HIGHWAY OPEN TO STONE
FTB
Detours Made to Give Access So Far
but Even if Travel Were , Per
mitted Farther Hood River
Road Would Be Impassable.
The paving companies which have
been engaged during: the past several
months hard-surfacing the main rural
highways of Multnomah County have
now called their crews to a halt until
next Spring when several little patches,
aggregating 8.8 miles, will be finished
and the entire programme authorized
under the J 1.250,000 bond issue com
pleted. Today and during; all the months to
come, rain or shine, the Columbia River
Highway will be open as far as Stone,
a point about one mile beyond Warren
dale. To give residents of Multnomah
County the benefit of this privilege it
was necessary for Mr. Yeon to con
struct a short detour connecting with
the old Latourell road so as to avoid
traversing the new fills on the highy
way Just beyond Crown Point known
as the figure eights. Also In places
where short dirt fills were not settled
sufficiently to make paving feasible
Mr. Yeon has either had the gaps
bridged with planks or macadamized
so that vehicle travel may pass all
year long. In the Spring these places
Vrill be ready for hasty pavement.
Hood River Drive Not Feasible.
Those who have hoped that they
rnlsht be able to drive to Hood River
and upper points during the Winter
will be disappointed to learn that
travel will probably not be permitted
any further than Stone. If the weather
had permitted the gravel surface would
have been laid at least as far as Bonne
ville, but Mr. Yeon said yesterday that
he did not believe it would be possible
to work liny further on account of the
recent heavy rains.
At any rate motorists driving as far
as Hood River County this late In the
reason would have run Into dirt roads
along the new construction surveys
there that would have been impassable.
Therefore, it will be out of the ques
tion to drive to Hood River and The
Dalles over the Columbia Highway this
year and it will probably be Impossible
iilso after the heavy rains have had
tlielr full effect to follow the Wash
ington side to Stevenson and then ferry
across to Cascade Locks.
Of course, after the cold weather
comes and the road surfaces are frozen
hard there is no telling how the dirt
roads on either bank of the river may
lie, but it is reasonable to assume that,
as a general proposition, comfortable
through traffic will not be advisable,
even if the road officials wilt permit it.
Stone Road Heavy.
Just now the road above Stone Is so
heavy that it would be foolish to al
low the machines and wagons to cut
the highway into deep furrows.
With respect to the three paved roads
leading to the entrance of the high
way, the Sandy Road has 2.6 miles on
both sides of Troutdale that will not
be done this year, there is a half-mile
stretch along the Base Lice that will
not be done until Spring, while the
Powell Valley road Is entirely
completed. The Base Line and Powell
Valley roads will be passable
their full distance, but it will be neces
sary to leave the Bandy road at Fair
view and cross to the Base Line in or
der to get to the highway.
There is half a mile of work yet to
be done on the Foster road, a mile on
the Capitol Highway, and one-fifth of
a mile on the Canyon road that will go
over until Spring. Either with planks
or permanent gravel, however, these
roads will be kept passable during the
Winter. The Canyon road, which has
been tied up for some time on account
"of the paving work will be opened
agatn In about two weeks.
A few oi the railroad crossings on
the road to Linnton are not finished
but virtually so.

