THE MERITS of the
Peerless four and six
cylinder cars are nev
er so fully appreciat
ed as when encountering con
gested traffic, steep hills and
bad roads, at which times its
quiet, smooth-running motor
does its work, no matter how
strenuous, without any appar
ent effort, giving one the im
pression of resistless power,
simple control and perfect bal
ance, all of which conditions
prove that the 1908 Peerless
has forged ahead of its compet
itprs. No other car, is so per
fectly equipped to meet all ex

and the state at large. Call

the many advantages pos
sessed by the "Peerless."

COURT .DENIES A NON-SUIT
Welsh Damage Case Must Go to the
' Federal Jury.
Judge ' Wolverton, yesterday. In the
United States Circuit Court denied" the
application for a non suit in the case
of the next friend of . Michael J. Welsh
against the Barber Asphalt Paving Com
pany. A brother of Welsh, who was
killed- at the Barber plant is suing to re-'
cover J7500 damages for his death and the
case is 'being stubbornly fought by Judge
W- D. Penton. for the paving company
and Henry E. McGinn for the plaintiff.
Judge Fenton quoted many authorities
and argued one whola afternoon in sup
port of his application for non suit.
Judge Wolverton held that the prepon
derance of Federal. Court decisions
favored the contention of the corporation
and that the Oregon statute under which
the action was brought did not specifically
repeal the "assumption of risk." The
court refused to grant the : non suit on
the ground that a question of fact was
involved, which must be determined
the Jury.

PORTLAND is to have one of the
most attractively situated country
clubs west of New Tork. It
will be the Rock Island. Within the
past month the Rock Island Club has
been Bold for $25,000 to a number of
prominent Portland business and pro
fessional men and it is their intention
to make the club of the same high
standard as the Arlington Club and the
University Club. The men who have
purchased the club from its former
incorporators have in turn incorpo
rated for J30.000 and will limit the
membership to 300. Each member
by paying J100 becomes a stockholder
in the club and by this method, the new
incorporators believe that the club,
with the improvements contemplated,
will be the best-equipped in 'the coun
try. Nature designed Rock Island for a
country club, and there is no prettier
spot in the whole of the Pacific North
west than this little isiu.ua that sits
serene within sixty yards of the east
bank of the Willamette River. Ever
since Portland was named. Rock Island
lias been one of the pleasure spots for
the tired city folk who loved the water.
At one time It could be reached only
by -water, but within the past few years,
since the Kock Island Club was organ
ized by A. Reffllng and several others
a pontoon bridge has been built from
the east bank. Boat landings were
built and the island became the home
of many people who spend their Sum
mers in house-boats. This same plan
will be carried out by the new officers,
and In addition they will build a garage
for automobiles and a stable for horses
and carriages. For the present these
new additions will be located on - the
cast bank.' but it is the hope of the
tifficers that next year they will have a
ferry, large enough to carry vehicles,
running: from the west bank of the
river.
The officers of the new Rock Island j
Club, who were ejected at a recent meet
ing are: President. Chester G. Mur
phy; vice-president, Gay Lombard;
treasurer, W. H. Chapin; secretary,
James R. McCraken. The other mem
bers of the board are v. H. Warrens,
Walter B. Honeyman and A. Reffllnr.
Already the club has a membership of
over . loo, and more than enough have
pledged to join the club to make up the
necessary 300. All the members who "have
houseboats will be urged to moor their
boats at the island, and next year, unless
plans miscarry, a number of cottages will
dot the island and will be rented to mem
bers desiring- to live on the island with
their families.
The opening for members and Invited
guests has been set for Saturday night.
May 9. This is the night of the full
moon, and the board of directors has
chartered one of the large river steamers
for the occasion, and the trip by water to
and from the island will add to the pleas
ure of the opening of the club.
After a good deal of persuasion, the
board of directors finally prevailed upon
L. El Martinei to become the club stew
ard. . Martinez Is one of- the best known
stewards on the Coast, having been for a
long time connected with the Arlington
Club and at the Portland Hotel. He will
have full charge of the club, and those
who know Martinez know that from an
epicurean standpoint the club. will be the
best.
President Murphy and the house com
mittee, composed of J. R. McCtaken, H.
E. Judge and Will A. Knight, have plans
under way for taking part in the river
carnival during the Rose Festival. Just
what part the Rock Island Club members
will take In the carnival has not been de
cided upon, but In addition to being beau
tiful their float will be unique. A splen
did electric display will be one of the
features.

new club follows: . . .
