v : Elimination.
LONG CAMPAIGN IS NEEDED
State Official Declares Hasty and
Ill-Considered Action, However,
Would Be Harmful Speed
Menace Is. Pointed Out.
BY FRANK J. MILLER,
Oregon Public Service Commissioner,
tPortion of Paper on "Necessity for
Eliminating Railroad Grade Cross-
ings Before Paving-." Read Before
Recent Commonwealth Conference in
' Portland.)
In the days of the horse-drawn' ve
hicle a traveler upon the highway sel
dom, if ever, exceeded a speed of 10
miles an hour, and it is safe to say
that the average was probably less
than five. Governed by the limitations
of the horse, the driver was rarely in
territory with which he was unfamil
iar, and generally was acquainted with
aeh crossing, its location, condition
end surroundings, and often was even
familiar with the time tables of the
railroads. Again, in the rural districts,
because of the possibility of horses
unused to trains becoming frightened,
drivers made It a point to be a con
siderable distance from a "crossing
when a train passed.
With our present extensive use of the
automobile and our greatly increased
mileage of good roads, it has become
possible, and, in fact, quite common,
for the Individual who formerly was
confined in his travel to a compara
tively small section of country imme
diately surrounding his home, to reach
out into adjoining counties, and even
states, and do much traveling in ter
ritory and over roads with which he
Is wholly unfamiliar. His speed has
increased from his former maximum of
10 miles until now it is not uncommon
for him to cover mile after mile at a
cpeed -of from 30 to 40 miles an hour.
Tourists who formerly utilized the
railroads now take advantage of the
added attractions offered by the use of
automobiles, and to a greatly increased
local travel is added this by no means
Insignificant traffic.
Speed Increases Cited.
Spurred by this rival means of rapid
transit, and to meet the ever-increasing
demands of the traveling, and, I
might add, shipping, public for more
speed, the railroad companies are put
ting on through, high-speed trains and
shortening up schedules wherever pos
sible. On the other hand, the automobilist.
actuated by a sense of rivalry or a desire-
to make record time, adds mile
upon mile to an already excessive
speed. Who has not noticed the proud
oar owner invariably dwells at length
upon the short length of time con
sumed in a given run? What ques
tion is asked oftener, or sooner, among
automobile drivers than "How long did
It take you?" Who ever misses an op
portunity to relate with a wealth of
detail his exciting race with a high
speed passenger train which resulted in
victory for his machine? Thus high
speed gives way to higher speed and
the vicious cycle is formed the auto
speeds up the train and the train
speeds up the auto and death' lurks
at the grade crossing to claim them
both.r
Speed restrictions, of course, are
placed, but they are not self-enforcing,
and, at the present time, outside of
our' municipalities, and upon such roads
as our Columbia Highway, they mean
but little in actual practice. More
strict policing of our highways and the
elimination, or positive protection, of
grade- crossings is the solution which
eventually must be adopted.
. Grade Crossings Bring Death.
Thee Commission has In Its files
masses of statistics which show the
deaths and Injuries due directly to the
existence of grade crossings. A study
of these statistics discloses a condition
which is appalling, particularly as to
the number of accidents which are due
entirely to gross carelessness. It is
evident the ordinary run of humanity
exercises little or no care for its own
safety, and, speaking from the experi
ence -of our Commission, I think I am
safe "In saying that the average in
dividual views with more or less re
sentment any attempt to compel him
to exercise a degree of care commen
surate with his safety and welfare.
The fact that only a small percentage
of travelers take the trouble to look
for approaching trains bet'ore passing
over crossings, and that the Southern
Pacific Company alone in the short
period of two years has had 52S cross
ing gates run into and damaged by ve
hicles after they were lowered to pro
tect crossings is conclusive, in my
Judgment, that crossings must be made
"foolproof If the useless loss of human
life and limb is to be prevented.
Casualties Are Anmrroui.
The casualties at these crossings
mount into the thousands each year.
In our own state, during the last six
or- eight years, in excess of 40 deaths
and 180 serious injuries many of them
worse than dekth itself can be traced
directly to grade crossings over the
lines of our principal railroads. These
figures do not include accidents upon
logging or other industrial roads, the
crossings upon which, in many in
stances, are poorly constructed and ex
tremely hazardous. Moreover, tici
dents of this character are increasing
yearly.
The ideal situation, of course, can
only result from' the elimination of all
grade crossings. In a new and un
developed country, such as ours, with
Its limited population and heavy taxa-

