Al though last year the list was not for mally opened until January X, manu- faoturera and other prospective en trants have displayed so much interest in the coming event that it was deemed advisable by the 'Speedway manage- tion by securing entries as early as pos- Bible. The list will close May 1. There is no doubt that the event .. scheduled for 1914 will eclipse every other ''race meet held on the Indianap , oils oval, the last race having served to stimulate interest in the speed sport to an unusual degree. Scores of letters have been pouring Into the Speedway office from every part of Europe and America and from present Indications it would seem that American manufact urers will make a determined effort to Win- back the honors won during the last euu mm race oy juies uouxt ma frenchman, while the Europeans are ' equally determined to retain the world's peed honors for another year.

In furtherance of the Howard service long since installed by the Howard Au tomobile Co., Pacific coast distributors for Bulck and National cars, a unique school was held in this city during the last part of the week.. A stripped, chassis of a Model-24 1914 Buick roadster fetpod In the show room of the Howard Automobile Co., and the mechanical , workings of the entire car, together with the Delco generating, lighting, starting and igni tion system, were shown-In detail. Gathered about the chassis were a number of the agents of the Buick throughout the Pacific northwest, or their representatives, the local sales men of the company and a number of prospective Buick buyers residing In and about Portland. The instructor of the school was Fred Gross, who In company with Claude A. McGee, broke the roa'd record from San Francisco to Portland. Gross bad returned to San Francisco but two days before undertaking the record breaking trip, and had just come from the factory at Flint, Mich., where he spent Several weeks' thoroughly fa miliarizing himself with the new cars, and more particularly with the new electric equipment, the Delco system, with which all 1914 cars are equipped.

Mayer, manager of partment United States company. tire de Rubber Trade papers and leading dailies throughout the country published not long ago a news item from England to the effect that Knight sleeve valve motors were being used with success in London omnibus service a service notably severe. Added Interest In ve hicles for ths service has been arouRcd by the recent BritiBh Commercial Ve hicle show, where many types of motor busses and char-a-bancs, or sight seeing automobiles, were exhibited. Reporting the show In Its August 7th issue, The Automobile, one of the .lead ing British trade papers, reviews the 'various types of busses and remarks on the number which are equipped with the Knight type motor, adding the fol lowing significant comment: 'While on this subject it is worth while to state that, according to defin ite news published today, the big Lon don General Omnibus company, which has 2600 motor omnibuses on the Lon- aon streets, dob open so tnorougniy satisfied with the service given by' the 300 Knight rigged Daimler busses which have been running for 12 months past that they have decided to replace grad ually, all the poppet engines in their 800 busses with Knight motors. The palmier busses in question are greatly favored by the public on ac count of their silence and smooth-running qualities, while the great power of acceleration enables the driver to pick hie way through traffic to the very best advantage, with the result that the Knight motor has now been selected as standard-for future work. In view of , the fact that the dally run of a London j uus is iiv iiiiini i very strenuous work, It must be admitted that the sue cess achieved here Is very notable Indeed."..- .. i-. WhUa motor omnibus service has not raached the proportions in the United States that It has In England and on ' the Continent, the Knight 'type motor', has proved as successful in pleasure car service here as abroad. More tlmn two years ago the F. B. Stearns company of Cleveland displayed their faith In the sleeve valve principle by discarding the poppet valve motor entirely and adopt-, ing the Knight type, despite the envia ble ' reputation built Up by the old Stearns motor. AUTOMOBILES GREAT BENEFIT TO RAILROADS Farms far Distant from Sta tions now Produce In creased Freight, "If the automobile has, in a manner. nerolexed the railroads of the country. in lessening their receipts from passen ger traffic, It has benefited them greatly by opening up hitherto undevel- nnnri terrltorlen ami thtm freight traffic," said F.

'.'it '"'': called to my attention statements mado by Newman Erb, one of the keenest flr.ifnclal men in the country, in wheh the automobile was given due credit for the good it has accomplished. Mr. Erb declared that $2,000,000,000 was a con servative estimate of tire Increased value of form lands, due directly to the automobile. 'A few years ago, farm lands which were locatsd near the railroads were worth about $75 an acre, where the land 2Q miles back could hardly be sold at $10 an acre. .With the introduction of the automobile, however, the latter land was brought within a few minutes' run of tho railroads and its value has In creased tremendously because of this fact. The farmer who owns an auto mobile and lives 20 miles from a ship ping point l today as close to the markets of the werld as la the man whose land Is wlthn' three or four miles of the railroad. The automobile will make the run to the shipping point In l?ss time than horses take to cover three or four miles. "Besides eliminating distance as It has, the automobile has wpiked an otner tremendous influence for good in the agricultural dstrlcts of the coun try by demanding good roads. It Is un iversally acknowledged that good high ways mean Increased prosperity for the farmer, and wherever automobiles are owned there will good roads be found as soon as they can be built. Many short-sighted people have claimed that the purchase of an automobile by a farm- er Is an extravagance. I maintain that It is one of the most foresighted economies he ever Introduced and I think the majority of the successful farmers of the United States will agree with me." formation was disseminated by "Profes sor" Qroes. Mr. QroHS took the train Sunday night for San Ifranclsco, where he will hold school on Wednesday and Thurs day of this week,, before going; on to the Los Angeles branch of tho Howard Automobile Co. for a similar purpose.
