Automobile Editor's note.)
CHAPTER IV.
It is hlRhly desirable that the road
officials In any locality should have
Information which will enable them
to establish In some measure the
money value of any proposed system
of road improvement. -It is becoming
Increasingly evident, however, that it
is undesirable for a locality to base its
calculations upon generalized data
deduced from nation-wide observa
tions. What is neetied In the Individ
ual Instance I an understanding of
the methods which must be employed
to establish the economic conditions in
tiie locality.
Certain facts which are essential
are easily obtained. The area of the
road district or other highway unit,
the number of niilea of roads of vari
ous classes and their distribution, the
more important crops, the number of
miles of railroad and the number of
railroad stations and similar data may
be accurately established. So also
niav the prevailing cost of teams with
driver for & 10-hour day. The average
load and the average haul are less
easily obtained, but they are essential
In developing facts. -
When all the information has been
carefully studied it will be possible to
derive the ton-mile cost for the vari
ous classes of commodities hauled. If
the areas along the roads devoted to
various crops and the acreage yield
in tons can be compiled. It will be of
great value in determining the annual
service of the road. ,
Traffic Census Needed.
A traffic census should be made and
the total haultnir charges for the com
munity approximately estimated. From
a strictly business standpoint it then
becomes necessary to make a conser
vative estimate of the reduction In
hauling costs that will result from
any Bystem of road improvement. The
important point is that at least a part
of the reduction in the total annual
hauling charges to the community
msut be regarded as measuring the in
terest and maintenance charges which
the community can economically af-foriJ-
toran - Investment " in improved
roads. The amount of money avail
able for Improvement cannot . by this
"method be measured by one calcula
tion: one or two calculations wil, be
needed before any considerable hd
issue or any form o raisins money Is
decided upon.
As an illustration, the example of a
county in which wheat is the prevail
ing crop may be considered. If the
construction of narrow single track
roads with improved surface will re
duce the hauling cost 5 cents a ton
mile anil the average yield of wheat is
SO bsuhrU to the acre, there results,
for an average haul of five miles, an
economic advantage of 22.5 cents per
acre or J36 per quarter section. This
Is 4 per cent on $900. It appears im
mediately that such & community will
be safe In borrowing money to the ex
tent of $000 per square mile of wheat
area to effect such an Improvement in
the roads as would reduce the hauling
charges o cents per ton-mllo on the
wheat crop alone.
Tkree Items Factors.
In determining the economic advan
tages of good roads to any community
there are three Items which must be
Included, but for which no specific
figures can be given. These items are
the wear and te'ar on vehicles and
harness, the Interest charges on the
Investment in extra horses, and the
wear and tear on the horses.
The argument for the reduced cost
of hauling on country roads need not
be carried further. In moving prod
ucts of all kinds from the field to the
consumer it is clear that the reduction
In transportation charges is most im
perative on the oountry road. During
the last 15 years remarkable changes
In highway transportation have been
brought about by the Introduction of
motor-driven vehicles. The motor car
was first regarded as an exclusive
luxury, but It has become, to an In
creasing extent, an economic neces
sity. It is Impossible, at the present
time, to place an upper limit upon the
use of the motor vehicle for any pur
pose. It is the most potent single in
fluence that has reached the road
problem since McAdam. The adapta
bility of the automobile and motor
truck, ts almost unlimited, and the
farmers. especially those of the West
and Middle West, have been quick to
recognize it. In handling milk and
cream the motor truck has become
especially useful and has extended
land areas available for profitable
dairying. '
While no great stress has been laid
upon the total annual waste on ac
count of poor roads, figures have been
presented which are sufficiently in
dicative to those who are Interested in
road matters from a' nation-wide
standpoint. In this connection it is
well to remember that the economic
problem of today ts not so much a
problem of production as it is a prob
lem of distribution. In the process of
distribution It is not too much to say
that the highway Is the first link, but
that it Is operating at present with
the lowest efficiency.
Farsalaa- Depeadrat Roada.
We must now discuss certain ques
tions of farm economics, without,
however. Introducing the social condi
tions o: --untry life. The business of
farmintc :s essentially dependent on
the condition of country roads, for
whatever Is not produced on the farm
must be hauled to the farm, and many
crops of the farm must be hauled away
to the railroad stations and local mar
kets. -
Farmers sooner or later come to
realize the desirability of diversified
farming. Perhaps no cause limits
farming of this description as effect
ively as bad roads. Of course, the
prime requisite for successful diversi
fied farming Is a good --rkot- This
market may be either at by town
or a city, or a distant :-t which
requires railroad transportation. In
any case, however, the speed of trans
portation from farm to the unloading
point Is essential. Diversified farm
ing usually mean a chance from sta
ple crops such as corn and wheat to
mora perishable products such as
fruits and garilen truck: that Is to say,
from crops that may be held at the
farm to crops which must be moved
away from the farm immediately. The
possibility of this change Is largely
dependent upon road conditions.
A farmer 10 miles from a market
for Spring truck crops, such as rhu
barb, peas and spinacii, is at a great
disadvantage if his market road is un
improved, and he may be totally un
able to compete with the farmer the
same distance from market in another
direction on a good road.
About each market or shipping
point there Is a boundary line which
incloses the area that can be culti
vated profitably for delivery at that
point. If this area is considered as
bounded by a circle it is not difficult
to see that its size will depend upon
road conditions. The profit to the
farmer is determined by the differ
ence between the production and
transportation costs and the telling
prices. Production roust cease when
the transportation costs wipe out the
difference.
As one goes farther from market
centers, one passes through successive
zones of production, each of which
contains fewer farm products, because
some products will not bear the addi
tional cost of transportation. With a
good system of improved roads radiat
ing from market centers it must fol
low, if all other things are equal, that
the total area of farming land will in
crease, as well as the successive areas
or zones capable of supporting diver
sified crops. The whole business of
farming is sufficiently dependent spon
weather conditions without the added
uncertainty of road conditions.

