Clackamas County
Accidents Numerous
In Clackamas county during thee
month of November, there were 0
accidents. This number is shown on
che reports made to Sheriff W. J. Wil.
son up to Nov IS With the month
but a little more than half gone, the
average is almost two a day
The list shows rhat four oJ the ac
cidents resulted in injuries to ocx-u-pant.-
of the macrines, and i.r.e to a
pedestrian. None of the accidents so
far this month havebeen fatal.
According to the bureau of the cen
sus of the department of commerce
at Washington, there were m Oregon
during the past year 1042 deaths due
to automobile accidents, a growth of
'24 over lf19. The report shows that
there were 9103 deaths resulting from
accidents caused by automobiles and
either motor vehicK-s, excluding motor
cycles, were recorded within the dearh
registration area of the United States,
which area contains 82 per cent of the
total population.
This number represents a death rate
of 3C.4 per lOO.Ol'O population, as
against 9.4 in 1919. 9 1 in 19IS. 8.9 in
5917, 7.3 in 1916, and 5 8 in 21H5. Be
tween 1915 and 1920, therefore, the
death rate per 100,'00 population from
motor vehicle accidents and injuries
increased by about four-fifths
Tre actual number of deaths result
ing from motor vehicle accidents in
the 25 states from which data for 19! 3
are available increased from 3571 in
that year to 7433 in 1920. the rate of
increase being 108.1 per cent.
During the same period, according
to data obtained from the Bureau of
Public Roads of the Department of
Agriculture, the number of registra
tions of automobiles, motor trucks and
commercial vehicles in the same sta'-5
increased from l?67,t)35 to 6.085, 15u,
the rate of increase being L-44.4 per
cent. The death rate per 1000 motor
verhicles in use in the 25 Ftates in
question decreased from 2 in 1915 to
1.2 in 1920. being only three-fifths as
s;reat in the later as ir the earner
year.
One new feature of the bill is that
the co-operation of territories, state-
and civil subdivisions thereof is lib
eralized far more than' in previous
acts, in the expenditure of appropria
lions for national forest, roads. Tlw
law, as heretofore permits the secre
tary of agriculture to receive co-oper
ation ' and Forest Service officials be
iieve that undoubtedly considerable
amounts will be offered, thereby au;;
menting forest rod construction.
"While the money received under
the Federal Highway Act will provide
funds for immediate and much needed
development of lines of cemmuication
in the National Forests," states Mr
Cecil, "a recent study made by the
Forest Service shows that over 13,0'VJ
miles of forest roads, estimated to
.;ost $77,000,000, are necessary to
complete the various state and county
highway systems within or adjacent
to the forests. -.Also, for roads and
trails of primary importance for the
protection and use of he Naional For
ests, some 40,0.10 miles of trails and
over 13,000 miles of roads -ill ulti
mateiy nave t" be constructed at a
cost of more tnan $63,00u,000 "
Bids have been recently let for the
completion of the grading on the gov
ernment portion of the Mt. Hood Loop
snd the McKeuzie Highway," Mr. Cecil
brought out.
The opening of the last stretch of
pavement, on the Canby-Barlow sec
tion of the Pacific Highway has been
delayed. The complete road will not
be opened to traffic for probably three
cr four weeks, according to the an
nouncement of tho state higbv-ny en
gineer's office.
The reason for the delay is that the
cement cures slowly during the pres
ent wet weather, and it was found best
to give it an extra two weeks to
harden. The bridge over the Molalla
is also being surfaced.
When the road is completed, it will
form practically an unbroken link to
-.he south. Further on, in Marion and
Jane counties, the Pacific Highway Is
being surfaced f o that the road to the
California line will soon be one of the
foremost byways in tihe state
Within Clackamas county, south of
Oregon ci,:y tne road is paved to Can
by, broken only by the planking on
the south end outlet. At Canby, de
touring over the old road, the motorist
encounters rough macadam, but this
is only for a little more than one
mile. From Barlow to Salem the pave
v.ier.t is unbroken for 27 miles, save a
35i foot section at Pudding river.
