Frank En in, motorcycle patrolman, who has to his credit 698 arrests for traffic violations in a year.
What one motorcycle patrolman is
able to accomplish in upholding traf
fic laws Is shown In the report made
to the police bureau by Patrolman
Frank Ervln. It is a condensed diary
of a motorcycle policeman, with a hun
dred thrills and mile-a-minnte chases
left out.
Exactly $7246 was assessed by the
municipal court in fines on the arrests
made by this one officer In one year.
The number of arrests made was 698,
the majority being for speeding, al
though nearly every variety of traffic
offense was represented.
The report Is an effectual reply to
criticism made in most cities employ
ing motorcycle police officers, which
alleges tihat favoritism la shown in en
forcing traffic laws.
Patrolman Ervin'o report of arrests
goes into every walK of life, business
and profession that might reason
ably be expected to endow Us follower
with an automobile. Chauffeurs hea.d
the list with 288, but It Is reasonable
to suppose that this occupation la
given by many who desire to conceal
their business Identity.
Out of over 1700 cases that Ervln
has handled during the past aeveral
years, only one case has been lost and
that one through a jury trial In police
court. This record is unexcelled in
any other city in tne United States.
Eighty-five per cent of the offenders
entered a plea of guilty in open court.
Maxwell Oars Will
Hald Mileage Test
In order to find out the greatest
mileage possible to be obtained with
one gallon Of gasoline in a Maxwell
touring car, the Maxwell Motors Cor
poration Is offering J5000 In gold to be
given away In 15 prizes among Max
well distributors and dealers for the
best record made.
May 23 has been set aside for the
gasoline company proof day and prac
tically every Maxwell distributor n
the United States will participate in
the record breaking contest. Recently
a record of 46.5 miles to one gallon of
gasoline was made by Clarence Brad
shaw in San Diego.
Individual gasoline tanks that will
be furnished by the Maxwell company
will be fastened to the windshield and
attached to the carburetor so as to
make an accurate test. Each run la
to be officially observed in every city
where the run Is to 'be made.
C. la. Boss, of Boss & Peake Oo., of
this city, has entered the contest and
will make every effort to win first
prize.
Announcement is made by Forest
Supervisor T. H. Sherrard of the Ore
gon national forest that . the camp
grounds at Eagle creek on the Colum
bia river highway are In readiness
for the 1917 season. Water pipes
have been connected up ao that run
ning water la available at the various
camp sites. New tables for use of
campers and picnickers have been
built and a splendid parkins place for
automobiles has been conveniently lo
cated near the entrance of the camp
grounds.
Over 15,000 people visited the
grounds in 1916 and it Is expected
that several times that number will
do so this year. The picturesque
Eagle creek trail, butlt last year by
the forest service, leading up the can
yon from the camp grounds, has been
cleared of the few windfalls and slides
of winter and is now open for a dls
tance of four and one-half miles.
A high bridge has been built acrosc
Eaple creek where the trail now ends,
and It Is expected that the trail will
be completed to Wahtum lake during
the coming field season. This will
open up some very attractive country
that Is now Inaccessible and make
possible a fine 27-mlle hiking trip
from the Columbia highway at Eagle
creek camp grounds up the Eagle
creek canyon and over the divide to
Wahtum lake, returning to the high
way at Herman Ranger station by
way of Herman creek trail.
The O-W. R. A N. company has
erected a station at Eagle creek which
is now a flag stop the same as Mult
nomah Falls, so that parties may
visit the camp grounds by highway
or by rail.
Pacific Highway
Ass'n Will Convene
For the purpose of emphasizing the
need of Improved highways in the gen
eral scheme of national oreoaredness a
special meeting of the Pacific assoia'
tlon win be held In Seattle tomorrrv.
Three specific propositions will be
considered, the appointment of & com
mittee to cooperate with federal offi
cials In mapping and planing highways
suitable for military purposes in the
states of Oregon, California and Wash
ington; the appointment of a commit
tee to cooperate with the officers of
the various states Interested looking
to the completion of the hard surfac
ing of the Pacific highway at the
earliest possible date and the appoint
ment of a committee to urge upon con
gress immediate action towards the
building of a military highway along
the Pacific coast from British Colum

Achievement
Value
Attraction
SEE the new model B-4-2 Briscoe a big. powerful
looking car. It will make you say, "This Briscoe sat
Isflea my ideals." Building it entirely in our own
new factories allowed us to make the price $725.
A LARGER motor, additional equipment, finer finish,
make a car value, we feel, never equaled before. Ten
big factories and an experience dating from the be
ginning of the Industry enable Mr. Briscoe to give so
much for ao little.
P LEASING design, fine upholstery, unusual leg room,
easy-to-und erst and controls, accessibility of every
working part, makes this a car that fills your every
desire.
