The highest compliment ever paid a new car followed our announcement to the trade. Every automobile
dealer in America received practically the same day an announcement of the Hudson "20," giving com
plete specifications and a list of ; officers, engineers and directors of the Hudson Motor Car Company.

This announcement was received by dealers the 19th of May.
During five days following we received 104 telegrams and long
distance calls all containing requests for the agency for the
Hudson "Twenty," and giving the number of cars wanted.
The grand total of the cars asked for in these tele
grams and long distance calls was 1,452.
Scores of certified checks were received from dealers in dif
ferent parts of the country who wished, if possible, to bind
territory at once. ' -
In addition to telegrams, we received within ten days 1,873
letters from dealers, requesting territory in which to sell the
Hudson "Twenty."
Of course we could not give an agency to every dealer who
wanted it in many instances several requests were from the
same city. But the true significance of this wonderful response
money and his business reputation.
They know where other cars are weak. They know why
certain cars are hard to sell. Being experts they know from the
specifications and appearance of the 1916 Hudson "Twenty" and
from the reputation of the men behind it, that never before was
a car offered which represented so much value for the money.
They know that for the first time a car is being built to sell for
less than. $1,000 free from every objection heretofore raised against
cars selling at or near this price. They know that never before
has a car with so many high grade features been sold for $900.
Some Reasons why the Hudson "Twenty" has Created a Sensation
In the first place it is a good looking ear. The
officers of the Hudson "Twenty" have been the
first to appreciate that it is as easy to make a
good looking car and sell it for less than $1,000
as it is to make the other kind.
It is a big car with a 100-inch wheel base,
and 32-inch wheels.
It is as roomy as any roadster made, regard
less of price.
Sliding Gear Transmission
It has a sliding gear transmission, selective
type, three speeds forward and reverse, such as
you find on the Packard, Peerless,, and other
high grade cars.
Its motor is the Renault type, patterned
after the famous French motors of that name.
Long Stroke Motor
With a bore of 3f and a stroke of 4J it
conforms to the most up-to-date foreign design,
a long stroke motor.
The same company which makes the frames
for the high priced Steams cars makes the frames
for the Hudson "Twenty."
The front axle is a one-piece drop forged
I-beam section of the best grade of open hearth
teel carefully heat treated.

Three-quarter Elliptic Springs
Semi-elliptic in front, and three-quarter ellip
tic rear springs are the easiest riding under all
conditions, faster and due to theirpeculiar actions,
are the least liable to fracture. This is the Bpring
suspension found on the Hudson "Twenty."
The radiator is composed entirely of brass
and copper of such dimensions that more cooling
surface is provided than on, most cars of half
again as much horse power.
Carbureter Specially Designed
The carbureter has been especially designed
for the motor, insuring absolute control at
all speeds.
50 Miles an Hour
Any Hudson "Twenty" will do fifty miles
an hour. It has all the power you could ever
have use for. It not only look like the most
expensive cars, but it acta like them too. It is
strong, speedy, roomy and stylish.
The Ideal Car
The Hudson "Twenty "is the ideal carat the
price. It leaves nothing to be desired.
Nothing experimental about it. Nothing
untried.
The "Twenty "has been recognized by the
Association of Licensed Automobile Manufac
turers. It is the only four cylinder licensed cat
selling for les3 than $1,000.
Equipment: Two large headlights, gen
erator, two side oil lamps, tail lamps, full set
tools and horn$900.
With Bosch magneto, top, Prest-O-Lite,
tank, double rumble seat $1050.
Our allottment of these cars is limited and orders will be filled in rotation
as received. Please call, telephone or write for further information.
SEEING IS BELIEVING
e2ii
The 1910 Chalmers-Detroit "30" has arrived; ergo, the season of selling 1909
cars is over.
. We sold and delivered 114 Chalmers-Detroit "30s" this past season. Xames of
owners will be furnished upon application, and we are perfectly willing to let you be
the judge as to whether or not they are satisfied owners.
. It is a pleasure to talk to any Chalmers-Detroit owner.
This 1910 season we are offering the Chalmers-Detroit with every feature to be
found in any high-priced, high-powered car; such improvements as, 34-inch wheels,
. 115-inch wheel base, same size tires all round, larger cylinder bore, larger intake
valves, longer, hood, selective transmission, three speeds forward and one reverse,
and certainly the most beautiful-and harmonious body lines ever seen in any car-regardless
of price.
These are only a few features to be found in the new Chalmers-Detroit, and we
earnestly request that you allow us to show you this car whether you axe interested
or not. . .
We don't want any prospective buyer of an automobile to, believe what we say
merely because we say it. . Make your own investigations. If you don't-know
yourself, ask some one who does. The more a man knows about motor-car construc
tion, the easier it is for us to sell him a Chalmers-Detroit "30.00." To prove this asser
tion, we give you the names of a few prominent people whose knowledge should
prompt them to buy the best:
Mr. John B. Herreshoff, designer' of American cup defenders; Mr.
Geo. W. Vanderbilt, Mr. John S. Huler, well-known candy-maker;
Mr. A. R. Shattuck, ex-president of the Automobile Club of America;
Dr. Lee De Forest, of wireless telegraphy fame; Mr. Arthur Brisbane,
New York journalist; Mr. Douglas. Robinson; Mr. C. R. CrancciuarfVi
facturer; Mr. John G. Vincent, superintendent of inventions Bur
roughs Adding Machine Co. ; Mr. Jos. Boyer, president .) Burroughs
Adding Machine Co.; Mr. N. Piatt, president Baker Electric Vehicle
Co. ; Mr. L. H.'Perlman, president Welch Motor Car Co., of New York ;

