Farmers Are Enthusiastic.
The news that the tour was again
coming through this section caused
much activity with the farmers in road
building efforts and the pathfinders
truck the country Just at the time
whan miles of the road had been under
the course of construction, and road-
building down South means as a rule
the throwing up of dirt from the road
side, where It is gradually rolled Into
haoe bv traffic
When the tour comes through the
roads will have been made, but the
pathfinders. In their luxurious Flanders
coupe, were forced to' work their way
through. The people of the country
south of Columbia and east or isasn
ville have caused many a laugh with
the pathfinders, as almost without ex
ception they have been frightened more
at the sight of the car than were their
horses or mules, whlon they nnany un
hitched, while the women folk and
children slid from the vehicles as
though their life depended on it, and
the horses seldom moved In their steps.
Whero hills have been encountered
the rains have washed the surface to
such an extent that detours have been
cut through the wood, the stumps still
tandlnar dangerourly high for low-
hung cars. The Flinders was seldom If
ever In difficulty from tnis, nowever,
and traveled steadily through country
that seemed Impossible.
Car Is Noiseless. .
In every city and town entered the
tourists. In their novel coupe, which
was absolutely noiseless and which
traveled so -steadily, attracted more at
tention than would have been the case
with an - ordinary car. and the path
finders were called upon to reply to
countless questions wherever they
stopped.
In the swamps which surrounded
. Corinth. Miss., where the tourists of
1910 were In such difficulty, the elec
tric found little trouble, and other
than spots where the roads were being
constructed made the trip easily.
The liveliest possible Interest In road
buildlna: work was found in county
after county during the work of the
travel, and a number of counties had
appropriated sums which In the total
amount to hundreds of thousands of
dollars for the construction of roads.
The country was found aroused to the
roads question and good roads all along
the route will follow as the result of
the present pathflnding tour.
From Memphis the tourists will
travel through Jackson, Miss., with a
detour from that point to Vlcksburg
and then from Jackson to Baton Rouge
and New Orleans.
BCSIXESS CONDITIONS HEALTHY
Presidential Uncertainties Do Not
Affect Demand for Autos.
That Presidential uncertainties are
not affecting general prosperity to any
great extent Is shown by the remark
able demand, for the best grade of
motor carriages and also for commer
cial trucks.
The Packard Motorcar Company In
tha two weeks ending July 31 shipped
2SS cars, of a total value of $1,275,000.
The cars left the factory at the rate
of 20 a day. Fifty-six trucks were sent
out In the same time, their value be
ing $196,000.
Because of this urgent demand for
vehicles, officers of the Packard Mo
torcar Company are convinced that the
general situation Is sound and are pro

