Anderson Owns Leighton Garage New Owner Has Had Years of Train ing in Expert Machine Shop. Prac tice. John E. Anderson of Portland has purchased the garage business of R. W. Leighton and has taken charge. Anderson bought the business from J. L. Riffle, who early this month bought out Mr. Leighton. Mr. Leighton has rented space from Mr. Anderson and will conduct a battery and welding i'e partment separate from the garage'1 Mr. Anderson has had 12 years ex perience with automobiles. Ha was two years with tin.' Maxwell people in Portland as "trouble shooter" on the r0iul Work which the local dealers could not handle was given to Mr. Anderson. Ho has also had experi ence with the Winton car people and the Ford company. For two years Mr. Ai.derson was in charge of one of the ir.-iest repair shops on the coast, i" Seattle. The Maxwell and Chandler cars will be handled by Mr. Anderson nnd a complete line of accessories will be in charge of Mr. Anderson's father-in law, J. II. V. Crane. To handle Ford car work Mr. Asi de! son will have a special man from Portland. Mr. Anderson will person ally handle the Maxwell car work a d will superintend the mechanical de partment. To gain more light one or two moio :ndows will be made in the gar ,ge building but this work will be done o a.' not to inconvenience the regular business. R. W. Leighton has had 33 years ov I enence in machine work. He reti 09 from six years in the garage business h-re to conduct a special battery and welding department. For six years Mr. Leighton was with the O.-W. R. & N. company shops and for the past twa years he has handled the battery and welding work for the Palmer Lumber Company and the Grande Ronde Lumber Company. Training Places' Clark Griffith's Washingtons Is Only Team to Go to New Place. The full list of training camps and teams to visit them follows: National League. Chicago Pasadena, Cal. New Y'ork Marlin, Texas. Pittsburgh Columbus, Ga. Cincinnati Shreveport, La. Philadelphia St. Petersburg, Fla. Brooklyn Hot Springs, Ark. St. Louis, Hot Wells, Texas. Boston Miami, Fla. American League. Washington Augusta, Ga. Boston Hot Springs, Ark. Chicago Mineral Wells, Texas. New York Macon, Ga. St. Louis Palestine, Texas. Detroit Waxahachie, Texas. Philadelphia Jacksonville, Fla. Cleveland New Orleans, La. BY H. C. HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, Jan. 27. Big league clubs show little disposition to make changes when the time comes for them to start on the annual spring junket. Seventy per cent of the ma jors will be back at the old grounds this year unless Dave Fultz breaks things up by making his threatened strike effective. Only one club in the American league will hie itself to a new spot to take off the rough spots. Washing ton will stop this year at Augusta, Ga., instead of Charlottesville, where things have been done for Clarke Grif fith's pennant hopes in the past. The National league clubs this year show a more lively disposition. The Cubs, for instance, have given up Florida and will go all the way to Pas adena, Cal., to get in the early knocks. In doing this they are dumping over !tho findings of Charles Comiskey, who a long time ago decided California wasn't doing a thing good for his ball ! players. He went back to Texas. The Dodgers, pennant winners in jthe merry-go-round, undoubtedly will , be immersed in the Hot Springs of i Arkansas for their daily baths. They will do their training stunts on the ! diamond left to shiver by it ' self when the Pirates chucked Ar kansas overboard. The Dodgers will have for company the champion Red Sox of the American league. Pittsburgh threw over the Ozarks and the rest of the Arkansas scenery in favor of Columbus, Ga. When in Portland you will find The Observer on sale at the Oregon Ho tel news stand and Imperial Hotel.

