Special enu-rtainment features which will make each day at the 13th annual automobile show distinctive :.i)d of unusual interest to automobile men and the general public alike are uromised, according to the tentative how programme which wu worked out by the board of directors at ses sions held during- the past week. The annual show, which promises to bo on a par with any like event ever held In Portland, will occur January 2 to 28, inclusive. In the municipal audi torium. The Automobile Dealers' as sociation of Portland, compr'sin&r In its membership all of the leading; automobile dealers and distributors of the city. Is again in charge, and the board of directors of the dealers' association Is in direct control of the t Ig event. Far more than merely a display of automobiles Is promised 'for the bl- show this year, and one visit to the event will not exhaust It for the spec tator by long odds. The event will be on such a big scale and so man) different features are planned that a visit each day will find little repe tition, and many automobile fans ara expected to take in the big event every day. Monday will be opening day. ac cording to the programme, and Mon day afternoon and evening large crowds are expected to visit the show and set their first glimpse of the new cars and of the handsome Interior of the auditorium, as it will be decorated for the fiesta. Monday evening th members of the Automobile Dealers association will be hosts to guests .expected to number several thousand. large number of invitations, ac companied by special guest admission cards, have been sent out by dealers lo their friends and others Interested In their particular makes of cars, and during Mondcy evening these special guests will be welcomed by the auto mobile men and will be personally - conducted through the various booths. Wednesday Bis; Day. Wednesday will be a particularly big day for automobile dealers and all others associated with the auto mobile industry. A state-wide meet ing of automobile dealers has been called for that day and several hun dred men, Including dealers from alt parts of Oregon, are expected to be In attendanoe. Dealer problems and prospects for the comins year will ke discussed. On Wednesday evening will occur a big banquet for the auto mobile dealers, at which the dealers from outside of Portland will bo the guests of the local dealers. In view of these plans Wednesday has been designated as. "State day." and spe cial efforts will be made to enter tain all visitors from outside the city whether engaged in the automobile business or not. In this connection It Is announced that the railroads will have rates of fare and one-half round trip, effective for those coming to Portland for the ho. The rates will be in force January 20 to 26. with the return limit set at February 1. When buy ing the ticket the visitor to the show should tell his ticket agent that he Is coming to the automobile show at - Portland and the agent will give him a one-way ticket and a certificate. Upon arrival at the automobile show In Portland the visitor should tun. over his certificate to a validating clerk who will be on duty at the automobile show, and secure a return ticket at half price from him at that time. While thousands from points in Oregon, particularly on the Pacific highway, are expected to motor to Portland for the show, large num bers are also expected to come on the trains, particularly from eastern Oregon. The fact that the Columbia river highway is still blocked west of Cascade locks makes it Impos sible for motorists in the central anc eastern portions of the state to come by automobile and the fare and one half rate will be a distinct boon ts them in coming to the show. Oiil-Tlmrrs' Day Plunnrd. Thursday will be known as "Old Timers' day" at the show and wl'.l be one of the biggest days of the entire week. Many of the outside v'sitors who have been in the auto mobile business ten years or so are expected to remain over to enjoy the blunts planned for this day. The pro gramme will be under the direction of Portland members of the Old Timers' club, a national organisation com posed of men who have been in the automobile business for ten yeara or longer. A. s. Robinson and IL M. Covey are In charge and will be as sisted by the other Old Timers of the industry In Portland. A, parade at boon Thursday, with all the old auto mobile relics of the city In line, and j banquet for Old Timers in the eve jiinx are among the features planned. 1 Friday evening will be society eve ning at the show and a festive occa sion, in line with similar society eve--nlngs of the past, is looked forward -to. On Saturday evening, the closing :3nlght of the show, an unusually llve ly occasion is promised, with a num--ber of stunts in the nature of a sur , prise to those present. It is also 'possible that a dance may be arranged for that evening, with the cars on jthe floor moved to provide the neces sary space. TJ In regard to new cars the show this 'year will be as interesting as ever. .jsnd some unusually snappy Jobs ari --lready being put in shape by local -dealers. Among the models which "...111 vlvan thAtr vtrv firm Khnw. ing next week are the Mitchell and -the Velie. Both of these companies -have brought out new models which 'promise to command unusual interest. Perhaps the outstanding note of the show this year will be the matter of value. Price reductions already ...made since the first of the year and T, bile, generally speaking, to the point ; where it is cheaper, considering the - material involved, than ever before in the history of the Industry. From '-the standpoint of the prospective buyer of automobiles) the show this year will be of more real value than ny other show ever held in Portland. ;and automobile values truly aston ishing In nature will be offered. The decision of the Portland Motor .Car company to enter the show wai welcomed last week. This well-known firm secured four spaces on the main floor and four on the lower floor, 'as a result of slight shifting of spaces .' held by several other firms, and will ... show a tum line or iacaara and isasn automobiles.

