It Is not any one car, however, that is drawing the bulk of the trade at all but It Is every car which has stood the public test. People In the northwest are buy ing good cara and there are many of them, and the reliable dealer with the reliable car Is doing the business. MEN OF EXPERIENCE WANTED FOR RACING 1 Experienced men are wanted to drive racing: cars, and there are hardly men enough of experience to fit all of. the positions. Makers spend money and V lots of it to take 1 part in the contests and quite naturally seek men who have ' made reputations as drivers of winning cars, . It must be evident, though, that men must drive cars to gain experience, and those who are anxious to drive have the time of their llyes endeavoring to secure mounts. They knock at the door of opportunity many times before the door is opened. Providing they made a good' showing on their first appearance the door remains open, but should they .. meet with an . accident or fall to show ,to an advantage It Is closed, and then Ihe fight for recognition starts all over ..gain. ; iThey may , go for montha with no itry in an event of prominence and no importunity" " to show, and 'then be ae- tcted at the last moment to take the ace of some Injured driver or to take Acar that has been entered with the tea that some driver o prominence VPen. . . frovldlnff a failure is again scored, difficulty of securing a third trial - times greater, and the year is. gone, tout any gain. There are men to- i day who have tried and tried for several years without progress toward their much sought goaL One of these fairly shouted the good news all up and down Broadway, New York, some days ago. He had finally landed a car for a prominent event the Vanderbllt race, and secured his opportunity. The climb up the ladder of fame Is a hard one and takes time unless great In fluence is brought to bear, and Influence counts for but little oftentimes. Maker fail to see the common sense of spend ind thousands of dollars to make the reputation of a driver,, perhaps, while making the reputation of their car. They feel that they have the car to win or would not enter and as Is the case with the owner of a fast horse they seek the best jockey. Failure to secure the best they go for the next best, and finally, It may be, strike- bottom and the seeker may be the one who Is taken. To a clever 'driver opportunity 1 everything, and backed' up by a good car, he feels that his fortune Is giale. Fortunes are being mad Jys41oe who have had the opportunity and make good, and others now seek the chanc-s. Inexperienced men are not wanted, but must have the experlenoe, and the op portunity to gain this experience is hard to find. UT0 SHOW TQ BE A BETTER THAN EVER pleted market. "Take the Item of rubber. We can still recall the time when crude up river Para gum could be bought In the open market at 36 cerfts a pound. Only about a year ago the price was well below the dollar mark. Today crude rubber sen at $M0, with no prospect of a decline and with an almost appalling scarcity of the material. Yet wheels must be shod with rubber tires and the automobile manufacturer is compelled to purchase his tire equipment at a much higher cost than was ever exacted of him be' fore. The heyday of the rubber pool ar rangement pales Into insignificance when -the present day price of rubber is considered. The demand for special steels. It Is pointed out. Is unprecedented, "so that It has become a matter of absolute fact that the automobile manufacturer Is governed In his plans, not by the amount of business he can command, but by the amount of raw material he is able to obtain." The supply of trim ming materials and hair used for the upholstering of automobiles. It is de clared. Is practically exhausted. "Nor are these conditions conflled to the automobile manufacturer proper; they are also found in all establish ments making the accessories forming part of the complete motor car," the writer continues. "The scarcity of good labor and the difficulty of securing raw material also contribute to the reasons which make for Increased prices - in these lines. "Of course even this chaotic upheaval of resources will ultimately right itself, though relief is not in sight yet. But it would be unwise for the public to ex pect the price of cars to pursue a down ward course at the same time when the price of nearly every part going into their manufacture keeps constantly risk ing. Indeed It should be the cause for small wonder if the selling figures of automobiles were to accommodate themselves- to the changing conditions under which the cars themselves must be made; in other words, we believe It very likely that not very long hence au tomobiles. Instead of costing less, will cost more. In fact as It now looks automobiles must go up In price, and they will very soon." SOW 200 ACRES TO FIELD PEAS FOR HOGS (Soeolnl Dlamitch to The Journal.) Condon. Or.. Nov. 6. Henry Greber, a I farmer, residing near here. Intends to sow 200 acres to field peas next spring In an effort to try out the hog business.

A Special conference, the Journal state, has been held at the Berlin' foreign of fice, when the reports of, several Oer man consul In the far east. Including one from the Vladtvostock consul, were read, fresh Instruction were- subse quently sent to, these consuls.

A terrible Indictment of Russian meth ods of government, consisting mostly of documents submitted to the first and second duma, has been published in Germany, and circulated privately here. The book portrays the persecution of Drosressive men which has been srolng on in Russia for the last few years, the features of which recall the worse out rages of the Inquisition. the author writes: The prisons of Russia are at th present time overcrowded to a degree Is not saluted with due honors. "It that they contain 181.000 prisoners, al- is no use being a grand duke," be de clares, "if the soldiers don't salute you." He has many costly and beautiful toys, but his chief delight is "play hi g soldiers" or riding out' on his pony or donkey. ' He Is now being taught to spell and to write. He Is able to sign his name, and has already put It under some "ukas" (decrees) to the Cossacks, for he is by birth "the chief of all the Cossacks." The food of the imperial children la yery simple. Young Alexis prefers the coarse brown bread, which Stepan some times gets him from the barracks, to the most delicate fare. The eldest grand duchess, Olga Nlco- lalevna, Is now nearly a grownup young lady. She Is a charming girl, beloved by all who approach her. She Is fond f reading and Is devoted to the Rus sian poets, such as Pushkin and the romantic Lermontoff, the "Russian By ron," She often reads English books. chosen by her governess. Every morn ing Olga Nicolalevna rides out on horse back, sometimes accompanied by her father, often by a young officer of the imperial guard. Her riding dresses are always London made.
