AUTO TOURISTS SUFFER
ON TRAILS OF COLORADO
Machines Stall in Middle of Streams, Woman Becomes 111 and Saloonmen
Come to Rescue When Others Refuse Night Passed in Lake.
(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

While the above is based on the present valuation, with good roads com
pleted, the county will build, and will materially increase in value, which
should reduce the cost to average, $1.20.
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,

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,"
