Bills formulated bv the statewide committee were changed In a great many instances. It win not be known until after the meeting of the Mate Grange In May whether that bodr will present any bill. An effort will be made to In duce the farmers' organlzaton to with draw It objection to ,n slate-aid plan adopted by the statewide- commit tee. If this plan Is put through, the county bonding act of the state tirange will be accepted by the atstewlde com mittee. Hy this acheme. a'.! bll's would have the support of both factions. C. E. Spence. master of the Plate Orange, via a memtier of the compro mise committee and declared that lie wonld put the state aid iiuestlon be fore the grange at the Spring meeting. He did not. however, hold out ariT great hope that fie farmers will change their altitude. It as tl'.e earnest desire of the mem bers of 'he conmlttee to auree on one set of bills. With the undivided sup port of the Plate lirance and the Ore gon As"octatlnn f.r lliichwar Improve ment, the bll's would stand a great .lent better chance of betnu accepted. If two sets of bill are resented. It 1s feared that neither will pass. Opposition from the State Orange was ausrd bv the sia: al.l plan provided ' for In one of the bills adopted by the sts.tewl.ie committee. Kour of the five " members of the special committee favored state aid. Hvery effort was "made to convince Mr. Spence of the necrsaltv of this provision. He would not b-id however, and finally an roun.ed that l e did not have the power to Indorse state aid f-r the State Orange . The following statement was signed bv V. R Aver. C T. J'ral'..

Hurry, head of the International secretary de partment of the student Young Men's Christian Association with headquar ters In New York City, passed the day In Salem, visiting Willamette Unlver sltv. Mr. Horry passed several hours with tiie V. M. C. A. cabinet of the university, with whom a general plan for active work was outlined. Mr. Hurry left for Corvallls. where he will work In conjunction with the Oregon Agrcultural College Y. M. C. A. for several days. one knows Just what form of amuse ment is to be perpetrated ui-on the guests who assemble- Thursday even ing at S o'clock In the banquet hall of the Hotl Multnomah. Judging from announcements, one of which says that "each speaker will be equipped with a self-starter no cranks clluwed) and once under wa; a hM p&ce must be maintained on accelerated spark with throttle wide open and carbureter feed ing an ultra-rich mixture." it would appear that some rapid-fire orators, at least, are on the programme. Assurance has been given by the chairman of the entertainment com mittee that there will not be a dull moment during the entire programme. This Is borne out by the "gas coupons" which admit the bearer to the banquet hall and confer upon him the privilege of evidencing disapproval of any orator or entertainer by casting articles of the menu In the direction of the of fender. The admission coupon strong ly resembles the membership csrd of the club, which It burlesques, and con tains on the back a travesty on the ar rangement that exists between the po lice department and the club. Reservations are being received at Secretary Potter's office and he pre dicts that the aeatlng capacity of the banquet hall will be taxed to Its ut most. Brief speeches, telling of the work accomplished by the club during the year, will be made. Kath oration will be limited to five minutes. Plans of the proposed clubhouse. which will be erected on the club grounds on the Sandy road, will be on exhibition. Tacoma motor car dealers are wax ing enthusiastic over the outlook for selling cars. Their Initial automobile show, held under the auspices of the Tacoma Automobile Dealers Associa tion, closed last week. During the ten days of the exhibit the dealers sold more cars than In any like period In the history of the city. "Dad" Foss. the Garford expert, con ducted the Garford booth at the Ta coma show. He returned to Portland Gia SELF STARTING DEVICE LET US TELL YOU WHAT IT IS All Chalmers "36's" are equipped with the Chalmers self starting device (compressed aiv type) and is covered by CHALMERS PAT ENTS. ' The extreme SIMPLICITY and RELIABILITY of the CHAL MERS SELF STARTER makes it superior to any self starting device yet used and does not add appreciable weight to the car. The liability for trouble to develop through continued use is less in the Chalmers type of self starte- than any system we know of. Every part of it is unusually accessible and Is easily and inexpensively repaired when necessary. There i : only one moving part in the entire system and no expert knowledgj is required to INTEIJjIGEHXui uajki; lor ana OPERATE THE CHALMERS SELF STARTING DEVICE SUCCESSFULLY. A good deal can be said about the construction, efficiency and chances for tronble to develop in the various starting devices, but in view of the fact that all starters are to a certain extent an un known quantity, it is probably best to leave the public to judge for themselves the superiority of the CHALMERS STARTERS, as an intelligent demonstration of this fact can only be had after a rea sonable amount of use and natural abuse that various starting systems will be subjected to. We have delivered about 150 Chalmers ,'36's" to date and not one single instance has developed where a CHALMERS STARTING DEVICE has failed to work when operated according to the few simple instructions given the owner on the delivery of the car. The CHALMERS SYSTEM is such that it is mechanically impossible for the compressed air to .fail to turn the engine over when applied by simply pushing a button on the dash. The running of the car will keap the desired pressure in the startin tank at all times, and while you would be led to believe that considerable running is necessary before the desired amount of pressure is stored in the tank sufficient to start, we will demonstrate to you that 100 lbs. of air can be stored in the CHAL MERS pressure tank in less than five blocks' running. There are CHALMERS "36's" in use that have run upward of 7000 miles and owners will tell yoi the further the car is run, the better the starter works, for the reason that the engine is Umbered up and requires much less air than when the car is new. , All the starters now used no doubt have their peculiar advantages, but the starting feature of any car should be accepted as a permanent improvement and not a fixture to be used as a talking point in the selling of the car when it is new. The CHALMERS SELF STARTER will not deteriorate through use; nor will it 'be a source of r.nnoyance or expense in order to keep it in working condition. The feature of self starting should be carefully investigated. Give US an opportunity to explain to you just what the CHALMERS SELF STARTER consists of, and then judge for yourself. L. KEATS AUTO CO. BURNSIDE, SEVENTH AND COUCH STREETS H last week wreathed In smiles. Ills success In the City of Destiny was bg and It was surprising- "I never dreamed there were so many people in and about Tacoma who wanted to buy automobiles." mused the genial "Dad" on his return. "There were 14 cars represented and all did a good business. Nine Garfords were sold as a direct result of the show and I am sure that B3me of the cheaper cars did a great deal better. 'Besides the Oarford, the Ford, E-M-F, Flanders. Wlnton, Mitchell. Max well. Palmer-Singer. I!eo. Stoddard Dayton. Cadillac. Chalmers. Jackson and Overland cars were displayed. The exhibit was worth going miles to see." In pointing out the vast benefits to be derived from an automobile show. Foss said that on the two Wednesday nights and the closing night there were more than 17.000 -people who paid admission to see the display. The af ternoon crowds were not Included In the figures. . After passing several weeks in the East and the Middle West, visltine old haunts and conferrinsr with factory heads. Captain William H. Gray, dis trict manager of the Diamond Rubber Company, is back at his desk, glad, as he says, "to be back In God's country." Although enthusiastic over business conditions In the East. Captain Gray had no word of praise for the country ItsWf. Like the majority of others who have become firm boosters of the delightful climate of the Northwest, he could not pet used to the biting cold. Tire companies, says Captain Gray, are planning to double their output of 1911. He declares that the industry Is In a healthy condition and that the tlremakers are planning many exten sive improvements in order to keep apace with the demand. Willamette U Names Delegates.
