T. Y. Vogler Keturns IVom East
Optimistic Orer Outlook De
mand for Cars at Present
Far Exceeds Supply.
P Science of automobile building has
reached that state where improve
ments made each year are few. This
fact Is noted in the announcement
mode thus far of 1913 models and is
confirmed by automobile dealers re
turning from Kastern visits. In the
hifcher-priced cars electric liprh'tinjr and
Kelt-start InR syatems are virtually the
only mechanical improvements, while
details of luxury and conveniences
have pained mot of the attention of
the deplgncrs.
In the moderate-priced field cars
Bellini? below the $1500 mark but
plight changes have been made in the
latest models. Manufacturers in this
division have entered into an agree
ment, according to a Portland dealer,
not to equip their product with either
the electric liRhtinjr system or self
starter. This plan, it is said, will be
rigidly adhered to for all 1913 models.
The additional cost, it is claimed,
would be ruinous to the makers.
In support of the coiention that the
present-day American automobile has
reached a stasre of perfection is the
announcement that the Reo, Stoddard
Dayton and other cars will not differ
except in minor details from the 1912
line. tVord of the Reo stand ' was
brought here by F. W. Vogler, of tie
Northwest Auto Company, who re
turned to Portland recently after an
extensive Eastern trip.
That prosperity is the rule in the
motor-car industry today is the opti
mistic word piven out by the Reo man.
He visited several of the larger fac
tories while in thes Kast and on every
side, he says, he noted an air of pros
perity and optimism.
Fnlth Is Well Founded.
"There Is goon reason, too. for their
faith in the future." said Mr. Vogler.
Ridins across the country one is
jrreatly Impressed with the abundant
evidence of the prosperity of the coun
try in general. For miles and milen it
is one panorama of wonderful crops.
statistics gathered by automobile
manufacturers show prospects of the
most prosperous year in recent history.
AVhen the country in poneral is pros
perous It Is pretty certain that motor
car men will enjoy a mo6t successful
year."
The Northwest wholesale distributer
declares that the factories are havins
considerable trouble with their dis
trict distributers. He cities ills own
case as typical of existing conditions.
"I firmly expected to come away
from the Keo .factory "with a guaran
tee of 1000 cars for the ISIS season,"
he explained. "When I told them
what I expected they politely laughed
at me. They explained that it would
be out of the question to do this, that
their output would be too limited, even
with the anticipated increase over the
1912 production.
"From what I gathered In interviews
with leading automobile men In the
manufacturing end and with dealers I
met in Detroit, Indianapolis, Flint,
Lansing' and other sections of the
country, virtually all are in-the same
fix. The manufacturers are having a
hard time pacifying their agents. -the
majority of whom, it seems, want more
cars than they have been allotted."
Asked if 1000 Reos would not bo too
many for the Northwest territory, Mr.
Vogler explained that Portland, Ta
coma and Spokane dealers .together
want S00 cars. "And I have 58 agents
besides them." said the Heo man.
"With a good season t would be able
to dispose of 1000 Reos."
There is considerable talk in the
Kast about manufacturers doubling
their output. This, according to Mr.
Vogler. presents the case a little too
strongly. He says that, while each
manufacturer is figuring on an in
creased schedule, but few will increase
their output 100 per cent.
"The country would not stand it in
the first place, and next the producers
haven't the equipment to turn out that
number of cars," he said. "One can.
appreciate this by recalling the total
number of automobiles estimated for
the 1912 trade. Conservative figures
placj the total at 225.000. The market
could not possibly dispose of 450,000
cars."
Regarding the report that a " new
company has been organized to make
and market the Little and Chevrolet
cars, Mr. Vogler confirmed the story
that a $63,000,000 corporation Is now
la the field to do this work, under the
tame of the Republic Motor Car Com
pany. Present plans, ho said, call for
the erection of assembling plants in
Portland and San Francisco, to take
care of the increasing Western trade.
"No. I cannot say when operations
will be started in Portland or San Fran
cisco," said Mr. Vogler, who has the
Northwest territory for both cars. "The
men back of the company really intend
lulldlng factories out here, but It will
ire several months yet before anything
dflnlt on the question can be learned
Only the Little cars will be assembled
In the West.
Auoanrcd IMan Followed.
"This simply is following -out the
Jinounced plan of the Ford People to
erect assembling plants in varicu dis
tricts. The question has been given
serious thought by many manufactur
ers. It has been found that I: would
be good policy with the cheaper cars
but would not work out very well with
the medium or higher-priced rr.ichints."
While in Detroit Mr. Vopler wit
nessed the automobile purade and the
water carnival, two feature of the
'adillan.ua. carnival to commemorate tho
founding of Detroit by the xplorer.

