THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND. JUXE 24, 1917.
BULLETINS ON ROAD
CONDITIONS GIVEN
Special Service for Motorists
Inaugurated by The Ore
gonian Today.
ENTIRE STATE COVERED
Condensed Reports From Corre
spondents Will Give Frank and
Unbiased Information Co
operation Is Invited.
In recognition of the tremendous de
mand for accurate. Impartial informa
tion on road conditions in all parts of
the state and In neighboring1 districts.
The Oreg-onian inaugurates today a
new department' feature in the form
of a condensed bulletin detailing1 read
conditions as they are reported from
all parts of the state by the regular
Oregonian correspondents.
The responsibilities of the task are
too broad for anyone to hope that the
bulletin will be entirely free from in
accuracies at all times, but constant
-effort will be exerted to make such
revisions and corrections as changes
Jn the weather and the development of
road construction and improvement
may from time to time warrant.
It will, of course, be impossible to
reflect the impressions of everyone as
'to the existing condition of this and
that roadway, for the reason that no
two motorists ever see the same road
through the same pair of goggles. Opin
ions as to road conditions vary as wide
ly as the specifications of the- various
makes of automobiles and as widely as
the dispositions of human beings. The
experienced road tourist, for instance,
doesn't expect to find a paved boule
vard through the rural districts and
consequently seldom utters a grumble
providing the roads are in fairly good
shape, weather and the turn of the cal
endar considered.
In framing their reports to be in
cluded in the Sunday road bulletin The
Oregonian correspondents will aim to
report conditions as hey impress the
fair, frand and impartial and not prej
udiced by local pride or sectional feel
Judjced by local pride or sectional feel
ing. Providing the motorists of Oregon
and the public generally will be good
enough to give the' plan their co-operation,
the road " bulletin feature can be
made exceedingly, valuable to' the mo
toring public.
When you make your next road trip
carry The Oregonian road report along
with you and if you discover any de
tail, either as to distances or road con
ditions which you believe to be inac
curate or in need of revision, your
kindness will be appreciated if you
will at once notify Chester Moores, au
tomobile editor, who will make it a
special point to be at his desk, 815
Oregonian building, between the hours
of 9 and 12 o'clock on the morning of
each week day and between 5 and 6
o'clock in the. evenings.

north of Jefferson, and then there is
a stretch of road for four miles which
very bad. There are big ruts and
chuck-holes left when the road
dried up and this makes this one
stretch hard to cover. After that
stretch is passed the roads are fairly
Tood. For three miles south of Salem
they are In almost perfect condition
and from the end of that road they are-
good for some distance and then fairly
pood until the bad stretch north of Jef
ferson is encountered. ' .
Many of the lesser traveled roads in
this section of the state are as grood or
better- than these main highways.
There are a few stretches of very bad
road but generally speaking they are
fine for this time of year. The Albany
Lebanon road"is fine now and the road
from Albany to Brownsville good. Per--haps
the -best stretch of road in Linn
County now is a portion of the Leba
non-Sweet Home road, which is part
of the road to Cascadia and other
mountain resorts on the South Santiam
River. . ..
HOOD ; EIVER HIGHWAY FIXE
Motorists Cautioned to Hare Brakes
In Good Condition.
HOOD RIVER, Or., June 23. (Spe
cial.) The Columbia River Highway
from Cascade Locks to Hood River
and thence to The Dalles, according to
recent motorists over the stretch, is
now in better condition than at any
time since the scenic route was
opened. However, the automobilist,
accustomed to city paved streets. Is
Koing to have an unpleasant experience
and certain trouble unless he makes
preparation for the journey. It must
be remembered that the stretch of
road is very narrow at many points.
It is crooked, and many steep grades
will be met.
The motorist expecting to make the
Journey from Portland all the way to
Hood River should be sure his brakes
are in the best of condition. For the
Ruthton-hlll grade he should have his
tank-well filled with gas. A gas sup
ply station is being put in at Sdnny,
just west of the Mitchell's Point grade.
By stopping there, in case your tank
is not full, will save you the trouble
of back-tracking some three miles.
Hood River Valley roads are all
good at the present time. The jour
ney to Mount Hood lodge can be made
with ease. Motorists are advised to
take the east side on the way to the
mountain, traveling into the Upper
Hood River Valley by the Neal-Creek
route. The return trip should be made
over Booth hill, thus affording one of
the finest views of the orchards. After
you have passed Tucker's bridge, across
Hood River, turn to your left at the
top of the canyon, where sign says
Portland way. Returning to Hood
River by this route will afford you
travel over some of the valley's
smoothest gravel roads through a fine
orchard and residence section.
Travelers headed west over the Co
lumbia River Highway should be
warned of the dangerous turn at the
verge of a steep precipice at the top
of Ruthton-hill grade. The road to
the very top of the grade is fine.
