YELLOWSTONE AND THE GRAND CANYON
 AUTOMOBUMMING- CALL THE MOTORIsT FROM THE SOUTH

LOS ANGELES, April 10--The northward trend of the motorist who has vacatfoned along the sunny shores of southern California has begun. Those who came here for the winter arc steadily leaving for the cooler north
 The goal for large number of the departing tourists is the Yellowstone Park, a, comfortable. pleasing trip of about 1000 miles. On the way, a short Canyon. and the motorist has taken in one of the most memorable tours he can find in this country
 What adds to the pleasantness of it all, is that no unusual preparations for the unexpected need be made. The road is wonderful all the way up, even through the desert of southern Cali fornia and Arizona and the ridge coun- try of Utah and Idaho Signs at all necessary points along the route are q great aid, and service stations are en- corntered throughout the journey.
 Leaving Los Angeles. the motorist goes east along a smooth paved boule- yard. twisting a winding trail through the Cajon Pass to the Mo5aTe desert, which now is desert in name only Extra water may be carried for the desert crossing. but many have crossed without the extra supply
 On goes the motorist. in general easterly direction. along the National old Trails. passing EaTStow lie miles from Los Angeles. and on to Ibis. where some turn north who do not care to 90 farther east 10 the Grand Canyon To see this marvel of nature means q tic- tour of 32S miles along the National old Trails to Williams and 62 miles norfhward to the Colorado

WIRE ANNOUNCES
 REMARKABLE FEAT
 IF FEDERAL TRUCK

The record of one of the most re- nlarkabie feats performed by a motor truck in Arizona has just reached Phoenix in a telegram received by the George H.. Reaben company from J. A. Pinyan Of the American Ores and Asbestos company of Globe.
 The company is operating three Federal trucks out of Globe, running to mine f3 miles from Roosevelt. The truck in question is the first one bought by the company. and has been in use for some time.
 The truck in question is one and one-half ton model, and has been mal< ing the trip to Roosevelt from Globe pounds On this particular trip it car ried .6.1a0 pounds or a 100 per cent overload, to Roosevelt, was then fer ried across one arm of the lake, and made asa13- mile haul over an IS per cent grade to the mine.
 The Federal has been making the trip up the Emile grade carrying it's 1000 pounds of freight without -eny trouble, buts when the extra 2,00o pounds were piled on it was thought there would be trouble before the des tination was reached. The officials of the company watched the trip with the closest anxiety, and when the Federal finally reached there they were so mediately wired Reuben of the feat. The trip by the way was made in 10 hours, actual time.
 So satisfactory has been the per formance Of the Federals. that the company is planning on adding several more to their fleet in operation be- tween Globe and their mine

COMPANY ID INSTALL MILLS
 TO WEAVE COTTON

A feature of the establishment of the big enterprise of the Goodyear Tire G Rubber Company of California, at Los Angeles, that has added greatly to the welcome of that company to the Pa cific coast. is the strong competition 1t offers to Japanese buyers that are endeavoring to control the California cotton market in the same manner that they now control the fish and produce markets. The erection of q gigantic cotton mill in Los Angeles, employing 1,50o workmen, to convert California cotton into fabric suitable for tire manufacture. the entry of Goodyear into the cotton lands of the Imperial valley as buyers of long staple cotton to be used in manufacturing a home product, in direct competition with Japanese buyers, whose aim is to drain the coast of it's cotton to be used in manufacturing Japanese goods, have made this company most welcome in the west.
 With the wonderful financial resouf- ces of the big tire company and the ex perience Of it's cotton growing and cot ton buying experts, there is. a feeling among westerners that the Goodyear company will play a large part in say

