i
such is the decision of i
Price, and
It brings back to the Keats organiza
tion the remembrance that, the Chal
mers was selected as being the most
popular car exhibited at the Portland
Automobile show for the year 1910.
During that season the Western Motor
car, a publication published at Seattle
offered a cup for the most popular car
on exhibition, the public to vote on the
question. The Chalmers received more
votes than any other car in the 1910
show and was therefore awarded the
trophy. Mr. Keats haa the big silver
cup on Ms desk and often points to it
with pride when speaking of the Chal
mers to his friends.
Contrary to the general belief that
prevailed at the time when it was an
nounced that Mr. Price had won the
credit slip. Mr. Price has been a mo
torcar owner and driver for several
years, and during that time has be
come as efficient In automobile lore
aa la generally the case of car owners.
Therefore his selection of a Chalmers
doea not come from one who knows
nothing of an automobile.

Firestone poeple have opened two new
branches in this territory! during the
past 60 days; one In Fresno, California.
To show the tremendous growth of the
Firestone company, tney were organ
lzed In 1900 as a Jobbing concern. Two
years later they went Into the manu
facturing business, and this year will
do a business of more than $18,000,000.
They have had to enlarge their plants
several times, and have Just recently
finished one of the most complete tire
building plants In America
Mr. Firestone left Portland the later
part of the week to pay a short visit to
Seattle before returning east.
AUTOMOBILE NOTES
The important factory tire men have
begun to make their annual pilgrimage
to the Pacific coast for the purpose of
enthusing thelr( branch managers for
. the coming touring season.
During the past week R. J. Fire
stone, sales manager of the Firestone
Tire & Rubber company, was a visitor
in Portland at the new Firestone
branch recently opened by J. W. Flem
ing. Mr.j Firestone is greatly surprised
to find I that Portland has gone ahead
so rapidly In the construction of new
bulldlngn during the past few years.
He titutcd to a representative of The
Journal that Portland seems to be In
a better business condition today than
any town of similar size that he haa
visltodjon his present tour.
The Pacific coast is the great field
for thie tire manufacturers, and the

Shorty Foley say: "1 see where
America spent $700,000,000 for auto
mobiles in 1913. This is only another
boost for the advertising! columns of
the North American." !
Motorists who Intend; to , drive
their cars south this winter are
warned to keep off Hampton Roads.
They are impassable this year.
President Wilson cut out the mint
bed and the wine cellar at the White
House, but he didn't tinker with the

Klamath Falls, Or., Feb. 14. Sports
men of Klamath county put the auto
mobile to novel use during the shoot
ing season when it is pressed into
service to carry the hunters and dogs
to the hunting grounds and what is
more to convey them and their birds
home at the erid of the hunt. In some
cases this is no mean task to impose
upon a machine, for when the shooting
i j good the nimrods return home far
from empty handed.
The season for all birds closed on
January 15 with the setting of the
sun, and from, now until next fall no
real sportsman will bring terror to the
members of the feathered tribe. The
shooting was good to the very close of
the season. It was not an uncommon
sight to see. a party of hunters return
with a machine load of birds.
In the early fall the shooting was
confined largely to the marshes where
the native birds have their familiar
haunts. Later the marshes froze over
and the birds ' then took to the open
water. The last days of the season It
did not require a skilled marksman to
secure a goodly sized bag on Lake
Ewauna in a few hours' time.
. While the hunting season for the
past year is now confined to yarns of
successful expeditions, the fisherman
is having hls inning. The Klamath
lakes abound With trout and every day
scores of men,: and women too, -can be
seen fishing along Link river and
through the Ice on th Upper Klamath
lake, inose wno are oui ror meat
follow the less exciting sport of fish
ing through, the ice, while those who
find more pleasure in pursuit than in
possession confine their Waltonlan en
deavors to the rapids of the tumbling
Link. i

NEW HIGH SCHOOL
ISSUE AT WALLA WALLA
The, Motor Truck A Terminal com
pany 'of Los Angeles which will be
perhaps the largest general trucking
company In the United States has
bought in one block 50 Peerless, four,
five and six ton trucks for immediate
delivery.
This is one of the largest orders for
heavy; duty trucks -ever placed In the
United States. All of the trucks will
be delivered within 60 days and ship
ments' have already begun, according
to Information Just received by the
. local ! Peerless agents, II. L. Keats
St cp. ..
There was naturally a great deal of
competition on so large an order from
all the makers 'of well known trucks
and the Peerless was selected under
the direction of Joy Clark, general
manager of the company after exam
ining all the leading trucks made.
Thei Motor Truck & Terminal com
pany Is one of the properties of the
Perry; estate which owns the Los An
geles I Market - company. The market
company has a contract for provision
ing all the boats which enter Ban
Pedro; harbor 22 miles away, and the
trucks will be need to carry provisions
to the ships over 22 miles of finely
paved road.
Ben Johnson, president of both trie
market and trucking companies be
lieves that when the Panama canal is
opened the number of ships making
San. Pedro harbor will be increased to
the point where 60 trucks will be re
quired to take care of that one branch
of the company's hauling. Previously
shipments over this distance have been
made i by railroad.
In addition to that work the trucks
will distribute to the various commis
sion merchants and other large buy
ers aa average of 20 carloads a day of
nroduce which Is received by the Los
Angeles Market company for distribu
tion In the city.
The company will also do a truoking
business for Los Angeles Jobbers;
There are S80 miles of finely paved'
roads in the vicinity of Los Angeles
leading to Pasadena, San Bernardino,
Monrovia, Redlands, Riverside, Po
mona, Santa Anna, Whlttier. Long
Beach. Santa Monica and Hollywood.
Between these cities the trucks will
get a great volume of business in pref
erence to railroad shipment which ne
cessitates a great deal more handling
of goods, is slower and not any less
expensive.
There have been a number of small
trucking companies in Los Angeles
bidding for the -business of Jobbers
but they had very little capital and
Wire not able to render the service de
manded. Several of these have been
bought out and their trucks turned
into the Motor Truck & Terminal com
pany. With the arrival of the 50 new
trucks on the coast it will have 8J
trucks In service.
All of the trucks purchased by the
company are ordered with a draw, bar
attachment for trailers. It is the plau
to operate truck trains of two or three
trailers over the long Interurban
hauls. A service of his kind will prob
ably be established between Los An
geles and San Diego in the near future
This sale was made by Smith Broth
ers. Peerless dealers in Los Angeles.
