ROAD RACE CHAMPION PAYS PORTLAND III Among the visitors to Automobile row in Portland this week, was Edward J Lyon,- an amateur driver of Imperial county, California, fresh from his vic tory In the Imperial valley road race. . whloh was run on July 4. Mr. Lyon i drove a 1909 40 H. V. Kulok roadster, I defeating a field of 11 entries, only four ot which finished. A 80 11. P.

Th8 ' sand -was deep In many parts of the , road and the 208 miles was aooompllshod In five hours, 17 minutes and so sec onds, " The winning car had ben driven over 80,000 miles before It was enter.-. 1 In the race, and the to, which finished sec ond, bad a mileage of 12,000 miles. Mr. Lyon won $2600 as his share of the purse. A E ( In automobile parlance the Lord's ; prayer has been revised by C. H. King, sales manager of the H L. Keats Auto company, and Is offered by Mr. King somewhat after the following manner: V "Teach us to drive through llfo with out Skidding Into other people's business. Preserve our brake lining, that we may slop before we are ditched. Help us to find the knocks In our own motors and barken not so much to the clashing of the other man's gears. Teach us that lying about sales Is not salesmnn- . ship. Lead us not into the temptation ef Joy riding with other men's wlvrs. If rrrrttie-WTeirr Tfrcnr T.J-aflr 4s' tlgM es we Would like to have the screw in tur eutomobtlta, and never let us over look the fact that people who live In i amllne nouses should not throw lighted io niche around other people s houses." MANAGER RESORTS TO BIBLICAL PHRAS Route ot run to Qrasham and Local Agent Much Elated Over New Arrangement for the Haynes Cars. 3. C Peck, the Portland agent for the Haynes Automobile company, -is very much elated over the fact that the San Francisco agency for the r6aynes cars has been turned into a direct factory branch. This will enable Peck to ob tain parts In Portland on telegraphic or der In from two to three days, as well us assuring the local agent a supply of cars upon'much shorter notice than If he had to send the orders to tne ractory and await shipment. W. C. Cochran, president of the Haynes Auto Sales company, distrib utors of Haynes cars for the Pacific coast, has Just returned from a confer ence with the officers of the company at Kokomo, Ind., and as a result of that conference, Cochran states in a letter to Peck that the Haynes Motor Car com pany of Kokomo, has secured a majority of the stock of the Haynes Auto Sales company, of California, and that the San Francisco branch will be operated in future as a direct factory brajneh. Mr. Cochran has been retained by the factory as manager of the California branch. He also stated to Mr. Peck that it was his intention to visit the north west territory at an early date. The Portland agency of the Haynes company has recently moved Into one of the best and most up to date garages In Portland. located at East Eighth and Hawthorne and is now in a position to give cus tomers service second to none In Port land. Mr. Pejt deserves great credit for the success; he has mane wun the new line of cars in this territory, especially when taking into consideration the fact that his first shipment of cars did not arrive in Portland until the season had well advanced and all other lines rep resented here had bean on exhibition sev eral months before the Hayns can were received. In Bohemia a prooess has been per fected whereby paper Is spun into thread and woven into a substitute for Jute. MAY GEI PARTS IN PORTLAND BRANCH Can Men Be Fooled On Tires? Are 200,000 Mistaken? That is the crux of the question. - Some 200,000 motor car owners have tested out oyer 1,250,000 Goodyear tires. One-third of all cars are equipped with them. As a result, No-Rim-Cut tires now far outsell every other tire. And the sale doubles every eight months. Does this type really save half on tires? Or are all these men mistaken? Now the King of Tires No-Rira-Cut tire now hold, by long odds, the topmost place in Tlredom. The demand today Is 12 times larger than three years ego. And a monthly output of 100,000 falls to supply the call. Just because the hosts of users tell what these tires have dono. What They Save No-Rlm-Cut tires our patent typo make rln-outting forever impossible. Old-type tires may be wrecked In a moment, If punctured and run flat. And under-inflatlon may lead to rim-cutting.

