The automobile has supeyded th.e
horse as the farmer's be;t friend. Thin
Is evidenced by the evfr Increasing

one of the biR fa' tors in the automobile
business.

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. It tells how
the habit of smoking, chewing or snuff
taking can be conquered la three days.

The members of old company O. 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

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

Company G still lives in the hearts and
memories of the men who signed its
muster rolls. In 1908 Its Twenty-fifth

The salesroom of the Covey -Motor
Car company has reminded one of a
moving picture theatre during the last
week. 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.
