Driving Into a country sJong the
Nehalem river which had never before
.been disturbed by the chif of automo
biles, P. A.- Combs, of Archer Combs
& Co., C. A. Eastman, of the White
Motor Car c6mpany and Monte Smith of
the Packard Motor Car company, made
a ramarkable fishing trip last Saturday
ana Sunday In a White gas car. '
The party ventured over roads which
were said by' natives of the country to
be Impassable. They were warned re
peatedly not to venture further if they
wanted to get out again,, but proceed
ing in spite of warnings, they went
ahead, had all kinds of good fishing and
came out with hardly a scratch as far
as the machine was concerned. '
The party was the first to venture In
an auto beyond the railroad camp on
tha Lytle Road, known aa Camp 8.
The path was found to be uneven, up
and- down, and with grades whloh
reached a 83 1-3 per cent pitch. -
"The country was the prettiest I have
ever driven through said Mr. East
man. "but I would not care to attempt
the trip again In. a machine that is,
If I wished to be sure that I -would have
an automobile at the finish. Tha wear
on our machine was something awful,
t although we were in good running order-
at the end of the trip, ; - ..
"The fishing up the Nehalem river
waa first class. Our biggest catch was
a nine pound Rainbow trout which
Combs and X landed by uniting our ef-.-
forts. . ' -,j . - : ', .v -, ; v. .j....;
"We found one man living In a log
. cabin who ba?d never seen an automobile-before.'
He fell all ver himself
with delight when -we explained the
mechanism and announced that he would
buy a machina as soon as n could' ell
' off soma of his timber. He own
large tract of valuable timber. '-
"Seven miles of the road over which
w traveled had been built by the rail
road contractors as a wagon trail for
, hauling supplies. An idea of their con
dition can be had from the fact that
" the supply wagons have . to be gulled
Jong in spots with the .assistance of

PARTY MAKES RECORD M
RUN FROM SPRINGS
What la thought to ba record time
for the ma from Wllhoit Springs, to
Portland by way of Oregon Cltya dla
tance of about 88 miles, was made re
cently by Julius Meier in his Thomas 70.
With Mr. Meier In the machine were
Mr. and Mrs. X. Meier, Mr. and Mrs.
8. Frank and Harold Meier. Julius
Meier said yesterday that in order not
to maxe it too uncomfortable for the
women passengers he did not drive as
fast as he might, and that he proceed
ed, carefully over the rough spots. ".,,.
"I did not let the machine out." he
said. ,"and 1 think If I had we would
have come back in two hours flat, or
lees. We left Wllhoit Springs at exactly
.11:30 a. m.. and arrived iq Portland
at 1:45 p. m."

as far as Kelso and then shipped. W,
a Phinney remarked tola morning that
he could have aome over the remainder
of the road In good time, but that he
did not feel like subjecting himself to
tha iolts which' he had experienced on
tha through trip from Seattle during
the Rose Festival. ,-- '- ' : t ..
