Staehlt Three to six-hour trips are many and beautiful at this time of the year, but on that Is not often taken advantage of. and one which will be found ex ceptionally rich In landscape at this , season, was mapped out and covered by a Chalmers Blx-40, under the band ef J. H. Rabb of the Keats Motor Car company, who turned the nose of the car up the Germantown road toward Banks. The route ' leaves Portland via the Linnton road, still lining- the Twenty fourth street route, .owing; to the road repair on the road passing; the Forestry building. This work will be completed in a few days, but for a week or so autos should still make the detour, leaving .Thurman street at Twenty fourth and turning to the left at the end of that street. The Linnton road is then followed to Claremont. seven miles from Portland, and than begins the long ascent of the Germantown road until It crosses the bills which flank the Willamette river. Ylaw Is Pretty One. From that road can be had a charm ing prospect of river and lowland from between trees many of which are sev eral hundred feet high. The road climbs higher and higher until you are 1000 feet above the river level. Then unfolds the view that more than 'anything else makes the trip worth (while. Below are the fertile stretches , of the Tualatin valley, and far in the . distance is the purple hare whicn symbolizes the Coast range. You are '" high above- all surrounding country, and your view is over a vast basin half a hundred miles In width and cir cled by high mountains. As you descend Into this basin you roll through a npring-seented garden land Occasionally the machine brushes through a grove of tall dogwood trees, which seem to grow larger and have whiter flowers here than on any other trip. Koads Are Oood. Tou still shoot through an occasional grove of tall firs, the cooling freshness of whose shade gives you a momentary thrill before you again dart out on tho winding stretch of good macadam that leads through it. ore such stretches of many colored spring herbage. You roll over good roads a distance of H miles, and then you hit dirt that la firm and dry, with but an occasional rough spot. However, the road is good enough to make you want to follow in clination, and that Is to travel farther Jong the same road. At about this point you reach a sign-post which says. '-'To Oearhart and Seaside." That 'ma additional incentive; but, unfor- ' tunately, the roads farther over toward the coast are not yet open. The Chalmers Six rolled its way as far as Banks and found the road In excellent shape. s Drive Is Xssy. The trip is one of the prettiest that The Journal's pathflndlng service has taken, and especially comjnends Itself for a short, easy drive. Machines and teams are quite numerous on the Ger mantown road at times, and travelers are warned to sound their horns at aeh curve on the Germantown from Linnton up. Incidentally, as a demonstration of fiheer power, flexibility and ease of handling, the Chalmers Six did what Uidoubtedly is a stiff test for any car, l.oing the entire length of the German lown grade from Claremont to the irest on high gear. This is Just one procession of hair pin curves which demand a short turn ing radius and extreme flexibility on the part of the motor. D. C. Warren, head of th Warren Motor Car Co., at wheel of new series Telle, which waa just deliv ered to Dr. D. O. Webster. D. C. Warren, manager , of the 'War ren Motor Car company, is now show ing the new model Velie, the "Blltwel Six" at the show rooms of the com pany at 58 North Twenty-third atreet. The car is not a radical departure from the former models of the Velle com pany and is medium priced. .In appearance It la typical of the latest designs of the extreme stream line, with the unbroken slant from the radiator tip Jo the end of the tonneau. The body itself is of the newer de sign in which ti.e side panels are brought up and turned over to form the rail. The car is roomy and Is well upholstered in leather. The specifications read very well from the continental motor down to the minutest details. The motor, as the model name Implies, Is a six hav ing such features as a removable cyl inder head, helical gears, eliminating all chains; enclosed multiple dry disc clutch, Hotchklss drive, doing away with torque arm, Remy ignition and kindred high grades assemblies. The vacuum feed is employed. The springs on the. car are hand forged, long and underslung. The car per forms well on the roads and on the hills and In every way seem to atand up to the name that Velle established for Itself in tne past. The first shipment of the new aer ies has been placed locally, ail to men who have previously purchased cars from Mr. Warren. The deliver ies have been prompt In eplte of the car shortage and the local manager has several carloads more rolling and due with enough on hand here to take care of the demand. The Velie factories at Mollne, 111., have built another addition to take care of the demand created by the new sixes. Columbia Highway Work Being Rushed Xoadmaster Teon Trying- to Have Thoroughfare Beady to Opea at Time of the Official Dedication. Roadmaster Yeon is making a spe cial effort to have the Columbia river highway ready for its offlrial dedica tion during the Rose Festival. Workmen are clearing away tho small slides between Bonneville ajil the Hood River county boundary. tl ' is thought that it would be possible to have this sectUn paved by the flrsi of next month, but owing to the wet condition of the ground It has been decided not to rush this piece of work. ; One of the most attractive stretches of the highway from a road construc tion standpoint wiy be the figure eight section between hatourelle and Crown Point,, which will be finished by the end of the month If weather condi tions continue normal. In this sec tion the road will be paved to a widtn of 27 feet and bordered by a concrete curbing whose,, curved line gives a most graceful effect: The stretches of new fencing being erected at different points gives a feeling of security. Pending the construction of the Vis ta house" at Crown point, temporary comfort stations are being installed. These will also be put at Multnomah falls and Shepperd's Dell. Additional room for parking cars Is also being provided at Crown Point, Multnomah and Bonneville. An arrangement has been made with the Port of Portland commission for the use of a dredge with which tj pump sand out of the river at Mult nomah falls to level up the low ground and give more room for pub lic convenience. feasibility of putting ordinary touring cars to military use. A few days .ago an Overjand touring car was driven north of Columbus, N. M.. by United States artillerymen. A machine gun was mounted in the ton neau and targets were fired at. with the machine traveling and at a stand still. The test was reported to be very successful. It was found that a tour ing car was ifully as logical and as feasible as a truck for the purpose. The demonstration proved that the ri bration of a gun being fired does not swerve the aim a particle. In fact, the car barely Is shaken. The objection to cramped quarters was also conclusive ly dismissed when it was shown that four men could ride comfortably In the car with the gun, A Japanese newspaper man in Hono lulu has built a typesetting- machine with which It is possible to set the about 5000 characters used by Chinese and Japanese printers. The complete list of officers and committeemen who will be responsi ble for the affairs of the Portland Automobile club during the ensuing year, has Just been announced by President Overmire. The number of committees has been narrowed down to six, which will carry all the responsibilities of the club. The organization has broadened Itself along many lines and is now working on an extensive bulletin ser vice which wilr do much to exteni the propaganda of better roads and also to help membets make use of the club's road Information service.

Its discovery is the culmination of years of study and of effort. It is surpassing even the wildest dream of its inventors. Under the severest tests ever given a motor-car, it is daily prov ing its supremacy. Not a fault has de veloped in design or in construction. Not one defect can be found. Not one of the doubts of skeptics has the slightest 'ex cuse for existence. The Super-Six, in every detail, is all and more than we have claimed. Mi A I en are Jmazea President Sudson Motor Car Co.

This motor is a Hudson invention. It is controlled by Hudson patents. And it gives to Hudson vast advantage over any other car that's btrilt. Don't let the doubts expressed by rivals give you a wrong impression. The Super-Six is here. Any day, in 30 minutes, you can prove it out. Come and watch this car's perform ance, and let that form your judgment. 34 . P. ADDED A new principle is here applied to a light-weight, simple Six. Vibration, which caused friction in the motor, is reduced to almost nothing. This size of motor, at its best, used to deliver about 42 horsepower. In the Super-Six it delivers 76 horsepower an increase of 80 per cent. Think of that 80 mere reserve it runs at less than half load. That means a long-lived motor. WEAR ALMOST NIL This lack of vibration reduces motor wear enormously. Endurance has been almost doubled. One Super-Six stock car was run 7,000 miles at top speed over mountains and deserts. Another was run 1,350 miles on a speedway, at speed exceeding 70 miles per hour. No owner will ever tax his car like that. Yet no part or bearing, in either test, showed any discoverable wear. That is a saving which no man can overlook. AVOID REGRETS The Super-Six means new delights in motoring. The car' seems to move by magic. It means reserve power for any emergency. It means performance which no other car can match. fx Inland Empire highway system; heavy line shows short route be tween laid ma valley and Colombia river. The recent trip of Portland business fir.en to eastern Washington had the 'practical reault of emphasizing the fHCt that this rerlon is bv nature com- onercially tributary to Portland and all that .is necessary to develop trade re flations are better transportation fa cilities. t This can be brought about by river transportation supplemented by the jhlffhway. t . The accompanying map of the exist ing highway system In 'the Inland -empire shows that It converges at the lower end of the Yakima valley. NThence the main route leads from aiaoton into the Klickitat valley and to the Columbia through Goldendale. Ths advantag of this routs as an outlet from the Yakima country i that it taps nearly the entire valley and can be used all the year around If properly surfaced. A route to the westward would run through a higher elevation In the timber and be blocked by ,the winter snow. Another advantage la that there Is already In existence the foundation for a good road. With a comparatively small expenditure thia could be con verted Into a trunk highway. Lead ing out of Mabton a new grade would need to be constructed for a few miles in the direction of Blckelton. The re mainder of the new construction from there to the Columbia river at Mary bill would involve only improvement of the exlatinj road. , BB BB BB BB power without adding sire or cylinders. All because the Super-Six is the smooth est -running motor in the world. NO EVIDENT EFFOR T With this vast reserve power, no situation seems to call for effort. Hills and hard roads are made easy. One may creep on high gear, and Instantly dash to speed. One may pass any car he wishes. But the greatest advan tage shows at moderate speed. The motor is never taxed. At ordinary speeds All Other Cars Outrivaled At Sheepshead Bay, un der A. A. A. supervision, a even-passenger Super-Six stock car excelled all for mer stock cars in these tests. 100 miles in 80 min 21.4 sec., averaging 74.67 mile per hour, with driver and passenger. Standing start to 50 miles an hour in 16.2 sec. The car traveled 1819 miles in 24 hours at the rate of 75 19-24 mile per hour, smashed all long dis tance records. Tt means economy, en durance. It means satisfac tion, for the man who owns it has the greatest motor built. It means beauty and luxury, for the new Hudson bodies are masterpieces. Come and prove these facts to avoid regret. Come now if you want spring delivery. There is an over demand for the Super-Six, but cars ordered now can be delivered in time for the motoring season. 7-Pa8seng er Phaeton, $1,375 at Detroit.