MEDFORD. Or.. Dec. 20. (Special.)
The County Court of jacason i.ounu
has levied S mills for road purposes.
This levy will yield J111.S0O. There will
be no special tax levies in the various
road districts. According to County
Judge Tou Velle. $25,000 of this amount
will go toward the Interest on the 500,
000 good road bonds recently authorized
at the special road election for the
construction of the Pacific highway over
the Sisklyous and through Jackson
County from north to south. The Road
Supervisors of the county will receive
$43,450 to expend In their various dis
tricts on road " maintenance and con
struction and the remaiader will be
used by the County Court on the con
struction and maintenance of roada and
bridges.
With the construction of the main
trunk highway through the center of
the county provided for by the J500.000
bond Issue, the road, work in the county
will be largely taken up with the con
struction of good roads into the lulls
and valleys as lateral feeders. The
County Court recently purchased two
split log draxs and when the condition
of the roads are favorable these will be
used to make the roads passable. If
they come up to expectations the county
will buy a quantity of them for use in
the Fall and Spring.

The County Court made the tax levy
for- this .year 14.60. mills for all pur-,

The lew will raise about $2.500 lor
schools. 23.375 for roads. J37.000 for
county purposes and 38.000 for the

THE DALLES, Or., Dec. 20. (Spe
cial ) The Wasco County Court has
levied a three-mill tax for road pur
poses. This levy will raise approxi
mately $50,000. Besides this general
levy three of the road districts have
levied special taxes for the purpose of
Improving the publlo thoroughfares of
their territories, making the total
amount which will be expended on
Wasco County roads next year about
$60,000. ...
County Judge' Gunning says this
money will be spent in accordance with
the state road law. being distributed
over the county generally and used for
the construction and maintenance of
roads.
HARXEY'S ROAD LEVY IS MADE
Extensive Natural Roads Make 2 1-2
Mills All Necessary.
BURNS. Or., Dec. 20. (Special.) The
County Court of Harney County, Ore
gon, recently adjourned, made a levy of
24 mills for road purposes, which will
yield $20,000 for the upkeep and repair
of the-roads throughout the county for
the coming year.
The sum is small considering the
mileage covered In this county by the
roads, but nature was kind to the tax
payers in giving them so many miles
of natural roads, and as no extensive
operations are called for In the way of
roadbuilding in the county at this time
the above levy will 'be sufficient in all
respects. -

