If all motorists were as keen boost ers for the Pacific Highway as Lewis X Thompson. Portland architect, the "Road of Three Nations" soon would be a veritable boulevard stretching the entire length of the Pacific Coast. Mr. Thompson, enthusiastic motorist and a proud member of the Chalmers family, drove to San Francisco and back recently and collected complete data about the Pacific Highway be tween the Oregon and California me tropoli. He will turn hlg road lnfor matlon over to Frank Fretwell. eecre tary of the Pacific Highway Assocla , tlon. j Jlr. Thompson probably has the most ; complete mileage data ever gathered 1 lor the trip.

WHITE CARS PROVE WIXEKS American Autos Showing Worth ln Foreign Competition. American-made automobiles are prov ing; their supremacy in foreign fields almost daily. A signal victory for Vnlted States products was won when the White fleet ln the war office trials of Russia came out with a clean rec ord. After a sruelllns; trial -trip, over roads almost impassable, the cars were completely dismantled to note the wear and tear caused by the hard strain.

BAD ROADS ENCOUNTERED Charles Snyder Arrives ln Portland and Tells of Very Muddy High ways Met With ln Southern Portion of.. Oregon,.. Charles Snyder, a retired ore buyer and now an orange grower in Call fornla, was here a few days ago, hav ing; traveled all the way from Pasa dena, CaL, by auto. After a brief stay he continued his Journey to Seattle and Vancouver, B. C. He shortly will re turn to Portland and Intends to pass two weeks camping; near Crater Lake. "With Mr. Snyder was Mrs. Snyder, Miss Ann Sutherland, of San Francisco; Miss Bess McCormack, of Reno, Isev., and Miss Gertrude Upton, of Los An geles, and a prize bulldog, which had a special seat Just above the running board. The party traveled ln seven-pas senger Pierce Arrow six. 48-horse power. The car was well equipped for comfort. Car Well Provisioned. The two extra seats were taken out to make room for the bedding and the tent. Each member of the party had a special pneumatlo air mattress and sleeping bag of the Alaska variety, while the spacious tent that acted as a garage, ln addition to providing a hotel for the party, occupied little space. Collapsible poles went under the running board, as did fishing rod! and other sporting articles. Affixed to the back of the car was a specially constructed Iron box, some what narrower at the top than at the bottom. This contained five fiber suit cases of unusual dimensions, to avoid crushing the clothing of the women. They were long and broad, though shallow. At the top of these cases were two compartments, one of which held the cooking utensils, made of aluminium: the other for the food stuffs. Stowed away In the same Aladdin's box were collapsible chairs and lunch eon table, while rifles, water bottles, etc., were under the other Tunning board. Electric light was provided, even down to cigar and clargette lighters, and a special plug was for the Illumination of the tent, which had an extra top to It, large enough to cover the automobile. Roada Are Muedy. "N"o need of hotels, no need of any thing," was Mr. Snyder's tribute to his car. "We did experience some of the most abominable roads I ever want to see, though. Everything wsa alright until we got to Oregon. The weather through California had been fine and the roads were dry and good. When we reached Oregon we began to be bothered by bad roads. On arrival at Medford we were told by many men. Including the garage men, that we would bo foollah to attempt to go i FUN Road 2, the Perry at Play With Collapsible Tent and Garatre Combined ln through on our own power. They ad vised us to ship the car and make cer tain of our arrival. "That did not appeal to me. I had never been beaten with my car and I thought that nothing would come up that it couldn't tackle. We went through, but for many miles of the way we were up to the axles in stlcSy mud, and in places the road was lit tle more than a trail. For. nine miles, from Comstock to Cottage Grove, it was mud up to the hubs all the way. The road overseer said that rain had fallen ln that locality for two weeks, which accounted for some of It, bnt even in dry weather the roads would be bad." As will be seen from one of the pho tographs, water was encountered in more than one place. The party left Pasadena June 22 and covered the entire 1183 miles in ten actual running days, tnougn tney iook two weeks altogether, including stops at Shasta Springs and other spots. No misfortunes, no undue delays were ex perienced, and-the driver declared that the car came through ln fine shape. NATIONAL ROADS URGED NETWORK OF CROSS-COCXTRY HIGHWAYS SUGGESTED. Dealer Declares Fine Roads in Coun try Districts Would Solve High Cost of Iivlng. "A subject that appeals to automobile owners Is the establishment of a sys- temvof National highways, connecting every large city and place of National Interest from coast to coast," says A. A. Graham, Stevens-Duryea distrlbu ter. "It is astonishing when one thinks of the attention given the subject of road building during the days of estao- llshment of our Government, that after awhile enthusiasm should dwindle down to such a degree as to be incomparably outstripped by progress made along other lines. But I believe the country la now very much awake. Nearly every body from the President down is talk ing srood roada It Is not an unweignea statement to say that the matter is one of universal importance. Few sub jects relating to material Interests are so broad ln their scope. It touches the Interests of the millionaire, the farmer and the mechanic alike. "A uniform, ss'stem of good roads will be a great step in the solution of the Droblem of high cost . of living. Millions of dollars are annually lost to the farmer because he Is unable to get his nroduce to market at the right time, and city prices are kept high because produce cannot be obtained: Good roads the year round will contribute as much to prosperity, development and welfare of the entire Nation as the rail way, the lnterurban, the automobile or the telephone to some communities. 'Nothing retards civilization ana progress like Inaccessibility. The bar riers of the forest or rugged hill are ofttlmea as effectual as seclusion be hind a prison wall. With good roads through the Cumberland .valley, tne Ozark Mountains, and many other such districts, the notorious poverty and ignorance in those communities would disappear within a few years, and the great wealth of natural resources of these regions opened for the enjoyment of millions of people. No expenditure of public money could be more profitably made than ln building National highways and assist ing the states ln road. Improvement." , AUTO TAX INVALID? Salem Motorists Explain Why They Believe It Is. MONEY GETS TO TREASURY Argument Advanced That This Is In Violation of Amendment Requir ing Taxation Ivans to Go - Before Voters. oALEM, Or., July 19. (Special. V The attitude assumed by William Wes tln's attorneys uf Portland relative to the motor vehicle law -affecting speed regulations within the corporate lim its of cities and towns is one which a 'majority of the motorists here have taken for several months. It has been considered here that those provisions of the motor vehicle law which provide for speed regulations within the limits of incorporated .cities and towns are Invalid because of the extension of powers to cities and towns by which the Legislature may no long er pasa, special laws amending or re pealing charters of municipalities. It has also been declared that the en tire act is unconstitutional and null and void on the ground that It Is ln conflict with the county tax amendment of 1910. By that amendment provision is made that no laws governing taxa tion or .exemption shall bo passed with out being voted on by the people. Inasmuch as the motor vehicle li cense law provides that over and above the expenses of Issuing the licenses and conducting the automobile department, all of the license money shall be turned into the general fund of the state treasury, it is stated that collection of such licenses is placing a tax on the people, and Is not a regulation of the police power. As the motor vehicle law was passed by the Legislative session of 1911, after the county tax amendment had gone into effect, and as it has never been before the people for sanction. It Is declared that the provisions of the act are plainly violative of that provision of the constitution. Mitchell Off for Factory. For the purpose of inspecting the 191S Mitchell line, H. W. Mitchell, man ager of Mitchell, Lewis & Staver, left for Racine last week. It is the custom of the Mitchell Motor Company to call in its representatives, that It may thor oughly familiarize them with the con struction and features of the succeed ing year's line. If 'the success which has attended the 1912 line may be used as an Indication, 1913 should be a ban ner year for the Mitchell product. Centralla Cannery Will Open. CENTBALIA, Wash-, July 20. (Spe cial.) At a meeting of the Centralla Commercial Club last night it was de cided to operate the cannery ln this city next year, the plant having been closed down for the last 18 months. The club will work with the Centralla Fruit Growers' Association in making the In dustry a success. Models for 1913 Show Greater Attention to Comfort and Convenience. THREE MODELS BUILDING Motor Stroke Increased Air Pump Included in Equipment, Driven From End of Countershaft. Electricity for Lighting. An examination of the 1913 models of the Locomobile shows that not only do they retain all the Locomobile funda mentals, with certain refinements, but also that greater attention than ever before has been given to those tending toward greater luxury, comfort and convenience. Three, models will be built for 1913, tne eix 48," developing S2-horsepow er. the "38" Little Six, with 60-horse power, and the . four-evlindor "an These will be furnished in iiouo, umousinev lanaauiet and roadster Dosies. ah have been re-desie-nA nt as the changes made on the "38" follow closely those made on the "48," a brief aoscnption or the latter only.

