THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, TUESDAY EVENING. JANUARY C4, 1911. FRAKKLIN 1 II : AND VH1TE 5 TOM IMIIICUPS Quartet of Advocates of Good Roads Loads Carried at Cost of One I and Three Tenths, and Two v and Quarter. Cents Ton ,Mile, .in Journal's Contest. ' we White flvs ton (ruck, driven by Louis Stipe, and the Franklin one ton track, driven by Dick Schmalbbusen, won the cups In, The -Journal's economy run last Saturday, according to an an nouncement made y the Judges, J. B. Yeon, Lawrence Therkelsea and Ben Trenkman. tate yesterday afternoon.' , ftThe White truck in-Class A carried its five ton load over the (6 mile course at a cost of 1.9 cents per ton mile, while the Franklin carried, its iOOO pound load at 4. cost of S VI cents per ton mils. . . : .:"..-;,. ', 'Am runner-up in the two . divisions were the Kelly (Frayer-Miller) in the Class A and the Bulck light delivery In Class C. There was no contest In ' Class B, owing to the withdrawal of the two Orabowskys entered and the acci dent to the Stoddard-Day ton truck. . ',, . Square Seal Olvsn. t.' j.-X While the decision of the judges could not have Been made without causing some 111 feeling Imong the contests It Is believed that a fair basis awarding the cups has been found arid that every man has received-a square deal. The event was purely an economy contest and It was on this basis ttat the protests were decided. - Protests were entered Saturday night by Neate &-McCarthy, inc., agents for the Kelly truck, and by the driven of the Packard, Querln Bros., on the rlalm that the White should not have been awarded the cup owing to the act that it was late In reaching the controls. It had been Intended that time should be considered in the awarding of the tjupa and after due deliberation the Judges de cided that there could be no basis,, upon which -they could charge overtime for the handling of the trucks, but that the driver were certainly entitled to over time and accordingly trucks arriving, at the rfbon or evening controls late were fined at the rate of SO cents an hour. The Judges believe that in doing this they have reached a fair basis of penal ization. : Standing of Cars. In receiving this additional penalty the winning White gas car Is raised from 1.13 cents to 1.3 cents. The Kelly score remains the same, for this truck 'reached the controls on time in each in stance, besides traveling with a re markably low upkeep cost. Lack of ton nage was all that kept this car from winning. - The White gas car driven by Bender which finished third was in second place before and but .01 of a cent behind the winning White time. Pen alisation dropped It to third place with a cost of 1.68 cents per ton mile. The Gramm driven by Ray Short . remains the same in Its score, but comes from sixth to fourth place, while the two Packards dropped from third and fourth places to fifth and sixth. These two Packard s seem to have been the victims of a lot of hard luck. Sayre'e Packard slid off the road into the ditch on the Slough road and lost considerable time and gasoline in pulling out. ome Have Kara tuck. The other Packard, driven by Querln, was caught behind the Kissel Kar when Its troubles were thickest and was forced to haul this big truck out of the way before it could proceed. All this cost gasoline and with the scores so close as they were probably cost them better places In the final results. Further more these trucks were driven by ama teur drivers, and considering their in experience It must be said that they made a very good showing. Opposed to them were drivers of from four to 10 years' experience in the automobile game. The contest in the light division while not nearly as close as In the heavy -division, was close enough to be excit ing. The Buick and Franklin cars had a pretty fight of It all through the contest and It is only by .4 of a cent that the Franklin won the cup. Again it was repeated that the cars with the heavy tonnage were the winners. The Franklin had over a ton of pig iron In Us load: while the Bulck had but 1500 pounds. The Samson truck was but a .small percentage behind the Bulck and was a good third. Perfect Soad Scores. . Perfect road scores were made bv three of the five trucks in this light di vision as against one in the heavyweight division, the Buick, "Samson and Stod-dard-Dayton did not suffer a road pen alty, while the only point suffered in road scores by the Franklin came as tie result of the accidental stalling of his engine on tip hill. On the other hand, It must be said in Schmalhousen's favor, that he was ths only man to make .the Troutdale hill Without chains. In the heavy class the Kelly was the only car to come through the race with a perfect road score, the Gramm losing ' a point through having to take on water before reaching Oresham. The cars in the race were most of them equipped with Warner autometers and the Judges were thus able to keep close track on their mileage. ' The Journal extends its thanira in th. Judges In the contest, namely, J. , B. Yeon, Lawrence Therkeisen and Ben Trenkman, for the efficient and hard work they did, and also to H. B. Worth- en, the Of riclal starter; P. A. Combs, the clerk, and R. E. Blodgett and H. A. Burgess, inspectors. UPPER COLUMBIA ii iritis Hoped td Make River Navi gable as far as Kettle Falls ; During Summer Top E. Henry Wemme, Judge Lionel R.

Hay under the act Of 1S09, to look after the Improvement of the Upper Colum bia river has submitted its report show ing what has already been accomplished. The members of the commission are: A. W. .Anderson, senator from Stevens county; Fred McDermott; J. B. Valen tine; Herman Cornehl and J. W. Bryant. In brief the report states that tho commission has expended $20,000 ' for buying the steamer Yakima, the largest boat on the Upper Columbia, ai'd equip ment, and has an unexpended balance of over $13,000. The expenditures were divided as follows: V - . , Administration an incidental expen ses, $1134; material, supplies and equip ment, $26,837; labor, $8908; total, $36. $77. -- : - The Taklma has been2 loaned to the federal government and the commission asks to be contained In office for two years more, with an additional appro priation of $6000 to care for the boat and emergency expenses. Low water coming on the boat was tied up below Rickey Rapids for tlio summer. On an appropriation of $100, 000 In the rivers and habor bill of 1910 the federal government took over the state's equipment for 24 months to pro secute the work. 'Meanwhile, the coraralasion will char ter the steamer Charles Bureau and will proceed Immediately to reduce the shore rock at several 'dangerous points. The Taklma, .which was laid up here for more than a month undergoing a thorough overhauling Is once more at work aided by one barge that has Just been completed here. Both the Taklma and the barge are equipped with rock drills and derricks. Two other barges will soon bo ready for service and the work of clearing the channel will pro gress rapidly during the summer months so that the river as far up as Kettle . . II. 1 , 1 V.

