Newspaper Page TextPAGE TEN LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1916: urn i niifji nniuiTu nrn inimiPT ninminr whlluwh uuuiiii hchl luunioi raMuiPt Tourists coming through from the east continue to tell of Nyssa and Ontario endeavors to steer traffic through central Oregon in an effort to bring the chief travel over that route instead of the Blue Mountain course. One fellow who arrived from California Thursday told a La Grande garage man that strong pressure was brought to bear at both the places named to huve him dodge the moun tains but he insisted on seeing the Grande Ronde valley of which he had heard considerable favorable comment and he was not sorry he had viewed the area. He recommended more sign1 boards along the way to guide strang ers. La Grande automobile parties are to the extent of several families, get ting away this week and early next for long trips, the Bohnenkamp-Pol- ack families heading for Crater Lake and Dr. Hall and party for the Sno qualmie pass region. A trip replete with great pleasure themselves in on horseback. The big Salmon, the Snake and Imnaha join their waters there. If it happens to be grouse season you kill all you want with little effort and back track to Enterprise; then hit through the monster forest to Flora, view that fertile and booming but isolated em pire of extreme Northwest Wallowa county in auto side-trips over level and fine roads that take you to Promise. It is but a short drive to Grouse, Paradise and the river-bottom towns which you reach by descending a steep and long hill that provides all the mountain climbing that is desired, and provides fine fishing at the bot tom of the hill. From that sunken region one can either hack track to Wallowa or Enterprise and come home, or, if right nervy, tackle a cros3-cut trip from Paradise into the Looking Glass country which takes the tourist by the rapids of the Grande Ronde. Thus, fishing, hunting, moun tain scenery unsurpassed, , fertile farming district, monstrous sheep ranges, virgin forests 30 miles that so many overlook is Wallowa through all this and a whole lot more jierts, "now are giving general satis faction, when properly constructed and it is probable that their mile age will continue to increase rapid ly." The principal advantages of the brick road according to the govern ment road service are: 1. Durability under practically all traffic conditions. 2. They afford easy traction and good foothold. 3. Easily maintained and kerjt! county. Its only drawback is the lack of large towns such as one might see in Washingtotn or Idaho, but for un adulterated scenery, Wallowa county surpasses them all. Here for instance is an itinerary: Drive to Wallowa lake and drink the pleasures and abundant mountain scenery there; hit into Sheep creek canyon for fishing; then back to Jos epr and Enterprise and head for Imnaha, the home of Virgin, unculti vated peaches. If possessed with ample time, leave the machine at Fruita and pack horse up to the di vide where the lofty Seven Devils of Idaho thrills you to the quick, and where hundreds of feet straight be low catapults the mad Snake through the Box canyon a yellowish rib bon that's all you see when you grip firmly a rock and lean out over the precipice. Having filled yourselves with this scenery .which authorities tell you the Alps can't duplicate, you come back track to the 20-mile house and swing off to the Chesnimnus, ad miring from the Imnaha's lofty breaks the fertile, balmy-climed canyon hun dreds of feet below you to which no wagon has ever driven but where families pack their children, food and unreels before the tourists' eyes. Yes, Wallowa county possesses possibilities as a tourist mecca that needs only exploitation to become world-famous. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Hatton of Po,t- land motored to La Grande last week on the first leg of a journey that takes them to points in Montana, Yellowston Park, Salt Lake, and back to Oregon by way of California. They are to be accompanied from La Grande by Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Scheetz of this city. . Yesterday a carload of Maxwells was unloaded here four of them hav ing been sold on arrival. Washington, July 29. Continuing its advice on road building the United States office of Good Roads today dis cussed brick as a building material. Forty-four years ago the first brick road in the United States was con structed in Charleston, W. Va. "The experience of forty-four years," says the U. S. Office of Good Roads, "has demonstrated that it is entirely practical to construct satis factory brick roads." "These roads," say Uncle Sam's ex- r i i RUBY'S CYCLE AND SUPPLY SHOP Experience with all makes of motorcycles and any thing from the stand clip to the front license number.

Get That Lawn Mower Sharpened ALL WORK GUARANTEED Titan 10-20 $900 Cash f . o. b. Chicago "MP ' I ""HERE is hardly a farm with a hundred acres or more of tillable land but what has belt work enough to keep a 2oH. P. engine busy when not doing field work. This belt work alone will in most cases pay the entire yearly fuel bill of a Titan 10-20 tractor. Add to this the deep plowing, disking, harrowing, seeding, fallowing, harvesting and hauling the Titan will do during the year, at less than horse cost, and you will see at once what a gilt-edged investment this tractor is. Power, strength and economy as combined in the Titan 10-20, mean everyday usefulness. It has power and strength to take care of the everyday work of the farm. It is small enough to run light machines with economy. It works suc cessfully on kerosene. It reduces the number of woik horses needed. It saves so much in so many different ways, and does so much, that it cannot help but pay for itself long before it is worn out. Be sure to learn more about this Titan 10-20 the tractor that pays for itself, that furnishes power at kerosene cost (less than half the price of gasoline), and that is just the right ze, weight, and style for farms of 100 acres or more.

