TIIE MORNING OREGONTAX. TUESDAY, JULY 1.1, 1013. AUTO GOES AROUND MOUNT HOOD l!i DAY Pathfinding Car Goes to The Dalles and Returns by Way of Central Oregon. RUNNING TIME IS 11 HOURS Trip for The Oregonian Circles Peat for Unt Time la Iay;'I.oop of r 235.7 Miles Takes In Wide Sfcope of Fine Country. r BI CHESTER A. MOORE8. Automobile and good roads history was made Sunday, when Henry Wag ner, Jr., on a pathnndins trip for The Oregonian. drove his Packard "48" the full lengrth of the Columbia River Highway from Portland to The Dalles, south through Central Oregon to Tygh Valley and Waplnitia, and, completing the circuit of Mount Hood, drove over the old Barlow trail past Government Camp and Rhododendron Tavern into "Portland. The start was made at 6:30 Sunday morning and the loop of 235.7 miles was concluded before dark. Authorities all along the route agree that yester day's trip is the first to be made by automobile around Mount Hood and the flrat combination of the famous Co lumbia River Highway and Mount Hood trips. Four on History-SI skins; Trip. In the car with "Heinle" "Wagner, the pilot, were his father, Henry Wagner, Sr.. owner of the car: E. J. Clark, vice president of the Frank C. Bisss Com pany, and the writer. "After touring across the continent several times. 1 am convinced that the loop around Mount Hood is .the greatest trip that is offered in the entire coun try, if not the entire world." said Mr. Wagner last night. "This trip In volves every conceivable variety of scenery and every variety of road, be ing, in fact, a miniature transconti nental tour." While traveling over the Columbia Highway we viewed what is regarded by experts as being the scenic highway" of the world; then in the Hood River and Mosier territory we had a full view of the world-famous orchards in a beautiful valley that is framed by three snow-capped peaks. Hood, Adams and Jefferson: later we passed through the yellow wheat lands of Wasco County and got a touch of real sage-brush country, a land that is so desolate that it fascinates; then, with Mount Hood, as a pivot for many miles, we swung through a picturesque mountain coun try over a road that was used by the Oregon pioneers with their ox teams more than a half century ago. The en trance was made to Portland through Marmot. Bull Run, Gresham and the Powell Valley road. Raasing Time 11 Honrs. The total elapsed time of the entire trip was considerably less than 16 hours and- the actual running time was ap proximately 11 hours. The latter fig ure will not be determined definitely until the first log of the trip is made today from the notes taken by the writer on the trip. Suffice it to say here that more than an hour was taken out for luncheon, a half hour for a stop at The Dalles, another half hour delay necessitated in Tygh, Valley Canyon, when eight wagonloads of gypsles were tied up with us on a nar row grade, over a half hour for two blowouts, and two hours or more for taking pictures for The Oregonian and for incidentals. The mere fact that Mr. Wagner took 40 pictures on the trip Indicates how many short stops were made along the route. We arrived at The Dalles, 93 miles out of Portland, at 5 minutes before 10 o'clock. By computing our stops roughly we figured that the actual running time to Hood River, 69 miles from Portland, was three hours and the time to The Dalles four hours. At Waplnitia, on the other side of Mount Hood, our speedometer registered 140.6 miles for the trip that far. Our only meal on the trip was eaten along Bear Creek In the heart of the Cascade Mountains back of Mount Hood, short ly before 2 o'clock. At Government Camp the speedometer showed 177.7 miles for the day and the clock 10 minutes past 5. When the pathfind ing car pulled up at the door of The g Oregonian building last night a few minutes after 9 o'clock the mileage register stood at 235.7 miles! Trip Not for Amateurs. Although an experienced driver with a dependable machine could possibly duplicate Mr. Wagner's performance of yesterday, the feat is not recommended for the trial of amateur or mediocre drivers. The trip, particularly if it is to be made in the seemingly impossible space of one day, requires a driver of transcontinental class and experience. For the most part the Columbia River Highway was found in fine condition, although there are some difficult grades, especially the pull around Mitchells Point. Now rfVat the way has been blazed by -Mr. "Avagner, however, many will want to attempt the trip, and for that reason The Oregonian .will publish a detailed report of the trip, together with a. log