In the construction of the highwav
to the south of Oregon City the con
tractors have had the advantage cf
en exceptional summer. There has
been very little bad weather to hinder
the work, and the rain did not set in
until after the pavement had been
layed. Work is new progressing upon
the laying of rock shoulders on the
highway, and also on the west side
stretch that, runs from Oregon City,
through Oswego to Portland
With the completion of the new Wil
lamette river bridge it) is expected thai
the entire road wUl be paved. ..There
is at present on the West Side High
way a 3000 foot pap at Bolton, but
the commission li&s agreed to pavo
this The only portion yet remaining
uncontracted for is the south end out
let from Oregon City. The state has
agreed fo lay the pavement" If Oregon
City will prepare the grade. Altho no
arrangements have been definitely
made as yet it is expected that somi
solution tc the problem cf financing
the work will he found by the thin?
that the new Oregon City-West Linn
bridge is open to traffic.

Synopsis of Chapters 1 to 26 inclusive.
An attempt tc steal the magnificient
collection of family jewels from tha
French chateau of Madame Eve de
Montalais, a young American whose
husband had been killed in tihe war,
was made by "Tupont," the new chauf
feur, who proved to be apache.
Dupont's attack upon the family was
frustrated;, however, by the timely
appearance of. "'Andre Iuchemin.
whose real name is Michael Lanyard,
alias "The Lone Wolf," a reformed
criminal who had just been discharged
from the British Secret Service.
Lanyard was wounded by Dupont
and cared for in the chateau.
An automobile party, seeking shelter
from a storm at night, visited the
chateau. The strange visitors made
themselves known as Whitaker Monk
and Phinuit, both Americans, and the
Comte and Comtesse de Lorgnes. The
jewels mysteriously vanish. Lanyard,
realizing that he would be suspected,
revealed his identity to Eve, who as
sured him of her confidence. He set
out to recover the jems for her.
The clues led him to the compart
ment of the adventurous and beautitu!
Liane Delorme when he arrived in
time to save her from an attack by the
apache, Bmporit, who is discovered to
be Popinot, son of a famous criminal.
In gratitude, Liane undertakes to put
Lanyard on the trail of the jewels.
Assuming the roles of brother and
sister, Liane conveyed Lanyard by
motor to Cherbourg, where they board
ed the yacht Sybarite. There Lanyarl
found Monk and Phinuit, under
orders of his protectress and appar
ently in possession of tjie missing
iems.
He learns from them that the yacht
is being employed for smuggling pur
poses. On the seventh night of the
voyage Liano tells Lanyard that she
loves him huti he believes that ber
flepl.iration is but oreter.se. As she
leaves tiimt to go below, she catches a
glimpse of a figure fche believes is Du-
nont (Poninot). With a cry of terror
she falls into a faint. The vessel is
earched, but Popinot is not founu.
The three conspirators inform Lan-
vard that he must join them or suffer
dire consequences. He promises to give
them his answer when land is reached.
Lanyard has at last evoivea a piau
to get the jewels Mr. Mussey, tnt
chief engineer, plays into his hands by
proposing to rob the safe. Lanyard
tricks him into turning off the ship
lights. Instead of robbing the .safe.
Lanyard tampers with the compass so
itint it does not point north. It is in
evitable, then, that the yacht, on ac
count of dense fog. must go ashore m
entering Long Island Sound. It de
velops that Mussey is popinot s tooi.
tince when the lights go out, Popinot
iw discovered to intercept lanyaru.
He attacts Monfc instead, and chokes
him severely before being shot by Phi
nuit. Lanyard apears and offers his as
sistance.
HOW THE MO.NTALAIS JEWELS
MIGHT BE PvECOVERED.
BY
HUGO HAMILTON
Lanyard's first act was to examine
Popinot. The last bullet had penetrat
ed the apache's brain. Lanyard as
Mired Liane liiat Popinot was dead,
and she permit;,ed him to assit her to
her stateroom..
