THE PARTS OP THIS FAMOUS CAR will be on exhibition at our salesroom all this week.
Hundreds of prospective owners have seen the working parts that made possible this real
pioneer pathfindinjj trip. And they were impressed that even this trip the gruelling
"First-to-Hazelton" grind touched lightly the real strength of a Flanders' ' 20." Have you
seen themt Come up tomorrow and closely examine all the parts; convince yourself and you
will then understand why it stood up under this terrific ordeal.
THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THE INSIDE of a Flanders "20"; what it's made
of and how it's made. "We want you to see what effect this 1281-mile journey had on the
under-tne-surface details the parts you do not see when buying an automobile, but which in
every Flanders "20" are paramount, because on them depends the whole life and usefulness of
your car. . . , 1
BE SURE AND COME ANY DAY THIS WEEK and see the inner workings of a Flanders
"20" laid bare for your inspection.
We intended to start rebuilding this car tomorrow, but we think, from
the interest the present exhibit has created among prospective automo-
bile owners, we are warranted to continue it another week for the bene
fit of those who have been unable to see it. We are open today. Come
In and inspect the parts. We guarantee it will interest you whether
you own a car or not.

and at innumerable placea the route
cf the old road liaa been changed and
new and better tirades put In. This
Improvement I due to the enterprise
of K. Henry Wemme. He went ahead
V 1th many of these Improvements, and
when the money for expenses was ex
hausted he went on with the work and
paid the bills out of his own pocket. It
only remains now to cover the road
wlta crushed ro-k or gravel from
randy to Welch's Hotel In order to feet
hard-surface road, which may be
traveled nearly the year around.
Hotel laaprsveaseala Made.
There will be tUe same number of
mountain resorts this year. The hotel
at Oovemment Camp will be larger.
K. Coalman has erected an addition to
t.-.e old hotel bulldlnir that will con
tain about 49 rooms. This addition Is
built In front of and In conne.-tton
win the old hotel building that was
run by U. I. Yocum.
It Is the desire vf everyone who noes
to any of the resorts to reach Govern
ment Camp, as It has scenic attrac
tions of great beauty. A number of
new Suxtncr homes have been built
there.
Henrr Howe has purchased from
I. (j. Holdrn tha latter s Interest In
the Rhododendron Hotel property,
wnlch consists of a ISv-acre tract and
the hotel building, and la now the sole
owner. It Is announced that Mr. Kowe
will run the hotel under his personal
management this year. l!r. Holderu
who designed and built the unique
building called the Rhododendron Tav
ern, haa returned to the Portland fire
department.

portion of the Mount Hood district.
Tes-rre Trset la flat led.
The Mount Hood Hotel Company,
which purchased a liO-acre tract near
tha hatchery on tha Salmon River, has
platted ten acres Into sites for Sum
mer homes, which will he placed on
the market this year. - Thla tract Is
half a mile south of the automobile
road on tha Salmon River. The Mount
liouj Hotel Company had plant pre-.
pared fur a ' 40-room modern hotel
building last year and got some ma
terial for tre structure, but did not
start real work. It Is not known
whether the hotel will be erected or
not.
At Brlghtwood. a new resort at the
foot of Mclntyra Hill, a considerable
Summer place has been developed. At
this place a bridge spans the Sandy
Klver and a road follows the north
side of the Sandv River to the Howard
Hotel and the tira Turner mountain
home about IS miles toward Mount
Hood. Much of the land near the Junc
tion of the Zigzag and Sandy Rivers
has been platted and told to Portland
parties.
Meet He Itallway Wanted.
A greater Interest Is being manifest
ed In Mount Hood property than ever
before, between Oherryvllle and Gov
ernment Camp, and the Impression Is
quite general that tha time Is not far
off when an electric railway will be
built to the foot of Mount Hood, which
will make all the land desirable. Many
thousands of acres have been pur
chased between &tndy and the Sal'
mon River by men who are awaiting
the coming of the electric railway to
make developments
At Cherryvllle a fine large fruit dis
trict Is being developed with much
success, and scattered along the auto
mobile road are several farms on
which fruit being raised. The mac
adam road Mount Hood proposed
by Mr. Wemme will probably do as
much for the Western Mount Hood
district as the electric railway.
iMrroat Roatea 9nggeled.
There Is much speculation as to
route for an electric rnllwsy to Mount
Hood, and several have been surveyed.
One route Is up the Zigzag River along
the south side of the Rhododendron
Tavern to Government Camp. It Is
said that a mnaemte grade can ba e
cured over thla route. I O. Holde-n,
who has been over the route several
times, expresses the opinion that this
Is the most feasible one and that the
electric Una can end at Government
Camp on an easy grade. Another sur
vey Is up Mai mon River to Mount Ifood.
This Is said to be on a very easy grade,
and will cover a territory of great
beauty. The line would follow the
Salmon River for some distance, with
Hunchback Mountain on one side and
Hunchback Mountain on the other. An.
other route would be along the Sandy
River on the north aide of Mount Hood.
but this route has merely been dis
cussed. Xillesil Park I rged.
In the district of the Zigzag and
Hunchback Mountains, there is tre
mendous water power now polng to
waste. There Is a great fall on both
Salmon and Zigzag Rivera The auto
mobile road crosses and recrosses
numerous streams. Another asset of
great value Is tha timber, of which
there Is a great ' body surrounding
these resorts.
It Is conceded that most of the forest
territory up at and near Mount Hood
ourht to be preserved and will be pre
served, and that Mount Hood and a
surrounding district for 1 or :o miles
should make up a National park. Some
efforts have been made with this In
view, but nothing definite has yet been
aorompllahed. but with the constantly
Increasing travel to Mount Hood every
year It Is believed that the Federal
Government will finally recognize that
Mount Hood should ba mad a National
park and kept sacred for the benefit
of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest.

