OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, MARCH II, 1921.
TWO COUPLES TAKE
TRACTOR IN ALASKA
SEATTLE, Wash., March. 5. A
90-mile double-honeymoon trip on a
tractor through the wilds of Alaska
with the thermometer 20 or more de
grees below zero, will be the novel
experience of James E. Barrack, and
George Ralph Keyes, who, with their
brides were passengers for Seward
Tuesday morning on the Alameda.
Barrack, who is connected with the
Sampson Hardware company of Pair
banks, was confronted with the prob
lem of taking a tractor and about
two tons of hardware into Fairbanks
before the opening of navigation, and
hig bride, Ruth Y. Wilson, famous
as the woman who climbed the se
cond highest peak on Mount McKln
ley, suggested the use of the tractor
for the honeymoon trip. Keyes, also
a new benedict, who is going in with
Barrack, decided to take his wife, a
young woman formerly of Tacoma,
and make it a double honeymoon.
The trip from Seward will be made
on the government railroad to the
end of steel, where the tractor will
be put into service. The distance to
be covered by the tractor is 91 miles,
the first 45 of which i3 being used at
present by two caterpillar tractors
hauling freight The rest of the dis
tance, however, is only open to horse
and dog teams and the tractor will
have to break its own trail on the
road.
The trip over the Chitina trail, a
distance of nearly 300 miles, was
made by a tractor in the winter of
1919. Barrack's tractor will draw a
number four bobsled as a trailer.
Counting the freight and baggage,
the sled and tractor will have a load
of approximately two and one-half,
tons.
Auto Show Goes
Big in San Francisco
The Pacific automobile show, San
Francisco, which has come to be the
b?T annual industrial gathering foi
the Pacific region, celebrated its fifth
Anniversary during the week wnen
the doors of the exposition audito
rium were open each day to admit
a milling, joyous and optimistic
throng, writes Chris J. Helin in the
San Francisco Examiner. The annual
Bay City show was held last week
and reports indicate it was unusually
successful. Helin continues:
This year's exposition of the auto
motive Industry for the region was
on the cards for a "strictly business"
show, but it has long sinced developed
that there can be no gathering in :
San Francisco that will tend strictly
to "business."
This is not San Francisco's way.
The 1921 auto show proved it.

Durant to Start
Branch on Coast
SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 5. The new
organization, the Durant Motors, Inc
is well under way on the Pacific coast.
While W. C. Durant, founder of the
General Motors corporation and rec
ognized as the master builder of mo
tor cars, is rounding out the organi
zation in the east and establishing
the main plant at Flint, Mich., his son
R. C. Durant, is building the com
pany's, interests here. Durant Jr., has
been in southern California during
the past week in the interests of the
new concern and C. M. Stevens, his
assistant, has been in the northwest.
It has not been definitely decided
where the coast plant will be located,
but it is more than likely that the
factory will go to Oakland or South
San Francsico. Stevens looked over
some attractive sites offered in the
north, both in Portland and Seattle,
but his report as well as the reports
on South Francisco, Los Angeles, San
Jose and Stockton, will all be carried
east for the final consideration of W
C. Durant.
Teaching Women to
Care for Batteries
"Very few women have a natural
bent for mechanics," says Mr. Hilgers
local Willard Service Station Dealer,
"but when it comes to taking care of
a storage battery they average up a
great deal better than the man."
"It is easy to make a woman under
stand that a battery has to be taken
care of, and after this point is made
clear, she usually takes particular
pains to follow directions 3nd do regu
larly the few simple things that are
necessary to keep the battery in A-l
shape.
"Perhaps it is because women are
used to caring for plants that they do
so well in caring for batteries, but
what ever the cause may be the re
sult is a longer lived more useful bat
tery. "Another thing about most women
is that they do not abuse the battery
by keeping the motor spinning when
the engine refuses to start right away.
They are not satisfied, as a rule, un
less everything about the engine and
starting equipment is working perfec
tly, and when it isn't they usually
take a short cut to the nearest service
station to find out just what the dif
ficulty is."
Low Ah Jim to
"Gain Helpful Study"
Low Ah Jim lives in Malacca.
Straits Settlements, across the Pa
cific from us. But Low reads the
papers and net long ago noticed an
item in a Los Angeles paper, stating
that a free tire repair school has been
inaugurated by the Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Company of California, at Los
Angeles.
"Although I could not attend youi
school personally which is beyond my
reach," he writes, "I presume that
with proper supply of volumes con
taining all the instructions and illus
trations in every detail of the work, I
might just as well to gain my success
ful study."
Then he asks for a copy of the
Goodyear Tire Repair Manual which
is a text book about tire repairing.
Low Ah Jim employs an oriental
style in handling the English langu
age, but the point of all this is that
the use of tires is extending to the re
mote parts of the earth and wherever
tires go there are opportunities for
the tire repairman. The natives of
the isles of the sea are as quick to
grasp opportunity as their brethern
in America.

