MOUNT HOOD TRIP
IS RAGE OF RIVALS
I FIRST AUTOMOBILE PARTY REACHES SUMMIT OF MOUNT HOOD
Osmon Royal, Jr., and Party
Are First to Reach Summit,
Beating Roy Wilson.
SNOW DEEPER THAN USUAL
Top of Peak Is Attained June 4 After
Cold Trip, Without Rope; Sew
Hotel at Government Camp Is
Dedicated by Climbers.
First to Rhododendron Tavern on
reDruary 14 and then again first to the
summit of Mount Hood on June 4 is
the proud record this year of Osmon
Royal, Jr., and his party, with a tale of
kindly rivalry in It that has lasted for
years. What makes the trips ull the
more astonishing is that both were
taken immediately after the return of
the party from Mazama outings.
On this occasion the party, which
consisted of Osmon Royal, Jess Gilkey,
Mrs C. K. Dilllngrer, Miss Anne Dillin
ger and Miss Mabel Phillip, had Just
returned last Mondav from the Mazama
outing to Josephine County caves at
o'clock In the morning. At 3 o"clock
that same afternoon they had decided
to make the attempt and were off in
their Lozler, which Is a Vanderbilt
Trophy model.
Rhododendron was reached in two
hours 15 minutes and there the party
stayed in Mr. Iloyal's cedar shack for
the night. Leaving the next morning
at S o'clock they made Government
C'amp In two and one-half hours, but
not before they had thought more than
once that they would get stuck. Miss
Oillinger and Mr. lillkey had started,
in fact, t walk to the camp to get
help, but all went well and they met
the party on- the timber edge, in its
deepest places the snow has been cut
to a depth of seven feet, while only a
week before it was some thre or four
feet deeper.
N Hotel I- 1 availed.
The rest of the day was passed at
the camp, and the party slept overnight
in the new hotel which Klijah Cole
man has erected there. The party was
the first to have this honor and came
back filled with delight for the new
place, which Is decorated and paneled
completely on the Inside with white
cedar. When it is remembered how
rare this wood is, the attractiveness of
the scheme can be more easily under
stood
By a singular coincidence the party
was one of the last, if not the last, to
dine overnight in the old hotel.
Getting up at 4 o'clock the follow
ing morning, the ascent to the summit
was begun. It was reached at 3:45 in
the afternoon, a journey which conse
quently took ll'.j hours, considerably
longer than usual.
During the ascent the wind was so
strong that on two occasions the party
had to skelter behind rocks waiting
for the wind to change and to get
warmth Into their bodies. At many
times it was impossible to go forward.
Snow la 45 Keet Deep.
The timber line, ordinarily covered
with from 10 to 15 feet of snow, this
year Is clothed in 45 feet, the heaviest
now that has been known iti the moun
tains for 10 years. What is more, the
foothills, at this time usually bare, are
covered with from six inches to one
foot of snow, which will all come off
in the next 10 days, and which would
appear to swell the river to a still
greater height. There were four more
miles of snow walking than ordinarily,
and to add to the difficulties encoun
tered the snow above Crater Kock was
very soft indeed, with the result that
numerous detours were necessary to
avoid crevasses. These, or many of
them, were Jumped on the way down.
At the summit the Mazama register
box was dug out, a reat that took two
hours, on account of the fact that the
party only had alpenstocks and that it
is weighted down with rocks, which
were frozen solid. To add to the time
taken, they dug it out on the wrong
side for the opening at first and had
to begin all over again. Then the names
were duly inscribed in the register,
which will show tnat this year the
summit had been made by an automo
bile party 10 days ahead of any previ
ous year, though the time taken on
the ascent was five hours longer than
the average.
luiitl t ap Inn Covered.
This was due to a certain extent
to the fact that the rope, 2800 feet of
it, which Is fastened from the summit
as a rule about the beginning of July,
had not yet been placed in position,
its absence making the trip all the
more difficult. Cloud Cap Inn, on the
north side, was entirely covered with
snow, save for five feet of flagpole.
Mr. Coleman was full of praise for
Miss Uillinger. dubbing her easily the
best woman mountaineer that he had
seen on the slopes and more than the
equal of most men.
Naturally Mr. Koyal was in the best
of spirits on his return, for this year
he had beaten his friendly rival. Roy
Wilson, by about eight hours. Last
year he himself was beaten eight min
utes, and Mr. Wilson generally has
held the record of being first to Gov
ernment Camp with his Buick, though
Mr. Royal has held the record of be
ing first to Rhododendron Tavern.
IXMIIO.V RUXiES i Al io DOGS
Pomeranian Hear lo Heart of Parisian-,
but American.- Like Bulls.
"Not all kinds of dogs are suitable
for the front seat of a stylish touring
car. and owners should use discretion
a la mode in the selection of automo
bile dors." says C. Jennings Fenway,
who reeantly completed a 2000-mile
trip In Hi. rope with a Simplex car.
"In Paris, the most popular uVg to
be seen on automobiles is the Pomer
anian. The white Poms, as thev are
commonly called, seem to be the most
popular because they present a strik
ing ' ontrast to the somber shades of
the coach work of a car. They are
rather scarce and for that reason mo
torists are often criticised for selecting
a dog of a color which does not match
well with the color of the car.
"In America. I notice that the bull
dog and Scotch terrier are quite popu
lar automobile dogs. These dogs are
aeldoni seen on cars abroad. Motorists
In Europe have special dogs for their
cars and these are used only on drives
along the boulevard. The dogs aside
from being ornaments guard the ve
hicles and robes when the passengers
are absent."

