Frank C. Riggs Suggests Plan
for Rehabilitating Rose
Festival Feature.
MORE DIVISIONS PROPOSED

BY FRANK C. RIGGS.
Of the Rose Festival Committee.
To some the automobile parade In
the recent Rose Festival Is not a thing
to be resurrected. Others, given to
eareful thought on the matter, say
this Is the very time to set about a
Sreorganizatlon of the parade, to study
the ways and means by which It may
be a glory rather than the mere pass
ing of automobiles along the streets,
to see wherein It 'fell down," and
thereby to avoid the pitfalls for
another year."
Seeing that the Rose Festival will
continue, and rightly so. In the opinion
rf the majority of people, we must see
to It that there Is an automobile
parade which is worthy of the name
and which, instead of being just one
of the numerous spectacles during the
week, shall stand out pre-eminently as
the first, or at least equal, to the best
parade -of them all.
Mrhat is necessary, then, for he suc
cess of such an undertaking?
First, one must make preparations
ufficiently ahead of time. This year
barely a fortnight was given to the
parade, and there was such a. Tack of
Interest that the scarcity of cars could
hardly fail to be noticed, even by an
utter stranger.
Strong Committee .Needed.
To obviate this, a strong commit
tee is necessary, which would be com
posed of a certain number of private
owners, a certain number of automo
bile dealers, a certain number of mem
bers of the Automobile Club and other
men of Influential standing. That
should be the first point. Each of
these individuals would be a strong
worker in his own class. Each would
stir up rivalry among his friends, and
It is rivalry that brings out the cars
rivalry of a friendly nature.
Again, there Is an urgent need of
more prizes and also of better prizes.
This la a great essential. We need
more prizes, so that we can have more
classes, more divisions of cars, and I
think cash prizes for this reason. Peo
ple spend a lot of money in decorat
ing their cars; at least they do when
they have made up their minds that
there is a. good prize for which to
compete and they like, very often, to
purchase for themselves some article
of utility or ornamentation by which
they can remember their success rather
than a cup.
In the last festival the cars were
divided into four classes, clubs, organ
izations and societies forming one di
vision, touring cars another, electrics
and runabouts & third and trucks the
fourth. I do not think it a sufficiently
diversified classification. Business
houses, for Instance, could be kept
apart, given a class to themselves,
benefit clubs another, and societies a
third.
Segregate Visitors la Idea.
Then again there might be a prize
for the best car shown by, say, a mem
ber of the Rotary Club or the Ad Club,
one for the best car by a member of
the Oddfellows or the Masons. In this
way there would be a keen interest
taken by all the members of all the
clubs, for each, while eligible for some
of the big prizes, would run a sporting
chance of carrying off the award in
Its own class.
To my mind, there should be, too,
separate prizes for visitors' displays.
"We were -ery glad to see our visitors
gaining- prizes, and rightly so, but one
cannot get away from the fact that a
desire to do the right thing by our
quests has led the awards in some
cases to cars which were hardly In the
running, or which would not have been
considered so had they been entered
by Portland people. Let them, of
course, be eligible for the grand prizes,
but let them be considered on their
merits as they would have a class of
their own In which to make good.
We could also have prizes for the
best car from points in the state, a
prize, for instance, for the best car
from Pendleton, from Medford. from
Salem and other points, a prize for the
Desi car irom British Columbia, fiaii-
fornia and other outside states. In
this way again competition is stimu-
jatea.
Perhaps, too. it would be better tn
divide the touring cars up into two
classes, if this could be done, for as the
case now stands, there are some people

that it is little use their enterina

one spring should be jacked up at a

the leaves together remove It. Then
the leaves can be pried apart with a
screwdriver or a small tool made espe
cially for this purpose. They can be
oiled, one by one, with an ordinary oil
can. but a better plan is to work
graphite or grease between the leaves
with a knife blade. The graphite or
grease should be fairly stiff, so that
the springs will be lubricated for a
longer time. Ordinarily twice a year
is sufficient, if the proper grade of
graphite or grease is used."

