Cadillac Owners THE supreme confidence with which Cadillac owners regard their cars is a logical outgrowth of at least four definite factors. In the first place, Cadillac dependa bility has been demonstrated over a period of years. This dependa bility is something more than is 'generally included in the meaning of the word. It embraces a degree of constant, unimpaired perfor mance that has placed Cadillac in a distinct and separate class. Secondly, Cadillac owners realize , that in every new model this Cadillac dependability finds an even fuller expression. Type 61 represents the highest attainment Cadillac has thus far achieved.

DODGE CHIEFS VISITORS THRILLS O1 UOIND-IP ARE HIGHLY ENJOYED. President F. J. Haynes and Party Make Only a Brief Slop in Portland. Frederick J. Haynes,. prealdent and genera manager of Dodge tiros., famous automobile manufac turers of Detroit, was In Portland a fhort time last Sunday. His stay in Portland was so limited he hsd time only to take a little trip over the heights to view our thriving me tropolis and a few of the city's show places. With President Haynes waa John A. Xichols Jr., general sales man ager or Dodge Bros., and a party of six other relatives and friends. They had spent some time at Seat tle, where Mr. Nichols formerly re sided, and then proceeded to Pendle ton, where they had the time of their lives at "lie Kound-up. Com ing Into Portland they debarked from their private car at The Then, again, theylknow that leading automotive engineers in Europe and America have stated without reserve that Cadillac stands su-preme-as the world's leading motor car value. Lastly and of equal importance to Cadillac owners is the fact that the American public by an over whelming majority, has conceded leadership to Cadillac More Type 61 cars have been sold this year than all other cars combined selling at the Cadillac price or higher. 9 In view of these known facts, com bined with their personal experi ence, could it be expected that owners would have other than the deepest confidence in their Cadillacs LAC the World Dalles, where members of the firm of Hraley. Graham Child, local distributors of the Dodge, met them in four Dodge sedans.' In the motor party were Oeorgs A. Hraley. A. B. Graham and Hal O. ' Child and their wlvea. They left The Dalles at A. M. and pulled into Portland at P. M. On the way, however, they stopped at Lan caater's camp and enjoyed a fin. luncheon. This was mad. the ot caaion for presenting to the visitors some wonderful colored views of the Columbia River highway as souvenirs. Th. party, after their brief atop In Portland, departed la their apeclal car si T:44 P. It. to v I k 1 1 California points. Th. Dodge chiefs wer. not out en a business trip this time, but wer. taking a vacation. They had in tended to enjoy a short outing la th. northwest, but had already been away from bom. SO days, and, so much wer. they enjoying them selves, left here. Intending to spend six weeks mors on th. Jaunt. The Kound-up mads a wonderful hit with them. No sooner had they landed in Pendleton than they pur chased t-t cowboy hats, silk shirts and "bandanas' and set about "mixing In" as thooah nier. ranch hands from th. Oreaon wheat fields, bent on having a Jolly time. They had it. according to Mr. Child. Presi dent Hsynes, b. for. h. left Pendle ton, bought a dosen of the 126 hats, a dosen Oreaon blanketa and a dosen silk shirts, to be distributed among his eastern friends.

Horapaugh, bond buyer of this city, accompanied by his daugh ter, Mrs. Marian Field, and nr daughter, Betty, arrived horn, a ffW days ago from a motor trip, to Ban don beach. They report th. new highway In very good condition, for motor travel, although It will not be completed for a number of months yet. Mr. Horapaugh said that this will be the moat important road between the valley aectlon of the state and the coast country, with the excep tion of the lower Columbia highway, for th. reason that It will afford in outlet to the rich territory around Coos bay. Already a great deal of produce and other freight Is beinic ahipped over the new road, he said. The highway passes through a scenic section of the Stat, that com paratively few motorists have seen. It used to take the stagea two data to make the trip from Itoaeburg to the coast section 'over the old road, but now the trip Is mads In leu than half a day with ease. Cars Carry Few on Average.
