Harry M. Jewett, president of
the I'alge-Jowett Motor company,

all l'alge and Jewett distributors,
'asking them for advice as to how
I tho factory can mako the cars
better, according to Harris
French.
"Many 'of the refinements thut

'Jewett realizes that l'alge

and can offer the best sugges-

Of course,, factory engineers

Toll Gate on Roads
NASHVILLE, Tenn. AP).
The gasoline . filling station lias
replaced the familiar old sappllng
that formerly was swung down
to block Die public highways In
the form of a toll gate.
Motorists ure paying part of the
highway construction expense at
threo cents a gallon at the filling
station pump, where formerly
every vehicle passing the desig
nated spots hud to plank down
u qjurter.
Toll gates were satisfying to
traffic 100 years ago when the
pioneers , blazed through forested
areas and established accommo
dation for travel, but today the
state is building Us own Improved
and modern highways. Motorists
will drive miles out of tho way
over another route to escape the
periodical gates.
On June I i, 1796, one turnpike
company organized a toll roud
with rates ranging from one cent
for every ten sheep or hogs, lo
threo cents for each four-horse
carriage. The rates advanced
with the progress in roads and
modes of travel and similar toll
systems were adopted in other
states.
The old toll gates In Tennessee
became unpopular. v Now through
tho red, blue, yellow and white
gas filling pump, the state Is net
ting nearly $3,000,000 in 1925 to
ward its public highway con

PEAKS NAMED
PORTLAND. Ore. (Special) I
Three outstanding mountain peaks
which cluster around Wallowa lake
hiave been given names significant j
of the early history of that district
by the United States geographic
board, according to word received
from the board by J. Neilson Bar
ry, director of the Trail Ucekers.
The peak in the past known as
Signal mountain, lying east of the
lake, was renamed by the board,
"Howard," in honor of General
Oliver Otis Howard who cam
paigned In the two famous Indian
wars of that district, thut against
Chief Joseph and the Bannock-
I Piute war. i
Middle mountain, . lying to the
south of the lake, has beon re
named 'Bonneville" for General
Benjamin I V. Bonneville, who
was the first white man to visit
the district in 1834. He passed
over the mountains of that district
in the dead of winter when the
.snow was declared to have been
100 feet deep.
The third mountain, commonly
known as Tunnel mountain, which
la west of the lake, has been
named "Chief Joseph" after the
famous Indian chief who defended
his country in a bloody war against
the white man.
Tho renaming of these three
mountains was sponsored by the
Trail See kern, an organization
which Is seeking to glvu suitable
names to outstanding geographical
features of Oregon's scenery. :
Mr. Barry said the organization
hud been working on the proposi
tion for the last year and a half.
He said the new -names had been
approved by the Pioneer associa
tion of Wallowa, by a board ap
pointed by Governor Plerco to pass
upon such matters, and by the for
estry department.