CHARLES A. EASTMAN AT THE WHEEL OF HIS NEW MACHINE. . ' ' ...
Virtually every automobile owner has his "Ideal" car. Fixed In his mind Is the vision of the car that
he would like to have. Automobile dealers are not exempt from, this fancy, and while . the i majority
think tha particular car they handle Is a good one, all have certain little improvements that they tMnk
would add pleasure and convenience to it. The Ideal car Idea caught Charlea A- Eastman. -Knlght
agent, so strongly that ho set about to build a motor car that would completely satisfy him. The
result was a roadster? with a SO-horsepower Atlas engine, Apple electric lighting system, self-starter,
three warning signals, electric cigar lighter and a host of, other little conveniences. The car cost him
approximately $2,000. He .has included every worthy device on all cars and declares it to be complete
as possible without unnecessary trimmings. He -has named It the Eastman.'
BEACH TRIP 15 FINE
Dan J. Malarkey Tells of Run
to Neah-kah-nie.
PACKARD "SIX" IS VEHICLE
Scenery Described as Delightful In
Variety and Roads Are Good
Enough to Allow J 4 1-Mile
Jaunt in Eight Hours.
If you would taste of the Joys of an
Oregon motor trip which gives the au
tolsts all of the pleasures and none of
the hardships of the road, pilot your
car from Portland to Tillamook Bay,
and from there down to Neah-Kah-Nie
Beach. The trip can t be beat," Is the
advice of Dan J. Malarkey. whose Pack
ard "Six" conveyed himself and family
to the beaches last week.
In all my experience over the roads
of Oregon I don't believe those between
Portland and Neah-Kah-Nie. a shel
tered beach Zo . miles from Bay City
and 141 miles from Portland, can be
excelled." continued Mr. Malarkey. "I
have traveled over the much-talked-of
Pacific Highway from Salem to Port
land, but I would rather take the ocean
trip six times than the Salem-to-Port-
land once.
veyance aside from vehicles from the
livery stables, there are now inJJarsh
fleld alone 14 autos which are on the
street for hire. An auto line has been
established between MarshOeld and
North Bend and the machines are op
erated with the same regularity as
streetcars.
Autos are now used on the overland
routes from Coos Bay and the Co
quille Valley to Roseburg and over
roads which were heretofore thought
to be next to Impassable, at times, even
for the oldVfashloned stage coach. An
auto line for the past two years has
been maintained from Alleghany, on
Coos River, to Drain, on the Southern
Pacific Railroad, and,over a road which
two years ago was but a mountain
trail. Another auto line has been es
tablished from Bandon Into Curry
County to Port Orford, reaching, in the
most modern way, one of the most Iso
lated spots In the Coast country.
Every city in the county has Its au
tos for hire and making runs to near
by points and the number of privately
owned machines Is rapidly increasing.
A score or more machines have been
brought Into the county this season.
The owners of the autos have, to a
great extent, ' been responsible for Im
provement of county roads. The auto
owners include many of the prominent
men of the locality and their influence
has been sufficient to bring about the
desired road work. The good roads
movement In Coos County Is attrlbtued
to the auto operators as much as to
any other one factor. One of the chief
desires of the people now is to main
tain a first-class road from Coos Bay
to the inland, so that outside ,tourists
will find it convenient to Include this
part of the .Coast In their itinerary
while touring the state.