Co.'; Mr. William Sittenham, Mr. W. S. Banta, Mr. Geo. II. Hclvy, de
signer of the famous Corliss engine, and hundreds of others.
Unless'the car was good enough to sell itself, it never could have been sold to
men of this standing in the mechanical and business world. The utmost value at the
price is in the Chalmers-Detroit, and we leave it to the owners to say. whether they
realize it. ' '
Prompt deliveries are assured by placing orders NOW, for we are not only show
ing the Chalmers-Detroit, Tut are selling them. .

Financial Success Assured.
Active operations in preparing the
Country Club grounds and buildings for
the second annual Portland Fair and
Livestock Exposition were begun yester
day when President Wehrung sent out a
crew of men to put the track, show
bams, grandstand, paddock and infield
into shape. The Exposition takes place
September 20-25, and considerable land
scape work must be done in the mean
time. It has been discovered by speed tests
by local harness horses that the mile
oval at the Country Club was a trifl?
slow last year bemuse it was of too
hard surface, although several Western
records were broken during the first
meet held last September. Attention will
be paid to softening and ""padding" the
course, and no expense will be spared
In reducing it to the last word in speed.
Horses of known and official records
have been negotiating the track since
the dressing down has been started, and
they have been showing from one to

year ago. This would Indicate that the

tanced California turfs. Is capable of
hammering records down to grand circuit
marks, wita a little nursing, such as will
be done in the next few weeks.
Special Events Promise Well.
While the early-closing events have
been closed for some time and the en
tries are now getting Into championship
form on Southern courses, much is ex
pected for the series of special events,
which will be listed in the late entries
which close September 1, a week from
next Wednesday.
The canvass for the sale of season
tickets is being prosecuted, both' locally
and among all Oregon livestock and
racing centers, with the ' result that
banks, hotels, business houses and other
large concerns are subscribing liberally.
At the present rate the total pledges
should reach close to $20,000 by the open
ing day. This will guarantee the success
of the meet beyond any doubt.
Railroads centering in Portland are
getting out their advertising matter
covering the reduced excursion rates to
the exposition. The fare will be one
and two-thirds, round trip, and will
prevail over the O. R. & N. from all
points west of Huntington: on the
Southern Pacific from all points north
of Ashland; on the North Bank from all
points west of Pasco, and, in all prob
ability, on all points on the Northern
Pacific south of Centralia, with similar
ate from Grays Harbor and South
Bend country. All branch lines within
the territory mentioned will be in
cluded in the special rate.
Inserts to Be Sent Out.
An issue' of 100,000 inserts was dis
tributed among local department
stores and other business places during
the past few days, so that every piece
of mail going out and every package
wrapped at the counters in most of the
leading houses .will carry these
circulars.
California livestock breeders and
racing stables have entered more com
prehensive lists than in any other show
eer held in the Pacific Northwest. Mon
tana. Washington. Idaho, Colorado, Ne
vada, British Columbia and several
Eastern exhibitors and competitors
have sent in their entries in both stock
exhibits and for the race events.
Attractions without number will be
given place during the day programme,
with special engagements during the
evenings. Balloon races, chariot con
tests and the possibility of speed con
tests between airships is promised, but
these details will depend upon what ar
rangements can be - made with the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition man
agement. The A.-Y.-P. fair people have
promised to give Portland whatever
special attractions they can for the
week here, as this will be an additional
Inducement in bringing high-class stuff
out from the East for playing both big
cities in the Northwest.
ROYAL WHISKERS CUT OFF
Alfonso Finds Vanity Leads Him
- Far Astray.
CHICAGO, Aug. 21. A special cable
from London to the Tribune says:
When King Alfonso arrived at San
Sebastian from Madrid he was wearing
side-whiskers and had his hair cut
short. The King thought this gave
him the appearance of an admiral in
the British navy, but Queen Victoria
and former Empress Eugenie remarked
he looked more like an English butler
and urged him to shave his whiskers
off.
He did so, for when he returned
to iuadrid he was whiskerless once
more and looked younger.

