doing Ita bast to break tha heat
record Runday. mem be re of tha
Automobile Dmtlcrs' Association. In
various parties, ware out la the full
glare of the sun. adding to their tan
while ther searched for Estacada Park.
where their annual plcnle was to ba
held. Indeed, the most exciting part of
the plcnlo was the serlea of roadside
adventures that different drivers had
to recount, after they bad arrived at
tha park, most of them having traveled
almost twice aa far aa was necessary
to reach the place. Nearly all had rath-
erad enormous funds of Information
about the Intrlcaciee of the Clackamas
highways, after having first been made
the victims of equally great funda of
misinformation from pedestrians and
from scattering finger-boards along the
route.
Thar were a dusty crew when they at
last cam trailing Into tha park, atalned
with the colors of every kind of soli
that mar bo found In these regions, r or
a long time the center of attraction was
tha hydrant near the park bathhouse.
Men. woman and children assembled to
splash a handful of water on their faces
and streak tha dust off as best they
might, regardless of tha destruction to
handkerohlnf a.
C M. Manilas and Fred Mead. In
charge of the refreshments, had taken
th precaution to find out the way be
fore leaving Portland. Thy werw at
the park la ample time, together with a
few others who were experienced In the
ways of the Clackamas County roads.
E. H. Wemme had abandoned a trip
over tha Mount Hood road to come.
After wrestling with ttre troubles and
walking a distance, be bad been picked
up by another early party, and waa
there triumphant, to welcome the later
arrivals.
After tha hydrant. Mx. Memles and
Mr. Moad established In the park band
stand, with a tubful of lemonade and
a supply of bottled beer for those who
wished It. with plenty of chicken and
plenty of sandwiches, attracted the
crowd about them. Gathering their
share from the refreshments offered by
the association, the heads of the differ
ent parties dslved Into their autos again
and brought out big baskets of provl
slona These supplemented the refresh
menta already given, and furnished a
rare bill of fare. Jolly lunch parties
soon occupied every bench, and pretty
bit of shade In tho park.
Vndlscouraged by the heat that pre
vailed outside the park, a hundred or
more drove over to the Estacada ball
grounds to enjoy a game between two
teams representing the accessory men
and th dealers. The game was not
Intended to be an axblbltloln of league
class, but It furnished enough amuse
ment for both players and spectators to
keep the ' grandstand In a tumult of
laughter for more than an hour, before
victory, for the accessory men was de
clared, with a score of S to 3.
Menwhlle. the remainder of the crowd
had spent the afternoon In luxurious
Idleness In the shad of the park or
along the bank of the Clackamas
River. When the crowd from the ball
grounds returned the boldest of those
left behind had rallied for a second at
tack upon the refreshment stand. By
i o'clock aU of the eatables had been
swept, a way. devoured by hungry pic
nickers or stowed Into the machines to
furnish a lunch on the way back, and
machines were puffing out of the park
and away on the homeward trip.. Prof
iting by their forenoon experiences the
drivers chose the main traveled road
and whizzed along without any delay,
so that by t o'clock the last of the pic
nickers bad reached home, washed the
dust of travel from their faces and
were dilating on the success of the en
tertainment, to those who had not been
so fortunate as to go.
ROAD CLUBS PROFIT
Middle West Reaps Advantage
of Co-operation.
FARMS ADOPT MOTOR CARS
Chairman DIehl,"of National Hlgh-
vsay Boartf. Totnt Out Prrcoeaa of
E-mail Organisation In Im
proving Auto Pathways.
Good roads and aystematJo mainten
ance -Is. a subject which of necessity
must concern the motorist more than
any one else. said Chairman Dlehl. of
the National Good Roads Board re
cently. This fact la gaining country
wide significance, and nowhere Is It
more thoroughly appreciated than In
th country districts. Th man on the
farm has com to a belief In organised
effort, and while his local grange Is
Interested In the roads question Ita
work accumulates along other essential
lines, which means that the roads ques
tion is simply one of a considerable
number that call for his attention.
