H. M. Covey, th Portland aute dealer,
ha set a mark for ambitious hlll-

believes will ,iot soon be beaten.
Mr. Covey drove hla car to an eleva

which waa 4,000 feet up, or 800 feet to
the mile. Thla la a grade .of 8 per cent.
The climb waa made from Hood River
to Cloud Cap inn, a resort on the east

no other car haa ever succeeded in get

Covey, who waa driving a alx-cyllnder
Cadillac, made the entire Journey of 28

M'BREEN LIKES STYLE

The San Francisco Bulletin ha th
following to say about th sal of Pat
Donahue to Boston:
"Before the Seals left Portland It
was aettled that Pat Donahue would
wear a Boston American uniform next
year. 'Scout' McBreen aaw the young

McCredle. McBreen pronounced him

"When Pat was thinking of going to
the California 8tate league, Jiggs wrote
him a latter stronaly urglna him to re
main loyal to organized baseball, for
then there would be a chanoe for him
to catch on in faster company. Dona
hue has not the most regular habits, but
when he strikes the big show and haa
to work hard to hold his position this
is liable to rober him as It has other
players who have graduated from the
'bush.' Players that outclass their as
sociates are liable to run wild at times,
and maybe the best thing that could
happen Pat Is that he has been sold to
Boston. He Is not going to the best
club in the American league, but Bos
ton is putting up a better game than It
did a year ago. President Taylor has
scouts out looking for new material,
and if money can buy it he will have
it. There is nothing cheap about the

SPEED MANIA IS NEW

Proneness to "speed mania" depends
entirely upon the temperament of th
Individual. Just as there ara some per
sons upon whom even one glass of wine

Gentlemen. I know you will be interested in

Fletcher's Beach, a point about 15 miles south of
Cloverdale, Tillamook county, distance about 120
miles. Half of the distance is over mountains, sev
eralgrades being 30J4 per cent I made the trip
from Portland to Fletcher's Beach, near Oretown,
in my 35 horse-power Mitchell touring car in nine
and one-half hours. The car behaved magnificently
and stood the strain remarkably well. In going Hip
the steepest grades I noticed that the car had still
considerable reserve power. This is remarkable
when you consider I had five people in the car and
300 pounds of baggage. I am of the opinion if the
dealers want to have an endurance run that they will '
find no better road than the one I have just been
over. You can count on the Mitchell car to be in
at the finish. - Yours very truly, r