Sncorst of Big Manufacturers Is
Based on Willingness to Aid
All ' Owners.
"An 'automobile without the proper
service department Is like a locomotive
without tracks." It the way L. H. Rose,
Northwest manager of the Studebaker
Corporation, sums up tho value- of
"service." '.
"What an owner really buys when
purchasing a car from a reputable con
cern is the co-operation of the manu
facterer through the service and parts
departments." continued the Studebaker
representative. "This, helps the owner
to get the most value out of his mi.
chine. He can tour all over the coun
try with the assurance that should any
thing go wrong, or should he break any
part, the matter can be economically
and speedily remedied.
"For this reason, the larger manufac
turers are going to the expense of es-
tabllshlng branch houses in the impor
tant centers of the automobile trade
with agencies In nearly every town of
any reasonable size in the United
States
"In buying an E-M-F or a Flanders,
as In the case of other cars manufac
tured by responsible firms, the pur
chaser buys tho co-operation facilities,
conveniences and economies of all these
agents. He Is guaranteed our service
as long aa he la an owner.
. "The automobile dealer who wishes
to build -tip a permanent business mus
carry a complete stock of parts of the
car or cars he represents. This is es
sentlal. It Is why we carry a (50,000
stock of parts in every branch. This
consists of every part that goes Into
E-M-F and Flanders cars. Our owners
can ask for anything they may choose
and we will have it on hand, thus sav
lng the time and expense of long dls
tance shipment from the factory."

Other tilings be
ing equal, the tire
that is mo& easily
and mo& cheaply
repaired is the
mosl: economical,
tire to buy.r T
AS a matter of fact other things are
A not equal. Diamond Tires not
only give greatest mileage, but they
are as much superior in Repair
ability as they are in Mileage.
" C. Any repair man will tell you that a're-1
pair put in a Diamond Tire will stick but
that he cannot guarantee a patch on any
other tire, that even should you cut or
smash a Diamond Tire hard enough to
break the fabric, the injury is only local
and can be repaired. The same accident
would ruin any other tire beyond repair.
C Diamond Tires suffer less severe in
juries than any other tire, and when they
are injured it costs less to repair them.
C The most important point about a tire is quality,
the type is secondary. Diamond Tires are made
in all types, all sizes, and to fit every style of rim.
You can get in Diamond Tires any type that you
want, and in any Diamond Tire that you choose
you will get what no other tire can give you
the Greatest Mileage and the best service that can
..be built into a tire of that type.
In addition to depenaame dealers every
where, there are FIFTY-FOUR Diamond
Service Stations. Diamond Service means'
more than merely selling tires it means
taking care of Diamond Tire users. -
