of numbers, enjoyment and enthusiasm.
Is tha proud boast of tha officers, and
from present Indications their asser
tion will ba fulfilled.
It Is planned to leave hare early
aezt Tburaday morning and run through
to Gearhart that day. In order to do
this, however, it Is Imperative that an
early start ba made and to Insure tha
carrying out of tha programme tha
tour committee has requested that the
ears leave tha starting point, Sixth
and Alder streets, not later than 7
o'clock. Many will be ready for the
Journey at . Tha earlier the better,
say tha motorists.
Friday will be Tortland day at tha
Astoria Centennial, and the automobile
club will go to the carnival city to a
body that morning- to participate In
tha parade and otherwise help to make
tha occasion a credit to Portland. There
will ba three races for amateurs. Sat
urday at Gearhart. Many will return
borne Sunday, although tha majority
have slgniHed their Intention of en
Joying the cool sea brecics and the
balmy beach atmosphere throughout
the Sabbath, coming back to Portland
Monday.
During tha past week many parties
have driven from Astoria to Portland,
and they were unanimous In praising
the acenlc charm of tha route and tha
fine condition of the roads. They ad
mit that la Mint spots tha traveling
was not of tha best, but declared that
those stretches were decl.l-sdly few and
far apart. Senator Kulton made the
trip In 10 hours and did not ex lead
bis machine to Its capacity.
Tha last leg of tba journey, from As
toria to Gearhart. la over the smooth
beach road. Thla stretch Is Just aa level
ind clean of chuck holes aa a billiard
table. It Is said.
The auto club has arranged for the
accommodation of SO people at tha
3earhart Hotel and tha first to apply
for reservations will ba taken car of.
Many who Intend making the trip do
not attach due importance! to the neces
sity of registering with the club's sec
retary or lTeldenl Clemens. Mr.
Clemens yesterday said that a number
have told him they were going but
that they bad falld to notify the sec
retary or send blm a memorandum to
that effect. Ha requests that tbosa
who have not compiled with this do so
at one.
Tha three gentlemen's races pro
grammed for Saturday are. causing no
nd of Interest. Keen rivalry as to tha
t lee mess of cars extras between a great
number of club members. Thoeo dis
putes will be settled finally on tha
beach speedway. Ad tha amateur

Coarse) Is Perfect. .
The course, over which the machines
will glide Is perfect. It Is said to ba
even better than tha track at I'alm
Beach. Fla, Tha events will be run
off when tha tide Is low. Composed of
a surface aa hard aa tha proverbial
billiard ball, tho course will make an
ideal ona for a test of skill and speed.
Three trophies have bean donated for
tha race. Ona comes from Carl 8. Gray,
motor enthusiast and president of tha
North Bank Uallroad; another from
the Oearhart Hotel and ona from the
Astoria Centennial.
Tha Initial event will be for cars
under 30-horsepower. Tha second con
test will find the runabouts lined up,
and tha third will be for machines of
Sv-horsepower and over.
Julius L. Meier, chairman of tha
committee which worked out tha dr
tails of tha tour: Harry L. Keats and
Oliver K. Jeffery. his energotlo co
workers, and President Clemens de
serve much credit for their unfailing
efforts to make tha tour a success. In
tha first place, tha trip was suggested
by Mr. Meier and with the co-operation
of tba committee and tha president,
aucceeded In working up aentlment In
favor of tha tour and enlisting tha aid
f a number of members.
Mr. Keata and Mr. Meier went with
the pathfinder that biased tha trail,
and after taking Into consideration
road conditions and the scenery, have
selected what tbey and a great many
others declare to be a rout unsurpassed
in tba entire country- A map of tha
routa was published by Tba Oregonlan
last Sunday.

KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. Aug. 1.
( Special. William O. Carroll, tha en
gineer who has been In tha Crater Lake
National Park for tha last month, sur
veying roads, has completed tha work
and left Klamath Fstla Thursday morn
ing for Portland. Mr. Carroll saya that
tba proposed automobile boulevard
around tha Mm of Crater Lake has been
located, and so have several other roads
leading to the park from several direc
tions. While this work Is only tentative. It
Is believed that tha Government will
make appropriations for building "the
roads. Tba ona around tha rim will be
tha most costly. 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

Tha plan of the Portland Automoblla

Former Idaho Man TeU Tronblea to

IL llolohan. formerly of Idaho, who re.
cently wrote to the Secretary of State
complaining of being compelled to pay
three auto licensee In one year, .has
again written to Olcott. explaining tha
Joya of an automobile owner. He says:

and wrote you. with S3 In closure- As you
drive down the street you see a policeman
looking at you from the snsde of a tree
on the opposite corner, you then begin to
wonder what you have done or omitted to

UPKEEP OF AUTO
IS ELASTIC T
Size of Bills for Repairs and
Sundries Depends on
Owner Himself.
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.

company figures that a motor truck

which is under cultivation.

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."

member of tho Portland Automobile
Registry, that a petition will be pre

decided to take this step after hear

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

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.
