Newspaper Page Text9 LONG HIGHWAY AIM You Have Power to Spare in the Interstate Evergreen Route Is Being Promoted. $875 PROJECT DECLARED NEEDED GgANTSK ajsassMHSBBBBBBBMs' laaJpaMaaHHMaan ssssbssssssssbssbssss1 Roadway From Vancouver, B. C, to El Paso, Tex., Proposed Larg est Cities, and Most Scenlo Districts to Bo Connected. SEATTLE. June 2. (Special.) The executive committee of the Interstate Evergreen Hiar'nwav Association has proposed the exteualon of the highway as to run from Vancouver. B. C. to the Mexican border at El Paso. Texas, a distance of 2800 miles. The. route, will be from Vancouver south over the Pacific Highway to the Columbia River, thence east with the north bank ef the Columbia and over the Bnake River plateau to Lewiston. Idaho; thence througrh the Snake River can yon, partly on the Oreeron and partly on the Idaho side, to Welser; thence by way of Boise. Twin Kails. Oprden, Halt Lake City, the Grand Canyon, Prts ott. Phoenix, Tucson, Bisbee and Xouirlas. to El Paso. The advocates of this route are Im pressed with its paramount utility In military mobilization because of its two commanding; advantages in that, first. It connects the Pacific Coast and both National boundaries with the food-producing- interior, and. second, it Is the only route into the Pacifio North west over which motor trucks could be operated every day in the year. It fol lows water (trades. It connects In one ohaln the cities of the United States blessed with the least annual rainfall and the largest percentage of possible sunshine. Throughout its entire length elim&tlo conditions, soli formations and contours are such as to eliminate trou fcies from mud. All-Year Auto Road Valuable. The highway will also serve local divisions as a utility road, usable ths year round: in some states breaking the bonds of Isolation which have ham pered maximum industrial develop ment, as in the counties of Wallowa and Baker, in Oregon, and some of the counties of Southern Utah not served by a railroad; in other states, as in "Washington and Idaho, supplying a long-hoped-for means of uninterrupt ed communication between two grand subdivisions, separated by mountain barriers. To Southwestern Idaho and Northeastern Oregon the construction of an oJl-year auto road is an enter prise promising more beneficent re sults, perhaps, than the coming of a railroad from south to north. As a Bummer tourist route the Ever green Highway offers attractions legion In number; the Indescribable outdoor wonders, beauties and pleas ures of the evergreen North Pacifio Coast, with its Summer temperature ranging In extremes between 70 and 80 degrees of 19 hours' sunlight; la clers, mountain peaks, lakes, beaches, white-topped peaks releasing waters that a-ive life, wealth and beauty to the world-famed valleys of the Yaki ma, Hood, White Salmon, Willamette. Puyallup and Walla Walla. In Idaho and Eastern Oregon the Jakes and woods of Wallowa County, Lake Pay ette, the canyon of the Snake River, rivaling in grandeur the Orand Can yon of the Colorado Shoshone Falls, Niagara of the West, the City of Rocks, Ice caves and lost rivers. Excursion la Planned. The association Is preparing to send a ipath-f inding automobile excursion over the whole route this Summer. The cars for the trip and a mechanician are to be provided through the cour tesy of tho Studebaker Corporation; the equipment of the Goodrich Rubber Company. In the party will be a repre sentative of the Automobile Blue Book, who will make a log of the route; a press correspondent; one of the best known platform entertainers of the Pacifio Northwest; B. F. Hill, of Walla Walla, Wash., president, and A. J. El rod, of Pasco, Wash., secretary of the association; I. N. Howell, Secretary of Btate of Washington, will accompany the caravan for at least a large part of Its Itinerary, and the Highway Com missioner of each state intersected is expected to conduct the party through liis state. - OHD Q III ess s j - nun o j goB s . so n h - BBH L!

No wonder the GRANT SIX averages 20 miles to a gallon of gasoline and 900 miles or more to a gallon of oil. No wonder that 7000 miles or more are obtained from standard tires. With the light weight, high powered Grant Six, yon can climb hU and pull through sand and mud which would stall many other cars. The sturdy Grant Srx is built to last. In every part of the country the Grant Srx has made a name for itself as a car of utmost dependability and continuous service. When you pay $875 for the Grant Six you boy as much of service and performance as you get in any car up to $1000 to $1100.

June 2. (SDe ciaL -Motorists who have traversed the upper end of tho Columbia River Highway between this city and Cascade Locks during tho past several days report the road in fair condition. The Highway has been worked extensively by Hood River county supervisors, in co-operation with the county court. The surface has been dragged and debris and loose stones brought down by last winter s storms nave been re moved. Extensive Improvement has also been done on the east extension of the road in this county between Hood River and The JDalles. Both the stretches east and west of Hood River are in much better shape than last year, author!' ties declare. Motorists by the hundreds are using the Highway daily. The local streams and campsites in mountain retreats as well as the resorts of the valley are attracting many. Why a Seven Passenger? Comfort comes first in your mind. Compared car with car you'll find that the seven-passenger appeals to you more and more. But many are buying club roadsters to eliminate some of the weight of the more comfortable car. Then ask those who are driving seven-passenger Mar mons. In commonsense ways like these you can learn the reasons for ftlarmon 34 leadership this year. If you are a buyer of a top-class car and know these facts you won't be satisfied with less than the seven-passenger Marmon gives. Ask those whom you know (or get the names from us) how. many miles per gallon this long, powerful car is averaging. Ask them the mileage their tires give. And compare their figures with the mileage secured from the same kind of tires on other cars of this class. Ask them about the conveni ence of having but four, grease cups on the entire car. Men are finding these compar isons surprising. Many authori ties last year would not have be lieved it possible to build a car of this size and power that would run at so low an expense. But the Marmon 34 has come and broken through the accepted limitations. Notwithstanding its long wheelbase of 136 inches and its 74 brake test horsepower, the Marmon weighs 1100 pounds less than comparable cars." Its scientific construction and the extensive use of aluminum have now taught men to expect more attractions in a Luxury car with less expense in operation, just as modern steel trains are stronger, safer and more luxuri ous and efficient than old-time wood trains. Modern men who want the modern comfort car either own the Marmon 34 or will, we be lieve, investigate it. i Northwest Auto Co. Factory Distributors, Broadway at Couch St., Portland, Or. F. W.

Total Consumption In Valtea Stntes fcr Draft Horses Alone In Eetlnanteel at 202,000,000 Bushels. "If motor trucks and tractors were entrusted with tho work now being done by horses, one great stroke In the desired conservation of food would be accomplished,- said A. S. Robinson, of the KlsselKar branch. "Eighteen quarts of oat Is the aver age dally consumption of a work horse during the open season. At least 17.000.000 of the 26.000,000 horses in this country come under that classi fication. During the Winter six quarts a day Is sufficient for each. This means lit bushels of oats per horse per year, or a total of 2.292,000,000 bushels. This, without taking into ac count the S, 000, 000 horse population not included in the work-horse class.