SMITH PRODUCE AND STORAGE Phons Main 734 Auto Show Brings Crowd to New York New York, Jan. 24. (Special) v v,.b 1:1 ... .l: i. !. V '. t. I OlIL'ClllI 1 ...... av.n lines iu uiuiK ii cannni oe disconcerted, but it can be. Father Knickerbocker has an idea that he is a complacent individual who is quite I " m i 7. V . " Ctt''8 capable of taking caro of himself and k "V' forcfron' ' m' of his guests under all circumstances " r,fnr dH,K"- ml 8e the t But the truth is that he gets along, P I'lS! rCCif. djS1hl nly when thele THE PROPOSED PALOUSE . is little to disturb him. ,. For instance the automobile inter-1 ests recently invaded New York .and had a show, or rathor many of them. and life in the city quickened until it fairly trembled. . The first and important thiiur was to house the guests and although it may not be generally known, group t T0l,P . of . Yuld- . I8 tramped each night, gnp m hand, trom one end of Broadway to the oth er, seeking where to lay their heads. Where some of them did even now is 'a mystery. The feeding of the multitude was not so difficult, for the restaurants in New York h:;vo evidently grown in capacity faster than the hostelries. And yet this was not the largest pos sible aggregation of people who could reach New York at one time. They were all, it is presumed, well supplied with money. At uny rate, the tax on the cheaper hotels was not greater than that on the larger and more ex pensive ones. Undoubtedly New York is capable of being embarrassed by the multitude of its visitors, but it finds satisfaction in contemplating the fact that whenever it gives a show crowds flock to see it. New York, Jan. 27. (Special.) With a motor that has not seen its superior in either American or Con tinental mnnufucturies; with a body the lines of which are grace and (iis tinctiveness personified; and with a hundred added refinements and feat ures that go to make it the last won! in mechanical developcnient and iioJy refinements, The Willys-Knight Eight, lender of Vhe Willys-Overland Com pany's line for 1917, was showm for the first time to New York motor enthusiasts . at the Grand Central Palace. A beautiful polished chassis and a touring car of this model are on exhibition. Performance has proved the Knight sleeve-valve motor superior to all other types in power, flexibility, smoothness and silence. Further more, it has been demonstrated that the Knight motor is the only motor that is helped by carbon, supposedly the enemy of automobile motors. The Knight motor improves with the ac cumulation of carbon.- The sale of the first Willys-Knight Foury made by The Willys-Overland Company proved a phenomenal suc cess, more than 12,000 of them being disposed of in the United States'with in the first year. Thei Willys-Knight Eight is the srme type of motor, with the greater power, speed and flexibility of eight cylinders. What Mr. Willys Says. "Our 'Knight,'' says John N. Willys speaking of the motor, which is the fulfillment of am ambition of many years standing, "not only gives con tinuous, wonderfully smooth flow of power, wide range of speed and lightn ing pick-up, raised to their highest development by the inherent smooth ness amd flexibility of the sleeve-valve type, but it also assures these quali ties without adding complications. "In our 'Eight' there are no extra valves to grind, for the sleeve-valve motor requires no grinding of valves. There are no carbon troubles, for car bon helps the sleeve-valve motor. Furthermore, there are no extra valves to re-time, for the timing of sleeve-valves can never vary. Description of the Eighth. "In addition to the motor, however, one of the leading advantages of the new "Eight' is its appearance. "The clean-cut sweeping lines, the roll edge of the body, the low grace ful cowl back of the front sent and the sloping windshield are set off to striking effect by straw-colored wheels, black fenders nnd trimmings. "As in nearly nil other Overland nnd Willys-Knight cars resilient canti lever springs are used in the rear, giving the very best of riding quali ties. Seat springs, each encased in an individual pocket, add to the riding comfort. No Details Overlooked. "Not the slightest detail has been overlooked to make this new Willys Overland product one of the most at tractive in the field, comparing to ad vantage with the highest-priced auto mobile. "Auxiliary seats, which fold into the front seats, are of fine leather. The windshield is tilted to eliminate glare, and this also adds to the appearance of the car. "The running board.", are equipped with hard rubber foot scrapers both in front and rear. "Door curtains open with doors. "Even such a detail as the footrest has not bcen overlooked. It is of metal broad enough to be comfortable and covered with rich velvet carpet. "A motor driven tire pump and a motormeter are also part of the standnrd equipment." A feature that has occasioned fully as much comment as the motor nnd the appearance of the, car among those who have soon it, is the remark ably low price of this car $1950 f. o. b. Toledo. What Mr. Willyg Says.. Here is John N. Willy's answer to that: "Our huge production schedule, which culls for the manufacture of r ore than 200,000 cars in 1917, our vast buying power, distribution nf . . ...
