I m The Dodge Motor Co. was formed 50 years ago, a year later a limit ed agency was started in Roseburg in 1914, and Dodge was to play an important part in establishing mo tor service from Roseburg to Coos Bay. Barcus Motors, Inc., local dis tributor, is joining in observing the 50th year, when the Dodge broth ers broke off from Ford Motor Co. and formed their own business. Barcus Motors is also observing its 10th year of Dodge dealership and 17 years in the automobile business. From horse-drawn stage coach to motor coach is the transition re counted by Harley Johnson, who still lives in Reston in a home which once served as an overnight stopping place, store and restau rant. Johnson, then a very young man, took over the stage route between Roseburg and Marslificld over the Coos Bay Wagon Road in 1911. He used a four-horse stage coach in the spring, summer and fall. It was necessary to use six horses to take the stage to the summit of the Coast Range from Johnson s Reston home. There two horses were released to return home on their own. The railroad was not built from Eugene to the Coast until 1915, so the Coos Bay Wagon Koad was the shortest and fastest route. The first automobile was demonstrated on the stage route in 1912, but it v.as taken off as inadequate. Ihe first man to make the trip over the route by car was Henry Harth of Roseburg. Horses made their last trip in November 1914. Several automo biles in the $5,000 to $7,000 price ranae were tried. In 1915 two Dodecs were put on the run. They carried seven passengers besides the driver, making eight grown per sons with luggage. Quoting Johnson: "Within weeks, news was all over Southern Ore gon that the Dodge was the first car to make this rugged trip time and again without major break downs or lay offs. Everyone was surprised at the Dodge Bros, rug ged car." The converted Dodge automobile left Roseburg at 6:30 a.m.; arrived at Johnson's Reston Post Office and Dining Room at 8 a.m., was I in Sitkum at noon, and in Coquillc i at 3:30 to take the boat or train j to Marshfield. The stages trans-1 ported settlers, loggers, boomers j and homesteaders to the coast. I Again in 1920-22 Johnson used! Dodges until the Coos Bay High way No. 42 was finished. Dodge had a marked distinction in early day Douglas County, being one of the most popular cars. A Dodge was the first car to be driven to the top of Mt. Nebo about 1915. It was driven through the Alexander Addition up along the ridge to near where the flag pole is LYNN BECKLEY of Glide, hos joined the LP. McAneney Real Estate agency, 1634 SE Stephens St., as a salesman. He has been in real estate the past 1 Vi years. Beckley has engaged in ranching in Douglas County tor many years and will continue this activity along with his rea estate soles work. He is o former county commissioner today, then down to the front sate of the Judge Fullerton house. First Dodge dealer in Roseburg was the Duffee Auto Co. Roseburg Garage, but owners Claude Smith and Dee Howard, who opened a sales room in the old Central Hotel at Rose and Oak streets, were mak ing so much money repairing broken down automobiles traveling north from California they didn't want to bother with a car sales agency. Johnson bought and sold a few ears in cooperation with the JDuf fee Auto Co. In 1015 Jim O. Newland took over the agency and established it in what is now the Western Auto Supply Store. His son, Maurice, now with U.S. National Bank, help, ed in the business when he was old enough, and in 1926 Maurice be came a partner. The business name was changed to J. O. Newland and Son. The Ncwlands owned the bsui ness until 1929, when they sold to C. G. Fcrrier. He in turn sold to L. R. Chambers, and later Si Dillard took over the agency, which he handled until 1955 when Barcus Motors became the dealer.
