'-'i T. S. Fish, president of all the Stude
V baker companies, and Uayden Eamea,
1 mmhI raanuer of all th various
' Btudebaker branches, are In Portland
'to Inspect the branch In this city. Con
" 'stderable chaugea ar contemplated In
- th local branch because of the vlalt
f the head offloers. the details of which
. Will not be made public at present
'-'"One of the principal things tha local
Btudebaker branch will give special at
tention to this scaison are tne various
' tine of Btudebaker automobiles that
the company la putting on the market.
, the city trade will be covered as usual.
"but especial efforts are being made by
the Btudebakers to reach the farmer
trade In gaaollne-drlven vshlclea, espe
cially the placing- of the new motor
buggy.
This branch of the business Is under
the personal charge of Mr. Earaea. who
' : for a number of years was a. naval
ffleer, but who resigned to go Into the
automobile business some 13 yean ago.
First Woman Antolet.
Mrs. Barnes, by the way, was the
"Brat woman to drive an automobile In
the world. That was years ago, when
but few men and they were experts)
knew how to run a motor car. But
when Mr. Eames took up the study of
the electric automobile his wife at
ence qualified a an expert and drove
the first machine ever handled by a
woman in the world,
' "We can now turn out an automobile
buggy for 8&0 that every farmer should
pave' said Mr. Eames yesterday. "It
has no rubber tires to wear or cut out,
and is made on the simplest principles
to that almost any farmer or country
blacksmith can repair It The time Is
coming when Journeymen machinists
' will tour the rural districts to repair
automobiles, -owned by the farmer, but
- that day Is not here yet Till It cornea
' the best we can do la to turn out ma
t chines that are so strong and so slra
" pie that they need little expert atten
tion, and will run for years just so or
dinary common sens Is used to keep
' them oiled and In proper adjustment
1 ; Ones pa ess of poeatttaes.
"By turning out 10,060 of these bug
' flea, a year now and 15,000 a year be
fore long, all made exactly alike so far
- ia their mala and moat expensive carta
' ire concerned, we can deliver an auto
, poblle for SS68 that If turned out by
the ' cnere hundred would coat $2,000.
j It ta Just like a newspaper the first
taper off tha press costs as much as the
hut 1M0 eoplea So it Is with our
' ' farmer automobile buggy with high
' wheels and ateel tires. It will run 20
nllea aa hour and cost less to keep
than .one horse, while doing the work
. f four.
, "Now the electric track in a city Is
, lupposed to be a very heavy, awkward
; loncern, using up most of Its own force
k pull itself. Tha fact is that tha
klectrio truck can handle a bigger load
n a city- street than can a gasoline or
I. steam car truck of the same weight,
n special cases a gasolma track can
e made to handle 72 per cent of the
sossibte limit, but these are too frail
io last The electric- can be made prac
' Ileal, both for use and cost to handle a
10 per cent load) while steam often
links as low as 2? per cent - I know
f one outfit who deliver goods by the
tld-f&shloned horse-pulled wagons.
Thev . have tlt.000 Invested In their
, teams and it costs them 127.000 a year
, lo deliver goods with them. We can
put In electric trucks at a cost of 123.
tit and deliver tha wane woods with
them for 18,000 a year. That la, by
- investing $10,000 in a lump sum that
Arm can save (9,000 a year. Pretty
- rooa interest on tne money, you see, in
. cavor or tne electric truck.
,i;,i,j.t:--anm.t Space Baring-
"Now there la another phase of the
., question in tne city between the horse
! and the electrle truck. Tha horse
' hitched to a wagon uses twice the street
space that tha wagon would If run by
.Its own power. In other words, you
can run twice as many automobiles oa
' a street as you can horses and wagona
This practically doubles the width of
; four Street at one jump. The horse
1 Is responsible for fully three fourths of
the cost of cleaning the streets, be-
cause of the manure. The dried manure
Is tha chief cause of sickness arising
., from dirty streets, and thus cost a
large amount in sprinkling. Of course
the streets would have to be cleaned
and sprinkled anyway, but not nearly
so much as when tha horse Is in tha
b. question. .
, "Another thing Is this: Tha auto
n mobile runs faster than the horse and
thua allows more traffic to pass alcer-
tain point In a given time than can go
by drawn by horses. It Is exactly like
s water flowing through a pipe, the faster
.:: the water flows the more .water is car
? rled In the same nines. Consider the
o street a plpa and the traffic the water
and there you have it to a dot ; and all
. in favor of the automobile.
y Brings Good Boada.
"One of the chief needs of this coun-'
! try today Is good roads. The horse
can wallow In any old rut, but the auto
mobile breeds good roads. Give every
farmer aa automobile buggy and you
- will have every farmer In favor of
good roads at once.
v "Our oompany Is about to begin a
- campaign of education concerning the
automobile of low price for the aver
' age man. The self-driven vehicle has
ceased to be the rich man's plaything;
- it Is becoming a daily necessity to rich
. ; and poor. To educate the general pub

