Emery, represeutati ve of the Automobile Blue Book, upon his arrival yesterday at the Hotel Utah. Mr. Emery is compiling data for the 1917 Blue Book, and his arrival in Salt Lake City completed a 6000-mile tour. An event of unusual interest in local motoring circles was the arrival in this city of Charles M. Emery, who is mapping map-ping new routes and gathering data for the western editiou of the li)17 Automobile Auto-mobile Blue Book. Emery is accompanied accompa-nied by Emil K. Frank, his mechanician, mechani-cian, and the two in exploring new detours de-tours and mapping out new highwavs have encountered roads that could be imagined only by the most seasoned and experienced automobile tourist. The Automobile Blue Book, volume 8, for April distribution will cover the Pacific coast states from Salt Lake City west, and will give full details on trips to Yosemite and Glacier natioual parks and all other western points of interest. inter-est. Utah motorists will be gratified to learn that their request to be included with the Pacific coast division instead of the national division of the Blue Book has been complied with and that volume S, which embraces all Pacific coast information, will carry full data on highways, side trips, resorts, etc., east as far as Salt Lake City. Volume Vol-ume 7 of the Blue Book, to be issued at the same time, will carry information informa-tion from Salt Lake City eastward. One of the features of Kmery's trip to Salt Lake was the visiting of the Lake Tahoe region and mapping a new road in this locality. A new trail was also routed from Vest Gate to Stillwater, Still-water, thence to Fallon, which eliminates elimi-nates the necessity of taking the bad stretch at the dreaded Fallou sinks. Find Wonderful Road. "We came across the desert just after aft-er a rainstorm, ,J said Emery, and we j found a stretch of road from County Wells to Fish Springs that is surpassed' by no speedway in the country. To my notion it is even superior to the famous Daytonia beach in Florida as a speedway. Needless to say that I 'stepped on the throttle' of the Kissel roadster and it responded as only a KisselKar can. 'The sky's the limit' on this stretch, and for about ten miles we simply dropped through space. Why, there's not as much undulation on this perfect road as you'll find in the ordinary ordi-nary asphalt pavement." Kissel Engine Splendid. In speaking of the Blue Book, Emery explained that the publishers had arranged ar-ranged another pleasant surprise for motorists who have found this publication publi-cation indispensable in traveling, and that is the division of the Pacific southwest south-west and the Pacific northwest into two sections, which the motorist can purchase pur-chase for a nominal sum, whereas formerly for-merly the entire section hud to be purchased pur-chased at twice the cost. "Though we have just completed a 6000-mile drive with our Kissel roadster," road-ster," said Emery in speaking of the KisselKar, ' 1 the engine has not even been examined. No trouble of any kind has been encountered, except the repairing re-pairing of a puncture or two. We have found the KisselKar to be the most satisfactory sat-isfactory for our work, as we are not only sometimes required to 'show a little lit-tle speed,' but we encounter roads of the most inconceiveable impassability. which must be negotiated on our own power. The boys in the Pacific northwest north-west territory are also using a Kissel roadster, and when we get together there is always an exchange of KisselKar Kissel-Kar anecdotes that only clinch our fnith in this wonderful car." |
