OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24. 1920.
A
-15,
The automobile world of Portland
is again busy preparing Itself for Its
annual full dress affair, and for the
twelfth consecutive year residents of
Portland and the Northwest will be
treated to the finest assemblage of
automobiles and automotive equip
ment that can be offered them.
Announcement was made recently
by the board of directors of the Auto
mobile Dealers' association of Port
land that the twelfth annual auto
mobile show will be held in the
municipal auditorium January 10 to
IS inclusive.
The 1921 show will occupy the two
entire floors of the auditorium, as
well as the balcony rooms. About
60,000 square feet of floor space will
tie utilized in displaying passenger
cars.
In addition to the passenger carss
the automotive equipment manufac
turers and distributors will make a
special feature of accessories In the
balcony rooms, where more than S.OflO
square feet of spac will be used in
displaying items of vital Importance
to the motor world of today.
The space schedule, in the hands o
U. O. Wilklns, secretary and manager
of the association, lists 164 of the
latest models of passenger cars. Every
foot of available space will be utiliied.
Of course, these 164 different models
does not mean that many different
makes of cars will be exhibited, but
includes enclosed, touring, roadster
and probably, special models of each
make.
The show committee consists of the
board of directors of the Automobile
Dealers' Association, and, as in all re
cent shows, the 1921 show will be con
ducted wholly under the auspices of
that association.
"Plans are progressing rapidly, now
that the opening date has been set,"
ays Manager Wilklns, "and the en
thusiasm displayed by the board of
directors points to the outshining of
all preTlous shows in the point of dec
orative schemes, features and dis
plays. No expense will be spared In
transforming the auditorium from a
theater into an ideal exhibition hall."
Tb9 association was fortunate in
being able to obtain the auditorium for
the 1921 annual event, and every ef
fort will beb ent to make the show
the best ever stagd in the Northwest
The large number of passenger cars
to be displayed will not allow suffi
cient space for the display of trucks
in conjunction with the automobiles
and the truck show will be held in
the individual dealer show room.
"Is the road passable for a motor
vehicle between Portland and lTlla
mook, via Sheridan, Grand Ronde
route?"
Tes. Auto stages are making the
trip every day.
Regarding the condition of this
road State Division Engineer Clarke,
who has this section in charge, states
that it is such that any careful driver
can make I without difficulty. As
far as Sheridan the road is excellent,
pavement all but 10 miles. From
Sheridan to Willamlna is old gravel
roaa. -igh but with solid foundation.
About a mile west of Willamlna the
worst road Is encountered. The
Spaulding company was granted
the old road, with the understanding
that the company would build a new
roa along the bluff above the rail
road tracks. As a result while this
work is in operation the road Is bound
to be In rough condition. A gang of
workmen Is on hand all the time,
bowever, and the road is being kept
open to travel. From the end of this
construction work to Heb,o Is good
macadam and form Hebo to Tilla
mook Is also good macadam, with the
exception ofi a, coup! ecjf short stretches
where Tillamook county Is carrying
on road work. No detours are nec
essary on the entire trip.

The Poor Old Skates
Nearly Caused a Riot
Now They Are Dead
Two poor old horses came near
starting a riot on Main street Monday
afternoon when they appeared hitch
ed to the rear end of a truck owned
by the Mliwaukte Rendering com
pany. The old "skates" should hav
been shot, and would have been, if
the driver of the truck had not for
got his gun. Anyway, someone tele
phoned the chief of police, anil upon
inquiry by that officer. It was found
that the Mllwaukie Rendering com
pany had secured the horses for the
hides, and had sent a d-iver out to
kill and load the animals on the
truck and come home. The driver
forgot his gun, and in order to got
the horses home, had to walk them
instead of hauling them. The matter
was satisfactorily settled for all con
corned.