This is largely offset, it is figured, by the low mainton-.nce and general stamina of the road. The best type of brick road, in the opinion of the government road ex perts, is a good brick laid on a sand cushion, with a substantial concrete foundation. The most essential factor in the building of a good brick road is the selection of a suitable brick. The United States road men recommend bricks made from shales and fire clays of the "lean" varieties. The shales are red while the fire clays prorluce a light-colored road. The brick chosen should be hard, rough and uniform in size. Although a definite speculation as to crushing strength is not necessary, good paving brick should withstand a pressure of from 15,000 to 20,000 pounds per square inch. For the brick road, a concrete foun dation is advisable, but where the traffic is light, broken stone will af ten suffice. Should stone ibe used, it should be put on in courses, the larg est stones at the bottom, and should bo from 8 to 10 inches deep. The more satisfactory concrete base may be a composition of one part Portland cement, three parts sand and five to seven parts broken stone or gravel. This should then be covered to a depth of two inches with a clean sand, spread dry. On this sand cush ion the bricks are laid on edge and at right angles to the line of the road. Each alternate row should begin a half brick in. Ramming and rolling complete the road. Discussing the high price of auto mobile fuel, the Wall Street Journal says: "In the end, probably, automobilists will bo able to go twice as far on twenty-five cent gasoline as they were able to go on twelve and a half cent gasoline. Science will equalize things. That is precisely the basis iroon which Franklin cars have always been designed. The latest type, Series 9, furthers this development to the extent of 20 per cent greater economy than obtained in the preceding model, which set a world's record for miles per gallon of gasoline a year ago. The Franklin Company's contention is that there can he no solution of the gasoline problem, satisfactory to everybody, except by promotion of ef ficiency in the use of gasoline. rutting mat proposition or eco nomical operation of motor cars into actual practice, this company has re duced the weight of the Franklin car 400 pounds without sacrificing any thing in the matter of passenger size or strength. The weight of Series Nine is 2280 pounds, fully equipped. A six-cylinder engine, with smaller cylinders, is a natural result of the further development of the Franklin. It means greater economy, and for the car as a whole, greater ability is obtained by the marked reduction in weight. Scientific redesigning and the pol icy of sparing no expense in the pur chase of materials are the methods by which a car 400 pounds lighter than Series Eight has been produced. The dispatches of a few days re lating the escape from the Mexicans of Capt. Morey, leader of one of the troops of the Tenth Cavalry which were ambushed by the Mexicans at Carrizal, contained the information that Capt. Morey, after finding other U. S. troops, made his way to Gen Pershing's headquarters in a "motor car.' The car which conveyed the wounded officer to the headquarters of the expeditionary forces was a Dodge Brothers motor car, one of the fleet of nearly 200 in use bv the army along the border and in Mexico. The Dodge Brothers cars, the ma jority of which are touring cars, al though a number of the officers use individual roadsters, are attached to the various truck companies and are used for quick work in transporting officers and men from camp to camp. No car has made a better record over the terrible roads of Northern Mexico than have the Dodge Brothers cars, They have stood the tests so well that a large number of additions are being made to the fleet. The army officers are all enthusiastic over the perform' ances of those which have been in use since the first troops wont, into Mexico. Capt. Moray's trip in one of the cars is but an incident ox the utilitar ian value of these light-weight cars in the Mexican campaign. On one occasion a doctor was raced across the Mexican desert in a Dodge Broth ers car to attend a sick officer and only a few weeks ago three Dodge I Brothers cars were used in running 1 , i i i , , i. i i i down a muiuiL leauer wno jiuu escttpeu a number of times from the mounted troops, Professional Directory FRATERNAL ORDERS K.

Wife Fears She Has Brother Wedded Own Globe, Ariz., July 28. Mrs. Rog er W. Newton, who before her marri age claims to have been Elizabeth Porter, of Eugene, Ore., is said to have discovered in an old locket kept oy her husband, the faces of her own parents, also said by the husband, to be the likeness of his parents. The husband, when 3 years old was left in an orphanage in Spokane, and the locket was the only connection he had with his former life. He was later adopted by an eastern family, and after graduating from college, went to .Portland, where he married Miss Porter. The couple came here four months ago, and the wife did not see the locket until a couple of days ago. The couple is now bound for Oregon to investigate the matter.
