WILL AUCTION
GEARHART LOTS
AUTO ACCIDENTS JUMPED 42
I'ER CTNT IN 3 YEARS
The most interesting development
' of the past week in real estate circles
is the announcement of an unre
served auction na!o of beach resort
home sites at Gcurhart By the Sea.
The sale is scheduled to take place
at Gcurhart on Saturday. August
11th and the officials of the Gcarhart
Fark Company, owners and develop
ers of Cearhart, announce that each
lot offered will be sold to the high
est bidder without reservations.
Marketing of homo sites by the
auction method in and around Port
land is no longer in the experimental
stage since several large uuctions
have been conducted in the past
three years, anionj; them being Lau
relhurst. Piedmont and Mayhew
Park properties, all of which were
conducted by Barry & Austin, who
introduced this method of selling in
Oregon and who will conduct the
forthcoming sale at ticurharL
The sale of Gearhart lots is of
particular interest because of the
character of the property involved
and again on account of tho rapid de
velopment now going on and con
templated at tiearliart. The mag
nificent $:i(JO,OUO hotel is undeniably
the finest Mcacli Kcsort Hotel on
the Pacific and has just 'been com
pleted at Gcarhart, thereby provid
ing a much needed rendcvuus foe the
people of the northwest. . The hotel
is equipped with every conceivable
convenience and most elaborately fur
nished and surpasses anything of
its kind in this part of the country.
This enterprise, promoted by some
of 1'ortlands most prominent citi
zens, is uu assurance that Gearhart
is on the threshold of unprecedented
activity anil now that the Gcaihart
Park Company has authorized an un
reserved sale of part of Us huhlings,
it is to be expected that considerable
building activity will be witnessed at
Gearhart in the immediate future.
The purpose of the sale, as- stated
by an official of the selling company,
is to distribute as many lots as pos
sible among individual homo builders
who will build and live at Gearhart
and for this reason, in spite of the
fact that it is to bo a sacrifice sale,
the selling company is offering ex-
cecdingly easy terms to encourage
rapid development at this beautiful
beach resort. "Prices will be no con
sideration ut the auction and terms
as low as iplOX'O a month are being
offered, thereby making it possible
for all to participate in the joy of a
summer cottage by the sea." Deeds
anil title policies will be issued by
the Title & Trust Company of Port
land and arrangements have also
been made with the Title & Trust
Company to execute bids for intend
ing purchasers who might not be
able to attend the sale in person. An
attractive illustrated book-map giv
ing full description of the property
and tho terms of sale has been pre
pared and can be. obtained upon ap
plication at the office of Barry &
Austin .in the Chamber of Commerce
Building, Portland.
(lty Associated Press)
NEW YORK, July 13. Lax sup
ervision of motor vehicle drivers
and the resultant increase of 42 per
cent in the automobile death rate
during the past three years, is due
to the fact that the majority of
state legislators are from rural dis
trict!) where strict examination and
registration of drivers is not a vital
matter, according to a report sub
mitted by William J. Cox. traffic ac
cident research engineer, to the Na
tional Bureau of Casualty and Sure
ty Underwriters. There were 14,000
deaths from motor accidents last
year, he said.
After a thorough investigation of
tne problem, and a careful examina
tion of the records of some 300.000
accidents, Mr- Cox has prepared a
table showing that registration and
examination of all drivers is the only
method of stopping the rising num
ber of traffic casualties.
In Maryland, Massachusetts ami
Connecticut, where strict supervision
of drivers is maintained, casualties
have fallen off i per cent, while in
creasing 42 per cent over the coun
try. According to IMr. Cox' figures,
there would have been 4,300 fewer
deaths from outomobilcs in 1022 had
the percentage of these three states
been universal.
"Only seven states renuire the ex
amination of all motor vehicle opera
tors," said tho report, "while 35
stales require only chauffeurs to be
licensed, and many of these are never
examined. An automobile driver's li
cense must ibe something to be ac
quired through merit, and not
through the payment of half a dollar."
How Hot Is Lightning?
(Ily Associated l'ress)
BERLIN, July 14. The question of
the degree of heat germinated by
lightning has been agitated recently
in German scientific circles because
of the effect, observed after electrical
storms, of lightning on the tips of
lightning rods.
It was found that a platinum tip
melted on being struck. Since the
melting-point of platinum Is variously
fixed at 1,7(10 to 1.800 degree centll-
grude. it was clear that tile lightning's
heat exceeded that temperature. La
ter an instanco developed in which
an iridium tip was melted by a sti-oko.
Tho melting-point of this metal Is
said to be 2,000 degrees centrigrude.

MOSCOW, June 11). When the
croupiers and dealers of the all nipht
painblinp: houses of Moscow are
tired and heavy eyed, which is about
seven o'clock every morning, there
come paily into their rooms groups
of fresh and wakeful mcn,v just up
from a (rood night's - sleep. They
arc alert and brisk, and they play
apainst the fatigued and weary pro
fessionals. What is more, they al
most always win. They call them
selves the "Seven o'clock Daisies."

ESSHN, Germany, June 21.
When tho German workers in tho
liujirjhnvngheirr
sive resistance, declined to work for
the French and the Bclfrians, they
turncjl in lurjjo numbers to market
gardening. Sixty thousand railroad

As a result the district ia produc
ing a vast harvest of vegetables and
grain, and a teal "back-to-the-land"
movement is under way.

become normal after the Bulgarian
revolution maybe we had better try

Monte Cristo
Up-to-Date
AFTER a search that led through untold hardships, the
Count of Monte Cristo found the secret cavern. Gold,
gems and untold wealth were his.
But think of this! Every day, simply by spending a
few minutes running through the advertising columns of
this paper, you can find a wealth of things that Monte
Cristo could never know.' Things that make your life rich'
in comforts! Countless conveniences that iron out the me
chanics of existence ! Economies that bring within your
easy reach, things that once were priceless !
We sometimes overlook the important role that adver
tising plays in making our lives pleasant and altogether
livable.. Advertising is as much a part of today's life as
electricity, antiseptic surgery or automobiles. It keeps
us up-to-date on the many things we need in order to live
profitable, happy and useful lives. It presents for our
approval articles of all kinds and for all purposes. The re
quirements of each member of the family are met by ad
vertised offers of good merchandise of proved value.
The advertisements save time, money and effort for
those, who read them and follow their guidance. They are
practical guarantees of satisfaction.
DON'T PUT DOWN THE PAPER WITHOUT
: READING THE ADVERTISEMENTS .
