The Pillars of a Bank
are its principal deposi­
tors, not only on ac­
count of their money
but also because of
their personal charac­
ter and reputation. On
the other hand the hon­
est reputation of a com­
mercial bank reflects
credit on all its cus­
tomers in their indi­
vidual business trans­
actions, so that the fi­
nancial benefit is mu­
tual.

^CHEVROLET/
The Rhythmic Put-Put-Put
of the Motor
That steady purr of the motor that indicates reserve
power for emergencies and gives assurance that the
purring is going to continue steadily until the trip is
completed that’s one of the advantages of the CHEV­
ROLET.
The CHEVROLET will go anywhere that any car will
go and many places that other cars will not go—and it
gets there under most, trying condition.
The CHEVROLET is a sturdily built car with classic
lines.

1.2,3.4.5 Years—
Still a "Young Car
The Willys-Knight is a car you can keep
and enjoy for years. A touring car with
all the thrill of 42 horsepower—a car you
can drive 50 miles and more an hour, hour
after hour— without over-heating—with­
out loss of power—without engine trouble
— without carbon cleaning — without
ever needing valve grinding.
The Willys-Knight sleeve-valve engine is
the most powerful engine of its size ever
built — and the quietest — and the only
type of engine in the world that actually
improver with use. It is common for
Willys-Knight owners to report 50.000
miles and more without spending a cent
for repairs on the engine.

TRAVEL TO EAST; SAY OREGON IMPROVEMENTS ARE TO FOLLOW
HAS ’EM ALL BEAT
CAMP MEET INTEREST
Temperature on Desert So Hot That
Motorists Can’t Touch Tires
With Their Hands.
Oregon has them all beat for
climate and roads. That was the
verdict of Mr. and Mrs. G. A.
Sanders upon their return Sunday
from spending 10 weeks in the
south central states.
“It’s a crime,” said Mr. San­
ders, “the way streaks of mud or
sand pass for roads in some states.”
His description of the trip across
the 400 miles of desert getting east
from California was particularly
emphatic. The highest temperuturo
we had on this part of the trip
was 122 above, and the natives said
that was rather a cool day as a
breeze was blowing. The extreme
heat raised havoc with our tiros
and if you want all the joy taken
out of motoring, try changing a
dozen or more on such a day as
the one described. When you do
change one, don't grab hold of it
or you will suffer with blistered
hands.
' ‘ I don’t believe there ever was
an Arkansaw traveler. Folks who
live there ought to know better
than to travel. It was in Arkansas
that we had our first experience of
having our car float as we crossed
a stream. Teams were necessary to
tow cars across and they were there
ready for you. The charge was rea­
sonable, however.
“It was also in Arkansas that we
had our first experience in getting
down to a ferry on a road that
seemed to drop off the edge of a
precipice. The folks said that we
were not compelled to use the ferry
—that wo could stay where we
were. We were reassured by the
in/ormntion that as yet no one had
boon killed getting onto or off the
ferry. The tone of voice indicated
that we might bo the first. Ascend­
ing the grade after leaving the ferry
required such power that our front
wheels were actually lifted from the
ground.
“The best part of the trip was
when we struck Oregon coming
home. The old state, with its sa­
lubrious ozone, its wooded hills and
ribbons of paved highways looked
like paradise. The next time we
take a motor trip east it will be on
the train.”

MRS LEONARD DOUGLAS
IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
Mrs. I Conard Douglas, of Mc­
Cloud, Calif., daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. J. H. Bartels, of this city,
was seriously injured in a motor
accident at Grants Pass Saturday
night, while en route to this city to
spend the week end at the home of
her parents. She was in company
with her husband and baby son.
As they were entering Grants Pass,
Mr. Douglas pulled out to one side
of the road to allow another car
to pass. It happened to bo a large
gravel fill and the steering gear,
hitting an old stmup which was
hidden under the loose gravel, broke.
The ear immediately began to slip
in the loose gravel, making throe
complete turns down a steep bank.
The car was a complete wreck but
was insured.
Mrs. Douglas sustained a cut on
her right leg and the ankle of that
leg was crushed and thrown out of
place. She is also severely bruised.
Mr. Douglas was only slightly
bruised and the son was uninjured.
The baby had been in a buggy in
the back of the ear but the mo­
ment the mother realized the danger
they were in she grabbed the baby,
luckily, as a large stick ran through
the buggy which would have caused
instant death.
Mrs. Douglas received first aid
treatment at Grants Pass, eight
stitches being taken in her leg. The
following day Mr. Dougins took
her to a hospital in McCloud, Calif.,
whore thev- live. Physicians have
been unable to reduce the fracture
and believe it will be several
mouths before Mrs. Douglas will be
able to walk.
Mrs, Ethel Norman, sister of
Mrs. Douglas, went from here to
Grants Pass following the accident
to accompany the Douglas family
home and remain nt McCloud while
her sister is recuperating.
I.tons Go to Lebanon.
Lions from here attended the
charter night of the Lebanon Lions
club Saturday evening. Delegations
were also present from Portland.
Eugene, Salem and Springfield. but
Cottage Grove predominated in per
ventage of membership attending.
Each chapter presinted the newly
chartered one with a gift, the meal
organisation’s gift being the em­
blem of the club. The evening’s
program consisted of a stunt bv
each chapter. The local elub took
Misses Ruth and Nellie Stewart
with them to put on their part of
the program. Their musical net was
heartily received.

his time, whilo a resident here, in

OARS PREFER NARROWER
OF TWO FLORENCE ROADS
A large number of automobiles
are now traveling the new road
built down the north bank of the
Si us law between Mapleton and
Cushman by the Southern Pacific
company in preference to the
mountain road by way of the North
Fork, according to P. M. Morse,
county engineer, who has returned
from a trip to that section of the
county.
Mr. Morse said that one day last
week 48 cars passed over the road,
which he believes is more cars than
there are in all that part of the
country. Thia indicates, he said,
that outsiders are being attracted
to the coast section.
The grade is very narrow and in
many places it is dangerous, but
the drivers seem to prefer it to
the steep hills and the switchback
on the mountain road out of Maple
ton. There are but few places on
the now road for ears to pass.