MRS. RUTH Jj. SHARFBESS OP WHITTIER, CAUK, AT WHEEL OF HER STIDEBAKER CAR.
Perhaps she doesn't drive, mayhap "she ohTy' rides as an Inactive passenger, but. anyhow, Mrs. Ruth
Zi. Sharpless, of Whittier, Calif., Is now 106 years old and she "motors." else she wouldn't have posed for
a picture the other day at the wheel of a big. Btudebaker car and A. H., Brown, of Portland, manager of the"
Northwest branch of the Studebaker Corporation, wouldn't know all about the hobbles of Mrs. Sharpless.
Half a century ago the relatives of Mrs. Sharpless were heavy buyers of Studebaker vehicles and now
In her ripe old age Mrs. Sharpless has purchased two Studebaker automobiles. To enable the venerable
woman to drive when she wants to. the gear'shift has been extended, which brings It up about six inches
and terminated with a large leather-covered handle. On the steering-wheel is a special ignition cut-out
button, used a great deal for engine compression brake work. When this button is pressed the engine is
switched automatically off aod as the clutch is still engaged the action is to slow the car without using
either brake. I
Has Portland or Oregon a motor enthusiast to match the little woman at Whittier, Calif.? The automo
bile editor of The Oregonlan would be pleased to hear of instances where elderly people either drive their
own cars or enjoy the proverbial sensations of the tonneau.
tlon burdens now being carried. It Is
manifestly impossible to accomplish
this end except through a systematic
campaign extending over a series oi
years.
As new sections open up, additional
grade crossings must be installed, for
a means of ingress and egress is nec
essary if development is to go forward.
A good, fair, business-like administra
tion of this question is1 essential if the
maximum results are to be obtained.
Drastic, ill-considered action, de
signed to prevent the establishment of
all further grade crossings, and the
immediate elimination of present ones,
will do more harm than good andwill
inevitably result in an abandonment of
work that humarltarian principles de
mand should go on. Any mad, wild
rush, although backed by the greatest
enthusiasm, will soon result In such a
chaotic condition that the reaction
which follows will retard, if not com
pletely stop, further progress for a
great many years.
New grade crossings must be estab
lished, but protection as full and com
plete as may be required under the cir
cumstances and conditions surrounding
each particular case, should be provided
until such time as an elimination, with
out undue burden, can be accomplished.
WIXTOSS TO BE TJXCHAXGED
Company, However, Reserves Right
to Advance Prices.
The Winton 33 at $2485 and the 48
at $3500 will be continued in 1917 with
out change.
"We reserve the right," says General
Manager Churchill, "to increase the
price of either or both models without
notice, and we may be forced to an
nounce an increase at any hour. But
that is the only change we contemplate.
"The plan of bringing out new mod
els annually has been discarded by
the manufacturers of hall-marked cars.
It is no lqnger good form, so to speak.
So-called 'new' models have reached
the pointiwhere they consist chiefly of
mere changes in size, or of alterations
made to affect selling prices. Body
styles change, from time to time, and
some makers take advantage of new
bodies to announce new models, but
the Winton Company is not dependent
iinnn new models for new body lines
because our practice is to give each
buyer precisely what he meat desires
in body style, color effects, and ap:
pointments at any time. The result is
that Winton Six cars have outgrown
year-marks. Inasmuch as every Win
ton Six is individual In its appearance
the car owner himself often forgets
the vear of his car's 'birth.
"Our 48 model is now in Its tenth
vear. and our 33 is now in its third
vear. The 48 holds the world's record
no other single model the world over
has so many years of continued suc
cess to its credit. And our experience
with the 83 assures us that this desir
able model is here to stay for a long
period. It has the same qualities that
have made the 48 the most enduring
model yet produced by the automobile
Industry."
FEDERAL 5 -TON TRUCK MADE
Manufacture of Tfew Model Follows
long, Severe Tests.
M. I Pulcher. vice-president and
general manager of the Federal Motor
Truck Company of Detroit, announces
that a new iive-ton model Is now being
manufactured by the Federal Company.
Previous to adding this five-ton model
to it3 line of trucks, Fedenal officials
thoroughly tested out the new truck,
and It was driven thousands of miles
up severe grades and over all sorts of
roads that the test might be most thor
ough. One of the tests consisted of a trip of
1176.6. miles, the five-ton truclf being
loaded with sand, and driven from De
troit to Pittsburg, and then brought
back to Detroit over Pennsylvania. Ohio
and Michigan roads. Federal officials
decided upon this long run that the
truck might be given a thorough test
under most strenuous conditions.