PROFIT IS SMALL
Overland Manager Down on
Paying Commissions.
HABIT NOT OBSOLETE HERE
K. B. Scarlett Says Kvery Sale His
Branch Makes Must Be Clean,
Without String Attached, or
Profit Is Gone.
When it comes to conducting an au
tomobile house on a legitimate business
basis, R. B. Scarlett, manager of the
local Leavlt establishment, is right at
the top. Scarlett is one of those bright,
resourceful men who insist that the
automobile business is stable enough
to be run in a legitimate way, and he
steadfastly refuses to countenance any
method that will not stand the acid
test of legitimacy.
One thing that the Overland sales
director is sharp in criticising is the
manner in which some automobile men
pass out commissions to those who in
fluence sales for them. Scarlett char
acterizes the commission seeker as a
leach who is willing to give any kind
of an indorsement to a car so long as
he is sure to get his bit.
"This commlssloii business is by no
means obsolete here." Scarlett declared
wrathfully. "I have them every day.
They are perfectly willing to sacrifice
their friends for a few dollars. They
tell you that their friend will buy the
car they recommend.
VI can't tolerate this class of hu
manity. There is nothing honest about
their work. The sales you make

Buddy Rose.
The first word that loving
parents ever taught him was
"Lazier." so It is little wonder
that his career already is mapped
out for him. His father is known
to every dealer in the city, see
ing that he Is L. H. Rose, the
Coast representative of the Lo
zler Company, also known as the
Beau Brummel of the row. Young
Buddy Rose has an appropriate
n ime, for he was born in the
Rose City just 15 months ago
and is exceptionally bright. As
his photograph shows he is also
a fine specimen of Lozier lines,
strength and agility being
marked features. Marvelous to
relate he possesses another Lo

young, that of silence. Buddy's
favorite joke is to get father
to say "Buddy sat on a tack."

and it is best to leave them alone.
"Our business, I believe, has reached
the point where we do not have to go
to extremes to make sales Overland
cars are good cars; they are built to
make good in competition. TTlere is
only a small profit to be made on each
retail sale of an Overland. A certain
portion of that profit we put back in
to service. Kvery. sale we make must
be a clean one, with no string attached
to it. and all the profit must come to
us. If not, then we couldn't give the
service that Overland owners are so
pleased with. If we had to give com
missions to 'friends' we would soon

