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.
Invoices in the possession of New-,
land show early-day Dodge owners
included such distinguished per
sons as F. S. Hamilton, Roseburg;
