This casual inquiry comlug from out-of-state tourists brings but vague answers from Ibu persons (juealioned. Frequently the Tialt itiK motorist announces tliat he will be in Oregon for a week or two and wants to see all tbat lie can of the state iu that time. ' As a matter of fuct, few people la the state of Oregon realize the ex tent of their highway . system. From figures of the existing roads in Oregon compiled by the Ore gon Slate Motor 'Association, a motorist traveling' 150 miles a day would require almost a year to traverse all the roads in the state, iu fact, approximately 133 days would be ueeded, as a total nilio age of all roads la the Btate is. 50,014. v Should the motoriat decide to rauko the trip merely over the state highway system, , the tour would take approximately thirty days. The total mileage in the state highway system Is 4.46S miles; while the counties boast a road mileage of 45,546. While it is the general belief that only paved roads represent the ultimate iu comfort, there are hun dreds of miles that are highly en joyable to travel ami the equal of paved road in comfortable going. Should the tourist care to travel ou surfaced roads of the state in ad dition to the paved roads, 73 days would be i?eded, as the total mile age of paved roads In the state la 10,945 miles. . ; . . -. In, addition to the mileage enum erated above, there are thousands of miles ot roads leading from every county and state highway in to the dooryards' of every ranch house and- mountain cabin In the state, forming a moBt comprehen sive ' transportation system f o r every Individual-of the state. '.'IT'S THE GREATEST Twenty years ago racing cars were twice as heavy and were 1 - powered by motors four times as InrRC as the racing cur of today. Yet they were only half as fast and had nothing like tho endur ance of tho present day car. Engineers learned that big motors did not mean greater power. Faster and more enduring motors were found in the smaller high compression type. And then to make full use of the motor de velopment, the chassis through out had to be redesigned. Every part had to be engineered in per fect balance to every other part. Since ever' racing caris virtually hand ni ule. and cost is no object, these things offered no obstacle. But such practice is not cus tomary in building stock auto mobiles. " To save costs many makers use the same axlo, trans mission, clutch and motor. Essex, however, follows racing car practice. Its Super-Six motor develops more than 2Vi times the ' . power its size ordinarily rates it. It converts waste heat to power and gives economy in fuel and oil that is astounding, The distinction, however, is not limited to the motor. Its chassis is in true balance in every part. Clutch, transmission, axles and frameareespecially engineered to make a perfect unit. This permits compactness and adds 15 to the length of the body without ex tending the body beyond the rear axle. This unity of construction assures added advantage in every particular of performance, reli ability, comfort, safety and economy. 1 "It's 1 (lie greatest I ntutor ever bhllt t)V', Huilaoj. 4ilgrieers.

"High compression is tills year's tfnd toduy's development It is part of the -engineering effort to obtain' better efficiency from fr.el. , The cars 'of this season are: superior to those of former years' because of new developments In tbo com:f ession rations which nro now: possible .Hudson-Essex could easily . have' gone along with ttie trend,, hi designing a high com pression motor which would per form on special fuels. However, the Hudson engineering organiza tion chose the . much more diffi cult task ot producing a car with all high compreHsfou characteris tics of performance, and with the ability to do these things with Just any ordinary motor car fuel. "There is positively ao need for Hudson owners to purchase premium-priced fuels. This Is important a factor of economy, but Rtill more Important is ' the fact that Hudsoa owners know that they can use niiy type of gasoline purchas ed at any wayside station. The Hudson aiotor is designed so that it will handle even a low grade of fuel with gratifying results. , l ne current Hudson cars are in two sizes tittle ou the 118 Inch chassis and those on the 12? inch.

There were 878,000 owners of two or more trucks in the United states on January 1, 1927. The National Automobtte Chamber of Commerce estimates that this frroup of fleet owners owned sliRhtly less than 1,000.000 trucks.
