Come now, Mr. Average Portlander,
did you know that much Multnomah

But It can safely be said that the
world has nowhere else to offer such
a collection of mammoth waterfalls

42-mile run along the Columbia High
It Is suggested as a run for the city

offers a quick out-and-return trip for
a Summer's afternoon or evening.
Rock Work I Notable.
Longer trips, such as those to Mount
Hood, have been discussed before In
The Oreeonian and will be again.
While taking the Columbia River
Highway run, the visitor should have
pointed out tne unique Italian arj

DISPLAYS ARE REALISTIC
Paintings show Columbia Highway
With Vivid Realism, Bringing Out
Many Famous and Beautiful
Spots Gracing Route.
The Portland Automobile Dealers'
Trade Association is entitled to a great
aeai or credit for the public spirit they
have displayed in -devotine- about one-
half of the ballroom in the Armory
during the automobile show to an edu
cational good roads exhibit, featuring
the Columbia highway. In this room.
which houses the automobile acces
sories exhibit, a space has been pro
vided for a good Toads exhibit.
The walls of the room are hung with
some of the mammoth paintings which
have been prepared for the Columbia
highway exhibit In the Transportation
building at the Panama Exhibition.
Several of these have been completed
and are installed that Portland people
may have the pleasure of seeing them
before they are sent to San Francisco.
These paintings are the work of
Fred A. Routledge, who, in addition
to being an artist of unusual ability,
has the advantage of knowing the en
tire country from the seashore to Hood
River and Mount Hood, having tramped
over every foot of the ground. This
close acquaintance with his subject has
enabled him to paint from the heart
and the productions are pronounced by
critics to be remarkably true. -
Famous Point Are Shown,
The paintings which have been com
pleted and installed in this room con-
ist of a large one measuring 30 by 15
feet ' showing ; Hood River Valley " in
blossom time with Mount Hood in the
background! Famous points in the
Hood River Valley are brought out
prominently. Another represents the
mouth of the Columbia River, show
ing the docks at Flavel, Astoria,
Young's Bay with Saddle Mountain in
the distance. The beach is shown as
far as' Neah-Kah-Nie Mountain. The
new steamer Great Northern is shown,
together with other river and ocean
going craft.
Another painting shows Multnomah
Falls with the highway bridge in the
foreground - and the foot bridge re
cently presented by S. Benson. Still
another represents Latourell Falis In
all its beauty. -
- These paintings are the preliminary
portion of the mammoth scene which
will depict the Columbia highway in
the Transportation building and are
being provided by a committee of
which J. C. Ainsworth is chairman.
The State Fair Commission has al
ready contributed $1600 toward the
cost of this- work, the balance to be
provided by public subscription, th
greater portion of which is already
assured. In the raising of the funds
required for this work prominent bus!
ness clubs of the city, the Portland
Automobile Club, and the Automobile
Dealers' Association have been large
factors. v
Beauty Spots Beprodnced.
There are also large and numerous
photographs of the beauty spots along
the Columbia highway and another
painting of a "section of the highway
showing proposed improvements along
the Columbia River.
. In this room will also be shown every
evening except Monday during the
show a series of views along the Co
lumbia highway, shown and explained
by S. C. Lancaster, consulting engineer
for Multnomah County, who laid ou
this famous highway. These stereop
ticon pictures are beautiful hand-col
ored slides, many of them being in
the new natural color process showing
scenes along the Columbia In beautiful
Autumn tints . and In a way never be
fore shown. . .
This entire exhibit Is purely educa
tional and is a part of the automobile
show without any additional cost, and
will be enjoyed by many who may not
be interested in even seeing the motor
cars themselves.

