Until the automotiye vehicle is thought of by the public, as stranspor- tation, the traffic problem will not be solved.
 Transportation is recognized by the law w-making bodies of city, state and na- tion as necessary to the public welfare As such it is both regulated and pro- tected. Therefore anything which is considered as necessary transportation is protected by law. It's agencies must protect the public interest but, at the same time, must be protected for the good of all
 The automot;ve vehicle IS not consid' cred as transportation, generally speak. ing. It is still thought of as a we. hicIe of pleasure"
 For this reason there seems to be a common attitude that the automobile must be legislated against. Not only does it bear a taxation burden amount. ing to more than four hundred millions annually, but it has not yet been ac- corded equal rights with other interests using and crossing the roads and streets
 Time was when the roads and streets were free of anything but the horse and rider or the horse drawn vehicle In the country no rushing locomotive or speeding interurban car endangered the slower methods of transportation Dobbin ambled along, half asleep, the rider or driver giving no thought to danger at the cross roads.
 Then locomotive, interurban and street car, one by one, added to the transportation facilities of the country As transportation they were accepted (not without resistance). Today the cross road has bell or a sign or both a whistle screeches it's warning and well it is unfortunate if anyone is

AUTOMOTTVE MEN BACK GOOD ROADS Hold Midsummer Meet ing In Selma By
 July

Actively backing the good roads move ment throughout Alabama, members of the Alabama Automotive Trades asso- citation announce that a vigorous cam paign is being waged by the associa- tion with the objective of obtaining for Alabama a group of the best roads possible for the available money to be spent. .,
 A committee, headed by Hayes Tuck. CT of Tuscaloosa, has been placed in charge of this campaign and members of the committee are scattered through out the state. Following the last reg ular meeting of the association in Montgomery, in January, a delegation from the group appeared before the state highway board and urged imme- diate action on the road building pro- gram. -
 Members of the associa tion have been delegated in each county to keep in active communication with county off cials and report progress and exchange data, through the, state organization, with other county workers. Continuing their good roads activities, the associs- tion members will use that subject as the principal theme of their mid-sum- mer meeting July 21 and % in Selma.

killed at gEAde crossing. But whoever heard or read the suggestion that rail. ways and electric lines should be elimi- mated because of the thousands who are killed and injured every year?
 Then, filling demand thousands of years old. the self propelled vehicle came along. Gradually it, too, became part of the transportation of city, state and nation.
 But because. originaIly-in the very early stages O. it's development-it was the plaything of rich mans son, il has never been accepted as transporta' tion.
 Just as reasonable to say that street car, interurban and locomotive should be taken off the streets and roads in order that, once more, Dobbin could amble along at eight miles an hour with his dr;ver half asleep in the sun as to say that this new method of transportation should be eliminated. If the elimination of. the automobile would be good thing for the country by all means let us eliminate it.
 If the best interests of the country can be served by going back to the means we had for transportation of passengers and freight before the au- tomobile came, by all means let us go back.
 But to make the roads and streets entirely fool-proof let us also eliminate the street car, interurban and steam train.
 Then pedestrians will have nothing to fear-except when old Dobbin wakes up and, driven frantic by the summer flies, runs away.
 We might even eliminate the flies and prevent runaways.

COACHES ARE IN
 GREAT DEMAND
Hudson Essex Dealer Sees Preference For Closed
 Model

With over 75 per cent of their sales in coaches, both the Hudson Motor Car company and Pryor Motor company, To- cal Hudsen-Essex distributor, at tained new high all-time volumes of business in May. according to official sales and production figures just com piled.
 For both factory and distributor this was the fourth straight record-breaking month. This run of phenomenal busi- ness began with January this year and has continued successively through February, March and April. Produc- tiOn at the factory in April. it is an- nounced, was in excess of 15,000, or about 1000 more cars than were made in March, which, up to that time, had been the largest month in Hudson Essex history. Sales of Hudson and Essex cars locally have been corre- spondingly good.
 This same success obtains for Hud- son-Essex all over the country" said A. R. Pryor. According to the latest trade figures. obtained from official registrations, Hudson-Essex is now the leading 6-cylinder line of motor cars in many of the large centers of pop ulatiOn.
 ''In Michigan. which knows motor cars better than any other state. its position is assured. So great has been the demand for coaches that even the bad weather Hull in general business has not been able to halt Hudson Essex success. The coaches are not merely a fair weather success.
 The Hudson and Essex coaches have been outstandingly successful because they have been offered at economy prices. I believe the public will always respond to that appeal. when with low
 first cost it obtains quality too.

 full days, pedestrians could amble about the streets as they pleased. They could cross in the middle of the block or talk over the events of the day in tie mid dle of the street, as they pleased. How silly it sounds! And yet every days those who have much to do with moulding public opinion, law-makers and prominent men are trying to solve the traffic problem by suggesting the elimination of the automobile. Or by the regulation of automobile traffic regulation meaning to them an attempt to fit this modern method of trans partation into the scheme of things without changing anything else in the situation.

