products of factories of the old coun

driver, piloting the car made
In the great factory of the Hoosler
State, to carry ntt first .Jionora in the
greatest event In the history of motor
doro. He drove the Hve-century grind

traversing the ent-e distance In

Bens, the pride of Germany: the Italian-made
Flat and the Mereoedes of
Trance every one representative of
the best foreign workmanship and ma
terial, yielded the crown of victory to
the marmon.
Harroun raced earefuly. He started
at a steady salt. His burst of speed
was constant. Ills engine worked
perfectly. One by one he overtook
his 39 rivals, leavlnff each In the wake
behind. His Itemy maaneto aave a

The race made by Hirroun was re
markable from every standpoint. In
hfs onr-hooled Marmon "Wasp."
without the aid of a mechanician, he
made himself the Rreatest hero of the
motor world and with a perfect encine
and perfect equipment his task was
easier. There was never a bit of me
chanical trouble to mar the superb
driving. a
Not once during the more thanVlx
hmir grind did he have to lift the hood
of his racer to make an adjustment of
ny part. Not a second did he lose
for troubles of that kind. Magneto
troubles lessered the chance of many
of the entrants. Heveral times some
of them changed, but ll.rreun did not
even have to make the sllirheat adjust
ment to the perfect spark-producing
magneto.
There were no carburetor troubles;
he never had to stop to remove his
spark plugs: his engine kept so cool
during the entire period that there was
no call fur him to put another drop of
water In his radiator.
lie Cliansrtl Tiros.
The only etops made by Harroun
were for tire changes, and It was only
on one wheel that the tire had to be
changed before the end of the race.
The right rear wheel, where the strain
la. always too lerrlnce for any tireto
stand up for a long dlst.mre at a 75-mile-an-hour
clip, demanded four new
tires. The tires on the otier three
wheels traveled the entire distance.
Harroun s victory In the great meet
ing proves conclusively that an Amer
ican driver. In an American car.
equipped with the products of Amer
ican accessory factories, can conquer
ay product made on the ether side of
the Atlantic, manned by a foreign
driver.

The showing of the Remy magneto
In the long race has been the cause of
jonstderable comment. tieven of the
racing cars were tit ted with the lcnl

these seven were among the 12 that

(Special Stale Fish aad Game Com
missioner Stone has tsken steps to
force the reclamation service to place
screens over the Intakes of their Irri
gation ditches here to protect the trout
fry from getting Into these and being
distributed out on the alfalfa and
wheat field of the county.
Yesterday he authorised Game War
den U Alva Lewi to notify Project
Knglneer V. V Patch to properly
screen the main canal leading from the
I pper Klamath Lake and In a ale
ment yesterday the Commissioner said
H. v.BmnnaliU time would be given
the local officials to attend to this,
and then. If nothing was done, the
matter would be taken before the
grand Jurv and an attempt made to
get an indictment under the state law
against those responsible for the exist
ing condition.
"It Is useless for the people of this
city and county to try to protect the
fish of our streams and lakes or to
tnlk of building a hatchery to propo
xate trout to restock our waters as
long us such a d.-ah-dealing menace
to the fish Is maintained as the pres
ent main Government canal." said Com
missioner Stone, "I am not looking
for a fight with the reclamation offi
cials, but as thing now stand more
trout are being destroyed through the
lack of proper screens at the Intake
of tills main canal than through any
other agency In the county or state.
"Through an Inspection of this nisin
canal one run find tksuisnnds of trout
fry. and when once a fish has started
down this It means scertaln destruc
tion. These fry are carried Into the
laterals, and people report to me that
hundred of these small fish are to oe
found In different places on their Irri
gated land, where they have been
washed out onto the land and per
ished. It appears to be the height of
folly for the game wardens to watch
for the man who fishes out of season
or Illegally takes a trout and haul
him up for breaking the state fish
laws when sucn a destructive agency
Is allowed to remain unabated.
"It would appear, that the Govern
ment should take step to eradicate
this wanton destruction without hav
ing to be told to do so. Its officers
are usually prompt to arrest people
found violating a Federal law. and It
Is certainly not unreasonable to expect
them to comply with a plain provision
of the statute of this state. It has
been stated by high officials of the
lleclamatlon Service that the law
would not apply to the matter of fleh
screens for the reclamation ditches,
but It seems unreasonable that the
Government would raise any such pro
vision or attempt to test the law tn
a matter of such vital Importance to
this states I have given the local of
ficials notice to take Immediate steps
to screen their dltehee here, and if It
Is not doo. action will surely be taken
against those responsible for the condition."

