MAN ON MOTORCYCLE
ASCENDS STEEP ROAD

An ascent to the top of Multnomah
Falls, near Portland, on a scout model
motorcycle, over a tortuous trail evil
IDENTIFY never intended for self-pro-
pelling vehicle, has been accomplished
by B. w. Rice, a well known motor
cyclist of Portland. The trail which
leads to the brink of the falls, 700 feet
above the roadway. is exceedingly mar
row and in many places very slippery,
so that the handling of the handle
bars was a matter requiring the skill
of an expert.
Much difficulty was experienced in
getting around a slide of dirt and
rocks, caused by the recent heavy
rains. and at this point the rider had
some thrills, but owing to the ability
of his Goodyear tires to secure good
traction on the slippery surface BE
got around the obstruction.
On the return journey the difficult
ties were even greater than on the as
cent, and 1t was necessary to attach a
rope to the machine, the accompany
ing party holding the rope and follow
ing the motorcycle. Motorcyclists say
that this is the most difficult feat per-
formed this season and are giving
much of the credit to the Goodyear
tires used on both wheels.

PEERLESS KNOCKS II
MINUTES OFF RECORD

The Los Angeles-San Francisco road
record OF hours and 81 minutes,
made by Cadillac in 1916. was bro
ken couple OF weeks ago when n
Peerless Eight made the distance in
hours and 20 minutes.
The car which was a stock model
in every particular. except that the
Windshield had been removed, carry
ing four passengers, left San Fran
cisco at s;56 +. NJ. and arrived at los
Angeles the following morning at T:16
O'Clock.
1t was officially checked at the
starting and finishing points by the
Western Union. The new record was
under adverse conditions.
The night was cold, chilling the oc-
cupants of the car. and heavy banks
Of fog on the ridge route made it inn
possible for the driver to see far
ahead. The low temperature also had
its effect on the motor as the car
swept southwark.
The drivers who piloted the Peer
less We're Charles Basle and Horace

S Ilills, The other occupants were
$, q. BuclSner and A. Q. Terry, the
latter being the son of the vice-presi-
dent OF tho Peerless Motor Car COM
pany OF Cleveland. All were so stiff
ened by the cold that 1t was neoes-
sary to help them from their seats at
the finish.
The total mileage for the run was
+2s.2 miles The car was checked out
from the Western Union office in
Market street san Francisco, and
after traversing the distancA to the
waterfront crossed the bay to Oak
land by regular ferry. Embarking
on the ferry, crossing the bay and
disembarking occupied 40 minutes.
The route followed was by way of
Tracy. Monteca and the inland road.
Three control stations We're established
along the road TO furnish gasoline. oil,
water and hot coffee for the cars
crew.
In spite of The heavy fog that hung
upon the ridge. route, the 1s6 miles
between Bakersfield and Los Angeles
were reeled off in . hours and a.
minutes. The fog banks were first
encountered at Lebac.
The grapevine" the stretch of "S''
curves leading from the Bakersfield
road to the top of the TETON pass, was
in poor shape because of paving ops
erations, and made it necessary for
the car to proceed with caution. The
fast stage line automobiles between
Los Angeles and bakersfield make
the distance in hours and SO minutes
actual running time. as compared to
the hours A minutes by the speed
ing Peerless.
When the former record between
Los Angeles and san Francisco was
established in 1915. the run was made
from Los Angeles, with the Plaza as
the starting point The Peerless fins
ished at. Los Angeles in front of the
Union office In Springs street
further down town. The
run northward also is consideder far
more favorable for record making, be-
cause the long grade from the top of |
he TETON and half way to Bakers
'ield aids car in gaining great head
way. Running southward the Peerless
lscended this grade.

ONLY z PERCENT OF
us. ROADS SURFACED

Despite the fact that the United
States has 100000 motor driven
vehicles in operation-leading the
world in this respect-motorists will
be surprised TO learn that but IL per-
cent of roads in fhis country are sur
faced. Out of an estimated total of
.2.47S,552 miles of public rural roads,
only about 299, ,I35 are surfaced or i'm
proved.
Indiana shows the greatest percent
age of Improved highways, 42.5 per
cent Of its roads being surfaced, based
on the last available figures of 1918.
That there Is a great need for good
roads can be deduced from the in
creased tendency for long distance
hauling by motor truck and particul-
arly by the fact that 10000 employees
Of the United States Postofffce De-
partment travel 1,4g0, 900 miles daily
in delivering mail on rural routes.
With an estimated 1920 production
of 100000 automobiles, the need for
better highways is evident. That this
fact is recognized by states and muni-
cipalities is shown by estimated ap-
preparations of $60O,000,0 900 to be
spent on ,hard-surfaced roads during
the year.
In 1918 approximately 1924 miles
of roads were improved in this coun-
try and the enormous sum of $34, 974.-
600 was spent on maintenance. More
than s20,000,O00 have been spent on
the 1920 miles of Lincoln Highway be-
tween the Hudson river and San Fran
cisco in the last six years.
To stimulate the interest of both
public and states in the value of better
roads. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Company has created a new depart.
ment to be devoted entirely to this
work. 1t is in charge of G. M. Wood,
who is exceptionally well qualified for
the work. This department will
gather data on the cost of good roads,
methods Of taxation and other valu-
able information necessary before leg
islatures can frame and pass good
roads legislation.
50 great is the interest of F. A.
Seiberllng, president of the company
and former head of the Lincoln High
way Association, that the new Good
Roads Bureau will have the aid of all
Goodyear salesmen and much educa-
tional literature to help create public
sentiment toward Improvement of all
roads In the United states.