MBS. THEODORE DOSCH, AT WHEEL AND MISS PEARL COLEMAN, IV MRS. DOSCITS NEW STUDB-
BAKEB SIX ROADSTER.
After waiting patiently three months for her new car to arrive, Mrs. Theodore Dosch cow may be seen
almost any day driving the first 191S six-cylinder Studebaker roadster to reach Portland.
With her on most of her trips about Portland and over the newly paved rural roads is her sister. Miss
Pearl Coleman, The new Itasca car is a roadster, to be sure, but it Is roomy enough to seat three average
sized people without any discomfiture and It has power enough in those six cylinders to carry a whole .
regiment, she says.
When R. R. Coster, an Oregon Motor Car Company salesman, took her order for the car Mrs. Dosch
thought He was talking rather extravagantly and discounted some of his promises, but now that she has
received her roadster and driven it day after day, she is outtalking Mr. Coster on the good points of the car.
Mrs. Dosch is practicing hard to master every detail of the car before the return of Mr. Dosch, whose
business keeps him in Middle part, N. Y a good share of the time.
ENGINEERS ARE BUSY
Motor Car Designers Are Mak
ing Rapid Strides.
LAYMEN SEE FEW DETAILS
Ideas Exchanged Freely at Annual
JUjeetang of Society and Better
Automobiles Is Mutual Spir
it of Entire Session.
During the past three years motor
car engineering has made and is still
making most rapid strides.
Due to the fact that first princi
ples were well mastered and out of
the way, the engineer has been left
free to exercise his genius and inge
nuity m the finer and, in the last
analysis, many of the most Important
details of this development are not
evident to the casual observeir such
as frame design, clutch and clutch
collar mechanism, brake and gear
shift devices, etc.; but the obvious
manifestations of this progress are
electrical lighting, starting, the V
shaped motors of various numbers of
cylinders and the growing tendency
to reduce weight without sacrifice of
strength.
During the annual Summer meet
ing of the Society of Automobile En
gineers, held this year aboard the
steamer Koronic in the Georgian Bay
district, perhaps the best discussion
on the subject of motor design was
brought out that the society has ever
presented to Its members.
Ideas Exehansed Freely.
The most prominent men, in the in
dustry freely expressed their ideas,
told the secrets . of their laboratories
and experimental departments and ex
changed mental sallies with each other
and their more obscure brothers, all to
one purpose build better motorcars.
The paper which evoked a flood of
comment was presented by Alanso P.
Brush, a prominent engineer of great
professional attainment, and was en
titled. "Modern Tendencies of Motor
uesign. The author briefly touched
on the relative merits of four-cylinder
vertical, six-cylinder vertical and
eight and 12-cylinder V-shaoed.
The general tenor seemed to be that
mere was considerable room for all
the designs and each had their sphere
and uses.
Some Problems Plata.
If the number of cylinders was the
only point considered, there would be
no logical reason to stop at IX cylin
ders, as IS or 31 cylinders even would
be still better but the problems go
beyond merely the Question of Infinity
of cylinders.
There are plain engineering prob
lems, such as suitable camshaft drives,
elimination of long chains, proper lub
rication, proper cooling and carbure
tion. and not least by any means,
proper ignition. When there Is so
wide a divergence of opinion as on
thexe points, the road Is not clear.
The best minds of the Industry are
split en them, so we cannot lightly
brush them aside. There Is only one
test for all these things time. Ex
periment and experience take time and