A $1000 car Is to be put on the market by the Franklin Automobile company, Syra cuse, it was announced today by H. H. Franklin at a meeting of eastern Franklin dealers. A chassis of the new car was exhibited privately on this occasion. The car has a four-cylinder, air cooled engine, weighs 1800 pounds and Is of five-passenger'sixe. Production will commence early in 1923, the actual date depending upon completion of patterns, tools and the securing of machinery. Quantity de liveries are In prospect by April. 1923, at which time output will be nearing the 100-car-per-day mark. The new car was developed in 191S and 1919. and was to have been pro duced in 1920 but was postponed when business depression hit the country. Franklin officials anticipate that the new car will come on the market at a time when general con ditions will be most favorable for volume aale. The outstanding features of the car. aside from its low price, will be its easy riding and handling, road ability, gasoline and tire economy and the air-cooling system. It will be a "world-wide utility car," Mr. Franklin states. Besides the $1000 touring car, a sedan is also to be produced, price of which, although not yet fixed, will be equally low. Merchandising of the $1000 ear will extend to world markets and will mean considerable expansion of deal erships in this country, the meeting disclosed. EFFICIENCY GAUGE INVENTED Portland Man Has Device to SIiow Any Loss of Motor Power. Invention of a gasoline motor "efficiency gauge." by a Portland man, Fred J. Ivoehler of 428 Eleventh street, has been announced by the Aseoclated Industries of Oregon. The object of the device is to show any, loss of efficiency by an automobile or truck motor over its average per formance. The gauge, it is stated, may be installed upon any car, with iiiimn 1 X ' '5i "X" ' f i an indicator on the dash alongside the other instruments. There is no means at present of showing approximately but quickly any decrease in motor efficiency through improper carburetor adjust ment, sticky valves, improper pack ing, leaky rings or other loss of com pression, and the device la designed to fill this need, says the report from the Associated Industries. The device functions on the vacuum in the man ifold, and is arranged to transform the maximum and minimum impulses of the motor into average impulses, the strength of which are shown on the dash indicator. After a driver has become accustomed to the posi- tlon of the indicator when the motor NEW BUILDING FOR MASON TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. l TWO-STORY STRUCTURE TO HOUSE LARGE WHOLESALE TIRE CONCERN. Construction work was recently begun on the building: pictured above, which will be occupied by the Portland branch of the Mason Tire & Rubber company, Kent, O. The structure Is located at 110 North Klgluh street, between Flanders and Gllsan streets and Is 50 by 100 feet, with, two stories.