Recent Experiments Show Operation

fifth Cost of Gasoline.
Natural gas fuel is being experi
mented with in "West Virginia, where
the largest gas wells in America are
located. . -
"These experiments are of vital im
portance to the automobile trade," said
G. E. Johnson, of the Chanslor-Lyon
Company, here. "Needless to say, the
price of gasoline has become almost
prohibitive, and for several years
chemists have been experimenting
witn carburetors and kerosene for use
In Internal combustion motors. So
far the result Is problematical.
"Gas fuel for producing motor pow
er has been used for a great many
years, and successfully, on marine and
stationary engines. The commercial
history of the gas engine dates from
1876, when Dr. N. A. Otto patented the
well-known engine now in extensive
use, but long before that year invent
ors had been at work, attempting to
utilize gas for producing motive power.
"Gasoline is commonly spoken of as
gas.' which it decidedly is not, for
there exists a great difference be
tween gas, which Is a fluid having
neither volume nor shape, and gasoline,-
which is vaporous liquid. Gaso
line is the product of petroleum, nat
ural gas a fluid always with petroleum
ana supposed to be caused by the for
mation of coal, or the decomposition of
animal remains. The term 'gas' was
suggested to J. B. Van Helmont by the
Greek word 'chaos, because of the
chaotic state In which the gas wai
first discovered.
"Experimenting with natural gas In
connection with automobiles, the gas
is compressed in seamless tanks, hold
ing from 500 to 2000 cubic feet.
"A well-known car using natural
gas. on the Indianapolis Speedway,
made a mileage of 100 on 25 cents'
worth of fuel. The same car consumed
20 cents worth of gasoline in running
jo miles on the same track. A one
ton truck was driven 75 miles on the
contents of two 500-foot tanks with
out exhausting them. A comparison
recently made by one of the largest
auiomoDiie manutacturers, between
gasoline at 13 Vi cents a gallon and
natural gas at 30 cents for each 1000

made his appearance in Detroit for the
annual meeting and cruise of the so
ciety, he went to boom the Panama
Pacific Exposition of 1915 and the State
of Oregon as an apple-growing coun
try. Mr. Steenstrup took to the engi
neers a trunk full of apples from the
territory near Medford, in which he
has located a fruit farm. At the
meeting of the S. A. E. en route on
the City of Detroit III, Mr. Steen
strup introduced before the en
gineers a prospectus outlining the fu
ture of the Pacific Coast as he sees
it and asking the organization to
meet for 1915 in San Francisco. His
remarks were well taken and it is
very probable that the Society of
Automobile Engineers and the Institu
tion of Automobile Engineers of Eng
land again will combine In 1915 at
an annual meeting and that this meet
ing will be held on the Pacific Coast.
The following Is the statement of Mr.
Steenstrup, ably read, before the engi
neeers and heartily applauded:
"In 1915 California will put on the
greatest industrial exposition ever
held. To many of you the fair itself
will mean little, but no other country
ever offered such Inducements. No
fair was ever before made an excuse
for one grand National scenic Joy ride.
"The opening of the Panama Canal
will divert the tide of immla-ratlon
from the East to West, because the
thrifty Germans or Scandinavians can
then land on a farm in Oregon for less
than it would coast to land them in
Minnesota.
"Most of you fall to realize the won
derful resources and vast unsettled do
main of the Pacific Coast States, but
Just as surely as the supply of motor
cars will ultimately meet the demands.
Just as surely that great country will
ultimately provide the greatest market
for pleasure cars. It is a country

with those of Switzerland would be ft)
compare a Packard with a Brush. Only
people do not know it, and when they
learn what we have out West, Switzer
land will be forgotten about as
quickly as the Brush will be forgotten.
In fact, I venture to predict that
when our people have learned to Bee
America first, steamers like the
Lusitania will be put into service be
tween New York and San Francisco

in addition, the seat of learning and
the science of real living will gradually
draw the center of population to beyond
the Rocky Mountains. Then the land
of the sundown sea will come into
Us Own and the biggest market in the
world for pleasure cars will be found
there.
"It would, therefore, seem fitting that
this body of engineers should investi
gate this tremendous region. Only by
close study of their peculiar condi
tions existing on the Coast can the
tremendous possibilities there be fully
realized. The lamentable spectacle of
our National Government trying to
judge the problems of the Pacific Coast
by discussing it 3000 miles away is the
point in proof.
"The fair will bring you all there,
anyway, in 1915. As the only member
of the society from the Pacific Coast,
I, therefore, move that we, as members,
put ourselves on record as being in
favor of holding our Summer meeting
on the Pacific Coast In 1915, provided
the council should find it advisable to
so arrange."

- The wireless apparatus located at
the Detroit branch of the Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Company recently sup
plied news to the steamer City of De
troit, on which the semi-annual meet
ing of the Society of Automobile En
gineers was held. This wireless has
been in use over a year. It was in
stalled in order to gain quick commu
nication with the factory at Akron,
and in order that the service would
never be impaired. During the recent
flood, when all other lines of commu

tory was in close touch with Detroit,
and their branch service to the large

never diminished.
During the terrific wind storms on
the lakes, the Marconi tower, used by
many boats out of the Detroit port,
was offered to the D. & C. Comoanv.