ASHLAND, Or, Dec. 24. A caravan
of tourists from the north passed
thorugh Ashland the fore part of the
week on their way to points In South
era California for the winter. The
caravan was composed of tea auiomo
bile loads of people, and they were
t quipped with all the paraphernalia
for camping. Tuesday eight, they
claimed, they camped out of aoors and
we: not at all uncomfortable, al
though that was per hap; the coldest
night of the season in aouthei.i Ore
gon. A string of seveu Fords also
passed through going south. These
people also had their camping outfits
with them.
Tourists from the north claim that
the road north of Grants Pass pre
sents the greatest obstacle in travel
ing at the present time. This strech
Is not paved, and Is hard to travel
with automobiles. That th"' can
make the trip without serious draw
backs however, is evidenced by the
automobiles passing through here
every day. This sight of tcurlats
making a trip over the Pacific high
way north or south In the dead of
winter Is commented on by those who
remember the heartbreaking Journeys
of former years.
According to statements of thoso
who have come over the Siskiyou
mountains from the fouth the only
dlffclulty that confronts theia on the
road Is north of Dunsmuir and up the
mountains on the California side.
After they reach Oregon their trou
bles are at an end, as the state keeps
a man stationed on the highway who
sees that the road is opened whenevet
a snow storm hits the summit of the
mountains. With the fine paved high
way the Journey on the Oregon side is
a delight, even in winter.
H. S. BUILDING
IS 176 FEET
ABOVE VIAIN
An Interesting bit of Information
contained in an engineer's report
shows that the Oregon City high
school building is 176 feet above Main
and Twelfth streets, and that tho
Oreeon City high building and that
of the West Linn Union high build
Ing are almost exactly on the same
level. The point measured from by
the engineer was the stone steps of
the Bank of Oregon City, which steps
are claimed to be 43 feet above low
water mark In the Willamette irver.

OPEN DOORS
IN BUSINESS
THE DETECTIVE
This is a lucrative and interesting,
even exciting at times, work for w
men, which is but little understood.
It Is one which women with hei
genius for detail observation and
"putting two and two together" to
trrive at a conclusion, as well as her
so-called Intuition, Is especially filled
to succeed in. Aside from the above
qualifications it requires cool headed
cess, courage to undertake roysterl
oils enterprises, and common sense to
act wisely in emergencies, as well as
the power of keeping obstrusive
looking but wide awake and always
about where crowds assemble. The
detective must see and not be seen.
The old class detective who trails
a "victim" of somebody's evil design
and resorts to black-mall or works in
such business as ends in the divorce
court Is not the subject of this article.
It refers to the high grade profes
sional woman whose business Is to
prevent crime or lead to Its prompt
discovery before the harmful results
have opportunity to become effective.
The work of a detective takes many
forms. She may be in a department
stores, many of which have a staff of
house detectives who protect the
stock from being carired away by
thieving persons who make their liv
ing in that way. Sometimes an agency
takes care of a series of such stores.
She may be In the hotel or restaurant
dining room at meal time and after
theatres, where the hat, coat or fur
of patrons is more safe on account
of her presence. In many public
places, especially lavatories where
women remove their Jewelry to wash,
there la a need for the detective.
Every larg Jewelry store employs its
own detectives.
The Diplomatic Service' of the
United States as well as the Secret
Service employs many women. By
our present regulations only men can
take and pass the civil service exam
inations but these may employ women
as assitants. With women now shar
ing the ballott this injustice is certain
to be promptly removed. Women can
frequently serve where no man could
do the work without arousing sus
picion. The hours of detective work, ex
cept in the case of stores and hotel
detective, are very Irregular. Work
ing for an agency, the detective must
be " on the Job" when ever the neces
sity arises.
The successful detective recevles
from $3 to $10 a day depending on
for whom she works and the kind of
work she does. Expert work may de
mand even much more.
RACE RIOT

Ing police headquarters they will be!
afforded adequate protection."
Men, as well as women, were cau-
tioned to remain off the streets after
dark.
