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.

Anderson bought the business from J.
L. Riffle, who early this month bought
out Mr. Leighton. Mr. Leighton has

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

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

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.

Auto Show Brings

...... 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.

Here is John N. Willy's answer to
that:
