190S. AUTOS GREAT AID PORTLAND DOCTORS WHO ARE ENTHUSIASTIC AUTOISTS ''TO Oregon-Corvallis Game Portland Expected to Set tle Northwest Title. Micfielms DO cost more than other in In Country, Particularly, Ma chines Have Proved Their Value to Physicians. t1 COMMON USE IN OREGON y OTHERS ALSO ARE -.IN. RACE w G I PHYSICIANS r r- Motor Ambulances Are Also Being Generally Adopted in Eastern Cities Other News of IO cal Automobile World. That doctors have seen and taken advantage of the benefits to be de rived from automobiles Is made evl dent by the jjreat number in use among the profession. In small country towns, in particular, where there are perhaps not more than half a doxen cars In use. It will usually be found that one or two belong; to doctors. This Is because a, email town physician usually ministers to the farmers and others for mllea aronnd and finds that. where It used to take the better part of a day to make a call 15 or 20 miles away, he now can make several such trips In a day and at less expense to himself. One example of this Is Dr. F. Smith of Tillamook, a coast town BO miles from a railroad. Dr. Smith sold his two horses early this Summer and purchased a small runabout in which he manages to visit patients within a distance of 30 miles south or north. Now that he has tried the more up-to date way, he wonders how he carried on his business for so many years with horses. In Salem there are two doc tors In partnership, both or whom own cars and do largely an outside busi ness in the surrounding; country. Physicians who drive cars are more fortunate In one way than the average driver in that there is no limit placed by law as to what speed they may travel. A small red cross painted on the radiator denotes ownership by doctor and officers never molest these cars. In some of the larger cities in the Kast automobile ambulances are In use. These are usually of the electric type, so as not to jap the Injured person in side and, as in the case of the New York fire chiefs car, are built specially for speed. Several Incidents are on record whore the quickness of these cars in getting; patients to the operat lng table has saved lives and it will be the natural result for all cities In time to adopt them. WIU F. LIpman. secretary of the Portland Automobile Club, plans the formation of an addition to the club for women who drive their own cars. This will give the fifteen or twenty women In Portland who drive an op portunity to meet and discuss automo bile subjects. Also, they will have an opportunity to listen to lectures which are to be given next Winter. Several of the best authorities on gas engines in the city have been engaged to give these talks and it will be pos clble to derive & great deal of benefit from them. The beginner will gain Ideas that it would take him months on the road to learn and a little knowledge picked up this way would often come In very handy In case of a breakdown. Word comes from the Fast of the consolidation of the Maxwell and Bulck factories. This is an especially big and Important deal, as each company Is among the leaders In the industry. The new company will be a $3,000,000 concern. In the economy test at Harrtsbnrg, Pa., a one-cylinder Cadillac runabout recently covered 38 H miles on one gal. Ion of gasoline. Motoring would be cheap If this were aa average. Another example of the danger on public highways to wagons and auto- lsts, when the former carry no lights. was brought out Friday night. An au tomobile Ailed with people was pro ceedlng along the Base Una road near Gresham, when, on turning a corner. It suddenly came Into collision with a wagon standing In the middle of the road. The team had been unhitched and the wagon left without any lights of any kind on it. Fortunately, no one was hurt and but small harm done the machine, but, as the blame Is al ways attached to the driver of the mo tor. In a case like this It certainly teems only right that horse-drawn ve hicles should be made to carry lights. The Automobile Club will present the matter to the City Council next Wednesday. , Captain C. J. Mann, ,of Seattle, made a record run in his' Pope-Hartford from Seattle to Portland last Wednes day. Leaving Seattle Wednesday morning early. Captain Mann came through without any trouble whatso ever and completed the run In exactly II hours and 10 minutes, and this with a half hour's delay at the Vancouver ferry. The best previous record was something over IS hours. Captain Mann reports the roads good with the exception of the stretch between Ta coma and Toledo, this being rocky. Mrs. A. H. Payson, of San Mateo, Cal, made the run to Portland with her chauffeur recently In eight days. Mrs. Payson is enthusiastic over Oregon's scenery and believes autolng to be the only way to see the country properly. The machine wa shipped back to San Francisco by boat. The tour to Tillamook yesterday, which was being considered by the Automobile Club members, was given up for the present, owing to the reporf given of the condition of the roads by C. J. Cook. Mr. Cook has Just returned from Tillamook in his Pope Hartford and declares that it Is a pretty hard trip and that the roads in places are bad, although work on them is being puehed. He made the run of 13S miles in eight hours. - One of the greatest feats ever ac complished by automobiles In compe tition was the running of the five Pierce Great Arrow cars in the last Glldden tour. This team won first place by going the entire distance of about 3000 miles without an adjust ment of any kind, and for many weeks after the tour the care continued run ning in the same perfect shape. The Pierce cars also won the Hower trophy for runabouts and at the latest report were still running to see which of the two cars in the team should get the prlre. This performance Is a remark able test of reliability and speaks vol umes for the elx-cyllnder car, this be ing the type the Pierce Company used. III.

