THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, "PORTLAND. WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST Zl, 1513. 0P0SE0 ID IP 10 SEATTLE S1HIA1 At Least 40 Cars Will Be in r Line .When Start Made Sept. , 3; " Local Autoists to. Be Giiests4)f Seattle Club. - Clifford Harrison, assistant, secretary r of ',the Portland "Automobile club, has been Instructed by E. Henry Wemme to , ascertain what Interest Is being taken In the proposed Portland-Seattle, tour, .scheduled for the first week In Sep tember,. and to determine the approxi mate number of .cars that' will be en tered. After Mr. Harrison had Inter vlew'ed automobile owners today he said he was satisfied that entrants would number at least 40, and that probably ,. a greater number would participate: In the run. In nearly every detail, the proposed Portland-Seattle tour la the greatest of Its kind contemplated by the club.,, In 'the first place, 'the run would be longer than any taken, and the time consumed longer, with the added attraction of the meetlng of auto owners at Seattle Sun day, September 6, for the purpose of , organizing the Western - Automobile association. Delegates representing .the automobile clubs of the Pacific coast . and western slope will be in attendance. For National Highway. .The Western Automobile association ' Is to be formed for the primary- purpose of promoting a great national highway from the British Columbia border to f Mexico. Other minor objects are mul titudinous and all of utmost impor tance. " Plans of "the Portland Automobile club, contemplate a start from Portland : Saturday morning, September S. Seattle ' Is less than 200 miles distant, and re ' ports say the roads are In excellent shape, especially from Kelso . north. A pathflnding car will go ahead of the touring cars, carrylne a pilot, with a perfect knowledge off the road-. -Also, , there will be a repair car, carrying ex- 'pe'rts on auto repair work. - Before the start Is made, arrange ments will be made bv officers of ,the club for stops a(0 different stations, . where meals can be obtained, and some little time wilt be spent on the run at the more well known cities: Chehalls, Centralis,. Olympla and Tacoma. Using ; the schedules drawn up by other tour ists, auto ' club officers estimate that the cars should reach Seattle some time early Sunday; Saturday .hight will be passed In Chehalls. The cars will be run several hundred yards apart, so they may keep out of the dust of the others. Delegates to Meet. In Seattle the tourists will be enter tained by the' Seattle Automobile club, which Is fathering the movement look ing toward the forming of the Western Automobile association. Arrangements for hotel accommondatlon will be made and preparations made for the comfort , of the visitors. Cars will be garaged free of charge by the Wlnton Motor ' Car company, cleaned and repaired. Delegates from the different auto mobile clubs fit the west will meet Sunday evening at Hotel Washington annex for the purpose of forming the westf-rn association. Officers will be elected, plans discussed in detail and, in all probability, headquarters will be ar ranged for. Portland autoists will work to have some member of the Portland Automobile club elected president,, hope to gain the office of secretary for Port land and seek to have the headquarters established here. . Monday the Seattle Automobile club wil be host at a picnic at Snoqualmle Falls, the most beautiful scenic spot near Seattle. 'Autoists. from all over the west will be guests. Many to Attend Picnic , To attend the meeting and i picnic, auto loads of those Interested In auto ing will go from Vancouver, B. C, Vic toria, B. C Bellingham, wash., Spo kane North Yakima, Walla Walla, a number of Oregon cities, and some, so far as Boise, Idaho, Delegates from California, , Colorado and far southern states will -o by train to the honking place. . iv vr.r , . v.' , --. Coming home, the Portland autoists probably will start from Seattle Tues day morning or evening. Many seem anxious to make the run home at night. If they left Seattle at night they would arrive in Portland some time Wednes day morning. '., The Seattle meeting will be the larg est of Its kind held on the Pacific coast Probably more autoists will be gathered than ever, before In the history of the west, not excepting" the auto shows. Portland Is entitled- to five delegates to the organization v meeting, but the club members. believe that as .4arge a party- As Is possible should be induced to go. Portland wants two offices and the headquarters, and the more boost ers it sends, the better chance it has to get them, they say. ; took for Ideal Trip. , ; . Club members promise" an. ideal" trip to Seattle and return. The scenery along the route is the most beautiful in the west, and if the weather permits, there is no reason why the trip shouldn't be wholesomely enjoyable, such as was the tour to Tillamook. The trip will not consume sufficient, time-to make the ride tiresome. There will be plenty of stops to break into the monotony of the roadV Specie arrangements wlll be made for good meals enroute. No at tempt will be made to speed, as suf ficient time for a comfortable Jaunt will be allowed. Mr. Harrison is endeavoring to learn just how many auto owners will go. He has asked: the newspapers to urge those who desire to participate to communi cate with him at the office of the Over look Land company, of which B. Henry Wemme is president, so that' If the tour is finally settled upon, he will know for how many parties to arrange. He wants to learn the sentiment of auto owners, for, although many members of the club