By Ralph J. Staehll.
In a 1000-mile tour of central and
eastern Oregon, whlrh ended with a
trip down the Columbia river highway
to Portland, the worst piece of road
encountered In the entire distance wad
I'ftwe-n Hood River and The Dalles,
according to R. P. Henderson. Mr
Henderson represented the Cole Motor
jir company on the tour of Idaho and
Oregon .state officials who went to
Malheur lake to inspect nitrate and
-pot n.Kh deposits.
Air. Henderson I the kino" of a man
you admire, lipcaimc lie frankly said the
roads were not all good a.nd that Home
of them were pretty bad.
Calls Highway Oreatest.
That's why It wan more appreciated
when he Bald the Columbia river high
way In Multnomah county In the grand
est drive in the world. On first
thought lie said there wan only one
that could e(iial It and that was along
the Hudson river. He even went back
on that UK he talked of the day's won-
flers, and when ho had reviewed all
Jiin surprises and pleasures of the day,
he barred the Hudson from eompe
tl( Ion.
Mr. Henderson says that the part
from the county line taut should re
reive, Home attention tMvause of the
road's standing as an economic factor
in the state It is the one pass through
the mountain and as such deserves
more attention from the public.
Three Oolaa Carried Party.
The Col representative started
from Caldwell, Idaho, with Harry A
Wilson, vice president and general
manager of the American Nitrates
company; Thomas V. Cole, president
of the, Klrat National bank of West
Pullman, Chicago; James H. Hawley.
ex-governor of Idaho; Hen W. Olcott
secretary of state of Oregon; Thomas
B. Kay, Btate treasurer of Oregon; C.
B. MoConnell of Hums, and Italph A.
Watson of The Journal.
The party left In three big Cole cars.
1 Wu of them eights and the other a
big nix. The first leg of the Journey
was to the Snake river ferry at Home
dale and from there to the Huccor
creek nitrate camp. Their next leg
wmi to Ontario by way of Nyssa, a
' stretch of f0 miles, which was covered
In about three hours, as stops were
made to Inspect certain properties.
On Car Lost In Desert.
Cine of the cars became lost and took
a desert trail Instead of ttie road. It
was some time before it was missed
and then Mr. Henderson started in pur
suit. In the chase he ran aver a badger
that was a real prize for size.
That day. with but 87.5 miles cov
ered, was the most strenuous of the
week and was a test of cars and men.
The next step was to Beulah and over
the mountains to Rurns. where the
members of the party were the guests
of the town.
T.he Cole party arrived In Crane In
time to have a hand in the celebration
attending the arrival of the first pas
senger train, which had come over the
extension of the Union Pacific. Gov
ernor Wlthycombe was almost lost but
arrived In time to make a speech.
The next points of interest were Har
rlman and Malheur lane.
County Impresses Visitor.
Mr. Henderson was very much im
pressed with all that country and Its
wildness. He thinks that every Port
lander or tourist ought some time to
make a trip to that section. Ideas of
apace and the great out of doors un
dergo a rapid change, he said.
On the lakes of the section visited
great flocks of game birds were feed
ing or flapping their wings Idly as
they scurried away from the Intruders.

Henderson considered the trip very
successful. This is the second time
that new Cole cars have been given
this sort of a baptism. It being about
two years ago when the factory sent
out a crew of engineers with instruc
tions to break a car up If they could.
Teat Shtiefles Auto Kan.
This test of last week was not an
exceptionally hard one, but Mr. Hen
derson was satisfied after It was over,
that the car was built to meet road
conditions of thetest.
The sales manager of the Indian
apolis makers says that factory condi
tions are still such that production has
to stand the greatest pressure from
every point. The Cole, in spite of the
tight market, has been able to buy all
its materials for the year to come and
is now prepared to make double the
number of eights that were produced
last year.
The Cole that Mr. Henderson piloted
will be shipped back instead of going
over the road. The visitor saw Port
land In a hurry and Jumped on an east
bound train, after spending about 24
hours In mad racing to every point
of Interest around here. While here
h? was the guest of F. W. Vogler. pres
ident of the Northwest Auto company.
Good Roads Vital.
"The unimproved hle-hways are the
weakest element today from the stand
point of the military transport." said
P. 8. Bond, major, corps of engineers,
IT. S. army, in a recent declaration in
favor of better American roadways.
"America has the railroads," continued
Major Bond. "It has the autos and
auto trucks. Whether the latter can
be used or whether we must go bark
to the age of the mule whacker and
the dreary march on foot rests with
those who are responsible foi our high
way improvement."

