It will ba about 10 miles long. and. according to Engineer Carroll, tha traveler will have a view of tha lake for tha entire distance. While In pUees rt will have- to be con structed over rocky humps, tha road will aa kept as nearly on a level as possible. In order to do this, several deep cuts will bava to be made. TILLAMOOK. ROADS ARE GOOD BT. Irving Potter Extols County for Its Hlghway-Bnildlng. Tillamook County officials are band ed laurel wreaths for their work In the Improvement of highways by T. Irving potter, secretary of tha Portland Auto, jnoblle Club, who haa seen much of their work In tha rt fw weeks. Mr. Pot her asserts that TUIamoch County Is 'doing mora for the good roads causa than any other county In the state. That It will receive Ita reward, h de clares. Is beyond doubt. -The Tillamook people are spending from 150.000 to $100,000 annually In tba Improvement of their roads," said Mr. Potter yesterday. They are doing tlilnga while many other sections of the state are atlll wondering If tha returna will Justify tba expenditure. Their roads are a credit to any county In tha coun try, and I only wish a lot mora people In Oregon and tha Northwest would show tha. progressiva spirit manifest there." Mr. Potter brings back the Informa tion that the road from Tillamook to Bay Ocean la open and that but about four miles of the long stretch la in need of repairs. Thla la of rreat Importance to the local auto world," said Mr. Potter, "for It opena to automoblla trafTlo tha coun try around Bay Ocean and Cape MearS and affords Portland people a long tour over floe roads. I can personally vouch for tba good condition of tha roads from Tillamook to the sea. and evidence of the blsh stsndard of hlghwaya from thla city to Tillamook Is produced In the fa that a party recently made tha trip 110 miles in leas than five hours. The Tlllamook-PorUand roads are fully an hour faster than this time In 110. Where one used to strike long sections of corduroy now there la only a atretch of about a mile In tha Grand Ronda In dian reservation."

And this. too. at an altitude of nearly 1000 feet, thla height being kept for a long distance. Another bit of good news conveyed by Secretary Potter Is that the work of blasting a trail away up on the aide of the Necarney mountains la progressing rapidly. AUTOili GAINS MOCXT HOOD HIGHWAY PLA.V MEETS QCICK SUPPORT. Portland Motorists to RaUe $30,000 for Improving: Fin Drive. Subscrlptlona Are Liberal. Tha plan of the Portland Automoblla Club to develop the Mount Hood roads by popular subscription Is meeting with Instant favor, and the committee ap pointed to gather tha $50,000 needed has collected mora than 11500. Tha trip that ends at the base of tha snow capped peak Is considered by motorists ss having mora distinctive scenic feat urea than any other In Oregon, but tha bad roads over which an automobile baa to.be driven to enjoy this favor of na ture makes tba autolst think twice be fore attempting the Journey. Much Improvement has been done by county officials within the past two years, but as yet tha roada are far from being In the condition tha pleasure seeking members of motordom would like. Leaders in the automoblla field decided that the qulckeet and beat way was to raise a fund of $50,000 to repair the stretches of roads which now are In bad condition.

