Tha newest and latest automobile that has arrived In Portland la the handsome ' ' FtaperToleda car that haa been seen en the "streets for the paat three days. The ear -fk ono of the famona Pope-Toledo tQurJng machine and ie being., demon' strsted her by F. M. Keeton of Toledo, -Ohio,- Mr. Keeton broughtthree of. the care bare, and It la quite likely that tha H. U Keats Auto company will han dle them In thla city. Tha care are built by tha Pope Manufacturing com pany of Toledo, a corporation operating It factories. In the Pop Toledo fac tory are' made tha care that ranee.

With full equipment the car. weighs M0 - pounde - and - rune . amoothly. The fame of tha Pope-Toledo haa reached around tha globe. " At Del Monte, California, last year Qeorae Ful ler drove hie car, a 14-horsepowar. ma chine. In 1:0 -, the record time for .tourlna cars. Afterwards Fuller made ''the present record time with the same car tn l:e l-t at Loa Anaelee. Aa an evidence of the worth of the ear. It might .be mentioned that of the ' three automobllea -selected to repreaent America. In the International - race to be held In France this year two are .Pope Toledoe and the third Is a loco mobile. Mr. Mulr and Mr. Lytle will drive the Popes In the races. , Lytle ie a noted driver, jrlnnlna third place in laat- year'a bia race. . flnlahlnc ahead of 17 higher power machines. 'Did It ever occur to the caeuai ob aerver that tha automobile demonstra tor get "worked" more times than al most any other bnalnese man? Still such is the case. Right here is Port land, auto men complain that persons who never have a thought of purchas ing .a. machine, manage to make the rounds of tne different auto agenclea . and enjoy autoing for over a week -at the expense of tha agents. ' After the 'workers" nave visited all of the agents, their auto rides cornea to -a end. And the enljr one who la out-of pocket is the auto man.. Such treatment ie un- " fair to the auto men's waree are Just as -valuable as any -Other' business man. .Anyway It la a rather cheap way of letting .one's friends know that auto riding is good tor .health . and wealth. Tha agenta are only too pleased to give demonstrations, but they are human and - do not relisli being "worked" too often. ' The', good weather now ought to be an incentive for the auto ' men to get busy and have a hill climbing contest or aa auto tourney under . way. Such exhibition are instructive to all con cerned end are always Interesting.

I "Many efforts hsve been made to I adapt the -eelf -propelled etagecoach tn metropolitan conditions, and out of them several atylea of motors have sur- vlved aa suited to 'bus purposes. The points claimed In favor of each etyle are . cheapness, trustworthiness, com parative simplicity In handling, and freedom from, noise and odor. Bach of the great , London . omnibus companies has adopted Its type of motor car, and each is striving to-aee which will be the first to make the change in locomotive power. The first installment ot the new autocars, are now running for blre-and are taking their turn In the long, pro cession of the atreete. V J r - r, t&ondon is. . without doubt, the'ehtef 'bus-using city of the world. - It is es timated that there are about S.tOt omni- Ibuoee In Jlhat City. To replace them; omnlbueee. would require . over MOO eutobuaes at- leaat, but more likely S,000 will be necessary, for one some of the routes small erngle-decked vehlolee will be need. The field Is a very large one, and the replacement of horses by motors wiH-tiet ey-aaatter -of- months, but of years. : "A favorit vehicle is a double-decker pmnlbus, tastefully finished in blue and yellow, and propelled byhe Btrjiker ajid Squire steam engine. The tare weight of this 'bus la 2 tons 10 hundredweight Blngle rubber solid tires are fitted to the front wheel,, while twin tires-are fitted to the rear. The vehicle Is finely finished Inside, and 1 constructed to carry 11 passengers.' It Inside and It outside. The car of this pattern which recently successfully accomplished the automobile club reliability trial of t.000 miles 'was -on view at the recent motor car exhibition .In London, and although the tlree were perfectly " Bound, they showed that they had not been apared In the test. -In that trial the total time occupied In stoppagee .was It minutes, and the middle of the trial. 1,012 1-1 mllee bad been covered without -an In voluntary atop.- The record would have been 1.227 mllee but for m eheefc of one second only through missing gear. '-The gears and Sirdar tlree were found to be In very fair condition at the end of the trial.' Interesting -points in the design of the oar are the . operation of the valves from an overhead lay ahaft, and the employment of 1 a -volute spring et the rear ende of the distance rod to ab sorb the driving shocks. - - "One 'of -the -chief polnta-ln -favor ot the motorbuses is the additional' street room gained through the displacement of the horses.

As it is the published Intention of the French club tn select its team for the Vanderbllt race by choosing the five cars that make the best showing in' the elimination trials for the" Bennett cup race, it Is obvious that It cannot comply with the rules of the race here, because the Ben nett elimination trials are not to be held until June H.
