FuU Blood Indians
At" Work on Autos
The Willys-Overland Company Ha a
Score of .Bed Man Employed In Va
rious Capacities In Its Factory.
Almost on the very site of some of
the bitterest wars waged a century
ago- by his ancestors In defense of
their hunting grounds, the American
Indian today helps the pale face
build his "devil wagon.'f ,
Just a few miles from Fort Meigs.
Fort . Miami and some of the other
battle grounds of "Tippecanoe" Har
rison, "'Mad Anthony" "Wayne. Te
cumseh and.other warlike leaders of
another day. Is the main factory of
the -Willys-Overland company.
In this factory are a score of full
blooded Indians Chippewas. Navajos.
Iroquois, Pomos, Pueblos sent there
by Uncle 'Sam from their . western
reservations to Learn another of the
trades Of the white man.
And these Indians are taking to
their training like so many ducks to
water. They are very interested In
learning what makes the wheels of
the automobile go round.
One pair aids In chassis assembly:
another pair . assembles wheels; five
of them are engaged In final assem
bly, while still others work on run
ning boards, etc.
' Instead 1 of being confined perma
nently to one operation, they are
shifted every few months from task
to task, in order to give them a gen
eral' practical knowledge of motor car
construction, such as Is required by
good mechanics, garage men and au
tomobile repair men.
State Will Direct
Koad Work in Coos
A
Bum of $362,000 Will Be Expended;
County Divided Into Districts; Hoard
master Named a Aide.
The CoOs county court has turned
over to the state highway department
the superv ision of -the expenditure of
the $362,000, county bond issue. The
state mgnway commission .has ap
pointed County Roadmaster Murdock
assistant state highway engineer to
superintend the work.
The county has been divided in five
districts upon which the bond money
will be spent as follows:
Coquille-Marshfield road. $150,097;
Bandon-Curry county road, 166,237;
Coqullle-Mjyrtle Point road, $47,491;
Coquille-Bandon road, $49,616; Glas-gow-Haynes
slough-North slough road.
$60,989.
The total cost of surveying and In
spection Is estimated a.t 6 per cent
approximately.
A committee appointed by the Coos
jounty uood Roads association has
made an Investigation of the work
thus far done and has reported that
the bond money, thus .far is being
wisely expended and that the Interest
of the coynty is. being fully protected.
Individual members of the committee
say they have heard considerable com
plaint with reference to engineering
cost but in thetr opinion if the costs
of engineering and Inspection do not
exceed 6 per cent the amount is rea
sonable. The committee declared Itself to be
unqualifiedly In favor of centralizing
In the county court authority to carry
out a county road program and to
hold the county court responsible for
such, program.

Packard Aircraft
About Ready to. Soar
a 00 Horse Power Aircraft Kotor, Work
on Which Was Hastened on Aooount
of War situation. Is Blpe for TrialJ
The 200 horse power aircraft motor,
which the Packard company has been
developing In the past two7 years. Is
about ready to take flight. The
process of installing the engine in
specially constructed planes Is now
going on rapidly, and the first ascen
sion probably will be witnessed within
a fortnight.
Final work on the motor has been
hastened by developments In the in
ternational situation that may create
an urgent need for aircraft in America.
The flying tests of the new engine
will be made at the Joy aviation field,
nearrMt. Clemens, Mich., where there
are unusual facilities for trials over
both land and water.
W. B. Stout, chief engineer , of the
Packard aircraft division, says that
the machine will not be capable of
more than 90 miles an hour, because
of the peculiar construction of the
planes made. for It, but it will be ca
pable of mounting quickly to great
heights. His observation Is that the
machine promises ability to ascend
with at least six persons. '
quired to complete the trail -blaring,
for the route for the most part has
never been charted, and the Saxon pio
neers will have to feel their way along.
Auto Owners Will
Boost Bond Scheme
Every, automobile - owner in Wasco
naunty has been asked by The Dalles
Chamber of Commerce to contribute
$2to a fund being raised to carry on
a campaign In the county in behalf
of -the six million 'dollar bond issue.
One of he first contributors was
J, C. Hostetler, who wrote: "It is more
pleasure for me to pay $2 for a bet
ter roads fund than . to pay for a
broken spring, extra tires and .gaso
line and then have roads over which
there, is no pleasure in driving."
Cameron Squires, president and man
ager of the Portland Motor Car com
pany, completed arrangements last
week for .their new, building to be
erected, on ' the northwest corner of
Tenth and Burnside streets.
Full plans and specifications for the
new building have been completed and
the work will be begun at onoe and
rushed to completion by June 1. The
building is to be a one story modem
fireproof structure of yellow-white
brick construction, 100x100, and is to
cost $15,000. Provisions have been
made for a large service room and a
work shop, besides offices and display
rooms.
The Portland Motof Car company is
at present located, in the Keats build
ing, but on account of crowded quar
ters, Mr. Squires has endeavored to
complete arrangements for a new loca
tion for the Packard cars for some
little time and. secured a lease on this