CARS BOON TO BUSINESS Man Men Cse Their Machines In Their Dally AVork, Turning Them Into Pleasure) Craft Sun days and Holidays. Tba automobile has ceased to be considered merely a plaything for the wealthy. Purchase of a car la as much '. t a business proposition with tha aver age man as the buying of a borse or tha purchase of a new home, or even a suit of clothes. He feels that he can Increase his business by the use of one, and at tha same time afford himself and bis family aome of the pleaaurea of life that otherwise would be de nied them. Many men use their ma chines In connection with their work during the day, and then take the family for a ride In the evening, with trtpa In the country on Sundays and holldaya. Despite this, aome bealtate about Investing money In a car, fearing that tha coat of upkeep will ba more than they can afford. Stories of now It cost one man $10 a month to operate a machine bava reached their ears, and they balk. . It Is undoubtedly true that many spend this muob to maintain a car. The people who do this, however, be long to the wealthy class, and In many cases own cars whose original cost ran up Into the thousands, and which are In constant use from early morning to late at night. They do not care what It costs to maintain a machine, for It answers their purpose, and they stand willing to pay tha price. They make tha original purchase with that knowledge, and do not complain when their bills for maintenance mount. Mnch Depends on Owner. For tha man of moderate means who contemplates purchasing an automo blla of medium price, and which he plans to operate himself, comparisons ara out of tha question. It would be Just aa reasonable for him to compare bla bills for keeping one borsa and car riage frith those of people who hsve several horses. To a great extent tha coat of upkeep of an auto depends on the owner and tha driver. He can make the cost very low or very high. Thla depends entirely upon tha use he puts the machine to. It can not be expectcJd that a car which runs on an average of T& miles a day, seven days In a week and this la a high average for cars In city use can be maintained for the same amount as a machine run about 40 miles a day. This latter figure about equals the mileage that a car covers In an ordi nary day's usage. It stands to reason that tba car which covers tha greater mileage will use up more tires, oil and gasoline, as well as suffer mora wear and tear. Tha streets or roads over which the ma chine Is driven and the manner In which It is hanalled In rough spots also has muh to do as to determinVg; what the cost of maintenance will be. If tires are not kept fully Inflated, and thla Is a point upon which many motorists are lax, there is added ex pense. The tire manufacturers, by long experience, have found that a certain slxed tire should carry so many pounds of air to insure satisfactory service. Reckless Drlvins; Expensive. High-speed driving and reckless turning of corners are great boost to big repair bills, as ara a doxen other things about operating a car, such aa too little oil and hitting ruts without gripping the clutch. There Is hardly a driver who estimates the real cost of speed. The destruction Increases not In direct proportion aa the speed Increases, but according to the square or even the cube. A car can be driven- at Z5 miles with comparative ease, but doubling the speed will work a ruin fonr times aa great aa the 16-mile clip. There are many reasona for thla Traveling at 60 miles an hour the driver may have to avoid a hole In tha road, and to do so violently apply tha brakes and perhaps skid the rear wheels. This Imposes a severe strain on the entire car and also works havoc with the"ttres. A properly-adjusted carbureter Is also a saving In the gasoline, for not only does the car run more smoothly, but there Is not the tendency to heat up that comes from a poor mixture, either too thin or too rich. There are many owners who have no knowledge of their -cars beyond tha starting, stopping and tha shifting of gears. When the slightest thing goes wrong they have to call In a mechanic and have him remedy the trouble. Not only does expense of this kind count up when the cost of upkeep Is figured out. but It proves expensive In another way. Failure to understand the car prevents the owner from getting the best service out of It. The owner who determines to gain a complete knowledge of his car. Just as he does his business, and applies It with the same care will have little. If any trouble, and the cost of upkeep will be reduced to a minimum. Kx-Fortland Chauffeur Dies. Word haa been received here of tha doAth of George A. Olbson. formerly a well-known Portland chauffeur. He was found desd in bed at Grants Pass last HlfJG week. Death came, as a result of heart disease. Gibson retired the previous evening apparently In the best of health. Gibson was operating a motor stagellne from Grants Pass to Crescent City, Cal., and hsd other automobile business at the time of Ms death. MOTOR TRCCKS' SAVING GREAT Company" Expense Drop $100 In Year by Auto' TJao. ' Interesting- statistics hAve been com piled by the Packard Company relat ing to the economyof the motor truck. In this lnstanoe the figures show a aav lng for a large manufacturing com pany of nearly $7000 a year by using a three-ton truck In place of horse drawn vehicles. The first year the auto averaged 1000 miles a month, and so pleased waa tha concern with tha re sults that It purchased another truck of the same type. ' Owing to the nature of its deliveries, the company found it cheaper to hire teama for the extra work than to keep the equipment In Its own barns. The average cost.

