THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, - MAY 2?, 1917. TRIP IS 442 MS RECENTLY APPOINTED ASSISTANT MANAGER IN PACIFIC COAST DISTRICT FOR WILLYS-OVERLAND COMPANY, WILL BE IN PORTLAND SOON. H. H. Cloutier and Kenneth D. Hauser Make Quick Run. ROADS ARE REPORTED GOOD Start Made at Port Angeles and Seattle Is Visited Before Pair Turn. Portland ward Kun- nlng Time Is 22 Hours. II. H. Cloutier, manager of the Mult nomah Hotel, and Kenneth D. Hauser, who 1b awaiting his commission In the Engineers Reserve Corps, had a de lightful automobile trip from Port Angeles, Wash., to Seattle and from Se attle to Portland, covering In all 442 niles In .22 hours' actual running time. Considering the condition of the roads this time was remarkable. The trip Jwas made in Mr. Hauser's big 1915 rwinton touring car, weighing 4800 pounds, and it came through the entire trip without the use of chains. Owing to the condition of the roads en the Olympic Peninsula they made the trip by way of Port Townsend and Chlmacum, encountering no difficulty by this route. The trip through the Jthododendron country and Hoods Canal district on the Olympic Peninsula Is one well worth taking, and as the roads are Improving steadily this trip can be recommended to any automobile tourists, say the Portlanders. Although unnecessary, the party drove from Olympia to Seattle and then made the Journey straight back from Seattle to Portland in ten hours. The road is torn up and under con struction in several places between Seattle and Tacoma, but on the whole, from Seattle to Kelso the road was very much better than they had ex pected. Poor Stretches Encountered. The only two really mean stretches of road encountered on the whole trio were right near Kalama and near La Center. The La Center stretch could have been avoided by taking the ferry from alaraa to Goble. but as this party of adventurous tourists did not leave Beattle until Monday noon, and insisted on losing four hours visiting in Ta coma and Olympia, they did not arrive at Kalama until 11 o'clock at night, so were unable to get ferried across at that hour. Undaunted, and although warned or the bad stretch at La Center. they came right on by way of the new .interstate bridge at Vancouver and arrived at the Multnomah Hotel at 2:30 A- M. Tuesday. They were loud in their praises of the way the big Winton car negotiated the roads in this time, and' the engine was running sweetly when the party tied up at the Multnomah Hotel garage lor ine morning. For the benefit of any tourists wish ing io inane xnis trip, ana as many roaa maps are available, it is not nec essary to give details other than to name the towns through which tour ists should be sure to pass. Eitker- Rnte Kot Difficult. - There were several routes recom mended to the party, but they Anally disregarded many recommendations and came from Chehalis via Winlock. Vader, the Olequa ferry. Kelso and Kalama. They would recommend the ferry from Kalama to Goble. but no real difficulties will be encountered by eitner route, xtiey were agreeably sur prised by finding the roads near Kelso Very good. The Winton car used on this trip is a special six-passenger body touring car which Mr. Hauser has driven from Port land to Tia Juana, Mexico, and back , through to Campbell River, British Co lumbia, which Is as far north on Van couver Island as an automobile can go. - This particular trip was made on the Coast Highway throughout. The object of the trip Just computed was threefold; primarily to close up ttie construction work which Mr. Hau ser has been handling at Port Angeles. and must now relinquish on account of going with the engineers' regiment to Prance: second, to get in touch with come of Grant Smith Sc. Co.'s construc tion employes with a view to recruit ing them for said regiment, and last. but not least, to drive back Mr. Hauser's Winton, which he had left in Port Angeles, and to ascertain the exact con dition of the roads and desirable routes first-hand for the general information of other tourists and patrons of the Multnomah Hotel.