Drivers are tempted to go so fast that
they meet with difficulty in making
the dangerous right-angle turn. 'Watch
out at this point for warning sign.
The "White Salmon ferry charges
nave been reduced to fl per machine
each way, this rate including four oc
cupants. Last season the charge of
$1, including only the driver, was made.
ROADS ROUGH XE.V RALBAXY
Gravel IMaced on Highway in Wet
Months Well Worked In.
ALBANY. Or.. June 23. Roads gen
erally in the section of the state ad
jacent to Albany are in good condition,
iiome roads are rough in places but
wherevei1 a drag was used or other
work done they are fine.
The Albany-Corvallis road is good
practically all of the way. .
. From Albany to Harrisburg the road
is in good condition. A great deal of
work was done on this -road the iast
year. Many miles were graveled last
Winter. Linn County followed a new
stem of spreading gravel in the wet
Tvinter months so that it might be
worn down by Summer, the plan being
made possible by the establishment of
n. plant here to take gravel from the
Willamette River. ThiB plan of work
was followed extensively on the Paci
fic Highway southward from this city.
"Where this gravel was spread early
enough the roads are in fine shape.
"Where no gravel was placed the road
way is graded and was dragged in most
places and is in good shape. There are
a. few places where the road is a little
Tough but generally speaking the road
is good all of the way from Albany to
Harrisburg.
Between Albany and Salem the road
1s good part of the way and very bad
Tor part or the distance
ROAD TO COAST EXCELLENT
Foorst Highway Is Between Port
land and McMinnvIHe.
JTMINNVILLE, Or., Juno 23. (Spe
cial.) Considering the shortage of la
bor and the unfavorable .season up to
the early part of tne month the roads
throughout Yamhill County are said to
be in excellent shape at the present
time, although the usual oiling of the
main roads has not yet been given.
Between McMinnville and Dayton the
road, fully macadamized, is fine.
From McMinnvflle to Dallas the road
is fine for the entire distance with the
exception of short stretches of dirt
roads still rough from the ruts of early
Spring.
From McMinnville to Sheridan the
road is fine except from the T-urner hill
to the city limits of Sheridan, which
portion is in process of paving by the
State Highway Commission, work hav
ing commenced thereon this week.
From Sheridan to Willamina the road
is pronounced good.
Between Willamina and Dolph it Is
said to be good. The "Sour Grass" cut
off constructed last year beyond Grand
Ronde by Yamhill and Polk counties
Jointly eliminates the toll gate, and
provides a much easier grade through
the pass than formerly. A number of
local autoists who have recently passed
over this road speak highly of its con
dition. "The worst part of the road
"between Portland and the Coast," they
declare, "is to be found from Portland
to McMinnville."
SXOW FILLS M'KEXZIE PASS
Road May Xot Be Open to Autos for
More Than Month.
EUGENE, Or.. June 23. ;(Special.)
According, to reports given out by the
United States Forest Service in Eugene
there is now ten feet of snow in the
McKenzit Pass and the road will
probably not be open to automobile
traffic for more than a month.
The McKenzie road, as far as Mc-
ECenzie bridge and the fishing grounds
in that vicinity, is in fair condition.
rough with a few mudholes. Men and
teams are at work on this road with
nrospects of greatly improving condi
tions of travel within the next 10 days
From Eugene to Thurston the road is
in excellent condition, but from Thurs
ton on to the bridge rough travel is the
rule.
Few motorists have attempted to
make the trip from Eugene to Oak-
ridge and the fishing grounds in that
vicinity. They report the road rrom
Lowell to Oak ridge very rough.
Virtually all roads in Lane County
are macadam.
Condition of other roads is reported
as follows:
Eugene to Harrisburg, via Junction
City, crossing ferry at Harrisburg.
good with exception' of -four miles of
rough road near Junction City. - -
Eugene to Harrisburg. via Coburg,
road beyond Coburg rough.
Eugene to Cottage Grove, excellent
condition, recently worked. . -
Eugene to Corvallis, via Harrisburg,
nine miles rough road near Monroe.
VALLEY ROADS BE1XG WORKED
Some Traffic Follows Hill Route Be
tween Salem and Independence.
INDEPENDENCE. Or., June 23.
(Special.) Considerable improvement
has been made in the condition of the
roads in this section of the country
during the past few weeks. Although
the traveling public complain a little
of the dusty roads, yet they, say the
roads are fairly smooth and are mak
ing good under the heavy traffic. A
great many motorists frsm the South
ern part of the state and California
have been passing this way in the
past few days.
