Charles B. Arthur Drives a
Stoddard-Dayton Over
Very Bad Roads.
After driving his Stoddard-Dayton
touring car a distance of 1,865 miles on
running time of exactly 84tt hours,
Charles B. Arthur of Portland haa
reached Los Angeles, says the Times, i
"With him was hla mother, Mrs. J. M.
Arthur, her maid and ii. W. Reed. Tha
Portlander left their home IS davs ago
for the long tour, and reached Los An
geles without an accident, and wlth.no
trouble except one puncture. I
v The trip is remarkable because' the
party three times lost its way and trav-.
ersed some of the worst roads in Ore
gon and California. Over miles and
miles of territory which is deep with
dust and almost ltnpaasable because of
' the chuck-holes, the trim Stoddard was
sent. At times , the car sped along at
. 4S, and even SO miles an hour. When
time was lost on the wrong road Arthur
tried to make up his loss by sending his
touring car at greater speed along the
country highways. . '.!
-iV- Started Ootobes 8.
Starting early on" the morning of Oc
tober 3 Arthur . drove to Albany the
first day: On Aha day following he lost
the Toad and .finally reached Cottage
Grove after driving, nearly 100 miles
over wretched highways. The .third
day out Myrtle Creek was reached.
' On the fourth day came the gruelling
run of the entire trip. For hours tie
car was put to a severe test by ' th
gear work necessary to cross the high
hills on the run to Grants Pass. . At
night Ashton was reached. The "car
, tmd been driven just 190 miles during
the day.
The drive to B! aeons was over' roads
which were almost Impassable, but
even with such a handicap the Stoddard
made fairly good time. The day fol
lowing it was necessary to taket a
roundabout - course In order to avoid
steep grades, but the car waa obliged to
tasa through deep sand ' which proved
o be as hard as anything tackled dur
ing the run. . The Trinity mountains
.were. crossed and Burner -wee reached
at night. The following day Redding
waa entered and on the eighth day out
the Stoddard party were at Winters
with only a short run to San Francisco
before them. s- r- !. :
t Somas Ware Sad. ''.-.
Only a brief stay1 was made !n the
Bay City, which waa reached after an
. easy t drive from Winters. The roads
were , bad in the northern part of the
state. The car stood up remarkably
during the 1 rip- and.. It was hot neces
sary to stoo for repairs anywhere. -
. After leaving Ban Francisoo Arthur
orove leisurely - to Ban Jose , ana re
mained there for the night. Oil the 'day
following. .he record. Tun of tha entire
trip was made. The Stoddard was
driven from Ban Joss to Arroyo Grande,
nine miles south: of Ban Luis Obispo,

The soore of the game played today
between tha IS rugby players front
Vancouver, B. C and the University of
California's rugby IS, does not by any
means represent the actual value of
tha playing of the teadls. Tha visit
ors so far outplayed the collegians that
a score of 10 or 11 points in their
ravor would more properly snow tne
run of the play.
The California men did not play any

It Is hard to-say. what was the prin
cipal defect in the California play.' The
backs defended as well as they did on
Wednesday, the forwards were just aa
good In the scrum and the line out,
and the kicking was 'no worse than In
the first game, but still the Berkeley
team got the worst of the gam all
through.
