Castle Rock and Toledo, Many Visitors From Other States Are Loud In Praise of Roads and Scenery Observed on Trip. Crater Lake-appears to be one of the chief objective points for nearly every party of motorists arriving in Portland or departing, the same rule applying to Portlanders as well as those who hail from afar. As a matter, there are more California cars than Oregon machines making long tours in Oregon now, according to the observations of George L Baker, who recently returned from Crater Lake with John F. Logan and others. H. E. Noble and W. M. Knight are other Portlanders who have just re turned from Crater Lake with parties of friends. Among those who left for Crater Lake with respective parties last week were C. F. Wright. Walter H. Evans. Clarence R. Reames, Mayor Albee. W. J. Clemens and Ralph Meyer. Many of those going to Crater Lake choose tne central Oregon route on the way down, approach the lake from the Klamath end and return north over the Pacific Highway, thus completing a loop. Crater Lake is decidedly the greatest scenic wonder that has been viewed by Mrs. A. R. Hotaling. Jr., Miss J. M. Blair and Miss O'Connor, of San Fran cisco, who arrived in Portland in Miss Blair's Hudson Six last week after driving from San Francisco north to British Columbia and back again They toured through Mount Rainier National Park and visited all of the interesting sections en route, taking month for the trip. From Portland they motored to The Dalles and will go south, entering Crater Lake again, this time from the Klamath side, before proceeding home by way of Lake Tahoe. By the time they arrive in San Francisco their total mileage for the trip will be about 4500 miles. (Bound for points of interest In Cali fornia and for the Hawaiian Islands W. H. Price, of Butte. Mont., steered his Cadillac out of Portland last week with praise on his lips for the Columbia River Highway, the roads of Oregon and Washington and for the cordiality of Portland. Mr. Price said he found most of the roads from Butte to Port- and good. Among the visiting motorists who asked for road information at the Port land branch of the B. K. Goodrich Rub ber Company last week were: C. A. Tibbs. who drove in from Sumpter to participate in buyers' week; C. G. Mc Arthur. of Los Angeles; C. N. Needham, of Fresno, Cal.. and A. R. Thomas, of Gilney. Cal. The latter came north over the Pacific Highway and returned via The Dalles and Central Oregon. Movie Star Buys Scrlpps-Booth Car. That beauty attracts baity is well proved by the purchase of a ScrlppS' Booth car by Miss Gertrude Selby. the well-known star of the L K. O. Com pany.

COM PANY IS 1)111 HI.KD. 7 Enlargement of F.stahllshment at Sixth street Made Necessary by Growth of Business. When A. J. Winters, founder of the auto supply house bearing his name, returns from a vacation passed on his ranch in Douglas County, he will find that the home of his company In Port land has been doubled in capacity dur ing his absence Before his departure negotiations were under way for the rental of the store immediately adjoining the Win ters establishment on the north ano. the deal was closed subsequently by Mr. Winters' son and chief lieutenant In business, Lovelle Winters, on the latter's own initiative. As et the elder Mr. Winters does not know that the deal was carried through according to the original programme -and by the time he returns all the al- teratlons now being carried on will be finished. The A. J. Winters Company moved Into Its present location at 67 fcixth street in 1909. The new store, 5 Sixth street, virtually doubles the space af forded the plant. The same lines han dled by tho firm will be continued without change, the sole reason for the expansion being growth in business. The vulcanizing department will be moved forward and the departments de voted to. the display of Pennsylvania tires. Ford accessories and the general line of auto supplies will be enlarged in proportion quarters. to the expanse of the New "Speed Car Promised. LOS ANGELES. Aug. 12. The first of the new 300-cubic inch displacement Milacs is now under construction here and will be ready in a few weeks. The car is being built for Frederick Rob inson, of this city, and will make its first appearance in competition in the Vanderbilt cup and international grand prize races at Santa Monica on Novem ber 16 and 18.

Hurd, manager of the Port land branch of The White Company said: "In winning the medal d'honor it shows that all lines of business have improved quite materially on the Pa cific Coast snd particularly in the Northwest. This we can attribute to the sales of our trucks to the lumber and timber Concerns operating in the forests of the great Northwest.

At first before the 'Good Roads' truck could use the highway the supervisors had to have a demon stration and be shown that the truck would not tear up the roadway. One short demonstration proved the truck made the road smooth and broke down all rocks projecting above the road surface. "Larger volume of business during the past two years especially in firms depending upon motor trucks for trans portation means more trucks sold. Be fore the war there were a great many Idle steamers and sailing vessels laid up awaiting a chance to get a cargo. All this Is changed now. Every avail able bottom is eagerly sought and charters are made that spell fortune In one voyage, be the port of call Aus tralia. England or Russian. These vessels cost hundreds t( dollars a -iay for the charter, hence contractors must load them rapidly and economically. Horee-drawn vehicles are out of the question. A dependable motor truck careful driver and the work is done in no time. "Our nales In the Northwest for the part 12 months, show a marked ad vance over that of any preceding month of the year before. Credit this partly to mining companies and ore buyers purchasing our heavy service trucks. Owing to the rapid advance In price and call for copper, ore, silver, chrome, quicksilver, manganese, mag nesite. xln? trucks are In demand. The steel works and factories back East must have lhee metals, hence, the summons is rush shipment In carload lots. AH abandoned or neglected mines as well as newly discovered properties are paying their tribute to the Nation's prosperity. Motor trucks fill the void between mine and mill or railroad transportation. AMERICAN PLANTS EFFICIENT Firestone Company Offers Example of Preparedness. In a recent talk Thomas Kdlson brought forward the idea that Amer ica, supposed to bo unprepared for such trials as the great nations of Europe have, been going through.