ATJTO TJSE TS WINTER GAINS
Dealers Report Greater Sale Than
Ever of Closed Cars.
"This Winter will see a far greater
number of cars in use than ever be
fore in the cold season." says A. C
Stevens, manager of the Winton branch.
"Owners are coming to realize that the
automobile renders the most valuable
service in precisely the season when
many of them were accustomed to store
their cars.
"When sleet, snow, ice and freezing
blast make walking (even to a
streetcar) and waiting on a street cor
ner extremely disagreeable and often
dangerous, then It is that your johnny-on-the-spot
motorcar is most needed.
The demand for closed cars this Fall
is unprecedented, and there Is a heavy
call for sedans. This indicates that
many families that do not employ
Chauffeurs intend to enjoy closed-car
comfort. We have also had a consid
erable request for coupes."
fflNE MARKET PREDICTED
MAXWELIi MANAGER IN ENGLAND
FORESEES GREAT FCTEBB.
American Cam Declared Bouii Cap
ture Practically All Trade la
Paasenser Vehicles.
DETROIT, Oct. 23. That America will
soon own bodily the entire automobile
trade of Great Britain and such parts
of Continental Europe as are open to
commerce is the confident declaration
of Ernest A. De Lorenzi, of the Max
well Motor Company of London, who
has been for several days In confer
ence with American officials of the
parent company.
Mr. De Lorenzi believes that the Max
well company should expand the scope
of its export campaign, even to a
greater extent than the normal rate of
Increase provided for in the allotment
of cars in the season's schedule.
"European factories are producing
virtually no passenger-carrying cars at
all for private consumption," says Mr.
De Lorenzi. "Most of them are work
ing solely on government contracts,
building cars adapted for war purposes
with various types of body. Some of
them are changing their entire plants
over to the production of aeroplanes.
Touring cars of British make are pro
duced only in such a limited way as to
create no impression whatever on the
market.
"British makers are still further
handicapped by the fact that, unless
they are working on government con
tracts, they have only the , lame, the
halt and the blind among the nation's
workmen. The pick of the British me
chanics are all either at the front or
at work on government enterprises.
"To still further increase the handi
caps of the British makers, the price
of skilled labor has Increased nearly
100 per cent a condition which would
bar the door to the production of any
car at a profit."
Mr. De Lorenzi says that, aside from
the smallness of his allotment of cars,
the feature which worries him most is
the difficulty of getting cars across
the Atlantic Virtually all the available
vessels are chartered for war munitions
and his firm has now in New York
considerable shipment of Maxwell cars
which have been awaiting transit for
two weeks.
OF MOTORCYCLES ON RURAL
ROUTES.
- -v
SLOW BRAKING BESt
Shut Off Power and Gradually
Come to Stop, Is Advice.
SLIDING HARD ON TIRES
Best Method Is to Apply Pressure
So Evenly That Forward Move
ment of Car and Rotation of
Wheels Stop at Same Time.
Few motorists intelligently use the
brakes on their motor cars, a great
number on account of carelessness and
the others on account of the lack of
experience.
When the brakes are applied with
full force to the wheels of the car
speeding along at the rate, say, of 30
miles an hour, the braking action will
be so powerful as to immediately stop
the rotation of the driving wheels. But
the car will not come to an immediate
standstill. Its momentum will send it
forward and the locked rear wheels
will slide over the ground with the
most destructive effect on the tires.
When you consider that in railroad
practice the so-called "flat wheel" Is
produced by too sudden braking, you
will be able to appreciate the effect
which a similar practice must have on
rubber tires of an automobile.
Bear In mind, therefore, that the best
method of using brakes is that
method which applies pressure on them
so gradually that the forward move
ment of the car and the rotation of
the wheels are stopped at the same
time.
Nothing is more severe on the car
than the spectacular stopping often in
dulged in by ignorant drivers in an
effort to "show off.
The careful driver shuts his power
off -before be reaches the stopping
point and permits tne car to carry him
along on its momentum, bringing It,
with a gradual application of the
brakes, to a halt at the exact spot.
Although the foot or the service
brake may be used to slow the car
down while the clutch Is in, it is a
poor practice to do so.
Whenever It becomes necessary .to
slow down, release the .clutch first
that arone will have an immediate
slo wins-down effect on the movement
of the car, because It disconnects the
power. If additional checking is
needed, apply the foot-brake, or, for a
quick stop, the foot and the emergency
brakes together.
To make it plain, the clutch pedal
goes down first, the brake pedal next.
If a full stop is not desired, merely
a temporary slackening of the speed
release the brake pedal first, then let
the clutch pedal come up. Releasing
the clutch first would compel the motor
to pull against the brake, with conse
quent rapid wearing down of the brake
lining.
No motorist is qualified to give his
car the best of care until he has mas
tered the control of the gears and of
the brakes. These understood, he may,
witn aafety, go anywhere.

When Winter's bite makes the touring car cheerless and uncomfortable,

VAKDiA SEEKS ACTO ROAD
Connection With Lower River High
way and Portland Proposed.
Evidence of what the proposed North
Yakima-White Salmon road will mean
to Portland may be read in the fol
lowing article which appeared in the
Yakima Herald recently, under a head
ing "Road to Portland god for Yakima
construction of missing link in this
county would afford route incomparable
for beautiful scenery":
"Yakima delegates who attend the
state good roads meeting in Ellensburg
next month will go with a very clear
opinion in their minds as to what par
ticular road development this section is
ready to boost for It may not be a
matter which will Interest the good
roads convention as a state organiza
tion, for it looks toward Portland and
not to Seattle and Tacoma.
'"The Snoqualmie Pass road offers a
delightful scenic route, which is. how
ever, available only about four month'
in the year. It is a steady uphill pull
for at least half the distance, no matter
on which side of the divide the start is
made. The road which would seem to
be the natural outlet to this valle7
is along the Columbia River, and what
road construction enthusiasm is bub
bling about loose is to be bottled up
for us in making apparent the advan
tages of a road from North Yakima to
he Klickitat County line, to connect
with a road which that county is to
construct from White Salmon, which
road. In turn, connects with the admira
ble hlabway along the south bank of
the Columbia, which has been built by
the State of Oregon.
"People who went over the Columbia
River part of the road the past Sum
mer say that it affords 40 miles of
scenery than which the much-talk-of
Riverside Drive of New York has noth
ing more beautiful to show. The Yaki
ma County part of the route, as tenta
tively outlined, would mean the im
provement of the present road to Fort
Slracoe and thence down the Klickitat
River to Glendale.
" It wouldn't be a nad Idea for
Yakima. said a "business man yester
day, 'to have a big city like Portland
accessible by automobile. There is no
reason why we should be dependent on
Seattle and Tacoma for our purchases
or our pleasures. Portland, on a down
grade haul. Is our natural big city, by
all geographical standards. That it
happens in another state does not alter
the advantageousness ox its location so
far as we are concerned. I should like
to see this road built without delay.'
"Another deckled advantage of the
Columbia River Highway is that It
will be open the year through."