the case today were he to mingle with

F. Ed Spooner, photographer, found Mr.
Durant very coy, however, when he
asked him to pose for a picture, and
promised the great financier that he
would get the picture. Snapping his
Graf lex at the car as Bill Little drove it
by Ed secured a picture showing Mr.
Durant smiling at his efforts. He en
larged the head to 700 times more than
the original and by clever artist work
evolved a picture which today appears
In practically every General Motors and
Chevrolet office and -in the branches
and agencies throughout the country,
Mrs. Durant pronounced the picture the
best Mr. Durant ever had taken.
Electric -equipment has revolution
ized the automobile industry in the
Northwest. Before the days of the
electric starter and lights, the use of
motor cars and the sale of automobiles
in Oregon and Washington stopped
with the advent of the rainy season.
Thlsis no longer the case.
Motor cars are now sold throughout
the entire year in the Northwest, as In
California, and, many automobile own
ers find the automobile of greater serv
ice during the Winter months than at
any other time of the year.
When the motorist had to get out in
front of his car and use the crank, af-
(ter lighting the lamps with a box of
matches, there was little pleasure in
Winter driving. About the only cars
seen on the Btreets of Portland and
Seattle In the rainy season then were
rent cars and taxlcabs. Now there are
as many cars seen in daily service as
Curing the Summer months.
There were more cars sold In Oregon
during the month of October than ever
btiore and it is claimed that there may
oe even more sales registered during
November. This condition is due
largely to the perfection of the electric
starter and lights.
Evan the woman motorist of the
North-. est drives throughout the Win
ter now. She uses her car for shop
ping and in keeping up her social du
ties during the Winter, where hereto
fore she stayed at home.
The development of paved highways
throughout the cities as well as through
the suburban districts has played a
great part in the popularizing of Win
ter motoring in the Northwest ala.
Mrs. Arthur Kimbrell, of this city, who
drives a little Chevrolet "Four Ninety"
touring car, thinks nothing of driving
out in the face of the heaviest rains.
She says it is an easy matter to step
into tier car behind the shelter of side
curtains and drive away, with no more
effort than the pressing of the starting,
button.
One thing that attracts the attention
of the visitor in Portland is the ease
with which both men and women nego
tiate the paved streets in wet weather.
There are very few accidents from
skidding.