"REPEATED" TRIPS COUNT Owner of large Estate Declares Great Thins About Car Is That It Doesn't Get Tired, as Best of v Horses Always Do. While In tha East recently, Frank C Ttis-s-a. Portland agent for the Pack ard, was much Interested In meeting Morris M. Mlnton, a New xorker wno farms on a large scale. Mlnton told Mr. Rlggs what ha has been doing with a Packard track on his estate, whioh embraces 1800 acres, two-thirds of which is under cultivation. w a I. n nr m what S11 oh a jar. I.l. lull B.ivna vehicle can do, when operated Intelli gently, witn a large agricultural -prise. His. equipment throughout In cludes modern machinery for extensive farming. "My main ooject in using a uu.u truck was to save horses," Mr. Mlnton t ir "The truck has carried from the railroad station to the farm, a distance or lour mnes, over 1000 tons of fertilizer, two 40-ton car i e .n.1 9&no barrels of cement and carloads of various other materials. It has carried nva carioaas oi gram w the station, and transported 600 tons of small stuff. 'Frequently It has gone to Fishkill Landing, ten miles distant, twice a day with heavy loads. Short Trips Countless. "Its short trips are Innumerable. It takes grain to the mill and brings back the ground feed. It takes tree trunks to tho sawmill and carries back beams and planks. It carries hay or straw, as baled in the field, to the barns or store houses." It also carries stones to tho crusher. "Not a day has tfeen lost for repairs, and not one cent has been paid out for this purpdse. The expense of operating the truck Is about equal to the cost of maintaining two good teams, with oats at 60 cents. But four pairs of horses could not carry the loads so far in the same time. If at all. "Tha truck takes three or four tons and proceeds up hill and down at ten miles an hour, whether the distance be five miles or 50. Keeping it within a horse's limitations, say a round trip of 20 miles, with time to unload, the truck will do In three hours what will em ploy two teams for seven hours. Truck Can Repeat., "This is al the horses can do that day, while the truck can repeat the Journey two or tnree times u uv3si;, suffer' no hardship. It would take from eight to 12 horses to equal the performance of the truck.- One man can drive the truck, but It would take two. four or six men to drive the horses. - ... "Anyone who has experienced the conditions that surround the threshing of grain In the field oan recall the feverish haste of a farmer who sees his harvest pouring Into bags as fast as men can tie -them, the basrs mount ing Into a pyramid; the unthreshed grain coming to tha separator plied high on rocking; wagons; tha straw mounting up in great golden stacks; and night coming on with a grand promise of a heavy rain. "Up oomes the auto truck. Two men seize the ninety-pound bags and pile them on the truck, while the driver places fhem in the best position. Then comes a great sigh of relief as 6000 pounds or grain go off the field and away to the barns, a mile distant, at a ten-mlles-an-hour clip." sea Henry Lange, has purchased a 1912 Packard. e a s Owen McCuster, Jr., of tho sales force of Neate & McCarthy, la on a trip through the Salem district with Locomobile, Oakland and Ohio demon strators. see Frank C.

So Incensed are the members of the . . . j i,nnnhii. flub over the at- tltude assumed by Herbert Hegele. member of tho Portland Automobile Registry, that a petition will be pre sented to the City Council Wednesday asking for his removal. The charges will be. gross incomptency and perni cious activity. The board of directors decided to take this step after hear ing numerous complaints against Dr. Hepele'a methods, which, it is averred, would demoralise motordom if con tinued. The dealers' association also Joins in asking for his removal. The trouble began when, some two weeks ago, Dr. Hegele began stopping people driving machines and demand ing that they produce a chauffeur's license. Later the registry board promulgated a long list of rules to govern automobile traffic on Portland streets. This waa the last straw and decided for the organizations. They declare tbat If the rules were enforced the auto owner will be denied the privilege accorded drivers of vehicles of other character. The club and dealers even went so far as to retain an attorney to defend members who are arrested under the rules. Their reason for taking this action is be cause they say the city rules are In direct conflict with the new state law.