of the loop, in the automo bile section next Sunday. ASSAULT VERSIONS. DIFFER Jealous Husband Admits Chastising MeMinnville Rancher. With a black eye, a bruised jaw, several teeth knocked out. minor abra sions and scalp wounds. A. H. Adams, aged 48. of MeMinnville. was found on the 'street near the Southern Hotel early Sunday morning. "I've been beaten and robbed." he told- the police, and was removed to the Good Samaritan Hospital for treat ment. Robert P. Moran, of the Southern Hotel, was arrested yesterday, charged with committing assault and battery upon Adams. He told Detectives Tichenor and Howell, who made the arrest, a different story. He said he had come home late Saturday night and had found Adams in Mrs. Moran's apatt merits. Confronted by this, Adams admitted that-he had been ir a room with Mrs. If or an. but was only talking with her regarding her employment as a house keeper for himself - and child on a ranch near MeMinnville, if Moran would not object. Moran did not deny beating Adams in a jealous rage. ... ANOTHER EARLE ACCUSED Wife Says Mate Has Affinities, as Did His Brother. VEW TORK. July 6. Ferdinand Pinney Karle, the artist of "affinity" fame, will now have an opportunity of defending his brother, William P. 8. Earle. the Fifth avenue photographer, as William defended him in" some of Ferdinand's matrimonial entangle ments. Guggenheimeh, Vntermyer Sc. Marshall today brought suit in the Su preme Court against the photographer on the part of Mrs. Valerie Damon de Bloise Karle, asking for a divorce from William on the ground that he has had two unnamed affinities. William P. 8. Karle was married in 1905 to Miss Valerie Damon de Blola. daughter of Mrs. Julia de Blois. of Brooklyn. The event was especially noticeable from the fact that, while the guests were getting ready to show er the departing pair with rice and old shoes, .and trying to attach to their carriage a sign reading "We're Just married." Mr. and Mrs. Karle climbed out of the skylight and slipped out an other way. Later, when Ferdinand Pinney Karle's propensity for affinities attracted pub lic attention. William P. 3. Karle de fended his brother in the following manner: "Many men have married as many times as my brother and other men have married more times than he, and yet nobody said anything about it. Who has a right to say exactly how many times a man may wed with pro priety? It is all on account of the use of the word 'affinity.' If it had not been for that unfortunate word the newspapers would never have made any such fuss over my brother's per sonal affairs." DR. ROBERG TO ACCEPT FHYSICI.l.X, BACK FROM CHINA, TO SUCCEED DR. WHITE. Announcement Is Made Duties as State Health Officer Likely Will Be Taken Ip Late In September, f Dr. David X. Roberg, who arrived in Portland Saturday from China, where he has been doing research work for the state the past two years, announced Sunday night that he would accept the place of State Health Officer, to which he was elected. . Dr. Roberg was chosen by the State Board of Health several months ago to succeed Dr. Calvin S. White. Dr. Roberg said that he probably would assume the duties of his new office late in September or the first of October. - He said that there was no specified time for the change and that the matter would probably be decided by the inclinations of himself and Dr. White. The health officer-elect said that-he was not prepared to announce what his policy would be or whether there would be any radical changes in the conduct of the office after he has assumed control. He said that his first duty would be to get into working order the new system of registering vital statistics, which was provided for by a bill passed by the last Legislature. This bill provides for the registering of the statistics by deputies who are directly under the control of the state health officer instead of by the county health officers as heretofore.

Madam, Allow Me To Introduce the New Post Toasties You may have eaten "corn flakes" but you have never tasted any that equal the New Post Toasties. These new flakes, madam, are crisp and flakey, and have a substance and toastie flavour, a snap and zest that make them distinctive. Dainty to be sure in their sweetness, the New Post Toasties have a body and firmness that don't mush down when cream or milk is added; and a tine ripe-corn flavour that makes one feel that here, at last, is something really new and good to eat. New Post Toasties selected Indian corn, prepared for the table as it was never prepared before. Your grocer has them now. Buy and Try and Smile Awhile