BONDS CAN BOY GAR Cole Dealers Notified to Ac cept Issue Above Par, EACH $50 IS WORTH $51 Unique Plan Adopted by Company to Help Float War Loan New Arrangement Indorsed by Many Bankers. To assisting Secretary McAdoo and the United States Government in fi nancing the liberty loan bonds and puttting them into immediate circula tion, the Cole Motor Car Company an nounced through the Indianapolis, Ind., headquarters last Wednesday that the holders of liberty loan bonds will have the purchasing value of J102 for every 1100 in bonds. If a prospect, for a Cole wants to purchase one and he has liberty loan bonds each $50 bond will be taken at the rate of $51, or a $1000 worth of bonds will go for- $1020 in trade at the Cole Company. The Cole liberty loan plans have met with hearty approval of all the Government officials, say the Eastern representatives of the company. It has been Indorsed by many of the most prominent bankers In New York City. It is said that a market value of $102 for every $100 in G6vernment bonds is a unique thing in financing war loans. The Cole liberty loan plans went into operation last Wednesday, and it will not be long before Fred W. Vogler ex pects to take In some of the bonds through the Portland branch of the company. The salesrooms of the Cole Company all over the United States have been notified to accept all the bonds possible, in part or full payment for a- Cole product. . An added interest plan is provided by the company in that it will allow the purchasers to redeem their bonds. - I Eastern Railroads. Traveling shows of 1917 may be forced to go back to the old days of horse-drawn wagon equipment, with their long trips at night over rough country roads, if all the railroads of the country follow the example of a large Eastern railroad, which has prac tically declared an embargo against outdoor amusement enterprises. One circus already has been compelled to travel by boat on trips between New England coast towns. Because of these unsettled railroad conditions the motor-truck industry and the amusement world is watching with intense interest the launching of the united estates circus Corporation's enterprise. It will be motorized throughout, using 100 Keily-Springf ield trucks and 75 Troy trailers, mounted on Firestone Giant tires exclusively, to transport its paraphernalia, animals and employes from town to town. The show is now being mobilised in Cin cinnati. It will take the road early in June, traveling northward through Central Onlo, according to a recent an nouncement made by Frank P. Spell- man, president or the corporation. Besides their usefulness as trans ports, the trucks will enable the cir cus to present an unusually beautiful and imposing pageant. One of the fea tures will be a score of the big truck chassis mounted by huge hand-carved bodies representing "the nations of the world," except Germany. LITTLE ELK OWNER OF ELGIN Michigan Man, 4 Feet Tall, Has Driver's Seat Changed. C. W. Dierdorf, of Grand Ranlds. Mich.,- Who la known as the world's smallest member of the Elks, has Just purchased an Elgin Six from the Elgin distributor for his city. In altitude Mr. Dierdorf extends but four feet into space. Although from the shoulders down he is not as big as most people, yet from his neck up It's a different proposition . This little man owns a larg cigar factory in Grand Rapids, and is recognized as on of the city's keenest business men. He is known among tobacco manufacturers throughout ths entire country. Mr. Dierdorf expects to tour exten sively this Summer in his new Elgin. Of course it has been necessary to re model the driver's seat in order to fit this little mnn's proportions. According to Mr. Dierdorf he selected the Elgin because of the ease with which it is operated. New Car Owners in County. THE dally reports of M. O.

The Economical Grant Six Is The Car Of The Hour THE most significant development of the past year or two has been the amazing increase in the demand for light, sturdy, economical cars like the Grant Six. This demand will continue to grow. The buyer of today is seeking efficiency and he is getting it in tho Grant Six. . Economy, dependability and minimum depreciation are now the test of motor car value and all of these are highest in the Grant. The Grant Six averages 20 miles to a gallon of gasoline and 900 miles to a gallon of oil. On standard tires 6000 miles or more is the usual experience. The sturdiness and reliability of the Grant Six are evidenced by thfl low average of repair charge and the high value of used cars. An investigation of the used car values of Grant Sixes in the leadirfg centers will snow that they average higher than those of any other car in the same price class. First year depreciation on the Grant Six is only 20 to 259fc as against 40 or more onjiigher priced cars. There is no water in the Grant Six price. It represents real automobile value made possible by foresighted purchase contracts and the most efficient, up-to-date factory in the industry. And there is nothing lacking in the car. In appearance, in comfort,' in every detail of equipment it is satisfactorily complete. Comparison reveals this instantly. Prevailing conditions and the certainty of continued high" prices for materials, labor, oil, gasoline and tires make the purchase of a Grant Six a real investment. MANLEY AUTO CO.
