TSCJs - The automobile has supeyded th.e horse as the farmer's be;t friend. Thin Is evidenced by the evfr Increasing ii:mh-r of curs sold li the rural dis tricts. Manufacturers of medium priced mo tor cars are finding a ready market for chclr product in the vast farming sec tions of the country, and the purchas ing power oT these nun of the soil Is one of the biR fa' tors in the automobile business. Official of th- Overland declare that fully ;f) per rent of IIhb enormous out put will he Fohl to the farmers.

"The transition from horse to auto mobile is patent to all who hive at tended the county falls this fall, or any ether centers where farmers congre gate. Not co many years ago the ap pearance of a motor car at one of these meetings was the signal for all hands to gather round in wonder. It Is safe to t:;iy tli'it lev of those present would trade a little horse, or buggy for two uf l tie horseless carriages.

Also there Is no dls rounting the fact that stability and iconomy, two factors considered abso lute essentials hy most farmers, are es ptntlally Overland advantages. I RUCK CUMBS TO CLOUDS WITH LOAD Few people realize that there Is a road in California which reaches an novation of apprdx imately 10,000 feet, feet to he exact, and the few that .In know of such a road, would hesl t tt" n lonjr time before starting to :lirnh to such an elevation with atruik rarrjini; more than a full capacity load. Just such a trip was made last r eek, however, rvnd according to the rrew who piloted the truck and its 2000 pound load on the climb to the clouds, there were no Incidents or hardships experienced that the truck fcas responsible for. The truck, a Buick. was In charge of fr'rank Murray and Claud McOee of the Howard Automobile company, Pacific roast distributors of Bulck cars and trucks. In speaking of the trip McOee says: "The Tioga Pass road Is not In shape t the present time, nor will It be in fthnpe at any time this season for . Icasant touring, but by the time the mow Is off the ground next year the road bed which is now being scraped nd graded should be In fair condition, twid no great amount of trouble will be pxperieneed by the average motorist In crossing the Sierras over this route. We had very little choice In the matter of routes. We had an order from a contractor In Mono county, Cal ifornia, for a truck and the order spec ified that the truck was to be delivered at the job within three days. A care ful perusal of tho etate map showed us that the Tioga Pass route was shorter hy about 100 miles than any. of the other routes, and while all the Information we were able to get on Tioga Pass was unfavorable, we de cided to try the short route. Wo had had considerable experience with the Bulck truck in mountain work, and were satisfied that It would take Its load any place that any pleas ure car could go. and 1 am not con vinced that It can go places that a pleasure car can't go. We climbed some grades on the trip that were Just about as steep ns the average car would climb under favorabfe condi tions, and we climbed them under any thing but favorable conditions. ' The worst grade we encountered had Just been graded and we were forced to climb about three-quarters of a mile through sand and dust 10 Inches deep. When one stops to consider that we bad a 2000 pound load, the wonder Is that we got through at all. No More Desire For Tobacco i Arthur Krouse is a locomotive flre fuan who has been using tobacco since he was a boy. About two years ago he began to have spells of Illness. His memory was getting very bad and his eyes bothered him a good deal, lie had tried in vain to conquer the habit until he got a certain book, aud now he la freed from the thralldom of to bacco and his health Is wonderfully Improved. Anyone who desires to read the book can obtain It absolutely free by writing to Edward J. Woods, 62 N. Station E, New York city.

Ore gon State Militia, and afterwards of the First Regiment Oregon National guard, will hold a reunion at the Ger man house. Thirteenth and . Main street, next Friday night, to celebrate the Thirty-second anniversary of the organization of the company. It is anticipated that there will be between 60 and 70 members present. Company G began its history on No vember 15, 1885, when t was mustered Into the Oregon State Militia, which was afterwards changed to the First Infantry, Oregon National guard. Louis C. Farrar was the first cap tain, A. J. Coffee was chosen first lieu tenant, and H. C. Johnson, second lieu tenant In 1887 Robert E. Davis was elected first lieutenant, and George T. Wlllett became second lieutenant Davis served until 18 s0, vhea f left the Lieutenant George T. Wilfett. state. He was succeeded by Lieuten ant Willett J- W. Xewkirk becoming second lieutenant. In 1895 Davis returned to Oregon and was again elected first lieutenant, Lieutenant Willett being transferred to the brigade staff. During 185 Captain Farrar removed to California and Lieutenant Davis succeeded him. Captain Farrar died In New York city on January 27, 1913, at the age of 67, and is buried in Greenwood cemetery, Brooklyn.. N. Y. Few men had a more magnetic personality than he, or ever served in the National guard more un selfishly and devotedly. The resignation of Captain Farrar and the succession of Captain Davis brought into tha office T. N. Dunbar, first lieutenant and second lieutenant Captain Robert E. Davis. F. L. McKenzie, who succeeded Xew kirk. who retired from the service. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American war in 1SS8 companies C and G were merged, with Captain Davis in command, T. N. Dunbar first and Mal colm Jaxnieson secend lieutenant Its career In the line of active duty as company E Second Oregon U. 8. vol unteer infantry. Is a matter of history. Company G still lives in the hearts and memories of the men who signed its muster rolls. In 1908 Its Twenty-fifth anniversary was celebrated with a re union and banquet and every year since that time on the third Friday of November the former members of old company G assemble.

Crowds have assembled there twice a day to listen to the lecture of E. P. Merrill, a noted engineer and official lecturer of the Cadlllao Motor Car company. Mr. Merrill is visiting all of the Pa clfio coast distributing points of the Cadillac and giving the public Infor mation regardlnr the development of the Cadillac 8. To illustrate the lec ture he used a cut-out chassis on which all of ihe working parts had been arranged so that the public could easily see them. "The steady growth In the demand for motor cars of the eight cylinder type a demand ftiat now can scarcely bt, supplied is. due to the fart that the eight cylinder car has been thor oughly tested in daily give and take service and Its merits exploited by sat isfied owners." says Mr. Merrill.
