Marked Increase In the volume of
motor tourist travel. Into Oregon
already Is Indicated by the regis
tration record of foreign automo
biles as reported to Secretary of
State Kozer. from the twenty-nine
points in the slate where such reg
istrations are made. March of this
year saw no less than 4,003 regis
trations of foreign motor vehicles,
or an increase over March, 1925, of
1,358. The increase Is at a steady,
normal rate as is Indicated by the
fact that 146 more non-residents
were registered in the mouth of
March alone than in the period
from January 1 to February 28.
The same records show that since
the first of this year there have
been no less than 7,860 such regis
trations. Total registrations for 1925 were
80,319, or 4,648 more than in 1924.
Complete rigures for 1923 are not
available as the law requiring this
procedure did not go into effect un
til May 23 of that year. From that
date until December 31, 1923, the
number of foreign visitors register
ed was 40,460. It must be reflected
that the months for which the rec
ords were kept were those in which
tourist travel is greatest.
Visitors come into Oregon from
virtually every slate as well as
from foreign countries. The influx
during the first three months of
1926 has been remarkably diversi
fied as to origin. To March 31, the
records in. the office of the Secre
tnryi of State show registrations by
states as follows:

An interesting phaso of this
movement of nulonioblle tourists
into Oregon is the trend or direc
tion of the flow, A direct index to
this is furnished by the reports to
the Secretary of State from the
various registration points. For
example, during March of this
year no less than 926 non-resident
motorists registered and received
visitors' permits at Ashland, . the
first point of registration for visit
ors north-bound over the Pacific
highway rrom California. The Port
land offices reported a total regis
tration for March of 576. At Med
ford 603 were registered and at
Grants Pass 400 were listed during
the same period. In the three
month interval from January 1 to
March 31, registration of non-resident
vehicles at the various regis
tration stations was as follows: .
Albanv 211; Ashland 1803: As

In the eight months since the
current series was introduced, the
Buick Motor company has broken
by 1,600 cars its highest previous
shipment record for an entire fis
calyear.. , 1 During this period Buick has also
smashed practically every produc
tion and shipment record made
since its founding 23 years ago.
The monthly average for the
past eight months is better than
the highest previous single month
in Buick history.
The climax of this most active
period was reached in March when
25,305 cars were shipped. The pre
vious high mark prior to ll)2(i was
made in Ocotber, 1925, when 22,850
cars were loaded and sent out.
This record, however, was broken
in each of the first three months
of this year.
In January the shipments set a
new lecord of 23,2(55 cars, which is
415 better than the mark of last
October. In February the record of
the previous month was beaten by
29 cars. The March record smash
ed that of February by 2,011 cars.
In addition, the overage ship
ments for the eight month poilod
was 22,865 cars. This average al
so breaks the single month record
made last October. Production to
date of the current series is 1S2.
!)23 cars, all of which have been
shipped from the factory. The
Buick plant has been at caparit v
continuously since August 1, 1925,
when the 1926 models were first
introduced.
OIL CO,
For the first time, the Abraham
Lincoln humanitarian award has
been won by a corporation. This
unique honor goes to the Union Oil
company of California in reciproca
tion of its lie Careful campaign.
Announcement to this effect was
made yesterday by the Oregon Ilu
mane Society which made the
award.
In a ti'legram to W, I,. Stewart,
President of the Union Oil com
pany of California, Mrs. F. V.
Kwanton, of (he Oregon Hiimaiu1
Society, stated: "I take groat plea
sure in informing you (tint your
line posters on safety first when
driving have been noticed and com
mented upon favorably all over the
country. You have won the great
honor of receiving the gold and
bronze Orrgnn Humane Society
Abraham Lincoln humanitarian
award for cooperation."
The Union's safety campaign
was inaugurated some months ng"
when investigation showed that the
automobile accident situation was
becoming acute. The Union offi
cials went on the promise that au
tomobile drivers were not, ns a
general rule, deliberately careless,
but, rather were victims of the
urge for greater speed, which fs In
herent In so many motorist?,'
It was felt that if some means
could be evolved which would
bring home to the careless motor
ist thp folly "f his actions, a halt
would be calle.to the growing to
tal of automobile accidents. The
present campaign which provided
for the utilization ol 1.S0O posters
on the Pacific Coast typifying mo
toring situations in which areft.i:
driving Is necessary and which car
ry a direct and positive appeal to
observe safe driving practices was
I
. In "Much Obliged," a ULtle book
published by the B. F. Goodrich
JUibber Company, Irvin Cobb with
characteristic vividness pen 8 a
frankly critical portrait of the
American behind the wheel and,
incidentally, revives an old art.
For "Much Obliged" is more prop
erly a pamphlet than a book, and
as such will probably have a great
er value in these days when
pamphlets are rare but books com
mon. Italy, Franco and England have
boasted many famous pamphlet
eers Savonarola, Voltaire, Rous
seau, Swift, Dryden, Pope. Our own
Hen Franklin was a pamphleteer
of no mean ability. Of contempor
ary writers none is better equip
ped to revive this old art than Ir-
vin Cobb.
This fact is clearly demonstrat
ed In the opting sentences of
"Much Obliged." "The other day,"
writes the famous humorist, "I
was reading in the paper that a
certain man let us call him for
convenience Filmoro K. Abels,
since that is not his real name

moviil of an inflamed appendix.

no doubt Is feeling much bettef
ever since. It 1 Know the auilress
I'd send congratulations. Well,
wherever that appendix Is It's in
better company now thau Jt ever
was before"
The style as may bo seen is In
formal. In fact, the reader as he
reads grows quickly conscious of
the nuthor's personality and soon
feels that ho and Cobb arc on in
timate terms.
What Mr. Cobb has to sny about
tho American motorist no motorist
will want to miss. With deft, sure
strokes ho sketches a picture of
the motorist complex "Maybe
there is a certain something In the
mere act of having dominion over
the harnessed powers of a great,
docile mechanism, in the bare
thought of being the master of
time and distance, which makes
the typical aulomobllist incon
siderate and ungracious; which
makes him a despot and a tyrant
and an autocrat, disputing with
other autocrats for what properly
belong to neither of them."
But In ending be offers n solu
tion "The B. F. Goodrich Rubber
Company, which is circulating this
little book, has worked out what
I think is an admirable set of rules
for motorists, calling it quite ap
propriately 'The Silvertown Court
esy Code.' I heartily endorse this
code ." Irvln S .Cobb.