TO FIND OUT AUTO
IS INDFSPENSiBLE
The farmer of today has come to
regard motor "transportation as his
best friend. He no longer thinks of
his car as an indulgence as a means
o frecreation alone but as a neces
sary' part of his farm equipment.
The farmer's greatest problem has
always been time. His day is long,
yet, it has never been long enough
for him to do all his work and stiil
have the margin of time for relaxation
like the ordinary business man. And
where other men work in an area oi
square feet, farm operations cover a
corresponding number of acres.
The office man steps to his filing
cabinets, the factory man to his ma
chines, and the executive keeps in
touch with every department 'through
the telephone on his desk. But the
man on the farm must move from one
field to another, and the farmers, to
personally superintend their work at
separated points, must cover distances
which total miles.
This all takes' time time that
might be spent in more intensive pro
duction on the part of the employe
and in more important business on
the part of the farmer himself.
Furthermore, the business man is
usually located closer to his market.
He is nearer ' the center of ' every
convenience. The farmer has always
been handicapped by the time it takes
to get his products into town and
get there himself to conduct business.
The motor car has shortened the
farmer's distances It has reduced
the time necessary to cover them. In
point of convenience and efficiency
it has placed farming on a plane with
every other progressive business. The
up-to-date farmer who is conducting
his operations on a business basis
uses his passenger car and truck all
day long and more. It has shorteneu
his hours of work. It has enabled
him to get more done in an equal
number of hours.
STATE OF NEW YORK
WOULD TAX HEAVY
TRUCKS OFF ROADS
ALBANY, N. Y., Mar. 5. "Heavy
motor trucks will be taxed off the
roads," under the plan of legislation
being drafted here to to meet the re
commendations of Governor Miller's
anuual message. No secret is made
of the intention of the legislation
the lawmakers taking the view that
the use of heavy trucks imposes pro
hibitive upkeep costs, and that the
best way to check this is to tax the
heavy vehicles out of existence.
Under the proposed legislation an
nual fees of $500 are fixed for trucks
for six ton, $700 for seven-ton and
$800 for eight-ton. Trucks of less
than five-ton capacity would be per
mitted to operate for Soo to $90 a
year.
License fees for passenger cars un
der the new proposed rate would no?
exceed 10 cents per horsepower.
whereas the present rate is 25 cents.
The bulk of the tax would apply on
car , value and it is estimated would
add about $2,000,000 annually to thk.
state's motor revenue.
"The high tax on motor trucks Is
being proposed with the deliberate
purpose of putting an end to the use
of super-motor trucks on our roads,'
said Senator Lowman, chairman oi
the senate committee on internal af
fairs. "We cannot drive them off the
roads, but we propose to tax them off
They tear up the road3 frightfully
and make not only the upkeep of th
roads but the cost of construction and
maintenance of bridges along the
state roads prohibitive. The interests
involved must be compelled by the
only means at our disposal to dis
tribute the weight of their loads and
use of smaller trucks."
DEALER SEES MORE

Moore stated that he observed more
automobiles! on Market street, San

ADAMS NOT AFRAID
OF BANDITS, ALTHOUGH
WARNED MANY TIMES
Frank R. Adams, famous author,
playwright, traveler and soldier, re
cently completed a motor tour from
Whitehall, Mich., to Santa Barbara,
Cal., and it proved so interesting that
he could not restrain himself from
writing a letter about it. His letter
is directed to Ray Long, editor of
Cosmopolitan in which his fascinat
mg; short stories are now appearing.
He writes:
"Once fifteen years ago when I fol
lowed the Santa Fe Trail on horse
back, the principal objects of interest
adjacent to the beaten track were the
skulls, vertebrae, ribs and other re
pair parts of cattle. Now after travers
ing the same ground by motor, my
principal memory is of almost equally
numerous abandoned automobiles,
some buried, some overturned, other3
smashed and looted. There must be a
story in each one
"Was warned all along the line to
beware of bandits, but no one tried to
rob me of my ten dollars. Probably
all the professions are selling! oil
stock in the new boom towns.
"If your Americanism wabbles the
least bit, the' medicine is a trip from
coast to coast by automobile. In no
other way can you realize the tre
menduous extent of the land you own
its breadth, itsj heights, and the
depth of its mud,' especially in Okla
boma. Also advise crossing Glorieta
Pass, New Mexico, by winter moon
light. If you don't slip you will carry
away a lasting thrill.
"Was uniformly impressed by effic
iency and courtesy of western garage
men. Am in favor of a movement to
deport some of them to some eastern
cities I could name.
"It was a luxuriousjy upholstered,
high-powered four-cylinder Dodge
Brothers' open face caboose as did the
trick. No repairs, no adjustments, al
most no gasoline. Kept perfect time
all the way. Short wheelbase, handy
in moutain passes. Car would meet
itself on some of the turns."

WOMAN SUES
EX-HUSBAND
FOR $20,000
Madga Olson entered suit Jiere yes
terday asainst her ex-husband, Sven
Olson to secure judgment in the sum
of $2,000 for alleged back alimony,
when she was awarded $50 per month
from Olson by a divorce decree hand
ed down on May 14, 1917, in South
Dakota. She also asks judgment
against her former husband for $20,
000, as alleged damages for not re
marrying her as he promised, ana
on other grounds-
She claims in her complaint asking
for $20,000 that after they were di
vorced in 1917, they agreed to live to-
remarry her when he had sold out a
pool hall he owned. She further
states that she went back to him ex
pecting to be married, when he fin
ished up the deal. According to the
complaint he kept putting the cere
mony off from time to time, and that
in August last year, another child was
born to her while she and her ex
husband were living together. When
she again asked him to carry out tha
contract, he refused she says.
The couple came to Oregon City
some time ago from' California, and
it is reported that Olson was inter
ested in a pool hall on Main street
here. According to her complaint in
the circuit court, two children were
born from the former marriage, ana
later one died. At the time she se
cured the divorce in South Dakota,
the children were awarded her by the
court, and Olson was ordered to pay
$50 per month for their maintenance.
She alleges that he has not paid this
amount for some time, although she
lived with him after the divorce ex
pecting to marry him again according
to his promise.
Brownell & Seivers and Livy Stipp
are the attorneys for the plaintiff.
