MAKING the "Silvertown" Cord Tire, taught
its a few lessons in the manufacture of lighter,
cooler, more flexible and enduring FABRIC
Tires.
The "Silvertown" Tire, you know, gains its marvel
lous Speed (and the Coasting qualities that demonstrate its
Speed) primarily through having only TWO layers of
Cords, laid transversely.
Of course, these TWO layers bend more readily than
Five, Six, or Seven Layers of Fabric do (or of Cord would) .
But, we found it necessary, in order to conserve that
flexibility (in the Two-cord construction), to put a Rubber
Tread over it which was equally flexible, -equally strong,
and elastic enough to act as a sort of spring between the
Earth and the Tire-casing, when Brakes were thrown on
at stopping, or clutch thrown in at starting.
So, we had to devise practically a new kind of Rubber,
for this purpose, TWO YEARS AGO.
And this new kind of Rubber Compound now does for
GOODRICH Tires a work paralleling that done by the
wonderful Alloys of Steel and Bronzo m modern Motor Car
construction.
It multiplies Rubber Efficiency, for Tire purposes,
while decreasing its Weight, and without increasing its
Bulk, or its Cost to you.
AS we cannot yet supply half the demand for
- " Silvertown Cord Tires" (until enough manu-
J. JL factoring equipment can bo constructed) we
compromise with the Public by giving them, without addi
tional charge, the highly efficient black Silvertown Rubber
in all Goodrich FABRIC Tires for 1916.
This makes GOODRICH Fabric Tires the most Re
silient and ltesponsive-to-Power, the most Long-Lived
and Lively, of all FABRIC Tires, at ANY price, without
increasing their relative price to you.
We call thi3 new Silvertown Tread Compound by the
name and brand of "Barefoot Rubber."
Because, it CLINGS to the pavement for the same
sort of reason that your bare foot clings to a slippery floor,
while being flexible, stretchy, springy, and liqht.
TENACIOUS, resilient, enduring, this "Barefoot Rub
ber" you today get in all black-tread Goodrich Fabrio
Tires, Goodrich Motor-Cycle Tires, Goodrich Truck
Tires, Goodrich Bicycle Tires, Goodrich Rubber Boots,
Overshoes, Soles and Heels, and in none but GOODRICH
products.
Test out a pair of these moderately priced black-tread
FABRIC Tires and see what results from the mixing of
BRAINS, with Rubber.

District Attorney George Neuner,
Jr., has received from the three
Oregon representatives In congress,
letters relating to the recent memor
ial sent them from the county court
of DouglaB county. In regard to the
unpaid taxes assessed against the un
sold lands granted to the Oregon &
California Railroad Company. This
memorial which was addresesd to
congress, was printed at length In 8
recent Issue of The News.
In his reply to the district attar-'
ney, Congressman Hawley, the rep
resentative from this district, goes
into considerable detail Inthe mat
ter, and states that he has not over
looked the taxes due the counties,
but his bill, If passed, would not af
fect the situation. He stated that
the attorney general reports the,
railroad company has already recelv-
ed to. 506, 870 from the grant; of,
this sum, J 4, 338, 822 has been re-!
celved directly from , the sale of j
land, 821,678 acres having been sold.
At $2.50 per acre, the railroad !
should have received only some y2,-l
055,000. That Is, he says, the rail-;
road company has obtained a surplus,
of over $2,270,000 on sales of the;
land itself, or nearly $3,500,000 tak
ing Into consideration all receipts.
Mr. Hawley thinks that aside
from any legal questions, that this
surplus and excess receipts should
form a basis for an adjustment of
the tax question between the rail
road and the counties. The taxes
have attained to the lands in the
hands of the. railroad company, and
fare due and Jpayable as on any
other railroad property. Out of the
above amount all accrued taxes can
be paid and still leave a large sur
plus. This excess does not beong to
the government, because the govern
ment parted with its Interest In the
lands, as a proprietor, and is now
only acting in the other part of its
dual capacity as sovereign In enforc
ing the terms of a grant or trans
fer. Nor does the excess belong to
the railroad, and if they are allow
ed to retain any part of it, It "will
be an act of grace. He states that
appropriate action should be taken to
secure the payment of accrued taxes
as soon as possible. If, however,
any legislation passes under which
the government resumes title, as
under the Chamberlain bill, for In
stance, then special provision would
have to be made for the payment of
the taxes, and should be made. The
bill which Mr. Hawley Introduced in
congress on January 25th, was re
ferred to the committee oh the pub
lic lands, and ordered printed.
Congressman Slnnott, from the
second district, states that he has
filed the resolution with the com
mittee and gives the assurance that
he will bear the tax equities of
'Douglas and hor sister counties in
mind In connection with this legisla
tion. He stated that the committee
would begin hearings on the bill on
the 17th.
Congressman, McArthur, of the
third district also gives his assur
ance that he will look after the in
terests of tho counties as presented
in the memorial sent.
From the nbove It can be seen that
our county court -and district attor
ney are alive to the Interests of
Douglas county in regard to this im
portant piece of legislation, and
through the memorial sent by them
to congress have focused the atten
tion of tho committee, on the valid
ity and soundness of their conten
tion. The county court and the watch
ful district attorney are entitled to
credit Tor what they have done, and
are sill doing in this matter.

Alike Yet Entirely Different
The band stands erected at Willow Grove Park, right out
side of Philadelphia, and at another large pleasure park in
Philadelphia, are exactly alike In construction. The former
ia a complete success, the latter an absolute failure. WHY?
Because of the difference in surroundings which affect the
acoustic properties. As in band stands, so in talking ma

modifying shutters enables you to adapt every record to the
particular acoustic surroundings of any room. Come In -and