S' While it Is true that too much weight Is not to be desired yet the fact remains that many men and women are thin to the point of danger. . This danger lies In their having no reserve force or nerve power to combat deadly diseases. A little extra flesh is needed by all to tael well and to look well, and-this calls tip the question of how best to Increase the weight1. Physicians and chemists, by experiments have solved the probi lem of Increasing the White and red corpuscles of the blood, by the adminis. tratlon of 3 grain hypo-riuclan tab lets, and this is always followed by an Increase of weight' Obtain In sealed 1 packages, and take for a period of sev- nerermtjirttit RoeordTTirto-tlireetTorig'WItB package. added emphasizing of the need for BMter highways In Oregon and of the advisa bility of adopting the five highway bills framed and submitted to the legislature by the Oregon Good Roads association. The plan of the day, as outlined by Judge Lionel R. Webster, Philip S. Bates and others at the special meeting of the good roads' association last night, is to appear before the senate sitting as a committee of the whole this afternoon. Judge Webster said last night that con siderable opposition of a certain kind might be expected in presenting the good roads cause, Objections Are Vade. Naarlv all the onsosttlon proclaims be lief In the need tat good roads, but each has' his own ideia as to the way the blUs should be Yrajhed.

The special meeting last nigni was one of the largest and most enthusias tic ever held by the association. The session was continued until a late hour reviewing plans of campaign and dis cussing the situation. Three bills were scheauiea ror xnira reading before the Senate today, the bill creating a Jiighway board and appoint ing a highway commissioner, and the two convict labor bills. The state aid bill and county bonding act are to come before the hous on inursaay. ana u said that the house will resolve itseir into a committee of the whole on that day to listen to a presentation of the merits of the measures.

At the conclusion of the executions it was learned that they were held with even more privacy than is usual. Only Judge Joachlro Tsuru who condemned Kotoku and his friends,-a half dosen prison officials and the necessary Buddhist priest, were present iTwo by two the condemned mounted the gallows and as fast as the life had fled they were carried into the prison dead house, whence their bodies prob ably will be taken to the University of Toklo 4o be used for purposes of dissection. The most affecting incident according to one of the officials who saw the So cialists die, was when Kotoku and the little woman who had shared his for tunes to death stood on the trap to gether. No black cap is used in the executions in Japan, and the pair, un like the other condemned, were per mitted to stand face to face on the "Courage," said Kotoku, as the rspe was adjusted, "we die for liberty." , Suga Kanno spoke no word, but she smiled, and with their eyes on each other and utterly disregarding the grim surroundings the two plunged to death. It Is said tonight that there Is a pos sibility that the bodies of the Socialists may be saved from the knife. The gov ernment, it la believed, will be satisfied with the death of the 12. and petitions by their friends to be permitted to give their bodies honorable burial will be presented and are likely to be granted. THE PIERS DIE IN DAY AT (Special Dlapatch to The Journal.) Dayton, Wash., Jan. 24. Three plo neers died here yesterday two of them Civil war veterans.

ASYLUM COMMITTEE IS HOME BUT 'SILENT H - The committee appointed by Governor West which went to Pendletcin,?,to in spect the site for the proposed asylum for Insane returned to Portland early this morning. Dr. Harry Lane, ex-superintendent of the asylum, and one of the committee, said this morning that the committee was bound not to give any information as to its findings un til after a report had been made to Governor West and the board of trustees of the asylum. The committee consisted of: Dr. J. F. Ca!breath ex-superintendent of the Central asylum at Salem; Dr. W. P. Wll- 'lamson, superintendent of the Mount Tabor sanitarium; Dr..

In the form of a letter to the East Side Business Men's club, that Senators Bourne and Chamberlain have arranged with the postofflce de partment to have mall for east side business houses arriving on the Shasta limited from California thrown off at the east side station. This will permit delivery of mall from the south on the east side in mid-afternoon. The East Side Business Men's club recently petitioned the Oregon senators to this affect. The change is to go Into effect January 26. Carriers for the business district of East Portland now leave station "A" on their last afternoon trips at 2:16. In order that they may receive the mail from the Shasta limited it will be nec essary to hold them until about 2:45, which will result In a slightly later de livery on the last afternoon trip. The train is due to pass East Alder street at 2:35 p. m., and it is expected it will require 20 minutes to take this mall to the station, distribute it to carrier routes and have the carriers arrange it for delivery. "In the event of the train being late," says the postmaster, "the wagon will wait 10 mlnuteB at East Alder street, which will mean that the carriers may be delayed In leaving the station on their last trip to as late as 2:65 p. m. If the train is more than 10 minutes late no attempt will be made to deliver the mall that day, as It Is lmpraolicable to hold the carriers at the station later than 2:65 p. m." This arrangement will result In the saving of practically a day in mall from California for east side business houses, sucn man arriving on tne Shasta lim ited not being distributed until the fol lowing day now. uup uanuapy uiearanoe aaie 01 PillowSlips, Sheets,Bed Spreads Never wag there greater sale of Domestic Goods and never wta there a greater response to a gal the offerings are unmatchable.