MOTOR TRUCKS
WITH
WORM DRIVE REAR AXLE
Represent the Utmost in Transportation Service
YEARS of successful service have proved how
successfully FEDERAL Motor Trucks have
fulfilled the demand of the commercial world for
an . efficient, sturdy, .. dependable, economical
means of transportation. , '
In the service of some of the world's largest
users of transportation, as well as in the service
of concerns who require but one or two trucks,
the FEDERAL has always made good- It has
never been an experiment.
It rapidly became known all over the world aa
the Truck Triumphant," and in addition to the
extensive use of FEDERALS in the U. S. A,
these trucks are being; used in foreign commer
. cial fields and in huge fleets by foreign govern
ments. .
On the Pacific Coast, where conditions are extremely hard on motor
trucks, the FEDERAL has demonstrated its real ability in a forceful
manner. Over 700 FEDERALS are operating now on the Pacific Coast
All the sturdiness all the dependable and efficient servlce-glvinr qualities of the double chain drive
FEDERALS which the Federal Motor Truck Co. still continues to manufacture at Detroit are combined
with the silence, cleanliness and long life of the worm gear drive FEDERALS.
It is not a new truck but merely a change In the final method of drive. Aside from the ehaBire In final
drive, the same engineering principles that have made the FEDERAL Chain Models such a sueceaa are
retained In this new model.
The capacity Is the same 3000 pounds.
Because of Its silence, cleanliness, simplicity and
long life, the worm gear drive truck has long been
a favorite for hotel service, ambulance work, bus
lines, bakeries, department and furniture stores,
etc, as well as In most other lines of business.
Worm gearing retains full efficiency as long as
it lives, and it lives longer than any other form
of drive. Tests and actual service have proven
the worm gearing used in the FEDERAL to be
highly efficient and it actually grows better with
age.
Worm gearing Is dead quiet and stays quiet
has a greater range ot gear ratios than any other
form of drive is the simplest drive, easiest to
operate and least expensive to keep In repair. It
gives a smooth, uniform drive, with great pulling
power.
Greater efficiency Is obtained over other forms
of power transmission because of entire freedom
from dust, dirt or chips and because of the perfect
lubrication possible.
You can Investigate the new FEDERAL Worm
Drive Truck thoroughly at our service station.
Ami It la worth the time of any business man who
is lonironted with haulage problems to make this
Investigation.

ODS IS PROVIDED.
Hupp Company to Make School as Im
portant as Any Other Depart
ment of Auto Factory.
The education of shop employes in
efficiency methods has for the past
year or two commanded the attention
of the entire industrial world. Big
manufacturing establishments In va
rious lines for a long "time have had
their factory schools, where employes
are drilled to work with precision.
safety and in a manner which will be
to the employe s own advantage.
One of the first automobile manu
facturers to see the light of educa
tional work, ' Its benefits not only to
the employe, but also to the factory
and factory product, is the Hupp Motor
Car Company, which recently estab
lished a factory school, open to all
their employes.
It is the opinion of S. H. Humphrey,
manufacturing manager, that it will
not be long before the -factory school
will be as important a part 'of an au
tomobile factory as any of its other
departments.
"Our idea in opening the factory
schooi," said . Mr. Humphrey, "is to
teach our men to become efficient
mechanics, to show them the funda
mental principles back of motor-car
designing, to give them reasons for
accurate and caretul workmanship and
to make them more valuable to them
selves.
This mechanical school will be
big benefit to every man who attends.
We teach them the principles of motor
car construction, how to read blue
prints, the functions of the different
parts of the engine, their relation to
each other, why it is necessary that
each man stick to his .Job and that we
have no shirkers and the results of
hoddy work after the car is on the
road.
Right here is where I think we
will accomplish our biggest aim. for
If we can show the mechanic why it
Is necessary that we have accurate
and careful workmanship In every part
that is placed in the Hupmoblle we
will be able to say without besltancy
that It would be impossible to build
Hunmobiles better.
"The school is In charge of R. G.
Blaine, son of the noted professor of
mechanical devices at Belfast and a
graduate of Edinburgh University.
Mr. Blaine, besides being an expert
mechanician, has had a liberal educa
tion along mathematical lines. He is
an Ideal man to have In charge of
such a school.
"Our Idea Is to hold meetings twice
a week, and we shall have experts
to talk to our men at frequent In
tervals on different subjects.
"It Is the aim and object of. this
company to build Hupmobiles in the
best way possible, and for this reason
the thorough education of our employes
Is of utmost Importance. I know that
this school is going to bring us big
results, for In the short time the school
has been In operation only a little
over a month its effect throughout
the factory has already .become evi
dent."
