MOTOR TRUCKS IN USE
FOR TRANSPORTATION
The San Francisco Examiner or
October 6 has a highly interesting
account of a test of auto trucks, car
rying freight from San Francisco to
San Jose. The Examiner article will
prove of unusual Interest here in
Tiew of the fact that Josephine coun
ty Ib now planning an auto truck
road to connect with the sea.
1 1' San Franclhci. paper yiyp? the
following:
proved the ability of the contesting
trucks to cover a great deal of terri
tory during one day.
The lighter trucks, such as the
Reo, Buick, small White, Grabowsky,
and Franklin maintained an unusual
ly fast schedule and created a great
deal of interest by the scores they
made. The contest between the
Brush and the small Indian delivery
van was unusually Interesting as It
showed what the lighter style deliv
ery wagons and vans are capable of
when fast and strenuous travel are
required.
By Stuart Gayness.
As a demonstration of the adapta
bility and advantages of motor
trucks as a means of transportation
for merchandise through the country,
the first day's trial of the Examin
er's reliability contest proved one of
tne most Important events held In the
west.
Covering practically 100 miles
over the average country roads, the
large number of contestants in the
two daytt" test made a rC!ua;kable
ehnwii's end proved beyoid question
that Krtor driven vehicles ar quick
er, theater and more sa: 'r.wtory
than any other means of freight
transportation.
Motor trucks carrying from 500
pounds to five tons made the trip
from this city to San Jose and re
turn In fast time, the five-ton trucks
averaging over 11 miles an hour,
while the lighter class of vehicles
ran over the course at the rate of 20
miles an hour. In fact, the speed of
the trucks, Including all sizes and
styles, was one of the surprises of
the trip.
Quicker Than Knilroiid.
The possibilities of motor trucks
In delivering merchandise from cities
to Interior points was proven when
the contestants In the trip yester
day carried their full loads and made
the distance between Oakland and
San Jose at 20 miles an hour. This
Is quicker than railroad or express,
and with the other advantages of not
. having to reload or reshlp, this meth
od of delivering merchandise will
undoubtedly have a rapid growth
with the merchants around the bay.
With few penalizations as a re
sult of the first day's trtp, the trucks
returned to San Francisco early In
the afternoon. The returning ma
chines made fast time up from San
Jose, notwithstanding the rough
roads between San Mateo and this
. cjty, Th.pcjjaUjaU.ina were all of a
minor character, such as a broken
spring hanccr. broken gas line, stop
ping outside of control to take on wa
ter or repairing lpaks In pnsollne
tanks.
Fuel Consumption Lnw.
All of the trucks showed a remark
ably low consumption of fuel for the
test, thereby demonstrating that lon
distance haulim? can be done at
small expense. The Speedwell four
ton truck, driven by II. .T. Cordon,
made the entire trip with an average
of seven miles to the gallon of gaso
line. The small Hnish delivery wag
on made the distance on three and
one-half t;nllons of gasoline. The
Brush also made the run around the
bay In five hours and 10 minutes.
I,. V. T.ynrh, distributor of the
Speedwell trucks. Is enthusiastic ov
er the performance of his truck, a
new machine which had not been In
service previous to the content.
William Simmon, driver of a White
truck, had the honor of making the
fastest trip from Oakland to San Jose,
covering the distance In 1 hour and
62 minutes. The time made by Sim
mon, with his truck heavily I.r-ded,
was better than the time made by
Oakland and San Jose.
Test a Severe One.
The schedule for all classes of the
trucks proved fast enough to make
the trip an unusually severe one,
nd the result of the time made
Ileavy Tracks Well Handled.
In strong contrast to the speed of
most of the light type of trucks was
the showing of the big five-ton White
trucks and the three-ton Packard,
entered by Ferryman and Phillips,
Henry Malchart and W. K. Beagle,
drivers of the White trucks, and
Phillips drove a careful test, send
ing their machines along the roads
at about eleven miles an hour, and
using good Judgment In the opera
tion of their machines with regard
to keeping the cost per ton mile at
a low figure.
Another driver who deserves cred
it for handling his heavy truck Is
F. H. AdamB, manager of the truck
department of the Plerce-Arrow
Sales company, who was at the
wheel of the five-ton worm gear
driven Pierce truck. Adams sent the
truck, heavily loaded, around the
course wthout an effort. The fact
that the Pierce truck is the only
commercial vehicle sold here In
wnicn tne ramous English worm
gear drive Is used, attracted a great
deal of Interest to Its showing.
Make Perfect Scores.
The three-ton Gramm truck, enter
ed by Paul Klelber, made the first
day's trip In perfect condition, and
Is considered a strong competitor for
the honors In Its class. The Gramm
Is an unusually powerful truck, and
has a great many victories to Its
credit In eastern contests.
The Federal and Kelly trucks
made fast trips, with clean scores
H. C. Nichols of the truck depart
ment of the Standard Motor Car
company had charge of the Federal
and reported at each control ahead
of the schedule.
The trucks had no trouble with
their heavy loads, all of the ma
chines having their loads placed so
that there would be little moving
on rough roads.
Nine of the trucks were equipped
with Diamond tires all five Whites-",
the Packard, the Brush and the
Lewis. Thft Lewis car used Mono
gram oil, while the White, Reliance,
Grnmm and Indian used Polarrlne.

FOREST HOMESTEADERS
NOT TO PAY FOR SURVEY
Settlers on national forests under
the act of June 11, 1906, will no
longer have to pay for a survey, as
they have bad to in the past on un
surveyed lands, when the claim goes
to patent. This relieves many set
tlers under the act commonly known
as the forest homestead law, from
burdensome expenses. Relief from
this burden has been brought about
by an agreement between the secre
tary of the interior and the secre
tary of agriculture, whereby surveys
made by employes of the forest ser
vice will be under the supervision of
the surveyor general so that they
can be accepted by the general land
office as final.
Hitherto it has been necessary to
make two surveys. Under the terms
of the forest homestead law, national
forest land can not be opened to set
tlement unless the secretary of agri
culture has recommended to the sec
retary of the Interior that it be list
ed for settlement; and listing la not
possible until a survey has been
made. The secretary of agriculture
has no authority to list any land un
less an examination has shown that
the land is more suitable for agri
culture that for forest purposes. So
when land is applied for. employes
of the department of agriculture
are sent to ascertain Its character,
and at the same time make a sur
vey of It by metes and bounds If a
survey is necessary.
This survey, however, could not
be accepted by the land department
as a basis for patent, because only
surveys under the supervision of the
surveyor general can, under the law,
be accepted as a basis for passing
title. In consequence, under the pro
cedure provided for when patent Is
sought to unsurveyed lands, the set
tler on land within a uatlonal for
est has had to pay for a second sur
vey. This has been felt to be espec
ially hard because It hns subjected
settlers on national forests to an' ex
pense which settlers on surveyed pub
lic lands do not have to bear. Since
It merely duplicated the work of tne
first survey, there seemed no reason
why this first survey might not an
swer both for listing the land and
for patenting It. '