that narausa tha country roads extend

Company Organized to Produce All
Kinds of Gumware at Factory
on East Ninth Street North.
Within the last few months a new
Industry for the Northwest has been de
veloping quietly in. Portland and cul
minated last month In the organiza
tion of the Portland Rubber Mills, Inc.
A new and complete factory has been
equipped for the manufacture of rubber
goods of all kinds. The plant Is located
at 368 to 370 East Ninth street south.
At the present time there Is no other
factory In the Northwest and only one
other on the Pacific Coast, located in
San Francisco. The new company has
accordingly a large field open to It and
a tremendous opportunity for growth
and expansion.
J. A. Spencer-Smith, president and
general manager of the company, is a
man of wide experience In rubber man
ufacturing and in the handling of
mechanical rubber goods. For 16 years
be and his brother operated a large bi
cycle agency at Brisbane, Australia,
with several branches on the continent.
He came to the United States, eight
Tears ago and until last Fall was
identified with the rubber Industry at
Seattle, where he represented the Mor-
ganrWrlght tire for the Northwest. Af
ter the Morgan & Wright people had
merged with . the United States Tire
Company, Mr. Spencer-Smith sold out
his Interest at Seattle and came to
Portland.
Associated with Mr. Spencer-Smith Is
H. C Huntington,, of Portland, secre
tary and treasurer of the new com
pany, Mr. Huntington Is widely known
in lumber trade circles on the Pacific
Coast, as a manager .of the Pacific
Coast department of the Lumber . In
surers General Agency.
Mr. Huntington has resigned from his
position to take effect on November 1,
after whlclr he will devote his entire
time to the Portland Rubber Mills.
Rubber gaskets, washers, valves, ex
tractors, mats, stamp rubber and hund
reds of other articles In constant use,
which have until now been available
only through Eastern factories will be
manufactured. .
TRUCK BLAZES OWS TRAIL
Transcontinental AIco Runs Into
Bad- Roads in Wyoming.
For 70 miles between Laramie and
Medicine Bow, Wyo., the transconti
nental Alco truck was forced to cut
its own track 'across unbeaten plains,
when a cloudburst turned the roads
Into a sea of mud. According to ad
vices received from the crew, the truck
also had to resort to a wide detour
that brought the total distance cov
ered to 264S miles In 33 days of actual
running time.
"The entire section has been flooded
by terrific hall and rain," reports E. L.
Ferguson, captain of the truck. "Even
touring cars have abandoned the roads.
'We have passed no human being
along the road for two days; nothing
except an occasional herd of cattle.
The average mileage to date Is 80.2
miles a day. This takes Into account
the many hours spent In examining, re
planklng and, in some cases, rebuild
ing bridges.' For Instance, in three
days we Inspected 200. On another day
this work took eight hours of our
time.
From now on the trail, when fol
lowed, will consist merely of two ruts
four inches wide and E6 inches apart.
On . account of the width of the tread
of the truck and the double rear tires,
this means careful, slow driving.
"Style, smartness, comfort and re
finement are demanded by the automo
bile buyer of today," said H. R. Roberts,
sales manager of the Portland Motor
Car Company, which has the Wlnton
"Six" agency, In speaking of the sell
ing end of the motorcar Industry.
"Gone is the time when the automobile
can be looked upon as merely a. con
veyance for passengers and luggage,1
he continued. "Buyers are demanding
tne nnest or equipment, and In the
better class of patronage there is
sought refinement In 'outline and
touch, at least, of art. . . '
- "Most motorcars built today have a
good motor, a strong frame and well
built differential and transmission svs
terns. Of course, there are exceptions
to tnis rule, Dut, generally speaking,
It holds true. The present-day pur
chaser of an automobile, therefore, has
quit asKing so- many details as re
gards the various parts of the machine.
It has been my experience to have
but few prospective purchasers question
the strength of the wheels and springs
or tne nexiDiuty of the motor. Pos
sibly the fact that the Wlnton "Six'
holds the world's record for economy
or upxeep nas tended to eliminate the
usual volley of interrpgations as to the
stability add durability of our car. It
Is evidence ot the confidence the motor
ing public has placed in the integrity
oi tne manuracturer and his product.
Luxury ' Is Demanded.
"With the majority of persons who
are in the market for a - high-grade
automobile, their attention Is chiefly
centered in 'the amount of luxury and
comtort. they can obtain . for their
money. Whether he can puh a button
and light his powerful headlights, side
and rear lights;, whether he can, press
a small rod and start his motor hum
ming; whether the floorboards are clut
tered up with gear and brake levers.
or whether he Is able to stop his car
in an emergency with a "simple pres
uure oi me root, ana go from one
speed to another by shifting up or
down a short lever beside him these
are points taken into consideration by
the man who wants to buy a motor
car.
"The wonderful progress of elec
trical and mechanical engineering In
later years has made all the afore
mentioned conveniences jobtalnable. In
addition to these qualities, the comfort
and luxury of the present-day hieh
grade automobile,. as exemplified In the
1313 model Wlnton "Six which has
Just made Its appearance in the mar
ket, has been heightened to a degree
oeiievea impossible in a motorcar a
few years ago.
"Slncel897 the big factory of the
winton Motor Car Company at Cleve
land has been turning out ' machines.
and for the last six years the plant
has devoted its time to the manufac
ture of six-Cylinder cars exclusively,
Not a single radical change has been
made in the motor since 1907. a record
that speaks volumes for the skill of

out and the wheels are the artillery

design give the impression of "clean
design" and simplicity for which How
ard E. Coffin is noted. This simplicity
is shown in the motor, as an Instance,
there being but two grease cups on it
and other lubricating. parts throughout
the car being easily accessible and re
quiring but little attention.
"If you will look at the complete
ness of the car, you will see dozens of
little points of refinement that are
rather startlingto the layman," said
F. w. Vogler, the local Hudson dealer.
"Take just one little idea, for instance,
that of the lighting arrangement.
Often motorists are kept In a nervous
state for fear, on a badly lighted street
or a road where lights have gone out,
that they may be struck from behind
if their tall light has gone out. There
Is a dash light directly in front of the
driver inside of the '54k Hudson. This
dash light operates on the same wire
as the tall light. Should the tail
light be extinguished, then the dash
light by going out would Instantly and
automatically warn the driver of the
fact.
"There is nothing in the operation
of the car which cannot be accom
plished from the driver's seat.- It Is
self-cranking. The pressing of a.but
ton on the dash, starts the motor 100
times out of 100 trials. The gasoline
and oil pressure gauges are there, too.
"The new .Hudson cars will reacn