The tables show that of 10.653 acci

8661, or more than 81 per cent, were
due to the fault or Incapacity of the
injured person, and only 700, or 6V6
per cent, to the fault of the driver.

caused 100 fatalities and injured 2341
persons, while motor trucks and de

177 fatalities and Injured 4688 persons.
The total number of persons fatally
injured in the year was 649 and the
number less seriously hurt was 21,891.
These figures, however, Include 4401
persons who sustained injuries in no

Portland automobile dealers and
their friends, the motor car owners
are to have a sociability tour next
week-end which will have as its goal
oeasiae. wnere tne wno:e town is go
ing to start something that will make
the motor army of close to 300 re
member the day.
The plan was broached at the deal
ers and turned over to a committee of
which A. S. Robinson of the Kissel
Kar is the chairman. With him are
H. L. Keats and C. M. Menzies and
yesterday they announced their tenta
tive plans.
The tour .starts any time Saturday,
just whenever the motorist can get
his desk cleared. Arrival in Seaside
Is on the same basis. It was planned
In this way 'because It was thought
that If motorists traveled Individually,
the dust on the road would be less.
Everybody Will -Skid."
Everyone is to join in the "Smooth
Tread Skid'' on Saturday night when
;i bte orchestra will draw out terpsi
chorean strains until early morn.
.iuoJt tne middle of the night, every
headlight in the party will be directed
into the sea and the dancers will then
run for the ocean and have a few
minutes to cool off.
Next morning's program will depend
somewhat on the outcome of the con
ference with the Seaside committee
and the people who are to help at the
coast. It has been suggested that Sun
day morning, every one in the crowd
go to Cannon beach for breakfast and
an early one at that.
Kaces Will Be Fiahy.
Then back to Seaside where the
crab race, th clam diggers' race, the
periwinkle race, the shrimp race and
the lobster race will take place.
Still another big feature Is now In
the hatching. City dads at Seaside
are scratching their heads and the
"live ones" are in league with the
automobile committee. This event
promises to be the biggest of the morn
ing. What it is is another secret un
til after the conference with the of
ficials. This will be the first big party to
make the beach tour this year and mo
torists generally are flocking to be
one of the crowd. Seaside and Clat
sop beach generally are anticipating
it as the biggest day of tho ear.
cluslvely that the most effective ways
of reducing the number of highway
accidents are to provide playgrounds
for children and keep them out of the
streets and to educate pedestrians of
all ages to observe as much caution in
crossing the streets as drivers observe
in handling their vehicles, whether
horse drawn or motor driven.
The record Is taken to ehow the fal
lacy of 'attempting to reduce accidents
materially by requiring all operators of
motor vehicles to be licensed, while no
such regulation Is applied to drivers
of horse drawn vehicles.
Even more evident Is considered tho
usefulness and unfairness of enact
ing ordinances requiring the fitting of
safety fenders to motor trucks, which
caused less than half as many acci
dents as horse drawn wagons. Street
cars, which are equipped with fenders,
killed 77 and injured 1694 persons dur
ing the year, as against 105 killed and
1107 Injured by motor trucks, although
there were only 12,000 electric street
cars In operation in the city, including
subway and elevated cars, as compared
with 12,575 commercial motor vehicles,
which were not fitted with fenders.
In Norway there is being built a
plant that will produce 4000 tons of
aluminum annually.

Unusual Profits Encouraging
the Producers, So Reduc
tion Is Likely.
There is encouraging news for mo
torists from the oil fields. The high
price of gasoline Is having Its predict
ed effect increased production of oil.
But no one predicted that exploration
and development would become so ac
tive that May of this year would make
a new record in the number of wella
completed.
It is estimated, according to returns
received by the Oil, Paint and Drug
Reporter, that during the month of
May the number of completed wells,
both oil and gas, Is the largest ever
reported in a single month since Colo
nel Drake first discovered mineral oil
In Pennsylvania. The Increase in com
pleted wells is placed at more than
580, as compared with the returns for
April, when the first rush of new drill
ing began, as it was not only until then
that country roads berame in condition
