Automobllbit Findn Rural Owners
of Cars Have more Sympathy
Than Those Who Still Drive
"Dobbin" DlMcovery Resnlts la
Reward for Vancouver Woman.
?
VANCOUVER, Wash.. April 10.
Special.) Farmers owning cars
have much more sympathy with auto
mobilists than those who don't. At
least this was evidenced Thursday on
the Camas-Vancouver road. A work
man in a small machine had no chains.
and when he attempted to climb over
a steep, slippery hill slid Into a ditch
at one side and could not get out.
He went to the nearest farmhouse.
where he stated his case to the farm
er's wife, who haughtily replied, "You
automobillsts think you are the whole
thing. Get out the best way you can."
Nor would she even for money permit
the use of the team on the place.
He went to the next house, and the
woman said her husband was away,
but that the team was in the barn and
that he could use the horses. He did
and pulled the machine back on the
road and returned the horses to their
stalls.. Then he went to the house
and asked the woman how much he
owed her. She would not accept pay
and added that" she and her husband
owned a machine and that they them
selves sometimes got stuck, so she
sympathized with others in trouble.
The man thanked her. Today he
was passing the farm and presented
the woman with a beautiful enlarged
photograph of General Pershing,
taken when he was at Vancouver bar
racks January 18. She had had a son
in France and was delighted with
the gift.

CHURCH TO RIVAL MOVIES
Films to Be Used to Teach Lesson
and Draw Crowd From Theaters.
THE DALLES, Or.. April 10. (Spe
dial.) The Methodist church of this
city tomorrow night at the regular
service hour will compete with the
theaters for support of the public.
A motion, picture machine will be in
full operation and two films will be
shown. Between the films a 20'
minute sermon will be sandwiched.
The effort constitutes an innova
tion in church circles of eastern Ore
gon. Back of it all Is the belief
of Rev. W. H. H. Forsyth that the
motion picture is a clarifying and
emphasizing agency not to be scorned
He proposed to turn the motion pic
ture appeal for good to account. The
films to be shown at the church will
all be of an uplifting nature and
most of them will .depict a religious
story.

A 30 FOOT CHANNEL TO THE SEA
Portland's Waterway to
. Ocean Commerce
THE PORTS OF PORTLAND AND ASTORIA NOW POSSESS THE DEEP
EST HARBOR ENTRANCE ON THE PACIFIC COAST. American engi
neering . has completely overcome the unsatisfactory channel conditions
formerly existing at the entrance to these harbors. The Columbia river
barso. widely, advertised by rival ports has been overcome by the con
struction of two great rock Jetties.
TpHESE GREAT WALLS, respectively seven and one-half and two and one
'half miles in length, constructed by the 'federal government at a cost
exceeding 316.000,000, confine the discharge of the Columbia river, and thus
create a harbor entrance of forty-two feet mean water depth. Natural
scouring of the river bottom, increased by the Jetty construction, is con
stantly producing a . greater depth, with the result that a fifty-foot low
water' entrance may be expected within five or six years.
rpHB APPROACH AND VICINITY OF THE ENTRANCE CHANNEL are
.shpwn by a detailed coast survey chart-to be free 'from sunken rocks,
or other hidden obstructions. Their absence, connected with the uniform
slope of the ocean bed, creates a very accessible entrance, permitting vessels
to stand close in when seeking to enter the river. Less fog exists at the
mouth of. the Columbia river than at any other port entrance on the Pacific
coast. Fog statistics for the past ten years show an average yearly fog
of 'but' 695 hours at the entrance to the Columbia river, whereas San
Francisco. averages 1591 hours and Puget sound 1306 hours.
FROM .PORTLAND TO THE SEA there exists a channel with minimum
depth of thirty feet mean lower low water. This channel represents
. the, Jruita of permanent dike construction and dredging completed some
years ago. The dredged portions of the channel have a minimum width
. of .300 .feet, and.UR Xo .600 feet where cuts are located in the bend of the
river and where other conditions -require a wider channel. Great stretches
. of deeper water between cuts afford frequent and adequate anchorage
places where vessels may swing with the tide, without interference to
navigation.
THE FOLLOWING TABLE shows channelconditions of the Oregon ports
equal the great inland ports of the United States:

Because they never deflate when punctured
T matters not if a nail tears through a casing and pierces a Bonner
Inner Tube while you are on a pleasure cruise. You probably will
not know that vou have sustained a puncture. You will not have to
stop and change tires, soil clothes, and rob yourself of the joy of the trip
because the Bonner 1 ube will maintain tne
same air pressure, puncture or no punc
ture! Sounds phenomenal, doesn t ltr
Filled With Air Only No Filler No Gum Compound
The scientific self sealing principle of the
Bonner is the secret of it alL Bonner Tubes
are thickest where other tubes are thinnest.
The cross section shows the crescent-shaped .
tread two-and-one-half times thicker than
the ordinary good tube. This portion, in
which is embedded a strip of non-stretchable
fabric, is so constructed as to be constantly
under compression. When punctured it grips
the nail tightly and prevents air ' leakage.
If the nail is withdrawn,, the rubber, under
compression, "squeezes itself together, com
pletely sealing the hole.
