YEAR ARE ANNOUNCED
fly Ralph J. 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.

Workmen are clearing away tho

is thought that it would be possible

decided not to rush this piece of work. ;
One of the most attractive stretches
of the highway from a road construc

successful. It was found that a tour

The demonstration proved that the ri

Hudson Vision Becomes Reality
THE Hudson has reached a long-sought
goal in the Super-Six. 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.

80 More Reserve Power

at Detroit
REMEMBER that rir&U matt dis
credit the Hudson Super - Six.
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

The recent trip of Portland business

'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

of the exlatinj road. ,

the Super-Six is the smooth

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
