FAMOUS CAR TRAVELS ,
AROUND UNITED STATES
After five years of almost incessant
travel over practically every part of
the country, the famous "Fifty-Fifty
Cruiser," designed by J. W. Brashears,
Jr.,- of Washington, D. C-. a former
officer in the Engineer Corps with the
A. E. F. in France, is again speed
ing west on a journey that will take
it around the United States.
The "fifty-fifty," according to
.uUi.ira ou p0r cent mo
bility and 50 per cent comfort and con-
venience. The Dodge Brothers chassis
Dodge Brothers chassis
on which he has set up his strange
looKing crart, wa9 bought in 1915.
urashears (recently made some im
provements in his "hotelmobile"
probably he installed hot and cold wa
ter, bath, etc. and incidentally lock
ed over the power plant.
"Close inspection developed three
astonishing facts," he wrote. "The
pump shaft after running . five years
in water, remained absolutely bright
and free from rust; .003 oversize pis
tons would not go into tUe cylinders,
and the driving spur and differential
showed no visible wear." He says
he hag frequently averaged 25 miles
a gallon under test, ' and adds that
the moderate priced chain fabric tires
on the car have averaged more than
10,000 miles. "Accurate figures for
this cannot be given because I have
never worn out any tires," this tourist
writes. "I still use three that are four
years old as spares."
Brashears and bis car have . been
the subject of many newspaper and
iagazine articles and now he says
the movies are making overtures to
him. His car is built on. an economi
cal plan, he says, and iB within read-,
of the average car owner who enjoys
a hike about the country.
The machine, has a homelike ap
pearance and a general air of service
ability. The cruiser body is six feet
four Inches wide and ten feet long.
By using the front seat as a bed across
the width of the machine more space
is permitted for cooking; purposes. To
get this width the body i3 --extended
five inches beyond the fenders and
running boards on each side. The
headroom inside is six feet The
sides of the body are covered about
three feet high with galvonized iron,
27 gauge, fastened with bolts where
ever it touches the framing wood,
which is of light, dry oak.
In the rear is a door 30 inches wide,
for use while camping, when the front
doors are blocked by the seat, which
is reversed and serves as a couch.
In the rear door is a small glass win
dow which gives the driver a view
of the roa,j in rear of him. The seat
in the front,, which is also used as a
couch, is 26 inches high and 18 inches
wide. When it is moved forward to
the dash and the back laid flat a bed
44 inehes by 6 feet 2 inches is formed
Under this is a galvanized iron box
18" inches wide, 14 inches deep and
the full length of the seat, used for
storage and protection of clothing.
Leading; from the front seat to the
rear door is a clear floor space of
7 feet long and 2 feet wide. On
tke left side is a trunk 3 y2 feet long
by 20 inches wide, and a table cover
ed with oil colth to carry clothes and
also serve as a kitchen table. Directly
back of this is a two burner gasoline
stovs connected directly with the
main gasoline tank, which Is of the
air pressure type, holding 15 gallons
which provides fuel for both the stove
and the motor of the car.
Opposite the stove is the washstand,
30 by 20 inches, with a large space
under ft for bulky but lightweight
cooking utensils, etc. On the right
side opposite the clothing trunk and
of similar size, is another trunk par-
tioned to carry two extra tires and
ample space to carry provisions for
two weeks.
Under the main floor forward Is a
sawaust insulated box capable of
holding 50 pounds of Ice end provided
with a drawpipe through the bottom.
The cruiser is equipped with elec
trie lights, a fireless , cooker, books
and a clock. It is a snug little home,
which eliminates even the necessity
or searching! for camp grounds, to say
nothing of hotels.

Aged Brightwood
Farmer Is Found
Dead in Cabin
Pankratins J. Marugg, aged 78 years
who has been residing In a little cab
in on his 30-aere place about three
miles from Brightwood on the Mount
Hood road, was found dead by his
friend, carl M: Raithel, who - lived
about two. miles away, Tuesday even
ing. The man had committed sui
cide by sitting on a chopping block
with a 30-30 rifle and blowing his en
tire hea,j from his body.
Before committing the deed the man

of his cabin which adjoined his wood
shed, and it was with much difficul
ty that these were opened when the
investigation was made while hunt

clock was still going but about run
down, and it is believed that the deed
was done a few hours before the body
was found.
The last person to hae seen Mar
ugg alive was Raithel, who made it
a custom to visit the old gentlemen
at least twice a week and offer any
assistance that was needed. Friday
evening be called at the Marugg cab
in and at that time Marugg walked
with difficulty and it is believed that
in order to end his sufferings, he had
decided on suicide, for every indica
tion pointed towards care made in
carrying out this plan.
When papers were not removed
from the mailbox, the carrier became
suspicious and inquired of Raithel if
he haa seen Marugg recently, and
when making an investigation found
the man dea(L
Coroner O. A. Pace, of this city,
was summoned Tuesday evening, and
left immediately for the scene of the
tragedy, but did not hold an inquest,
as It was. a plain case of suicide since
all the windows and doors had been
nailed from the inside.

the request of the aged man that he
be buried on his tract of land, and
his wishes will be carried out by

friend a good Christian burial Thurs
day afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Little is known of Marugg, "-except
that his wife died many years ago,
and that there are relatives living
in Switzerland, but little ; is known of

EUGENE, June 1. Reports of of
ficers and committee work took up
most of the state grange session here
today. State Master Spence read his
annual report this morning which was
ordered printed in phamphlet form, al
so was submitted to th public press
for publication .in full. The legislative
report praised the last session of the
Oregon legislature as one of the best
in years, and with a representation of

a start' and urged him to "keep-a-going!
" This committee urged the fol
lowing: "We recommend about one
thousand salaried nuisances be detach
ed from th public treasury and be
compelled to work for a living. They
serve no - useful purpose, but are
vampires sucking the life-blood of in
dustry. Fish, game, fire.i peace and
jail wardens, etc., to add finitum were
mentioned as practically needless ex
penses. The following causing much
merriment: "It takes a warden and
five deputies, two doctors and a jury
to hang a man and when it is all over
the poor devil at the end of the rope
is better of than we because he does

State Obligations
Are Between Fifty
And Sixty Millions
SALEM, Or., June 1. Reports thf
are coming in to the office of the
state tax commissioner indicate that
the total financial obligation of the
state, including bonds and other se
curities of tne state, municipalities, ir.
rigation districts and other subdivi
sions aggregates from ?u0,000,000 to
$60,000,000. Of this amount the
state's obligation is about $25,000,000.
At the suggestion of L. J. Gold
smith, one of the members of the tax
supervising and conservation commis
sion for Multnomah county, Frank K.
Lovell, state tax commissioner, is now
making a survey to ascertain the to
tal amount of the obligation. Mr.
Goldsmith made the suggestion in a
letter to Governor Olcott.
County clerks who have been asked
for data are said to have been prompt
'in answering for the most part. Oth
er municipal authorities, however, are
not so prompt.
The biggest obligation is due to
highway bonds apparently. This is
the first time such a survey has been
made in Oregon. It will probably
be completed in July.
