near Sisson, when hy mistake in the
darkness, the chauffeur took the wrong

roads. Prom a (iiarler of an hour to
half an hour was lost during tho night
at various small towns in an effort
to arouse tho people and socuro direc
tions regarding route. There WHS no

ami occasionally fog enveloped the trav

Worst Road in Oregon.
l'Vrmimlo Nelson, speaking of the trip,
silid: "The worst slri-lih of road we
have enconnlercd was Hie toll road two
miles in length on Hie Oregon side of
the Siskiyou summit. They charged
$l.."itl lor going down this per cent
grade, which was pioli.'ilily the worst
strain the machine has yet untered.
There are stretches ol this road where
the wagon ruts an- filled with short
stovo wood to prevent miring, ilist I
of regular eoldlir.iy.
Next to this Ho' worst road trav
eled was in I he I'itt river country. There
was ahoul III miles of bale rock, which
wore onr tin s down and wa.. very rough
on Hie nolo. At Sisson We got lost on
a lumber road, and wandered tin miles
out of the direct road. Then- were many
crossroads and uhl not tell the
rigid one in Hie dark, although we knew
tl'ie general direction.
Another thing Hint delayed ns was
the strong head wind wo encountered
Hi,, entire length of Hie Sacramento val
lov. Then, we wasted quite a while
in' each town walung people up so as to
secure directions. Vo reached Horn
brook ilbout .". uVlMck nnd were there
half an hour before we succeeded in
waking Hie staliini agent.
Many Koads Muddy.
"Many of Hie roads were deep with
mud. null now- of them were in very
good shaped I am satisfied thill we
could make the trip a s ml time with
in the original schedule of time. This
is Hie snine car with the same tires that
recently made l in record run from San
Francisco lo l.os Angeles of ."ilNl miles
ill 17 hours and 17 minutes. The entire
trip of a thousand miles from San Fran
cisco to l.os Angeles ami return was
made ill :t7 hours nnd '.'I minutes."
A large crowd stood about the car
during its "."i minutes' stop in Medford.
while the machine was oiled and water
oil and prepared for its northward jour
ncv. None of the party had nay sleep
ill :il! hours or more, and do not expect

Former Frisco Supervisor Out
Three More Places by Dynamite-Was
a Star Witness.
OAKLAND, Culif., May 27. Arresls
are expected today as Hie result of Hie
dynamiting nf threo unoccupied houses,
belonging to former Supervisor James
L. fliilliigher. win turned slates evi
denco ill Hie graft trials here last uiglil,
and it is intiiniitei Hull the police linvc
information which may lead to the ex
posure ofa plot of surprising character
laid against tiallaglier by liis encinies.
The explosion Inst night was Hie second
altack. (iallagher's residence having
been wrecked by dynamite ou April UlJ.
It is the belief of tile detectives tllllt
Capl. rettersea has Hie doseripl ion of a
mail who will bo brought into custody
if Hi unbilled elforls of the police of
this city. Berkeley. Al la and San
Francisco count in being ablc"to make
this apprehension. The explo'nn Vit
night was no surprise to Fetter
Hallaglier, who today is inaldm: i
ion to protect, hiiuself againit faille r
attacks, which it is found may I of
a nature more dangerous to him pe. "U
allv. The houses damaged last night
wi re owned partly by Ceorge McRae, an
architect, but tin- dynamiting unques
tionably was directed against Gallagher.
The investment in the buildings was
2-i.uiiii. and they are ill the fashionable
residence district of Oakland.
Frank MrViingh, a watchman, who
took Ho- pi: jnsl two days ago. when
his predecessor was taken ill, says that
he was silling in Hie oil shed when the
explosion look place, and asserts that
he hud made a lour ol inspeciion ,-
nil three houses within ten minutes of
the explosion which shook him on" his
seat, lie says lie s,i io. thing whatever
to lead him to suspect anything was
wrong. The hcavv charge of dynamite
was lighted in Hi" best ,d' the three
houses in such a way Hist Hie explosion ;
badlv damaged the other two houses.
A part of the mystery thai ullracts
attention todav is 'the fact that ial
higher had a deal pending by which he ,
expected to sell tile three houses today,
for and it is b.-lieved Hint Hie
dynamiters undoubtedly had infonna I
lion of t In- proposed transaction.
The explosion shook the city for,
blocks around lust night, and there was j
much excitement. Captain I'etterseii j
heard the detonation and rushed to Ho-(
scene as lo- said he knew nut Ii.itelv
nhat had happened.
The damage lo Ho- building i e.ti
muted at from ''"' '" Tl"'
building in which the dynamite was
placed was valued at '. I H"

on his opinion that seemed to treat it
rather lightly.
Mr. Smith said: "1 have not iced some
