new RECORD FOR
MT. DIABLO CLIMB
CLAIMED BY STAR

OAKLAND, Jan. 1S.-Right on
the heels of record set several
days ago up the famous slopes or
Mt. Diablo by another four cylin-
der ear, the powerful "million dol
lar motor in the Star ear has
again broken into the limelight by
clipping full minute and fifteen
seconds off the record to set a
new mark of % minutes, 5 and 3-5
seconds for the trip.
Eleven and six tenths miles of
steady climbing that reaches the
highest point in the San Francisco
bay region makes this remarkable
time record, which was officially
observed by newspaper men and au-
tomobile men, an average of appro
ximately 30 miles per hour.
The record was set in standard
touring ear under regular rules of
competition which permit of remov-
al of windshield, top, headlamps and
tenders for purposes of safety.
Several dangerous turns mark the
course, and the road is constantly
winding its way up to the sum
init, with seldom straight-away
to permit of great speed.
Because of time limitation
which does not permit of compe-
tition for sixtyday period, no
trophy award goes with the new
record which, however, will be of
ficial for the distance because Of
rs being observed. All of the reg
ular racing rules for the grade were
complied with.
Time is taken for the trip from
Il flying start at the base of the
mountain to the very summit of
80 hill, which is 1850 feet in ele-
walton. The ear was started by
\. r. Fitzpatrick, local automobile
man; observed by Gene Hainlin,
local newspaper man who rode in
the ear; and checked in at the
summit by Hainlin and Ben w.
Hammond. another well known au-
tomobile man, of Oakland.
The ear was driven by William
NJ. Weeks of Los Angeles, who, un-
der the rules of competition. is an
amateur driver.

PERFORMANCES OF ORGANIZATION
IN SUCCESSFUL FIGHT ON RATES

the Techachapi, down through 1mpe
rial Valley and on to parts in the
east, for $50 per car less than ca,
rates out of Imperial Palley. Also
seeing the vast amount of good that
can be done in the way of increas-
ing the net earning of Imperial Val
lev to the farmer by securing Il
cheaper rate of interest. Congress
provided this relief of the farmer,
and we propose to clear the way of
obstancles, and insist on having this
relief. We also want to have mu.
tual farmers fire insurance com
panies organized, in which the aver
age insurance rate has been for the
past ten years about 80 per cent of
the old line companies.
Appeal For Support
"Takiug these benefits, together
with numerous smaller items. we
think the Imperial County Farm Bu
rcau is adding materially to the net
profit of the Imperial County farm
er.
"Therefore, we appeal, not only
to every farmer in Imperial County
to support his own organization in
the interest of his own business, but
TO every business man who feels
that the prosperity of Imperial Coun-
tv depends on the prosperity of ag-
liculture in Imperial County, to
help also in supporting the Imperial
County Farm Bureau for the coming
year. in getting ont of the policy re-
ferred to by Mr.. Duel recently as
the "peanut policy of the farm
bureau, and putting it on a sound
financial basis. -

| Q. C. Webster. president of the bu'

letter to the farmers of Imperial
county:
"Since serving three years rs
president of Imperial County Farm
Bureau. | have become thrice as
enthusiastic over farm bureau ac-
complishments as | was when | was
first elected to that position, hav-
ing been in touch with the state

of Imperial Valley especially
through the activities of the utility
department.
Save $50 Per Car
"There ism any question that
every carload of lettuce that has
gone out of Imperial County would
have paid $50 more per ear freight
than they have paid: and that all
patrons of the Southern Sierras
Power company would have been
paying much higher rate for elec-
tricitv. and that we would have
been without some very beneficial
legislation, had it not been for the
activities of the State Farm Bureau
Federation.

taking Imperial County out of the

ally reducing the freight rates out

In connection with the magazine
Nation and Athenaeum.
What is more. a goodly share OF

tabulation of replies to the Daily

1891 affirmative replies, as against
1856 negatives.

personal Immortality" There were
3,178 negatives.
Other questions included the follow
ing: do you believe Jesus Christ is
divine?" to which there were 9.549
affirmative and 4.179 negative replies;
do you believe in any form of Chris
tianity?" to which there were 1886
alternatives and 2,879 negatives; do
you accept the first chapter of Genesis
as HISTORICAL" to which there were
1888 alternatives and 1922 negatives.
Thus this latter question was the
only one in which the conventional
British faith was shaken. But on the
other hand the same QUESTIONABLE,

original scripts from which the show
was built usually have been so work
ed over they are useless. There is no
definite written record of a show
which can be pruned with a pencil,
for often numbers are changed at the
last minute before opening.
The making over process involves
long rehearsals after the performance

times continuing for weeks. In fact,
a musical production is never finished,
for even though it runs year, con-
slant touching up Is done to keep
it fresh.
