MOTORIST PARADISE FOUND Route Said to Have Wonderful Xal UTal Advantages and Every Fa cility for Tourists Is Found . at Short Intervals. BT E. HOFER. I.OS ANGELES, July 24. (Special.) From Redding to this city the best automobile route following the State Highway that touches the coast is as follows: Miles. 126 100 51 45 2i 27 From Redding to Chlco ... Chico to Kacramento Sacramento to Stockton .. htoukton to Livermore Mvermore to Kan jobc... San Jose to Gllroy iilroy to Salinas l' .. 1 1 , . naon Pnhl.fl ... 108 Paso Robles to San Luis Obispo 30 San Luis Obispo to Santa Maria 33 Santa Maria to Los Olives 3? Jm Olives to Santa Barbara ? tanta Barbara to Los Angeles........ ljj Jteddinft to Los Angeles ' Salem to Redding bl Total mileage 1312 This mileage is computed from the maps, guidebooks and California Auto Club signs along the road. Various upeedometer records differ. Our run ning time was 77 hours; average speed 17 miles per hour; gas used 110 gal Jons, or 11.9 miles to Uie gallon. This run was made wittf type I Locomobile. Blgkwir la Splendid. We struck out upon the El Camino Real at. San Jose for Los Angeles. This king's road is being converted into a. really royal highway with state and county bond issues. On this road are most of the old missions, some in ruins. The Atascadero colany, 10 miles long and seven miles wide, is on the royal highway. The hills are being cleared and set to fruit on a truly California scale. For 10 miles avenues lead away from the Camino Real, all having Spanish names. Cream-colored mission-style houses are going -up amid gay flower beds. The Camino Real is a record of suc ceeding civilizations. Faintly along the hillsides can be traced the origi nal pack trails used by the mission aries before vehicles were brought in, the transportation system of the Span ish occupation. Next are the first roads -built by pioneers, now aban doned and grown over with sod. Then comes the first county road, then the first state road, and now the royal highway. Railroad Parallel Highway. Sometimes on one side, sometimes on the other, stretches the railroad. For 625 miles, from San Francisco to San Diego, these evidences of human enterprise parallel, thread, cross and recross, but are carved like lines of care on the brow of this Western Continent. The railroad came with the first county road and has lived and prospered in competition with the va rious highways. The Camino Real runs through an Ideal country for motoring. The suc cession of valleys and ranges of hills, the long slopes to glide down, the mountains on both sides, the sudden openings, with green fields and or chards, the groves of oaks and ever greens, make a combination pleasing to all the senses. It is a natural camping country, and nearly every motor party carries a camping outfit. The nights are agree ably cool and we only put up our top once in a week's traveling on account of heat in the afternoon. The flea is a pest of campers, but is easily avoided by having a canvas floor in your tent and picking a clean place for the night. Ideal Route to Travel. There is abundance of water and shade, ever-changing scenery, and mo tor supplies are to be had at short intervals. The signboards and guide books and garages enable one to travel with comfort, and make no mistakes as to directions or roads. Where new . roads are building are directions, "passable but dangerous," or "best temporary road." Warning signs are up at all sharp turns, rail road crossings, and "go slow" warns motorists at all curves. The California Highway Department and the automobile clubs certainly exert themselves to encourage touring. There are few accidents, and on the whole trip going down we did not see a single wreck or accident, although several abandoned cars in the moun tains tell of former disasters. Mountain Pamira Are Beautiful. From Stockton to San Luis Obispo there are a number of beautiful moun tain passes with fine grades and ex tensive views of the great California valleys. They are the Patterson Pass, between Stockton and Livermore. the Salinas Pass, dropping you almost down to tidewater, and the San Luis tJDlspo .fass. with railroad terminal. above and below. But all the grades are line. The drive from San Luis Obispo over the pass to the Pacific Ocean and along Piznlo Beach is made attractive by great flower beds of pink, scarlet and yellow, covering acres, evidently grown for seed. They extend down to the edge of the surf. Four miles beyond is Arroyo Grande, a town built on a great dry river or creek bed, a i Luiai scene or oesoiatlon. But that does not diKmav ran fornian. He goes after water, plants palms and roses, builds mission-style bungalows, paints them red, yellow and blue, and even capitalizes the name by adding "Grande"' to the desolate arroyo. Climate, sunshine, history, geograpiy, defects, obstacles, draw backs, all are capitalized, and beyond all the soil is cultivated and made to produce. . Country Famed for Literature. The Pacific Highway becomes the Camino Real, and lias literary interest from the writings of Jack London, Helen Hunt Jackson and Mary Austin. It extends for hundreds of miles over long ranges of hills covered with sun ripened yellow grasses, dotted with im mense white and liveoak trees, a single" one of which affords shade for one hundred cattle. There are wonderful descriptions of the country traversed by Camino Real In Mary Austin's book "Isldro," which perfectly carries in its pages the at mosphere, the