By act of Congress the American

CUBING RECORD MADE
THREE. MOUNTAIN SUMMITS
REACHED IN ONE DAY.
Trio of Portland Men Scale Mount
Chinldere, Monnt Defiance and
Green Point Mountain.
Chester Treichel, Dean Van . Zandt
and Clement Blakney, of the Mohawk
Athedial Club, have qualified for moun
tain climbers extraordinary and their
triple achievement las Sunday, when
they scaled Mount Chinidere, Mount De
fiance and Green Point Mountain all
in one day, has stood thus far undis
puted as one of the most strenuous
day's outings chronicled this year. The
fe&.t, it is contended, has not been du
plicated by any outing party, and the
three boys are anxiously awaiting con
tradiction to their claim before set
ting it up as absolute.
The trio left Portland Saturday night.
August 5, for Herman Creek range
station, starting their, hike and climb
from there. Mount Chinidere was
reached shortly after midnight, the
summit being scaled by 2:40 o'clock
Sunday morning. The summit is 4666
feet high. Leaving there soon after,
they reached Green Point Mountain
shortly after daylight, making the sum
mit at 7:40 o'clock. Green Point has
an altitude of 4720 feet.
Mount Defiance, the last peak to be
scaled, was attained at 10:45 o'clock in
the morning. This peak is 4960 feet
up. The mountains are between six
and seven miles apart.
The three climbers believe the trip
was the first one in which three moun
tains were scaled under similar cir
cumstances all in one trip. Anyone
who has duplicated it has been asked
to make the feat known. The Mohawk
climbers left records on the tops of the
mountains.

SERVICE, aa the Hup
mobile owner knows
it, and service as it is
generally understood,
axe two radically different
things.
No other car is cared for as
the Hupmobile is cared for.
No other service plan is like
the Hupmobile service plan.
' Hupmobile service is an in
timate, intensified system of
supervision. It keeps , the
owner and his car in close
and continuous contact with
the service station.
1 The service station sees to it
that every Hupmobile is
tuned up to concert pitch all
the time.
All at no cost to the owner.
He pays with coupons which
we supply without cost when
he purchases his car.
The coupons cover four
hours of service labor by
trained Hupmobile experts,
each month for eight
months. ,
Service That Covers
Every Part of the Car
L. A. AUrich of Mellette. S.
D., jcrps this service is a great
help to Hupmobile onmert.
When you drive up to the
service station, one of the
things that is given as a mat
ter of course is an inspection
of the steering gear and a
test of the brake adjust
ment. A. C. Koch of Chicago mile
thai our plan makes the initial
pleasure of owning a car a con
stant pleasure.
The alignment of the front
wheels is checked up. and
the front wheel bearings are
examined for play.
George P. Edmonds of Chicago
finds this the most satisfactory
service arrangement he has en
countered in his experience ivilh'
three different cars.
Distilled water is added to
the storage battery, and the
specific gravity of the bat
tery is tested to determine
that it is fully charged.
Spark plugs, wiring termi
nals, ignition distributer,
generator and starting motor
are gone over. Grease cups
are turned down. Motor,
transmission and differential
are supplied with new lubri
cant when necessary the

That is how we know that
24 210 per cent of those
now owning Hupmobiles
have been won away from
higher priced cars by Hup
mobile performance, effici
ency, service, and thorough
going goodness.
Why Buy Any Car
Lacking Such Service ?
Is it worth anything to you
to have a car whose care
never gives you a moment's
distress A car which keeps
you serenely and continu
ously satisfied
That is what the Hupmobile ,
owner has. He enjoys the
tremendous advantage of ex
pert care. He is, in short, the
most contented of owners.
Can you afford even to think
of buying any car that does
not offer the equal of Hup
mobile service?.