The use of the wireless is a comoara-

practicability has been proved in su
many crises and specific instances that
it seems safe to predict that this form
of communication will be adopted by
more and more of the larsre manufac

Manager for San Francisco Loiter
Branch Tells or Boulevard
Like Stretch Between Bay
City and Sacramento.
.Among the visitors to Portland dur
ing the past week was A. R. Dawson,
manager of the San Francisco branch
of the Lozier factory, who also holds
the Important position of really look
ing after the service end of the whole
Coast.
. Such a position may need a little
explanation. With the change in the
personnel of the Lozier head. Paul
Smith, who was here recently, became
general sales manager and Lou Rose
has charge of the . Western territory
west of Denver. These two men im
mediately began to get busy and one
of the great changes, that was Inau
gurated by them was that of having
local conditions managed locally. It is
best explained by Mr. Dawson himself:
"Formerly when a man broke a rear
axle, for instance, and thought it was
up to the company to pay for it. while
the company thought It was up to him,
the matter had to go to New York to
be threshed out. Now there is as much
difference between conditions here and
in New York as there is between con
ditions In New York and in Paris, for
example. Consequently it was de
cided to have Coast matters settled on
the Coast. In this way there Is no
delay such as was frequently the case
and my mission on this trip is to be
come acquainted with Portland condi
tions, Seattle conditions and British
Columbia conditions, so that if any
thing comes up I shall be more com
petent to handle it."
Arrangement Works Harmoniously.
Mr. Dawson, though, has entire
charge of his own branch In San Fran
cisco as well, but he thinks so highly
of the new organization that they work
In harmony all the time, their combined
aim being to make the word Lozier a
synonym for all that is best in the mo
tor world. In the San Franciscan's
opinion the new heads have already
This being his first visit since 1906.1
Mr. Dawson was astonished at the
great growth the city has undergone
in every line of business, the building
activity especlaly striking him as
little short of phenomenal. He pre
dicts a wonderful future for the North
west, but not until the roads have be
come known for their smoothness
rather than their bumps and holes.
"Take Sacramento for example of
what good roads will do. A year or
two ago the old heads of the city did
not realize the value of travel and the
city was nothing. What happens to
day? There is a boulevard for 132 miles
to Sacramento and you can make the
trip from San Francisco in something
less than five hours and comfortably at
that.
Looks Like Boulevard.
"Now that road looks like a 10-mile
boulevard to see it on a Saturday af
ternoon or on Sunday and if you wish
to stop over night in one of the Sacra
mento hotels it Is necessary to make
reservations ahead. The road cost a
lot to build, but it has paid tenfold
already and Instead of being considered
a back number and losing out. Sacra
mento is now a go-ahead, live place and
the money that the automobile men
have brought in has had a great deal
to do with it, while the publicity that
has. accrued from those who make the
trip is another great factor.
"With your climate here so refresh
ing at a time when down there we are
baking in the sun. It seems to me a
short-sighted policy that you have not
a boulevard-like road up to Portland
and down to the beach. The hotel
men themselves could build It and reap
a profit, for motorists would make the
Portland hotels their headquarters for
trips around. With Mount Hood and
other attractions so close by and the
wonderful Columbia scenery, Portland
has so many natural advantages over
other cities that they should be taken
at their face value and not lost for
lack of a road."
Dealers Not All In Row.
One thing that struck Mr. Dawson
was that the dealers here are not all
In one row, as they are in so many
towns. This he thinks a good thing,
or at any rate he cannot see why they
should be all in one street, any more
than all the grocery stores or hardware
emporiums.
He is strongly in favor of a live
dealers' association in every city and
has absolutely no use for the man who
will backbite the other dealer. "The
time has come for all dealers to swing
together and to be friends in the busi
ness," he said emphatically. . "If they
cannot swing a deal, let them do their
best for the other man rather than
persuade the fellow not to buy a car at
all. for what helps the industry will
help him eventually."
Mr. Dawson thinks highly of the local
proposition to handle the credit situ a"
tion. whereby efforts will be made to
put an end here to the man who runt
up a bill at one garage and then leaves
that to run up another bill at another
garage.

After four years ceaseless experi

makers of pleasure electrics have
come to realize that the Motz Cushion
Tire is best. All leading electric car
makers have adopted the Motz, even
though it costs them more than other
tires. They wan to give their cus

don't want tires that allow their cars
to be jolted and pounded to pieces.
Thus the great majority of electric
owners now use Motz Cushion Tires.
Thus the demand for these tire3 has
