The feasibility of building a rail
road from Moriarty, Torrance county
to Pennington, San Juan county, BY
way of Albuquerque, IS to he investi-
gated by an expert.
A. G. Rideway OF Chicago, former

pose. He arrived Friday morning anC

II was stated that Mr. RidgwaN
would be pleased to confer with bust.
ness men of the city and to hear what
they had to say about the amount OF
tonnage which could be depended
upon for such an enterprise. 1t is
in the business that the railroad could
get that he IS interested and it was
understood that no bonus or Other
financial assistance would interest
him.
1t is Mr. Ridgway's purpose not to
make any mystery about his business
here. His sole purpose is to investi-
gate the costs of such a road and the
amount of tonnage which would prob
ably be available.
The importance of Mr.. Ridgway'S
visit to the city cannot be exaggerated
as his findings probably will decide
whether the years-old visions of an
Albuquerque Moriarty and an Albu-
Harrington railroad will be-
come realities or remain just visions
The Pennington road would make

SPLENDID RECORDS
MADE IN HlLL-CLlMBING
BY THE ESSEX CAR

As the Essex car is something new
here in Albuquerque, just having
made its appearance, the following
article, showing the hill-climbing
powers of the car, VIII be read with a
great deal of interest by automobile
dea 'ers and owners of cars. The ar
licle is from the san francisco
Chronicle, the records being made
the other day on the Hill streets of
San Francisco:
over the California street hills in
high gear!
This automobile test. heretofore re-
Garded as impossible as far as a four
cylinder car was concerned, was ac-
complished yesterday morning with
the new Essex. The car, IA standard
stock model, was driven by George
Harrison OF the Ii. O. Harrison Com
pany and Frank Herman, san
Francisco newspaper man, acted ns
official observer on the steep climb,
while there We're any number of in
terested motorists and pedestrians
who witnessed the successful dash up
the hills, which are among the steep
est grades in san Francisco.
First -Four Over.
Heretofore the laurels for this par
with siX-cyhnder car and later an
eight-cylinder model. II was general
~ believed that no four cylinder mo-
tor could ever be built that would
have the power and fleXibility to
make the climb in high gear,
Naturally many believed that the
Essex would be no exception, but
+. NJ. Taylor, in charge of the Essex
division of the II. O. Harrison Com
pany organization, felt confident that
the Essex, with its counter balanced
motor, could do the trick. He con-
fided his belief to George Harrison,
who had been demonstrating the Els
sex about the hills of the city since
its arrival here, and he. too, was posi-
tive that the Essex could negotiate
the climb. AS a consequence the
stunt was staged yesterday morning
and the car went over the top with
flying colors.
The start was made below the San
some street crossing. and when the
Essex hit the base of the hill at the
Ke3rny street crossing it was travel
ing at fifty-five miles an hour ac-
cording to Observer Herman. At the
! Grant avenue crossing the car was
going at fottyfive miles an hour, and
at Stockton street, after negotiating
the first of the sleeper grades, it was
going at twenty-one miles an hour.
| Here Harrison hit wet spot and his
wheels started to spin: but he got 60
ing before he lost much speed and
went over the top at the Powell
street crossing in the neighborhood of
ten miles an hour. which set mark
Cor four-cylinder ears to shoot at In
the future.
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1919-02-08

To set az rest any doubt that the
car used in the test was a strictly
stock model, Taylor had the automo'
bile editors of the San Francisco pa
pers ride in the car to the Harrison
headquarters where he took out the
rear end of the car and showed the
gear ratio to be ) Ill to /, which is
stock for the Essex line in billy terri
tory,
1--WE are Just proving to the motor
ing public that the Essex will do all
that we claim for it," said Taylor, fol-
lowing the successful climb, I'VE are
not trying for any exaggerated records
but, as in the economy run of few
days ago, when we averaged twenty
three miles to the gallon, our high
gear test of yesterday proves what
the car can do in the hands Of own
ers as we'll as with us.
This hill climb is certainly a
feather in our CAP. because it proves
that the Essex four-cylinder motor
is both powerful and flexible. and
worthy of much consideration
