(This Is Part XV of Mr. Locus' account of I Ms trip across the continent and back with J his wife la a little roadster. Auto Kditor's note.) BY W. R. LOGUS. iE camped by the side of the flooded arroyo all that night, with little supper, as there was little to cook and less water. The Ar nolds, on the opposite bank, went to bed supperless; they had no food at all, and their water supply had become ex hausted early that afternoon. It was pitiful to hear the children crying for water. The following morning I urged Ar nold to agree to my going back, and setting to him via Sellgman, but he in sisted that I remain with them until he had one more try at getting out. The river had gone down only a little and there was considerable current, the rear of his car still being submerged. I waited until noon when he made his final try, but failure met his efforts. Agreeing to get them assistance al any cost, we left on the back traii. but hardly entered the mountains again before rain started falling. When but a few miles from Ashforks, It was nec essary to cross a dangerous ford, into which we plunged, stalling the car in the center. I sprang into the stream the water was almost to my waist, but the motor refused to start, after re peated efforts to crank her. There was nothing to attach the block and fall, and the river was rising rapidly. My wife sprang into the stream with me, . and for two hours we worked, shoulders to rear wheels, grasping the spokes with both hands until inch by inch, we literally shoved the car out, both of us numb with cold and soaked to the skin. Once I thought I heard the purr of a motor and ran half a mile to the summit of a hill, but nothing greet ed my eyes save miles of sand and rocks. Thoroughly tired out, I returned to the car and found the wife wrapping cloths around her feet to protect them from the rocks. Another half hour's work and we had extricated the car. Brush Bridges Mud. A mile beyond this ford we struck a mile of heavy slick mud, and in order to get traction cut brush for another hour to lay under the' wheels, after a time reaching the railroad. Up hill and down, crossing bad fords and traveling through heavy mud, at last we reached the summit of a small butte, and were surprised to find both DeLong and Montrose, the motorcy clists. They, too, had been having dif ficulty in getting through, both boys being greatly discouraged, tired and ready to quit ior the night. Spying a cabin near the track a mile distant they made for it, but we kept on, de termined to get aid for tne Arnolds if possible. A mile beyond, near a small station, we had to quit, for directly in our path a large - lake had formed, through which it was impossible to drive. We pitched our small tent by the side of the road in the mud, sleeping but little that night. The following morning conditions had not improved, and my wife agreed to catch the next BOND PLAN FOR HIGHWAY WORK MEANS SAVING OF $600,000 TO COLUMBIA COUNTY IN 20 YEARS. i BY C. A. NUTT, IN RAINIER REVIEW. The following table shows the proposed bond issue for permanent roada In Columbia County. The valuation of the county being $18,000,000.00. The proposed bond issue that could be raised from this amount would be 2 per cent or $350,000.00 in bonds payable in 20 years at 5 per cent interest as follows: Tear. 1. . ..

Further, when the roads are finished by the county with the bond money, the state, we are informed, will take over the main roads, i. e., Columbia River highway and Nehalem roads and hard surface and maintain them. These two roads are approximately 85 miles in length and on which at the present time we are expending, fo r - betterment and maintenance, about J620 pej mile, or $52,700 each year. It is estimated that the maintenance by the hard-surfaced roads will not exceed $200 per mile, or $17,000 each year, tf which Columbia County will raise $10,500. Multnomah County at the present time pays two-fifths of the state taxes. Deducting this from the amount we are now spending leaves u s a profit of $42,200. which is equal to an annual levy of $2.35 on each $1 000 valuation. , it this bond issue costs $1.20 for each $1000 valuation, we will besides having good roads, make a net saving of $1.15 each year on every $1000 valuation in the county, which In 2 0 years will amount to, with interest, more than $600,000. train for Seligman, and send help' to Arnold. She left at 1:30 P. M. That day DeLong and Montrose kept me company, and I told them of how a bunch of drunken Mexican sec tion hands had tried to shoot up our camp the previous 'night. About 6 o'clock we could hear a motor com ing. It was the Arnolds. They had extracted their ,car and were following us. Never have I seen people with such drawn faces, staring eyes and blue lips. They had had no water or food for 54 hours. We kept them from the water bags and gave water to them in small quantities at first. Shortly afterwards Mrs. Arnold became ill, and Arnold was determined to make Seligman for medical assistance. There was no train, so he tried to make it with the motor, went into the lake half a mile and stuck, and they sat in the car all night, suffering frightfully from the cold. Saloonmen Come to Hmrne. As it looked like rain the following Say at noon. I agreed with the motor cyclists that it was best to try and make Seligman, and also rescue the Arnolds. With the assistance -of Mont rose and DeLong. who assisted the car through the bad places, we finally reached them, and there was Mrs. T--o- gus with two cars from Seligman. owned and driven by Mr. Dial and Mr. Dickinson, two saloonmen of that place. These two - men were the only citi zens she could even interest in our trouble. An Indian rider had refused $25 to go to the Arnolds, saying it was too dangerous. But Dial and Dickinson had made the attempt, re maining out all night j to no purpose. Next day they had returned to Selig man, to pick up Mrs.. Logus, and had come on to rescue me. . Whatever may be said to the con trary concerning men in this business I want to say that these two men were true sports. I am glad to count them among my friends. Some day I may be able to repay the debt of gratitude I owe them. They would accept no pay saying that they had only done their duty. With Dial and Dickinson breaking trail, splashing through mud and wa ter, we finally reached Seligman, where medical attendance was procured,- as well as food. From this point to San Bernardino, Cal.. little occurred to break the mo notony. Crossing the Colorado at Needles, we crossed the Mojave Desert, the temperature during the day being about 120 in the shade,' with sand, rocks and desolation everywhere, save here and there a giant cactus. We reached San Bernardino September 10. pistons, warped piston rings or scored cylinders. The motometer is in use by all the great racing drivers, who were quick to appreciate the protection it offers to their cars. Motormeter Is New Device A NOTICEABLE addition to many of the cars this year is the adoption of a small radiator thermometer, which at all times acquaints the driver of the temperature of his radiator. This device is made up in the form of a handsome radiator cap emblem. An instrument of this type is ex tremely logical, for it not only allows a driver to operate his car sufficiently hot to obtain proper vaporization of the gasoline and the maximum mileage. but it also acts as a signal of danger from low radiator water, improper lubrication, broken fan belt, etc., which are always liable to cause great dam age to the motor. Under general operating conditions this device, which is called a motom eter, shows a normal operating tem perature, but should any emergency arise the red indicating column rapidly mounts to the point marked "danger," thus avoiding any possibility of seized JO Cole 6 Cylinder, 7 Passenger, $27SO Q8 The. Standardized Car The Cole is the first motor car ever built entirely from standard ized parts a standardized part is any part which has been built so well that it has become the standard whereby all other similar parts are measured. Therefore the Cole is the first 100 per cent standardized car and marks the most advanced commercial step the motor car industry has ever taken. . See Us at the Show Northwest Atito Go. .
