' In Dominion of Canada.
Marathon motorists are piling into
Portland since the roads around the
country nave been opened up tor good
automobile travel. Two parties, each
with a record far above 6000 miles, ar
rived here last week and continued on
their respective ways. E. D. and A. N.
Mead, of Greenwich, Conn., trundled in
to. Portland in their Packard roadster
after motoring 7000 miles across the
continent from their home. J. M. Car
penter and B. E. Biles, of Los Angeles,
arrived here on their way home from
a tour of the East and Middle West and
across Canada and the Northwest to
Oregon. The speedometer showed 6350
miles.
Numerous parties from Seattle and
British Columbia points passed through
this city last week en route to Cali
fornia. fji Trans-continental touring has been
jjjl given a decided . impetus during the
past two years through the work of the
American Automobile Association, the
Touring Club of America and many
good roads' associations, all of which
: have combined to map routes and place
' accurate data In the hands of autotsts.
" 7 Many of the difficulties that formerly
f beset the trans-continental tourist have
been eliminated, and it is now possible
-' to awing across the country with com-
parati ve ease.
' Road Improvement Marked.
This is the second time over half of
, the route far J. M. Carpenter. Two
years ago he piloted a Dorris "30"
around the country east of Chicago and
... back over the northern route to Winni
peg. The Southern California motoring
" enthusiast declared that the general
" improvement of the roads since his
first trip Is so pronounced that it will
i . not be many years before the com
,. plaint about bad roads will be a thing
-' of the past. He has motored from Los
". Angeles to Portland several times dur-
Jng the past three years, and firmly be
lieves that in a few years there will be
r" a fine road from Southern California to
British Columbia.
- While touring In Iowa the Callfor--
nlans got a glimpse of careless driving
I that resulted fatally for a babe that
was in the car. It was the only lnci
i! ' dent that marred the pleasure of the
!) long, rambling Journey.
"There was a big car running about
n' two miles ahead of us," said Carpen-
ter in recounting the story, "and we
; noticed that it disappeared suddenly.
, When we came In sight of the car
i! again it was turned over near the
bank of a stream. One of the women
In the party was screaming for help,
i" "By the time the car was righted
and the prisoned motorists extracted
,: the baby was dead.
j ' "The driver. It seems. In attempting
!" to straddle a rut went too far out of
' the road and the car tumbled down the
! embankment. No one was hurt but
! the baby."

? Surprises galore were in store for
the wanderers when they left Helena,

V themselves on such fine luck, they en
countered the steepest, roughest grade
i on their whole trip. This was between

'! Road work was being done at this

M charging from ,3 to (5 for the half

'ii "It's no use of you trying to make
' ' it." he told Carpenter, after sizing up
': the modest proportions of their ma
' chine. "Great big machines come along
,' here and have to get the aid of horses

The grade itself wouldn't have been so-

"We would never have made it on
our own power if we didn't have a

3 a stake in the ground, attached the
rope to the stake and the wheels, and
then the machine Just hummed along."
Although no accurate expense fig-
ures were kept on the trip. Mr. Car-
ures b tvwv " " '

"It has been my experience driving

! "Gasoline for the entire trip aver

negotiations for British Columbia ter
ritory, F. L. Pierce. Western repre
sentative for the Regal, returned to
Portland last week. He is seeking to
establish a Regal agency In tbis city

Pierce is enthusiastic over the re
ception accorded the little underslung
cars in the North and la decidedly op
timistic over the outlook for the com
ing season.
The Regal has been without an
agency in Portland for more than a
year. It was formerly handled by
Charles Eastman, when he was at the
head of the company which had the
White agency. Pierce has had several
men after the Regal, but refuses to let
the contract until he finds parties that
he is absolutely certain will stick in
the business and make good represent

