I'nluue In the annals of motortna. the
fur was conceived with the two-fold
object of demonstrating th practlca
bUtty of a cross-continent trip by the
private owners of modern motor cars
and of lending effective aid toward the
perfection of the National highway
project.
All previous transcontinental motor
trips hays been conducted with the
purpose of demonstrating the reliabili
ty and endurance qualities of tha cars.
I'sually a profew.'onsl driver has been
at the steertna- wheel and the car has
had th expert attention of skilled me
chanicians throuchoat the trip. Re
ports of these tours have alwaya con
tained accounts of Impassable roads
and other difficulties which th aver
age motorist would regard as Insur
mountable. In this tour the conditions are re
versed. It Is a txat of the ability of
the drivers rather than of tha cars,
and the drivers are the owners them
selves, most of them being prominent
business men of Philadelphia. This
phase of the tour Is emphasised by the
presence of the wives and families of
tha participants. Including" four boys,
ranrlng from 13 to 14 years of a ice.
Of equal Importance Is the other pur
pose of the trip, the acltatlon for the
completion of the National highway
from coast to coast. The projectors of
the event contend that this trip will
disclose the fact that such a roadway
Is already virtually completed: that tha
stories of severe road conditions are
tinnec.sarlly exaggerated, and that the
only requirement now necessary to
bring tha National highway to a state
of perfection Is tha hearty co-operation
of state executives. This tha tourists
hope to aid lit accomplishing.
Association Is Formed.
In anticipation of the growing popu
larltr of transcontinental "hikes.'
which la expected to reach Its height
previous to the Panama Kxpositlon in
Kan Francisco In 11S. these millionaire
tourists have chosen to spend a seven
weeks' vacation In laying out an Ideal
Itinerary for the motorists desirous of
Imitating their example.
The participants In this run have
formed an organization known aa the
posed exclusively of owners of Tremler
cars. The party Is mad up of the
following: V. H. IJpptncotl. chairman
George C Allen, president of the Re
public Trust Company, of Philadelphia,
treasurer: John Guy Monlhan. of the
Premier Motor Manufacturing Com
pany, aecretary; C. G. A. Loder. a prom
lnent druggist of Philadelphia:
I. F. E. Cook, or Philadelphia: P. TV.

tobacco growers, of I,oulsvllle. Pa.
Charles Lex. of Philadelphia; C. Fran

machine: John 11. Murphy,
rtty Commissioner of New Tork: F. K.
Miller, son of a retired banker of New
York City, and K'.lsworth fprague. of
New York City.
Accompanying the 13 cars are three
official cars. The pilot car Is driven
by Ray McNamara. famous endurance
and reliability tour driver of Glldden
tour fame. Confetti Is distributed from
this car to mark out the route for the
tourists. In the rear Is a service car
equipped to render aid to those who
get dltrhed. lose the road or encounter
any of the other difficulties which
should not be unexpected during a run
participated In solely by non-profes
slonal drivers. In addition the caravan
Includes also a motor truck, which Is
carrying the baggage and a complete
ramping outfit, consisting of cooking
Utensils and sleeping appointments.
Another Interesting feature of the
ton Is the carylng of a message from
tha Boy Scouts of the Atlantic Coast
to the Boy Scouts of the Pacific Coast.
Thla message Is In the care of a 11-year-old
boy scout, a member of the
touring party.

Experiment In 3-Ton Track.
"We determined to try the experi

purchased a two-ton vehicle, which we
have now had working for a period of
six months. It handles the greater
portion of our shipping, and Its serv
ice Is almost unlimited, as we can keep

there and making conditions very un

under our old horse and wagon system.
"Of course, we are still retaining a
number of our teams, but It is our
motor-truck that handles the major
portion of our shipping, and now that
we have It In operation and getting us
such excellent results, we would hard

We have had the runabout, which Is

keeping up either a psssenger car or

of upkeep for teams enough to handle
an equal volume of wagon-frelghtlng.
It requires but a little observation and

Fort Klamath Residents to Ask for

FORT KLAMATH, Or, July 22.
(Special.) An effort will be made by
residents of this section to have the
Klamath and Jackson County authori
ties see if the order cannot be modi
fied that was sent out by the Secre
tary of the Interior taxing all automo
biles traveling on what was formerly
a county road across the Cascades, but
now Included In Crater Lake National
Park.
Thla order was Issued by R. A. Bal
llnger. and made it compulsory for the
rangers and superintendent In the
park to collect a fee of II for all ma
chines passing through the park. $10
a season for passenger autoa, and 13
for those owning their own machines
who wished to make the trip Into the
park several times. This part of the
regulations Is not objected to. but
those who wish to cross the Cascades
from the Klamath to the Rogue River
side or vice versa, do not feel that
they should be taxed for running over
what waa a county road for years be
fore the park was established, and
for which the people paid taxes.
Though the Government keeps up this
highway inside the park, the county
keeps It in repair to the park line.
One Medford citizen who came over
the road this week refused to pay the
toll at the Government headquarters
and climbing Into his machine, drove
off against the protests of the superln
tendent. This man declares he Dald

road, being one of the contributors to
a fund to make a good road to the
park line from that side. He declares
that while he would not object to pay
Ing $1 for going through the park.
he does not believe autoists should be
held up when - they are passing
straight through and have no inten
tion of going to Crater Lake.
Citizens of Fort Klamath fear such
rules will deter travel by machine from
one side of the mountain to the other.
They villi make written protest and
forward It to the County Courts of

the matter be taken up with the Sec

CADILLAC FIRST
AUTO TO CRATER
(Klamath Chronicle. July 16, 1911.)
A Cadillac automobile was the first
auto to reach Crater Lake this season.
It was driven by C. B. Miners, and
was the Covey Motor Car Company's
Cadillac, which haa been here for some
time, showing prospective buyers Its
many fine qualities.
The Cadillac reached the rim of the
lake at 7 o'clock Thursday after hav
ing bucked big snow drifts for four
miles. It went through, over or under
from two to eight feet of snow, be
sides climbing the very steep grade to
be encountered on the last mile of
the trip. It went he entire distance
on Its own power and only overcame
some of the biggest drifts by ramming
through as far as possible, then back
ing up and taking another run at it,
some drifts being so large that it was
necessary to repeat this continually un
til through.
The nearest any other machine has
been to tha lake rim, up to the time
the Cadillac made the Journey, was
about four miles away or one mlie
above the Government headquarters.
The Cadillac has now broken the trail
and it 1 now easy to drive to within
one mile of the rim, which point is at
the bottom of the big hill last climb
in reaching the rim. From there it Is
yet soft and will be for several days,
or until the snow goes and the ground
dries out.
Mr. Miners says that those who saw
his machine bucking the drifting snow
declared it would be impossible for it
to make the rim and then classed it as
wonderful when the machine arrived
at the top of the mountain In as good
condition as at the start and less than
half a pint of water was needed to
fill the radiator, although it had been
at work 11 hours on the last mile.
Had this snow been on level ground
Instead of on a very steep grade, the
work of the Cadillac would not have
been nearly so strenuous in plowing
through It. Coming down, however,
four times the backing and ramming
process had to be used.