BATTERY GABE H)
STORAGE SUPPLY SHOULD WOT PE
OVERLOOKED, IS WARNING.
New Company Starts Campaign to
Doctor Ills ef Balky font ri
ff vances on All Machines.
"Just because the storage battery
used for cranking an automobile is
usually hidden beneath the floor
boards of or seat of a car Isn't any
reason why tbe motorists of Portland
should "overlook it entirely until It
bucks for want of attention."
This remark was made last week
by C. A. Bankhead. who, with William
Christman as partner, recently opened
the offices of the Storage Battery Com
pany at 348 Couch street, in the H. L.
Keats building.
The company has employed Ralph
Whitcomb. formerly head of the battery
department at the Portland branch of
Chanslor & Lyon Company, to doctor
the ills of balky batteries, and J. C.
Fischer, of Pittsburg, as generator ex
pert. The company has taken the
agency for the i9tate of Oregon on the
exlde battery.
Mr. Bankhead will be remembered
as the man who drove his own specially
built racer in the local automobile
races last Summer, carrying away
honors In several of the races reserved
for Portland cars. For two years Mr.
Bankhead had charge of the batery de
partment for the H. L. Keats Company.
"An automobile starting battery does
not require a great deal of attention,
but oftentimes an inspection saves the
battery from worthlessness or the ne
cessity of expensive repairs," says Mr.
Bankhead.
"The storage battery has often been
called the 'heart' of the automobile
starting and lighting system. The best
system in the world with a poor bat
tery means constant trouble and ex
pense, for there is no place where qual
ity counts to a greater degree than in a
battery for automobile starting, light
ing and ignition.
"Of course, the battery must be prop
erly charged. It is also important that
the cells be filled with pure water, not
acid, from time to time, so as to keep
the water even with the top of the
plates."
MOTOR LAW CODE IS READY
American Association Completes

be had by sending to the National
headquarters of the association either
at Washington or New York.
Study of the report shows that with
few exceptions most of the states Im
pose a double tax. The notable excep
tion wherein the paying of one tax
definitely bars all othtsr forms are in
the state of New York. Idaho, Iowa and
Oklahoma. These commonwealths spe

Simplicity of Xevr Motor Type IS

The Hudson car will use a six-cylinder
motor exclusively in all future
models planned by this company.
"Our refinement and development of
the six-cylinder type of motor leads us
to believe it surpasses in simplicity,
low cost of upkeep, performance and
general adaptability, any other type so
tar developed for use in pleasure vehi
cles," says C. C. Winningham. of the
Hudson factory, in a letter received
last week by C. L. Boss, the Oregon
dealer.
"We have built every type of motor"
from one to 13 cylinders. The recog-
nixed ability of our engineering de
partment insured that these motors
would be the best of -their kind in the
present state of motor development.
"The result of this research con
vinced us more firmly than ever before
of the absolute supremacy of the Hud
son six-cylinder motor.
"It is therefore more than pleasing
to us to announce the continuation of
the consistent policy which has marked
our progress and advise Hudson buy
ers, both past and future, that they are
securing the best engineering develop
ment that the industry offers.
NEW KISSELKAK IS PRAISED
11. C. Skinner Says "All-Year Car'
Is Winning Its Way.
"There is no denying that Kissel's In

wonderful success," says H. C. Bkinner,
manager of the Pacic Kissel Kar Com
pany. "The all-year cai- a Kissel Kar la
the only design really offering two cara
In one a complete touring car and a
complete closed car, neither indicating
that it is anything else. No one but
Kisssel has accomplished this, because
few others build their own bodies. The
all-year car is a highly specialised ar

be constructed with the car, not by
some organization apart. Baoh top is
fitted Individually to the touring car
it Is to mount.
"The new all-year models are hand
some, including a coupe as well as a
sedan type. The coupe Is built for use
in connection with a nifty four-passenger
roadster. It is already so popular
that many predict it will outsell the
sedan."
The Goodyear Tire A Rubber Com
pany during the first six months of
1415 produced 3,700,090 feet of hose,
which equaled Its production for the
entir eyear of 1914. There has been
a phenomenal demand for garden hose,
necessitating the operation of this de
partment day and night. Recently
240.0O0 feet of garden hose were turned
out in one week.
