began here Thursday, dosed tonight.
More tran 60 varieties of motor
ehicles were shown in Happy Canyon
pavilion. The hall, though eaid to be
the largest In the Inland Empire to be
used for such a purpose, was crowded
for display space so great was the
assortment of cars. Trucks and tract
ors were placed outside in the arena
under canvas.
Pendleton has long been noted for
the number and high class of its auto
mobiles, and the show was representa
tive of that condition and the pro
gressive character of Its dealers in
motor cara and allied lines. Interest
In the show was keen.
It is said that the number of cars
used In and about the city is as high
In percentage of population as any
aimiJar section of the northwest, and
the attendance at the exhibition today
would seem to eonfilrm that statement.
The Essex. Stanley steamer and Lex
Ington, new cars for Pendleton, at
tracted wide interest
The machines displayed ranged from
the light Ford to larger cars such as
the I'eertess and Harmon. The arena,
where the trucks and tractors were
ahown. was brilliantly lighted. Ten
accessory houses were represented with
exhibits in the pavilion.
Concerts afternoon and evening were
on the dally entertainment programme.
The show closed this evening with
frolic that awakened memories of
Koundup days. As a final windup for
the year's motor event a "jitney" dance
is planned in the pavilion for the even
ing of St. Patrick s day. Monday.
So pronounced was the success of the
show that it has been dofinitely decided
to make it an annual event. The Pen
dleton Automobile association, which
staged the show, has purchased all the
ciecorations for use at later lates.
The officers of the association are:

ALBANY TO HOLD MOTOR SHOW
NOTHING but its downright good
ness can account for the actual
affection that Liberty owners feel foxv
their cars.
Their preference begins to assert itself
tha moment it dawns on them what a
distinct difference there is in the way
the Liberty rides and drives.
They are attracted' at the outset by its
sheer physical beauty.
But as they ride, they instinctively feel
there is a quality to this difference in
the Liberty which stamps it as superior.
In the first few minutes of driving their
feeling that the Liberty must be an un
usual car becomes positive conviction.
And this appreciation invariably thrives
as the miles multiply, into an ever
growing pride in Liberty performance
and ownership.

never in his business experience has he
found euch favorable prospects for the
future. Mr. Jewett was accompanied
by Charles E. Harris, factory repre
sentativc.
The manufacturer Is making- an ex

mobiles Is unprecedented, he declared

"There Is no need for apprehension
relative to the reduction In the prices
of automobiles for at least one year."
ho oaid. "because of the high cost of
materials and Increased cost of labor.
Skilled men are worthy of proper
recognition in the matter of remunera
tion for their services, the visitor said,
and he predicted that if such an atti
tude Is manifested toward the laborer,
conditions soon will assume their nor
mal status.
Mr. Jewett is Identified with some of
the big coal mining interesis of the
central states and Is enthusiastic re
garding the development of the mer
chant marine. He says that for the
I nlted States to enjoy Jhe highest de
cree cf prosperity, forelsrn trade must
be given due consideration and that
we must not depend entirely upon
other countries to supply us with ships.
He eaid he was much impressed with
the Dosslbillty of I'ortland developing
an extensive trade with the orient and
helieuM that the business men of this
city fully appreciated what this would
ean to the pacific toast.
"Success in the manufacture of pas
senger cars is due to two things." said
Mr. Jewett. "First, the appearance,
and second, the durability, and these
factors have always been uppermost

Easterners Are Attracted.
"The man In the east who has en

also heard so much about the prize
winning 'contented cows' that he is

Is conservatively reasonable to assume
that no less than 43.000 tourists cars
will visit this section this year, and,
with a conservative average of three
persons in each, it means that 135.000
will visit us. and. providing they
spend $3 a day apiece, which also is
a conservative figure, they will leave
more than $400,000 in 'loose change

ant fact, too, in conjunction with the
automobile tourist business is that It
Increases by leaps and bounds once it
gets a good start, and our constantly

thing imaginable for the bringing

Highway Funds Voted.
To make the Pacific northwest the
mecca of America for tourists Oregon j
supplemented its bond issue of twoj
years ago of 16.000,000 for better roads
with a f 10.000.000 issue during the
recent session of the legislature.
Montana is also doing its bit .with a
$3,000,000 expenditure for the coming
months, while the forestry depart
ment and the state of Washington will
expend no less than $10,000,000 a year
over a building period of ten years, so
that every main line highway in the
Evergreen state will eventually be
hard surfaced and well kept.
"A motor trip over the roads and
highways of our wonderful northwest
country will live long In the mind of
the visiting- motorist. A Journey
through our region is a Joy for all
forever, and Its fame will be scattered
broadside by the many thousands of
tourists that will visit us this season.
