' The Portland Automobile Commission
feouse has a class of i men at work
In their automobile school learning; how
- to run and repair machines. The class
rooms are located In the repair shop

practical kind. The students are taugot
to repair any kind of a break In a
v machine and how to run their cars.

Motorists of. New York whose cars
have carried ' danling earchllghts,
have been busy 'modifying them to com

ger of the Peerless Automobile com
. f panv, was In Portland early hi the
week. He Is on a trip around the
western automobile circuit and reports
. that trade Is good In. all sections.
' - Portland auto dealers are mighty glad
that the cold spell is gone, for they
will now have a chance to show some
'of their new stock." It was a risky busi
ness showing cars in the snow, but
now that Oregon is again In Its normal
' state, they expect the trade to pick
up. , They are all looking forward to
! the automobile show in March.
The Automobile Dealers' association
has had an attractive stamp printed, ad
' Verttsing the coming show. This stamp
,1s to be xsted on all the mall going
' out of the several offices. It Informs
. the public that the firm from whom the
letter has been sent Is to exhibit In
the coming show, March 8 to March
Among the improvements or ine
year In the making of power plants for
automobiles Is the use of aluminum in
the crank case and bearings. For years
makers have used manganese bronze,
because It was considered stronger. Im
proved testings-of aluminum, however,
have enabled It to be utilised, giving
the advantage Of lightness and less
noise. m t

Stylish elegance was the fundamental
tone of thp Packard exhibit at the
automobile - show In Madison Square
garden. New -York. On account of the
popular familiarity with . ita touring
cars and runabouts, the Packard Motor
Car company has especially emphasised
enclosed body types.

was a purple and gold creation one

Portland's Fair Drivers to
Have Chance During
Rose Festival.
Portland's fair autoists, of whom
there are a large number, will have an
opportunity to display their nerve, skill
and endurance at the June Rose Fes
tival, when one day will be given over
to a -women's road race. Some 10 local
women drivers have said they will en
ter the race, and it la possible that
twice this number will leave the Port
land hotel on the June morning that the
race is set for.
Endurance racing for women drivers
was given a great Impetus this year.

won by Mrs. Joan Newton Cuneo, the
famous woman driver of New York.
after a close and exciting finish. Since
tne isew Yoru to rnuadelphla affair
there has been renewed interest locally
In road racing.
it is tne intention to keep the local
race within the membership of the Port
land Automobile club. With this idea
in mind, no out of town drivers will be
Invited, although a number have stated
that they would be willing to drive in
any local race that was arranged.
Course for Test.
At first it was intended to make the
race from Portland to Salem, golne uo
on one side of the river, and returning
on in ouier. jiowever, mis plan will
likely be superseded by one of more
local nature.
According to an outline of yesterday,
it is believed that the following course
would prove more attractive than the
inter-city one: Starting at the Port
land hotel and crossing the Burnside
street bridge for a run to the Bandy
road, thence to the Twelve Mile house
and through Gresham, from Greaham
across to the Foster road, back on this
road "to Powell Valley road at Thirty
fourth street, thence out the Powell
Vallev road to Gresham; from Gresham
across to the Section Line road and
back on the Section Line to the reser
voir; thence across the reservoir to the
Base Line road and out this highway
to Troutdale; from Troutdale on the
Slough road to St Johns and thence on
the last leg up the Portland boulevard
to the starting- point.
All ths driving over all the course
must be don by a woman. The driver
must aiso maice her own repairs during
the Journey of soma 100 miles. If there
are any masculine enthusiasts aboard
the car they roust remain passive spec-
taiors auring ins endurance run.

A Packard Thirty" limousine in
three shades of rich olive green, with
black and gold vertical striping, gives
a beautiful effect which is out of the

upholstered in - olive green broadcloth
with tufted quarters and celling in

The . open car displayed was a Pack

This was the prototype, both in name
and design of all the oars with close

is painted in a dark French gray with

The upholstery, is gray leather to match.

FOREieil CARS II!
POBUAI SHOW
Effort Being Made to Secure
. Pacing Machines for
Exhibition. -
Portland will be visited during the
automobile ' show in March and later
during the Rone Festival by some of th
most famous racing cars in the world, if
the plans of the local club materialise.
Secretary Llpraan Is in communication
with several eastern representatives of
the racing machines, and they inform
him that thev will be clad to come to
Portland on both dates, provided ar
rangements can be made. -
Most all the cars which took part in
the Savannah grand prise races are
scheduled to take part in the auto race
at the old Ascot rac track In Los An
geles during the spring. ' It i very likely
tnai some or tnem wui oe exniouea in
th show In th California cities during
the late winter. Being In California It
Is only a step to Portland. . ,
Before th cars return eaat for the
races on the eastern circuit, thev will
come to Portland, according - to plans,
and take part in the June road races.
This will make necessary a third race,
or else: the confining of the stock car
to me to mne event, ir mere is a tnira
race it will probably be a 100 mil event.
By starting 1 the races earlier, three
events can be very easily pulled off in
a day without tiring the spectators.
Among the cars which it la thought
will com west are several foreign car
of great speed. There will be the Bens,
Fiat, Mercedes, Panhard. Renault, Loiter
and others. Among; the domestlo ear
will be the Locomobile and George Rob
ertson, the man who drove it to victory
in the Savannah races. Of course th
presence of these cars is more or less
problematical, but they will be on dis
play if there is any possibility of get-

A New Kind of Car.
Considerable amusement was caused
by an advertisement of the Pope-Hartford
company that appeared in the New
York Athletic Club Journal, copies of
which were distributed at the palace
during the show. Around the picture
of a "police patrol" there appeared the
following reading matter: "Seven pas
senger car, price, $3000. Not a five pas
senger car, with extra seats. A car for
seven passengers. Tour all day. and
every day in comfort and with speed,
making all stops on schedule time.' It
was of course intended that the picture
of a touring car should have been used
in connection with this advertisement,
but the printer through some error
which possibly even he could not explain
ran the picture of the police patrol.

Mr. J. B. Kelly, 214 Second street,
Dear Sir Replying to your letter of the 12th instant, concerning stage line automobile an4 requesting
some information with regard to what we are doing down here with our stage lines, would say that we
have three stage lines in our territory, one running from Mohawk to the North Star mine, a distance of
about 40 miles, making the round trip every day; another operating between GlSmis and Palo Verde, a
distance of 45 miles, and the third running between Douglas. Arizona, and Cananea, Mexico, a distance of
.40 miles. .The Mobawk stage line, which is operated by the Norton-Mayhew Stage Line Company, has
been, in service for something over a vear: the Glamis-Palo Verde outfit has been m operation for nearly .
five .years, while the Douglas proposition has been running for about two years; All ofrthese lines are
operated with White Steamers; the most perfect and entirely satisfactory service being given; in fact to
Carry the United States mail absolute deliveries on time must be made, and after trying out several dif
ferent makes of cars these people found that the reliability of , the White Steamer was Just what they
waited and they have been -using them ever since.
There is no question as to the advisability of the use of the' White Steamers for stage line work,
. especially where the United States mail is to be carried. The government insists upon prompt deliveries
and will have nothing else. - -
I presume that you know President-elect Taft has recently purchased one of our ' model "M" caral
The government won't have anything else but White Steamers; this should show what the best engineers
in the country think of the car. . ' .- . .
The above statements are all' facts and can be proven absolutely by reference; in fact we have letters
from these people in the office" now, in which they state they are entirely pleased and satisfied with the
operation and stability of our machines. Very truly yours,