Hence, he Is willing to co-operate, par
ticularly In highway Improvement with
other users of the road whose Interest
a agrlrultnr is limited to tne
economical transportation of farm pro-
ucts to suburban communities. Both
he man In the city and the man la Uie
country want good roads, and It so
happens that the man In the city has
been the first to adopt In quantity the
motor-driven vehicles, even though It
la Inevitable that every farm will pos
sess an automobile, juet as it requires
plow or any other farm Implement.
"In ite oreenltatlon work tha Ameri
can Automobile Aasnclatlnn ta finding
hat many of Ita local cluba and county
organisations sra gathering In the
farmer motnrlnts of their repectlve
vtcinlUea. and vue of the phase of the
situation la that after the country
dweller buys a car his Interest In th
road proposition develops on th high
speed."
Michigan and Nebraska are the two
A. A. A. state bodies which are most
active In perfecting state-wide plan
of organisation and procedure. Secre
tary Warnshuls reports to National
headquarters that the field represen
tative of the Mlohlfan assoclstlon has
Just formed clubs In Fremont. Big
Rapids, cedillas. Grant and Petorkey
with Increased membership In Battle
Creek. Kalamasoo, Saginaw and Bay
City, and several other towna In some
Instances the energetic organiser se
cured DO per cent of all the automo
bile utter In the vicinity.
In Nebraska Secretary Watklns pr
dlota that before th year 1 over. In
practically every part of the state ther
will have been county association
formed.
From Iowa, Vice-President Groves, of
the State Automobile Association, re
ports that the state-wide campaign In
progress Is resulting in combining of
good road forces In such an effective
manner that Iowa before long will
possess roads equal to those of any
other state In the Central West
In Missouri, the automobile clubs of
BL Louis and Kansas City supplied the
escorting party for Governor Hadley
and State Engineer Hill In the trip to
decide upon the locatlonof a state road
from St. Loula to Kansas City. '

sioners, good roads enthusiasts, mo
torists and citizens In general in the
western parts of Washington. Oregon
and California, road conditions gener
ally along the Paclflo Coast are said
to be much Improved and many motor
ing parties have already this year
made the Coast tour over the rout
of the proposed international high
way. '
One of the most Interesting units of
the convention Is expected in the stere
optlcon lecture on good roads by Sam
uel Hill, of Seattle. Mr. Hill will
speak upon highway construction In
the United States, Canada and Europe
One evening has been promised Mr.
Hill for his illustrative lecture. There

Road to Be Rushed.
It Is said the off loers of the associa
tion will be enabled definitely to an
nounce at the meeting this week
whether or not the Paclflo highway
will be completed by the Summer of
1916, aa was planned. It la the hope
and Intention of Northwest enthusiasts
to have a fine highway completed to
San Franclaoo for the Panama-Paolflo
Exposition at that time, many of the
automobile owners being desirous of
going by automobile to the fair.
It has been predloted that the Pa
cific Coast will be visited by 100,000
automobiles from the East during the
Panama Exposition in 1915, and that
the Paclflo Northwest will be the ob
jective point of many tours If the Pa
clflo highway trunk road from Mexico
to Canada Is completed.
C. C Chapman, manager of the pro
motion committee of the Portland Com
mercial Club, la busy working out de
tail for the Paolflo highway conven
tion. ' He probably will play an active
part In the meeting, as will Frank M.
Fretwell, secretary. - Mr. Fretwell. who
is a Seattle man, has worked unceas
ingly upon the Paolflo highway project-
White Salmon to Get Road.-
HTJSTJM, Wash., July 29. (Special.)
That the Northwestern Electric Com
pany have in view the building of a
railroad up the White Salmon River Is
Indicated' by the fact that President
Condlt, of the company, is negotiating
for a townslte In the Upper Valley near
Trout Lake. The company's surveyors
have been in the field ascertaining' the
most feasible site for a new town. En
gineers put in several weeks near the
