Th. San Francisco competitive test
la only on. of many such run In all
parts of th. country of lata In which
th. commercial motor Tehtcl. vba.
proved Its aseertlona of superiority
over th. horae-drawn mod. of trans
portation. Th. auto truck Is dally Illustrating-
th. bright futur. In .tor.

through the, .ever, tests of fitness
and demands ar. far In eiceis of th.
Boaslbl. output. Automobll. prophets
so so far as to predict that within a
tew year a homes will b. as much a
rarity on city streets aa cowa and pics
and chickens ar. today.
-While I am naturally pleased with
th. performanc of th. wlnnlnK Whites.
I am squally a-ratlfled that tha work
of all other trucka entered proves that
there ar. many makea of reliable and
successful motor trucks." said C A.
troan. Oregon distributer of tha
White. In discusstns; tha remarkable
performanc. of his vehicle In th. San
Francisco contest.
"Numerous benefits will com. from
th. general adoption of th. automobll.
for all purposes. Tber. Is no doubt
but that th. tlm. will com. when
horses will not b. allowed oh city
streets, any mora than cow. and piss
and other animals ar. permitted to
run at larire now. Th. result will b.
th. savins; of many thousands of dol
lars for th. taxpayers In .treet repairs
every year, enormoua Improvement In
the sanitary conditions affectlnn th.
public health and a further savins of
much money In .very city each year In
tha handllit- of traffic now taken car.
of by bor.edrawn vehicles.
This chana. will tncrea.a th. speed
and efficiency of all transportation In
tha cities. Etarht times as much traf
no can b. bandied with motor trucks
ss can ba handled by horses In a street
th. same width during a riven period
of time. To put It differently. It Is
equal to multiplying; th. width of our
treat by eight. This Is because th.
motor truck takes up only about one
third th. room In th. . treats aa th.
four or stx-bors. team necessary to
haul aa equal load, and will run at
least three time, aa fast. Thla speed
will come about when tb. borsea cease
to block the auto from clvlng- tb. pub
lic th. aervlc It can.
The horse In th. city can no mora
void bains; displaced by motor power
than could th. old .tana coach atay
elimination by tb. railroad or th. now
out-of-date horsecar rule over th. elec
trlo type.
That th. motor truck must rapidly
dtsplac all horses used In municipal
work, such aa th. Dr. and police der
partments. ambulances and for depart
ment transportation venerally. la ad
mitted by all who have given the sub
ject any thouaht. Thla la likewise
true of all stage coach ins" and heavy
frelrhtlnc of materials and supplies
from railroad polnta to th. towna lying
off the main Una of travel, where they
muat haul ions: distances with teams.
Farseere Btetlt.
Tn farmer who baa a large amount
of haullnc to do will have bis horses
for plowlnjr and other work about th.
farm for which no motor davleo haa
yet been perfected. With tha Im
provement of roads, which la coins;
ahead rapidly ail over the country, the
farmer, ever on th. alert for a new
method of savin- money, will quickly
recognise th. economic value of th.
modem achievement. lie will have
railroad transportation expenses and
middlemen's profits on his farm's
product, by hauling- Ms produce direct
to th. city market place, though It bo
bo or 1 miles away. Instead of cart
in to a little station, then shipping
by freight to the city and there re-
handUng again, often two or three
time. This win be particularly true
of perianal-!, merchandise.
"It la cot unreasonable to presume
that within five years most of th.
plowing and oth.r heavy work on
large ranches will be done by motor
vehicles, aa It Is don on a large scale
at the present time by traction engines.
"Truly, man's beet friend has a lone,
earned und well-deserved reel coming
t him. and the motor-driven trucks
will be the mean, cf furnishing It to
him."

They met In the Hotel Seattle recently
and Shields made th. declaration that
he wanted an automobile.
Now It happened that Wright had an

continuously sine. the'Sumsner of 107,
and wanted to get rid of It.
"1 have an auto that would b. Just

"What do you want for It." Queried
Shields.
"Oh. moat anything wilt do." an

"Well." smiled back th. lumberman.
"I have three lots In Seattle and I'm

Two Football Star. Out of Game and
Other Are Injured.
OREGON AGRICULTtTRALi COL-Lr:-.K.
Corvallls. Or Oct. 14. (Spe
cial.) The first secret-vractlce of the
football squad at the Oregon Agricul
tural ColUse held last night proved
a serious blow to Coach Lolan's aggre
and to b. driving It myself. Winter
motoring has always seemed mora
glorious to me than tha Summer sport,
for tb. air la so much more crisp and
bracing. Sine. I hav. taken up driv
ing again, th. past few weeks, I hav.
been In splendid health and spirits.
If soma of the Portland w.men who
hav. automobiles know tha keen de
light and th. Invigorating effect of
being out In th. open In this crisp Au
tumn weather, and how much benefit
It wonld be to their health and spirits.
I am sure they would get away from
their steam-heated homes and apart
ments. "Winter motoring Is a sport which
th. women of th. East cannot enjoy,
on account of the snow and the In
tense cold, and wa ought - to appre
ciate mora th. opportunities In our
climate. A cover and curtain protect
on. snugly from tha Oregon rain, and
th. tonlo effect of th. keen, rain
washed air Is not only delightful, but
very beneficial, clearing th. brain,
leavening the spirits and Invigorating
th. general health."
gation by adding another mainstay to
tha Injured list. Captain May received
a sprained ankle and will ba out of
the game for at least two weeks.
With May and Evendon both out of
the gam. and three other huskies
handicapped by injuries, prospects look
gloomy to Coach Sam Dolan. Carlson
Is nursing a wrenched knee, but Is still
filling his position at center. Christ
man, the big Kentucky lineman, and
Shaw, of Aberdeen, have, sprained
ankles and may be compelled to retire
from scrimmage practlc. for several
daya
'Dolan ha put hi. men through a
hard week of scrimmage work, but haa
given considerable attention to th.
members of the second team. The past
three daya he ha been coachtng them
secretly "In the college armory, and
Thursday night, when the aggregation
was turned loose against the regulars,
worked a series of plays for big gains,
apparently having the first team men
at their mercy. It waa In this scrim
mage that Captain May waa Injured.
Although Dolan has an abundance of
material on hand, misfortune seem, to
be claiming the best men. At the be
ginning of the season May and Even
don formed a neucles for a strong dele
gation, but their loss may necessitate
soma unexpected changes In the lineup.

"I waa always In dread of a long
automobile trip," said Mrs. Schults. at
the Oregon Hotel last week, "but after
the ride up the coast I found It waa th.
most enjoyable form of outing I hav.
ever experienced. Instead of being
a severe trip it was a pleasant one alj

nounces that It no longer will follow
OUR
this custom. Kew features will be

company's engineers will not take the

make the car different from the pre

tomobll. manufacturers will not admit
that th. new model Idea ultimately will
be discarded, there Is a growing ten
dency among autolsts to have- a con
temptible disregard for th. dictation of
fancy. The buyers are trying to bring
about th. abolition of th. yearly model
and feel convinced, that they will ac
complish It In a few years.
