First carload of Ford automobiles ever Bhlpped Into Central Oregon.
fhe first carload of automobiles ever
shipped to centrnl Oregon were sent to
Prlnevllle from Portland May 1, and ar
rived in that city on May 4.. They were
shipped from the local branch of the
Ford Motor Car company to V. M. Hath-
away.'.the new Ford aent at Prinevllle.
The Journal correspondent at Prlnevillo
reports that t.he carload 6f automobiles
was dlsposetl of within two days after
Its arrival In the. central Oregon dis
trict. Evidently the poople of that sec
,tion of the state are awakening to the
plesxurea of automobillng and the rep
resentatives of standard machines will
find a ready market for a portion of
their allotment of X91S models In a part
of the state that iuts heretofore been
dead field for motor propelled vehicles,
Much attention of late has been paid
to good roads tnrougn eastern uregon,
which no doubt accounts for the quick
sale of automobiles this early In the
season.

FREIGHT CARS I YEAR
with the 11S production season on
the home stretch, and the year's output
of 1,000 cars fast becoming a matter of
sales record, the Bulck Motor company
- gives out a few Interesting facts con
cerning; the workings of Its trafflo de
partment
Fifteen thousand cars were handled
In the factory yards during the year,
Inclusive of the IS tralnloads sent to
the west Outgoing cars numbered
7600, and incoming freight 8000 car-
loada
The company has comparatively re
cently Installed a new system whereby
a dispatcher is put In charge of all In
ter-factory deliveries. He sits all day
a telephone receiver clamped to his ear,
directing the drivers from one loading
station to the next There are 22 motor
trucks and 10 horse-drawn vehicles al
ways on the Job, and It Is estimated that
the system as worked out by w. H. Mc
Cloud, traffic manager, saves the com'
pany in the neighborhood of 1100,000 a
year.
Four switch engines are kept all day,
and two all night, shunting: cars and
making up trains in the yards. Three
transfer cars are kept busy at the mo
tor building; for loading during the day,
and at night they are rolled up to the
dock at the assembly plant.
"Bill McCloud" has two shirts, two
tooth brushes ,and two pairs of pa-
Jamas. One lot he keeps at the office,
ready at an Instant's warning to Jump
to New York, Buffalo, Chicago, Toledo,
.pajroit, or anywhere else that some
bod or something threatens to do some
thing or not to do something that will
make him fall down on the Job. Last
winter he went to Chicago on a lB-min-
nte notice to get cars through a snow
blockade to take care of one of 'Train
load" Howard's shipments. He didn't
have his clothes off for 86 hours. He
went right out In the Chicago yards
with a shovel in one hand and a pad
dle In the other, and for u Hours at a
stretch rode the cars and bossed the
boss and the boss' men. But he got the
cars, and the shipment went through on
schedule time.

Prices for Use of Kerosene.
The Chambre Syndicate de l'Industrle
du Petrole of France has decided to of
fer two prizes of $1000 and $50 re
spectively in a competition to arrive at
the best means of utilizing kerosene in
automobile engines without the assist
ance of gasoline for starting purposes.
The trials will be conducted under the
auspices of the Automobile club de

Doubt m to Date of Paris Show.
The question of holding the Paris
i abeyance owing to the difficulty of
K ecuring the Grand Palais at that period.
, The proposition of reducing the duration
,or tne snow rrom is days to 10, ad
vocated by, the manufacturers, is mfeet-
' lng with some opposition on the part
of the exhibition committee, on the
' ground that it will curtail the receipts.
i On the other hand the prospective ', ex-
, hlbltors maintain that there should be
a .corresponding decrease In expense. A
' further suggestion Is made that the
'show be open In the evening 'until 7:30
Instead of closing at fi as formerly, this
giving business people an opportunity
to ..Inspect the models without Inconvenience.
Few People Own Cars in Bordeaux.
The population of Bordeaux. France,
is 262,000, and of the department of
Qlronde, 829,000. Including Bordeaux
and Its surrounding territory the popu
lation is 3,200,000. Possibly .-One-tenth
of the population possesses the means
to Indulge In motoring in the sense of
continued proprietorship of a car. This
would provide for about 60,-000 cars.
There Is a fair number of pleasure mo
tor vehicles in 'the cities, but touring
despite the excellence of the French
roads, has not come tnto such a general
favor as In the United States. There Is
no prejudice against American machines
as such because the people of the dis
trict know nothing of them. The only
inducement Tor them to purchase an
American car would be the establish
ment of a stock and repair shop on the
grouna ana ready ror business, some
thing- which does not now exist

AUTO BUILDINGS
ARE SCARCE HERE
E, H, Whiteside Has Trouble
Finding Suitable Place for
Lincoln Agency,
First class buildings to house the
Portland automobile Industry are be
rcommg very scarce, according to E. H.
Whiteside, proprietor of the Valley Mo
tor Car company or Salem. Or., who has
been In Portland during the last week
endeavoring to lease a suitable build
ing in which to open salesroom and
service department for tha Lincoln Mo
tor saies company, a new light delivery
wagon that Mr. Whiteside has Just
taken the Oregon distribution of.
Accompanying; Mr. Whiteside was B.
F. Taylor, vice president and reneral
manager of the Lincoln Sales company
of Los Angeles, who states that his
company will establish branches at all
Important cities throughout the north
west in order that service may be had
on their trucks at all times.
The Lincoln truck is manufactured in
Chicago, and is of the half ton capacity.
This sute truck at a reasonable price
will no doubt prove very popular in
this territory.
The factory has Just made a train-
load shipment to the Pacific coast, said
to be the largest single shipment of
trucks ever made. Three carloads will
be diverted to Portland for the new
Whiteside agency, and should arrive
here in time to open for business about
June 10.
Mr. Whiteside is one of the best known
automobile men in Marlon county, hav
ing: handled the Ford, R. C. U. and Oak
land with great success. He states that
he has had his eye on the Portland field
for some months and thinks there is a
great market In Portland and Oregon
for a small truck such as the Lincoln.

Trucks Stand 'At The Top
They stand at the top of the list and take the top of any hill
you put before them. They can't help it they're, built that
way. Their four cylinders with 4x54 bore and stroke give
them power enough to pull most any load anywhere. The

The cradled radiator and the 4-inch sub-frame under power