"JACK RABBIT" GOOD CLIMBER
J. K. Xickerson Writes of Difficulty
of Autoing Through Desert.
Taking a "Jack Rabbit" Apperson on
his. trip through Eastern Oregon anT
Idaho. J. K. Nlckerson has Just com
pleted a rather remarkable trip
through deep sand and over hard hills.
"We made the run across the desert
through sand on 10 to 15 per cent
grades." writes Nickerson, who is trav
eling representative of the Apperson
Motor Car Company, of Portland.
"Our running time was less than three
hours. You could put your hand on
the radiator, but the sun was so hot
that It was impossible to touch a
fender without being scorched."
Mr. Nickerson says prospects look
bright in Eastern Oregon and that all
the Apperson dealers anticipate big
business. Before returning to Port
land. Nickerson will appoint several
agents in Idaho.
In Race, Train and Auto
Come Out Even .
Roadster, Manufactured by Rose
bnrg Men, Miken Trip Over Road
as Fast aa Engine Does Over Steel
Ralls.
ROSEBURG. Or., June 7. (Special.)
An interesting little stunt of au
to driving was pulled off here at 8
o'clock Sunday morning. A woman who
was going away on ,the Portland local
at that hour was taEen to the depot
by H. R. Fancher. in his powerful
roadster, manufactured by himself and
Ed Thornton. A friend of the depart
ing visitor accompanied them.
As the train was about to start Mr
Fancher remarked: "We'll say good
by to you here and again at Winches
ter." The train conductor, who was
standing by, replied: "You'll have to
go on this train if you do."
Mr. Fancher laconically said to his
companion: "Come on." Somewhat
handicapped in getting out of town,
they reached the Edenbower crossing
Just as the rear coach of the train
swept by. Although hampered bv the
sharp turn in the road beyond Eden
bower at the top of the hill, they
crossed the track 100 yards ahead of
the train. The next crossing was
passed easily 200 yards ahead of the
train. Then a stretch of rough road
held them until they reached the small
bridge a mile this side of Winchester,
where the train gained a slight lead.
From there to the station it was a neck
and neck race, with the train crew
and passengers waving hats and cheer
ing 1o the limit. They came to a stop
at the station at the same moment, and
the conductor offered congratulations
to Mr. Fancher. who calmly stepped
from his machine wearing that same
modest smile of his everyday life, Just
as though passing a train on the way
to the next station was nothing out
of the ordinary.
City Vses Motorcycles.
Many cities in the United States find
motorcycles almost invaluable in their
police departments, and the number of
cities using the two-wheeler in this
service is constantly increasing. But
some municipalities have gone further,
and demonstrated the utility of the
motorcycle In other lines of public serv
ice than police work. One Ohio, city has
a number of motorcycles which are
used in case of accidents. The men who
operate these maohines are kept in
constant readiness to respond to any
emergency calls requiring quick action.
One place where these "minute men"
have proven especially efficient is in
saving persons from drowning. The in
stant a call comes In, these men Bpeed
to the scene of the accident, and in a
number of instances have been able to
save persons who have fallen in the
river, w ithout the aid of the motor
cycle these rescues would be Impossible.

way and disband.
After next Wednesday's spectacle of
hundreds of brilliantly decorated auto
mobiles has passed In review before the
throngs of festival spectators, it is ex
pected that the public will vote it the
finest pageant of its kind ever staged
in the Northwest. Already hundreds of
motor vehicles have been promised; it
is certain that highly original floral
schemes will figure in the decorat'ng.
At the outset it looked rather dubi
ous. Lack of interest in this, one of the
important day features of the festival,
was manifest. But with the persistent
efforts of C. J. Cook, the general chair,
man of the parade committee, and his
dozen lieutenants, the aspect was en
tirely changed. Now It looks, according
to Mr. Cook, as if there will be fully
twice as many cars in this year as
compared with 1912.
With the cups on exhibition in a
prominent window of one of the big
department stores, a hustling commit
tee of 13, and the fact that there Is no
possible chance of people thinking that
favoritism can be shown In the selec
tion of the prize winners, results have
come in thick and fast. In the clubs
and organizations' division alone it is
expected that there will be upwards of
200 cars entered.
Music to Be I'lentlful.
The rule that no official of the Port
land Automobile Club. under whose
auspices the parade is being formed:
the Rose Festival Association, members
of the parade committee, or their rel
atives is eligible to a prize, has elim
inated all opportunity for disgruntled
ones to declare that friendship figures
in deciding the winners. This rule is
having a good effect.
One of the features of the parade
will be the music. Five large bands
will play all through the parade, while
a boys' chorus of 50 voices will be
heard.
In order to avoid confusion and to
be certain that prizes are awarded
under the most favorable condition, the
committee decided to employ three sets
of Judges instead of one. There will be
three prominent men or women in each
set. One will pick the winners in the
electric cars and roadsters divisions,
another will Judge the touring-car class
and the third will have charge of the
clubs and organizations division.
Cars will be assigned places in their
respective divisions as they report at
the starting point. This does away with
unnecessary delays and facilitates the
work of starting, which generally is a
complicated matter and results in much
confusion.
Out-ol-Towi UntrieM Many.
There will be a number of out-of-town
entries in the clubs and organi
zations division, including a float rep
resenting one of the clubs from Vic
toria, B. C.
Officials of the Portland Automobile
Club have announced that out-of-town
members of automobile clubs will re
ceive cards to the local club on the
presentation of their membership card,
and arrangements have been made to
convey the visitors to the club house
on the Sandy River at a very moder
ate cost.
The formation for the parade follows:
Electrics Form on Harrison street,
east of West Park, facing east.
Runabouts and roadsters Form on
Montgomery street, east of West Park,
facing west. Also on Park street, be
tween Harrison and Mill streets, facing
Montgomery street. Also on Mill street,
east of West Park, facing west.
Touring cars Form on Market street,
east of West Park, facing west. Also
on Park street, between Mill and Mar
ket streets. Also on Clay street, east
of West Park, facing west.
Clubs and Organizations Form on