areanxious to have the tour made, they do not desire to boost it if it is not favorably regarded by the mass of their brethren." the health officer's approval, have re cently undertaken to clear away the unsanjtary rotting garbage from the dump and burn out its menace to health. We cannot entirely consume the stuff with our equipment even by keeping the furnaces piled high, as you see, but we have cleared the dump- The wa gons coming here at all hours try once in a while to slip past and deposit gar bage on the dump. But In every such Instance I . have ' prosecuted. . Garbage Wagons Open. . "And remember those wagons com ing here with stuff that Is named cor rupt and unsanitary are Just as corrupt and unsanitary down town. The filthy nature of the refuse constitutes my reason foe risking the lives of the men. who have stood by me nobly, to burn out the disease and odor. But these wagons are open and the garbage men collect in many Instances from open cans. The wagons are wooa ana tney drip their contents on the street, and the' men track Into houses' and up the stairs where they collect from tene ments. The menace to health that cen tralizes here at the incinerator la dis seminated thus throughout the city. "Positively the only remedy for all this evil is ctty collection of garbage. Tight cans will .then be compelled by law. Metal .wagons with eovers will then be used to replace the rickety, leaky, wooden vehicles that now offend the eyes .and the noses of people on our streets. "The new! incinerator will be ready for use November 11, I am Informed. Its -capacity will be ten tons an hour. But its usefulness will be tremendous ly decreased if we retain the old gar bage collection system. " "Municipal collection can be in stalled at reasonable cost and cheaply maintained. . The expense will be much less than now with the ineffective sys tem which we tolerate. I can prove that this.!ls so and I wtlL Meanwhite It will be a -shame to allow plans for municipal collection to falter. I . am on this Job every, day and Z realise the neeH for . change now." , night In honor of the manufacturers j and exhibitors who .will participate in the Manufacturers1! Food and Industrial Exposition at the Armory September 12 to 24. Nearly three hundred merchants and manufacturers were present, and addresses were made by those present In a boosting spirit for the success of the show. y Director General A. A. Tremp, of the exposition, in- bis report stated .that every available nook of exhibit space at the Armory had been .sold, and he was forced to refuse many large exhib its, as there was no room left He stated that he hoped Portland would build an auditorium in' time to hold next year's exposition, explaining in de tail how a building of that kind would benefit the city. The coming manufacturers' T"ood and Industrial Exposition -here will be com plete in every detail, and will be a rev elation to the thousands that will at tend. An elegant program has been arranged for the two . weeks. Chief -among : the attractions , will ; be the queen s contest Oregon .Day, Wednes day, September 14, will bring hundreds of visitors to the city,, as every mer chant in the state has been invited to attend the exposition ; on that day to be guests df the Portland association.

OJfCE MOBS WXLIi AXTD STRONG. Mrs. J. H. Smith, Kokomo, Ind., writes us this, with credit to Foley Kidney Pills: "Some years ago my kidneys be gan to trouble me and though I doctored them constantly, they kept growing t worse. I had severe pains in my back, . felt tired all the time, my bladder acted irregularly and with much pain, and I ' arose with dull headaches, and dizziness. Finally I was persuaded to try Foley Kidney Pills, and now I am once more well and strong. I gladly recommend them to others with kidney and bladder trouble as a quick and permanent cure."

Its furnaces were filled to bursting and garbage was piled to the eaves on the upper floor. The tops had been re moved from the furnaces. As fast' as the garbage below burned more was thrust in. Dense clouds of acrid, stif ling smoke poured from the vents, giv ing the building the appearance of a house afire. In this mass of malodor ous heat,, men were tolling, . drawing loads of garbage from the constantly arriving wagons, packing the stuff In to the ' furnaces and every few minutes compelled to run into the open to draw a few breaths of fresh air Into lungs which .seemed ready to burst in the heat and smoke. Incinerator Overtaxed. "That is the .way we work every day," said Mr. Napier. "The incinerat or is built to burn 25 tons of garbage a day. Monday we burned 62 tons and today (Tuesday) we will burn 56 tons. To keep this old ramshackle plant so eontlnuously going under triple pres sure is a terrible strain. But it has to be done. I'll tell you why. 'The health officer makes to no part of the city so many trips as he does to the neighborhood in the vicin ity of this garbage Incinerator. It Is because for years the supply of garbage has been twice as much as we could burn. It has gone on the dump that has been gradually built into Guild's lake and constitutes several acres of made land. Myself and my men, with Tjrsw 1 1 ft Do You Want to Save 1CDO In Buying a Piano? You wouldn't knowingly throw away a hundred dollars. Yet if you buy one make of piano without investigating others, you are likely to do that very thing. v,Ve would not advjse yoii to sacrifice musical worth to save money. That never pays. But investigate! The chance of saving $100, or of getting an instrument worth $100 more, whichever way you view it, is surely worth the trouble of a lit tle investigation. ?'