FAMOUS '999" RACING LAR IF LONG .AGO BROUGHT BACK TOL|FE AGAIN

SAN FRANCISCO. April 10.-An exhibit of unusual interest at the re- cent automobile show here was the once famous 1899" racing car. the champion Of the world nearly 20 years ago. the first car to cover a eircular track mile in less than a minute
 This car was really the first Ford, being designed and built in 1903 by Henry Ford and Harold Wills. Ford secured Barney Oldfield, then a pro- fessional cyclist, to drive the car.
 On the foundation laid by the 1903 and 1904 campaign of this car, both men rose to fame and fortune. Mr. Ford founded the Ford Motor company and became the worlds motor king. Nr. OIdfieid became Similarly supreme in the field of motor speed and is now also a manufacturer, being president of the Oldfield Tire company with an annual output worth many millions.
 When the Ford Oldfield partnership was dissolved, in 1905, the old speed chariot drifted to California and lay for many years forgotten in a private garage at Venice. It was discovered and bought by W. l.. Hughson,- San Francisco sportsman. and motor car merchant. who placed it in running order and is using it as a medium of publicity.
 As an example of early design, the "999" is unquestionably an interesting exhibit It has no crankcase, no mag ileto no carburetor, no transmission and no differential. Its four immense cylinders dwarf those of modern cars. But it is as fast as ever and. on straightaway would be able to give an excellent account of itself for from one to five miles, against even the light, handsome speedsters of the present dav

JOHN ?. COATES
 TIRE. HOUSE ID
 FEATURE HOODS

The John r. Coates Tire house Is rapidly nearing completion Asso- ciated with Mir Coates in this organ zation are our other old timers, Cal
 Messner and Frank Headlee. sales manager for Mir. Messner for several years
 The entire corner building at Cen tral and Van Buren has been recon structed for the purpose and when fin ished will be the largest and most completely equipped tire service house in the state, if not in the entire south- west. one Of the big features of. the Coates Tire house is it's indoor service plan. Here one drives right into the store through it's Central avenue en- trance, out of the heat or rain as the case may be, into the shade or onto d dry floor and be perfectly comfortable while ones needs are being cared for That Phoenix has been in need Of just such a service as this is Mir. Coates opinion.
 When plans for this original store were completed very important deci- sion with respect to q worthy tire had to be made With some dozens of makes to chose from this was no easy task. but a study Of the elements and methods used by the various manu- fdcturers resulted in the selection of Hood tires as the line they could rec ommend and feature for the Coates Tire house.
 In both the Fl Paso- Phoenix road race held last November and local track races staged here last Februarv regular Hood stock cords came through without a nurmur. Cal Messner's two entries, the Hudson and Essex that between them won every event in local races were both equipped with Hood stock cords and every one who saw these races knows they were no loaf- ing contests as was evidenced by both the records they hung up and tbe number of tires changed. Though not special racing tires the Hood Expan- sion cords made 9 perfect score and are all still in service. Tn the El-Paso race the Dodge piloted by Armstrong held first place against the field 70 Tucson where it broke it's frame. After repairs 1t came on to Phoenix won the 25-mile event against the field. It was equipped with Hood stock cords. and returned to Fl Paso on the original air. "a perfect score.
 Inquiry into government tire reports show Hood tires to be more than 30 per cent above the highest specifica tionS for war service, and on the other side endless trains of ambu- lances depended on Hood tires to safe ly transport their human burdens. At this time the parcel post service Is largely equipped with Hoods This is the fourth consecutive year that these tires have been on the preferntial list of the postoffice department.
 These and other tests proved the superiority of Hood tires for Arisona road conditions and was therefore SC lected by the Coates Tire house as aL tire they could conscientiously recon mend. Hood tires are also being fea- tured by Cal Aessner in his new Hud- son and Essex salesrooms, corner of Fourth and Adams.

