Portland Architect Makes Journey
to Golden Gate and Back and
Xotes Distances Carefully
Between Towns.
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. He watched the speed
ometer readings carefully between
j the towns both ways, and- by the
of his figures It would be possible
' one not familiar with the route
' make the long journey, without
aiigntest airncuity.
Residents Are Favorable.
A firm believer Jn the logic of trunk-
une roaas and In the future of the Pa-
J clfto Highway, Mr. Thompson took
pains to find out the sentiment about

1 all the farmers appreciating the valne

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.
The Europeans were surprised to see
the condition of the American, ' machines.

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,

The attention of the observer

which are beautiful ln appearance, and
Incorporate several novel features
evolved by the Locomobile designers
together with the most advanced ideas

All bodies, including: the closed tvn

Cans Fitted With Electric Lights.
The equipment is complete. It In
eludes a glass front, so designed as to
De an integral part of the car, and
also a newly designed' cape top. 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

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.

Can Men Be Fooled
On Tires?
Are 200.000. Mistaken?
' That is the crux of the question.
Some 200,000 motor car owners have tested out
