Is the report mule by motor ists who have Just finished the I'ort-land-San Francisco trip. They st'e that white there are yet many mile of unimproved road between Pan Francisco and Portland, the graded highways are beginning to be the ruii rather than the exception. One of the latest motorists to make this trip Is O. A. McGee of the Howard Automobile Co., San Francisco branch, who has Just returned from a 2000 mire vacation trip with his family in on of the new lx-cylln1er, flve-pah-senger Bulcks. In speaking of road conditions and other matters relating to this aectlcn of the west, McGee says: 'Owinir to an unusually ttawn Oregon and Washington farm ers will be a lltt: ahort on their crops, but the high prices which they are getting for every ounce of food tuff they can raise will more than ofrset the crop shortage, so taking everything Into consideration tho Pacifhs. northwest !s in an unusually prosperous condJtlon.

The 17 miles .n-i.irat:n Yreka and Hornbrook Is all' t i v r a new prtkAc and some of the most interesting scenery on th entire trip is to be foun.l on this new piece of road.

After the entertainment of a smoker and Clgnt refrofhments, about 10 o'clocic the run to Eugene was started. Fast time was made, the most of thrm reaching there at midnight. Speed Unit Criticised M.

This speeding has been I expericn. ed on the dealers' run be- ' cause a fast schedule has been main tained between ail towns. Monday night was spent at the Os borne hotel and at 9 o'clock the next morning the members of the party, tog-ether with Kugene dealers, on joyed breakfast. Frank Jenkins, prov ident of tho Chamber of Commerce, presided a-s toast master and welcomed the dealera Rev. A. M. Spangler also delivered an address that was cheered. At 7 o'clock a venison banquet served that was enjoyed by all tba ; visitors. Entertainment was furnished the balance of the evening by the Commercial olub and at 10 o'clock th . next morning all departed for Grants Pass. Short stops were made at Myrtle Crock, Canyonville, Olendale and Wolf Creek. Upon arrival some wont swltO. ming in the Rogue river, while others went fishing up the river near Ament dam. At 6:30 several hundred people went to the city park on the banks of tho Rojri.e river for a picnic dinner, especially for the automobile dealers, served by the Girls' Honor Ckiard. . Following the dinner, a program of talks, songs and fun, witn tne local band fillins In with music, kept up lively time until late In the evening. To Oregon Cares A number of the party left late that night for the Josephine caves and the rest early the next morning, where, a thorough inspection of this Oregoi wonder was made. On reaching Mcdford those who had ridden horseback to the caves felt the result of their experience and ate their meals standing. Yesterday the party drove to Ashland over the paved hl"h way and from that point the majority of the party proceded under sealed orders. WITH PACKARD FIRM Factory Chiefs Tackle Job With Loyal Determination to Meet Army Demands, Expert Advises Care Be Given Tire Cuts With the summer motoring season half over. It is an opportune time for automobile tires to receive a thorough Inspection, so that their full mileage may bo obtained without Interruption. "Watch for the small cuts." advisee the Bervlce-managcr of the Flek Rub ber company. Spot them when they are small and harmless. If they are then filled with a good quality of rum rubber they will be prevented from developing to tho stage where positive injury to tread and fabric would re sult. "Sand and gravel eat their way rapidly Into the heart of a tire.- Upon reaching the fabric, real trouble for the motorist qulrklv develops and a blow-out is Inevitable sooner or later, Plugging up a small cut is a very simple matter, requiring only a mo ment of time, yet it is sure to save many a disappointment and many a dollar of tire value to the man who watches out."