WOMAN FORD DEALER
 DOES BIC BUSINESS

Over in Leon, Iowa, is one of the Ford Motor ecompany's most interest ing dealers, Mrs NJ. F. Estes. who sells something like 300 Ford cars yearly. to say nothing of the Fordson tractors she sells. Her only regret is that the company couldn't promise her more than 300 cars this year She is said to be one of the three most successful women automobile dealers in Iowa.
 Mrs. Estes is a thorough business woman. She knows her product she knows her territory, she krsaws how to sell cars and she knows the value of business system for that is her hobby. You can't do business right without good system she declares. People don't like to wait. If man comes in and wants to know if he can get a certain part, or what his account is oP what something will cost, you've got to sbe able to tell him qnickly.
 Tn a letter to the Ford Motor com pany, the Des Moines branch manager says of Mrs. Estes: This dealer has the largest number of cars according to her population of her territory Of any dealer under this branch. Her estimate for this years is one car for every 27 people including men, women children and inmates of the poor farm And she has consistently carried a greater percentage of unified orders for immediate delivery than any other dealer we have"

APACHE TRAIL SUFFERING FOR LACK OF ATTENTION
MAXWELL MAKES SCOUTING TOUR
 OVER THE TRAIL

There are a lot of things wrong with the Apache Trail. Everyone who has ever travelled that historic highway will say there are at least seven million things wrong and each one is a bump of greater or lesser degree. Yet the fact remains that after spending g., ,8C0- 900 on constructing the road from Mesa to Roosevelt, # is going to pieces so fast 1t makes one dizzy to think about 1t.
 Just by way of getting first hand information about the trait and to arouse interest in the trip as an ideal tour for some Sunday, The Republican arranged with the R. D. Roper Motor company to send a Post War Maxwell over the road on a sort of scouting tour. The accompanying pictures (and several others) were taken as examples of the kinds Of roads and scenery there are to be found in that direction. The car made the trip out and back in one day, going we'll up on the-traii, looking over the worst stretches of road and making itself useful in general.
 In the first place the astounding thing about the whole proposition is that 1t veiiI only take comparatively few thousand dollars to put the road in first class shape. The roadbed is still good. The government spent enough money 1t to make the bed solid and permanent. All it needs is re -surfac- ing for about twenty miles. The first 35 miles up to the dam IS one Of the most wonderful rides man can imagine. Scenery without peer is to be countered. Of this 35 miles about IS miles are of such character that little attention is necessary to keep it in wonderful shape. This means that the heavy expendture-and it is not heavy when one thinks of the original cost-shouId be placed on about twenty miles of the trail.
 Think of 1t, there is the most beau tiful highway in the country, bar none. leading straight east from Mesa to Su-

GOODYEAR COMPANY INSPECTING TIRES
 WITH NEW MACHINE

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber com pany has just installed at thetr iocai branch on North Central avenue an up-to-date. tire inspection machine.
 The tire is placed in this machine on two rollers, and by means of two arms controlled by foot pedal. is spread open at the beads making it possible to detect any hidden injury to the inside of the casing.
 This machine is electrically equipped with q 75watt nitrogen lamp arranged in such 3 manner as to throw the light directly or the inside of the casing.
 The installation Of this machine en- ables the inspector to detect the varl- ous injuries which turn up in tires, showing the customer how the proper care of his tires will invariably result in greater mileage.
 This is only one of the many ways in which Goodyear is cooperating with the consumer in tire conservation.

ATHLETES
 WIN B|G TRACK MEET

In a big triangular track and field meet just held at Akron. Ohio, in which representatives -of the largest rubber companies competed, the athletes of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company have triumphed over their rivals by winning 49 points, Goodrich ranking second with 34 points and Firestone third with 16. The Goodyear athletes won , firsts, seconds and ] thirds, excelling in the 5O-yard dash, standing broad jump, two-mile run, running high jump and 50-yard hurdles.
 Field meets of this kind have now become a regular part of the athletic activities of the big Akron rubber com panies. and it is expected that when the Goodyear athletic field is established in Los Angeles. adjoining the factory at Ascot Park, field meets will be held in which athletes from the various Goodyear plants will compete, includ- ing the cotton mills at Goodyear, Conn. the cotton plantations at Phoenix.