Improvement In Eight Selected
Counties In Different Sections
Shows Savins In Ilaulazc
WASHINGTON. Jan. 13. Improvement
of roads in eight selected counties In
different sections of the United States
resulted in the aggregate In a total
gross annual saving in hauling costs
of 3627.409, according to recent eco
nomic studies made by the office of
public roads and rural engineering of
the United States Department of Agri
culture. The cost of haulage for the
group of counties Is lower since the
roads were improved. It was found
even when charges are made in the
comparative computations for Interest
on bonds and annual maintenance costs.
The results of the studies, which ex
tended from 1909 to 1916, and which In
cluded other effects of improved high
ways than those on traffic, are shown
in Department of Agriculture Bulletin
83, recently published. ,
The eight counties In which the
studies were made are Spottsylvania.
Dinwiddle, Lee and Wise counties, Va.
Franklin County, N. Y., Dallas County,
Ala.; Lauderdale County, Miss., and
Manatee County, Fla. These counties
were selected because they had Jus
issued bonds for road Improvement
when It was decided to make the
studleSand it would therefore be pos
sible to cover the road Improvements
from outset to completion.
The average gross annual saving In
hauling costs drue to the road Improve
ments in these eight counties was found
to be 17.9 cents per ton-mile, while the
net saving was found to be 11.6 cents:
The investigators point out in the bul
letin that an actual cash saving to
the amount indioated is not effected,
but that this is the indicated saying
when the time of workers and use of
draft animals and equipment are .given
cash values at the rates prevailing in
the several communities.

Rumors which have existed that
Hugh Chalmers had disposed of most
of his holdings in the Chalmera Motor

as president and withdraw from the
company have been most emphatically
denied by Mr. Chalmers. It was only
recently that Mr. Chalmers became
aware of tho extent of these reports,
and he stated positively that he had
not only retained all holdings in the
company, but had increased them.
"We are preparing." said Mr. Chal

history of our company, and have Just
closed a record-breaking year. We are
now employing 5500 men at the factory
In Detroit and are giving employment

NEW YORK SHOW OPENS
ARRAY OK NEW AUTOMOBILES IS
WONDERFUL,
Display at Grand Central Palace la
Most Comprehensive Exposition
of Cars Ever Arranged.
NEW YORK, Jan. 13 (Special.)
With a wondrous array of new models,
the latest offerings of America's lead
ing engineers and designers, in great
numbers, variety of makes and body
styles and supported by a most spec
tacular decorative scheme, the. 17th an
nual New York automobile show was
In session this week at Grand Central
Palace. It was the most comprehen
sive motor exposition and most repre
sentative of the industry ever held in
this country, or abroad.
Trade circles were buzzing "with
gossip about some very original and
interesting surprises that were to be
uncovered with the opening of the
show. After the air of secrecy about
the various exhibits had been lifted and
the public permitted to gaze upon the
beautiful creations of the master-builders,
it was apparent that the Stude
baker "Gold Car" was to be one of the
sensations of the show. Thousands of
people crowded around the Studebaker
exhibit from the opening of the show
until closing time.
The Studebaker "Gold Car" is the
most expensive motorcar ever built in
the history of the industry. It is an
evolution of the famous gold chassis of
a year ago, yet even more wonderful
and magnificent. It Is &. series 18
Studebaker six-cylinder, seven-passenger
touring car. with the distinctive
Victoria top in place, finished through
out in glistening white enamel and
gold. Over 400 ounces of 24-carat gold,
it is stated, were used in finishing this
gold car and as It stands at the 6how
it is valued at $30,000.
Practical Test Best Seller.
"It isn't stunts that sell automobiles."
says A. S. Robinson, of the Klssel-Kar
branch.
"Sensational speed performances and
the like are Interesting sporting events,
but the majority of people who buy
cars rely on more practical tests.
"A car that will go as fast as average
people desire to go over average roads
fills the bill, providing it be built of
sturdy steels, well knit, is easy to op
erate, economical to maintain and
backed by responsible makers. Buyers
nowadays scrutinize guarantors more
carefully than guarantees. They want
to know the experience and responsi
bility of the men behind tho warrant
and wisely so."