PORTLAXD, JANUARY 15, during; the week of January S3 in 28, is operating efficiently he can tell any loss of power through a change in the position of the indicator and measure the loss by the amount of alteration of position. The gauge, it is claimed, would be particularly de sirable for trucks, showing loss of power by overloading and otherwise improperly handling the truck. The first one of the gauges to be completed by the inventor is now in use on a Dodge car, and is claimed to operate with entire success. In France, powerful motorcycles, with side cars able to carry, if neces sary, four policemen, are now part of the equipment of all the Paris police stations. WORLD FACES STABLE YEAR Essentiality of Motor Vehicle Held Proved. CONDITIONS SUMMED UP Future for Individual ManufaC' turers Uncertain, But Not for Industry as Whole. NEW YORK. Jan. 14. Summariz ins: conditions in the automobile field. Automotive Industries says: "One of the most anxious years in the history c f the automotive industry came to a close with conditions vastly more stable than those which prevailed at the beginning of 1921. The essen tiality and the popularity of the mo tor vehicle have been established be yond question In a period of depres sion. What the future holds lor in dividual manufacturers and dealers is uncertain, but there is no uncertainty about the future of the Industry an a whole." It is expected that, so far as pas senger cars are concerned, the first quarter of 1923 will be materially better than the corresponding period of last year; the second quarter a little better than in 1921; the third not quite so good and the fourth con siderably better. The truck market will improve with general business conditions. Losses Written Off. The most important achievement of 1921, next to the production and sale of approximately 1,700.000 passenger cars and trucks, has been the whit tling down and balancing of Inven tories, the writing off of losses and the payment of debts. There have been few failures of real importance. Only a few companies of consequence have been liquidated. Many have been forced to recapitalise and re organize, but most of them will pull through. One of the gratifying developments of the year was the spirit of co-operation shown by the different branches of the industry in support ing the structure as a whole. Mer chandise creditors of motor-vehicle makers have consistently maintained a constructive policy. This has re sulted in the gradual reduction of past-due accounts and collections from manufacturers now are virtually on a current basis. Releases on old commitments have come through as steadily as the ve hicle manufacturer's could use them, and parts accessory manufacturers have moved a large share of the ma terials they had on hand January 1, 1921. There have been few defaults in payments in comparison with the volume of business. Nearly all ve hicle companies which were solidly established will survive the depres sion. Year Entered Confidently. The industry has entered 1923 with a reeling oi confidence which was lacking 12 months ago. It knows in general way what it can expect and can trim Its sails accordingly. With inventories down, buying in the future will not be on the hand-to-mouth basis which has prevailed for more than a year, although there will be no more piling up of huge supplies. Passenger-car manufacturers " are Confident that the coming year will be at least as good as the one just closed and truck makers expect a steadily expanding volume of busi ness, as the year advances. Even if there is no expansion of vehicle pro duction, parts manufacturers will have a better year than In 1921, be cause inventories have been reduced to a point where it is necessary to buy supplies for current needs.

Beautiful drives radiate in all direc tions, the most popular of which is, perhaps, that to Toby Creek canyon, which crosses the creek eight miles up and returns through Wilmer. The views from the benches to which the road ascends by a series of switch backs 'are wide-sweeping panoramas of great beauty and majesty. The road to Horsethief glacier with its mysteri ous lake of hanging glaciers and great ice tunnel starts here, too, and the first 20 miles of It, west of Wil mer, may be made by motor. The rer mainder is a pony trail. For those who desire to spend some time in exploring this interesting sec tion. Camp Windermere, a short dis tance from Athalmer station.' will be found a delightful stopping place. This Is a new resort, a departure from the mammoth hotels system. Twenty five rustic cabins have been built asnong the pine trees along the shore of laKe Windermere, and a com modious, wide - verandahed clubhouse on the benchland above is devoted to dining and social purposes. Bathing boating and golf are among the de lights of this camp. Snow-Crowned Rockies Tower. The western end of the Banff-Windermere link is passed at Sinclair