PORTLAND BRANCH Phones Pacific, Main Sandy river,, picked by The Journal DEMAND AT BY FARMER mm Evidence of a rapidly Increasing de mand for automobiles by farmers and mere hants of t he - great northwest -and an ultimate market far in excess of the present, is furnished by E. E. Gerlinger, agent for Stoddard-Dayton motor cars In Portland. Gerlinger said the demand for relia ble small cars Is growing beyond the capacity of the manufacturers to meet it and that 80 per cont of the cars sold In Portland and vicinity were machines selling for 912 or under. "The present market Is no compari son to what It will be in a year or two," said Gerlinger: 'There are now about 9300 registered cars in the state of Ore gon. The farmers and merchants throughout the northwest are prosper ous and they will buy thousands more. The wheat crop is better than any in history; the lumber business is thriving but the companies cannot get cars enough to haul the timber. The salmon fishing industry has never been better." AUT0ISTS REWARDED FOR THEIR HONESTY Diogenes' search for an honest man would be out short 1f,the 60,000 mile Maxwell Motor club existed In his' time. No less than 20 candidates for the club made oath of a mileage Just under 50,000 and received silver medals, when a-' few miles more would have gained gold medals for them. However, It Is said that honesty is its own reward and In this case the proverb holds true. All have received ..silver medals and In a few weeks they will get the gold medals, too. NEW NATIONAL WILL BE SHOWN IN SEATTLE Manager Mel G. Johnson of the How ard Automobile company, left Tuesday for Seattle, where he will spend Potlatch week, showing the 1913 National in the sound city for the first time. Mr. Johnson was accompanied by Frank Nichols, the National driver, who will demonstrate the car. Statistics show that 23 percent of all ruined clincher tires are rim-cut. 10 Oversize Then No-Rlm-Cut tires are 10 per cent over the rated sixe. And 10 per cent oversize, under average) conditions, adds 25 per cent to the tire mileage. It saves the blow outs due to overloading. Thus these two average savings total 48 per cent. That's why all men who try them recommend these tires. And 200,000 use them. Ask some of these users about them. Our 1912 Tire Book based on 13 years of tire making is filled with facts yoa should know. Ask us to mail it to you.

"The Portland" automobile Sealers are becoming very hilarious over the plonlo to be given in their honor by the rubber and accessory dealers of the city. Mr. Stanley Clemens, of the Chanslor & Lyon company, has been appointed chair man of the committee of arrangements to look after the procuring of lunch. Charlie Mead of the West Coast Supply company has been made chairman of tne committee on arranging an athletlo pro gram. It is understood that the ath letics will consist of running races, shot putting, tug of war, tat men's race, and all other forms of manly sport known to the noted college men among the tire fraternity. Mr. Wright, of Ballon A Wright, is chairman of th committee on attendance. All those intending, to take , advantage of thtsj opportunity., of securing "a proper adjustment f rom the tire men should notify Mr. Wright at least three days in advance of the plo nlc in order that he in turn may see that the necessary information is given the chef de Clemens. It is sadly re membered by a few of those. Who reached Estacada late last year, that the good things had all disappeared when they arrived and It was necessary to get lunch at the hotel. August 4 is the date selected for the 1912 outing, and Estacada Park will be used as picnic grounds aga! this year. The road to Estacada has been much improved this year and the trip can easily be made In an hour and a half. The part to be played In the picnic by1 the dealers will be to furnish machines enough to get the rubber and accessory men to and from the picnlo grounds. Of course if the entertainment is not up to what the dealers think it should be, demon stration prices will be charged the tire men for the return trip to Portland. We trust there wilt not be a lot of knockers and kickers this year as has been the case in previous years on occasions of this kind. Let everybody join hands and make Portland's outing day bigger ana oeiier lain me L,oa Angeies ailair.