The roads leading into Independence
from the south by -way of Albany and
Corvallis have been graded and re-
From Albany graveled in many places, making the
county south from Independence which
will do away with heavy grades pass
ing the I. O. O. F. Cemetery. It is
expected that this road will be com
pleted for Fall use. ,-.
Between Independence and i Mon
mouth there is a good gravel 'road
which needs some grading in places
to smooth it up. but is fairly good.
A .number of the visitors here have
made the side trip to the -Normal
School, which is two miles from Inde
pendence to the west Leading north
from the city of Independence In the
direction of Salem there is a hard
surface road for about two miles which
is very.. tempting to '.he motorist.. This,
passes through a very rich farming
and dairy section.'
On account of the absence of a bridge
at Salem, much of the traffic has
turned' aside from Independence and
has crossed the Willamette River by
ferry at this point and followed the
Oregon Electric line to Salem on the
Marion County side. While much work
has ' been done on that road, yet it is
is -quite passable and- shortens the dis
tance. It is a hill road.
The roads leading -south in the direc-
calla is a trifle smoother than the Pa
cific Highway, although the latter road
is in better condition than for many
years past.
Going north from Drain through
Pass Creek - Canyon the road is good.
with the exception of about three miles,
which is somewhat ' rough tin spots.
There is no mud between Roseburg and
the Lane County line, neither is there
any dust. South of Roseburg the Pa
clflc Highway is good as far as Cow
Creek Canyon, which is dry. but rough.
The -grade through the canyon is also
quite steep and the road ia narrow in
places. An ordinary machine, however,
should have no trouble in getting
through the canyon at a 15-mile-an-hour
clip. From the southern mouth
of the canyon the road is fine aa far as
Wolf-Creek' hllL'. The latter hill is
smooth, and the grade ranges aa high
as 6 per cent. Good road again greets
the traveler from 'the -base'- of'- the
Wolf-Creek hill to Grants Pass.
The old Coos Bay wagon road, ex
tending as 'far west" aa Marshfleld, is
in good condition as far as Reston, 18
miles west of Glendale. From there to
tion of Albany on the Marion County Laird, 22 miles, grades are steep and
sine are quae rougn at present, although
work is being done on them and they
will be in better -condition, in a lew
weeks,
COLUMBIA ROADS IMPROVED
Four Sliles or Planking Near Delena
Badly Broken.
RAINIER, Or.,' June 23. (Special.)
The road from St Helens to Goble is
in fair condition. " It had been rocked
last year, but is cut up some. Goble
to Rainier very rutty. Has been
dragged this year, but is not in very
good condition. The new highway road
from Rainier to Delena Schoolhouse is
partly rocked and the rest is dirt road,
but it has been dragged and is fairly
smooth. The worst place on this stretch
is a sharp double turn in town, where
tne nignway leaves the old county road'
to go onto the street leading to the
highway. Cars with long wheel-base
have difficulty in negotiating this
turn.
After leaving Delena there Is a bad
stretch of about four miles, as this is
all puncheon or planks which is badly
broken, up. The last two or three
miles into Clatskanle is pretty fair.
as the road is rocked.
the. road is rough and narrow. . The
scenery is beautiful, however, and the
trip can be made with pleasure. From
Laird to the western termination the
road is planked, and fast time can be
made
The ' Roseburg-Myrtle Point road is
in good condition, with .the exception
j of a few rough spots in the Coquille
Canyon. There are some heavy grades,
but in - most instances these . are
planked. This road is narrow in the
canyon, but turn-outs make traveling
secure. The automobile stages are now
making the trip between Roseburg and
Myrtle Point in six hours, and tourists
pronounce the scenery almost equal to
that found along the Columbia High
way. Little work is being done on
the roads at the present time, al
though a number of them will be im
proved later in the Summer.
ROADS TO SOUTH . ARE GOOD
Only Few Short Stretches Are Rough
and Being Improved.
ROSEBURG, Or., June 23. Tourists
with road experience and local garage
proprietors who have means for as
certaining the condition of the roads in
this section of the state report the
Pacific Highway in good condition be
tween Roseburg and Drain. This is
particularly true between Roseburg
and Oakland, with the exception of
short stretches, which are undergoing
Improvement . Automobilists say the

LIBERTY CONTROL IS EASY
PACIFIC HIGHWAY SPOTS POOR
Going Is Rough Between Dunsmuir
and Redding.
ASHLAND, Or.. June 23. (Special.)
Pacific Highway road conditions be
tween Dunsmuir and Redding are re
ported to be very poor in. places, par
ticularly in the canyons, where the
grades are in places steep and the road
narrow and rough, owing to late dry
ing out. Construction work is under
way in Shasta County. Tourists re
port conditions worst between San
Francisco and Ashland.
