Sands has “brought his little
Flanders 20 ear through’ from
Seattle, and once more it has |.
been proved that pluck and per
Severance can accomplish’ the
seemingly impossible.

When it wag reported: that: the
motorist had: started fro the| ’

|Sound city to drive his car to
| Hazelton, hardly a man in’ the

interior thought the trip could be
made, When the car was re-
ported at Fraser lake, where: the
road from the south ends, it was
the general opinion that a few

days on the mountain pack trail

connecting that point with the

Bulkley road would be. sufficient)

to force the abandonment, of the
trip. A week passed, and word
was telegraphed from Burna lake
that: the car: had reached that
point... It was then evident that|:
the plucky pathfinder. would win

through, and: Hazelton prepared j.

to give him a fitting reception ont
the. completion of. his: jourtiey.

and none. the. worse, save for
mud and scratches, after a. 1281-
mile trip which is probably the
the most. strenuous ever under-
taken by any automobilist..

Mr. Sands left Seattle on Aug-
ust 28, bearing a message from
Mayor Dilling of Seattle to Gov-
ernment Agent Allison at Hazel-
ton, and completed his - -trip in
thirty sevén days, winning the
gold Challoner & Mitchell trophy
and the plaudits of the motor
world, He reports that the only]:
road along the route that is suit-

able for automobile traffic is the

government road through the

‘Cariboo district. Along. the rest

of the route the roads require
much improvement, while the
110 miles between Fort. Fraser

‘and the end of the Buikley road’

is impracticable, and he found it
necessary to turn his party of

-}four into. a road. gang, besides
‘engaging’ a couple of extra axe-

men to clear a-trail. for: the car.
‘|In many places it was necessary
to use a block and fall to nego-

ever held in Hazelton. Sixty of
the professional and business men

of the town were present, and
after discussing a Tepast: which
convinced the sceptical of the
