Great efforts are being made by Hood
River residents and by citizens of
repute in Portland to open up for
automobile travel the road known as
the Skyline boulevard, which at pres
ent Is nothing more than a trail six
feet wide built through from Hood
River Valley over the Cascade Moun
tains connecting with the automobile
roads of Multnomah and Hood River
counties. The objections that have
been made to It up to date are that it
would possibly pollute the Bull Run
water supply and enhance the chances
of fire in the reserve.
These objections are met in the full
est possible way by Wilson koss
Wlnans. of Hood River, who is actively
signatures sufficient to get the road
opened.
Board's Objections Answered.
"The objections of the Water Depart
ment and Commissioner Daly can be
met in a very few words," said Mr.
Wlnans. "Mr. Daly says the city mav
need a new water supply. Instead ot
using condemnation proceedings to
procure new and costly water and land,
all that is necessary to do is to ap
propriate the Little Bull Run River,
which is within the Bull Run water
shed, and to build reservoirs along the
Bull Run River, where enough water
supply can be stored for all time.
"Where this Skyline boulevard passes
through the reserve is along the Clear
Fork of the Sandy, an inconsequential
stream which is 1200 feet below the
watershed of Bull Run Lake and there
fore It could in no way . pollute the
supply. Figures in proof of my state
ment can be secured at the Forestry
Service Offices in the Beck building.
Forestry Service Favors.
"Now with regard to the risk of
lire the forestry people are greatly in
favor of the highway because the pres
ence of a good automobile road
through there would enable men on
motorcycles to patrol the road and
would enable Are fighting men and ap
paratus to be rushed to the scene of
any fire much more rapidly than could
possibly be the case without such a

which will open up an amphitheater
of natural wonders and will make pos
sible a round trip from Portland to

the ability of any piece of machinery
to stand the punishment that those

the question of a doubt that the build

problems of automobile construction,
and that the future will see- very few
radical mechanical changes.

" WeEuildBetter Tires
Than Goodyears
That in efrect is what makers say when they charge you higher
AA 1 A mnlc-f-r An that. 1 hev are ask-
ing for tires up to one-half more than present
Goodyear prices. The inference is wrong. Those
extra prices are all unjust. The verdict of users
as shown by sales is that No-Rim-Cut tires are
the best in the world. And in four ways they
certainly are.
That Is Impossible
It is utterly impossible, so far as men
tnkuiM a better tire than Good-
yean, measured by cost per mile.
I
m
V. ..r snrl veaTS Wf've em-
w jw. j r j
ployed scores of experts to find out
ways to better them. Their efforts
have cost us $100,000 per year.
No-Rim-Cut tires mark the present
day limit, to the best of their belief.
How They Excel
No-Rim-Cut tires, m at least four
ways, excel every other tire.
Out No-Rim-Cut feature which
we control is found in these tires
alone.
Our "On-Air" cure is employed
by no other maker. This extra proc
ess costs us $450,000 yearly, but
it saves many times that in blow-outs.
Our rubber
rivets formed
to combat tread
separation are
a patent feature
found in no
other tire.

rkr m-eatest anti-skid is an exclu
sive Goodyear feature. It is tough,
double-thick and enduring. It is flat
and smooth, yet it grasps wet roads
in a resistless way with countless
deep, sharp-edged grips.
What We Save
Our matchless output and mod
em equipment have immensely cut
cost of production. They have cut
our overhead cost 24 per cent, our
labor cost 25 percent Wehave also
cut our profits, until last year they
averaged 64 per cent.
No-Rim-Cut lire prices dropped
28 per cent last year. They are
half what they used to be. But
never before was the quality so
high as it is today.
Smaller makers can't compete
on any high-
grade tire.

Last Year's Record
The HUDSON Six-40 has now run for a eaon
in thousands of hands, on all sorts of roads, in Eiiropfl
and America. And not a single shortcoming developed.
All the qu estions men had have been answered. Every
innovation has proved itself practical. As the car re
vealed itself, men flocked by the thousands to it. And
the end of the season left 3,000 disappointed.
There was no rival in sight of the HUDSON SLx-40. Andthia
year -with a trebled output, with thirty-one new features and a
much lower price effective rivalry ia out of the question.
Leads Popular Class
The HUDSON Six-40 is the leader in a new.
Immensely popular class. It marks the sane medium
in size and power. It marks the top limit b quality,
beauty, finish and equipment. It marks the low limit
for such a car in price, in weight, in operative cost.
The more you know of motor cars the more this car
will appeal to you.
The Larger HUDSON Six-54