creek as the main road is followed north to Golden, on the main trans continental line of railway, from which point cars can be shipped to Lake Louise. Elk Park ranch is passed and also Big and Little Ver million creeks, then Spllllmachlne. which mark the northern boundary of the lake district, is reached. Every mile affords views of magnificent towering snow-crowned Rockies to the east and massive Selkirks to the west, with the silvery Columbia wind ing through fertile meadows always in the foreground. From a slight em inence Just before reaching Splllima chine, if the day be clear, one may get a good view of Mount Sir Donald to the west. This peak can be recog nised by its sugar-loaf appearance, it Is 50 miles away. Golden, about 54 miles north of Windermere, marks the end of motor ing in that direction. Cars are shipped to Lake Louise from this point at an expense of J27.G0 freight charges and from one to two days' time. This delay may be used to ad vantage in exploring charms of Lake Louise inaccessible by motor. One of these is climbing the trail of the Lakes-in-the-Clouds, which stretches off and up to the right as you face the lake from the chateau. Marvelous Panorama Apprarn. It carries one around the edge of blue Louise and on to the eerie green of Mirror lake and up to Lake Agnes, a dark little tarn cupped by jagged peaks. Here a rustic tea house in vites to rest and refreshment ere .be ginning the descent, or before con tinuing the trail to the top of Mount St. Plran, from which a marvelous panorama of peaks, glaciers, lakes and valley unfold. To the left of the chateau Lake Ixmise trails lead off to the Saddleback and to Lake Morain with its exquisite setting of ten peaks. The latter is also accessible by motor road. The first motorcar to negotiate the 00 MORE 1923 Avoid Trouble 35 miles of motor road between Lake Louise and aBnff did so in 1920. The season of 1S21 saw a constant stream of cars running between these two famous mountain resorts. Banff Is the starting point for many delightfully thrilling motor rides among the surrounding mountains, one of the most popular being that to Johnson canyon. This is 18 miles of good summer road running Its entire length between ranges of snow-topped peaks. Eighty miles of road. In splendid condition during the summer season, and all down grade, lie between Banff and Calgary beyond the foothills. After the swift ride tourists may look back from the pralrre city and see the mountains bulked like great shadows against the western eky. Fertile Wheatland Are Seen. A return route to Spokane is over the road which led off from Cran brook. the first lap leading dun south from Calgary 1 1 U miles to Mai-leod through the fertile wheatlands of southern Alberta, thence due west through Pincher creek to Crow's Nest under the shadow of the great snow crowned dome of the same name. John U. Mac.N'eille of New York city, a pioneer in mountain motoring, made a comprehensive tour of this region in 19-0 and a detailed story of his trip appeared In Motor Travel, lie writes: "The most inagilf icent road sec tions are on the Crow's Nest pass route, between Btairmore. Alta.. -7 1 miles west of . Pincher creek, and Wardner, B. C-,42 miies west of Fcr nie, and on thff, Banff route between Seebe. Alta.. &2 miles west of Calgary and Lake Louise, 35 miles west of Banff, and on the Banff-Wtnderinere motor road." This part of the trail over the trans continental highway allows one to drive for days over good summer road through wonderful scenery with high mountain peaks often in eight. Leav Ing Crow's Nest the road passes Crow's Nest lake and then follow the windings of Michel creek for nine miles to Michel and on to Natal. Two miles beyond it meets the Elk river and turns south for a 40-mile stretch along that stream, crossing it at llos- mer, which nestles at the foot of the 1000-foot peak of the same name. From this point the trail leads through a veritable wonderland, pass ing Mount Proctor (8000 feet). Trinity (9870 feet), and Mount Fernle (5000 feet), where it again crosses the Elk river and enters Fernle, the largest town in southeastern British Colum bia. Fernie is beautifully located, be ing surrounded by no less than eight great peaks ranging from 5000 to 9S70 feet in height. I.lsard Range Paralleled. Leaving Fernie our west-bound cars pass through 20 miles of prodig ious scenery. The trail parallels the Lixard range until it reaches Morissey after which It comes down to the river level, crossing the river and entering Elko which is situated on a high plateau skirted on the south by the Kootenai valley and by high moun tains on the other three sides. Elk canyon, a fine example of canyon beauty, is within a few hundred yards of the town, from which several foot trails lead to points of particular vantage. Saying goodbye to Elko is also say ing goodbye to Elk river, whose wind ings the road follows many miles.
