j
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Lathrop Nego-'
i
tiate Passage by Auto From
Mexico to Seattle
.1. M. I.alhrop, •»I' lliis cily, who
is a north-bound passenger on
l In* Alameda, after an absence of
several months in southern Cali
fornia, arrived in Seattle, accord
ing to the Times, after a gruel
ling trip from San Diego in a
Chalmers automobile, accompaiu
i«*il by Mrs. Lathrop. Says the
Tiling:
"Hy no means was the path of
J. M. Lathrop, of Valdez, Alaska,
who drove up the roast from San
Diego in bis (Chalmers ".'10,"
strewn with roses. In company
with Mrs. Lathrop, he piloted bis
car all the way from California
to '.his rily, and his story of his
experiences oil the mad sounds
like I lie log of a pat h-llnding
parly. If there were any worse
roads than those encountered on
bis I rip I bey are not between San
I>i go and Seattle, for, the Alas
kan candidly declares, lie covered
lliem all.
"From ploughing through deep
mud to fording swollen streams
and later driving over an old
creek bed, Mr. Lathrop encoun
tered some touring conditions
that were not. conducive of pleas
ure. He started out with a de
termination that is characteristic
of the Alaskan to reach Seattle
under the power of his Chalmers,
and he succeeded.
"Mr. Lathrop is interested in
'mining properties in Alaska.
During the winter months he mo
tors in California. Instead of
shipping his machine to Seattle,
he decided to drive it up the coast.
In spile of the rough going, lie
and Mrs. Lathrop enjoyed the
trip. The car came through with
out a single accident."
