Thrills followed thrills as speeding automobiles shot around the
course of the Ingleside Raee Course, om April 24th, In the secoud and
final day events of the successful meet promoted by the members of
Islam Temple of the Mystic Shrine. , .
f Thehonors of the day were divided between Barney Oldfleld. with
, bis 200 horsepower Bena machine, and C O. King, with his Maxwell
' 20 horsepower stock car. Oldfleld lowered his previous record of one
mile to 51 6-6, which la a new coast record for the circular track.
With the exception of this performance, Oldfleld had to take second
place In the list of racing honors, as the world's champion met defeat
in both, the five and fifteen mile handicap events, and In both races
King and his Maxwell were the victors. In fact, King proved the
surprise of the meet, driving all of his races with much Judgment and
taking the turns with his car as close to the fence as did Oldfleld. In
the five mile handicap, Oldfleld drove his Knox racer to the utmost,
but the handicap was too strong and he could not get the lead away
from King. Not only In the handicap events did King and his Max
well prove stars of the first order, but In one of the first events of the
day, the five mile race for cars costing from $1200 to $1600, which was
one of the bestmatches of the meet.
The time for the five mile handicap was as follows: Maxwell,
King, 4.40.30; Oakland, Nelson, 4.48.25; Chalmers, West, 4.49.30; Auto
Car , finished fourth, and the Knox car, Barney Oldfleld driving, fifth.
In the event number eight, ten miles free-for-all handicap, King
and his Maxwell again were the winners, the Maxwell's time, being
; H9.30.

In a booklet lBSued by, the Forestry

r-Kgln of fires through carele-ia camp
ers. He continues ?
'If this stupendous disaster should
threaten to reoccur the following
j ear and . every year therealtar ln-
d''nltely; annually taking slrty-80en
m:?lIon dollars from the earoingi ff
people, diminishing their 'nve.td
wraith and paralyzing thei tndjs
trles, 'the situation would be unbear
able. It would dominate the minds,
of men. women and children. Art
e.'se would be forgotten In their prep
aration for defense.'
'But the preparation would bj made
end the1 peril successfully averted.
Sensational threats leap swiftly Into
the public mind ;. and Inspire defen
sive action. There is a far greatre men
ace to the commonwealth in attacks
which', compel no attention until the.
damage is done; .

stroyed would bring forty ml1! on dol
l;iri to their inhabitants.
It Is a resource truly and reallzably
theirs. While much of the nominal
ownership has passed from romin:
::lty to private hands, the publics In
terest is almost as big as if It hadn't.
AH the owner gets out of it is the
stumpage. The people get everything
els. . '
; "These forests earn nothing unless
they are cut and shipped to the mar
kets of the world. Almost all the
price received for them goes to pay
for labor , and supplies in the states
In which they grew. The value of
timber to the community, is the in
come procured by its manufacture.
Of this, rarely over a fifth, usually
much less, is netted by the owner.
lin every thousand feet bnrned or
wasted, the people Iiear over eighty
per cent of the loss. ,
"Even now, when the western lum
ber Industry is insignificant, to what
it will be sdon, it brings over $123,-
000,000 a year into these five states,
This Immense revenue flows through
every artery of labor, commerce and
agriculture; m the open farming
counties as well as the timbered dis
tricts..,' ; : , '
"Another dry Reason will , soon be
here. Millions upon millions of Aoh
lars which you and your, family
should have will vanish, leaving noth
ing more enduring than a pall of
smoke from Canada to the Mexican
line. Almost daily the newspapers
will chronicle fire losses which would
endow a hospital or a university or
pay your taxes for a lifetime, and
still say nothing of the direct conse
quences to the water supply, to the
young growth upon which the future
forest depends, and to countless in
dependent ludustries."