Dealer Advises Against Purchase at
Low Price Even of Xew Car, Made
by Manufacturer Now Out of
Business-1 Reasons Cited.
There are bargains and bargains In
every walk of life. Just tell a woman,
for instance, that there is a reduction
sale' or a bargain sale at any store
and she'll get up early, be down town
outside the store an hour before time,
possibly having taken a taxi to get
there, spend the whole day buying
things she doesn't need and be a:
nervous wreck at the end of the day.
All this simply Decanse she has learned
that there's a bargain.
Now- that's the way some people buy
their automobiles, according to Fred
Vogler, president of the Northwest
Auto Company. He did not put It quite
that way, hut. In substance that was
what he said.
There are three or four sides," he
said, "to the purchase of second-hand
automobiles, which I have In mind,
and remember there are, too, three or
four classes of purchasers. I suppose
the most frequent buyer of A second
hand car for .pleasure purposes Is the
man who can well afford a new car
but prefers to have an old one to learn
on. one that will look and run about
the same when he has got through
with it- as It did before. He certainly
figures on getting allowed quite a
substantial sura for it when he goes
to buy a new car, say half to two
thirds of what he gave for 'it. Now
the cars which fetch the most from
dealers when turned in are those cars
of well established makes of which it
is easy to get additional parts and
whose name is a guarantee at least of
sound construction.
Good Cars Are Sold.
"Some few people may have an Idea
that a dealer will sell a man any old
thing in. the way of a second-hand car
just to get rid of It. A moment's
consideration will convince him that
such could not be the case. Every
man to whom we sell a 'second-hand
car we consider as a very live pros
pect for a new car In a year at least.
We should not want to Incur that
man's emnlty by selling him some
thing which would not stand up. As a
matter of fact all the cars we take In
are thoroughly overhauled and quite
a sum spent on new parts, and the
car has to be a solid investment be
fore we let it go out.
"WiUi the tendency today towards
only the soundest of methods in the
automobile business it has natrually
come about that certain manufacturers
have gone out of business simply be
cause one or other of their methods
was -wrong. In nine cases out of ten
it has been due to' the fact that the
car is mechanically imperfect or else'
contains parts which do not appeal to
the average man. When these firms
went into the hands of - the receiver
the new cars on hand were naturally
ordered sold at what they would fetch
for cash.
Special Parts Needed.
"Suppose Smith has a friend Brown
who bought one of those cars last
year,' and that Smith sees he can buy
a car identically the same for just
half the price; his first thought is.
'That's an awful bargain, better than
any second-hand proposition,' and
naturally it must seem so to him at
first sight. But suppose anything
goes wrong with that car. He will
find that the parts have to be made
specially at great cost and also he. will
find that when he goes to dealers and
asks how much he can get on his car
the dealers to a man will offer him
about as much as a Junk dealer would
offer for a suit of clothes. The ma
chine is no use to the dealer; it will
cost him too much to repair, and he
could find no sale for it.
"The man who buys one of these
new cars made by firms out of busi
ness will have nothing but a hard row
to hoe. There wljl be no one to give
him- service, there will be no one to
take his car : when he wants to ex
change it, no factory to get parts from
and be will find the car a white elephant."