colors and the perspec tive of these Far Western slopes of the Golden state. Cattle and horses on these hills are fat as eels. This is the bete noir of motorists in 6outhern-California that you begin to hear about after entering the state. The pass has 2300 feet elevation at the sum mit and will be done away with when the state highway is built from Los Olives via Los Cruces down the coast to Santa Barbara. It will have not over an 8 per cent grade. Scenery la Wonderful. The present road over San Marcos need have no terrors for anyone who can drive, and the view la one of the five grandest scenic panoramas be tween Portland and the City of Angela The summit is one of those glacial cataclysms, where the giant hand of nattfre seems to have made playthings of great boulders, heaping them up on the peaks of the mountains. Away to the north the eye follows the trail you come over from Santa Ynez. where you cross the river of that name on a great concrete arch bridge. On the summit the Pacific Ocean bursts on the eye with its end less expanse of blue, while below spread the orange groves and ranches about Santa Barbara. At Santa Barbara we were told that excepting three-fourths of a mile, 16 miles south of Santa Barbara, the en tire distance from that city to - Los Angeles was paved, concrete with a bitulithic wearing surface. The three fourths of a mile was to be finished July 17. the day we went over the road, but it is not opened to traffic for 15 days. All the contracts require this protection for new roads. Callfornlans Misstated Facts. The above paragraph was written while we made 20 miles in 30 minutes running into Ventura. It was written on the sayso of all the garage men at Santa Barbara. But from Ventura south for 12 miles it proved a fiction of tae imagination, for here Kve wal lowed through a rough sand and adobe road, watered in places to make it passable, with traces of oil once in a while. Up North most of us would call it a California lie 12 miles long. They all tell you the 125 miles is paved to Los Angeles and they evidently believe it. It is the work of the Southern imagination,. Inflamed by the Southern sun and the strong real , estate in stinct. Beyond Camar.lHo the unfinished con crete runs for some miles, and then comes a long grade up the mountain that is unpaved. Then we come to finished pavement again and it grows more perfect as we approach Los Angeles. The Camino Real for 20 miles is smooth as silk and lighted witi cluster lights like State street. Salem. JITNEY FARE PUZZLES PATRONS TO VANCOUVER MIST PAY EXTRA FOR FERRY TRIP. Hayden Island la End of Run, on Which Many mm Ten Persons Crowd Into Small Machines. VANCOUVER, Wash, July 24. (Spe cial.) Is a seat in a woman's lap or on a man's knees a seat, as defined by the Portland ordinance governing the operation of jitneys? The Portland Jitneys have been in operation from the beginning on the run between Vancouver and Portland. In fact, the first Jitney bus was started on this run by Vancouver men. The jitneys run from Portland to the ferry landing on Hayden Island and charge 10 cents for the ride. The ferry then takes the Jitney passengers to Van couver for 5 cents, so a person going rrom r oruand to Vancouver must pay 15 cents, notwithstanding the aign car ried by the jitneys, "Vancouver 10 cents." Sometimes it happens that three or four jitneys are filled at the frry land ing, and some sit in others' laps, so eager are they to ride in machines. As high as 10 have been crowded into ma chines intended for several less. The Portland ordinance is not effective from Hayden Island to Columbia boulevard, but from there in to the city it is. TRUMAN L BONNEY DIES PIONEER OF 1S4, AGED 80, IS SUD DENLY STRICKEN. North Plains Resident Crossed Plains In Ox Team With Parents and Was 'Widely Known In State. NORTH PLAINS. Or., July 24. (Spe cial.) Truman I Bonney, an old Ore gon pioneer, died at his home at this place Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the age of 80 years, after an Ill ness of about a week. He had been rapidly weakening under the strain of old age, but com mented upon his general health two weeks ago to friends, saying that he was then feeling better than he had for a long time. He was seized sud denly with a severe case of kidney and bladder trouble, and grew steadily worse until the end came. Truman L. Bonney was born In Ashtabula County, Ohio, February 14, 1835, and was the son of Jarius Bon ney, who, in 1845, crossed the plains by ox team to California, staying there about a year, and thence to Oregon by pack train in 1846. On coming to Oregon, Jarius Bonney took up a donation land claim of 320 ! f' '" r t 1 ' ' A i ' ' I Truman L. Bonner, an Oregon Pioneer, Who Died at. Mis Home In North Plains, Or, Tuesday. acres on French Prairie, two miles east or Hubbard, in Marion County. In 1860, Truman Bonney married Ten nessee Baker, a native of Missouri. Mr Bonney was educated in the public "tnouiB ana roiiowed the cooper s trade. Nine children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Bonney. seven of whom are yet living. Those living are: Mary E., wife of M. H. Lee. of Dpvll UV. r, . William H., of Oregon City; Jane O.. wife of Marlon Pulley, of Hubbard Or.; Lawrence, of Crabtree, Or.; Ira A., living on the old place at Hubbard. Or.; Albert "E.. of North Plains Or and Charles, of Bandon, Or. About five years ago Mr. and Mrs Bonney located with their son Albert on the old Jackson place, now