FACTS SENT CONGRESSMEN
Charles Ilegele Points Out. Expense
of Transportation of Foreign
. Material In Comparison
With That Near Home.
BY BLANCHE E. RIDDLE.
RIDDLE. Or Aug. 12. (Special.)
Fire has destroyed the oldest
house In Cow Creek valley, a his
toric hewn-log structure erected In
1S52 on his donation-claim by W. H.
Riddle, who was the second settler In
the valley, having acquired the land in
1851.
Mr. Riddle crossed the plains with
his family, by ox teams, in the early
'50s and helped to settle up the West.
This old log house has had as guests
in its time such honored men in Ore
gon history as W. G. P. Vault, editor
of the first newspaper in the state,
and General Joseph Lane, the first
Governor of Oregon. It was the house
"magnificent" when Thomas J. Deyer
and Asahel Bush, territorial printer,
gave their memorable political speeches
in Cow Creek valley.
Just across the creek from the log
house, in the early years of settlement.
lived the once famous band of Cow
Creek Indians. Although known in his
tory as revengeful and treacherous.
these Indians were always friendly
with the family in the log house. In
1855, when they joined the Rogues in a
raid through Cow Creek and Umpqua
Valleys they came across the creek to
tell (Lumpty and Muligould) the aged
man and woman, in their language,
that they themselves would never harm
them, but that other Indians might,
and that they had better go away for
a while, which they did.
The donation claim on which this
old log house had stood for so many
years is now known as Glenbrook
Farm, one of the most highly improved
farms of Douglas County. It has a
large prune orchard, a big steam dryer,
and many other up-to-date improve
ments.
The log bouse was burned to give
way to the march of progress before
which It was an obstruction.
Oregon sandstone is better adapted
for use in the new Portland postoffice
and can be delivered in Portland much
cheaper than the Bedford stone which
the Democratic Congressmen of Indiana
are trying to force the Government to
use.
This is the emphatic assertion of
Charles Hegele, a member of the firm
of Hegele & Riedle, owners and oper
ators of extensive stone quarries near
Sutherlin. in Douglas County.
The Sutherlin quarries have been in
operation for several years, and some
of the best buildings in the southern
part of the state are constructed of its
products.
Recently the United States Depart
ment of Commerce conducted a series
of investigations on the Sutherlin stone
and reported that the tests showed
high state of efficiency and usefulness.
The Sutherlin stone Is extremely hard
and when treated presents an attractive
grayish-blue surface. Jt is fireproof
and almost indestructible. The Gov
ernment's tests show that its maximum
moisture absorption is only 1.66 per
cent. The absorption of some of the
Eastern stones is fully 10 per cent.
The question of absorption. Mr. He
gele points out, is an important one.
I believe, says Mr. Hegele, "that
nature provides each locality with ma
terlals of the precise quality that it
needs. Oregon sandstone Is best adapt
ed to Oregon buildings. It would be
mistake to ship Indiana sandstone out
here. It probably would be best for the
Indiana climat. but it is not suited to
the Oregon climate. '
The question of freight rates, too, i
an important factor in this connection
The Sutherlin stone can be delivered
here for less than S 2 a ton. The freigh
on the Indiana stone will cost fully $30
a ton.
These facts have been submitted to
the members of the Oregon delegation
In Congress. It is probable that a vig
orous campaign will be started in Port
land and in other parts of Oregon to
obtain the use of native stone for the
building.

Catarrh Always Means
Lessened Vitality
It is a. siaoriatiori of a mucous surface. Sometimes ?t is
local ; often it is systemic. Then it may manifest itself in
unexpected ways in the stomach, the intestines, or the .
head. Always it means a part of the delicate mechanism
of the body is not working, and other
parts must overwork. Continued, catarrh
means. the involvement of larger areas,
and eventually a diseased, weakened sys
tem that invites worse troubles.
Control It Promptly
Take a tonic that will invigorate the
whole body by restoring digestion and
cleaning' tip the stagnation. That tonic should be
Peruna, because it is specially designed for just
such conditions, and because of its wonderful rec
ord of success in nearly half a century it has been
relied upon. The large number many thousands
who have willingly told of its help to them are
the best proof that it will relieve you as well. It's
worthy of your trial.