bile parade, Mr. Vogler deciared U to

with lienry Ford. As a preliminary to

SOCIALIST HEARS ADVICE
German Farmer Gives Some Pointers
to Klickitat Countrymen. - -
WAKKIACUS, Wash.. Aug. 24. (Spe
Cial.) William S. Euler, a retired mer
chant of Tama County, la.,, recently,
with two associates, purchased the
well-known Chris Franzen farm near
Lyle.- Mr. Euler, who is in very com
fortable circumstances, intrusts all de
tails to his manager and passes much
of his time in other places.
Mr. Euler is a student of economic
and "philanthropic subjects. About 40
years ago, an orphaned German boy, he
began his career as a hotel "bellhop."
Later he conducted a mercantile store
in one place for 25 years and pros
pered. The German town in which
Mr. Euler lived had no Socialists. He
was unfamiliar with Socialism. Short
ly after coming to Klickitat he became
acquainted with a German Socialist
who handed him some literature.
Mr. Euler, while in Wahkiacus, re
lated the incident and congratulates
himself In the belief he has rescued a
good German from Socialism, after de
livering him a lecture in good German
language, and a part of the lecture
follows: "My conclusion, after read
ing the various literature handed me.
Socialism has a spirit of generosity and
self-sacrifice, but a decidedly question-

"Powell's ranch, about 30 miles west
of Oakland, was our automobile desti

were the first motorists ever to reach
that far from the traveled roads," says
Mr. Dyer.
"We had no reason to doubt the state
ments of the astounded natives that
the American Traveler was the first
automobile seen near Powell's ranch,
for on numerous occasions we were
compelled to chop stumps froi the
roadbed, while at one spot we had to

a 200-foot embankment. '
"It wasn't so bad outward bound, but
on the return trip, when the rain had

necessary to rope the front tire3 to

TRIP AROUSES INTEREST
ST CDEBAKER BRANCH TO AID
GOOD KOADS MOVEMENT.
A. II. Brown Finns Pathfindins Ex
peditions for Flanders "30"
In Oregon and Washington.
Since the pathflnding trip of the Stu
debaker Flanders "20" from Newport
to Slletz Bay. the Portland Studebaker
automobile branch has been flooded
with so many requests for photographs
and full account of the expedition that
the evont has assumed even more sig
nificance than its original local interest
seemed to possess.
Incidental to this, the Studebaker
Corporation has numerous requests
from other parts of Oregon and Wash
ington similarly handicapped by poor
road conditions to perform the same
feat in their sections with a view to
arousing interest in other localities in
the good roads movement.
Convinced by the broad and keen In
terest displayed that there was almost
unlimited opportunity in Western Ore
gon and Washington at this time to
render tlmejy aid to the good roads
movement, A. H. Brown, the ' new
Northwest manager of the Studebaker
Corporation, has decided to send, the
same car on similar missions.
The car will go out' early next week,
equipped with all extra apparatus nec
essary to undertake almost any feat
which Is within the accomplishment of
a motor car. Undoubtedly some will
develop that automobiles have never
before attempted.
The Studebaker pathflnding crew
will also render reports for the benefit
of all motorists as to road conditions
in such outlying parts of the country
as are not frequently traveled, thereby
rendering an additional benefit to the
motorlns public.

PENDLETON, Or., Aug. 24. (Special.)
jr. w. Mulkey, in his address before
the gathering of the Roosevelt pro

the City Hall tonight, made some rad
ical statements concerning constitu
tional limitation of judicial power.
"I am dissatisfied with the Repub
lican platform as announced by the
National convention at Chicago," said
he. "I could not take the oath of al
legiance to it and I could not accept
the tenets of the Democratic platform,
especially because of its attitude on
the tariff.
"I don't believe in the confiscation of
private property or of wealth In any
form, but I do believe that the welfare
of man should not be subordinated to
wealth. What the people of the United
States are In need of today is a Con
stitution which will enable Congress to
solve the twentieth century problems.
This can only be done by making the
Constitution itself more easy of amend

DUFUR "DRYS" ARE ACTIVE
More Now on Foot to Hold Local

DUFUR, Or., Aug. 24. (Special.)
Petitions have been circulated in this
city to have the liquor license question
submitted to the voters at the Novem
ber election. At the previous election
the citv voted "wet" by a very small
majority, and the "dry" element hopes
to reverse the situation this Fall.
When the last election was held,
there were a number of contractors and
others connected with the building of
the Oregon Trunk Railway who made
this their home and participated in the
election. As all this element left when
the railway was completed, this forms
an added element of uncertainty in the
outcome of the matter.
The superintendent of tho Oregon
Anti-Saloon League has been here and
made two addresses, but otherwise the
campaign is being conducted very
quietly, both sides depending on per

. In response' to the popular demand
for a smaller six-cylinder Packard, a
rakish, five-passenger consort to tne

Packard Motor Car Company. This car.
known as the "3S," has been developed
step by step with the other six-cy,lnder
Packards. but its manufacture has been
ntn the nresent season. be
cause of the pressing market for its
larger prototypes.
The features most likely to attract
immediate attention are the left drive
and control, the positive electric self
starter and electric lighting system and
the new control board. Invented by H.
B. Joy? president of the Packard com
pany. By means of this last named de
vice, starting, ignition, lighting and
carburetor controls are on the steering
column within reach of the drivers
hands.
The six-cylinder motor is of the L
head type, with a bore of four inches
and a comparatively long stroke of five
and a half inches. All valves are In
closed, making a notably quiet engine.
Measured by the American Licensed
Automobile manufacturers' -standard,
the motor is rated at 38 horsepower,
but the brake test shows it will de

the touring car is 134 inches, of the
phaeton 138 and of the runabout 116
