far he has been fortunate In not

of a few pundture and blowout, he
hasn't been worried much about the

"Pedestrians should bo elven niore
consideration by the motorist." said
Mr. Griffith regarding hi attitude to
ward "Safety Firet," "for little damage
can result from a person running into

MAXWELL SCALES HILL
STOCK CAR BEATS MOUNT HOOD
' RECORD BY MILE! AXD HALF.
W. J. La Casse Drive Over Difficult
Grade. Strewn With Korka aad
Trees. Wltheat Mishap.
Battling its way up the sides of
Mount Hood until & point 7500 feet
above sea level and two miles and
a half above Government Camp Hotel
had been reached, a 1915 Maxwell "25"
touring car early this week established
a new record for climbing; the previ
ous record for scaling Oregon's famous
peak was beaten by more than a mile
and a half.
The trip was under the direction of
W. J. LaCasse, Maxwell manager for
the Northwest territory, who handled
the wheel over the strenuous trail. Not
a single stop for mechanical adjust
ments was recorded, and this In spite
of the fact that the car. used was fresh
from the factory, and had not gone
through the "Umbering up" process.
The run from Portland to Govern
ment Camp. Hotel waa made in three
hours and a quarter. At this point the
real climb began, and until a spot two
miles and a half up the trail beyond
the hotel had been reached Mr. LaCasse
pressed his machine to the limit.
According to the official observers
who accompanied the Maxwell on its
tour, the conditions seemed almost Im
possible to overcome. For the entire
distance from Government Camp Hotel
to the place where a halt waa called
the trail was strewn with fallen trees
and rocka, and the road was of soft
volcanic ash that allowed the Maxwell
to plunge In clear to Its rear axles. In
spite of these handicaps the car sur
mounted grrades as steep as 30 per cent
In pitch, and at the end the radiator
was as cool aa though It had ' been
coasting on the Columbia Highway.