Pacific Highway from Dunsmuir to
Hornbrook is good with no bad place
except one short stretch just north of
Dunsmuir, where construction work has
made heavy going but no serious. ob

Clutch Responds to Lightest Pres

Can Be . Manipulated
wfth Two Fingers.
To say that E.' A. Mitchell and WTH.
Walllngford. partners in the newly
formed company that is to handle the
Premier and Liberty motor cars in this
territory, are pleased with the new
models of those cars, both of whlcn
arrived in Portland a few days ago.
would be stating, the facts lightly.
They are delighted as respects appear
ance, performance and general makeup.
The new Premier, famed as the
"aluminum six with the magnetic gear
shift," is striking In its originality and
its freshness of design. It is described
as having "bullet" lines, with a "V
type radiator and a Hush-Hinged hood
at the front of the car. The upper
construction of the hood is a Premier
creation and the top center panel is
covered by patents pending.
Car Is Llsrht One.
The motor is of aluminum, which
insures lightness. Officials of the
Premier factory assert that the gen
eral use of aluminum both in the mo- I
tor and in the transmission construe- I
tion effected a saving of 250 pounds in
weight.
In place of the hand lever used to
ens-nce 1 h thmfl fnrwnr4 And reverse
bpeed gears-, the - Premier is equipped
with the C-H magnetic gear shift man
ufactured and guaranteed by the Cut
ler-Hammer Manufacturing Company,
the world's largest manufacturers of
electrical controlling apparatus.
In design and operation this gear
shift is simplicity itself. A, switchbox.
which pre- selects the gear to be used,
is located on the steering post. The
speed having been selected, the clutch
is depressed -to. its maximum. This en
gages a switch which energizes the
solenoid controlling the desired gear.
The change is made instantly one
eighth of a second, to be exact. No ef
fort is required, no stooping, no lifting-
the eye from the road, and there is no
perceptible loss of momentum.
Liberty Graceful Car.
'The popularity of the Iberty car In
the sections in which it has been rep
resented is said to rest on the unusual
character of the car Itself, on points
which differentiate It from other cars.
It is a remarkably graceful car. with a
strong foreign influence In its long, low
lines, and; although it is a car of mod
erate size 115-inch wheel base its
general appearance ' of stability and
power is that usually associated only
with very much larger cars.
"When you sit comfortably In the
deep Liberty driving seat you And. no
matter what your size 100-pound
woman ox 200-pound man that all
controls are within easy reach," re
marked E. A. Mitchell as he guided
one of the new cars up Alder street to
his store the other day.
"The weight of your foot alone Is
almost sufficient to depress the clutch
pedal. To motorists who have expe
rienced the disagreeable fatigue inci
dent upon pushing out the averts
clutch the Liberty clutch is a revela
tion apparently that clutch needs
about a four-pound pressure, as against
the 40 they are used to.
. Easy Control Makes for Comfort.
"The ease of operation of this most
used of all controls means infinitely
greater-comfort and much less fatigue
in a day's motoring. As your foot lifts
this clutch, apparently so gentle, en
gages at a pressure of over a ton.
It is an easily operated, never fall
ing clutch. It engages smoothly but
surely. '
"At your right hand, within easy
reach, is the gear shift lever. The" gear
shift lever is manipulated with two
Angers. The unusual ease with which
this lever may be operated makes Lib
erty driving a real pleasure. You don't
have to tug and strain to change
speeds. The operation of the gear
shift is smooth, silent, with a sure,
rhythmic, easy motion, quickly becom
ing instinctive, the very antithesis of
effort."

NEW TRACTOR PIT ON MARKET
Smith Slotor Truck Company Aids
in War Preparation.
Through Its new tractor recently
placed upon the market, the Smith
Motor Truck Corporation Is doing- Its
share to aid the Nation In properly pre
paring for a long, vigorous war.
This machine which is an attachment
that can be fitted to Fords, or other
similar makes of machines, is adaptable
either to small or large farms, and en
ables farm owners to accomplish far
more than is possible by the old horse
drawn implements.
By attaching the tractor to the plow,
cultivator or other piece of farm ma
chinery, the farmer is able to cover his
acres much quicker and to dispense with
men and animals. In so doing, he re
leases his former hired help Into other
lines of Industry, and thus aids in the
increasing of his Nation's production.
By cutting down his working hours,
the farmer who owns a tractor should
be able to aid his neighbor who is
plowing or harrowing.
. Assistant Secretary, of, . Agriculture
Carl Vrooman has Issued a Nation-wide
appeal to tractor owners, asking them
to make their outfits work from dawn
until dark: if necessary, to make them
work at night. If there are enough to
fill the shift.
"Don't let one acre, which otherwise
might not be planted," go untitled, is
Vrooman's Injunction. "Help your neigh
bors and do your part In strengthening
the lines of the allies in Europe."