SOLID TIRE HAS LIMIT
WARNING SOl'NDED AGAINST OVER
LOADING TRICK.
R. G. Harris Says First Indication Is
Appearance of Bulge la Rubber,
Called "Traction Wave."
Many motor truck owners have the
Idea that there Is no limit to the abil
ity of a solid tire to bear loads and
go pile their cars high with "cargo"
without any regard for their tires.
Solid tires, however, are as sensitive
to overloading as plienmatics, and R.
G. Harris, head of the motor tire de
partment of the Firestone Tire & Rub
ber Company, sounds a warning of
that tire abuse when he says:
"The Immediate result of overload
ing a solid tire is the appearance of a
bulge, called a 'traction wave.' in the
rubber Just in front of the point of
contact between tire and street. This
wave with the enormous weight back
of it, works through to the very base
of the tire. '
"o tires are made of pure rubber.
The gum must be compounded with
chemicals to give the desired wear-resisting,
qualities. The traction wave
lessens the cohesive power of the com
pound and if not guarded against
eventually will tear the tire away from
the steel rim. Not only does the wave
ruin the tire, but it also affects the
truck as though It were going up hill,
Involving a constant loss of power.
"Several methods of preventing the
separation of the tire from the channel
have been devised. One is that of a
hard rubber base vulcanized into the
channel. The channel has a saw-tooth
base, and the hard rubber filling these
saw teeth, -and vulcanized into them,
becomes an Integral part of the channel
base. To this hard rubber in turn is
vulcanized the tread.
"A second method involves the use
of a metal sub-base to which Is dove
tailed and vulcanized a hard rubber
base.- To this hard base the tread Is
united. No channel is used in this type,
but side abrasion Is prevented by an
Intermediate band, projecting out on
each side.
"The side wire tire Is the third pre
ventive of tread separation. Two end
less retaining wires with flat sides are
sprung over the edge of the rim and
engage the ends of the cross wires,
which are flat on the upper side.
"Whether or not tread separation is
prevented, however, overloading re
mains Injurious to the tire. The com
pound Is crushed and sooner or later is
broken down entirely."
"Milk" Joke Gets "Goaf
of Auto Dealer.
Bob Lefevre Finds That Vnon Op
portunity, Bert Roberts Can More
Than Even Score.
BOB LEFEVRE, formerly Wlnton
man at Spokane, was in town last
week to see Bert Roberts, who has
the Wlnton factory branch under his
wing here. The former Is always pull
ing some good ones, but he got singed
by the auiet Roberts right on top of
a warning he himself had issued about
getting stung.
Roberts cleverly led the conversa
tion round (It was quite a work of
art the way he did it, by mentioning
that R. D. Inman had taken his new
Wlnton into Arizona with him on a
trip and would inspect some mines),
to the mining industry; and then he
said: "By the way. It's extraordinary
how that murderer, Lopez, in Utah,
Is holding out down in the mine isn't
it?. -He's been in the mine a fortnight
now."
"What on earth Is he living pnr'
queried Bob, getting Interested.
"Oh, he had ammunition cached
away, and he's been living all the time
on milk," said Roberts, Waiting for
the bite.
"MilkT Why, how the deuce did he
get milk here' for that length of
timer1 said Lefevre. And then Bert's
face showed just the trace of a smile
for half a second.
"Tiiey do say that he got the
Sheriffs goat!" and with that Bob had
to admit the laugh was on him.
Both these men have Just had let
ters from Roy C. Bothwell, of the
well-known firm of Bothwell & Mc
Conaughy. of Salt Lake, who was out
here recently on a trip. He drove his
old Wlnton all the way back last
month and made such a good showing
In spite of bad weather and roads that
Bothwell decided he did not in the
least want to change makes. All he
wanted was a new model, which he
bought when he got back.
Riding Costume Suggested.
According to Miss Nora Hough, one
of the most enthusiastic motorcyclists
of England, the folluwin? Is the most
suitable costume for the woman rider;
A three-quarter length Russian blouse
with belt stitched on at the waist,
Parisian collar and three fairly large
pockets, a walking-length skirt and
close fitting cap. This outfit should
be of strong tweed of mixed colors.
Miss Hough does not approve of the
extremely short skirt. She says the
walking-length skirt is Just as "con
venient while riding and does not at
tract undue attention when one desires
to leave the mount and walk through
the streets..

. -Lincoln Highway Route.
DETROIT. Mich., Dec. 20. (Special.)
Two hundred children who attend the
Sunday school of the Fort-street set
tlement at Seventeenth and Fort streets
are traveling weekly over the Lincoln
Highway, according to a new plan. The
trip is under the direction of Edward
McLean, superintendent of the Sunday
school, and has aroused widespread in
terest. When the Lincoln Highway route
was announced some time ago Mr. Mc
Lean took a large wall map of the
country and traced in red the road
from New York- to San Francisco. This
map was placed on the wall of the set
tlement assembly-room. He then -devised
a plan to interest the children in
the highway and at the same time pro
mote better attendance and greater at
tention to the Sunday school lessons.
There are 18 classes or teams in the
school, each one with a teacher, known
as the chauffeur. Various makes of
automobiles have been apportioned to
each class and they go forward from
town to town through New Jersey all
the way to San Francisco because of
attendance, ability to read and remem
ber the weekly text, etc. Five point3
are allowed for attendance, one point
for reading the text, etc. Every point
counts a mile and some of the classes
are in Ohio, while others have not been
able to get beyond Philadelphia. It will
probably take several montiis before
all have safely reached San Francisco
and can start -back. In the meantime
the attendance in the Sunday school
has grown and more attention is paid
to the exercises. In fact considerable
diplomacy must be exercised by the
teachers to prevent undue rivalry.
