Portland Clnb Is Confident.
With only two more weeks remaining
until the big automobile rrC to be held
during the Rose Festival Saturday. Jun
12. under the auspices of the Portland
Automobile Club, take place, interest In
these events which has reached National
Importance has increased with th ap
proach of the date net. The executive
committees of the club and the dealers
are working diligently every day to make
the success of the races such that they
will be remembered as the crowning fea
ture of the Rose Festival.
Nearly all preparations for the race
have been completed by the committees
of the club and the work on the course
which is being done by the countv. is
progressing rapidly. The course will be
the best probably In America, or perhaps
in the world. Nearly the whole course
has been gone over with graders and
rollers and a layer of crushed rock has
been placed on the surface, so that the
road is almost as smooth as a billiard
table. Oil la now being spread on the
surface for the purpose of laying the dust
and preventing the surface from being
torn up by the speeding machines. The
contractors promise this work will be
completed In plenty of time for the races.
A Krandtand t - V. . .) .1 in An. .
- --.v-"j te.iin is
being erected beside the one now sta
tioned there. It Is the Intention of the
management to build seats for the vis
itors to extend for lOOrt feet on each side
of the course at the finish. Opposite the
grandstand a large field has been pro
vided for automobiles, and on the same
side boxes holding 60 people each are
being prepared. The price of these boxes
has been placed at tzn each. A number
of these have been already engaged and
communications for their reservation are
being received dally. Admission to the
automobile field will be 11 a person In
each automobile. To the grandstand. In
cluding transportation, the fee will be 11.
The grandstand, automobile fields and
box-seats are at the start and finish,
where a speed of perhaps better than 80
miles an hour will be made. They are
so arranged that spectators will have a
clear view of the road for several miles.
Arrangements have been made that
people attending the races will be able to
come or to leave at any time, either by
machine or on the streetcars at will. Au
tomobiles may leave Portland and arrive
at the scene of the races by way of Sandy
road and then across to Rockwood to the
automobile field. This feature for con
venience was not at the service of the
visitors during the 1308 races. On the
morning of June 12 a special car will
laye the city with a load of confetti,
which will be strewn all along the road,
that visitors to the city who do not know
the way to the grounda can easily be
piloted along the road.
The National Guard, which has been
secured to patrol the track, will be trans
ported In automobiles to the course
where they will be the means of pre
venting accidents or mishaps to vehicles
or individuals not taking part in the
races, by keeping a strict watch over the
course after 12 o'clock, when the road
will be closed to all but the entrants.
At least 40 entries will probably be
made and the following wellknown makes

in the majority of instances the reou-.t
is granted and the club eU credit for
the improvement. In this way and by di
rect invlta'lon the club has secured 14
new members in the hut month and new
applications are coming In every dv.
Forlv-three new member, were voted In
the club Wednesday night at the meeting
hMd in the convention hall of thr Com
mercial Club.
The Portland Automobile club Is an
active factor in the Improvement of
streets about the city and the means of
regulating the possibility of accidents. A
l""r aa sent to t.i streetcar company
not long ago railing Its attention to the
fact that a number of serious accidents
were narrowly averted at F-nat Twentieth
and Morrison streets, where the road Is
In bad shape. It has been stated a. at
the atrectcara have been going around
the corner at a high rate of speed with
out ringing of the bell aa a notice of
their progress. The club pointed out to
the company that It was impossible for
autolsts to s the rlri coming around
the corner until the turn had been mane
and requested the company to instruct
the motormcn to slow down before reach
ing the turn. It was also advlmd to put
four or six yards of fine crushed rock at
the Intersection lines. These methods. It
is believed, will prevcrt serious accidents.
The city Knglneer has been asked to
repair the streets wherever hole, are In
evidence and this effort baa met with
success. Ka.t Stark wa. In an almost
Impassable condition a few weeks ago.
and through the efforts of the club In
struetlons were given the contractors to
repair and grade this portion i,t the
street.

Farmers are taking great Interest In
the operations of the t'orlland Automo
bile flub and at the Inst meetmg two
're voted In as member. They own
car. and are naturally Interested in the
good road movement a. farmer, are. No
opposition so far ha. been experienced
In the us- of the roads for the races and
In a few cases rural residents are lend
ing Cieir ro-operatlon to the movement.
They realise the advent of the automobile
means Improvement of roads and that Im
provement of roads means Increased
value of land. A large number purchase I
car. lately and a heavy Fall sale of ma
chines Is looked for by dealers.
After discussing the matter for some
time, the City of Portland has derided to
purchase an automobile for the use of
the Police Department and has awarded
the contract to the Studebaker Company.
Pending the decision of the etv authori
ties in regard to the am-ard Die Ptude
baker Company held a machine for the
use of the Police Department In case the
award should be given It. but In some
manner the bid was returned by mistake
..... .mnaing a oeciaion had been made
against It. th Ktudebaker Company sold
the machine held in reserve. Thursday,
however, the company wa. called up by
phone and notified of the awarding of the
sale. The department will now have to
wait until a machine can be .hipped from
San Francisco.
There are certain large districts of New
York, covering an are. larger than all
the business district of Portland. In which
automobiles are used exclusively aa hre
fighting vehicles. . nla has been aecom-
,,,e installation of the lilch
pressure water system, which entirely
eliminates the necessity of fire engines,
and It ts only a matter of time when alt
of New Tork will be so protected. In
fact, it Is predicted all cities will have
this system, for It is said to be io per
cent more economical and much more ef
ficient than the old system. There will
be no mad galloping of horses three
abreaat. no clanging of bells or shriek
of whistles. Instead, a number of auto
mobiles will be seen with their long reel,
wound with hose, silently but swirtly
riylng to the destination and reaching It
In less than half ne time required by
the horse-drawn vehicle.

Angela Coming Tast.
The Angels Just now are occupying the
attention of the !n Francisco club and
the local fans. They haven't besn creep
ing up on the 6al to any extent, but
they are so close behind that the o...,.in
Is not altogether comfortable. Iji,t week

r-omana and mere but little further be-
mna i nan tney mere when the series
opened. And the fans In th!s town are so
accustomed to a losing team that they
can t even appreciate tl.al the Seals are
now In tlie lead.
"I tell you w hat It Is." grumbled one of
them the other day. "if Uoa Angeles ever
gets in front, that is re they mm
stick."
But unless all signs fail, they will have
no easy Job getting out in the lesd.
Seals Play Great Hall.
At the present the jsala are playing
st-nsatlonal hall. Their pitchers are work
Ing like well-oiled machinery, their field
ers are pulling off unheard-of atunta. and
the atlckwork Is Improved. MeArdle. for
Instance, who secured the title of "the
hit less wonder." broke up tmo games I set
week with his stick, getting some beau
tlful ex'.ra-base hits.
Zetder Is a perfect demon on the bases.
Demon ia the right word in the right
place. Let the Seal third aarker reach
first and he will worry any team In the
league. His daring Is unexcelled and he
stands so far from the bag that be often
draws a fault throw, mhich. of course,
means an extra base for hlin.
Then. too. the boys are working tho hit-and-run
scheme to perfection. Long had
his men out three das last week prac

eyew to see the wsy men like Melchlor.
Bodie. big Jim Williams and others can