WASHINGTON. June 7. Starting on
the second lap of a 50,000-mile auto
mobile tour of road inspection. A. L.
Westguard, vice-president of the Na
tional Highway Association, left here
Thursday for Gettysburg and Pitts
burg. Accompanied by Mrs. West
guard, he arrived from New York in
Washington Wednesday and before re
turning to that city proposes to Inspect
the through highways of the country,
both north and south, as far as the
Pacific Coast.
The tour is being taken for the gath
ering of first-hand information for the
highway organization. The northern
route will be followed on the westward
trip, with side excursions to the Ca
nadian border. Returning, Mr. West
guard will follow the southern course,
inspecting the roads of the Southern
tier of states.
Addition to Row Is Made.
Automobile row received another ad

Joins the accessory field, being the
Dahl Punctureless Tire Company. The
Dahl preparation is a punctureless
composition, made from vegetable oils
and other materials. Its resilient and
shock-absorbing qualities are said to
be of a high character. It is claimed
that this tire filler produces the same
easy riding qualities as though the cas
ings were filled with air. The filler
does away with inner tubes.
AMERICAN GARS FOUGHT
BRITISH OPPOSITION TO HCP
MOBILtJES DESCRIBED.
J. Li. Poole, After Campaign or Two
Vears In Europe, Will Return
to Detroit Shortly.
J. L. Poole. European export mana
ger for Hupmobiles, with headquarters
at Paris, will return to Detroit some
time in June. Mr. Poole, who is known
throughout Europe as the original
"American Invader," has been abroad
in the Interests of the Hupp Motor Car
Company for the past two years, dur
ing which time he has firmly estab
lished reputable distributors for Hup
mobiles in every quarter of Europe.
"The American Invasion." said Mr.
Poole In a letter to the Hupp Company
recently. "Is now on in Europe in good
shape and the dogs of war are turned
loose on all American automobiles and
especially against the Hupmobile.
"In England a well-known manufac
turer has published a rank libel, which
is entitled the 'Bugmobtle.' Our agents
In London have gone after this com
pany with a redhot challenge. So far
they have not had the sand to accept
it.
"The manufacturers In Great Britain
have been rather bright In one more
mode recently, they think. All com
bined, they brought such strong influ
ence to bear upon the government that
now a'l Hupmobiles must have a brass
plate put on at the custom-house, read
ing as follows: 'Made in America.'
"This only applies to the Hupmo
bile. The reasons given for this are
that the first word. 'Hupp' in French
means 'Loco,' and two words together
to them mean 'Locomobile.' Secondly,
and most important, it looks too much
like a French automobile. Therefore,
the good French buyer must not be
deceived by an American imitation.
"Mr. Archer, our L.. ndon dealer, is,
of course, using all this to a finish,
and in consequence they are a sick
bunch of makers. Thr Hupmobile Is
popular in England, and we have some
owners who are well nown in public
life.
"In Germany they have gene still
further, for the makers have combined
and have compelled the German Trade
Press to refuse all advertisements from
the United States in automobiles or
parts.
"No less than two actions could be
brought by the Hupp Motor Car Com
pany against leading firms for the
worst kind ot libel you could find the
world over.
"I am having the time of my life.
Nothing pleases me better than to hear
tho European yelp, for every bark
means a new Hupmobile sold to some
one who has the good sense to know
that where there is so much smoke
there must be fire.
"There will be shown, I am told, at
least one, if not two imitations of
Hupmobiles at the next Paris show in
October, one from France and one from
Germany." ,
' Cyclists Join Herring Run.
About 160 motorcyclists from all
parts of Rhode Island took part in the
recent annual "herring run" of the
Providence Motorcycle Club, to Taun
ton, Mass. Each Spring millions of
herring go up the Tualatin River dur

current rushes over the dam prevent

SIX REASONS WHY
THE JACKRABBIT
1. Apperson Brotherts Automobile Company has been established In
business as manufacturers of automobiles exclusively since 1893.
The new no-season policy of Apperson Brothers makes It possible
to buy a car that will be up-to-date for years to come.
3. Apperson cars have been mechanically perfect since 103 Ten
years were spent in perfecting and the last year in refining.
I. Every Apperson car is built as well as Apperson Brothers with
twenty years of experience, know how to construct it at the time it is
being manufactured.
6 Apperson construction is the most widely copied of anv In the
world.
Apperson cars, up to three years ago. have won more prizes for
efficiency, speed and endurance than any others. We discontinued all