This canyon for merly contained the worst piece of road between Portland and San Fran cisco. A new grade five miles long has changed this, however, and Cow creek canyon no lonffcr holds any ter rors for the motorist with even a lim ited amount of experience. Near the south end of the canyon there are a couDle of miles of rough road and then a good graveled road leads into Glen dale. Another bad piece of read has been eliminated between Glendale ani Wolf creek by a new grade that starts one half mile south of Glendai and winds up over the mountains to the left of the old road. The roads are good, but some steep grades are enco-intered between Wolf creek and Grants Pass. Orir the Slsklyons "At this potnt the motorist wishing to drive to California via the coast route turns west to Waldo and Cres cent City and then down the coast via Eureka. The best road, however. Is the Pacifc highway, vrhlch con tinues south through the Rogue river valley to Rogue river. Gold Hill and Central Point. At this place a con rt. hirhway is encountered and followed through the towns of Bed ford and Ashland, one of which towns hnuM h made a night stop. -Soon after leaving Ashland the feot mil r thn Slskiou mountains are reached and tt is here the l9t exam pie of road Improvement is found. The Slskiyous were formerly a severe test on the most powerful of cars, and In some of our record runs rrom san Francisco to Portland and Seattle ln 1113 and 1814. we passed as many as 1 machines either broken down or tailed on these mountains. -In building the present highway over the Slskiyous, the engineers have entirely abandoned the old road and haTe built a grade wide enough for two machines to peas on at any point and hae reduced the grade so that we had no trouble at all in maintain ing an average speed of i5 miles per hour over It Part of the grade on the Oregon aide has been surfaced with concrete, and the balance Is cov ered with ieary coatlnj of iraTeL AU ot the California aide baa been was ln progresa Satisfactory OoU At Corning ,we encountered the highway, w hlci We followed with hardly a break through Orland.

Winters and V&cavllle. where we again Joined the highway and fol lowed it on through Fairfield to Cor delia, at which place we took the Jamison canyon route to Napa and the Black Point cutoff, and on througn San Ranfael and SausaJlto to San Frnclsco. "The speedometer showed 749.5 for the trip from' Portland and we made it ln two days and one night of driv ing. In order to escape the heat of the Sacramento valley, we drove di rect from' the Sweet Broad ranch near Dunamuir to San Francisco, making the 313 miles in about 11 hours, most of It after dark. In the three weeks we were away from San Hranclsco, our Bulck "Six" covered mljre thau 20u0 miles, and in this entire distance we did not experience the least bit ol trouble with it. and all this ln spite of the fact that it had had over 14,000 miles of hard driving before the sta-t of the present trip."

This is the advice of I. C. Carlson of Wausa, Neb. He has Just arrived ln San Francisco after a trip from his middle west home to Turlock in a Maxwell sedan. I Mrs. Carlson backs up her husband s tatements ln ever particular. The Carlsons have been in Turlock the last month visiting her father, O. W. Johnson. According to the log of the Carlson 1 tour, which was made ln 11 days, the total cost of the run from Wausa to I Turlock was $90. This Included every ! thing in the line of fuel, oil and per- sonal expenses. i The repair bill was represented by I a row of ciphers, for not even a puno j tur marred the pleasures of the road. "The roads were In terrible shape ! through Wyoming," said Carlson ln ! telling of their Journey, "and every machine, but one, that came along. shipped rather than tackle the harJ going." "We elected to follow the other fellow, but soon we were alone, as he developed clutch trouble and was com pelled to quit. At most points we were forced to make our own roads through the eagrbrush, and the won der is that the tires stood It at all." The tourists experienced the most adverse weather conditions known in years. They recount an interesting trip filled with adventura Three thousand 8-ton rhalnless trucks have Just been ordered by the United States war department fron-. the Packard Motor Car company. This Is the second quantity order placed by the government with the Packard re cently, and brings the total of the two orders up to 4800 trucks, representing a money value of more than 816,000,000. "This Is a big task the government has laid on us." said President Alvan Macauley. "but it Is met with an equal ly big demonstration of loyal determi nation among the executives of our manufacturing division, the superin tendents and foremen and the workmen of the truck factory to see the Job through on time. "We of the Packard feel that the placing of this order is a distinct In dication of Detroit's importance in the government's plan for successful prosecution of the war. The center of tho world's motor Industry is to be. Judging from these orders, the center of America's war transportation in dustry. That means a great deal when you stop to consider that this war is primarily a war of machines, food and transportation. "The picture before the eyes of the builders of these trucks is that with every operation they complete they in sure Just so much more food and am munition for their fellow Americans on the fighting front." The latest order, like the earlier one for 1800 trucks, specifies the Packard's standard 3-ton, and delivery is ap portioned for the months between now and the early part of 1918. There are already- 12i0 Packard trucks ln tne United Staes army, navy and marine corps service, and with the delivery of these there will be more than 6000.
