the leading tire
manufacturers to furnish extra re-
pair men for the busy seasons
All materials as well as equipment
used in this work are the best at
tainable. The company holds to the
principle that it is better to buy the
best material and make q small profit
and turn out work that Is the best,
than buy the cheaper material and
make a larger profit and turn out
work that will not stand under the
terrific grind Of the road. They also
adhere to this policy in connection
with their tire sales, buying the best
the market affords and giving their
customers one hundred cents value
for every dollar spent.
Their service is unexcelled, they
have installed at q great expense. a
large system for Initiating tires which
is done without any charge to the car
owners. They also have a service car
for the benefit Of those who are I'M
fortunate enough to have tire trouble
on the road. This feature, while e1-
pensive to the company, is supplied
withuot charge to the owner.
During the last month while the tire
business was slow Messrs. Garrett
and starkey have had their entire
equipment gone over by expert me-
chanics from the factory and every
thing is now in shape to handle the
large business which they are entitled
to during the coming season.

At no time in the tour was the cars
average below 500 miles a day. This
fact resulted in It's annexing all long
distance records from 1000 miles up
ward, thus adding to the laurels OF
the new endurance champion.
Sportsmanship was the chief factor
in putting an arbitrary stop to the run
when even more striking results
might have been attained. 1t is the
hope Of the Maxwell forces that other
Pacific coast distributors may emulate
the example Of the Lord Motor Car
Company, which conducted the run.
At least two other large dealers had
Informally promised to attempt to
beat the Maxwell record. These prom
ises were made early in the history
of the rum. 1t was feared that, in case
the Maxwell continued further, the re-
suit would thoroughly discourage COM
petition.
Who VIII Try Nextl
Motoring authorities nationally and
on the Pacific coast, realizing that
motor nonstop competition is now
about the only form open to stock
cars, are anxious to encourage its re-
vival in every way. Their requests
were Joined to the fact that the sales
activities of the Lord organization
demanded the attention Of the mem
bers Of the cars crew.
