Going. Holding District Fairs. ENTHUSASTC California is enthusiastic over the Pacific Highway association's road building project and is ready and willing to enter upon tho work of pushing the construction of the coast leut: thoroughfare. This news has just been brought to the Pacific Highway Association's headquarters by N. 15. Abrams, a Seattle motorist who has just returned from a winter tour in California and Mexico. Mr. Abrntns who was accompanied by his wifo on the southern tiip; lep resented the Pacific Highway Assoc iation and boosted the cause along practically the whole length of Cali fornia. He was received well every where, and the P. II. A. project al ready well known all over the west was endorsed again and again. During the last gubernatorial elec tion in California, it was voted to make a bond issue of )?18,000,000 for road building purposes. Mr. Abrams was told upon good authority that the first use to which these funds would be put would be to build California's part of the Pacific Highway. Thero is a great deal of road con struction work now going on in Cal ifornia and especially in Southern California. There are many sti etch es of fiuo macadamized boulevards that make ideal highways. The Pa cific Highway plans to connect these links nnd make tho entire Const long road of uniform style, Californians arc heartily in favor of such a plan. Although there was a great deal of interest displayed in tho Pacific Highway in the cities, tho people in the small towns and the rural dis tricts are particularly interested in tho project. All during bis trip, Mr. Abrams was kept busy telling of the P. II. A.'s work. The Seattle motorist reported a very enjoyable trip and says that when the Pacific Highway is com pleted that thousands of tourists will undoubtedly be attracted to the loutc. VANDERBILT CUP RACEJS OFF? Donor of Cup and Associates Don't Know Whether There Will Be a Contest This Fall or Not Militia Must Patrol Course. There is going to be a number of 1911 Mitchells in town soon. Two of them are already running on the strcols and over tho valley, and there are others on the way. By tho wav. h'v you ever ridden in the 1911 Mitchell f If you haven't you have missed something well worth your while. C. W. Homes of tho Offutt & Horncss Co. has a new demonstrator on the streets these days nnd will be glad to give you a rfde any time. You will be delighted with the ease with which these cars are started. One turnover and the trick is done. The engine doesn't run away or blow up, or make a thou sand unearthly noises, but just eas ily starts to work and runs ns easy and smooth as you can imagino. Then as you ride nlong you are struck with' tho perfect workings of every part of the machinery. Note how ensy it runs, how smooth every gear works nnd with what ease it is raised over the rough places. It climbs with any car on the road, nnd is as sure and reliable as a car can be made. It is Plana are being discussed for tho formation of n fair association in this city which, if carried out, will pro vide a huge amusement park for tho city, which will embrace a raco track, tennis courts, baseball grounds and make an ideal placo for the holding of Fourth of July celebrations. It is planned to ncqulro tho block of property just beyond tho city lim its at tho end of West Jackson street and there construct a modern race track nnd lay out ball grounds. Tho distance from town is not great and It would form an Ideal placo for tho holding of district fairs. Automobile men are rallying to the assistance of those who have the mat ter in Jiand, as tho construction of a race track would givo Medford a chance to see somo splendid auto races. SPltAYIXO. C. F.

Many will re member tho time that Judge Kelly demonstrated the fact that you could fly in an Ovciland. He came out of the Nash hotel and starting up the trusty Overland which stood near by, ho simply flew over a good sized mountain which had been thrown up on main street a few days before. The judge says that he could fly to the moon in an Overland. 0. K. Tracy, the local manager of Richmond Real Estate (which by the way is selling very fast all over tho country) is tho proud jKisscssor of a new 1911 Model .III Roadster, lie was on the street for the first time Friday and one of his friends stated that he flew over to Jacktowu in very short order.

It i, iin. pobihble at present to state with any degree of authority whethor or not New York will see a Vanderbilt cup nice next fall. The donor of tho cup dot's not know and neither do the men with whom ho entrusts the running ot the event.

There cannot be an other race hold there under hibt year' conditions. With trooiw, however, 11 would be a different story.

Others, well con ceived and well intended, cost the maker as well as the buyer more than they should because they are expensive ly produced in small quantities. Our endeavor is to com bine what is effective in one plane with what is good in the other. The reason that Mitchell costs are low and Mitchell quality high is that .Mitchell Cars are built as cheaply as they can be and be built well. For grace of outline, quality of finish, and refinement of design, the new Mitchells are positively without peers in the automobile world.