Truck Brings New Trade.
Out of a maze of figures comparing
the expense of horse haulage as
against the motor truck, a refreshing
letter comes to the Kissel Motor Car
Company in response to Its queries re
garding the performances of Klssel
Kar trucks in various parts of the
country. "I haven't kept any figures,"
writes this owner, a Southerner, "be
cause I didn't buy my truck for the
purpose of saving money. I bought it
to improve my service by insuring
quicker delivery. I reckon my local
newspaper ads, which read 'Motor De
livery," have brought me enough new
business In the last year to pay for
the truck.
."Ads" Bring Quick Resnlts.
That the R-C-H Corporations' an
nouncement of its 1913 touring car has
created a stir among motorists gener
ally throughout the country Is borne
out by the number of Inquiries that are
coming in to the factory and dealers,
as a result of the newspaper advertis
ing campaign Just opened. The num
ber of replies already received closely
approaches the volume that - resulted
from the first announcement of the
R. C. H. last Fall.
MT. HOOD ROAD OFFERS
FINE TRIP FOR AUTOISTS
E.-M.-r. "30" Finds Ideal Country Going on Way to Base of Snow-Capped
Peak Wemme Urges Anto Owners to Help Cause of Good Roads.
In a day has long ceased to be a feat
to attract comment, matting ine rounu
trip in an afternoon will soon be a
ment is continued at the rate It has
during the past year. Through the
energetic efforts of the omciais oi tne
Portland Automobile Club, particu
larly E. Henry Wemme, the route to
Rhododendron Tavern is a dream to
autolsts, and the trip, instead of be
ing marked by continual bumps and
rough, riding, is a long, delightful
trip.
Threatening weather kept the usual
crowd of Mount Hood motorists at
home last Sunday. While it rained
heavily here early Sunday morning and
n thrAarn cloudburst for
several hours after dawn, it did not
rain enough in tne country xo pui ine
roads In bad condition. On the con
trary, it acted as a sprinkler to lay
the. dust, which fact gave added en
joyment to the run. In some places
the road was slippery, but with chains
there was no danger of skidding. ,
Although it rained slightly for the
most part of the afternoon, the drive
was thoroughly enjoyable. A party.
LONG TRIP ENJOYED
San Diegans Motor to Port
land in Small Car.
NEW ROUTE IS SELECTED
Men Make Journey From San Fran
cisco In 1 1 Days and Then Con
tinue Their Jaunt Northward
to Vancouver, B. C.
Finding a route for motoring va
cationists. J. W. Rife and A. E. Rob
erts, of San Diego, made an out-of-the-way
trip from San Francisco to Port
land, arriving here last week after 11
days on the road with their sturdy lit
tle Flanders "20"
Having followed the beaten trail of
auto travel from San Francisco North
several times. Rife and Roberts de
cided to pick out a new route for mo
torists who like the wild and untamed
roads. That they succeeded was evi
denced by the condition of their ma
chine and the pictures they exhibited
on their arrival at the Portland Etude
baker headquarters.
With nothing but praise for the "beau
tiful rugged mountainous scenery
found along the route, the Southern
California Jaunters tarried long enough
here to tell of the good roads found,
the Joys of such a Journey and the fine
way In which their car pulled through.
Then they headed for Seattle, "Vancou
ver, B. C.. and Intermediate points.
They will motor back to California.
Although they carried a complete
camping outfit, expecting to be forced
to live out-of-doors considerably, not
once was the paraphernalia called into
play. They did not try to arrange their
schedule so that they would make
a town eaoh night yet each time they
decided to stop they managed to be
where hotel accomodations were to be
had.
Fishing and an occasional hunting
feast contributed to the . Joys of the
trip. Along the route they discovered
several streams of the kind that gladen
the heart of the angler, and game
abounded all through the mountainous
country.
Poultry Belt Traversed.
Leaving San Francisco, the wander
ing autolsts, who did not particularly
care which road they took, as long as
it headed in the general direction of
Portland, drove through Marin County
and on to Petaluma. After ' passing
through the chicken - raising belt of
Sonoma County they followed through
Glen Ellen, Santa Rosa, Healdsburg,
Cloverdale, Lakeport, Bartlet Springs,
Williams, Willow, Greenwood, Kirk
wood. Tehama. Red Bluff and on to the
Pacific Highway at Redding. The rest
of the Journey to Portland was via the
"Road of Three Nations."
Except for the steep grades In the
Sisklyous and the rough roads between
Redding and Dunsmuir Rife declared
Race Figures Interesting.
A perusal of the official full tabu
lated figures of the 600-mile race In
Indianapolis reveals some very unex
pected things, most'conspicuous among
which is the fact that, excepting only
one other car, the best time made by
any car during the last 60 miles was
made by Charley Mers in his Stutz.
Including W. L. Woempner, Paul Koeh
ler and Paul J. Feely, made the trip
In an E-M-F 30." leaving here at 9
o'clock and arriving at Rhododendron
Tavern, after an easy drive, at noon.
Except for a short strip of rough road
after entering Clackamas County, the
road was uniformly good. The time of
three hours cai. be lowered consider
ably If the driver had an inclination
to speed.
Numerous camping parties were seen
within ten miles of the tavern and at
least a dozen machines were found
along the route. : Ten cars had passed
through the .toll .-gate at 2 o'clock to
make the climb to Government Camp.
The, Toll Road Is In excellent condi
tion. Wemme urges automobile owners
who have not contributed to the im
provement of the Mount Hood road to
get in line and help the good cause
along. With several signs strung
across the road, he admonished all who
have not done their share to stay oft
the "private" thoroughfare.' On . tho
other side is an urgent request that
motorists see Wemme and contribute
M the further improvement of the
oute.
that he was surprised at the fine con
dition of the roads.
"Of course, you can't expect streets
when you are out in the mountains or
boulevards, when crossing sparsely set
tled country," added the San Diego mo
torist. "But for the country traversed,
I thought the roads were great."
Loyal to their home town, they car
ried a big banner on their car boostlnj
the fair that is to be held In San Diego
in 1915, marking the opening of the
Panama Canal. Every opportunity that
presents itself for lauding the Southern
California seaport is taken advantage
of by them, and in vigorous, enthusias
tic manner they tell of the glories of
the city and its tributary country.
Auto Travel Praised.
Advice is given to autolsts by both
Rife and Roberts to have nary a fear
about starting out on a trip over un
charted roads.
"In this age it Is pretty safe to go
anywhere with an automobile and as
long as one has the time it is the only
way to travel and spend- a real en
joyable vacation," said Rife. "We did
not have the slightest idea of the kind
of roads we would be forced to go
over, yet we pulled through without
the slightest mishap, thanks to the
great little car we have.
"The most dangerous part of the
whole trip was in the Sisklyous, where
the roads are winding and narrow and
very steep. Careful driving, good
bxakes and plenty of power is all that
Is needed to get through safely.
"Farmers in California and Oregon
are very hospitable. Many times we
stopped at farm houses to stay the
pangs of hunger and the treatment we
received was always courteous and
warmhearted."
VALLEY PROSPECTS BRIGHT
Fred Howe Cuts Trip Short When
'He Runs Into Bad Roads.
After spending four days driving
through the Willamette Valley, Fred
N. Howe, district manager for J. W.
Leavltt & Co., Overland distributers
for the Paclflo Coast, declares that
there are bright prospects for a record
sale of automobiles In that territory
during the coming season. Mr. Howe
examined into conditions closely and
la enthusiastic over the outlook.
While on the trip, which took him
over 400 miles of roads of all descrip
tions, the Overland manager kept an
accurate account of the gasoline and
oil consumed by his machine. It used
30 gallons of gasoline and one gallon of
oil, making an average of 20 miles to
the gallon. " '
Howe found worse roads than he ex
pected, and this fact cut short Mb trip.