Two Miles of Itoad at Rocky Point
on Carroliton Hill Completed,
.Making; - Almost Impassable
Way Now Perfect Koad.
KELSO. Wash., June J7. (Speolat)
Approximately $5,0o has been ex
pended on the two miles of road at
Pocky Point on the Carroliton Hill and
what heretofore has been almost an
Impassable highway Is new available
for automobile travel.
The extent of further Improvements
on the road. It Is now stated by the
Cowlltx County Commissioners, will de
pend on the making good cf Port
land and Seattlo automobile -enthusiasts
of their promises of financial aid.
It has been reported that the automo
bile clubs of the Northwest have aided
materially tn this work, but as a mat
ter of fact all tho funds so far ex
pended have been contributed by the
State of Washington and Cowlitz Coun
ty, the state having- paid about $13,
000 of the cost and Cowlitz County
the remainder.
Promises Are Asserted.
Several months ag'u. before the com
pletion of the cut through Rocky
Point was guaranteed, the Portland
Automobile Club appropriated 00 as
a contribution toward the work and
prominent club members promised. It
Is said by Kelso men interested in the
project, to raise the sum to $2000 by
subscription. Seattle automobile en
thusiasts agreed to take the matter up
and duplicate Portland's contribution.
It was on the basis of these promises
that the Cowlitg County Commissioners
went ahead with the worn ana epi
large gang of convicts at work. In
view of the fact that none of the prom
ised money has yet been paid the.coun
ty authorities feel that they have gone
as far with the work as their finances
permit. It Is desired to surface the
road In numerous rouglf plaoes and lay
crushed rock at other points where It
Is needed. The completion of the road
would cost about S50C0 addltlofal. U,
is now indicated that tne run win r-
iimln In a passable but unsatisfactory
condition Tor two or three years unless
the promised aid is forthcoming from
Portland and Seattle.
At a much less expense another
stretch of road, north of Kelso, which
is almost as hud as that at Rocky
Point will be Improved. Tlila has been
arranged by obtaining the railroad
grade, abandoned at that point by the
Northern Pacific in making: a change
of line.
Fine IJrlitKC Is Costly.
Work Is also In progress on the S0,-
000 hrldire nver the Lewis River, which
will bo paid for Jointly by Clark and
Cowlits Counties and the state.
With the final completion of the
three Improvements enumerated there
will be a first-class highway between
Portland and Puget Sound and one that
will conduce to extensive automobile
touring between the two states and be
of great advantage In building up trade
relations.
The Commissioners of cowlltx County.
C. C. Rulifson. Q. L. Puland and A. M.
Gray, have shown a keen Interest In
the work and express regret over the
prospect that It may be necessary to
stop the Rocky point work before the
new road Is in first-class condition.
There are now 64 convicts In the road
camp, but they may be withdrawn at
any time.

any they have ever seen If they were
shooting for a record.
The traps of the Eugene Gun Club
are located Just at the brow of a high,
bare hill In the southern part of the
city. There Is an absolutely clear sky
background, which Is the fetich of
the trap shooter. The surroundings
are beautiful, the snow peaks of the
Cascades rlslmr to the east of the
grounds, and the gentle hills of the
Coast range running away to the west.
Kemarkably good scores were "made
for the entire meet. Barklcy. of Seat

Though Members of Same School In
Michigan, Couple Never Became
Acquainted Till Recently.
ALBANY. Or., June 17. (Special.)
After attending college together in
their home stale of Michigan for three
years without becoming acquainted.
Fletcher Gould and Miss Bessie Covell
met when both came to Oregon as
teachers, and they will be wedded next
Fall. When they left for their homes
In Michigan this week they told friend3
here of the outcome of a romance most
unusual.
Mr. Gould entered the Michigan Agri
cultural College, at Lansing, Mich., In
1904, and Miss Covell a year later. Both
graduated from the Institution, and, ac
cordingly, were In the same school for
three years, but there were hundreds
of students there, and they never be
came acquainted. Miss Covell became
well acquainted with Gould's room
mate and attended a number of social
functions with him, but notwithstand
ing this fact, she and her future hus
band never met while In college.
Two years ao Gould came West and
became an Instructor In the engineering;
department at the Oregon Agricultural
College, at Corvallls. Last Fall Miss
Covell came to Albany to visit a friend,
and while here accepted a position as a
teacher In the Corvallls High School.
They became acquainted tn Corvallls,
and the fact that they were graduates
of the same college furnished a basis
for an acquaintanceship and a compan
ionship which will result In a .wedding
next Fall.
Miss Covell'a home Is at Whitehall,
Mich., and Mr. Gould Uvea at Owasco,
Mich. Both are membera of prominent
families In their home cities.