Ca va bien. thought Lanyard; Popi
not dead, and Monk, who might frus
trate hisi plans, incapacitated for some
hours, as useless as the ruir.ed com
pass. I
Mr. Swain appeared on the run,
and immediately took charge. Hasten
ing to the bridge, he took the abandon
ed wheel, and put the yacht on what
the compass irulicatqd as the course.
Lanyard returned to his chair near
the taffrail. From now on he did not
wish to be very far from the stern cf
the yacht. Events were due to happen,
and he had but one thing to do to be
ready. Under cover of the fog he glid
ed to where the small power tender
swung from the davitis, and did some
thing to the falls which would, to a
sailor, have been significant. Again in
his chair. Lanyard waited The yacht
was proceeding under slow bell, and
soundings were being taken as rapidly
as was possible.
Then came a violent clang of the
engine telegraph, a hoarse shout from
the bridge, a shock followed by the
crasrti of falling masts, the bow of
the yacht rose perceptibly into the air.
and amidst the sounds of splintering
wood, breaking glass, ruptured steel,
tscape of steam, and shouts varying
from fear to rage, the Sybarite piled
herself upon the rocks of the Long in
land shore.
"Phinuit and Monk rushed for Liane'?
stateroom.
"The jewels'!" Monk gasped.
"I have them." answered Liane.
"Then for a boat," he cried. "The
lower tender."
But they found the tender gone.
"That dammed Lanvard," cried
Monk.
"To hell with him," said Phinuit
"We have the jewels. Ge,t to another
boat."
Hidden by the fog, Lanyard, about to
start the motor of the tender, ciiri-
cusly enough almost duplicated Phi
nuit's remark. v
"To hell with them. I have thc
iewels, and they have my answer," he
muttered.
They had not hoodwinked him with
him. This set had been made prior to
the robbery, and menaced by Popinot
and Lanyard they had placed them in
the safe as a blind. The real jewels
had been placed in a shoe box in
Liane's room. Lanyard had located
them, and had substituted for them in
equivalent weight. The jewels hidden
in a locker in the tender, re had non
chalantly awaited the crucial moment.
Lanyard grinned as he pictured the
consternation of the trio, when, if they
succeeded in getting to safety with the
box, they should discover the nature of
its contents.
And now," muttered Lanyard, as
the motor answered his erlorts, to
creep up this coast, find a harbor, and
a train to'New York. Thon a cable
gram to Aiaaame; arrange wim iu-
French consul io get me, with these
ewels, on board a steamer for France,
and after that, who knows?"
GETOUTaGETUNDER
An Emergency Fuse -
A temporary fuse can easily be
made by wrapping a small leaf of tin
foil, the kind that comes with chew
ing gum or cigarettes, , around the
burned fuse and reinserting it in the
fuse. box. One or two layers of the
foil are sufficient. '
Play in Wheels
Every car owner ought to make it
i. practice to test the wheels for side
play at least three or four times a
year. " Side play performs . a double
vicious role, for it causes txcessive
bearing wear and tire wear as well.
If the motorist will jack cp each
wheel in turn and grasping it firmly
push and pull it, any side motion will
be readily apparent. In many cars
wheel bearings are adjustable to caro
for just such trouble
Warns of Lubrication Lack
Blown by suction from the intake
manifold, a whistle has been invented
to warn a motorist that the circula
tion of lubricating oil in his car has
stopped.
Retarding Spark Injurious
Never retard 1 he. spark to slo"
down the speed of an engine. This
practice causes carbon formation and
pitting of valves, in addition to plac
ing more work on the engine and in
causing a waste of fuel. If you desiro
to slow the speed of the engine, close
the throttle, and as the engine speed
dies, regulate the spark accordingly.

Loose Nuts Make Rattle
On many makes of cars the wind
shield is held in place by steel arms
which protrude through the ccwl and
are fastened on the under side by a
nut and lock nut. Sometiir.es these
nuts work loose from the vibration
present, with the result that the shield
is allowed to move slightly. The first
evidence of this is seen in cracked
finish in the vicinity of the windshield
supports. In making the ncer-sary pe
riodic inspection for loose nuts and
bolts the windshield supports should
net be forgotten.