That Portland hunters have recently been guilty of wantonly destroying game near the mouth of the Elkhorn River, be tween North Yamhill and Tillamook, Is the information brought by W. M. Vale and J. L. Luxton, of this city, who re turned from a 10 days' hunting trip Fri day night; Said Mr. Vale: "We were camped Just below two hunters from this city, and we were disgusted to find that these men had shot three deer and thrown their carcasses into the stream from which we were taking water. Their con duct was unsportsmanlike in the ex treme and the people of that neighbor hood are highly Indignant, not only at their disregard of the game laws, but their flagrant act in contaminating a stream as welL They are determined that such violation of the law shall not occur again."

As the opening of the football season Is riniv o few weeks away, speculation is rife aato Championship possibilities, and lovers of the game in all parts oi me country are figuring on the chances of their favorite teams. Here in the Paclfio Northwest there is a general feeling that Oregon and O.

Followers of the Idaho, Pull man and Washineton elevens look with sour faces upon this dope, for each of aE-erearationa figures on a fair xi to Inn.l the championship title. Washington has been one of the under dogs for several years and tlie annual drubbings that the Evergreen 'varsity has been receiving have not been relished by alumni and students. The Washing tonians, however, believe that a new light Is breaking on their football nonzon ana that the dawning of the new day means better things for the wearers of the pur ple and gold. They believe that they have at last discovered a Moses who will i hoin naril warriors out of the wiirioT-nesa and restore to the Washing ton campus the championship banner that was waved aloft In the days of Speidell, Lantz, McBlmon and Sigrist the palmy days when Jim Knight was coacn ana when Washington ruled ine roost m mo Northwest.

Portland to See Big Game, Portland will be given an opportunity to see one of the biggest and best games of the Northwest this year when Oregon and Oregon Agricultural College meet In their annual struggle. This game has grown in importance until it outranks all other Intercollegiate events in tno iMorui- west. The fact that last season's game was so close and spectacular, coupled with the probable equality of this year's aggre gation, warrants the prediction that the coming game will be one of the best ever played on the historic field at the head of Morrison street.

PLAYER KICKS Oil WATCH TIMEPIECE HAD BEEN BOR ROWED BY UMPIRE. Joe Kelley, Now Manager of Boston Nationals, Victim of His Own Angry Protest, t flDeaklng of baseball yarns that have stood the acid test, the story of Umpire "Watch" Burnham's set-to with t itaIIav nn t Via Baltimore diamond has not only fought oft all corroding influences, but has grown fat and healthy from age. On the day in question Keiljy was late in arriving at the park, and at the last moment discovered that he had lost the key to his locker. Being the possessor of a beautiful watch, Kelley wM-am arrfiM to leavA It lvinsr around loose, so he Intrusted It to the care of the groundkeeper. When the game began Umpire Burnham discovered that he had forgotten his watch, so he called the groundkeeper to get him a tlme- plece. The groundkeeper obligingly handed him Kelley's watch. Toward the middle of the game a dispute arose over a decision at second base, and in a second an excited bunch of Baltimore players had surrounded the umpire and were Impressing their opinions upon him with wild gesticula tions. Burnham waved them away and walked toward his regular posi tion, but they followed close at his heels and kept up the kicking. Kelley, who Is now manager of the Boston Nationals, was leading the protest. In desperation. Burnham Anally pulled his watch and gave the players one minute to resume play or forfeit the game. Turning on his heels ha strode away. Kelley was so enraged at the thought of Burnham getting away with his decision that he leaped forward and slapped the watch from the umpire's hands, and with a kick sent It spinning in the dust. "You're out of the game for that," yelled Burnham. "And you are fined J2f besides." Not until he reached the clubhouse did Kelley calm down enough to dis cover that he had been kicking his own watch. And it was a present from his admiring friends at that. Until lie retired from the game, Burnham was thereafter known as "Watch" Burn ham. Another story which grows better with age has for its victim the famous Dan O'Leary, who retired from the ball game 12 years ago, and who now keeps himself busy telling stories In Chicago. Dan was the heavy hitter on a team from Louisville which was playing at Indianapolis. He was always an ex citable fellow, and this day he com pletely lost his head. At the time he went to the bat the score stood 1 to 0 in favor of Louisville. The crowd was yelling like mad for O'Leary to land the ball In the daisies, and he did. One of Dan's big swings connected and the ball lit in the far corner of the lot for a home run. In his excitement Dan forgot himself and ran toward third base first He made a complete circuit of the bags in reverse style, and about that time the outfielder came running in with the ball. That home run should have made the score 8 to 0 in favor of Louisville, but as Dan had gone around the wrong way the one run they had originally was substract ed, leaving the score a tie. And thus the game ended. MOTORING In Wet Weather made a pleaa- ure. Use Woodworlk Treads. They save your tires and will not skid. See us about them. Rala proof Coats aad Cap.