BERLIN, Aug. 21. (Special.) The
first place is given in the August number
of the "Deutsche Revue" to a letter ad
dressed to the editor by Privy Councillor
Dr. von Jagemann, honorary professor of
jurisprudence at Heidelberg University,
advocating the establishment of a Uni
versity or Academy for politics and
journalism.
Dr. Jagemann, who represented the
Grand Duchy of Baden in the Federal
Council from 1893 to 1903. and is thus
well acquainted with the political life of
Germany, contends that the need of such
an academy has never been manifested
more clearly than during the past few
mohths, when the question of financial
reform has been under discussion; -He
does not wish to imply that every politi
cian requires instruction In politics, but
he says that the times demand that those
politicians and journalists who aim at at
taining to the higher domains of their
profession should have special training.
Intending politicians can. of course,
now hear lectures on political economy
in all the universities, and courses of
lectures are already being delivered at
several universities on the history of the
press and other topics of which It Is de
sirable that journalists should have spe
cial knowledge, but such advantages no
longer suffice. Politics and Journalism
have become matters of such vast Im
portance that, in Dr. Jagemann's opinion,
they must have an academy for them
selves, which ought to be established by
the state fr the welfare of the state.
The field, tie" says, is wide enough. The
political side would include constitutional.
administr&Uva and. lntinstionil law. tba
history of International relations, and of
the rise and fall of states, different forms
of government, the relationship of the
state to the church, education, finance,
and hygiene, while social politics is a
very wide and important subject. In the
department for literature and journalism
the history of literature and art would
be dealt with together with the history
and rights of the press, the question or
the resDonslbility of newspapers, their
relation to public opinion, the technical
Ities of journalism, foreign languages,
and stenography.
It may be urged, adds Dr. Jagemann,
that Doliticians and journalists are born
not made, but his retort is that it is the
dutv of the state to provide an opportu
nltv for men who hope to attain emi
nence In political life or in journalism to
secure the special scientific groundwork
essential for such a career. He points
out that many objections were raised to
the establishment of technical universi
ties, which have fully justified their ex
istence. VEXED QUESTION SETTLED
Naval Hydroeraphic Office Tells of
Size of Waves.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. A puzzling
question to all sea-goers, that of the
length and height of ocean waves, and
how to measure them, is answered by the
Navy hydrographic office in a recent pub
lication. Determination of the length of waves at
sea may- be obtained by direct compari
son of the length of the observing vessel
with the length from crest to crest of the
waves over which she is riding, and when
ships are sailing in company, a good es
timate of the length of the waves may be
made by comparing the known length of
a neighboring ship to the distance from
crest to crest of the successive waves.
The average height of all the waves
running in a gale in the open ocean
is about 20 feet.
About 40 feet is a common'estimate
of the height of the largest waves in
a severe gale on the North Atlantic,
and this estimate is really not Incom
patible with a recorded average of a
little more than 20 fast. 1
EUGENE OUTLOOK GOOD
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON HAS
FOOTBALL HOPES.
AH of Last Year's Men Expet-ted
Back, as Well as Many
New Players.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
Or., Aug. 21. (Special.) Not for a
number of years has the outlook for a
championship football .team at' the
University of Oregon been so Bright as
Wis year. Among football men now in
town the Idea seems to be that it is
the Northwest championship" for Oregon
this year, and that is the goal they
have in view, although they realize
that the coming season will be one of
the hardest ones that the varsity has
yet had.
Football men base their estimate of
the outcome of the approaching sea
son on the performances of the team
last season and on the fact that
practically the entire team of last year
will again be in college this Fall. An
other source of strength lies In the fact
that a number of men who were not
in the university lat year are now
returning.
Among these is Chuck Taylor, one of
the best athletes that ever represented
Orprnn. With Dudley Clarke, Bill Main
and Chuck Taylor behind the line, Ore
gon will have the strongest back held
she has had for years.
The Fall term of the University begins
on Septebmer 21, and it is expected that
most of the fo(fr-ball men will reach
Eugene several days early and begin light
m-actice. The freshman registration
promises to reach the ioO mark and un
doubtedly there will be a number of
promising men among them.

BULLFIGHT 0NM0DERN ARK
Bovines, Frightened at Alligators,
Engage in Fatal Fray.
SAN. FRANCISCO. Aug. 21. Passen
gers on board the German ship Ella,
which arrived In this port yesterday,
were spectators. of a real bull fight while
the vessel was rolling in a heavy sea.
Several Mexican bulls, confined In stalls
on the rear deck, became frightened at
the snapping of some alligators traveling
with them as fellow passengers, and
breaking from their stalls commenced a
sanguinary battle, which did not end
until the deck was so slippery with
blood- that they could not stand on their
feet.
The biggest bull of the herd was
singled out by the others as the special
object of attack, and. although he flung
his assailants off time after time with
liis mighty horns, he was finally borne
to the deck and killed by the .repeated
gorings of his mates.