Dan Murphy, Who Starts Training Rowing Club This Week.
Michigan may have her Keena Ftts-
patrlck, Chicago her Alonso Btagg and
Carlisle her Qlen Warner, but right here
In Portland there is a man who holds
as high a place In his particular branch
as any of them. That man is Dan Mur
phy, coach, of tha Portland Rowing club,
who stays on the coast because ho
likes tha coast
Dan's aquatic history is an Interest
ing one. Nearly 30 years ago he began
his rowing, and has kept it up since.
He is Just turning 60 years, and despite
an lUneas which baa extended over the
past six months, feels in . splendid
spirits. Dan is going out on the river
with the crew today, marking the first
actual coaching of the aenior four this
season. He is going to keep the men
hard at werk until the, Washington
races in 'July.
Dan stated yesterday that the Port
land foar, which la now preparing for
the regatta is much faster than the
crew which crowded the Nonpareil Boat
club of the Harlem river to Its utmost
in the national reaatta at Worcester in
1806. This virtually means that Dan
thinks his men are the fastest four In
the United States. If they shew the
class Dan expeots them to show there
is every reason to believe that local
business men will donate enough to send
mi crew to ina regatta in August next
Murphy's first rowing race waa In
Boston in 18(1, he capturing the Junior
championship of the Bhawmut Rowing
club. The year following he was) with
the Crescent Rowing club. He -Wowed
his first professional race at Quincy,
Illinois, beating Jim Kennedy In lS8f.
After that ha went to Winnipeg. Can
ada, and coached the crews of the Win
nipeg uoat club xor rive yeara n
1898 hla Winnipeg oarsmen won every
regatta In America, and the following
year they were sent to the Henley re-
Rtta In England. The four experienced
tie difficulty In beating the Holland
four oared crew in the preliminaries
for the Steward cup.
In the finals Dan's youngsters went
up against the Leandar crew, the cham
pions of England for years. After a
heartbreaking race from start to fin
ish Leander crossed the line a quar
ter of a length to the good. It was the
greatest race a foreign four had ever
put up on the hlstorio Thames course
and Murphy. and hla crew were praised
everywhere.
. ,. Bnocessful Here.
Murphy's success with Portland has
been Immense. His senior crews have
always wen In the northwest and their
J hewing in 1S0( waa so good that pub-lo-splrlted
citizens sent them east Billy
King, Bill Pemberton, Fred Zimmerman
and Paul Smldt were the four selected
to go. They : were the only oarsmen
from the far west and their entry waa
a surprise. They beat eVery preliminary
event and when the final was run off
with the Nonparlel four, the easterners
salt up and took notice.
The Nonparlels were rowed to a stand
still and though they beat the Portland
quartet It waa only after the hardest
kind of a struggle. Nonparlel crossed
the finish line a few feet In advance of
the Oregon crew but most of the oheers
floated toward the Portland youngsters.
Murphy is still teaching tha same
stroke that brought victory so many
times. The oarsmen do not effect the
long, sweeping style, but use a shorter
stroke. It is not choppy, however. The
men sit upright at the finish of the
stroke, never going beyond the perpen
dicular. They rely on their arms and
shoulders ' to propel tha boat and this
lessens the hard strain on the atomaoh,
Under the Murphy system the stroke
seldom sends the men to stroking faster
than II to the minute. The result shows
tha Dhlloscobv of tha method and Dan
is confident that It will bring victory
against Washington during the Rose
Festival and during the regatta on Lake
wasmngion.)

lie is a slow and costly undertaking.
but we know It will bear golden fruit
to the automobile company that does it
"Our name is known all over the
world to the farm because of our wag
ona and buggies, and it seems almost
a shame to have to turn the horse down
at this late day after that noble animal
has done so much for our company In
the past; but the world moves and the
automobile is here just as the rifle once
replaced the bow and arrow. It may
sound rather Queer to hear a member
of the old Studebaker wagon company
say that the horse should be barred
from" the downtown business streets,
but such is the fact And it most come
sooner or later, the sooner the better.
The, automobile is the king of the road
in tpie near future."

Whltemore, has shown In the two series
he has officiated as high fsctotem, that
he Is somewhat of an "ump." He Is
absolutely master of the field, and his
decisions are fair and Impartial.
The Woodburn Blue Birds seem to be
playing in hard luck thia season. On
each of their trips to Portland and 6t
Johns when ' they should have shown
the greatest strength they have been
the weakeat both in the pitching de
partment and with the stick. Marshall
and Harmon, the two slabaters upon
whom Manager Kennedy la building his

one of his twirlers to St Johns last

It is rumored that 'Southpaw Aok