with the formation of the National Tours association, in Indianapolis, a new enterprise is added to the list oi industries allied with the automobile, ' says H. E. BisselI of Bissell Motor com pany. Touring is not new nor is tour. ing in large groups, but the idea of es. tablishing an automobile touring serv. ice which relieves the patron of every duty but gathering his personal effects and taking his assigned place in car of high quality is novel one.
 Folders have been issued by the Ma. tionaI Tours association describing its first trip which will start from Indian. apolis on June 15 of next year. This trip will cover a period of 30 days and will be approximately 5000 miles in length. Niagara Falls, the Adiron. dacks, the Maine woods, Boston, New York, Washington and Philadelphia are among the high points to be touched.
 Harvard, Yale and Princeton uni. NClcIttcS VIII Uc~VlSlltu duu dIJeT tue national capital has been left behind the tourists will ride through the Cum. berland mountains before returning to Indianapolis. 4'@
 Following this trip, at least two others will be made before the close ,f the year, one through Michigan and the Great Lakes district and another to Yellowstone Park.
 ''The manner in which the associa- tion will carry on the tours is the most novel thing about the whole business In the first place a trained driver will go with each of the 100 touring cars included in the train. Driving regula- tions will include a dead stop at each railroad crossing, to be held until a signal from regularly appointed mar, shal signals that the tracks can be crossed safely. An average of 20 miles per hour will be held during the driving time"

 The facilities for the, proper and sat isfactory painting of an automobile are especially adequate at Cruse-Crawford and only experienced men are trusted with this work. It is said that larger numher of fine cars are painted here than at any other shop.
 The Cruse Crawford manufacturing department also provides splendid serv- ice in blacksmithing, woodworking, com merclal bodies for automobiles and trucks. top work and curtains.

FRANK DE LONG IN TOWN
FROM ACROSS THE BAY

Frank belong, the popular rancher
from Fourth of July creek, was a
Seward visitor yesterday. Mr.. belong
who has a 160-acre homestead across
the bay, is making a success out of
his silver black foxes, fifteen pups
being expected to arrive in the near
future. Mr.. belong started with five
pairs of animals, and within a few
years will reap a competency. He
started in ranching about three
years ago, and has a rich piece Of
soil, raising potatoes, turnips, car
rots, rutabagas, and all crops gener-
ally raised in this vicinity. The foxes
will bring from 5000 to $500 per ami
NAL when marketed. They are kept
in pens, and have grown so tame
that recently when one escaped, it
came back and jumped into the pen
at feeding time.
Mr. belong says the winter has
been a good one at his place. Tom
O'Hara has raft of 100000 feet
ready to bring to the sawmill when
tides permit.
Harry Melville, hand logger, has
about $4,000 feet ready for the tug.
He recently was injured by a tree
striking him on the head and Shout
ders. He was crippled up but is
out again.

IT was a long, hard trip" said Lieut..
Lowell Smith, pilot of the Chicago.
We are sorry not to have stopped at
Cordova, but we are behind our sched-
ule and must avoid delays"
Inc landing of the airplanes at
Seward is an epoch in the history Of
the city. 1--WE were agreeably surpris-
ed at the excellence OF the harbor and
the steady air currents" said Major
martin.
hundreds OF the persons Witnessing
The arrival of the airships had never
seen an airplane other than in the
movies, naturally were much interest
ed in them. TO the pioneer and old
timer who came into the country in
1898, taking months to make the voy-
age made in seven hours by the air
ships, the feat seemed marvellous. Even
TO the spectator used to airships, there
was something fascinating about the
closely grouped bunch flying low down
and close to the shore line.
The flight from Sitka to Seward
was made in sunshine, rain, squalls
and snow flurries. Off ley Bay the
fleet was flying low in a snow furry
and encountering an air pocket, the
flagship, to save falling shot up steep
|, followed by planes two and three.
Plane No. 4, struck the pocket and
for time was in great peril. The
planes were forced to descend low
enough to see the surf breaking on the
beach, which was followed by the Bos-
ton, the other planes keeping the flag
plane in sight. The flying time from
Sitka to Cordova entrance was five
hours SO minutes. From Cordova en-
trance to Seward, two hours, the mach
ines being in the air seven hours and
thirty Eight minutes. Major Martin
states that in all this time his lunch
consisted Of five matted milk tablets.
The Major said that in all his expert
ence in the air the trip was without
doubt the hardest he ever experienced.
The ladies of the auxiliary sent a
representative to tn Major asking if
they could not prepare hot coffee and
lunch for the next trip and was in
formed that the squadron flyers would
be delighted to have food with them,
The ladies have gathered large Their
mos bottle and ample sandwiches for
each man in anticipation of the flight
being resumed in TIE morning.
While nearing Latouche on their
trip the planes passed over the steam
ship Starr, which saluted them with
three blasts Of the whistle Major
Martin said they could not hear the
whistle but saw the steam escaping,
and each plane dipped three times in
salute. The Starr was on her way
to Latouche with a tow, returning last
night.

Delegate Sutherland's remarks on the
fisheries, saying in part:
For several years those interested
in the Territory Of Alaska and famil-
lar with the fisheries thereof, have
been gravely concerned with the dl-
lninution in the numbers of salmon
found in the waters adjacent to Alas

urged upon Congress that unless some
conservation measures were adopted
this valuable food supply would dis

salmon.
"At the present time it is tbs
policy Of the department as one
means of control of fishing to
grant a limited number of fishing
permits within any designated
area and to exclude all others
from fishing rights therein. Your
committee does not question: the
purpose of the department in this
regard, but it has reocl ed the
unanimous and positive opinion
that this practice of granting ex
elusive fishing privileges should
cease, and in this section it IS
declared that all regulations az
thorized to be made shall be OF
general application and that no
exclusive or several rights of
fisheries shall be granted, nor
shall any citizen be denied the
right to take fish in waters where
fishing is permitted
This declaration of policy and pro
hibition of law was earnestly urged
upon the committee by Delegate
Sutherland, who declared that it had
the general support of the people Of
the Territory.