VANCOUVER, Wash., July 2 7. (Spe

Washington's prise trout or hunt

out a $10 HcenBe, if the ruling, which
will be proposed by Prosecuting At

islature. Thousands of dollars are
spent-by the state annually to stock
its streams, yet it Is a noticeable fact
that a great percentage of the fisher
men in the Columbia River counties
are residents of Oregon, and every
Sunday evening sees the trains from
this side, filled with fishermen from
the other side of the river, carrying
home well-filled baskets.
As a border city Vancouver has also
earned the unenviable reputation of
being the city of mixed marriages, and
a law prohibiting this will als be in
troduced by Mr. Tempes at the Tacoma
convention next week. Being the first
city that Californians can reach where
the law does not prohibit inter-race
marriages, many Japanese and Chinese
have secured licenses to wed white
women here within the past few
years.

The everlasting search for improve
ment in the metals entering Into the
vital parts of automobiles and its ac

the .wonderful service these machines
endure. But a few short years ago
it was an every-day occurrence to read
of a serious accident in some part 'of
the country due to the failure of a vital
part of a machine.- Year by year these
failures have grown less and less and
today we marvel at the fact of some
machine having been driven over an
embankment or through a fence or is
upset and that no damage has been
done other than a few bent parts.
With all this improvement in the
quality of materials, the automobile

In this connection the makers of the
Mitchell car have recently made a
great "find." Several weeks ago an un
pretentious man, Herr Ingineur Pol
strovlta, presented himself at the works
with a letter of introduction from their
London manager. His mission was to
introduce a new metal possessing un
usual tensile strength and non-crystal-izing
qualities. The Mitchell laborato
ries have since been busy testing the
samples presented and with results so
far surpassing materials thus far
known that confirming tests were or
dered before the figures would be ac
cepted. It Is now rumored that the
manufacture of this metal Is contem
plated by a large steel manufacturer of
Chicago and the Mitchell Company has
acquired the exclusive use for auto
mobile service. Herr Polstrovitz has
been retained to supervise the produc
tion, which is by a secret process.