The cars are fitted with an electric lightln system. Current Is supplied for the head lights, side lights, tail light, hand ngnt, and ln addition ln the closed cars the dome light corner reading usna ana tne pillar lamps. The bat tery Is carried in a cradle under th floor boards, leaving the running board iree, wniio the control switch and Junction box are located on the dash. JJlsco starter for the motor has been Installed, the gas beintr obtained from tana which Is .to be carried acros the rear frame. Included In the eauiD merit Is an air pump for inflating tires, cleaning the motor and upholstery. I his pump Is driven from the front end of the countershaft and is ln on eration only when needed, there being clutch which cuts it off the shaft at other times. Sufficient hose is pro viaea to reach all tires. In the closed cars special attention nas been given to making them un usually luxurious. As an Illustration sterling silver finish Is now used on all parts which formerly were finished in brass. The seats are so arranered that all passengers inside face toward and the seats have also been made of un usual width. A unique feature of the lighting system equipment on the closed cars Is the small electric hand lamp. which is atached to a lone cable and can be used at night by the occupant: of the tonneau, or to advantage should it oe necessary to change tires. Motor Stroke Increased. An examination of the mechanical features of the 1913 "48" Six, shows a tew changes, notably an Increased stroke ln the motor, the bore of which four and one-half and tho stroke five and one-half. Contributing also to this increased power are the increased size of the valves, changes in the in let and 'exhaust passages, as well as a new carbureter. This carbureter dif fers irom tnat formerly used, pclncl pally in having a long throat, resulting in a more perfect mixture and per mltting much lower gas velocities. It Is supplied with a hot Jacket and hot air pipe, the quantity 6f hot air being regulated by a simple device. No change has been made in the Isr- nitl4- other than the installation of lx magnet magneto ln place of the one formerly used. The entire cooling system, including the pump and radiator, as well as the- hot water Jackets and connections have been made larger, so that - an ample supply of water may be car ried. The location of the pump has been changed to permit of the Installa tion of the generator for the electric lighting system, making necessary hange m the water inlet manifold. Generally speaking, the transmission, the propeller shaft and universal Joints and rear construction are unchanged in design, except that each part has been trengthened to take care of the in creased power they are called to, trans mit. Numerous other refinements are no ticeable, among them new valve lifters and guides. The fan is larger than for merly used and Is carried on ball bear ings ln an eccentric case, making It easy to adjust the belt.