owned by Joseph Mingle, where they have since lived. The body was taken by auto across country to Hubbard, where on Thurs day afternoon the funeral service was held, and conducted by Rev. John D Nisewonder. pastor of the First United Brethren Church of Portland, and buried in the cemetery near Hubbard. KIDNAPPER TELLS OF HIGHER IDEALS Idaho Cash Sheepherder Wanted "to Live in Style Denied to Wage-Earner." PHILOSOPHIES ARE STUDIED L. M. Dean Declares lie Treated Mr. Empey Well and Had No Thought oif Harming Him Implication In Any Other Crime Denied. IDAHO FALLS, Idaho. July 24. A de sire to live in a right and proper way. perchance to have a family and fill a mans proper sphere, which is imposxi ble to the wage-earner under present conditions, was the reason assigned for the kidnaping of E. A. Empey. an Idaho rancher, and the demand for $6000 ransom by Leonidas M. Dean, in a statement issued today. "The desire for these necessities of an enjoyable existence compelled my actions." said Dean, who is held in Jail charged with kidnaping. The state ment concludes: "I appeal to Mr. Empey to inform the public that I treated him with as much consideration as was possible to accomplish my object, and realize that alone foiled my plans." Other Exploits Denied. Dean denied any connection with the Yellowstone Park holdup of July 9, or with the reported plot to kidnap Presi dent Smith, of the Mormon Church. Dean was lodged in the Bonneville County Jail early today by cowboys after a hard ride to save their captive from would-be lynchers. Dean, who claims Salem, Utah, as his home, said he had a common, school education. Differing from the usual run of "bad men." whose minds have been nourished on cheap "thrillers." Dean's reading has been chiefly the works of Darwin. Huxley, Paine and Ingersoll. Continuing his story of the kidnap ing. Dean said that he had worked for Empey five years ago. Early in the Summer he was in Colorado, then ent to Bailey, Idaho. He said he had planned the kidnaping for some time. After abducting Empey at the point of a gun at his ranch, 40 miles from here. several days ago. Dean took his cap tive to a hut on Sheep Mountain, five miles from the ranch. Empey's young son was sent to notify the family that Empey would be killed unless a ran som of $6000 in gold was deposited at designated spot. The ransom waa raised yesterday and would have been paid had not Empey escaped while hia captor was asleep. Murder Thought Denied. Dean. In recounting his exploit, said: "If the money had not been deliv ered, I would not have killed Empey, but I don't know when I would have turned him loose. I treated hiin well and gave him the best of everything. I stole food from several sheep camps. and always gave Empey the best of what I had. If. the money had not been delivered and Empey had not escaped. I probably would have written another letter, repeating my demands." . Empey today was at the Long Val ley ranch,, where he took refuge after CBespinK ana . icuuinu . -cuv) i 10 search for his captor. "Dean kept me fastened to a tree with a chain and padlock." he said. "He gave me the best of food and bed ding and seemed to try to take ex cellent care of me. I thought him de mented and my captivity was more try ing on that account. I was exhausted after my escape yesterday, because I had run three miles down the moun tain." After Empey's escape, a posse of cowboys started for the place he de scribed on Sheep Mountain. They found Dean at the foot of the hill, having come down presumably In search of his late captive. HOW 1 DARKENED MY GRAY HAIR Lady Gives Simple Home Recipe That She Used to Darken Her Gray Hair. For years I tried to restore my gray hair to its natural color with the pre pared dyes and stains, but none of them gave satisfaction and they were all expensive. I finally ran onto a simple recipe which I mixed at home that gives wonderful results. I gave the recipe, which Is as follows, to a number of 'my friends, and they are all delighted with it. To 7 ozs. of water add a small box of Barbo Com pound, 1 ox. of bay rum and ox. of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drugstore at very little cost. Use every otier day until the hair becomes the required shade, then every two weeks. It will not only darken the gray hair, but removes dandruff and scalp humors, and acts as a tonic to the hair. It is not sticky or greasy, does not rub off and does not color the scalp. Adv. Summertime Stomach Troubles There are several causes of an upset stomach during hot weather, when a greater variety of food Is available to satisfy the fickle appetite. Almost un noticed, unripe or even slightly decom posed food will slip by the sentinels of taste and often turn a well-regulated stomach into such a condition as to produce the more distressing forms of Summer complaints. Since diarrhoea, cramps, dysentery, cholera morbus and even typhoid are the result of an in discriminate diet and impure drinking water. It behooves everybody to be on their guard. To easily avoid Summer complaints drink plenty of water not Ice water eat sparingly of well-cooked food, including vegetables, and before each meal and on retiring take a table spoonful of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey In an equal amount of water or milk. It favorably influences weak digestion. Go to your druggist, grocer or dealer today and get a bottle of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, take it regularly as directed.
